The next morning, Jiang He was jolted awake by a dog barking.
"Damn it!"
"What are you barking at?"
"Do you believe that I will break your legs?"
He rolled to his feet, only to find Dumbo sprawled over his bed, whimpering incessantly. Even when it heard Jiang He's scolding it, it made a human-like expression of being wronged.
"What is it?"
Jiang He was amused.
After whimpering for a while and realizing that it could not express itself, Dumbo promptly stood up on its hind legs and pointed outside with a paw.
Jiang He turned to look.
He could see his own orchard through the window.
Inside the yard, there was a field of green corn.
"Woah …"
His mouth hanging open, Jiang He promptly leapt off his bed, put on his pants and slippers, and ran outside.
"It really works!"
"I just planted the corn last night, and it's already so tall?"
He found that the corn was almost as tall as he was when he arrived before it. Its branches were thick, its leaves were green, and there were signs of ears growing. Jiang He counted twenty-eight corn stalks.
"No!"
"I randomly grabbed a handful of corn yesterday. I didn't count, but there are definitely more than twenty-eight of them."
Suddenly struck, Jiang He crouched and dug a few times on the ground.
A single corn grain was dug out of the soil.
He walked around the twenty-eight corn stalks and came to a realization. "These twenty-eight corn stalks were planted on the spot where the cucumber tree ashes were, which is why they grew so quickly."
He took a closer look at the corn grain in his hand.
It had already sprouted, and would have sprouted out of the soil if he did not dig it out.
"The growth cycle of corn is very long, and it would only be harvested around October if it is planted in March or April. It would take seven to eight days for corn seeds to sprout, but this corn grain would sprout in one day!"
"That is why the System works on normal crop seeds as well, greatly shortening the growth cycle of crops by up to eight times … I don't know if the seeds would have special effects for now."
Jiang He then turned to his System.
[Name: Jiang He]
[Cultivation: Quasi Martial Artist]
[Ability: None]
[Owned Land: 888m ²]
[Farm Level: 1 (EXP 1/50)]
[System Backpack: 3 boxes]
[System Shop: Unlocked]
[Farm Points: 499]
"Eh?"
"There's another experience value behind the farm level?"
His eyes twinkling, Jiang He thought, "Doesn't that mean my farm could level up?"
"Level 1 can shorten the growth cycle of ordinary crops by seven to eight times. What if I upgrade it to Level 2?"
"However, just shortening the growth cycle isn't enough. We still have to confirm if the ordinary crops will have a magical effect after being cultivated on the farm!"
Jiang He studied the System for a while.
The only thing that was worth it was his family's orchard. It was a little more than an acre and was 888m ².
"Whether or not ordinary crops will undergo miraculous changes after being planted on my farm will depend on these 28 corn stalks." With that thought in mind, Jiang He called out to Dumbo and barked, "Look after the corn. I'll hold you responsible if a single stalk is missing!"
After returning to his room and washing up, Jiang He took out a cucumber for breakfast and leisurely left the house.
Behind him.
Dumbo was whimpering incessantly, its mouth open and tongue hanging out, its saliva dripping all over the ground.
Xiu!
A cucumber flew in from outside the yard.
It was Jiang He who had thrown the remaining half to Dumbo.
He headed east and left Jinyintan Village. When he reached a place with fewer people, he suddenly sprinted, and soon arrived outside Two Dog Li's breeder's union.
"Impressive!"
"It's around four kilometers from the village to the breeder's union, and it took me four minutes … I'm running at around 15m/s."
Jiang He's heart could not help pounding after he did the math!
15m/S！
What did that even mean?
Usain Bolt's record was 9.58s per hundred meters, which was almost 10.5m/s. In other words, Jiang He could easily break the world record if he participated in a track meet right now!
"Moreover, I'm not using my full strength!"
"If I push myself to the limit, I would be even faster in a hundred-meter sprint!"
"My physique has improved greatly after becoming a Quasi Martial Artist, and it's not just my speed that changed — my strength has improved as well!"
Even as the thought crossed his mind, Jiang He knocked on the door of the breeder's union's director's office.
A slim woman dressed very sexily opened the door, rubbing her red and swollen eyes as she asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Are you Li Er … Li Fei's wife?"
Jiang He chuckled before asking, "I'm Li Fei's classmate, and I have some business with him. Is he around?"
The woman could not help crying at the mention of 'Li Fei'.
"I don't know where these wretched bastards came from, but they kidnapped Li Fei …"
？？？
Jiang He exclaimed in surprise, "Li Fei was kidnapped? That can't be, right? "
Society was stable now.
Li Fei's family was a little rich, but it was much less compared to the rich. Who would be so bored as to kidnap him?
Most importantly, the godly strength he displayed in the live stream last night could probably kill a burly man with a single punch. Who would dare to kidnap him?
"What actually happened? Did you call the cops? "
"I did …"
Watching as Two Dog Li's wife sobbed, Jiang He had wanted to console her, but found that he did not know what to say when he opened his mouth. As such, he quickly said, "Don't be sad, sister-in-law. Two Dog Li is blessed and will not die."
"Eh?"
Two Dog Li's wife did a double take, and could not help crying even harder.
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Jiang He quickly corrected himself. "That's not what I meant. Moreover, even if Two Dog Li is gone, there's still Two Dog Zhang and Two Dog Ma. You're so pretty, you'd definitely find someone to pick you up …"
"Ahem. Goodbye!"
Noticing that there was something wrong with Two Dog Li's wife's gaze, Jiang He promptly turned and left.
What kind of person is this? I'm comforting you out of goodwill, and yet you look like you want to scratch me to death?
"Still, Two Dog Li's case reminds me!"
"The country is still keeping the Revival of Qi a secret, so I have to keep a low profile or it wouldn't be good if I ended up being a lab rat like Two Dog Li." Jiang He was walking very slowly on his way back.
He thought to himself, planning his future development. When he reached his front door and looked up, he found a pleasant-looking girl standing there, blushing as she asked, "Jiang … Jiang He, have you seen my Dumbo?"
Well …
Old Wang's daughter?
Jiang He found the girl very familiar but did not know her name, and could not help asking, "You're Xiao Wang, right?"
