Looking at the number on the testing device, 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 a little better than Luo Feng's in the original work.
After all, when Luo Feng first absorbed Cosmic Energy in the original work, his strength had not increased by as much as Xiao Yang's.
Generally speaking, a normal person's strength would only increase by two or three hundred kilograms upon their first absorption of Cosmic Energy.
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 it.
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, but 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.
It was a new crop!
And Level-1 Rice had to be better than watermelon, no matter what!
Looking at the watermelon that still needed over an hour to mature, Xiao Yang nearly used Copper Coins to speed it up and make it ripen immediately.
However, just then, Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something.
Now that he had leveled up, he should be able to cultivate new land!
Thinking this, he took out a shovel from the tool bar and began cultivating the area 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 immediately planted the ten portions of rice seeds he had obtained earlier.
He had initially been worried that the land was not a paddy field and wondered whether rice could be planted there.
However, when Xiao Yang clicked plant, the ground immediately turned into a paddy field, and he 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 the Level-1 Rice, delight flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.
Eating it could directly increase strength?
This was good!
It was far better than watermelon, as expected of a Level 1 crop.
He just did not know how much strength it could increase.
At that moment, Xiao Yang found watermelon rather unappealing.
He planned to fill all these plots with rice!
As for watermelon, it could be temporarily eliminated.
Xiao Yang opened the shop, preparing 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, the system had rewarded him with ten thousand Copper Coins upon reaching Level 1. Otherwise, Xiao Yang would not have been able to buy many portions of rice seeds.
When he opened the shop, Xiao Yang also saw that the daily goods page, which had previously been inaccessible, could now be opened.
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): Drinking it can temporarily increase comprehension (effective only for cultivators below the Stellar level), lasting one month.] [Broken Fishing Net (1 Copper Coin):...]
When Xiao Yang saw the watermelon, his expression remained completely unchanged.
When he saw the rice, Xiao Yang looked at its price and guessed that one portion of rice could probably be sold for one thousand Copper Coins.
Like watermelon, rice sold for ten times the price of its 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!
There was actually something this good!
A treasure that could increase 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 was why this game could not be topped up!
Never before had he wanted a game to have a top-up option so badly.
These Enlightenment Tea Leaves had appeared among the daily goods.
Xiao Yang guessed that the Enlightenment Tea Leaves would be refreshed away tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yang could not help feeling heartbroken.
A treasure that could increase comprehension!
Such a treasure was right in front of him, yet he had no money to buy it!
Xiao Yang casually glanced at the final item. After discovering it was junk, he closed the daily goods page.
Out of sight, out of mind.
However, after thinking it over, Xiao Yang still reopened the page and bought that one portion of Level-1 Rice.
He wanted to first test what effect this Level-1 Rice had.
Xiao Yang's hands were extremely quick, so quick that he did not even see what the other items were.
Soon, one 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!
Yet this 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 rice cooker really steam this single grain all the way through?
However, Xiao Yang had no other choice.
He still took the grain of rice into the kitchen and began trying to steam it.
Time soon passed.
The rice in the cooker was ready.
Xiao Yang opened it and used the chopsticks he had prepared to poke into the grain of rice.
Only after discovering that it was indeed soft inside did he pick it up.
A faint fragrance of rice wafted into Xiao Yang's nose.
Unable to wait any longer, he brought the grain of rice to his mouth and took a bite.
The texture of this grain of rice was not as soft and sticky as ordinary cooked rice.
Instead, it was somewhat like glutinous rice.
However, it tasted fragrant and sweet, and even eating it by itself did not feel cloying.
After taking several bites, Xiao Yang immediately felt a warm current appear within his body.
The warm current swept through his entire body, making Xiao Yang feel refreshed.
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 this, Xiao Yang began eating faster.
After a while, Xiao Yang finally finished it.
This single grain of rice had actually filled Xiao Yang up!
Before steaming, it had already been the size of a fist.
After being cooked, the grain had expanded to around five times its original size!
Combined with the energy it contained, one grain was enough to make Xiao Yang full.
He returned to the testing device in the training room.
He had not turned off the testing device earlier.
Xiao Yang directly threw another punch at the testing device.
Bang!
1820kg--
Looking at the display screen, joy flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.
One grain of rice had actually increased his strength by around fifty kilograms!
