Chapter 13: Farm Level Up, Jiang He Makes a Move

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang He did not leave his house for four days.

The happiest thing for him on each day was to wake up in the morning to harvest hundred-dollar bills. Since he was earning no less than ten thousand dollars per day, the effortless profiting proved extremely satisfying.

[Ding!]

[Farm points +1]

[Ding...]

The System’s notifications would keep ringing right beside his ears, while his eyes would be kept glued to the System panel.

The EXP progress bar of his farm level was slowly rising, with 0.05 EXP added with each hundred-dollar bill plucked, earning him 5 EXP with each 100 bill.

And eventually, he collected his one hundred hundred-dollar bills for the day.

[Ding!]

Another crisp System notification rang in his ear.

[Congratulations, Host! Your farm is now level 2.]

[Bonus Rewards: Pea seeds x3, System backpack +3 boxes]

Letting loose a long, drawn out breath, Jiang He checked the System Panel again.

[Name: Jiang He]

[Cultivation: Rank-3 Advanced]

[Ability: None]

[Martial Arts Cultivation: Indestructible Diamond (Initiate+)]

[Owned Land: 888m²]

[Farm Level: 2 (EXP 1/500)]

[System Backpack: 6 boxes]

[System Shop: Unlocked]

[Farm Points: 263]

“Eh? My cultivation has already reached rank three-advanced?”

“Since all I’ve been doing lately was eat and sleep, I really didn’t notice that my cultivation improved...

“There are around fifty-five cuc.u.mbers left. I estimate that I would reach rank-four after eating another fifteen... but once I reach that level, I would have to start cultivating martial arts.”

Rank one to three cultivated the body.

While other martial artists must train in cultivation and hone their physical forms, Jiang He only had to eat his cuc.u.mbers.

But rank four was different: for martial artists, rank four was where they cultivate one’s True Qi.

So, Jiang He needed another cultivation manual.

“With my farm being level two now, I can plant two more manuals... and I’m going to need something aside from the Nine Yang Manual. Treading Over Ripples would be a good choice, but I wonder if I could get its instructions online—but I guess it’s fine even if I don’t since the stuff on the net is just fiction, and I could make up my own if need be.

“And since I’ve not tried planting weapons, I should try it out.”

Nonetheless, unbeknownst to Jiang He, it was already noon, and he sighed a little when he noticed the hour.

“Seven days ago, I would probably be only awake at this hour... to think that seven days have already pa.s.sed.

“Anyway, let’s test out the pea seeds the System rewarded me and see its effects!”

He was about to plant the pea seeds when another System notification rang in his head.

[Ding!]

[Seven-day gift pack has been awarded to Host. Please check at your own leisure.]

“Oh?”

Jiang He did a double take, and soon burst into laughter.

Seven-day gift pack... why did it feel no different from the farming game he had played in his previous life? Seven-consecutive days of login was rewarded with a gift pack, as would an entire month’s worth of logins.

Hence, Jiang He checked his System backpack.

The first box held cuc.u.mbers, which numbered at 55.

The second box held corn, which numbered at 82—Jiang He had been eating cuc.u.mbers to improve his cultivation over the last few days, therefore leaving his corn untouched.

The third box held three golden pea seeds, whereas the fourth held a Mystery Bag.

With his interest piqued, Jiang He opened the Mystery Packet.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Mysterious Soil.]

A small bag that holds fertilizer just like the ones sold at floral markets appeared in Jiang He’s System backpack right then. And inside of it was—

“Screw me!”

“What the heck is this black clump of stuff?”

A series of data appeared even as Jiang He fixed his eyes upon it.

[Mysterious Soil]

[Possess unknown effects that strengthen crops. Improves soil for a certain period of time, having the same effects as farm soil in the outside world.]

Jiang He was a little speechless.

What good was this stuff?

‘Can’t I just use my own soil here?’

“By the way, the farmers I read about in novels could carry their entire farms with them and sow it any time, anywhere. Why are you so low-tech?

“System?

“System?”

Jiang He cursed after shouting for half a day but receiving no answer from the System. Nonetheless, just as he was about to plant one of the pea seeds to test its abilities, he heard a loud noise.

Someone was slapping on his main gates loudly, with a bold voice then calling out, “Old Jiang, you in there?”

Jiang He glanced downwards at Dumbo by his feet and scolded, “d.a.m.n it, can’t you bark a little when someone’s here?”

If something like this happened in anyone else’s home, their dog’s chains might not hold their pet.

As for Dumbo?

It was being listless, and only reared its head to bark several times feebly at Jiang He’s rebuke.

“...”

Shoving off Dumbo with his foot, Jiang He walked out of his yard and opened his gates.

Gates in a farming village were fas.h.i.+oned out of steel and mostly green, red, or silver.

The gates to Jiang He’s house had been red at first, but after some time had pa.s.sed, it began to rust at certain spots.

And when he opened his gates, he found palm prints all over it.

Each was very clear, and had directly dented the metal.

Outside, a skinny man dressed in a suit and shades smiled awkwardly. “Sorry about that, Old Jiang... but don’t worry, I’m going to get you some new gates.”

The boorish-look of the man... it was Two Dog Li, real name Li Fei!

Jiang He was speechless and scowling.

“Can’t you hold back a little when knocking on someone’s door?”

“I’ve just awakened; I haven’t mastered my strength.”

“Right. Didn’t the National Special Case Management Bureau catch you? Did they let you go?”

“What do you mean, caught?”

Li Fei took off his shades and grinned proudly. “I was invited there, alright?”

Even as he spoke, he deliberately loosened his suit a little to reveal the pa.s.s he put in his s.h.i.+rt pocket underneath. “The Bureau knows that I’ve awakened superpowers,” he then added calmly. “That’s why they’ve invited me over, asking that I join their group.”

“Eh...”

“Actually, I’m too used to freedom and uncomfortable with being controlled, but the Bureau’s invite is sincere. Since I’m contributing to the country too, I could only join them despite my misgivings.”

Heh.

Forcing back his laughter, Jiang He deliberately said, “That awesome, huh? Won’t you be an official from now on?”

After all, the dude had clearly learned that Jiang He was a ‘beast-tamer’ and came to show off.

Of course, there was no way that Two Dog Li would know that Jiang He was already aware that he was a D-cla.s.s awakened with superstrength... a bottom-feeder amongst superhumans and the most-common type at that, and naturally less useful than w.a.n.g Siyu.

Nonetheless, the two men began to chatter away idly when w.a.n.g Siyu approached them from a distance.

“You’re here too, Li Fei? Very well. I don’t have to inform you separately about tonight’s operation.”

She then turned toward Jiang He, who began to think up various ‘affectionate’ scenes between himself and w.a.n.g Siyu by habit. Nonetheless, she didn’t blush, but appeared quite shocked instead.

The truth was that she had used her mind-reading, but she couldn’t sense Jing He’s actual thoughts as usual.

“Is her mind-reading useless against me after my ability has increased?” The idea suddenly occurred to Jiang He.

But why was he a little disappointed when it was supposed to be a good thing?

“Hmm...” w.a.n.g Siyu mused for a moment, gritting her teeth. “Jiang He, can you help?”

“Baitugang Village was attacked by a Feral last night. Three were killed, eight were injured, just as many livestock were harmed or killed. Most of our organizations’ specialist had been diverted to Mount Dadong and are lacking in personnel. With you being a beast tamer, I was hoping to ask you for help.”

Jiang He didn’t agree to it immediately.

Considering the matter for a moment, he then asked, “What level is the Feral?”

“I can help, but I have a condition: I want certain information about the revival of qi, could the Bureau provide me some information?”
