Chapter 177: He Lin’s Sudden Visit

Now that she had enough Farmer Points, Liu Yun purchased five packs of Basic Strawberry Seeds, leaving her with only 15 Farmer Points.

After closing the Multiverse Farmland Store, she planted all the Basic Strawberry Seeds in Farmland Plot 001, gaining 50 Farming Experience.

Once she was done planting, Liu Yun watered the seeds. The action consumed 25 Farmer Energy and earned her 25 Basic Watering Proficiency and another 50 Farming Experience.

[Mature Time: 35 hours 59 minutes 20 seconds]

Seeing the countdown timer appear above the seeds, Liu Yun closed the Farmland Plot 001 Status Panel and exited the Multiverse Farmland.

Two seconds later, Liu Yun’s consciousness returned to her body. She opened her eyes and reached into her pocket.

Taking out a small black seed, she asked, "Hey, are you hungry?"

A second after she asked, the black seed rolled around in her palm, looking quite energetic.

Seeing this, Liu Yun took out a Basic Carrot from the Multiverse Farmland’s warehouse. The moment the Basic Carrot appeared on the floor, the black seed jumped out of her palm.

Before she could react, the black seed suddenly transformed into a little girl wearing a black dress. Without hesitation, the Mutant Queen grabbed the Basic Carrot and began gnawing on it.

Watching how happily she was eating, Liu Yun sighed helplessly. "Eat slowly. Nobody is going to steal your carrot."

Hearing this, the Mutant Queen paused. She raised her head and looked at Liu Yun for a few seconds before nodding and slowing down her chewing speed.

While the Mutant Queen was eating, Liu Yun opened the Multiverse Farmland interface. She then clicked on the ’Buyback’ icon, and a transparent blue screen appeared in front of her.

Seeing the interface of her Li Ming Small Shop displayed on the blue screen, Liu Yun muttered, "There are ten empty slots here, but I only have two types of products right now. Let’s try selling some pumpkins and see if anyone buys them."

Having made up her mind, Liu Yun moved five Basic Pumpkins from her warehouse into the first slot of the shop.

Ding!

[Please input the price for the product.]

Liu Yun thought for a moment before boldly entering a number.

Ding!

[Price for one Basic Pumpkin: 20,000]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

She hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the [Confirm] button. After registering the Basic Pumpkins for sale, Liu Yun moved twenty Basic Carrots from her warehouse into the second slot and entered their price.

[Price for one Basic Carrot: 5,000]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

This time, she didn’t hesitate and immediately pressed the [Confirm] button. Once she was done, Liu Yun opened her shop.

After closing the transparent blue screen, Liu Yun turned to look at the Mutant Queen sitting on the floor. Seeing that she had already eaten more than half of the Basic Carrot, Liu Yun was speechless.

"......" After a brief silence, she asked, "Hey, are you that hungry?"

Hearing her question, the Mutant Queen looked up. She nodded while chewing, then stared at Liu Yun expectantly.

’Master, I’m hungry...’

"Heavens!"

Startled by the soft voice of a little girl suddenly echoing in her mind, Liu Yun almost fell off the bed. She quickly steadied herself before looking at the Mutant Queen.

Swallowing nervously, she carefully asked, "Was that you just now? Were you the one talking to me?"

The Mutant Queen tilted her head slightly before nodding.

’Um, um. It’s me, Master.’

Receiving confirmation from the Mutant Queen, Liu Yun was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the floor.

Just as Liu Yun was beginning to question her sanity, something struck the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Coming back to her senses, Liu Yun turned toward the windows. The moment she saw one standing on the balcony, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

"Heaven! Why are you here?!"

Standing on the balcony, He Lin pressed his handsome face against the glass window. As he stared at Liu Yun, he smiled.

If not for the saliva dripping from his mouth, Liu Yun was sure she would have been stunned by his smile.

Patting her chest, Liu Yun took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. A few moments later, she got out of bed and walked toward the glass windows.

Standing by the glass windows, Liu Yun looked at He Lin and asked, "Why are you here?"

He Lin stared at her for a moment before pointing toward the Mutant Queen.

Following his line of sight, Liu Yun realized that he wasn’t pointing at the Mutant Queen but at the Basic Carrot in her hands.

"......" Don’t tell me he came here to beg for food.

Shaking her head, Liu Yun tried to clear her mind of such outrageous thoughts.

No way. He wouldn’t risk getting killed just for a few carrots.

Since she didn’t know the answer, Liu Yun decided to ask He Lin. "Did you come here to get some food?"

He Lin nodded and pointed at the Basic Carrot once more.

Now that she had confirmed that He Lin had really come to visit her because of the Basic Carrot, Liu Yun suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Rubbing her temples, she couldn’t help thinking, ’Heavens, what have I gotten myself involved in?’

While she was still speechless at this absurd situation, Liu Yun had no choice but to open the window and let He Lin in. It would be a disaster if someone saw him and reported his presence to the base authorities.

Unlocking the glass window, Liu Yun slid it open and stepped aside.

"Come in first."

Receiving her permission, He Lin hurriedly flashed her another bright smile.

Staring at him, Liu Yun could no longer hold back and said, "..... Can you wipe your saliva first?"

At her question, He Lin paused mid-step, then quickly wiped his lips on his clothes.

Seeing this, Liu Yun could only shake her head speechlessly. After closing the glass window, she walked back to her bed and gestured for He Lin to sit on the single couch.

Looking at him, Liu Yun asked curiously, "He Lin, how did you get into the base?"
