Chapter 104

Hani and Habu reluctantly shifted their bottoms, making a small path. "Chirp chirp."

Xie Juanhan turned his head. "Then I'll begin."

All the little ones. "Aww!"

The soil inside the Magic Wand Plant was very loose. Xie Juanhan checked it, dug a hole around it with a small shovel, and scooped in a spoonful of elemental fertilizer.

The fertilizer was buried, but the Magic Wand Plant didn't react.

This is completely different from the last time it actively snatched Elemental Crystal.

"Huh?" Xie Juanhan tugged at its leaves, somewhat puzzled.

Telingewei also came over to check.

"The fertilizer isn't enough, so there's no reaction?" Xie Juanhan looked at the Magic Wand Plant and casually scooped up two more scoops of fertilizer and put them into the flowerpot.

The Magic Wand Plant still didn't react.

Xie Juanhan glanced at it, then suddenly reached into the flowerpot with a shovel and scooped out some fertilizer.

Xie Juanhan's shovel had not yet left the flowerpot.

The roots of the Magic Wand Plant suddenly sprouted, wrapped around the small shovel, and with a shake, shook all the fertilizer out of the shovel.

Then, its roots curled up, tightly wrapping all the fertilizer inside.

Xie Juanhan looked at it calmly.

I knew this guy was cheating!

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei took two steps back, waiting for the Magic Wand Plant's reaction.

The Magic Wand Plant absorbed the fertilizer, and the color of its leaves changed from dark green to emerald green.

It was even so green it looked black.

Xie Juanhan stared at its leaves; there was energy moving within them.

It might spew out lava.

I wonder how big a puddle of lava will be this time?

After absorbing fertilizer, its magma volume should increase.

Xie Juanhan thought this, the Magic Wand Plant, like an erupting volcano, shook its entire canopy and began to spew lava.

The little guys were staring intently at it, their bottoms already tucked in, and their legs already moving in a certain direction.

They assumed that, just like in countless previous games, the Magic Wand Plant would spew out a pool of lava and hit some unlucky guy.

Unexpectedly, the Magic Wand Plant suddenly spewed out lava, not in a puddle, but like a fountain, spraying in all directions.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei stood close together, lava flying overhead.

The little creatures formed a circle around it, and the lava just happened to rush towards them.

"Awoo!"

"Awooo!"

"Waaah--"

The little ones sprang up instantly, howling and running in all directions.

Nibote wanted to fly into the air, but the lava was falling right down, and if he flew, he would crash into it head-on.

Realizing this, it hurriedly folded its wings and ran to the side.

Because it changed its movements, becoming the largest and slowest, the lava landed squarely on its tail ball, burning its tail bald once again.

"Awooo!" Nibote yelled, turning around in a panic and stomping on his tail several times with his paws to extinguish the flames.

Xie Juanhan: "..."

After the Magic Wand Plant finished spewing lava, its leaves wilted, and the whole plant looked rather listless.

Xie Juanhan went over to check.

The Magic Wand Plant is still a level three magic plant and has not broken through.

But--

"Have its branches grown a little thicker?"

Telingewei examined it closely. "It's a bit thicker, the length has changed, and the main stem is longer."

Xie Juanhan pondered, "The proportions seem a bit off."

Telingewei didn't react for a moment. "What?"

Xie Juanhan pinched the leaves of the Magic Wand Plant: "It used to have typical shrub proportions, but now it's grown like a tree."

Xie Juanhan picked up the flowerpot and showed it to Telingewei: "What was once the main body of the wand has clearly grown into a trunk. The branches around it look thinner now, not like a shrub, but like a real Magic Wand Tree."

Upon closer inspection, Telingewei realized it was true. "Its magic level hasn't increased, but it has grown into a more advanced plant?"

From grass to shrubs, and then to trees, this is also a kind of advancement for plants.

Xie Juanhan affirmed, "Yes, it must have been the Elemental Crystal and elemental fertilizers that improved it."

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 104 [VIP]

At night, the sky was filled with stars, the glass lamps in the corridor were lit, and the reading lamp in Xie Juanhan's room illuminated the two dragons in every detail.

Xie Juanhan sat at his desk writing down his planting records for the past few days.

Telingewei sat next to him, occasionally discussing things in hushed tones.

After verifying with the Magic Wand Tree and confirming that the elemental fertilizer was safe, Xie Juanhan and his team gradually began using it on other crops.

They discovered that, apart from the Magic Wand Tree, the Star Berry was the most effective at absorbing elemental fertilizers.

They can absorb almost all of the elemental fertilizers.

Next up is the Golden Vine Pumpkin, which can absorb most of the elemental fertilizers, with the remaining small portion volatilizing away.

Aquatic plants have the worst absorption efficiency for elemental fertilizers.

