Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I Don’t Want to Go Home Empty-Handed Anymore
Late at night,
“Orange, I found information related to Spirit Plant cultivation.” A familiar, lively voice rang in his ear.
Judging from the tone, Jiang Wenning was still in a good mood.
“You’ve worked hard.” Chen Yuan said.
“It’s nothing.” Jiang Wenning giggled, then cleared her throat before speaking, “Spirit Plants don’t have high requirements for soil, but they have higher requirements for water quality.”
“Water quality?” Chen Yuan furrowed his brow slightly.
“Yes.” Jiang Wenning nodded, her voice calm, “It’s best not to use tap water for irrigation; rather, use water sprayed by a Water-type Pet Beast.”
“Such water can guarantee and accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants.”
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: “So I should find a Water-type Pet Beast to help with watering.”
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yuan suddenly had a thought, and involuntarily recalled a white figure.
Run Run Duck of Elite quality seemed to perfectly fit this requirement.
“That’s right, if there is a Wood-type Pet Beast as well, that would be even better, as it could continuously nurture the Spirit Plant with Spiritual Energy, making them grow faster and the planting more effective.” Jiang Wenning continued to speak.
Chen Yuan shook his head.
He hadn’t seen a single Wood-type Pet Beast yet.
“Thank you, Pomelo.” Chen Yuan sincerely thanked, his thoughts flashing by.
This is why having acquaintances is handy; no need to rack your brains looking for channels to find information.
Li Junyue listened quietly to the conversation between the two, without interrupting.
On one hand, he knew little about Spirit Plants, and on the other hand, he wanted to gain more information from their conversation.
“Watermelon, have you contracted your initial Pet Beast?” Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenning shifted the topic to him.
Li Junyue spoke in a deep tone: “Yes, it’s an Ink Tree Spirit.”
“Ink Tree Spirit, a Wood-type Pet Beast, evolved from an ordinary tree. Although it is silent in nature, it’s very resilient and is very suitable as an initial Pet Beast. The natural-born grade ranges from ordinary to elite.” Jiang Wenning recited the information about Ink Tree Spirit without hesitation.
“Natural-born?” Chen Yuan keenly captured a keyword.
“Yes.” Jiang Wenning nodded, “This is a new thesis proposed by a professor.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan and Li Junyue immediately sat upright.
“According to research and analysis, this professor believes that every Pet Beast has a natural-born grade fixed within a certain range; for example, the Ink Tree Spirit is of ordinary and elite quality, while my Nuomi is of elite and commander quality.”
“Simply put, a naturally-born Ink Tree Spirit could be of ordinary quality or elite quality.”
“Although fixed, it can be improved through certain means, which you are both aware of.”
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked softly: “Is there a Pet Beast that is born as commander quality?”
“Naturally.” Jiang Wenning nodded decisively, “There are even higher qualities than commander, although they are very rare during the initial stages of Spiritual Energy Revival.”
“There will be more in the future.”
Higher than commander quality…
Chen Yuan silently kept this in mind and did not pursue it further.
To him, aiming too high is not a good thing; it’s better to be down-to-earth, progress slowly, and eventually experience higher landscapes.
The two discussed this topic for a while longer, and then Li Junyue suddenly spoke: “Speaking of which, have you always communicated like this without a fixed time?”
“You mean…” Chen Yuan hesitated.
“I suggest we set a time for communication; like choosing a particular day at a certain time point, this could improve communication efficiency.” Li Junyue carefully phrased his suggestion.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: “That sounds like a good idea.”
Jiang Wenning suddenly proposed: “Why don’t we just share our contact information? This would greatly increase our communication efficiency.”
“It’s not like we’re in the old days when information exchange was difficult.”
Li Junyue didn’t even think about it and shook his head directly: “Let’s talk about that later.”
He never added contact information from unfamiliar “netizens,” especially when he didn’t know much about the two, unwilling to expose his identity.
Jiang Wenning wasn’t bothered at all, her voice still joyful: “Alright then, I’m usually free on Wednesdays and weekends.”
After a slight pause, she sighed again: “Other times, I have more classes, and I might not have time in the evenings.”
Chen Yuan said: “I actually have time every day, just a casual guy.”
Li Junyue said: “I have to work on weekdays, but Wednesday evenings should be fine.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan said: “Then let’s tentatively set it for Wednesday and Saturday nights.”
“Alright.”
“Hmm.”
…
September 2nd, Monday.
Weather: Clear.
Chen Yuan woke up naturally, got up to wash, and called awake the snoring Cola.
“Strange, every morning there used to be loud cicada chirps and bird calls, how come now there aren’t any.”
The mornings have been unusually quiet for a while.
Walking out of the hall, Chen Yuan instinctively looked up and when he saw the five glittering words on the wooden plaque, a smile naturally appeared on his face.
I must say, he quite liked this gift.
For Chen Yuan living in Xuanhe Village, material rewards were almost useless, but such rewards could make him happy and full of accomplishment.
After breakfast, the familiar screeching sound echoed in the air.
However, this time… It wasn’t a Spirit Fish that fell from the sky, but a common carp.
And when the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle landed on the ground, it looked somewhat disheveled – ruffled feathers, and marks from a collision on its body, with eyes showing some lingering anger.
Just like it had been in a fight with someone.
This time, the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle didn’t linger much, nor did it challenge the Spark Flame Cloud Falcon. After dropping the carp, it was about to leave.
Chen Yuan hurriedly shouted: “No need to bring fish anymore, we’ve had enough.”
The Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle didn’t look back, just spread its wings and flew high.
“You shouldn’t learn from this guy.” Chen Yuan turned to glare at Cola, who responded with a bewildered and innocent look.
“Being too stubborn is not a good thing, it often leads to hitting walls at every turn.” Chen Yuan spoke earnestly.
Cola tilted its head, though it didn’t understand Chen Yuan’s words, it cooperatively feigned understanding and nodded.
“Alright, let’s get going, time to go fishing.”
No plans for the day, so take to fishing by the lake.
This time, Chen Yuan vowed to change the Air Force fate.
And abduct that Run Run Duck.
Upon hearing this, Cola got excited immediately, sprinting to the front tricycle, plopping down on it, eyes shining with unprecedented brightness.
This excitement surpasses even the state after winning a battle.
A moment later,
The tricycle rolled slowly along the country road, Spark didn’t choose to stand on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, instead soaring high in the sky, with flocking birds steering clear from afar.
It was as if it were a king patrolling its territory.
Soon thereafter,
A man and two pets arrived at Mingyu Lake.
Compared to the previous times, the fishing folks by the lake were already few and far between.
Chen Yuan secretly laughed: “Looks like everyone’s the same as me, the Air Force folks.”
Finding a secluded corner, he then heard Cola issuing rapid calls: “Ow ow ow!”
He followed Cola’s gaze and saw, on a nearby large rock, a white figure sprawled, with a full and plump rear in sight.
Under the slightly hot morning sun, the figure basked in the sunlight, seeming quite leisurely.
Chen Yuan was stunned: “Haven’t found it yet, but it delivered itself here?”
