Chapter 18 The Eighteenth Day of Creating the "Stealing Vegetables" Game

As an important part of the "stealing vegetables" gameplay, the guardian beast's growth is also inseparable from stealing vegetables.

"Reward for completing the first vegetable steal: [Spirit Beast Feed*5]".

"Each time you steal crops, you may get [Spirit Beast Feed]. Feeding it multiple times can shorten the growth time of your guardian beast. Adults can explore other tips and tricks on their own in the game."

The little ginseng left these words behind, then burrowed into the ground and disappeared. Only Tongtian and the little red fox remained, staring at each other in bewilderment. At this moment, Xinyue Fox finally remembered her hunger and pointed to her belly, whimpering incessantly.

Who could bear to let such an adorable little fox go hungry! Tongtian immediately wanted to take the little fox to steal some vegetables, but all he saw was a cold, indifferent sentence:

The "steal crops" gameplay requires planting more than 30 plants on your farm to unlock. Farmer, please keep planting!

The so-called "stealing vegetables" is of course mutual. If you want to go out and steal vegetables, you must leave enough vegetables in the farm for others to steal.

Tongtian looked at the fox that was so close yet insurmountable, perched at the cave entrance, holding a pitiful little fox in his hand.

It's just growing vegetables, I'll grow them, why threaten me with something so fuzzy?

This game is so cruel.

…………

Three days later, when Tongtian silently emerged from the vegetable-stealing hole, even with a huge bundle on his back, no one could bend his sword-like spine.

At this moment, the words "Nameless Swordsman" at the top of the vegetable-stealing leaderboard shine even brighter.

Upon Tongtian's return, the little fox, now a size larger, surrounded its master with the [Fangri Rabbit] and [Winged Fire Serpent] that had hatched from the spirit beast eggs in the past few days, rubbing against him affectionately.

Tongtian was quite pleased with this, feeding all the cubs he had hatched the same food, though his hand would linger a little longer on the little fox and the little rabbit.

Furry cubs are easier to pet.

Tongtian put all the stolen herbs into the storeroom and discovered that the little fox had caught several vegetable thieves during his trip.

He was too lazy to punish these people, so he simply built a few small houses out of thin air, locked them up inside, and told them they could leave when their time was up.

"Little Red is really amazing, no wonder it's my guardian beast." Tongtian named the little fox Little Red and gently stroked its back.

The little fox was full of pride; after all, it was no ordinary fox.

It's a three-star, max-level fox. The player is very willing to spend money on the Spirit Beast, not only buying Spirit Beast eggs and opening blind boxes every day, but also clearing out all the decorations and feed related to the Spirit Beast from the room.

However, Tongtian's luck was neither good nor bad, as he successively obtained several [Heart Moon Foxes], greatly increasing the little fox's combat power.

Although Tongtian only wanted to pet more cubs, he would allow it if the little fox was happy.

Anyway, according to Little Ginseng, there are only 28 kinds of spirit beasts in the game, and even if you can only open two eggs a day, you can collect them all in no time.

Tongtian successfully increased Xiaorenshen's favorability by spending a lot of money, thus gaining many additional opportunities to spend money.

For example: "Honey, the convenient game formation is now available! You can purchase it offline using your spiritual power. Just send it to your friends and family, and you can enjoy the same game even if you're miles apart and still chat!"

"No 998, no 9998, just 99999 spirit stones, and you can take the portable game formation home~ My dear nameless swordsman, don't you really want one?"

This is a travel game that Yuan Yi deliberately created to meet the communication needs of his brother and Hongyun. Although it consumes much more spiritual energy than ordinary formations, as long as the same formation is set up in reality, friends can be added and chatted through the game interface.

Aside from plucking some leaves from Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree, the rest of the formation was a copy and paste of the original formation by Yuan Yi.

Most of the finished products were sent by the elder brother to his friends, while only a small portion was left for the little ginseng to handle himself.

Little Ginseng then came up with the idea of ​​selling online, looking for a sucker in the game for a sure-fire way to make a profit, with no deception of the young or old. Tong.Sucker.Tian readily agreed: "Give me two."

He wanted to get one of these good things for each of his two older brothers, and then they would sweep Yuanshi's vegetable garden clean.

The little ginseng was overjoyed. He had earned so much spiritual power that it was enough to run an array once, and since it was an online transaction, it was all his own.

After Tongtian sent the two formations back to Kunlun, he couldn't resist walking to the entrance of the vegetable-stealing area again.

I just bought two spirit beast eggs and they are hatching. I only have 10 portions of feed left from the random drops of the Heavenly Stealing Vegetables.

How could ten portions possibly fill the belly of his own cub? He couldn't possibly put the cub in a warehouse and freeze it, as the little ginseng suggested.

So we still have to steal vegetables! For the sake of our cubs' food, and for the glory of being number one on the vegetable-stealing leaderboard.

Tongtian had no idea what he would face this time when he stole vegetables.

The fiery lava scorched the ground, iron chains stretched out from all directions on the walls, and rocks kept falling from above.

Tongtian could only dodge around with his fragile body, and then he saw his health bar in the status bar constantly decreasing by -1 -1 -1 due to [burns] and [abrasions].

How did things get to this point? The lava near the wall, away from the center, had entangled the chains together, and the countdown in the distance indicated that they could leave as soon as they could hold out for another hour.

At that time, Tongtian would randomly select a farm to steal vegetables, and each time he picked mature spiritual plants from other farms, he would get 10% of their harvest.

However, when stealing vegetables, his body and speed are adjusted to those of an ordinary person, so he has to carefully avoid the farm's guardian beast. Even if the guardian beast is a cute, fluffy creature called Tongtian, he can only reluctantly give up.

