Xu Ling's long eyelashes fluttered, and she stopped speaking.
Ruth was listening patiently when, unexpectedly, Xu Ling stopped talking the next second.
Ruth looked up at Xu Ling and saw her standing there, stunned, seemingly lost in thought.
However, this time, she quickly came to her senses.
"Huh, how did I get here?"
Xu Ling scratched her head and muttered to herself.
Shouldn't she be over in the farmland? How did she end up at the Tree of Life?
The idea flashed through her mind, and before she could ponder it, a voice in her heart answered her question.
Watering, you've come to water the tree of life.
The voice was androgynous and definitely not Xu Ling's!
Xu Ling, however, did not notice anything amiss; instead, she looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
Then, she used several Rain Transformation Techniques.
After finishing these tasks, she returned to the farmland without looking back to continue her farming endeavors.
Ruth naturally sensed Xu Ling's strangeness. She opened her mouth to remind Xu Ling, but found that she couldn't make a sound.
What's going on?!
Ruth felt a growing unease.
Seeing that she couldn't make a sound, Ruth decided to rush up to Xu Ling and remind her.
However, just as she was about to make a move, she found herself unable to leave the spot!
Ruth panicked. She tried to shout, but no sound came out. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't. It was as if something invisible was binding her to the spot.
She could only watch helplessly as Xu Ling finished everything without noticing, and then she turned and left.
Ruth felt a wave of despair. Clearly, an enemy had appeared beside her, and a powerful one at that. Otherwise, why hadn't Xu Ling and the others noticed?
Just as Ruth was pessimistically accepting reality, she heard a faint, ethereal voice.
[come over.]
Ruth was taken aback; the voice carried a certain warmth, which made her feel very favorably towards it.
[Come here, Ruth.]
Perhaps seeing that Ruth didn't move, the voice urged her on.
After that sound, Ruth seemed to be guided.
She flew toward the Tree of Life, getting closer and closer until she reached the red fruit.
Ruth stopped in front of the red fruit. She tilted her head, wondering if the fruit was calling her.
Before she could figure it out, the feeling of being guided returned.
Ruth reached out uncontrollably, slowly approaching the fruit, until her hand finally touched it.
Then, Ruth slowly closed her eyes.
Therefore, Ruth didn't see that inside the fruit, a handprint much larger than hers was also placed there.
Ruth held that position for a long time.
Ruth only regained consciousness after the handprint inside the fruit disappeared.
At this moment, Ruth was no longer filled with despair. She restrained her excitement, calmly bowed to the fruit, and then flapped her wings and flew away.
A breeze blew in from somewhere, and the leaves of the Tree of Life rustled, as if it were conversing with someone.
[You shouldn't do that, you'll scare Lingling!]
[I just wanted to see who Xu Ling was.]
One of the voices was furious, while the other voice was indifferent.
Hearing this answer, the one who was already furious became even more furious.
[You'll see her soon, why did you scare her?! If it weren't for me, she would have been terrified!]
[Okay, okay, I understand. I won't scare her anymore after this, don't worry.]
[Ah~ I'm going to stop talking now, I need to go back to sleep.]
Another gust of wind blew by, and the Tree of Life rustled once more before falling silent.
No one noticed anything unusual happening here.
When Xu Ling returned to the vicinity of the farmland, she felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Ling still couldn't remember, so she had to give up and start to seriously finish the work at hand.
Xu Ling has unlocked another mission today, no one knows what her luck is.
On the data screen, the familiar task interface began to flash.
Xu Ling immediately opened the task without hesitation.
Let's make something else!
Build a feed mill (to be completed)
System points: 5
Unlock new building: Cattle Farm (Note: It produces sweet and delicious milk, but don't try to harm the cows!)
If Xu Ling was somewhat uninterested when she saw the words "feed mill," her eyes lit up immediately when she looked down and saw that the newly unlocked building was a cattle farm.
milk!
This is just too amazing!
I never knew you could drink milk!
Xu Ling became excited; anything that wasn't available in the barren lands now made her happy.
Xu Ling was eager to get started; she wanted to take on this task right now.
Without hesitation, Xu Ling clicked the [Factory] button, and saw the feed mill icon appear after the bakery icon.
Xu Ling clicked without hesitation.
Name: Feed Mill
Grade: F
Function: It can process food into feed for farmed animals.
The delicious feed is irresistible!
Required points: 300
Xu Ling: ······
She couldn't take it anymore. Xu Ling rolled her eyes, utterly speechless.
Seriously? This price increase is outrageous!
Is this system constantly monitoring her?!
As soon as I see her points increase, I'll rip her off twice!
Xu Ling was furious, but there was nothing she could do about the system, so she had no choice but to accept her fate.
She tapped the screen twice in frustration, dragged out the feed mill, and casually placed it next to the bakery.
With a loud "boom," the feed mill was completed.
This time, the loud noise did not startle Thanos.
At that moment, Thanos was still drooling over the hens by the henhouse when he heard the loud noise. He merely twitched his ears and then looked over with curiosity.
Thanos is now indifferent to these loud noises and has become accustomed to them.
Speaking of this, we have to thank reliable courage training.
At Fei'er's request, Kaopu readily agreed to help.
Of course, this courage training was reliably scheduled for the night, because it was thought to increase the sense of horror.
So, from that day on, every night, Thanos was subjected to reliable threats, at unpredictable times and on unpredictable occasions.
At first, Thanos couldn't sleep all night long, and if he couldn't sleep, no one else could either.
As for the reason, it's because after Thanos was frightened, he would wail and howl, and basically, he could howl all night long.
For Kaopu and Xu Ling, it had no impact on them.
However, for Fierce and Rose, the impact was enormous.
