Earth Online

Xue Xi returned to the restaurant. Although the provincial-level goal of one million had been reached and ten pages of the Great Book had been unlocked, she had not yet clicked to claim her cultivation progress due to the upcoming genius tournament, meaning her reach was currently locked. For now, she could only settle for checking her rewards and new recipes.

Back in her little nest, Xue Xi extended her right hand from under the quilt and began flipping through the pages in the void as if reading a novel.

In the darkness, the pages emitting a faint glow suddenly turned gold. Xue Xi felt a surge of excitement—a golden opening! It seemed the odds were in her favor today!

[Tofu Pudding] Tender and soft silken tofu. Depending on local tastes, the north prefers it savory, while the south favors it sweet. There are also regions, such as the Tianfu Plain, that enjoy a sour and spicy flavor.

[Heavenly Gift Effect] Enhances the reproductive ability of the consumer. Note: Only at the Universe Rank will it have an effect on non-flesh-based life forms.

Xue Xi looked at the picture of the tender, white tofu pudding with a strange expression. This effect—was it the Goddess of Mercy delivering children?

But it was perfect. Earth was currently in a state of recovery and was in desperate need of a large population to fill the gaps. Furthermore, the fact that the Universe Rank version could even affect the reproduction of non-flesh-based life meant that, in the future, even immortal-realm humans in the universe might be able to reproduce again.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Xue Xi flipped further: purple, purple, purple... After eight consecutive purple pages, just as Xue Xi was lamenting that she would only get one golden recipe this time, a thick, golden light lit up in the bottom right corner of the final page.

[Lushan Cloud Mist Tea] A traditional famous tea of the Han people, produced in Lushan, belonging to a type of green tea. Cloud Mist Tea has a unique flavor. Influenced by Lushan's cool, foggy climate and short periods of direct sunlight, it develops thick leaves with many fine hairs, resulting in a mellow, sweet, and durable brew.

[Heavenly Gift Effect] Clouds rise and mist swirls, leading to enlightenment like an immortal. Depending on the rank, it grants the drinker 100, 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 times the speed of law comprehension. One cup of tea lasts for one month.

With a thud, Xue Xi hit her head against the headboard, leaving a large dent, but these were minor details. She scrambled off the bed and paced back and forth in excitement. It was exactly what she needed! She had been worrying about how to comprehend laws just a few days ago, and now, a cheat (not really) had arrived!

"Calm down, calm down! There are still rewards I haven't claimed yet; there might be more surprises!" Xue Xi kept forcing herself to quiet down.

With her mind full of thoughts about the Cloud Mist Tea, Xue Xi simply cleared all the red dots. The familiar blue vortex appeared in her bedroom once again, and a colorful card emerged from it first.

Reward Item Upgrade Card: Increases the rank of a designated reward item by one level.

Following this, five more upgrade cards emerged one after another. Xue Xi held the six upgrade cards from the Great Book in her hand, pondering which items would be best to upgrade.

The blue vortex didn't care about her hesitation; it spat out the remaining four rewards and suddenly vanished.

Xue Xi temporarily put away the upgrade cards and used the Gourmet Anchor to identify these four items: Earth Seed Bank, Animal Gene Bank, and Cloning Chamber.

And the final item, which looked like a globe, received its identification information from the Gourmet Anchor in quick succession.

[Ingredient Cultivation Planet]: A sphere as the name suggests, built to the exact size of Earth, but currently empty inside. Please, shopkeeper, operate and cultivate it yourself.

With the seed bank, gene bank, cloning chamber, and now the cultivation planet, it seemed the Great Book had solved the problem of basic ingredients in the universe, Xue Xi thought as she walked toward the four items.

Grabbing the planet model, she was instantly transported into the planet's space. Sure enough, there was a massive spherical object inside, but it was completely barren.

With a thought, the mountains on the planet collapsed into abysses, and the ocean floors rose to become mountain ranges. The planet shifted according to Xue Xi's will, as easily as a creator god game.

Xue Xi had an idea. She had originally planned to visit Lushan in person to search for traces of the Cloud Mist Tea, but now, hehehe...

She opened the operational permissions for a smart satellite gifted to her by Jia Yi and aimed it at the Lushan area. Consequently, comprehensive data on the mountains, terrain, and rivers near Lushan was transmitted to Xue Xi's smart bracelet.

She scanned the survey data and then entered the planet. The next second, in the corresponding latitude and longitude, mountains rose from the ground, and an area identical to the real-life Lushan region took shape.

However, Xue Xi soon frowned. She had the seeds and the terrain, but what about sunlight and water sources? There was no sun here, nor was there the moon's gravitational pull on the water.

Xue Xi pondered for a long time before her eyes suddenly lit up. The Red-Blue Taiji Diagram between her brows expanded and revealed its true form.

That was right; Xue Xi intended to use the Culinary Spirit Fire to replace the sun and the Myriad Manifestation Water to replace the moon. However, the current Desolate Rank water and fire were clearly not enough.

The six upgrade cards appeared in Xue Xi's hand. Perfect—three for each would bring them to the Universe Rank. She believed that Universe Rank Myriad Manifestation Water and Culinary Spirit Fire would certainly be up to the task.

She threw three upgrade cards into the Myriad Manifestation Water and the other three into the Culinary Spirit Fire. With water submerging and fire roasting, the upgrade cards had long since vanished.