Then I comforted myself, thinking that I would be able to breed such adorable cubs someday.

Damn it, why do I keep getting the same little foxes? He wants more fluffy cubs too! Tiger cubs would be nice, lambs are cute, and even leopard cubs have adorable paws.

Tongtian had no idea that there was some shady dealing involved that increased the probability of hatching the first type of cub. He was only focused on opening spirit beast eggs and getting new fluffy creatures.

So when a tiger tail grass that has sprouted from the ground shows signs of maturity, one might wonder why this tiger tail grass is seven-colored.

But considering it was likely a legendary mutated species, extremely difficult to obtain, I eagerly reached out and touched it. The texture was exactly the same as a real tiger's, completely soft and warm.

Wait, exactly the same? Tongtian's smile froze on his face. He looked down and found that it really was a [Tail Fire Tiger] cub.

Somehow, it completely buried itself in the soil, leaving only its tail hidden in the tiger tail grass, deliberately emitting an eye-catching seven-colored light effect. The Inducer is a rare mutated species.

When Tongtian touched its tail, the little tiger already displayed a mocking smile, quite human-like. Then, according to the game rules, Tongtian was judged to be [captured by a four-star guardian beast while stealing crops and must accept punishment from the farm owner].

The next second he was teleported to this godforsaken place, where scorching lava, randomly appearing blades and arrows, chains that bound him like vines, random traps, falling rocks from the mountain, and huge rolling boulders that would chase him.

These tricks and contraptions were child's play to Tongtian, who moved through them with ease, thanks to his skillful escape techniques and agile movements.

However, the game's stats didn't see it that way. Although it perfectly dodged all the damage, the scorching lava environment still caused its health bar to drop continuously.

If the health bar reaches zero, a portion of equipment will be randomly dropped from the game inventory and given to the owner of this farm.

How could there be such a disgusting confinement device? Didn't Little Ginseng say this game was just a normal farming game? Who uses torture to farm?

Outside the prison, a group of tigers were praising their leader.

"As expected of our leader, he is wise and powerful. He came up with such a good idea to catch that vegetable thief."

"The top vegetable thief is nothing special. As long as the leader takes action, catching him will be a piece of cake."

"Thank you, Chief, for catching this little thief who stole our vegetables. You've really given our Tiger Clan a good beating. This kid has been stealing who knows how many plots of land we've been on lately."

A group of tigers, armed with sharp weapons, surrounded the cell door. The tallest of them, the leader, was full of confidence: "I've arranged plenty of torture in this cell. Even if this kid doesn't die, he'll be half-skinned. We'll wait here and take everything out of his bag."

And so, once again, the cries of "Your Majesty is wise!" and "As expected of Your Majesty!" rose and fell.

As Tongtian counted the seconds and compared them with his health bar, he walked out of the prison cell at exactly the last second, with only a sliver of health left.

What came into view were more than a dozen powerful and majestic tigers standing upright, sharpening their teeth and baring their claws, looking ready to pounce at any moment.

It looks rather familiar. Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

What a coincidence, the tiger opposite was thinking the same thing. Look at that white robe, that black hair, that carefree and unrestrained demeanor, that handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, the more you look at him, the more he resembles that distinguished guest who, just a few days ago, intimidated the entire tiger clan with his mere presence.

Hahaha, how could the vegetable thief they caught be a guest they couldn't afford to offend? They must have mistaken him for someone else. The tiger outside the cell tried to hypnotize itself.

The tiger clan leader immediately apologized, saying, "I was unaware of your presence; I have offended you greatly." At this moment, the tiger clan absolutely could not mention the specially arranged prison or the elaborate scheme prepared specifically for the top scorer.

After all, this big shot still lives in his own clan's territory, providing a lot of spiritual energy for the tiger clan's transformation.

Stealing some vegetables for fun is nothing. If he had known it was this distinguished guest, he would have definitely had the whole clan remove the guardian beast so he could have some fun.

Hopefully, I won't offend the big shot this time. If I can back down, I should do so quickly and beg for forgiveness.

The other dozen or so tigers were also pretending to be nonchalant, acting as if they were wild tigers who knew nothing, scratching their paws and licking their fur as they pleased.

Tongtian immediately figured out the whole story. It turned out that these seemingly reckless tigers actually had such cunning.

Fortunately, Tongtian wasn't a petty person; he got caught stealing vegetables because he was careless and lacked skill.

So Tongtian found an excuse to touch the [Tail Fire Tiger] cub from head to tail, from nose to tail tip, including its little paws, and even asked about how to find Little Ginseng to buy the Seven-Colored Skin for the guardian beast.

Finally, he left satisfied and at ease.

The remaining group escaped unscathed, and the tiger wiped the sweat from his brow. How could he have gone looking for trouble with someone he couldn't afford to offend? Thankfully, this distinguished guest had let the matter rest.

Tongtian, who had let them go, was not in a good mood, because his horse was coming.

When he returned to the farm, the newly hatched Star Sun Horse from the spirit beast egg enthusiastically sped up to greet him, bumping into its master's chest.

In the past, this would have been just a small prank, but at this moment, Tongtian, who only had one drop of blood left, was unfortunately taken away by this small impact.

The boy in white fell straight to the ground, watching in disbelief as his body turned into smoke, the spiritual plants stored in his bag falling to the ground. Beside him, the oblivious pony searched for its master, then began chewing on spiritual fruit.

Tongtian didn't know whether to be angry or amused. Oh well, at least he landed on his own farm.
