Qing Mengzhu flinched, struggled to break free of the covers, and reached for her phone. "It really is! I bought it from the Interstellar Mall. If you don't believe me, I'll open my profile and show you, then you'll see."

He was very persistent. Ming Chunxi looked at him and felt that it might be true, so she helped him get the phone.

Qing Mengzhu looked at her phone, her face lighting up with delight. She tapped several times before opening the Interstellar Mall: "Look!"

Looking back on the past, Ming Chunxi...

Qing Mengzhu opened her personal center, found the book "Elementary Soil Science (0.5)," and pointed it out to Ming Chunxi: "That's right, 0.5 is half, I bought half a book!"

Ming Chunxi looked at the book's title. "This should be the book's name."

Qing Mengzhu shook her head. "No, I've already seen it, it's only half. You'll see if you click on it."

The books Qing Mengzhu bought were not books in the traditional sense, but skill books, Ming Chunxi could not read.

Seeing that Ming Chunxi was not moving for a long time, he became a little impatient and reached out to tap on it, trying to show it to Ming Chunxi.

As a result, the entire book turned gray, and the light from the book entered Qing Mengzhu's body.

He was already dazed, and this shock made him look even more dazed.

Ming Chunxi quickly caught him in her arms. "How are you now? Is anything bothering you?"

Qing Mengzhu rolled over in Ming Chunxi's arms, pressing her hand to her temples. "I feel dizzy, have a headache, and feel a little nauseous."

Ming Chunxi asked nervously, "Let me rub it for you. Should I take you to the bathroom?"

Qing Mengzhu: "I can't spit it out."

Qing Mengzhu felt like his mind was filled with a lot of things. He was already not clear-headed, and with all that stuff in his mind, he became even more so.

Even more surprisingly, although he was feeling dizzy, he wasn't sleepy at all; on the contrary, he was unusually excited.

Ming Chunxi sat beside him taking care of him, and even went to get some fresh bamboo juice for him to drink.

After drinking it, he felt a little more awake, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

Qing Mengzhu said to Ming Chunxi with a bitter face, "There really is only half a skill book. I feel like I've only learned half of so many things before it abruptly ended."

Ming Chunxi massaged his temples. "I believe you now, you go to sleep."

Qing Mengzhu: "I can't sleep, my head is buzzing, so many new things are popping up."

Qing Mengzhu: "Is it really this hard to accept half a skill book? Do you think the Interstellar Mall knew I couldn't handle the whole skill book, so they specially sold me half?"

Ming Chunxi: "That's possible, but I noticed that my Star Coins and Points balance in my personal center are empty. Maybe I really can't afford the whole book."

Qing Mengzhu: "..."

Ming Chunxi smiled and said, "Lie down and stop thinking about it. You won't be able to sleep if you keep thinking."

Qing Mengzhu shifted in bed, found a comfortable position, and lay quietly without moving.

Seeing that he was probably asleep, Ming Chunxi let go of his hands and stopped massaging him.

He reached out and grabbed Ming Chunxi's wrist, indicating that he wanted to press it again.

After tossing and turning most of the night, Qing Mengzhu's head still ached when she woke up the next day, but it was much better than the night before.

He reached for his phone on the bedside table and glanced at the time.

It was seven o'clock in the morning, much later than his usual wake-up time.

Turning my head again, I saw Ming Chunxi lying next to me, not having gone to work.

Perhaps sensing Qing Mengzhu's movement, Ming Chunxi opened her eyes.

Qing Mengzhu: "It's Friday today, looks like I have to go to work."

"I can't get up, I'm working from home." Ming Chunxi reached out and touched his forehead. "Are you feeling better?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Much more comfortable."

Ming Chunxi: "Still half a book?"

Qing Mengzhu then remembered that she had obtained half of Elementary Soil Science skills book. "It seems so, let me take a look."

Qing Mengzhu quickly opened the Interstellar Mall check, but unexpectedly, an update notification popped up, stating that the new update would "fix 23 known bugs and optimize the user experience."