They can only absorb a portion of it; the rest will evaporate, while the other part will absorb impurities, solidify, and fall into the pond.

"The inherent qualities of a plant determine its potential."

Xie Juanhan pondered for a moment, then began to scribble and draw in his notebook.

"Using elemental fertilizer on aquatic plants is too wasteful. Just use it on Star Berry and Golden Vine Pumpkin later."

"No, we also need to add the Magic Wand Tree."

After finishing writing, Xie Juanhan turned to Telingewei and asked for her opinion, "How is it?"

Telingewei looked thoughtful. "I think the Golden Vine Pumpkin has more potential than the Star Berry."

Xie Juanhan pondered, "Does the Golden Vine Pumpkin have even greater potential?"

Telingewei nodded. "Because of the Goddess of the Hunt."

"In our legends, the Goddess of the Hunt has always been one of the most important deities. The Golden-Horned Deer has accompanied her in battles for many years. Whether the Golden Vine Pumpkin came from the Golden-Horned Deer or was planted by the Goddess of the Hunt herself, its potential would not be low."

"If that's the case—" Xie Juanhan marked the spot next to the Golden Vine Pumpkin, "It's definitely worth trying to cultivate Golden Vine Pumpkin as a priority."

Xie Juanhan finished writing the planting record, closed the notebook, and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast, a year has passed."

Telingewei: "It's been a whole year."

"Really?" Xie Juanhan smiled. "I saw that the Ailan Village across the river had already started farming during the day."

Last year, when Xie Juanhan first arrived, it was around this time of year.

At that time, Ailan Village was also cultivating the land. The villagers drove their horses across the fields, and the land with tender shoots was plowed up, revealing the dark soil.

The smell of plants and soil made him feel at home, and he eventually settled here.

This year marks another year; he has settled down, made a home, and his crops are on track.

The Elemental Crystal were slowly evaporating.

Once it was confirmed that they could be made into fertilizer, and that the fertilizer would have a longer shelf life, Xie Juanhan entrusted all the Elemental Crystal to the Goblin to brew fertilizer.

"Squeak."

That day, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were stir-frying pork floss in the kitchen when they heard a faint sound coming from the hallway.

Immediately afterwards, Harper and the others chirped. "Chirp?"

"Squeak!"

"Aww?!"

Upon hearing this, Telingewei turned his head slightly. "A guest has arrived?"

"What guest?" Xie Juanhan placed the spatula on the pot lid and turned to walk out of the kitchen.

Telingewei extinguished the fire in the stove and then went outside.

As soon as they stepped out of the kitchen, the first thing they saw was a large squirrel climbing on the wall.

The squirrel's fur was standing on end, its bushy tail taut, and it bared its front teeth, glaring menacingly at the furry creatures crouching on the ground.

Nibote had one of his front paws on the wall, seemingly trying to swat the squirrel down.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei came out.

Harper and the others immediately squatted down obediently, Nibote also put down his paws and licked his lips.

"What are you doing?" Xie Juanhan glanced at them, then looked at the squirrel.

The squirrel, still shaken, its eyes darting around, its fur still puffed up, squeaked.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei looked at each other.

This squirrel is clearly a level one Demonic Beast.

Demonic Beast possesses a certain level of intelligence, meaning it is highly unlikely to stray into such a place.

Xie Juanhan raised his finger and released a little Dragon Power towards the squirrel.

After smelling it, the squirrel's eyes gradually cleared.

Its tail twitched a few times, then relaxed and curled naturally.

Telingewei gently grabbed Nibote's ear and pulled it back.

The Companion Beast and Moli also retreated to a distance of several meters.

"Squeak." The squirrel finally mustered up its courage and tentatively walked towards Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan squatted down, opened his arms, and looked at it.

The squirrel ran to Xie Juanhan's side and stood up on its hind legs.

Xie Juanhan then noticed that a leaf was tied to its furry belly, making it look like a small letter.

"Letters from the Goblin?" Xie Juanhan reacted immediately and gently removed the leaf.

Are the Goblin illiterate?

Why would they ask a squirrel to deliver a message?

Xie Juanhan turned the leaf over in surprise, wanting to see what the Goblin had written.

There was nothing written on the leaves, only a thin layer of elemental fertilizer pasted on them.

"Huh?" Xie Juanhan smiled as he looked at the message cleverly transmitted by the Goblin.

Telingewei: "What did they write?"

"Nothing's written on it." Xie Juanhan turned around and held up the leaves for Telingewei and the furry creatures to see. "They're just saying the fertilizer is ready."

"We received the letter, thank you," Xie Juanhan said to the squirrel.

The squirrel squeaked softly twice.

Xie Juanhan looked at the poor little squirrel, its fur standing on end in fright, and grabbed a handful of nuts from the nut jar in the kitchen.
