Under the moonlight.
Jinyintan Village.
Jiang He had brought over a stool and was scrolling through his phone in the yard, bored out of his mind.
"What's going on?"
"It's been half an hour, and there's no reaction at all?"
"Could it be that the farm can't plant corpses … hold on, could I have forgotten to put in nitrogen fertilizer?"
Slapping himself on the head, Jiang He flashed a pained smile. "It's clearly not the right time to use nitrogen fertilizer now. I should just add some Mysterious Soil."
He took out the small bag that contained the mysterious soil from his Backpack and poured out about one-tenth of the total amount.
There were two effects of Mysterious Soil.
1. It strengthens plants.
2. It changes the soil environment in a short time.
After digging a little more, Jiang He threw in the tenth of the Mysterious Soil.
He checked the time. It was almost two in the morning.
"I'll sleep first. We'll know tomorrow morning whether I plant it or not."
Yawning, Jiang He returned to his room, only to be woken up by Dumbo's barks the next morning.
After putting on his clothes and walking out of the room, he saw Dumbo standing in the yard, barking incessantly at the yard, where a small tree that was over two meters tall had grown.
The tree's branches were lush, and a jet-black cat was hanging among the leaves.
It was just a little larger than an average cat, but its aura was very powerful, and it had three tails.
Jiang He turned.
A row of data appeared.
[Three-tailed Demon Cat]
[Tier: Rank-Three Pinnacle]
[Ability: Wind Rider]
Jiang He's expression changed at those few lines, and he muttered, "What's going on? I've only planted a rank-one Demon Cat's corpse, but it grew into a rank-three Demon Cat … "
"The effect of Mysterious Soil?"
He came to a sudden realization. "It must be the dual effect of the Farm and Mysterious Soil. Not only did it evolve the Demon Cat into a rank-three Feral, it even triggered its ability!"
It was an ability similar to humans' superpowers.
For example, Jiang He had seen a short video where someone filmed a scarlet fox in Daxing 'anling that could breathe flames. It was an ability as well.
"If that's the case, wouldn't I grow a rank-three Daemon Dog after I kill Dumbo and plant it again?"
Jiang He glanced at Dumbo then.
Dumbo appeared to understand what Jiang He was thinking, and promptly shuddered all over before standing on its hind legs and offering Jiang He a fist-palm salute, even acting cute …
"…"
This dog had really become a spirit!
As Ferals evolved, their intelligence would improve as well. It was said that most rank-seven Ferals would not lose out to adult humans in terms of intelligence, but Jiang He estimated that Dumbo had already reached that level.
Kicking Dumbo away, Jiang He walked up to the sapling and plucked the Three-tails Demon Cat.
"Ding!"
[+ 200 Farm Points]
The system notification sounded in his mind.
Jiang He glanced at the System Panel and found that his farm's EXP had increased by 20 points.
"Meow!"
A cat meowed.
Meanwhile, the Three-tails Demon Cat came to life and crawled into Jiang He's arms, nudging its head against him in a coquettish manner.
"The ferocious beasts planted in the farm are 100% loyal to me. They will never betray me." Jiang He understood it then, and appeared delighted as he put the black cat in the yard, saying, "From today onwards, you and Dumbo will guard the house together."
It would be nice to have a cat.
He could stroke it when he had nothing to do.
"By the way, I should give you a name."
Jiang He mused to himself for a while before muttering, "It's entirely black. Black Emperor? No, no, that name is too domineering. How about Xiao Hei … hmmm, since it has three tails, I'll call it Trumbo. That would make a pair with Dumbo. "
The Three-tails Demon Cat was so happy that it rolled in the dirt at the mention of Trumbo.
Dumbo, on the other hand, had a bitter look on its face and was howling in extreme displeasure.
Hence, the sapling crashed to the ground, turning into a pile of black ash.
Jiang He scattered the ash with practiced ease, and sprinkled a bag of carrot seeds over it.
With that done, the 'money tree' began to blossom and bear fruit.
Watching as the coins rapidly turned into banknotes until the denomination grew to a hundred dollars, Jiang He plucked off the hundred-dollar bills and wiped his forehead like he was sweating, saying in satisfaction, "Actually, farming feels great. If there were no ferocious beasts or extraterrestrial demons, it would be great to walk the dog, pet the cat, and farm every day."
The other corns in the yard that were not planted on the ashes could be harvested as well.
Still, there was nothing special about the corns.
The only thing special about them was that the corn cobs were a little bigger, and they did not even contribute any Farm Points.
Jiang He hence chopped down all the corn cobs and stalks and fed them to his neighbor's sheep.
After a busy morning, Jiang He only had some free time around nine. He made a cucumber salad and bought two steamed buns for breakfast, and just as he finished eating, Wang Siyu arrived.
She was wearing a tracksuit and had her hair tied up in a single ponytail, her entire body brimming with youthfulness.
She was holding a document and handing it to Jiang He.
Written on it were words like 33C, 34C, 36C, and 36D.
"What's this?"
Jiang He was a little confused after a look, and only came to a realization when he looked at Wang Siyu, exclaiming in surprise, "It's that effective? You're already a 36D? I couldn't tell! "
"Piss off!"
Wang Siyu rolled her eyes at Jiang He, her tone rather coquettishly.
Still, she soon recovered and said seriously, "The party has sent me the information you need. Let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send it to you."
After adding each other, the information was sent.
Jiang He opened it on the spot and studied it.
There was actually nothing secretive about the information, and it generally described the powerful Ferals that had been born since the Revival of Qi ten years ago, as well as some simple information about powerful Awakened.
Jiang He's gaze then reached the introduction of the Ferals.
"Feral Kings … existences beyond rank nine? Even nuclear bombs would have a hard time killing them? "
"Nine Feral Kings have actually been discovered within Hua Nation borders?"
"The Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle of Mount Kunlun of the Western Frontier, the Scarlet Fox King of Daxingan Mountains, the Silvermoon Wolf King of Mount Tian, the Nine-Headed Serpent King of Lake Panlong … hold on. Could Mount Dadong have used a nuclear bomb that day …"
Jiang He looked up at Wang Siyu then.
Wang Siyu's expression was somber as she said, "The Wolf King of Mount Dadong has been named the Graywolf King, and it is confirmed to be a Feral King above rank-nine. It is the tenth Feral King discovered within Hua Nation borders, and the nuclear bomb was indeed used to deal with it, although it did not kill it. Still, it is said that the top elite of Xibei had ventured deep into Mount Dadong to hunt it down. There is no word on the specifics."
"Gasp!"
