Chapter 48: Little Tree, Grow Up Quickly
Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Little Tree, Grow Up Quickly
Having temporarily dealt with the matters of the Electric Flying Cat, Chen Yuan finished his lunch and followed behind the swaggering Run Run Duck.
After eating and drinking well, it’s time to work.
As an employee on the farm, Run Run Duck obviously has this sense of consciousness.
“Quack quack~”
“Quack quack quack!”
It hummed the bizarre melody of the “Duck Duck Song” while taking a leader-like stride to the field.
Once it found the right spot, Run Run Duck sprayed a continuous thin stream of water onto six seeds buried in the soil.
Among them, the four on the left are Blazing Fruit seeds planted earlier, and the two on the right are Luminous Fruit seeds planted last night.
Compared to the first time, it is now much more skilled in controlling the water flow, able to precisely manage the thickness of the stream and the coverage area, quickly watering all six seeds evenly.
“Very nice.” Seeing Run Run Duck’s performance, Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, finally relieved to entrust this field to Run Run Duck’s care.
“Quack quack~”
Run Run Duck raised its eyebrows, smoothed its sleek hairstyle with its hand, and slightly lifted its tail in delight.
“Woof woof.”
Seeing its good friend being praised, Cola felt proud, raising its head with a face full of pride.
Not for nothing is it my good friend, woof.
Chen Yuan glanced at Cola, rubbing his chin, as a devilish whisper reached Cola’s ears: “Speaking of which, you seem very idle lately, don’t you have anything to do?”
Originally, Cola’s duty was to guard the house, but now with several Extraordinary Creatures on the farm, its role seemed a bit redundant.
“How about finding something for you to do?” Chen Yuan’s eyes glimmered as he muttered softly.
“Woof woof.”
Cola covered its ears with its paws, lying down on the ground, its fluffy tail sweeping back and forth, and shaking its head at Chen Yuan, blinking its eyes.
Master, what are you saying?
I can’t hear, I can’t hear.
Chen Yuan chuckled helplessly: “Alright, I’ll let you off for now.”
Cola’s immediate priority is still to improve to an elite quality, enhancing its own strength as much as possible.
Finishing his words, Chen Yuan was about to turn and leave, but heard Cola’s exclamation: “Woof!”
“What’s the matter? I just said you don’t have to do anything for now.” Chen Yuan didn’t look back.
“Woof woof woof.” Seeing the master wanting to leave, Cola hurriedly bit Chen Yuan’s pants and tugged him back.
Chen Yuan turned back in confusion, only to see Cola and Run Run Duck staring intently at the ground. Following their gaze, he looked down—
On the barren field, a tender green sprout stood tall, facing the morning sun.
Chen Yuan was taken aback: “It sprouted already?”
By his calculation, it had only been two days since he planted the seeds. Moreover, it sprouted right after being watered?
What kind of lightning-fast speed is this?
“But it’s possible, as plant sprouting is affected by many factors, after all.”
“With the current Spiritual Energy Revival, Spiritual Energy is greatly beneficial to vitality, plus the land cultivated by Iron Head and the water poured by Run Run Duck, sprouting in two days isn’t impossible.” Chen Yuan pondered, resting his chin on his hand.
“It’s a pity only this one sprouted.” Chen Yuan thought wistfully.
Then, driven by curiosity, Chen Yuan gently reached out to touch the lone sprout, feeling the miracle of life.
At that moment, a familiar data panel appeared before his eyes:
[Blazing Fruit Tree (Growing Phase)]
[Would you like to use Source Point to accelerate its growth? (One Source Point equals one month)]
Chen Yuan was stunned.
Why didn’t you say you had this feature before, system? Why keep it hidden?
Oh, I didn’t have Spirit Plants before, so never mind.
“I have a lot of Source Points now, let’s try using one.” After days of accumulation, Chen Yuan currently had 13.1 Source Points, enough to unlock the Commander Quality condition for the Flame Cloud Falcon.
