After scrolling down several more pages in the discussion section, he finally saw some useful posts.
"Out in the northern suburbs of Rong City, that Black Bear Beast with the strength of a Second-Order Early Stage is extremely powerful. Unless you have a Second-Order Mid Stage Cultivator leading the team, it's best not to provoke it.
Our team accidentally ran into it this morning. After a brief clash, our captain, who had the strength of a Second-Order Early Stage, was seriously injured while covering our retreat."
"Out in the western suburbs of Rong City, five kilometers from Two Immortals Bridge, we ran into that group of Forest Wolf Beasts of unknown numbers.
There were fifteen Forest Wolf Beasts in total. The strongest, the alpha wolf, had the strength of a First-Order High Stage, while the rest were generally at the First-Order Mid Stage.
Aside from the strongest alpha wolf, which escaped, the other Forest Wolf Beasts were all killed by our team at the cost of only minor injuries."
After browsing the discussion section for half an hour, Lin Li exited the app. The most direct impression he got from reading those posts was that hunting Beasts in the wilderness was extremely dangerous and that it was very easy to get injured.
Moreover, after reading so many posts, he discovered that everyone who had made a post had joined a Beast Hunter team. Not a single one was a lone wolf.
Because of his cheat, if he wanted Beast meat that had been freshly killed within an hour, there was no way Lin Li could join another Beast Hunter team.
If he was only trying to make money, he could temporarily join one of those Beast Hunter teams and hunt Beasts with them.
"Ugh..." Lin Li scratched his head in distress. "I'll try it tomorrow. If going alone doesn't work, I'll think of something else then... I'm getting a little hungry. I'll cook a bowl of egg-and-shredded-pork noodles first to fill my stomach!"
He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already half past eleven in the morning. Lin Li got up, walked into the kitchen, and began cooking noodles.
Three in the afternoon.
A figure suddenly appeared on the Mysterious Small Island.
The figure had a damp towel hanging around his neck, a hoe in his left hand, and a plastic bucket in his right. Inside the bucket were a small red plastic bag and a ceramic cup.
There was still a long time before he would go into the wilderness to hunt Beasts tomorrow. With nothing to do at home, Lin Li had decided after waking from his nap to come to this Mysterious Small Island and plant some vegetables, to see whether he could get anything to grow here.
Although Lin Li had never farmed before, hadn't he at least seen pigs run even if he had never eaten pork?
Besides, the internet was so advanced nowadays. He could search for farming tutorials on some video websites. Even if he couldn't immediately become a seasoned farmer, he could at least copy what he saw and avoid making a complete mess of things.
After placing the plastic bucket on the grass, Lin Li hefted the hoe he had spent fifteen yuan on, chose the northeastern corner of the Mysterious Small Island, and began reclaiming the land.
"Heave-ho..."
"Heave-ho..."
"Heave-ho..."
Lin Li had carefully studied videos of seasoned farmers working the land, and his movements as he reclaimed the soil looked quite convincing.
He bent over and swung the hoe in his hands, removing the grass and loosening the soil.
Although the space where the Mysterious Small Island was located had a comfortable temperature that never felt hot or cold, Lin Li was swinging a hoe and reclaiming land at that moment. He was doing hard physical labor, so it was impossible not to feel hot.
After a little more than ten minutes, Lin Li was sweating all over as he worked the land. He used the damp towel hanging around his neck to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Although he had carefully studied the videos of seasoned farmers working the land beforehand, he discovered that actually doing it was nowhere near as simple as it had seemed while watching the videos.
Lin Li had originally planned to spend half an hour reclaiming fifty square meters of farmland, but in reality, it took him more than an hour to finish reclaiming the fifty square meters.
"Good grief, I never expected reclaiming such a small patch of land to be this exhausting." After finishing the farmland, Lin Li wiped the sweat from his face with the damp towel, then knocked on his aching lower back with his hand.
It was tiring, but as he looked at the farmland he had reclaimed with his own hands, a happy smile spread across Lin Li's face.
Now that the land was prepared, it was time to plant vegetable seeds in it.
Lin Li walked toward the plastic bucket placed at the edge of the island. First, he took out his ceramic cup, crouched down, and filled it with water from the bucket. Then he drained it in one go, gulp after gulp.
"Refreshing..." Having a large cup of water after hard work was truly refreshing.
After placing the cup on the grass, Lin Li took the red plastic bag out of the bucket and pulled out a packet of Radish Seeds.
Then he filled the plastic bucket a little less than halfway with water. Holding the seeds in his left hand and the bucket in his right, he walked toward the farmland he had reclaimed.
He poked a hole in the soil with his finger, then placed four or five Radish Seeds inside.
Repeating the same movements, Lin Li finished planting the seeds and watering the entire field more than half an hour later. He gazed at the farmland before him with a look of deep affection.
"Grow, grow. You have to grow, you hear me? Don't let the nearly two hours I spent on this go to waste."
After completing his goal of reclaiming farmland and planting Radishes, Lin Li used the plastic bucket to draw some water and watered the Miracle Small Tree standing in the center of the island.
Then he left the cup, bucket, and hoe on the island and returned to the real world.
On the empty and tranquil Mysterious Small Island, in the patch of farmland Lin Li had reclaimed...
One hour after Lin Li left the Mysterious Small Island, the Radish Seeds buried in the soil actually began to sprout.
The space where the Mysterious Small Island was located had neither day nor night.
When Lin Li emerged after busying himself on the island for more than two hours, it was already past five in the evening on Blue Star, and the sky outside was growing dim.
Because he had bought that hoe, Lin Li, who had originally had only seventy yuan left, now had just fifty-five yuan on him.
"Sigh... I guess I'll keep eating egg-and-shredded-pork noodles tonight!"
Just as Lin Li, who could no longer afford takeout, was preparing to go to the kitchen and cook himself a bowl of noodles, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Ring-ring..."
He took out his phone and checked the caller ID. It was Su Yue.
As soon as he saw that Su Yue was calling, the image that surfaced in Lin Li's mind was not her charming face or her voluptuous figure, but the heaps of delicious dishes she had cooked.
Lin Li had been eating egg-and-shredded-pork noodles for several meals since yesterday. The moment he thought of the delicious food Su Yue cooked, he couldn't stop himself from drooling.
"Hello..."
"Lin Li, have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet! Have you?"
"I haven't either! I made Dumplings and am just about to put them in the pot. Do you want to come over and eat?"
Dumplings. I love them... Just as Lin Li was about to say that he wanted some, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
