Magic Farm 100

Chapter 100: If You Get Rich, Don’t Forget Us, Second God (Bonus Chapter for 60,000 Nutrient Solution)

[OldCivil: Is it “NeedsSomeMoneyToSave”?]

Qi Yu: ?

[ILoveSurvivalGame: It’s him, how did you know?]

[OldCivil: Haha, because you usually talk so little and don’t really socialize. Besides the few of us in the group, the only other player I can think of who interacts with you is him.]

Plus, with the tags “not highly ranked” and “pretty lucky,” it was easy to guess.

[OldCivil: Of course it’s fine. The group was originally created for communication and exchange.]

It’s just that things got a bit complicated in the region, so they hadn’t added new members for a while.

With the confirmation, Qi Yu poked NeedsSomeMoneyToSave:

[ILoveSurvivalGame: I joined a small group. The players in there are all friends, really good people. You can chat and trade. Want to join?]

[NeedsSomeMoneyToSave: ! Yes! I’m in!]

Is happiness really falling from the sky? Had he finally latched onto a big leg, passed the game boss’s test, and was about to successfully mix into the boss’s inner circle?

Qi Yu had no idea about all his wild thoughts and just added him to the group.

[OldCivil: Welcome, new member.]

[Can’tOpenMyEyes: Eh? Welcome, new member!]

[SereneDistance: Welcome, new member.]

Qi Yu quietly followed up:

[ILoveSurvivalGame: Welcome, new member.]

[NeedsSomeMoneyToSave: Wow! All top-ranked bosses! Hello, bosses, your little brother greets you!]

……

NeedsSomeMoneyToSave was so naturally sociable it was almost scary.

Qi Yu had only been in the group for two minutes and already saw him quickly getting to know everyone, and they were already calling each other by nicknames.

He quietly closed the group chat. Good, next time he checked, he’d probably feel more like the newcomer brought in by NeedsSomeMoneyToSave.

Blue Star people’s social skills were truly intimidating.

He didn’t plan to go out this morning.

First, he wanted to get familiar with the shelter.

There was a staircase in the treehouse’s main hall leading upward, but he’d never checked it out.

He followed the stairs up, about a dozen steps, to a wooden door.

Pushing it open, his view suddenly widened.

Qi Yu stood in a daze, watching the cold rain fall from the sky, only to be erased by the invisible barrier on his mage’s robe.

He was now standing atop the glowing giant tree that supported his shelter.

Soft branches and leaves cradled his body. At this moment, Qi Yu was so far from the ground that he could easily gaze into the distance.

It was just like being lifted into the sky by Azure Wings.

He’d noticed from below that his treehouse only reached the middle of the tree.

With such a lush, thick canopy, there was no way it was just a dozen steps away.

What was this, a magic array?

He closed his eyes and, as expected, sensed a faint magical aura around him.

He traced the flow of magic with his hand, gently touching a certain spot.

In that instant, the entire giant tree “came alive,” its glow intensifying as intricate, mysterious magical patterns appeared on its trunk and every leaf.

Qi Yu jerked his hand back in shock: this massive tree that supported his shelter was actually a complete magic array.

Magic arrays could be used like this?

What had he been learning before?

It wasn’t even scratching the surface!

Qi Yu’s eyes lit up as he stared at the “Advanced Theory and Practice of Magic Circles” in his backpack. He wondered if this book would teach him something like this.

Teacher, I want to learn!

He tried to follow the flow of magic to understand the tree’s structure, but the array was far too complex for him to grasp.

In the end, he only managed to find the hidden advanced magic energy tower.

What puzzled him was that when he found the magic switch for the advanced energy tower, he instantly sensed the reason it was hidden.

A very obvious feeling of disdain: it disliked being such a big, floating thing above the shelter—so unsightly.

Qi Yu actually thought it was pretty cool.

But he couldn’t modify the array now, so the advanced energy tower could only stay hidden unless the territory was threatened.

Qi Yu loved this feeling of being high up, so close to the sky.

But something else was calling to him.

He didn’t bother with the portal, just stood atop the dozens-of-meters-tall tree, spread his arms, and leapt—

His body plummeted, the wide mage’s robe whipping in the wind and rain, his eyes shining with exhilaration.

A pair of azure wings appeared out of nowhere, catching his falling body. The wind became gentle, lowering him softly to the ground.

Fun.

Qi Yu walked toward the garden. If not for the lingering excitement in his star-bright eyes, no one could have guessed from his calm expression that he’d just done something so “reckless.”

This was the first time Qi Yu had really looked at the garden he’d received from upgrading to Level 3 Shelter.

Last night, when he placed the garden, it was already dark. He’d been busy reorganizing his territory, planting black ancient trees, killing swifts—there was no time to appreciate his new building.

Now, after a proper look, all he could do was circle the garden once and squeeze out two sentences:

“So many flowers.”

“Really beautiful.”

