Luo Xinglan picked up the stone that emitted a faint glow, and a message automatically popped up:
[Spirit Stone: A stone that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. Its uses, acquisition methods, and usage methods are unknown.]
If everything is unknown, then what's the point of your introduction?
Luo Xinglan, speechless, put away the spirit stones and continued opening the gold chests.
Please, I really need to get some equipment materials!
Luo Xinglan took a deep breath and opened the last two gold chests, obtaining [Tianbao x1], [Dibei x1], [Beginner Exploration Card - Desert x1], [Fishing Rod Upgrade Card x1], [Leg Armor - Excellent Blueprint x1], [Hand Crossbow - Excellent Blueprint x1], and [Pet Evolution Pill x1].
Tianbao and Dibei?
I really don't know whether to say she's lucky or unlucky.
Good news, we've received the materials and equipment.
The bad news is about Tianbao and Dibei.
Currently, the only blueprint she has that uses both Heavenly Treasure and Earthly Shell materials is the [Epic Meteor Hammer Blueprint], which requires ten each of Sun Essence, Moon Essence, Heavenly Treasure, and Earthly Shell.
Ten!
Isn't this just a drop in the ocean?
But having something is better than nothing.
Luo Xinglan used the fishing rod upgrade card, increasing the probability of catching a silver chest to 20%.
Just as she was preparing to put the remaining items into the box, she suddenly discovered the Pet Evolution Pill.
She remembered that when she completed Uncle Liu's dungeon quest, she was also rewarded with a pet evolution pill, and due to triggering an "unexpected surprise," she received an extra one.
So, she now has three pet evolution pills, but she doesn't know exactly how to use them. She takes them out of the box and checks the information.
[Pet Evolution Pill: For pets only; allows pets to learn new skills.]
Luo Xinglan frowned.
How can you help your pet understand something? What will it understand?
She waved for the little mouse to come over, and the little mouse excitedly ran over, blinking its big eyes and asking, "Is it time for dinner, sister?"
Luo Xinglan: "..."
This little foodie!
She looked at the little mouse and said, "Mouse, I have an evolution pill here, do you want to eat it?"
The little mouse's eyes lit up, and without thinking, it nodded: "I want to eat! I want to eat!" Then it opened its little mouth, waiting for Luo Xinglan to feed it.
Luo Xinglan held the evolution pill to its mouth, when suddenly a notification sound rang out:
[Evolution Pills cannot be used on this creature! Please use them with caution!]
Luo Xinglan was startled and quickly withdrew her hand.
The little mouse was getting impatient. It pointed to its mouth, its meaning clear: "Sister, I want to eat!"
Why aren't you feeding it again?
Luo Xinglan hesitated. It wasn't because she was reluctant to feed it to the little ear mouse, but because the system had warned her that the little ear mouse couldn't be used. Would feeding it cause any side effects?
Forget it, let's listen to the system and be cautious. Better safe than sorry, we can't gamble with the health of our little mouse.
She quickly replaced the pet evolution pill with the frog's salted peanuts and fed them to the little ear mouse. The little ear mouse immediately began to chew: "So delicious... Hmm, strange, why does this taste a little familiar? Not sure, let me try it again..."
Feeling a little guilty, Luo Xinglan secretly put the pet evolution pill into the box when the little ear mouse wasn't looking.
I don't know why the little ear mouse can't be used. Is it because it's not her pet?
Or maybe we should wait for the baby frog to come back and give it a try.
After packing her things, Luo Xinglan went to the greenhouse to check if there were any crops ready to be harvested. As expected, many crops had missed their ripening period and withered.
Sigh, if only someone could watch over these crops for her 24 hours a day.
However, Luo Xinglan was quickly startled by the thought that suddenly popped into her head. How could she have such an idea? Who could stay here 24 hours a day without eating or sleeping?
Shaking her head, she began picking the ripe crops.
This time, in addition to jujubes and cucumbers, we also harvested watermelons, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, soybeans, corn, wheat, and rice.
Watermelons, tomatoes, and corn were relatively easy to harvest, but potatoes, soybeans, wheat, and rice were a different story. Potatoes required digging with a hoe to pull them out of the soil, while harvesting soybeans, wheat, and rice was much more difficult. She first made a sickle and harvested them by hand, bundle by bundle.
Fortunately, there weren't many soybeans, rice, and wheat planted there, only a few square meters, otherwise her back would have been ruined today.
This time, all the excitement from the morning was gone, leaving only exhaustion.
She couldn't even imagine how farmers harvested wheat and rice without combine harvesters.
It was only at this moment that she truly understood the meaning of "every grain is hard-earned".
After harvesting the crops, she was so tired that she didn't want to move a single finger. She had only thought about experiencing the joy of farming and the harvest, but she didn't expect that farming would be so tiring.
She originally had grand ambitions to cultivate tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but reality taught her a lesson so quickly.
It seems the farming plan will have to be put on hold for now.
The crops in the game have their own growth cycle, mature quickly, and not all at the same time. Today alone, she harvested twice. If she has to work this hard every day, she won't have anything else to do.
More importantly, soybeans, wheat, and rice cannot be eaten immediately after harvesting; they must be hulled!
Wheat, in particular, must be ground into flour after being hulled before it can be eaten!
The thought of the complicated procedures ahead made Luo Xinglan feel even more tired.
She quickly sowed the seeds, put all the vegetables into her backpack, and then left the greenhouse and returned to the living room.
I was so tired that I just grabbed a few bites for dinner.
After dinner, Luo Xinglan lay on the sofa, feeling drowsy, but the thought of what she would face tomorrow instantly woke her up, and she soon began to doze off again.
I would fall asleep for a while, then wake up startled, repeating this several times, until finally I heard that familiar voice:
Hello survivors! After a day of rest, I'm sure you're all ready to face the challenges ahead!
[Actually, it's not really a challenge. After all, I was worried you'd be lonely at sea, so I carefully prepared a lot of "little cuties" for you. No need to thank me too much!]
Oh, by the way, I bet no one hasn't upgraded their homestead yet, right? Hehe, I have a piece of advice for everyone: upgrading your homestead ensures safety!
See you in three days! Best of luck! Good night, sweet dreams~ (PS: Hope to see you all again in three days~)
After leaving this message, the system disappeared again.
But who the hell can sleep?!
