"Whew..."
Chen Fan took a deep breath before looking at Wang Kui. "Carry these five crates back, empty them, then bring them back up."
The crates were loaded onto Crocodile.
A few trips would be enough to move everything.

The digging resumed.

"I really like you."
He lay on the ground beside the Level-2 Farmland, his cheek almost pressed against the mud, earnestly showering the Sunflower Seed buried in the soil with praise. His voice had even grown somewhat hoarse from talking for so long.
This was a special Exotic Plant.
The more praise it
