After struggling inwardly for a while, Wang Siyu gritted her teeth and took off her clothes, stepping out into the swimming pool in her undergarments.
Jiang He stared at Wang Siyu without blinking and could not help praising, "Such a nice figure."
These words of praise were not the least bit against his heart.
In the past, Wang Siyu's figure was flawed.
She had fair skin, long legs, and a willowy waist, but the places that should be big were very flat. That, however, had been made up for with two huge corncobs.
Wang Siyu's face reddened even more at Jiang He's praise, and she whispered like a mosquito, "Stop looking, Jiang He!"
Naturally, Jiang He could not stop looking.
Taking out the Blazing Tomato and handing it to Wang Siyu, he said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll watch over you."
Wang Siyu took the Blazing Tomato and took a deep breath, suppressing the complicated thoughts in her mind. Opening her red lips, she took a small bite, and felt as if a flame was bursting in her mouth.
"Hurry up!"
Jiang He barked softly.
Was there a need to care about being a lady at a time like this?
She should not awaken before she even finished a single tomato, or the strength of her awakening might not be up to standard.
Wang Siyu didn't say anything and quickly finished the entire Fiery Tomato.
In the next split second, her expression changed, and her fair skin promptly reddened.
A similar scene unfolded before Jiang He's eyes …
"Ah …"
"So hot … so hot …"
Clutching her belly, Wang Siyu fell into the swimming pool. Scarlet sparks were leaping out of her body, and the water in the pool instantly boiled.
Jiang He reached out and grabbed, sweeping up the water with his mystic energy and sending it out the window. Then, he quickly went up to check, only to find that Wang Siyu's undergarments had been reduced to ashes by the flames leaping out of her body.
She had fainted, and there was a look of agony on her face.
Jiang He walked up and instilled a gentle stream of mystic energy into Wang Siyu's body, soothing her pain.
Soon, she adapted to the energy.
She adapted to this power, and the pained expression on her face gradually disappeared, becoming calm and serene.
The flames over her body were all withdrawn into her body as well, although her skin was still a little red. Jiang He put his hand on her chest to feel the temperature of her body …
It was hot.
At least seventy or eighty degrees.
If it was a normal person, they would have died a long time ago. However, for Wang Siyu, who had swallowed the Fiery Tomato, it was normal for her body to have a fever of 70 or 80 degrees during the awakening stage.
Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "It seems that the awakening was successful … but according to Zhou Xiaolan's experience, she would be unconscious for over an hour before waking up."
He thought about it.
Since Wang Siyu was a girl, it was inappropriate to leave her on the hard floorboards of the swimming pool. That was why Jiang He carried her back to his bedroom and put her on the soft bed.
Jiang He stayed by her bedside, extending his hand to take her temperature every ten minutes or so.
About an hour later, Wang Siyu's body temperature gradually returned to normal. The redness on her skin due to the high temperature also gradually faded. Soon, Wang Siyu slowly opened her eyes.
When she first opened her eyes, there was a bit of confusion in her eyes, which was somewhat similar to Zhou Xiaolan's after her awakening.
Jiang He guessed …
Perhaps it was due to the high temperature during the awakening that hit the brain, resulting in such a reaction.
It was a kind of …
It was probably the side effect of consuming the Fiery Tomato.
"You're awake?"
"How do you feel?"
Jiang He asked in concern. Wang Siyu rubbed her temples blankly, and only recovered after an entire minute. She then sensed her own strength and exclaimed in delight, "Jiang He, did I really awaken?"
"Yup."
Muah!
Wang Siyu cheered and lunged at Jiang He, kissing him.
After all, she had just woken up and was not even wearing her clothes …
Jiang He promptly refused and barked angrily, "You … you're taking advantage of me?"
He lunged at her.
No way.
He had to take her back. Would he still be Jiang He if he didn't?
Do you think you've profited from kissing me?
Sorry, you might have profited a little, but I, Jiang He … am forever! Far! No! Loss!!!
Everything that happened next was naturally indescribable.
…
An hour later, Jiang He was the first to come downstairs, instructing, "Sora, prepare dinner. We'll have dinner once Miss Wang is done bathing."
It was already night.
Soon, Sora served dinner, and Wang Siyu, who had just finished bathing, was coming downstairs as well.
Her hair was still damp, and she complained coquettishly, "Where's your hairdryer, Jiang He? I couldn't find it even after looking around … "
"Hairdryer?"
Jiang He could not help laughing. "You're a fire-type Awakened. Why would you need a hairdryer?"
Wang Siyu came to her senses then, and released her power to dry her hair. Beside her, Jiang He explained, "I've always believed that all superpowers are prepared for a better quality of life. Fire-type, for example, could dry one's hair, clothes, even grill, cook, and light."
"Earth-type superpowers could build houses and farms … water-type superpowers are even more useful. They could irrigate fields, and the stronger ones could even create artificial rain in a small area."
"For example, your brother's brain is very active. Metal-type superpowers could tie steel bars, which is definitely a good representation of the value of a metal-type superpower."
Wang Siyu did a double take at that.
Everyone was trying their best to think about how to use their superpowers effectively in battle … so why did the mood change when it came to Jiang He???