Thinking thus, Chen Yuan didn’t hesitate any longer, and with a single thought, directly accelerated the Blazing Fruit Tree’s growth by one Source Point.
The next moment,
the tender sprout of the Blazing Fruit Tree began to grow rapidly with visible speed, its stem and leaves shooting upwards, more leaves appearing one after another.
Soon, the trunk’s prototype emerged and thickened, the crown expanded, forming more branches.
In just one minute, the sprout grew into a small tree about two meters tall.
This scene was nothing short of a miracle, leaving Run Run Duck and Cola dumbfounded, blinking in disbelief.
“Woof?”
After a while, Cola regained its senses and looked at Run Run Duck.
Duck, did you see that?
“Quack quack.”
Run Run Duck nodded repeatedly.
I saw it, duck.
Cola strolled over to Run Run Duck, whispering into its ear: “Woof woof woof.”
I told you Master is amazing, woof, following him is definitely the right choice.
“Quack quack quack.”
This time, Run Run Duck nodded seriously, full of conviction.
“Can it really grow this tall in just a month?” Chen Yuan, ignoring the two little ones’ interaction, looked at the small tree in front of him with emotion.
Even fast-growing eucalyptus trees couldn’t compare to the Blazing Fruit Tree.
“It might mature in a few more months,” Chen Qi speculated, suppressing his eager heart.
Source Points are limited and cannot be squandered lavishly, as unlocking the advancement condition for the Flame Cloud Falcon is way more important than the Blazing Fruit Tree.
If several Source Points are used, and the Blazing Fruit Tree doesn’t mature, that would be a big loss.
Letting out a deep breath, Chen Yuan gazed at the small tree basking in sunlight, his smile bright: “Little tree, little tree, grow quickly, once you do, I’ll eat all your fruits.”
A gentle breeze blew by, lightly shaking the tree trunk.
“You two.” Chen Yuan turned to the two small creatures whispering to each other, putting on a stern face, “I have a task for you.”
“Take good care of this tree, don’t let anything happen to it.”
“Quack quack!”
Recalling the miracle just witnessed, Run Run Duck tightened its little face, nodding emphatically.
As for Cola, it went without saying; any task given by Chen Yuan would be carried out with 200% effort.
Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, when suddenly his phone in his pocket started vibrating non-stop. Upon checking, it was the courier from the town:
“Chen Yuan, you have a package that’s arrived, come pick it up in town.”
Since Xuanhe Village is remote and hard to access, the courier couldn’t drive directly there, making villagers go to Nanhe Town to pick up parcels themselves.
“Strange, I remember not ordering anything recently?” Chen Yuan was puzzled.
He seldom orders online, preferring to go to town or the city for shopping when needed.
“Never mind, I’ll go take a look.”
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Yuan decided to head to Nanhe Town immediately.
Xuanhe Village is nearly twenty kilometers away from Nanhe Town, requiring a drive. Cola didn’t even wait for Chen Yuan to speak, already perched on the seat of the tricycle.
Chen Yuan shook his head, bypassing the tricycle to head towards an open area—a spot where a small car covered with tarps was parked.
This small car was a secondhand market find for Chen Yuan, worth only a few thousand, a vintage model from over a decade ago.
But as long as it drives, that’s enough.
After all, in this remote countryside, not having a vehicle means struggling to get by.
The main thing is the distance between Nanhe Town and Xuanhe Village; relying only on a tricycle takes a very long time and is very inconvenient.
“Woof woof.”
Seeing the car, Cola’s eyes lit up, and as Chen Yuan opened the door, it twisted and rushed onto the driver’s seat.
Chen Yuan grabbed Cola by the neck without any expression, pulling it out: “You don’t have a driving license, you can’t drive on the road.”
“Woof woof woof?”
Cola tilted its head, full of confusion.
What’s a driving license?
Chen Yuan replied concisely: “You need a driving license to drive legally.”
“Woof woof!”
Cola nodded thoughtfully, then barked loudly.
Coach, I want to take the driving test!
