"Doom Shrooms?"
"Interesting!"
Hanging up, Jiang He could not help chuckling. What would grow out of that?
Soon.
Outside, Dumbo was crying out, "Master, Master, the mung beans are ready!"
Jiang He arrived at his farm to find that the three mung bean trees were over half a meter tall, with green bean pods that were over twenty centimeters long hanging off each of them. There were a hundred of them on each tree.
It would not be a problem to harvest a dozen catties of mung beans, would it?
The occasional porridge would last him half a year.
[Ding!]
[+ 1 Farm Point.]
Each mung bean pod earned Jiang He one Farm Point. Though it was little, it was better than nothing, and Jiang He plucked every single mung bean from the three mung bean trees before taking out one and opening it for a look.
Once he opened it …
Jiang He was dumbstruck.
The beans inside the pod were … weirdly shaped.
"Damn it. Why are these mung beans shaped like bullets?"
There were a total of ten mung beans in each pod, but each mung bean was a glossy green bullet shape. Having a bad feeling, Jiang He picked up a mung bean with his fingers and studied it closely, and a bunch of data appeared —
[Mung Bean]
[Inedible.]
[Usage: Sword will used in conjunction with sniper rifle.]
[Attribute: Explodes violently after hitting target. Has powerful armor-piercing effect, ignores target's True Qi defense and physical defense when armor-piercing effect is triggered.]
Jiang He was furious right there and then. I just wanted some mung bean porridge. Was there a need to do this?
Did it mean that any crops that had anything to do with 'beans' were inedible?
Peas could turn into bombs, potatoes could turn into landmines, and mung beans could turn into bullets?
"Still …"
"That's a pretty sick ability."
"A powerful armor-piercing effect that ignores True Qi defense and physical defense when triggered … doesn't that mean even a normal person could kill a rank-nine or even a divine-tier?"
Of course.
Divine-tier elites' reflexes were too frightening.
Their senses were powerful too.
It was almost impossible for a normal person to snipe a divine-tier elite, since they would be noticed the instant they aimed. And how fast could a divine-tier elite burst in an instant?
He could easily dodge bullets.
Even a Rank-9 would be able to dodge bullets easily, much less a Divine-Tier.
Even if he managed to hit the target, the chances of him killing a rank-nine or divine-tier opponent was not high if he did not trigger the armor-piercing effect.
"Of course, that depends on how powerful the green bean bullet is when it hits its target. If it's weak, even a rank-eight would have a hard time killing it, much less a rank-nine … but if the armor-piercing effect is triggered and the bullet explodes inside the target's body, that would be terrifying."
Even a divine-tier powerhouse's body wouldn't be that strong unless they trained in body-tempering as well.
If the mung bean bullets exploded in his body, he might really die from the explosion if he was caught off guard.
"I just don't know how high the armor-piercing rate is, and how strong the explosion is …. Plus, it ignores zhenqi and physical defense, so there should be an upper limit. If there really is no upper limit, then it's too terrifying. Find some poison that can poison Emperor Beasts to death, or even stronger, and smear it on the bullet. Even if the explosion doesn't kill you, it will poison you to death."
Still, he did not have a sniper rifle at home, and the mung bean bullets were clearly sniper bullets. Since the gatling gun at home would not work, Jiang He gave up the idea of testing it on himself.
He estimated that it would not be a problem even if the bullet pierced his body. After all, his physique was not bad, and his muscles, bones, skin, and even his veins were immeasurably strong.
Each mung bean pod had ten mung beans.
Each tree had a hundred mung bean pods, which meant a thousand mung bean bullets. With three mung bean trees, Jiang He had harvested a total of three thousand mung bean bullets.
"I'll get a sniper rifle from the military after this, and tinker with it when I get back to see if I could plant an armor-piercing effect on the sniper rifle as well. When the armor-piercing effect of the bullet and the sniper rifle stack, it should increase the rate of armor-piercing."
"On the other hand, beans …"
"Maybe I can try to grow more varieties and see if I can grow more powerful ones."
Jiang He's mind turned.
