Chapter 13: 13

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 .

9

[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 .

2

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]

9

[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 cucumbers 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 cucumbers .

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 passed .

“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 cucumbers, which numbered at 55 .

The second box held corn, which numbered at 82—Jiang He had been eating cucumbers 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!”

1

“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 .

1

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, “Damn 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 fashioned 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 passed, 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?”

2

Even as he spoke, he deliberately loosened his suit a little to reveal the pass he put in his shirt 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-class awakened with superstrength… a bottom-feeder amongst superhumans and the most-common type at that, and naturally less useful than Wang Siyu .

2

Nonetheless, the two men began to chatter away idly when Wang 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 Wang 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…” Wang 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?”
