59: Watermelons are ripe, Guan Ningshuang's gift (fourth update)

Climbed up the nearby big tree, parted the dense leaves, and chiseled a hole in the tree trunk.

Activated Home, placed the crystal ball into the hole, and pulled leaves over it to conceal it.

Finally, he summoned the portal and walked in.

“It really works, a smart person's mind is truly flexible.”

Things went as expected, making Liu Yang a little pleased.

He didn't immediately return to the villa, but came to the edge of the fertile field.

He couldn't cook meat and was tired of bread, so he wanted to ripen the watermelon to try something fresh.

He glanced at his Spiritual Energy reserves, which, instead of decreasing, had increased and already surpassed the 3000 mark.

“Replenish Spiritual Energy.”

Looking at the lush green crops in the fertile field, Liu Yang waved his hand and replenished 500 points.

Afterward, he said again, “Activate Acceleration.”

As his words fell, the fertile field emitted an ethereal mist, enveloping the crops.

Immediately after, the crops in the field grew rapidly at a visible speed.

Before long, the crops in the field successively bloomed.

However, just then, the mist dissipated.

“Gone?”

“Only 500 points for this?”

Liu Yang's jaw dropped in surprise.

“Replenish Spiritual Energy.”

He didn't feel any heartache, and with another wave of his hand, 1000 points immediately went down.

Having money made him this willful.

“Activate Acceleration.”

Flowers bloomed and withered.

Chili peppers, cotton, and watermelons all bore fruit.

When the 1000 points of Spiritual Energy were used up, the fruits were just a tiny bit short of maturity.

Liu Yang's expression didn't change, and another 5200 points went down.

Ahem, no matter how much Spiritual Energy there is, it shouldn't be wasted indiscriminately.

With these 200 points of Spiritual Energy used, all the crops matured.

Just as Liu Yang was about to go down and harvest them, something unexpected happened.

At the very moment the crops matured, the two scarecrows by the field moved.

That's right, the scarecrows moved on their own.

The two scarecrows strode with an arrogant gait, weaving through the fertile field, their two arms flailing up and down.

【The scarecrows harvested the crops for you, obtaining 160 watermelons, 150 jin of chili peppers, and 200 jin of cotton.】

“Holy crap, I'm rich! I'm super rich!”

He hadn't realized it at first, but after everything was harvested, Liu Yang discovered that the harvest was surprisingly huge.

“Looks like I need to buy more seeds.”

“No, that won't do either. Seeds are cheap, but the Spiritual Energy consumption is too high.”

“This last batch alone cost 1700 points. Besides me, I doubt many others could afford it.”

“If I sell the watermelons, I wonder if I can use Spiritual Energy points as payment.”

Amidst his wild thoughts, Liu Yang suddenly had an idea.

“Seems like I can give it a try.”

Having made a decision, Liu Yang ran towards the villa.

Because even if he were to sell them, he'd have to taste them first.

In the villa's living room, a large, round watermelon was placed on the dining table, similar to a Kylin watermelon.

He cut the watermelon in half, Liu Yang picked up one half, and ate it with a spoon.

This was his favorite way to eat watermelon.

“Refreshing! It's very sweet and juicy. It would be even more refreshing if it were chilled.”

“Huh? I think I know Ice Arrow Technique, if…”

One minute later.

The other half of the watermelon was placed on a bucket.

There was water at the bottom, and two Ice Arrows were placed beside it.

Burp!

He let out a satisfied burp, Liu Yang leaned back and crossed his legs.

He called up the game interface, and a pop-up window appeared.

【Guan Ning霜 traded with you, and you obtained 10 charcoal-grilled lamb skewers.】

“Huh? Guan Ning霜?”

“Has she been doing so well? She's even eating skewers now.”

“But then again, as a chef, what's wrong with eating skewers!”

Liu Yang took out the lamb skewers.

Large chunks of meat were skewered on long bamboo sticks.

A gentle breeze blew, and the whole room was filled with fragrance.

The lamb was sprinkled with chili powder and cumin, and sizzling hot oil was oozing out, indicating it had just been grilled.

