18: Double level rise, count the harvest

The environment on the second floor was similar to the first, just slightly smaller.

But the Bookworms didn't decrease; instead, there were more.

At a glance, they were densely packed.

With his previous experience, Liu Yang didn't wait for the Bookworms to act and launched an attack first.

Swish, swish, swish.

Swish, swish, swish.

Crossbow bolts shot wildly, and Bookworms fell one after another.

Bang!

A Bookworm took advantage of the gap while Liu Yang was reloading bolts, leaped up, and crashed into him.

Liu Yang was startled.

He checked briefly and found he was completely unharmed.

"That's right, I'm level 5 now, and I have excellent quality leather armor. What am I afraid of?"

And so.

Liu Yang stood still, only paying attention to defense above his neck, and focused on attacking.

This way, the Bookworms died even faster.

Kill monsters, retrieve bolts, go upstairs.

Second floor, third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor.

Before long, all the Bookworms in the Book Tower were eliminated.

Liu Yang stood by the window on the fifth floor and looked out.

Besides the land, grass, and flowers near the Book Tower.

Further away, it was just a chaotic expanse.

He raised his hand and shot a bolt; the bolt flew into the edge of the chaos.

An invisible force appeared.

The bolt was like ice falling into molten lava.

Melting, evaporating, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

A chill went through Liu Yang's heart, and he didn't dare try again.

At the same time, he was extremely glad he hadn't foolishly gone over there before.

He looked at the time in the upper right corner.

45:11:36.

"Ah, I've finished killing all the monsters, but I don't know how to get out."

"But even if I could get out, I wouldn't. What if they respawn after a while?"

Having nothing to do, Liu Yang began to tally his gains from the beginning until now.

"Coming up here, many bolts have been used up. I must replenish some."

[You crafted 100 excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow matching bolts. iron block -20, wood -40.].

[Congratulations! You obtained 100 excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow matching bolts.].

"It's a pity that only skill book page and Spiritual Energy drop here. It would be even better if other materials dropped too."

"Now that I have so much Spiritual Energy, I can feed some to the bread tree and replenish the faucet."

He acted as soon as he thought of it.

Liu Yang went down to the first floor and released his Home in the open space in the center.

Pushing the door open, he first walked towards the bread tree.

One point... two points... three points...

As the Spiritual Energy was invested, the flower buds slowly grew, bloomed, and bore fruit.

Until the 47th time, the bread finally matured.

Looking at the 3-meter-tall bread tree covered in palm-sized loaves of bread emitting a faint wheat aroma, Liu Yang smiled.

12341.

Forty-one loaves of bread.

By being frugal, even if he didn't get any other food drops, it would last for over a month.

He picked one and tasted it.

It had a rich wheat aroma, soft, glutinous, and sweet.

Next, there was an even more important matter to verify.

Liu Yang picked all the bread and stored it in the warehouse.

He looked at the bread tree again; it was lush and green.

It didn't wither immediately as he had worried.

"So, whether the bread tree can grow bread indefinitely as long as Spiritual Energy is invested will depend on the next experiment."

Thus, Liu Yang invested Spiritual Energy into the bread tree again.

10 points... 20 points... 30 points...

A large amount of Spiritual Energy was invested, but the bread tree didn't show any reaction.

This made Liu Yang's expression somewhat grim.

But he had already spent 30 points; wouldn't stopping now be a huge loss?

What if it was because there wasn't enough Spiritual Energy?

Another 20 points, and the bread tree finally changed.

Sharp points began to emerge again from various places on the branches.

Liu Yang looked closely and saw that they were indeed the pointed buds of flower buds.

"Okay, it's proven that this bread tree can produce bread again as long as it has Spiritual Energy."

"It's just that the consumption of Spiritual Energy is a bit high!"

After the bread tree matter was resolved.

Liu Yang collected the water from the bucket under the Spiritual Energy faucet into the warehouse.

Then he added 2 points of Spiritual Energy to the Spiritual Energy faucet.

The tasks were done, there were no monsters to fight, and no more crises.

After being unconscious for so long, even wanting to sleep, he didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.

Suddenly, Liu Yang felt a bit lost and empty.

This made him, who had always been on edge, feel somewhat unaccustomed.

"Oh right, I haven't told Shi Yufei about the bread harvest yet. This flower pot was provided by her. It's just right to send her some to taste."

After thinking back and forth.

Finally remembering there was something he could do, Liu Yang immediately took action.

"Thank you for providing the flower pot. I used it to plant a bread tree, the kind that can grow bread directly! As thanks, please have a taste of the first batch of bread harvested."

Trade, send.

Initial Dungeon No. 201314.

The young girl held the hard steamed bun and nibbled at it in small bites.

Her features were scrunched together, and she said pitifully:

"Ah, Sister Feifei, why hasn't your Da Lao replied yet? I'm still waiting for him to cook meat for us."

Shi Yufei soaked the steamed bun in clean water.

Then she opened her mouth, took a bite, chewed a few times, and swallowed.

"You know the situation everyone is in right now."

Maybe he's fighting some ferocious Earth Palace Creature.

Wait a little longer. Once he's done, I guarantee you'll eat until you're stuffed."

"Ah, to think of me, such a youthful and beautiful young girl."

At the age for listening to music, shopping, and watching movies.

I never expected to be dragged into this survival game to suffer.

Heaven is blind!"

"Since you're here, make the best of it. If you think about it carefully, it's much more exciting than boring study life."

"Really? I wonder who was always complaining about smelling bad and wanting a bath..."

"..."