He had been using the Interstellar Mall for so long, and this was the first time he had seen an update notification. He was stunned.

Ming Chunxi: "What's wrong?"

Qing Mengzhu showed her phone to Ming Chunxi: "It really was a bug last night; there's an update notification now."

Ming Chunxi calmly said, "Can we turn off the update? Let's see what the bug is. Is buying half a skill book a bug, or is the fact that you were able to buy the 'Elementary Soil Science' book itself a bug?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Let me check, it seems I can't click it off. I can't access the Interstellar Mall without updating."

Ming Chunxi: "Then the fact that you managed to buy 'Elementary Soil Science' might be a bug in itself."

Qing Mengzhu: "I can't use the Interstellar Mall without updating it; it seems like it's targeting me."

Qing Mengzhu exited the Interstellar Mall app and put her phone aside. "My mind isn't quite clear right now, I'll check it again later."

Ming Chunxi: "Okay."

The two stood close together, both pondering the possibility of buying half of a skill book.

After thinking for a while, Qing Mengzhu said, "It seems there's no way around it. I'm a disadvantaged user; I only have two options: accept the update or stop using the Interstellar Mall."

Ming Chunxi: "We actually benefited from buying the skill books this time."

Qing Mengzhu: "I guess so, otherwise the Interstellar Mall wouldn't be in such a hurry."

After careful consideration, the two finally decided that there were no other options but to upgrade according to the requirements of the Interstellar Mall.

As Qing Mengzhu clicked the upgrade button, she felt a pang of regret. "The Interstellar Mall is too fast. If it had been slower, we might have been able to buy the other half of the Soil Science skill book."

Ming Chunxi: "Even if it's slow, it shouldn't be so slow that we'll only realize it after we've accumulated enough points and Star Coins to buy the other half of the skill book."

Qing Mengzhu: "Forget it, contentment is happiness. It's already good enough that we were able to buy half a book."

After the Interstellar Mall finished updating, Qing Mengzhu clicked in to take a look and found that his ability to buy half of the skill book was indeed a bug.

The Soil Science Skills Book is a skill book that can only be purchased by intermediate members, who need to achieve a monthly sales volume of 100,000 Star Coins.

He's far from being a mid-level member.

Qing Mengzhu tried hard to recall what she had done last night and how she had ended up buying this skill book.

Unfortunately, he was drunk and overwhelmed by a large amount of knowledge, so his mind was blank and he couldn't remember anything.

However, having obtained half a book on soil science skills this time, his understanding of soil science has improved significantly.

He has a different understanding of how to optimize and improve the soil in the fields.

Qing Mengzhu turned on her computer and said to Ming Chunxi, "I want to modify the soil in the terraced fields to practice my skills."

Ming Chunxi: "Based on the knowledge gained yesterday?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Yes! I want to increase the organic matter content of the topsoil; the organic matter content of the soil over the terraced fields is too low."

Ming Chunxi: "It seems you already have an idea."

Qing Mengzhu her fist. "I have so many things I want to do right now."

Qing Mengzhu couldn't quite describe his current situation; he felt that he had gained not only knowledge but also experience.

This feeling is completely different from the feeling of receiving a planting skill book.

Perhaps because he already had experience in planting, even if he gained new experience, it wouldn't be too noticeable.

Soil science was entirely new to him, making the experience he gained exceptionally clear.

The two sat side by side working together.

Qing Mengzhu typed rapidly, quickly writing a soil conditioning plan of over five thousand words in one go.

After he finished writing, Ming Chunxi read it carefully and felt that he had written a short paper with detailed data and simple operation.

Because the article is particularly concise and clear, it has a certain aesthetic appeal.

Ming Chunxi watched with great admiration and couldn't help but hug and kiss Qing Mengzhu.

After Qing Mengzhu and Ming Chunxi finished reading and offering their opinions, they excitedly showed the book to Zhao Hexi.
