[Ding!]
[Seven-day gift pack has been delivered. Please check at your own discretion, Host.]
A golden brocade pouch appeared in his empty System Backpack as expected, and it opened on its own at Jiang He's thought.
[Congratulations, Host. + 1000 Farm Points.]
Damn it!
Jiang He cursed.
It was not Mysterious Soil.
Though a thousand Farm Points was quite good, Mysterious Soil was selling for five thousand Farm Points at the System Shop, which was a huge loss for him no matter how he looked at it. Still, Jiang He understood that it was the same as the sign-in gift packs and the seven-day gift packs in games — the items he received were random, and he should not hold too much hope.
Glancing at his System, he saw that he had planted several qi pellet trees over the last few days and used the ash to plant carrots and peppers, earning a lot of Farm Points. He now had over five thousand Farm Points left.
Including the one thousand points he got from the seven-day gift pack, he had over six thousand Farm Points.
"I'll go to the city and get someone to forge me a combat blade, and then plant a blade manual."
Jiang He ran into Wang Sizhen right after he left his house.
Jiang He's mansion had not been working over the last two days.
The Revival of Qi had left too much of an impact. With everyone in the village in a state of panic, would the workers still be in the mood to work?
"I'm sorry, Jiang He, but I've already done the work for the workers and would probably start tomorrow. You still have to live even if the sky falls, don't you?"
"Your mansion is at the final stage, and I could arrange for the plumbers to work the day after tomorrow. By the way, I'll get someone to move the bricks tomorrow morning about building a wall to enclose your yard."
After thanking Wang Sizhen, Jiang He mused to himself, "How about this: tell the workers that we're improving their lives tomorrow, and let them come if they can."
The rank-six Feral Wolves were huge and each weighed at least a ton. Jiang He left one to feed the dogs, and decided to reward the workers with the rest.
Most importantly, the cucumbers.
He still had over twenty cucumbers, and he could make some cold dishes with them tomorrow. Then, he would meld dozens of qi pellets into tea, which might change the physique of many people. When that happens, he could just blame it on the wolf meat and snake meat.
As for mass promotion …
Jiang He never thought about it.
"I'm not that great. It's fine as long as I can farm my little plot of land."
Sighing.
Jiang He stepped out of the alley to find that the villagers were gathered in groups of three to five, all of them talking about the Revival of Qi. Some were worried, some panicked, but most were curious.
"Have you guys heard? Old Li's Er Gou from the breeding cooperative is a Transcendent Awakened mentioned on TV. He's so strong that he can kill a cow with one punch."
Someone lowered his voice and spoke in a mysterious tone.
The others asked curiously.
The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched …
He suspected that the news was released by Doggy Li himself.
"Oh yeah, I haven't seen Doggy Li for a few days. With this guy's character, it's impossible for him to stay at home in such a low-key manner, right?"
Jiang He felt a little regretful.
At that time, he should have bought three or five more cars in one go.
The Raptor pickup truck didn't even have a license plate on it. It didn't even run for 30 kilometers before it was destroyed by him.
Sitting in a private car, Jiang He thought, 'I'll buy another eight cars when I get to the city and modify a few to be bulletproof or explosion-proof …'
"Hmm?"
His eyes suddenly lit up as he thought to himself, 'Since I can grow blades and pellets, why not try growing a car? When the time comes, I could strengthen it with some Mysterious Soil, and I might be able to grow a Transformer. '
That was when the car slowed down.
Jiang He glanced ahead. There were still five hundred meters to the next traffic light, but there was a traffic jam along the way.
"What's going on, sir?"
"We haven't even entered the city, and there's already a traffic jam?"
The driver, a middle-aged man, flashed a pained smile at that. "Isn't it the Revival of Qi? It's said that the Ferals outside eat people, and it's safer inside the city. Many people want to live in the city, and there seems to be a wanted criminal in the city these days. The checks are very strict. "
Jiang He paid the fare and got off the car. He would enter the city after the traffic light, and it would be better to walk since there was such a traffic jam.
He arrived at the traffic light, and found several armed police officers inspecting the cars coming and going. Aside from them, the Martial Arts Department (MAD) had sent people to help as well.
Wang Siyu was there too.
Aside from Wang Siyu, there was also a young girl with a hot figure and a lolita face.
Jiang He remembered her — Liu Xue or something.
Jiang He also saw someone familiar — Su Ze.
At the moment, Su Ze was leaning against a police car and eating a boxed lunch. He was the first to see Jiang He, and his body shuddered before he quickly put down his lunch box and jogged to him, smiling charmingly. "Why are you here, Mister Jiang?"
"Get lost!"
Jiang He scolded him irritably, sneering. "You dog. I only slapped you twice, and you actually had your martial uncle bother me?"
Su Ze's legs went soft and he almost dropped to his knees.
"It's a misunderstanding, Mister Jiang. It's all a misunderstanding, and it's all because of my pride. Moreover, I didn't think much of it and didn't even mention it to my martial uncle."
He was almost in tears.
Jiang He had killed his way into the mountains alone, wiping out a pack of Ferals and killing ten Sky Demon Cultists. How could Su Ze not know such a feat had spread throughout the MAD?
"Oh?"
Jiang He was half-convinced and half-doubtful. "Keep your guard up. I'll break your leg if I find out you're up to something … by the way, where's your martial uncle?"
"My martial uncle has gone into seclusion."
Su Ze wiped the sweat off his forehead. "He had gone into seclusion three days ago, and said that he would not come out until he ascends to grandmaster!"
Jiang He's eyes lit up.
Ascension?
It was just as well. Right now, he was looking for a grandmaster to spar with.
He laughed a few times, causing Su Ze to be confused.
What are you doing?
My martial uncle is cultivating in seclusion, and I'm not that excited even though I'm his martial nephew. Why are you so excited?
Wang Siyu and Liu Xue came to him as well.
"Brother Jiang He, did you catch a Feral baby for me?"
Liu Xue pouted. "I really like Feral babies!"
Catch, my foot!
That tone …
Jiang He felt very uncomfortable.
Still, he was a polite person, and he reached out to pat Liu Xue's head, saying, "Alright, I'll catch you some eels to play with next time."
As he spoke, he turned to Wang Siyu and extended their conversation, saying, "By the way, remember to come to my house for lunch tomorrow."
Wang Siyu pulled Jiang He aside and whispered, "Be careful, Jiang He. Two Sky Demon Cultists are on the run, and they might attack you after learning that you foiled their plans."
Jiang He frowned.
The Sky Demon Cultists …
Why were they so persistent?
He chuckled. "Would they dare to show up after you put up such a huge bounty?"
Of course.
It would be even better if they did.