Since he could not have mung bean porridge, he would not have it.
Moreover, it was almost eleven and lunchtime. Why the hell would he have porridge?
"Sora, don't cook porridge. Go cook."
With that order, Jiang He returned to his farm.
Inside the farm …
The corpse of the Graywolf King that he had planted before could be harvested.
A small tree that was less than three meters tall and had knotted branches was growing where the Graywolf King had been planted. It was not even three meters tall, but it felt as if it had been growing for centuries or even millennia. It was barren, with only a few yellowed leaves hanging on it.
And on its branches …
There were three fruits.
The color of the fruit was a little black, and it looked like it was spoiled.
"Why … are there fruits?"
Jiang He frowned. What the heck?
Was the System that capricious now?
Previously, when he planted Ferocious Beasts, they all grew Ferocious Beasts. It was quite in line with the law of 'you reap what you sow'. In the end, he planted a Wolf King, but it grew three fruits. Wasn't this too bizarre?
[Ding!]
[+ 10,000 Farm Points.]
Jiang He reached out to pluck one of the black fruits, and did a double take when he heard the System Notification jingle beside his ear.
That single fruit had actually earned him ten thousand Farm Points, the same as the divine-tier fruits that grew over the graves of the two Cardinals of the Sky Demon Cult.
He focused his gaze, and data appeared before his eyes.
[Condensed Pellet Fruit]
"Another soul fruit formed from the essence of daemonic pellet-pinnacle daemons. Consumption increases daemonic cultivator's chances of condensing a Daemonic Pellet."
"I knew it!"
Jiang He breathed a long sigh. The fruit …
It had the same effect as the divine-tier fruit.
Of course, there was a big difference.
The divine-tier fruit helped martial artists locate and break the divine-tier door, increasing their chances of ascending to divine-tier. On the other hand, the Condensed Pellet Fruit improved daemonic cultivator's chances of condensing a Daemonic Pellet.
Moreover …
From Jiang He's perspective, daemonic cultivators and Ferals were different.
Ferals relied on their own evolution to improve their ability, whereas daemonic cultivators were similar to human cultivators in that they cultivated Daemonic Qi, condensed Daemonic Pellets, and even grasped the Dao of the world …
"I could save these three Condensed Pellet Fruits for Dumbo and Trumbo … by the way, I wonder if the willow tree could eat them. I could keep them for the black panther if it doesn't."
Jiang He plucked the three Condensed Pellet Fruits and turned towards the spot where he planted the Nameless Sword Array.
The jasper tree was growing very slowly, and was only half a meter tall even now …
"Perhaps the Nameless Sword Array is more advanced and has a longer growth cycle, but there's no rush … hold on … what's this?"
Jiang He's gaze shifted towards the side of the jasper tree.
On the ground beside it, something was growing …
Bottle gourd vines?
That's right.
It was indeed a bottle gourd vine.
Having planted Bottle Gourd Brothers before, Jiang He naturally recognized what a bottle gourd vine looked like.
"Damn it!"
His face turned green at once, and he could not decide if he should laugh or cry. "How did the daemonic bottle gourd I planted grow into a bottle gourd vine? What the hell … would there be seven more Bottle Gourd Brothers? "
Jiang He was a little dumbfounded.
Wouldn't it be a huge loss if a daemonic weapon suspected to be a replica of the Immortal-Cutting Flying Dagger really produced seven Bottle Gourd Brothers?
Most importantly …
There were already seven Bottle Gourd Brothers.
And if there were seven more …
Jiang He's scalp crawled at the thought of fourteen brats hugging his thighs and calling him grandpa every day, and he felt like his head was about to explode!
Still, the bottle gourd vine was growing quickly, and soon bore fruit. Jiang He was a little afraid that the farm would be filled with 'Bigger brother', 'Bigger brother', 'Bigger brother' …
And yet, what he feared came true …
In mere moments, the seven flowers on the bottle gourd vine withered into seven little bottle gourds.
Jiang He: "…"
Was it too late to pull out the bottle gourd vine now?
