The red Transformer stood quietly at the center of the yard, and reverted to its sports car form with a single thought from Jiang He.
The car door opened and Jiang He sat inside.
Still, he was left dumbstruck after he sat inside.
Why did it feel like …
Something was missing?
"Hold on … where's my steering wheel?"
"Not even a gear lever?"
"Not even an accelerator or clutch?"
The workbench in front of him was an LCD screen, and there was nothing on it that could be operated.
Jiang He came to a realization then.
"As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. That toy car model looks exquisite and can change forms, but it's still a toy. It's fine as long as it looks good — who would pay attention to what's inside?"
"Doesn't that mean I've planted something that looks good but can't be used?"
Complaining inwardly, Jiang He punched the screen in front of him.
Ooom.
There was a soft hum.
A rainbow-colored light flashed on the screen, and then a row of options appeared.
"Autopilot?
"Audio and video playback?
"Gaud map?
"Mech form?
He stretched out his finger and touched the "Autopilot" option, but it didn't work. He tried a few other options, but there was no response.
Jiang He searched around the screen but did not find anything like a button.
"Could it be controlled with my mind?"
His gaze twitching, Jiang He muttered inwardly, 'Autopilot, park outside.'
Vroom ~
The engine rumbled.
The sports car drove down from the red leaf and stopped in front of Jiang He's house. Nothing was done throughout, and it automatically evaded obstacles. Most importantly, the car was moving steadily.
[Ding!]
[+ 1000 Farm Points.]
A System Notification jingled in his head.
Since the car had driven down from the red leaf, it meant that the harvest was a success.
Jiang He got off the car happily, finally understanding a little about the functions of the sports car.
"All I have to do is give an order and provide a destination. Moreover, in mech form … I would probably give an order and carry it out myself. It's a shame that this place is too small and I can't do that, or I could test how powerful mech form is."
When he returned to the yard, the giant red leaf had already been reduced to black ash, and Dumbo was scattering the ashes with a shovel.
Beside it, the Dragon-Slaying Saber was growing vigorously as well.
First, it grew two leaves, and in the middle of these two leaves, a saber hilt emerged.
The hilt was growing slowly.
After some thought, Jiang He went up and grabbed the hilt, intending to pull it out, but eventually gave up.
"Don't spoil things through excessive enthusiasm …"
He then moved a stool over and took out the snake meat. This time, Dumbo ran to him without needing to be told, breathing fire with its mouth, and soon, the aroma of meat wafted.
Skillfully sprinkling cumin, spices, and chili powder, he had Dumbo roast it for another dozen minutes before a golden-brown piece of roasted snake meat finally took shape.
Jiang He had a mouthful with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"It smells so good... Are all Class-Seven Direbeasts so delicious?"
"Fortunately, a Class-Seven Direbeast is huge, so I don't have to worry about not having meat to eat in the future."
He wolfed down the roasted meat and soon devoured it completely. It was only when he looked down that he found Dumbo and Trumbo crouching by his feet, drooling all over the floor.
He tossed out a piece of Rank-6 Vicious Beast wolf meat.
Dumbo hugged the meat and whimpered, gesturing at it with its paw.
Jiang He stared at it for a while before coming to a realization. "Do you mean that you want some seasoning?"
There was a look of delight in Dumbo's canine eyes, and it nodded vigorously.
Jiang He shared some cumin and spices with Dumbo, as well as some chili powder used for barbecue. Puffing its chest, Dumbo kicked away the Three-Tails Demon Cat beside it with a paw and whimpered a few times.
Trumbo was a rank-four Feral, but it did not have a temper at all. Instead, it meowed a few times.
Those two fellows …
Were they having a conversation?
Jiang He blinked, a little curious.
Did they want to barbecue their own meat?
Just as he had expected, Dumbo whimpered and instructed the Three-Tails Demon Cat to bring over a shovel.
The Three-tails Daemon Cat stood on its hind legs, its body bursting with a ferocious aura and becoming the size of a pickup truck. Its front paws were holding the shovel horizontally in front of itself, while Dumbo placed the piece of meat on the tip of the shovel and opened its mouth to breathe fire. It was only when the meat was almost cooked that it sprinkled seasoning and cumin powder.
"…"
Jiang He was left gaping at the sight …
Was that really a dog?
Rank-two …
Wasn't that fellow no less intelligent than a rank-seven Feral?
Could it be that dogs already had a high IQ, so after evolution, they became smarter?
Jiang He turned toward the yard.
Inside, the Dragon-Slaying Saber had matured.
A golden blade had been stabbed into the ground, its blade no longer having the golden radiance of a nouveau riche from before. It was an indescribable sensation, and Jiang He thought about it for half a day before muttering, "Aura. That's right. If a blade has an aura, it would be withdrawn now, leaving only a low-profile and noble."
Extending his hand and beckoning, a streak of True Qi shot out from the distance.
Snikt!
The Dragon-Slaying Saber flew into Jiang He's hand.
It was identical to how it was before it was planted, and Jiang He could feel an extremely sharp Blade Qi from it when he held it. If the Dragon-Slaying Saber was an average B-grade alloy weapon before, it had become a + 25 strengthened weapon after the farm and the Mysterious Soil.
Jiang He stared at the blade in his hand, and a line of data appeared.
[Dragon-Slaying Saber]
[Dragon-Slaying Saber, forged from the blood of golden dragons.]
[Attribute: Bursts out with dragon-shaped Blade Qi after charge.]
"…"
The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched.
What a load of bullshit.
Before this, Wang Mazi's cleaver was said to have been forged from meteorites after it was planted.
Alright …
He did not see the process of the cleaver's creation, and assumed that Wang Mazi had found a meteorite and forged it into a cleaver. On the other hand, this Dragon-Slaying Saber was forged by that old man who had awakened a hammer. What the heck, forged from the blood of golden dragons?
"It's lucky that this blade is golden. It would have been forged from black dragon blood if it was black."
After complaining a little, Jiang He put away the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
Taking out a piece of paper from his pocket, he smiled. "The blade has been planted, so all that's left is the blade manual!"
A blade manual was recorded on the paper.
Jiang He had personally copied it from a novel, and it was called the Ninefold Thunderblade.
Of course.
When he copied it, Jiang He made up a bunch of stuff to improve the power of the Ninefold Thunderblade appropriately.
For example:
"Mastery of the first fold of the Ninefold Thunderblade grants one more burst of dark force, stacking the strength to double one's own strength."
"Mastery of the ninth fold of the Ninefold Thunderblade grants nine bursts of dark force, ten times one's own strength!"
In other words, if Jiang He could cultivate the Ninefold Thunderblade to full mastery, a single burst of his blade would grant a tenfold boost and tenfold combat ability.
To differentiate tiers more clearly, Jiang He had added special effects to the blade manual.
For example, if one cultivated the first realm to Major Mastery, a single slash would produce a lightning saber that was ten meters long. The second realm would produce a lightning saber that was twenty meters long. If one cultivated it to Major Mastery, a single slash would produce a lightning saber that was ninety meters long!
Most importantly, it was cooler!