Slurp!

Smelling the tempting aroma, Liu Yang's mouth watered profusely, and his recently full stomach instantly felt hungry again.

“Well, watermelon is mostly water, and it goes into a different stomach than solid food. So, it's normal to be hungry. After all, I haven't had a proper meal yet, have I?”

Finding an excuse for his gluttony, Liu Yang began to eat heartily.

“Delicious!”

Liu Yang praised it, then said with some regret:

“Too bad there's no beer.”

He then remembered he had a few bottles of cola in his warehouse, and with a wave of his hand, he immediately took them out.

“No beer, so be it. I'll use cola as a substitute for now. Anyway, they're both fizzy drinks.”

Pop!

Gulp, gulp!

He opened the cola and drank it down in big gulps.

“Ah~~~ So refreshing!!!”

Before long, the ten skewers were eaten, and Liu Yang's belly was distended.

“After eating her skewers, wouldn't it be rude not to say thank you?”

“My own watermelons are ripe, so sending one for her to taste should be fine, right?”

Thus, Liu Yang took out a watermelon and traded it to Guan Ning霜.

“Thank you for the skewers, they tasted amazing.”

“Coincidentally, the watermelons I grew just ripened, so please have a taste as well.”

Since he had given one to Guan Ning霜, it wouldn't be good not to give one to Guan Ningxiu and Guan Ningyan.

So he gave one to each of them as well.

“Sigh, I hope they're all doing well.”

Finally.

Liu Yang took out eighteen pieces of stone armor explosive ape meat and traded them to Guan Ning霜, sending her a private message.

“Ahem, to those who are capable, more work is given. Could you please help process this meat? After it's done, keep some for yourself to eat. Adding some physique can also increase your strength.”

Alright, Liu Yang admitted, this was the main point.

In an unknown place in the Fairy World, three beautiful maidens sat around a bonfire.

They drank sweet fruit juice, ate delicious skewers, and chatted and laughed, as if holding a party.

“Big Sister, when are we going to find Lord Liu Yang?”

As the celebration neared its end, Guan Ningyan looked at Guan Ning霜 with pleading eyes.

“Anytime is fine, as long as you can tell me where he is.”

Guan Ning霜 didn't even look at Guan Ningyan and replied coldly.

Guan Ningxiu advised, “Little Sister, don't bother Big Sister anymore. The world is vast, and this place is boundless. Where are we going to find Liu Yang?!”

“Alright…”

Guan Ningyan replied with a regretful expression, then sighed:

“Sigh! What a pity for my streaming career that had just begun…”

Suddenly, she changed the subject and looked at Guan Ning霜 with anticipation.

“Big Sister, could you please return my camera first? Let me video call Da Lao and chat for a bit?”

“Don't even think about it.” Guan Ning霜 flatly refused, “Unless you diligently fight monsters and level up, and reach level ten, I will definitely return it to you.”

“Level ten?” Guan Ningyan jumped up in shock, her eyes wide, and said excitedly:

“Big Sister, you're too cruel! You know how hard it is to get level pill fragments. If you don't want to return it, just say so! Hmph!!!”

Just then, Guan Ningxiu reminded them:

“Big Sister, Little Sister, it seems monsters are coming.”

Hearing this, Guan Ning霜 immediately stood up.

Looking in the direction Guan Ningxiu pointed, there were several giant beasts running in a straight line towards them.

“Wind Piercing Magic Spear”

Guan Ning霜's cherry lips parted slightly, and a three-meter long, dark cyan spear appeared in her hand.

Its length was as tall as two of her.

Then Guan Ning霜 took a large step forward and threw the spear in her hand like a javelin.

Whoosh!

As soon as the spear left her hand, it tore through space and flew towards the giant beasts.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

A series of sounds of flesh being pierced rang out.

The giant beasts fell one after another, turning into dust and disappearing.

If Liu Yang had seen this, he would probably have been greatly startled.

This group of fierce Earth Palace Creatures would have given him a huge headache even if he encountered them.

But what was the reality?

Guan Ning霜 stood in place and solved it with a wave of her hand.
