"Bye now."
Early in the morning, Jiang Mu quietly tidied up the room, opened the door, and planned to leave quietly.
"Qiqi?"
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the little guy who was guarding the door.
"for you."
Qiqi handed Jiang Mu a bottle of coconut milk.
"Coconut milk, it's delicious. Please remember Qiqi."
"Okay." Jiang Mu took it and carefully put it away. He squatted down, looked Qi Qi at eye level, and patted her head.
“I will come back to see you when I have the chance. Also, if you have time, I will stay at Qingce Manor. You are welcome to visit anytime.”
"Qiqi, I've got it."
"Alright then." Jiang Mu smiled, stood up, and said.
"Then I'm leaving, goodbye."
"goodbye……"
Qiqi shook her head.
Jiang Mu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, while Qi Qi stood in front of Bubu Lu, gazing into the distance...
After a long time...
"One, two, three, four, seven, seven, seven, seven..."
………………
That's roughly it...
"Hello, I'm here to process the land transfer."
Upon arriving at the General Affairs Office, Jiang Mu handed over the prepared materials to the staff.
"Hello, I am Xiao Zhao, a clerk from the General Affairs Department. Please show me your identification."
"Give."
Jiang Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of joy.
Fortunately, I had already obtained my identity certificate from the system in advance.
"The formalities have been completed. You just need to go to Qingcezhuang to confirm it," Xiao Zhao reminded Jiang Mu as she handed the land ownership certificate back to him.
Thank you.
After Jiang Mu took the materials, he walked towards the door.
"They're unfamiliar faces. Should we report this to Lady Keqing...?"
Xiao Zhao murmured.
"Forget it, there's no need to trouble Lord Yuheng with such a trivial matter."
He immediately shook his head.
"It seems he's not the holder of the Eye of God either, so he won't cause any trouble."
…………………
"Brother Jiang Mu!"
As soon as Jiang Mu stepped out of the General Affairs Department, he heard Xiang Ling's voice.
"Oh, it's Xiangling."
Jiang Mu also waved.
"My dad said I should come with you to see my house... no, I should say your land."
Xiangling chuckled.
"OK."
Hearing this, Jiang Mu nodded. It was perfect; having someone who knew the way with him would prevent him from getting lost.
Jiang Mu would never admit that he had a terrible sense of direction!
snort!
"Thank you for your help."
"No problem." Xiangling waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and stammered.
"Brother Jiang Mu, what you said yesterday..."
"yesterday?"
Jiang Mu thought for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"I'm really impressed with you. Okay, once things are almost done, I'll treat you to something to eat. Hmm, I'll cook it myself."
"Yay!"
"It's good that it's banned!"
"Ugh... Brother Jiang Mu is bullying me!"
"Ha ha……"
………………………
"It's right here."
Standing atop the mountain, Xiangling wiped the sweat from her brow and introduced the place with a smile.
"Take a rest." Jiang Mu felt a pang of sympathy seeing the girl panting heavily.
To protect him, this "ordinary person without the Eye of God," the two of them chose to take detours along the way, mostly through secluded paths. When they encountered monsters such as Hilichurls and Witcherflower, Xiangling would go to meet them alone, carrying her spear.
This naturally exhausted the little girl.
"No need," Xiangling said with a smile.
"Perfect timing! We've just received a lot of ingredients, so now we can try out some new dishes!"
Xiangling's smile seemed genuine.
"New dishes?"
Jiang Mu immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
As everyone knows, Xiangling's new dish...
"Don't worry." Xiangling said with a smile when she saw Jiang Mu's expression.
"I won't give any new dishes to others until I'm sure there are no problems."
"That's good..." Jiang Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, when you launch your new dish, you must try it!"
"real!"
Upon hearing this, Xiangling was extremely excited.
In the past, whenever they heard that they had to help her taste dishes, whether it was Xingqiu or Chongyun, they would run far away...
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Mu!"
"It's nothing..." Jiang Mu looked into the distance and said after a long while.
"We've rested enough, let's continue..."
"good!"
Thinking of the delicious food Jiang Mu had promised, Xiangling secretly swallowed.
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
"Lulu lulu~"
Guoba agreed from the side.
And so, the two embarked on another long journey...
"arrive!"
Xiangling said excitedly.
"These are... terraced fields?"
Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Jiang Mu was still shocked despite having anticipated it.
"What man can create, man can't know."
It is thanks to the hard work of countless ancestors that such a magnificent achievement was created on this mountain cliff.
The spring water flowing down from the mountain irrigates the terraced fields, then converges into gurgling streams that flow into the distance.
"That's really... a bit of a pity."
Jiang Mu sighed.
It wasn't just because of the system's task requirements; just looking at the land in front of me, a feeling of heartache welled up in my heart.
The once fertile land is now overgrown with weeds, with only a few scattered blue lilies among them. The only thing that adds a bit of life is the few wild boars running around in the fields.
"Hey, that's...?"
Jiang Mu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the familiar figures in the distance…
"As expected, just like in the game, there are slimes here..."
"Brother Jiang Mu, should we eliminate them?"
Following Jiang Mu's gaze, Xiang Ling also noticed the presence of those large slimes and eagerly asked.
"No."
Jiang Mu shook his head.
“I have a better idea.”
"system."
"Damn it, you big idiot host! I already told you to call me System-chan!"
"Okay, System. I..."
"I won't listen! Master is an idiot! A blockhead! A light novel protagonist!"
"Oh, my lovely and generous System-chan."
"Host Sama, what are your orders?"
Sure enough, their own system is so easy to fool...
“I have a question,” Jiang Mu said slowly. “Is there any way to tame these slimes?”
Yes, there are!
The system responded immediately.
"Host, you have already unlocked the system shop. In the beginner section, there is an item called Beast Taming Potion. It can meet your needs."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu immediately opened the system shop, and sure enough, there was a product called "Beast Taming Potion" quietly displayed there.
Then I looked at the price...
Mora.
"I feel like there's something fishy about this price..."
Jiang Mu, his face dark, ignored the system's usual erratic behavior and made the purchase directly.
How do I use this?
"Simply apply a small amount directly to the slime."
"I see..." Jiang Mu thought for a while, then brought his mind back to reality.
"Xiangling, do me a favor."
"What kind of help?"
"Lure those slimes over here."
"Lure them over?" Xiangling glanced at Jiang Mu and asked hesitantly.
“Brother Jiang Mu, although slimes are low-level monsters, but with your…”
That's a very tactful way of putting it... but...
"I'm confident, don't worry!"
Jiang Mu gave Xiang Ling a reassuring look.
"All right."
Xiangling had no choice but to nod and head straight for the pile of giant rock slimes.
"Let me see Master's marksmanship!"
A little while later...
"Help! The food is hitting me!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Mu covered his face.
This is the Xiangling he knows...
