[Ding!]
[Seven-day gift pack has been delivered. Please check at your own discretion, Host.]
Still groggy from sleep, Jiang He rubbed his bleary eyes and looked at the golden brocade pouch in his System Backpack.
With a thought, the brocade pouch opened.
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one eggplant seed.]
"…"
Jiang He's spirit stirred, all drowsiness gone.
An eggplant seed appeared in his hand. It was similar in shape to an ordinary eggplant seed, although it was much larger and was the size of a coin.
[Cucumber seed.]
[Attribute: Cold resistance, drought resistance, high yield.]
Blinking, Jiang He could not help chuckling and muttered, "Interesting. First a cucumber, then a carrot, and now an eggplant. Luckily, I'm the one who got this System, and not a widow …"
Getting off the car, Jiang He entered his yard.
His mansion was completed, and the water and electricity renovations were completed yesterday as well. Wang Sizhen was planning a renovation plan for Jiang He.
In the yard, the cabbages that Jiang He had planted two days ago were now a field of lush green.
The cabbages were not planted on top of the ashes left behind by special plants, and so did not change. Moreover, Jiang He did not add nitrogen or compound fertilizers either. Why would he add fertilizers when his food must be organic?
In two short days, the cabbages were almost ready to be harvested. Each cabbage weighed up to fifty catties, and they were tender and looked delicious.
"I should have planted two if I knew. How am I supposed to finish planting so many?"
Muttering, Jiang He was about to pick up a shovel when Dumbo darted towards him. As its ability improved, it was quicker at digging, and it dug a small hole in just over ten seconds.
"Not bad."
Jiang He chuckled and threw the eggplant seed into the hole. Then, he exchanged for a compound fertilizer before burying the soil.
Beside him, both Dumbo and Trumbo opened their mouths, using their water-type powers to irrigate the cucumber seeds.
"Impressive."
Jiang He could not help chuckling. "Anyone who keeps two pets like this wouldn't have to pay for water when they farm in the future."
Bringing a stool over, Jiang He crossed his legs and sat on it, leisurely waiting for the eggplant to sprout.
About three minutes later, there was a slight cracking sound coming from the soil.
Jiang He was not concerned.
That was normal.
The eggplant seeds had been planted for some time. They had taken root and sprouted, so it made sense that they made some noise.
After another three minutes, two tender shoots broke through the soil.
At first, the two buds were pale yellow, but as the sun shone on them, the color of the buds began to change to a pale purple.
A faint purple eggplant tree grew rapidly.
Jiang He was not surprised.
So what?
He had seen a cucumber tree, a Qi Nourishing Pill Tree, and a money tree, so it was normal for an eggplant to grow into a tree, right?
After another twenty minutes or so, the eggplant tree, which had grown to the height of a person, began to bloom.
In the center of the flower bud was a small eggplant.
These eggplants were dark purple in color. At first, they were only a few centimeters long, but then they grew rapidly and became thick and long.
"Terrifying!"
"This eggplant is at least 27 or 28 centimeters long, right? And it's so thick. I reckon that one eggplant weighs a few kilograms. "
Jiang He estimated, and flowers bloomed in his heart.
Finally, he could add a new vegetable for himself. Before this, he had always thought that he would get sick of eating cucumbers, but it was only now that he realized that he would get sick of eating even the meat of a rank-seven Leopard Python that was hard to buy.
Planting an eggplant for a change of taste was just what he wanted.
After a rough count, the eggplant tree produced 99 eggplants. Jiang He reached out and plucked one —
[Ding!]
[+ 1 Farm Point.]
He stared at the eggplant in his hand, and a bunch of data appeared before his eyes.
[A thick and long eggplant]
"Effect: Rich in vitamin E, vitamin P, and other elements, with extremely high nutritional value. It has the effect of reducing swelling and stopping bleeding, clearing away heat, and prolonging life."
Jiang He's eyes lit up.
"The effects of things grown in the farm must not be measured with common sense … reducing swelling and stopping bleeding …"
Turning on the front camera of his phone, Jiang He glanced at his handsome face … gritting his teeth and steeling his heart, he found a brick from his yard and smacked it hard on his face.
Pow.
The brick shattered.
？？？
Jiang He did not know whether to laugh or cry … he did not feel any pain at all. His True Qi stirred to shake off the crumbs on his face, and he turned on the front camera of his phone again —
"There's no sign of damage on my face, let alone swelling or bleeding. Now that I've mastered Indestructible Diamond, my body is tougher than steel. How could a brick hurt me? Eh … "
Jiang He gasped in surprise and moved his face forward, exclaiming in surprise, "Why do I feel much more handsome after this brick?"
Putting away his phone, Jiang He looked towards a corner of his yard.
There, Dumbo was jumping around and going berserk at the air.
Jiang He even suspected that Dumbo was not a purebred wolfdog, and that its ancestor must have been a husky.
Soon.
Yip!
Dumbo's agonized cries could be heard from Jiang He's yard. Trumbo, who was snoring loudly in its sleep, shuddered, its black fur standing on end.
"What are you doing?"
A little speechless, Jiang He stuck his Dragon-Slaying Saber beside him and scolded, "I'm just cutting your skin a little, not killing you. Others would think that I'm abusing a pet if they heard you barking like that."
Yip, yip …
Dumbo's dog face was filled with grievance.
Cutting my skin a little?
Fine.
You really only cut a three to four inches of skin on my leg, but damn it, can't you find a small knife?
You almost scared the dog to death with such a huge knife.
"Stop f * cking shouting!"
Jiang He slapped Dumbo, stuffing the thick eggplant in his hand into Dumbo's mouth and barking, "My eggplant isn't enough to shut your dog's mouth. If you keep barking, I'll kill you and eat your dog meat."
Dumbo stopped barking just as expected.
The resentment and grievance in its eyes disappeared in an instant and was replaced by shock.
What was going on?
The three-inch-long wound on his leg was no longer bleeding?
Not only was it not bleeding, but it was also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang He nodded in satisfaction at the sight, smiling as if 'as I expected'. "Reducing swelling and stopping bleeding is not bad. Well then, as for prolonging life …"
His heart began to thump!
Could it really extend one's life?
Still, there was no telling how many years of longevity could be extended by eating an eggplant!
That was when …
A crisp voice could be heard from outside the door.
"Are you home, Jiang He?"
It was Wang Siyu.
She could not help showing a look of surprise when she saw the remaining half of the eggplant in Jiang He's hand, her slender fingers covering her parted red lips!
Wow!
Such a huge eggplant?
