Xi Xi carefully reached out and gently pinched the edge of the spherical glass cover of the micro-planting pot, slowly and cautiously lifting it open.
Just then, the sphere in my hand, radiating a soft light, called "Emerald Dawn," seemed to come alive and began to tremble slightly.
The "Little Sun" Yu Cui Xi Guang seems to be able to sense changes in its surroundings. Like a graceful dancer, it floats and dances in the air before finally hovering steadily above the plant in the planting pot.
Immediately afterwards, the emerald light began to gradually approach the tender green buds, and slowly and gently merged into the surface of the buds.
The seedlings, which had been shriveled and yellowed due to a lack of nutrients and sunlight, now seemed to feel the warmth and energy brought by the Yu Cui Xi Guang (a type of solar term).
They swayed their slender bodies slightly, like fairies dancing in a breeze. Although it was only a slight sway, one could clearly feel that they were trying their best to absorb this hard-won nourishment.
[Item Description: Consumable. Provides the plant with the light it needs for 10 days. When the plant receives sufficient light, it will automatically convert into nutrients (stackable).]
Xi Xi was overjoyed. Although the Yu Cui Xi Guang light was not as stable and long-lasting as plant grow lights, its feature of directly converting into nutrients indirectly solved another major problem that had troubled her for a long time—fertilization.
It's important to know that different crops have different fertilizer requirements. If too little fertilizer is applied, it can easily lead to malnutrition in the plants; if too much fertilizer is applied, it can very likely cause root burn.
In the original world, Xi Xi had never conducted in-depth research on the field of planting before, let alone had a stable and long-term effective way to obtain fertilizer.
However, the situation is different now. As long as there is enough sunlight, the Yu Cui Xi Guang (a type of solar energy) can automatically convert it into nutrients that crops can absorb.
This undoubtedly brought great help to Xi Xi. In this way, even in the dark tunnel where sunlight rarely shines, the various crops in the planting pots can still continue to grow vigorously.
Xi Xi even had a bold idea: if the Yu Cui Xi Guang could be used continuously, would it mean that the plant's growth rate could be further accelerated?
Unfortunately, aside from the "Blessing with a Skillful Brush," she didn't know the specific ways to obtain the "Emerald Dawn," and with only two painting opportunities per day, it was difficult to achieve a large-scale stacking of buffs...
Xi Xi looked at the other two miniature planting pots beside her and shook her head helplessly. First of all, she should focus on getting the lighting right.
The whole day passed quietly in a flurry of activity.
Compared to yesterday's rollercoaster-like, perilous experience, today's luck can be described as quite good.
This tunnel seemed to be much richer than the ones they had passed through before. In just half a day, Xi Xi and her mother had obtained three beginner treasure chests and two intermediate treasure chests!
Chu Zhiqin drove the vehicle carefully and finally found a relatively dry spot, then slowly stopped the car.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Xi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly opened the car door and nimbly got out of the car.
She began to carefully examine her surroundings like a well-trained scout, her eyes sharp as a hawk, not missing any corner or detail that might pose a danger.
After a while, once she was sure there was nothing unusual around her, Xi Xi turned around, nodded to her mother who was not far behind her, and then sent a private message to Shaliman.
A short while later, Sallyman's car caught up and came to a steady stop next to Xi Xi and the others.
Sallyman stepped out of the carriage with a heroic air, one hand gripping a longsword tightly, the other carrying a pile of slain giant insect corpses. These giant insects looked ferocious and terrifying, but in Sallyman's hands, they seemed to be nothing more than insignificant spoils of war.
Since they were traveling on the same road, resources were inevitably limited. So they agreed in advance that Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin would be responsible for the resource points on the right side of the tunnel, while Shaliman would be in charge of the resource points on the left side of the tunnel.
This clear division of labor eliminates the need to look around while driving and avoids unnecessary waiting and interference between drivers.
As a result, everyone focused intently on their tasks without any hesitation or delay, greatly improving efficiency. In just half a day, they traveled a great distance and obtained a very generous treasure chest.
It's worth mentioning that before opening the treasure chest, the lucky Xi Xi didn't forget to eat a sweet potato jerky made by Granny You herself.
Perhaps it was this tiny dried sweet potato that brought her magical power, making her feel divinely aided during this unboxing, and she was incredibly lucky to find a delicious cooked food—a 12-inch double cheese Italian meat sauce pizza!
That night, Xi Xi, Chu Zhiqin, and Shaliman sat around the campfire and began to enjoy the huge pizza that emitted an enticing aroma.
The pizza crust was crispy and delicious, the meat sauce was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour, and a hint of spice. It was intertwined with the melted cheese and was quickly devoured by the three of them.
After dinner, Shaliman stared intently at the pile of giant insect corpses she had brought. She gripped the hilt of her sword, and with a sharp flick, the incredibly hard outer shell of the giant insect was easily sliced off as if it were made of paper.
The giant insect's exoskeleton fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She bent down to pick up the shells that had been cut off, and then without hesitation threw them one by one into the roaring fire.
In an instant, the originally orange-yellow flames began to flicker, and their color changed instantly. The bright orange-yellow gradually faded, replaced by a delicate and luscious pink.
As the flames changed color, a strange fragrance began to fill the air...
