Cultivation Pet Shop

In the end, they decided to drop this topic because there wasn't anything else they could do for her.

The only thing they could do was watch over Song Shu and slowly let her memories come back, which they would since they had already been stimulated.

So Elder Hua and Elder Gu left and there was a calm period after that since most of the customers that normally came to the store came in the morning when there were training spots or new stock of pet food. The only thing that was in the store in the afternoons were the special elixirs which were generally too expensive for normal people to buy.

The day passed and the next morning, Song Shu had gone back to her normal self.

When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help shaking his head as he said with a sigh, "Kids really do recover fast. It hasn't even been a day and she's back to normal."

But he was also happy to see this since after being with these kids for a bit, their happiness had rubbed off on him a bit.

Then during the normal morning rush, there was suddenly a notification that came from the system.

"Host, the first cultivation realm farm has been completely developed. Please prepare to build the second cultivation realm farm."

This had been something that Lin Fan had been waiting for a long time, it had already been close to two months since he established the first cultivation realm farm.

He had logged in daily to build new units and new buildings, so now he had an industrial system set up on that lower cultivation realm. There were several different command centers located all over the planet, each one with different buildings and several missile and auto turrets placed at each command center.

Lin Fan had already gone past the normal marines and were already building hellions, siege tanks, and thors. Each one of these units were in the Legendary Realm.

With this supreme army, he had his units patrol the planet and wipe out any dangerous elements that lurked there. As for the ones that didn't attack his army and allowed his SCVs to continue farming, he left alone since he didn't plan on destroying this world.

Lin Fan had wanted to expand before, but the system had told him that before he could expand to the second farm, he had to fully colonize this world first. Now that his SCVs were mining in every part of this world and were utilizing all of its energy, he was finally allowed to build his second farm.

When Lin Fan pulled up the interface, he found three different worlds were available to him.

There was a world that was completely blue as it was covered in oceans, there was a world that was completely green as it was covered in grasslands, and there was a world that was completely brown as it was covered in various rock formations.

But the strange thing was that when Lin Fan scrolled his finger of the brown planet, there was a warning that popped up that said, "Warning, this planet has dangerous elements on it. Please be aware that the difficulty will be higher."

Lin Fan was confused by this, so he asked the system, "System, what does this warning mean?"

"Host, as the warning says, this planet will be much more difficult to build a farm on compared to the other two planets. But with greater difficulty, there will be greater reward."

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Greater rewards, didn't that mean more higher grade elixirs?

He didn't know why, but his store was slowly making more and more enemies, so he definitely needed more resources to make himself stronger. While this might seem a bit more dangerous, it was worth the risk.

Lin Fan chose the brown planet without hesitation.

Once he did, the system asked him to choose three units to bring with him to the new realm.

Lin Fan thought about it before deciding to bring two hellions and one siege tank.

His idea was that he could use the hellions for quick scouting and he could use the siege tank for defense. It wouldn't take him long to start spamming out marines, so it would be easy to build defenses with the siege tank as the core.

Once he was done with his choices, Lin Fan's spirit was sent to the new cultivation realm with a command center, three SCVs, two hellions, and one siege tank.

When he arrived, Lin Fan quickly gave the order to the hellions to start scouting the area while having the siege tank position itself by the command center for protection. At the same time, he had the SCVs immediately start gathering resources since he didn't know what to expect from this realm. Since there was a warning from the system, it would mean that it wouldn't be a normal level of hard.

Very soon, Lin Fan had gathered enough resources to build a barracks and a few supply depots, allowing Lin Fan to quickly build several marines.

But of course, Lin Fan didn't forget to build several SCVs at the same time to increase his resource gathering potential.

Soon, Lin Fan had finished building the foundations of his base and his hellions had finished scouting out the immediate area. Based on their reports, there didn't seem to be anything that special around this area other than a few beasts made of rocks which the hellions easily kited with their speed.

When Lin Fan was about to send out his SCVs to extract the resources from the corpses of these beasts, the hellions suddenly encountered something.

Out from behind the rocks near the hellions, there were suddenly several bugs that had appeared. These bugs were the size of dogs with twin scythes and were running on four legs.

The moment Lin Fan saw the image of these bugs on the feed from the hellions, he immediately recognized them. They were the second of the three famous races of Starcraft, they were the Zergs!

Lin Fan immediately ordered the hellion to retreat, but the zerglings had already locked onto it. The one good thing was that zerglings were still basic melee units while the hellion was an advanced unit. This difference was made even more clear in this cultivation world.

These zerglings were all only in the Bronze Realm, while the hellion was already in the Legendary Realm.

The hellion kited the zerglings until they lined up and with a single flamethrower burst, it burnt all the zerglings to a crisp. That was the power of a fully upgraded hellion against five basic zerglings, it wasn't even a contest.

But the fact that there were zerglings here, meant that there was a hatchery near here. 

Then if one followed the rules of bugs in the real world, there must mean that there was a queen leading them.

Lin Fan immediately asked the system, "System, what is going on here? Why are there zerglings?"

"Host, you have encountered another player. Please defeat them and claim this cultivation realm."

Lin Fan was shocked, "Another player? What do you mean by another player?"

…

On the side of the zergs, inside a basic hatchery, there was a woman who had sharp bug talons on her back and deep green skin. 

If Lin Fan was here, he would have recognized her as the famous Queen of Blades!

This queen had been resting in the nest when she suddenly saw one of the zerglings come over.

The zergling just stood in front of the queen and communicated telepathically to it.

When the queen heard its report, she suddenly stood up and said in a strange language, "Are you sure that is what you saw?"

The zergling said a few more things telepathically which made the queen suddenly reveal a smile.

The queen then said, "Well, it seems like there's someone else trying to take this planet as well. We'll have to show them the power of our Bug Race."

As she said this, the smile on her lips became even wider.

It had been quite a while since she had some fun, she was looking forward to this.

…

On Lin Fan's side, the system had slowly explained the concept of another player.

When it came to cultivation realm farms, these were actual realms that were being used as farms, which was something that the races that ruled this universe commonly did. This meant that if Lin Fan continued to build his cultivation realm farms, he would have eventually encountered other races that were also building farms.

It was just his luck that he met the Bug Race first, which was similar to the Zerg race of Starcraft. But if he continued, he would have met all kinds of different races that would have been trying to cultivate realms.

Still, even if he did encounter them, there was only one thing he could have done. 

In this world, it was the law of the jungle, so the only thing he could do was defeat them and take this world for himself.
