Chapter 563
C563 – What the Hell Is This?
The flesh of the Peach of Immortality glistened, translucent and delicate, as if it were about to drip with beauty. A rich fragrance burst forth, enveloping the senses. It was incredibly aromatic! Just the scent alone made Su Ming’s mouth water uncontrollably.
It’s important to note that the System had previously produced a fair share of edible items, each boasting a Top Grade flavor. Yet, the taste of this Peach of Immortality was so irresistible that Su Ming could hardly keep from devouring it on the spot.
“No, I must resist. I absolutely have to hold back!” Su Ming inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, clenching his teeth in determination. The Peach of Immortality offered more than just a tantalizing scent; it possessed an overwhelming temptation.
With his eyes closed, Su Ming reached out, trying not to dwell on the peach, and extracted the core from its center. Given that the peach was as large as a watermelon, the core was surprisingly the size of a regular peach. As soon as the core was removed, the peach’s flesh dissolved into liquid and seeped into the ground, vanishing without a trace.
“Sigh…” Su Ming let out a sigh of disappointment. Well, he could always plant the remaining four and sample their flavors later. With the peach gone, Su Ming didn’t want to dwell on it. He turned the core over in his hands, examining it closely. It was crystal clear, shimmering like quartz, with gentle ripples across its surface. At its heart was a small bead the size of a soybean—presumably what the System had referred to.
Su Ming extended his hand and carefully reached into the core. As expected, he encountered no resistance and easily retrieved the object.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained an Evolution Pill. Using this item will allow you to evolve one of your skills!” The System’s announcement left Su Ming momentarily taken aback. Was it really that powerful?
Su Ming reviewed his array of skills, realizing he had quite a selection. Yet, he decided not to use the pill immediately. There was no rush. Once he reached a higher level, he would likely cultivate even more formidable skills. That would be the time to use the Evolution Pill. Yes, that was the plan!
”Ding! You’ve successfully harvested your crop. You’ve earned 1,000,000 Experience Points! Additional Reward: 200,000!”
“Ding! Item recycled. Congratulations, Host, you’ve received 100,000 experience points! Additional reward: 20,000!”
After storing his items, Su Ming heard the notification in his mind.
Wow!
Was that a lot of experience or what?
Over 1.3 million experience points?
I was so far from leveling up, but now I’m just 800,000 points away.
[Leveling up with these things is definitely quicker.]
Considering that three people were still asleep inside, Su Ming decided against using the tractor.
Instead, he grabbed a hoe and shovel from the storage and began tilling the soil in the yard.
Bathed in moonlight, Su Ming worked tirelessly from around eight or nine in the evening until one or two in the morning.
Only then was the acre of land finally tidied up.
Phew!
Su Ming let out a breath of relief.
He stretched, feeling a bit weary after such a long stint of labor. He had the Stamina Talent, but Su Ming preferred not to rely on it while working.
How else could he truly appreciate the essence of farming?
He gingerly opened the door and stepped inside the house.
Listening intently, he noted the three girls were still sleeping deeply. Su Ming smiled and made his way upstairs to his bedroom, softly closing the door behind him.
He powered up his computer.
“Brother, Xiaoqing has detected that you need to hydrate. I’ve brought you a cup of salt water,” Xiaoqing said as she entered, placing a glass of water in front of Su Ming. He nodded in thanks and downed the water in one go.
But Xiaoqing remained standing behind him, not leaving. Su Ming didn’t mind and proceeded to open the online store.
As soon as he did, a burst of light flashed across the screen!
My goodness!
There were new Level Three seeds and crops available!
Su Ming quickly clicked to check them out, starting with the plantation area.
Aside from two acres planted with green bananas, the rest of the land had been upgraded and was empty.
Su Ming decided to dedicate an acre to planting another Celestial Peach.
He planned to use the remaining five acres for a variety of new crops.
A shimmering seed then appeared on the screen.
“This is…”
Su Ming squinted, recognizing the seed. Unless he was mistaken, it appeared to be…
Gourd?!
Upon a second glance at the name.
Crying for his parents, Gourd Kids!
???
Three question marks instantly popped into Su Ming’s head. “Hello, System, you need to come out and explain this to me. What’s with this name, and why do I have zero desire to buy it?”
Surely this seed won’t start bawling non-stop the moment it’s planted, right?
What in the world is this?
Gulp!
Su Ming swallowed hard and blinked.
To buy or not to buy, that was the question that warranted some serious thought.
“Ah, forget it, I might as well buy it.”
With a resigned sigh, Su Ming acknowledged that there really wasn’t another option at the moment.
He glanced at the price tag. Wow, the price had shot up to two million for one seed!
Well then.
It looked like it was time to buckle down and make some money because things were only getting pricier by the minute.
Su Ming proceeded to make the payment and purchased all ten seeds.
Next, he turned his attention to the herding area.
It seemed the System was quite in tune with him, knowing that once one item matured, it would immediately refresh with another. Otherwise, the space would just be sitting empty, serving no purpose.
A Level Three animal had also appeared in the herding area.
This creature was stunning, cloaked in pure, snow-white fur.
Lotus Cat?
Su Ming blinked at the name.
He examined the image closely.
It looked almost identical to a regular cat, except for its strikingly pure white fur, without a single hair of any other color.
But what was truly remarkable was the blooming lotus at the tip of the cat’s tail, with several butterflies fluttering around it.
This was a nice find!
Buy!
But now, Su Ming was puzzled. Shouldn’t cats be in the breeding zone?
Typically, smaller animals like cats would be there, while the herding area was for larger species.
Nevertheless, Su Ming didn’t dwell on it. He promptly completed the purchase and headed downstairs, eager not to delay any further.
First, he went to the courtyard.
He took out another Celestial Peach seed and planted it on an acre of land.
“Ding! The Celestial Peach has been successfully planted! Harvest time: 72 hours!”
?
Why had it changed to three days?
Su Ming blinked.
Well, no use overthinking it.
Su Ming pulled out the weeping gourd doll once more!
“Wow! I want my dad!”
“Wow! I want my mom!”
No sooner had the seed been revealed than two tiny hands and a pair of small horns sprouted on the surface of the Calabash Brother, complete with an exceptionally human-like face that broke into a wide-mouthed, heart-wrenching sob.
“I…”
Holding the Calabash Brother, Su Ming felt a headache coming on. Now, what was he to do with this thing?
