The little fairy was different today. Xu Ling glanced at her and noticed that Ruth seemed to have grown a little taller than yesterday, and her elytra were also much bigger than yesterday.

Xu Ling rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head: "Ruth, haven't you grown up a bit?"

At least if she meets someone reliable and chats with Ruth again today, she won't ignore Ruth as easily as she did yesterday.

The reliable one has also flown out, and it's still the same as before.

The white cloud circled the little fairy once, moving so fast that it stirred up a small gust of wind, catching Lu completely off guard. She was carried away by the wind and flew off to one side.

After observing him, Kaopu nodded: "You've indeed grown a bit. It seems the plant essence produced by the Tree of Life is quite effective for you!"

Ruth, who had been blown askew by the wind, flapped her elytra and flew back. There was no anger on her face, but she replied with a smile, "Yes, Master, the plant essence is very effective for Ruth. Ruth feels that she can grow even bigger!"

Of course, she had a feeling that her skills would also improve significantly.

Speaking of plant essences, Ruth thought of the Tree of Life, and she suggested, "Master, shall we go see the Mother Tree?"

For Ruth, the Tree of Life was the mother who gave them everything, so they all called it the Mother Tree.

"The mother tree?"

Could it be that a new tree has been planted here?

Xu Ling was a little unsure, but fortunately, Kaopu was quite knowledgeable about the little fairies and other such races, so he explained to Xu Ling, "The mother tree she mentioned is the Tree of Life."

Xu Ling suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Since there was nothing else to do, Xu Ling decided to go and check on the saplings.

The sapling didn't speak at this time, so it's unclear whether it was sleeping.

However, Xu Ling's gaze went from bottom to top.

If yesterday Xu Ling had to squat to be the same height as the sapling, now she can be almost as tall as the sapling just by standing!

I never expected them to grow so fast!

Xu Ling exclaimed in amazement, "That's incredible progress!"

And the trunk has grown several sizes bigger! It no longer looks so thin and weak.

I have a feeling that it won't be long before it becomes so dense that it blocks out the sky!

With high hopes, Xu Ling performed the Rain Transformation Technique several times, bringing rain to the saplings.

Even though the sapling didn't speak, it instinctively swayed its green leaves, as if to express its gratitude to Xu Ling.

After inspecting the saplings, Xu Ling took the opportunity to look at the surrounding soil.

Sure enough, as the sapling grew, the area it could influence also expanded outwards.

Having just planted wheat based on conditioned reflexes, Xu Ling now carefully observes the soil around the farmland and discovers that when the first plot of farmland was planted yesterday, it was located at the boundary between good and bad soil quality. The farmland was surrounded by moist soil with a few small grasses growing on it.

Xu Ling nodded in satisfaction.

Since the scope of soil improvement had been expanded so much, Kaopu began to frantically urge Xu Ling to get the work done faster.

"At least other people work hard for three days and then take a break for two. You've only been working for one day. Today is just the beginning. Hurry up and get to work. Don't even think about slacking off!"

Almost getting angry at being told she was reliable, Xu Ling retorted.

"Which eye of yours saw me slacking off? The first thing I did every morning was to harvest the wheat in the field and then plant another crop. You're slandering me!"

The reliable woman, who didn't think she had said anything wrong at all, stood with her hands on her hips, nose in the air, and replied, "I saw it with both eyes!"

As she spoke, she pointed to her two beady eyes with her little finger, looking at Xu Ling with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"I'm telling you, you should try harder! How many points do you have now? And how much work do you still have to do!"

Besides, you're a deity! Even humans get hungry sometimes, so what's wrong with you going hungry for ten days or half a month?

Get to work! You said you could work yourself to death, but right now, I doubt you'd be a couch potato forever!

Even with the little devil around, Kaopu didn't care about showing Xu Ling any mercy and gave her a thorough dressing-down.

Xu Ling blushed immediately. Although she said that people could work hard, they still needed to get enough rest!

And what do you mean by "it doesn't matter if I go hungry for ten days or half a month"? Even if she doesn't need it, she still needs to sweeten her mouth!

However, Xu Ling only dared to refute it in her mind one more time, but in practice, she was suppressed by the reliable person and began to obediently plant her wheat.

One-click harvest, one-click planting, then another one-click harvest, then another one-click planting...

The repetitive, mindless operation over and over again for several hours left Xu Ling so bored that she kept yawning.

I feel a little sleepy.

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Xu Ling found herself even sleepier. She quickly shook her head and patted her cheeks to try and wake herself up.

Before she knew it, she had accumulated 1100 points by planting wheat!

Looking at the points displayed on the screen, Xu Ling uttered that profound statement: "It's really good!"

Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen, blocking Xu Ling's view. She then opened the message.

[A bumper harvest! A bumper harvest! You've accumulated so much wheat, wouldn't you like to get some even more delicious food? Click here to see the newly triggered quests.]

Xu Ling tapped the screen, and it jumped to the task interface.

There's too much wheat! We need delicious food!

Build a bakery (to be completed)

System points: 5

Unlock new crop: Corn (Note: Sweet and fragrant corn, much easier to grow than wheat!)

The task passed by in a flash, and before Xu Ling could even think about it, the information about the bakery popped up on the screen.

Name: Bakery

Grade: F

Function: It can process food into more delicious bread that is fragrant and tasty!

Everyone loves delicious bread.

Required points: 100

Xu Ling: ? ? ?

"Why does the bakery require so many points?"

She let out a soul-stirring cry, equivalent to five times the volume of a granary, but why?

“A granary just stores grain; it can’t do much else. A bakery not only processes it but also makes it into food, so the price is naturally different,” the reliable person explained. “Besides, this price isn’t expensive, considering that a bakery does much more than a granary!”

For some reason, the more he explained to Xu Ling, the angrier he became.

It found itself becoming increasingly impatient with Xu Ling, and it didn't know why. Logically speaking, the mood simulated by the system shouldn't remain in one state for so long.

Kaopu felt a little strange, but after calming his still somewhat agitated emotions, he emphasized again in a straightforward manner: "Host, these are all fair prices. You really won't lose money investing here!"

If Kaopu were still speaking in that disappointed tone, Xu Ling would probably still have a rebellious mentality and want to go against him. However, when Kaopu suddenly spoke in this emotionless way, she became a little flustered.

"Reliable, are you angry?"

"No, host. I'm just suggesting that you build a bakery."

Reliability still retains that unemotional tone.

Xu Ling felt upset. She knew that she was being a bit dramatic in front of Kaopu, acting like a child and being very emotional.
