This caused Li Sikai to collect another wave of faith points, making his face even paler, and he felt pain in every bone crevice.
No one knew he was suffering inhuman torture except himself.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looked at it for a long time and felt that this space, well, it didn't seem as advanced as their own. At least its upgrade wouldn't cause much discomfort to the space's owner.
The couple stared at the recurring black soil without the slightest impatience. They also wanted to know what this space would eventually become. Would anything special appear?
Unfortunately, half an hour later, even after the white fog had completely stopped, no new functional areas appeared. It was just an endless expanse of black soil.
"See this? This huge area behind me is the upgraded land. Isn't it vast, magnificent, and spectacular? Are you all wondering how we can possibly cultivate all this land?"
Haha, you don't need to worry about that. Our guards will handle this perfectly. Now, let me interview Hu Xueli, the captain of the guard team in charge of spatial cultivation.
Captain Hu, could you tell us about the growth cycle of space crops and your farming methods?
"Okay. Through the previous live stream, I believe everyone knows that the space can accelerate crop growth, typically completing the growth cycle within a month. After the upgrade, this cycle will be shortened, but how much shorter still requires further exploration. As for cultivation, we will adopt a combination of manual and machine cultivation. Please follow me..."
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't watch the rest. It was already very late, and they should wash up and go to bed.
"I wonder how Li Sikai is doing." Before going to sleep, Shen Yanming sighed.
Actually, Li Sikai wasn't in very good shape at this point. Peng Baoxin was incredibly helpful, collecting a huge amount of faith points for him.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but unfortunately, his physical condition couldn't keep up, and he couldn't handle it. Li Sikai felt like he was about to explode.
Even after the space upgrade was successful, he was still processing the massive amount of faith points. He was soaked through, as if he'd been in water.
Over there, Peng Baoxin was so hoarse from talking that he was almost speechless.
General Li gestured to him, and the young man quickly forced a smile: "It's getting late, everyone should go home and get some sleep. Happy New Year, I wish you all good food and drink, and all the best. That concludes today's live stream. See you next time!"
After saying that, he held his smile for two seconds. Hu Yisheng quickly cut off the live stream, and the two of them collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Five minutes later, they helped each other walk back. The space was now quite large, and it took them more than half an hour to reach Li Sikai.
"General, is Captain Li alright?" Peng Baoxin asked with concern.
General Li shook his head, feeling extremely tormented.
Without Li Sikai's permission, no one can enter or leave this space. Even if he wanted to take Li Sikai to see a doctor, he couldn't.
"Captain Li is a lucky man; he'll definitely be out of danger." Although the words of comfort weren't very effective, they still made General Li's expression improve considerably.
Everyone waited quietly in the space, without even whispering to each other.
They were filled with unease, wondering why Captain Li had suddenly fainted when upgrading was supposed to be a good thing.
Jiang Ji, however, knew he couldn't help and left. He had witnessed the upgrade process firsthand, and the shock he felt was indescribable.
Suddenly, I realized that the theory I had been researching was completely incompatible with this space. Even if it achieved spatial folding, it couldn't be expanded like it is now.
Everything here is like a spatial artifact from a cultivation novel. And his research direction is more like a spatial portal from a space novel.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it can serve a storage function.
We had agreed to have a meal together after the party. But now, no one was in the mood to eat. The staff were starving, but no one dared to say anything.
Li Zongmeng was so focused on Li Sikai that he forgot all about this. He just sat there blankly next to Li Sikai, not moving at all.
An hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, and Li Sikai still hadn't woken up.
Qiu Man's stomach rumbled, and only then did General Li come to his senses.
He forced a smile and said, "Go eat, I'm fine."
Qiu Man really wanted to say he wasn't hungry, but seeing everyone's expectant looks, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go cook."
Even if he doesn't eat, Chief Li has to eat, Captain Li has to eat, and everyone else has to eat too.
There was no shortage of food in the space, and everyone worked together to quickly prepare a meal.
Qiu Mansheng handed a bowl to General Li, but the man shook his head, saying, "I have no appetite."
“Even if you have no appetite, you still have to eat. Otherwise, if Xiao Kai wakes up and you're still collapsed, how heartbroken will he be? Besides, the space has already been successfully upgraded, it's only a matter of time before Captain Li wakes up!”
Upon hearing this, General Li looked up abruptly, as if asking, "How did you know?"
Qiu Man sighed, squatted down next to Chief Alliance Officer Li, and whispered, "Think about it, if Xiao Kai really had a problem, this space would either disappear, collapse, or change hands. But it's perfectly fine now, which means nothing's wrong. Xiao Kai not waking up is probably due to aftereffects, like the first time."
"But, it didn't happen the second time?"
"Cough, the second upgrade wasn't a big deal, we could have gotten through it quickly. But look at it now, it's practically endless. The space has increased to 100,000 mu, how could it not come at a price?" Qiu Man spouted nonsense. Little did he know, he was speaking the truth.
After thinking about it, General Li realized it made sense, and his heart immediately relaxed. He took the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat haphazardly.
After finishing eating, he wiped his mouth and asked Qiu Man, "Did you prepare soup? Xiao Kai can't go hungry."
Qiu Man nodded: "Yes, they're making chicken soup. Xiao Xin is watching over it, and he'll bring it over when it's ready. That kid is helpful and quite good."
"Hmm, he has a certain energy about him, that's good." After saying that, General Li stopped talking.
Qiu Man stayed for a while, then left.
He took over Peng Baoxin's job, told him to go eat, and watched the pot himself. An hour later, he poured the stewed chicken soup into a bowl. He jogged over to Chief Alliance Officer Li: "Boss, it's done. Let it cool a little before giving it to Xiao Kai. Here, have a spoon."
General Li nodded, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it to cool it down, and then fed it to Li Sikai.
Li Sikai didn't want to drink, but his body instinctively forced him to swallow. He felt like a useless piece of trash; he'd only leveled up four times and he couldn't even handle it.
After that, should we upgrade it again?
What if I explode and die when I level up to level five? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
But now, feeling the continuous flow of faith within him, he knew that he had no room for regret.
