8: Chapter 8 Creating a Little Moon: Grandpa, I Want to Be an Internet Celebrity!
If this continued for a long time, it would lead to a terrible consequence: plants would decrease, animals would follow suit, and the entire ecosystem would completely collapse!
Perhaps by the time Jiang Jin entered again, he would be shocked to find the entire Origin Continent in dead silence, with no traces of any living species left!
"I must solve this problem!"
Jiang Jin threw away the seed, clapped his hands, and rubbed his chin in deep thought.
This kind of problem was definitely not a genetic disease or some unknown plant disease...
In that case, there was only one reason left: it was caused by external factors!
Thinking of this, Jiang Jin suddenly looked up and saw, five or six meters high in the sky, a light sphere the size of a glass marble, constantly emitting dazzling red light and a comfortable heat source toward the ground.
It was, naturally, the "Little Sun" that Jiang Jin had created yesterday.
"I know now—!"
"So, the problem lies here!"
The moment he saw the Little Sun, Jiang Jin suddenly realized!
It was missing a "Moon"!
As a graduate of Shenwan University, a key national university, although Jiang Jin majored in computer science, he also had some understanding of biological knowledge.
For example, if plants were exposed to sunlight for a long time without the sugar respiration consumption of the night, it would lead to an extreme situation where plants would only grow stems and leaves, making it difficult to accumulate fruits.
This situation was completely consistent with the current anomalies in the Origin Continent!
Thus, it could be seen that night was also an indispensable part of the ecosystem!
Thinking of this, Jiang Jin did not hesitate. His thoughts fluctuated, and the Authority of Creation instantly empowered his entire body.
Relying on the vision in his mind and the appearance of the moon in the real world, an irregular "gray sphere" took shape in Jiang Jin's hands.
It was about the size of a glass marble, and although it did not emit light, it could reflect some of the sunlight.
Immediately.
Jiang Jin sent it into the sky, orbiting around the Little Sun, following a set trajectory, rising in the east and setting in the west, sharing the day and night with the sun.
Thus, the Origin Continent welcomed—the distinction between day and night!
If one ignored the time flow ratio, both here and the outside world followed a twenty-four-hour system, with one day and one night operating in zones.
"It's looking more and more like a complete world..."
Jiang Jin clapped his hands and nodded with great satisfaction.
Immediately after, with a thought, a transparent crystal data panel appeared before his eyes:
[Creator: Jiang Jin]
[Rank: Lv1 (38 / 100)]
[World Origin Points: 14]
[Kin Life Rating: G]
[World Operation Information: Ten hours ago, devoured the Soul of a withered grass, obtained 0.17 World Origin Points. Eight hours ago, devoured the Soul of an ant, obtained 0.21 World Origin Points. Four hours ago, devoured the Soul of an earthworm, obtained 0.56 World Origin Points. Two hours ago, devoured the Soul of an aphid, obtained 0.34 World Origin Points...]
"The creation experience is increasing quite fast!"
Jiang Jin nodded. Only one night had passed, and the creation experience had rapidly grown from 9 to 38!
It had to be said that the richer the species, the more benefits one could obtain.
Moreover, the increase in creation experience also caused the Authority of Creation that Jiang Jin could utilize to improve simultaneously!
Jiang Jin also noticed that he had consumed all his World Origin Points last night, and now they had grown back to 14 drops!
"How should I reasonably use these World Origin Points?"
Jiang Jin stood in mid-air, looking at the lush, vibrant land below, lost in thought.
Let the plants be for now, but I must introduce several new types of small animals, especially those that prey on insects!
Otherwise, without the existence of "natural predators," the small animals here would inevitably multiply uncontrollably, and eventually... cause the entire ecosystem to collapse!
"Besides that, aquatic animals like small fish and shrimp cannot be missing either."
Jiang Jin turned his gaze toward the somewhat "empty" small pond in the land.
The small pond was the source of water for this land. Currently, it only contained a few types of water plants and no aquatic animals. He could not let it go to waste like this; he had to make reasonable use of it. Only then could he maximize the "harvesting" of Soul particles!
Having decided on his development strategy, Jiang Jin's consciousness returned to reality.
After drinking a few sips of coarse tea on the stone table, he got up from the rocking chair, picked up a shovel, carried it on his shoulder, and walked out of the courtyard.
Although there was a small abandoned vegetable garden and a small fish pond in the courtyard at home, the area was limited after all, and the species he needed were hard to find here.
"Hey, isn't this Little Jiang? Are you on vacation?"
On the country path, an old man who had passed the age of seventy saw Jiang Jin's figure and walked over with a happy expression. Behind him followed several young boys, clearly intending to go to the fields to do farm work.
"Yes, Grandpa Chen, I have graduated from university, I just got back last night."
"Graduation is good. Once you graduate, you can eat the government's 'imperial grain'." Old Man Chen grabbed Jiang Jin's hand with a gratified smile.
Jiang Jin followed the old man's words and said with a smile: "Yes, once I graduate, I can find a decent job."
Old Man Chen's house was not far from his, and although they were not related by blood, Jiang Jin was considered to have been watched over by Old Man Chen as he grew up, so they were quite close.
"You brats should learn more from your Brother Jiang. Back then, your Brother Jiang was the city's top scorer in the college entrance examination! When the results came out, many leaders from the city and county came! If this were in ancient times, he would be a surefire candidate for a high official!"
Speaking of Jiang Jin, Old Man Chen was quite proud. Although he was not his own grandson, he had watched him grow up, so he reprimanded the few young boys behind him without mercy.
Old Man Chen had experienced a lot in his life. Although he did not know many characters, he had great respect for educated people. After all, there were few paths in the countryside, and only by studying could one change their destiny.
"Grandpa Chen, you are too kind. There are many people who study well, and I am just one of them."
After chatting cordially with Old Man Chen for a few sentences, Jiang Jin carried his shovel and continued walking toward the fields.
"Did you see that? Your Brother Jiang is not only handsome but also polite and humble. He will definitely be a high official in the future!" Looking at Jiang Jin's departing back, Old Man Chen boasted to the few young boys beside him.
"Tch, what's the big deal? Didn't he still come back to farm?" A slovenly teenager muttered disdainfully.
As soon as Old Man Chen heard the teenager's muttering, he became furious. He raised the handle of the sickle in his hand and pretended to strike: "You brat, you spend all day holding your phone doing what kind of 'chick-broadcast'—you can't even compare to your Brother Jiang's heels!"
"Grandpa, that's called 'livestreaming'!" The teenager rubbed his nose with his thumb and said quite proudly: "In today's society, only 'money' is the hard truth! So what if he's a top scorer in the college entrance exam? Doesn't he still earn less than an influencer?"
"I've decided, I'm not going to finish middle school, I want to be an influencer!!"
"You damn... you little brat, you've really turned against the heavens!!"
Old Man Chen was truly furious this time, and he raised the sickle handle to beat this unfilial descendant!
Jiang Jin might not know that because of his appearance, the teenager's desire to become an influencer had become—even stronger!
A city top scorer still came back to his hometown to carry a hoe after graduation, so with his academic grades, what if he got into a vocational school? Think early and plan early; being an influencer is the true Righteous Path!
But if Jiang Jin knew, he would definitely give him a thumbs up and say: "Good lad, to grasp the true meaning of life at such a young age, I have high hopes for you!"
