When the two elders of the Wu family heard the news, they also believed that it was the Chen family ancestor who had bestowed a treasure upon the baby, after all, their three grandsons had kowtowed to the Chen family ancestor many times.
Chen Xiaohua told her parents about the good news with Xiaobao, and Zhou and the others were overjoyed.
Old Man Chen said excitedly, "Quickly, clear out a mule cart, bring in the ancestral tablets, and Xiao Bao will come in with me to perform the ritual."
After the ancestral tablets of the Chen family were brought inside, Chen Kai and the others rushed in to grab a spot. The mule cart couldn't hold that many people, and if they didn't grab a spot early, they wouldn't be able to see anything.
I don't know where his father got this whole bunch of supernatural theories about ancestors manifesting, bestowing, and enlightening spirits.
The concept of "manifestation" is the broadest, attributing anything beneficial to them or any inexplicable supernatural event to the manifestation of their ancestors.
"Bestowing spirits" means that our ancestors bestow treasures upon us.
The term "Qiling" is a recent explanation his father came up with. It's said that since their ancestors have shown them such great kindness, everyone should be grateful, have a heart of gratitude, and have faith.
To express their gratitude to their ancestors, those who receive treasures bestowed by them must kowtow three times before opening the treasure. According to the system, this is called "activating the system," or "spirit awakening."
Inside the carriage, after Xiao Bao kowtowed three times to the Zhou family patriarch, Old Man Chen said, "Xiao Bao, repeat the voice in your head again."
Xiao Bao: "Host successfully locked, farm system successfully bound. Would you like to activate it?"
Everyone except Chen Kai and Xiao Tian: A farm? A place to grow things? That's a real treasure!
Old Man Chen said, "Then let's activate the spirit."
Xiao Bao: "Start!"
Farm System: "Congratulations, host, on successfully activating the farm system. You have received a newbie gift pack and a soil pit as a reward."
"Would you like to enable the Farm Assistant feature? If you have any questions, the Farm Assistant can answer them for you."
After Xiao Bao repeated what he said, Chen Kai was dumbfounded.
A farm system? You gave it to Xiaobao? Are you kidding me? Xiaobao is such a little kid, he can't even grow things?
If it's a system that requires manual planting and harvesting, they doubt that Xiaobao could even grow a single blade of grass.
Old Man Chen was very experienced. "Xiao Bao, turn on that little assistant first."
Chen Nong said happily, "Xiao Bao, you can change your name. Change your name."
Xiao Bao happily said, "Let's begin! I love candied hawthorns, so from now on you'll be called Candied Hawthorns."
Zhou said excitedly, "Xiao Bao, ask if you can grow things on candied hawthorns?"
When Xiao Bao asked, the system replied: "Yes, host, Tanghulu is a farm system where you can grow various crops. After reaching level 3, you can freely enter and leave the farm. After reaching level 6, you can unlock the breeding mode and raise various animals."
After hearing what Xiao Bao relayed, everyone was extremely excited. Being able to grow all kinds of crops and raise all kinds of animals meant that they would no longer lack food and water, that they could settle down and no longer have to flee famine, and that they could live a good life.
Chen Xiaohua said excitedly, "Son, ask him how to grow things for candied hawthorns, and quickly plant some to eat."
Xiao Bao asked curiously, "Candied hawthorn, how do I grow things?"
The system opened a panel with a small image of a pit, displaying the following:
Level: 0
Land: 0
Energy Points: 0
Backpack: 0
Warehouse: 0
Crop Atlas: 0
Animal Encyclopedia: Not yet unlocked.
Shop: Not open
System: "The host can manually plant crops in the pit. There are no seeds in the backpack right now. The host can open the newbie gift pack to see if there are any seeds inside."
Seeing that no one seemed to be able to see the panel, Xiao Bao asked curiously, "Can't my grandpa and the others see this strange thing? Can you let them hear your voice too?"
System: "Host, this function is not available. They cannot see it, and I cannot communicate with anyone other than the host."
Xiao Bao: "Okay then, can you open the newbie gift pack for me and take a look?"
System: "The newbie gift pack has been opened. Congratulations on receiving 3 grass seeds."
Xiao Bao frowned and asked, "Isn't pasture grass the grass that donkeys eat?"
System: "Yes, the hay produced by the system is very nutritious, contains a variety of benefits, and is very suitable for livestock to eat."
Xiao Bao said, both amused and exasperated, "But I want to grow food! I'm so hungry, we're all starving!"
System: "The host can first plant pasture grass, and then use the energy points to buy the crop seeds you want from the store to plant."
Each harvested hay can be exchanged for 3 seeds, or left in the warehouse. When you accumulate 100 hay, you can exchange them for one energy point.
Energy points can be used to buy things in the shop, or exchanged for soil pits to obtain more soil pits.
One pit requires one hundred energy points to exchange.
Sixty-four pits will form a piece of land.
Currently, upgrading a farm to level 1 only requires 10 plots of land.
Xiao Bao said blankly, "Candied hawthorn, say it slowly, say it again, I didn't understand."
It feels so complicated~
The candied hawthorn berry was told again, but Xiao Bao's little brain still didn't understand. Farming is so complicated!
Finally, Xiao Bao asked Tanghulu to say a sentence, and he repeated it after her, explaining the situation to everyone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to remember so many words.
After listening, everyone roughly understood.
Chen Xiaohua sighed, "It's just a small pit. What can you grow in such a small area? Besides, it takes time for plants to grow. Even if we have edible seeds, we'll starve to death by the time the crops mature."
Old Man Chen said, "The treasure bestowed by our ancestor must be more than that."
Zhou said, "Xiao Bao, ask if we can put things in that backpack storage compartment." It would be great if it were like Chen Nong's steamed buns.
Xiao Bao: "Candied hawthorn, can I put things in the backpack storage?"
System: "The backpack/warehouse can only hold items from the system."
Xiao Bao sighed, "It says it can only store things from the system."
The second son's wife said, "Xiao Bao, ask it if we can take the seeds in and plant them."
Being able to farm is such a great thing.
When Xiao Bao asked, the system replied, "Yes, but it depends on the type of seed. You need to exchange a certain amount of energy points to plant it. Moreover, the crops harvested from seeds grown outside are unlikely to yield any energy points."
After listening to Xiaobao's explanation, everyone realized that they would need to plant pasture to obtain energy points first.
Old Man Wu comforted everyone, saying, "It's good that we can grow pasture grass. We don't know what kind of pasture grass it is, but maybe we can eat its roots."
The two elders of the Wu family were very satisfied. Xiao Bao was already very lucky to have such a wonderful treasure. This treasure was truly amazing; it could grow things and raise animals.
