Character Upgrade, New Features, New Crops!

Looking at the numbers on the testing machine, Xiao Yang's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

He had not expected that his first absorption of Cosmic Energy would increase his strength by seven hundred kilograms!

At the very least, Xiao Yang's physical talent was slightly better than Luo Feng's in the original story.

After all, when Luo Feng first absorbed Cosmic Energy in the original story, his increase in strength had not been as high as Xiao Yang's.

Generally speaking, when normal people absorbed Cosmic Energy for the first time, their strength only increased by two or three hundred kilograms.

Those with better talent could gain around six hundred kilograms.

Of course, there were also geniuses whose strength increased by over a thousand kilograms the first time they absorbed Cosmic Energy.

Although Xiao Yang was not as good as those so-called geniuses, he did not care much about that.

What he cared about more was his cheat.

With a thought from Xiao Yang, the game screen appeared before him.

Sure enough, Xiao Yang discovered that his game level had risen to Level 1!

Previously, his game level had only been Level 0.

Not only that, he had also received a Level 1 gift pack.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and opened it immediately.

The next moment, he received ten thousand Copper Coins and ten portions of Level-1 Rice seeds!

Xiao Yang's eyes immediately lit up at the sight.

It was a new crop!

And Level-1 Rice had to be more effective than watermelons, right?

Looking at the watermelons that still needed more than an hour to mature, Xiao Yang almost used Copper Coins to speed them up and make them ripen immediately.

However, at that moment, Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something.

Now that he had leveled up, he should be able to cultivate new land!

With that thought, he took out a shovel from the toolbar and began cultivating land beside the previous nine plots.

Sure enough!

Xiao Yang directly cultivated twenty-one plots of land!

He now had a total of thirty plots of land!

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly planted the ten portions of rice seeds he had obtained earlier.

At first, he had been worried about whether rice could be grown since the land was not a paddy field.

However, when Xiao Yang clicked to plant them, the original land directly turned into paddy fields, and Xiao Yang saw the countdown behind the rice.

[Level-1 Rice (15:59:58): Rich in nutrients and energy. Consuming it can directly increase strength.]

Looking at the description behind Level-1 Rice, joy flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

Eating it could directly increase strength?

This was good!

It was much better than watermelons, as expected of a Level 1 crop.

He just did not know how much strength it could increase.

At that moment, Xiao Yang was somewhat disgusted with watermelons.

He planned to fill all of these plots with rice!

As for watermelons, they were temporarily eliminated.

Xiao Yang opened the store, intending to buy more rice seeds.

He discovered that one portion of rice seeds actually cost one hundred Copper Coins!

However, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly bought thirty portions.

Fortunately, after reaching Level 1, the system had rewarded him with ten thousand Copper Coins. Otherwise, Xiao Yang would not have been able to buy many portions of rice seeds.

When he opened the store, Xiao Yang also saw that the daily products page, which he had previously been unable to open, could now be accessed.

However, after opening it, he found only four items inside.

[Level-0 Watermelon (ten Copper Coins): ...]

[Level-1 Rice (one thousand Copper Coins): ...]

[Level-2 Enlightenment Tea Leaves (one million Copper Coins): After drinking it, comprehension can be temporarily improved (effective only for cultivators below the Stellar level). Duration: one month.]

[Broken Fishing Net (1 Copper Coin): ...]

Xiao Yang's gaze did not waver in the slightest when he saw the watermelons.

When he saw the rice, Xiao Yang looked at its price and guessed that one portion of rice would also sell for one thousand Copper Coins.

Just like watermelons, the price of rice was also ten times the price of rice seeds.

Xiao Yang continued looking down and saw the Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

Looking at the description of the Enlightenment Tea Leaves, Xiao Yang's eyes turned green with envy!

There was actually such a good thing!

A treasure that could improve comprehension!

Although it was only temporary, it was still extremely precious.

At that moment, Xiao Yang felt that he needed to earn more Copper Coins.

Looking at the one million Copper Coins behind the Enlightenment Tea Leaves, Xiao Yang could not help shedding tears of poverty.

All he wanted to know now was why this game did not allow top-ups!

Never before had he wanted a game to have a top-up option so badly.

These Enlightenment Tea Leaves had appeared in the daily products.

Xiao Yang guessed that the Enlightenment Tea Leaves would be refreshed away tomorrow.

Thinking of that, Xiao Yang could not help feeling heartbroken.

A treasure that could improve comprehension!

Such a treasure was right in front of him, yet he had no money to buy it!

Xiao Yang casually glanced at the last item. After discovering that it was trash, he closed the daily products page.

Out of sight, out of mind.

However, after thinking it over, Xiao Yang still reopened the page and bought that portion of Level-1 Rice.

He wanted to first test what effect this Level-1 Rice had.

Xiao Yang's hands were extremely fast, so fast that he did not see what the other items were at all.

Very soon, a portion of Level-1 Rice appeared in his hand.

Looking at the rice in his hand—or rather, the single grain of rice—confusion flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

The rice in his hand really was just one grain!

But that single grain was as large as an adult man's fist!

This was truly huge rice!

Looking at the huge grain of rice in his hand, Xiao Yang fell silent.

Could his home's rice cooker really steam this single grain of rice thoroughly, inside and out?

However, Xiao Yang had no other choice.

He still took the grain of rice into the kitchen and began trying to cook it.

Very soon, time passed.

The rice in the rice cooker was done.

Xiao Yang opened it and inserted the chopsticks he had prepared into the grain of rice.

Only after discovering that it really was soft inside did he pick it up.

A faint fragrance of rice wafted into Xiao Yang's nose.

He could not wait to bring the grain of rice to his mouth and take a bite.

The texture of this grain of rice was not soft and sticky like ordinary cooked rice.

Instead, it was somewhat like glutinous rice.

However, it tasted slightly sweet and fragrant, and he would not get tired of it even if he ate it plain.

After taking several bites, Xiao Yang immediately felt a warm current appear within his body.

This warm current swept through his entire body, making Xiao Yang feel extremely comfortable.

This feeling was somewhat similar to when Xiao Yang had cultivated Genetic Origin Energy earlier.

He guessed that this was the energy within the rice nourishing his body and increasing his strength.

Thinking of that, Xiao Yang sped up his eating.

After a while, Xiao Yang finally finished it.

That single grain of rice had actually stuffed Xiao Yang full!

Before steaming, it had already been the size of a fist.

After being cooked, the grain of rice had expanded to around five times its original size!

Coupled with the energy it contained, one grain was enough to fill Xiao Yang up.

He returned to the testing machine in the training room.

He had not turned off the testing machine earlier.

Xiao Yang directly threw another punch at the testing machine.

Bang!

1820kg—

Looking at the display, joy flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

A single grain of rice had actually increased his strength by around fifty kilograms!