"Alright, stop spacing out. Let's eat."
After dinner, Wang Siyu insisted on going home … the little girl really could not take it anymore after her first experience, and was afraid that Jiang He would torture her again at night. There was no helping it … Jiang He was feeling miserable as well.
Could he be blamed for this?
If he had to blame someone, he had to blame the indecent Nine Heavenly Star Body Formula.
He was already strong in the first place, and yet he still wanted to strengthen it … what if he smashed the heavens?
After seeing off Wang Siyu, Jiang He called the maid who was tidying up the kitchen and took out the last Blazing Tomato, saying, "Sora, come upstairs with me …"
It was another sleepless night.
Jiang He only fell asleep at three in the morning, and slept until noon the next day. After washing up, he went downstairs feeling refreshed.
Sora had already prepared lunch.
"The taste of this ordinary rice is too bad …" Ye Zichen sighed.
After lunch, Jiang He stepped out of the mansion, his eyes landing on the two bags of rice that Li Fei had carried over yesterday.
Both bags had evolved to a certain extent. Jiang He opened the bag and took out one of the rice seeds, crushing the outer shell with his fingers to reveal a grain of rice that was as long as a knuckle.
The grain was plump and crystalline like jade.
Everything else aside, its appearance alone was enough to whet one's appetite.
Planting rice was a technical job. In the early days, when people planted rice, they would first use a small shed to grow the rice seedlings before transplanting them. However, as technology improved, everything became mechanized.
They would sow the seeds mechanically, and when the rice seedlings grew sparse, all they had to do was replenish them.
Mechanically, however, the rice seeds had to be soaked in water for some time. That was because there was a plant hormone known as abscisic acid on the surface of the seeds, which inhibited the seeds from germinating and growing. Soaking the seeds in water allowed the abscisic acid to flow away with water, allowing the seeds to germinate.
Jiang He could not be more familiar with planting rice.
Still …
That was when it came to normal farmlands.
You could plant a stone in your own farm and it would germinate. Why make it so complicated?
Hence, Jiang He carried the bag of rice seeds into his farm, instructing Dumbo and Trumbo to use their earth-type powers to carve out three Mu of 'rice fields', and then sprinkled the entire bag of rice seeds.
That was the experience Jiang He had learned after he obtained his farm, and after many diligent efforts, he just had to plant the Blind Princess's Eight Promiscuous Crops.
After planting the rice seeds, Jiang He had Dumbo dig a hole in the ground to plant the Doom Shrooms.
Jiang He calculated that each Doom Shroom would earn him 1,000 Farm Points, and since he had harvested 1,380 Doom Shrooms, it would earn him 1,380,000 Farm Points.
Of course.
That calculation did not include the cost of Mysterious Soil.
If he planted two Doom Shrooms per bag of Mysterious Soil, not only would he not earn, he would lose millions.
"After adding half a bag of Mysterious Soil, the yield of the Doom Shrooms would be 50 tons … the yield would be much lower if I don't add it … but that's fine, since I'm not a bomb maniac. Why would I plant so many high-yield Doom Shrooms?"
"I won't add Mysterious Soil to the remaining Doom Shrooms, and just add one nitrogen fertilizer to each."
Jiang He did some calculations.
At the moment, he had 48,000 Farm Points left.
There were a total of 1,380 Doom Shrooms, and he had 1,342 left after planting 38 of them.
"1,000 Farm Points per Doom Shroom, and after deducting 100 Farm Points per nitrogen fertilizer pellet, I would earn 900 Farm Points … 1,324 Doom Shrooms …"
"Three by three is nine, four by four is sixteen, nine by nine is eighty-one … it should be 1,207,800 Farm Points."
"I could earn over 130,000 EXP!"
This could be considered a considerable harvest.
Hence, Jiang He began to plant the Doom Shrooms.
There were 1,342 Doom Shrooms. Even with Dumbo digging the hole and Trumbo burying it, Jiang He still had to throw in the Doom Shrooms and nitrogen fertilizer pellets …
It was tough.
But how could farming not be tough?
Jiang He had always remembered a saying: when the heavens are about to bestow great responsibilities upon a man, they would first torture his mind and tire his bones.
He brought over a stool and sat under the shade of a willow tree, nonchalantly throwing the Doom Shrooms and nitrogen fertilizer pellets into the hole Dumbo had dug with perfect precision … and would scold Dumbo when it missed.
If you dug a bigger hole, would you be able to throw it sideways?
After planting the Doom Shrooms, Jiang He thought about it and took out three walnut-sized, pitch-black seeds from his System Backpack that resembled pebbles.
They were the Mysterious Seeds rewarded by the System.
Even now, Jiang He had no idea what the Mysterious Seeds were.
A bunch of data appeared as he looked at the Mysterious Seeds in his hand.
[Mysterious Seed]
[Attribute: A Mysterious Seed]
"Mysterious Seed … Mysterious Seed …"
Jiang He personally dug a hole and put in the pitch-black seed that resembled a pebble, sneering, "I'd like to see how mysterious your Mysterious Seed is. Could it grow a living person?"