As he approached each flower, the survival panel would display information:

Smokevine, Narcissus, Pink Crystal Lily of the Valley…

Qi Yu barely remembered the names before heading over to check on the Golden Apple sapling.

Maybe it was because it was closer to the goddess statue, but the Golden Apple sapling now had a rare “Excellent Mood” status above it.

“Praise the Goddess of Nature.” Qi Yu placed his hand over his heart and saluted the statue, then looked at the sapling and sincerely wished, “I hope you grow up quickly.”

Just then, he felt a wave of resentment coming at him.

Startled, Qi Yu looked over and saw it was the Seven-Colored Flower.

It looked angrier than usual, its pink petals pulled back, once again a puffed-up little bud.

[I want to snuggle with the goddess too!]

[Snuggle with the Golden Apple tree!]

[Live in the fragrant garden!]

[It keeps raining, I’m so annoyed!]

[Angry angry angry angry angry angry!]

“……”

Just getting a little closer, a torrent of emotions came flying at him.

Qi Yu: “……”

His first thought was: if you ranked them by intelligence, the Seven-Colored Flower was probably one of the smartest plants in his territory.

It spoke the most fluently and expressed its feelings the best.

Unlike the Demon Vine next door, which, after eating so much, could only cry about being hungry.

Qi Yu satisfied the Seven-Colored Flower’s wishes, moving it—roots and all—into the empty space on the other side of the goddess statue, so it and the Golden Apple sapling flanked the statue.

The effect was immediate: he saw a string of pink heart bubbles appear above the Seven-Colored Flower.

[Happy.]

Good, the little grump was finally not angry anymore.

Qi Yu walked toward the small lake.

He passed through a patch of Mist Star Flowers and reached the rocking chair and fishing rod.

He sat down.

[Today’s catch has been collected. Please check, player.]

There was a splash in the bucket.

Qi Yu turned to look and saw a silvery-white, unfamiliar object resting quietly at the bottom.

[Goddess of the Moon Shell (Blue): A very rare species, loves basking in moonlight. After absorbing enough moonlight, it will produce a rare type of pearl, the Goddess of the Moon Pearl.]

[Goddess of the Moon Shell is inedible. Recommended for freshwater cultivation.]

Can’t eat it, needs freshwater, and moonlight.

Qi Yu thought of the Star Forest, where it had rained for over twenty days straight: …

So pitiful, not a single moonbeam to bask in.

He bent down and placed the shell in the small lake.

This lake was clearly not just an ordinary lake—who knew what strange dimension it connected to. Hopefully the shell could find its own way to freedom.

He cast his line into the water, fishing while opening the survival panel.

Trading section: all three thousand down jackets had sold out.

Qi Yu collected the proceeds.

All his swift feathers had been made into down jackets—a total of 1,200 sets, earning him Level 1 Beast Crystal x3,600.

Adding in the beast crystals from killing swifts, he now had Level 1 Beast Crystal x39,632, Level 2 Beast Crystal x2,650.

Good, his wallet felt a bit fuller again.

But compared to doing business, it was still much faster to just kill swifts for loot.

Qi Yu looked regretfully at the black ancient trees in his territory.

From late last night until dawn and even now, his territory had been peaceful.

The swifts were still too timid.

He opened the region channel. Lots of people were @ing him, asking if he had more down jackets for sale.

[ILoveSurvivalGame: None left, I’m out of materials.]

[BeAGoodPerson: I got a down jacket set, hehe. But game boss, you could charge a processing fee like JinYinTongTie does, with players supplying their own materials.]

Qi Yu didn’t hesitate:

[ILoveSurvivalGame: Too much trouble, not doing it.]

[ByTheRoad: …This is what a true boss is like, not even caring to earn beast crystals.]

[BeAGoodPerson: Game boss, forget the down jackets for now. When will you restock Screaming Lily of the Valley? What about Sunlight Sunflowers—when will those be available again?]

As soon as this was said, the region channel was flooded with agreement.

Qi Yu saw their comments and finally remembered: the plants he’d sold had a 15-day duration.

Because the Sunlight Sunflowers he’d planted hadn’t withered, and the Screaming Lily of the Valley had even evolved, he’d forgotten all about it.

[ILoveSurvivalGame: It’s been raining nonstop, hard to plant.]

Before he had the temperature-control magic array, all the plants had negative low-temperature statuses.

With the array, he could keep planting, but he’d been busy every day with new things, and was especially eager to learn.

Especially in the past two days since the swift points event started, he’d had no time for anything but grinding points, so he’d put everything else off.

He still hadn’t had time to study the two skill books he’d been longing to read.

It was only because the swifts seemed to have been scared off today that he finally had some free time to handle other things.

Someone else who was just as busy was Shen Ben Wuxiang.

He’d been stunned by the sudden windfall of 100,000 swift meat.

After recovering, he quickly posted in the group.

[Shen Ben Wuxiang: Info €€ Swift Meat—guys, how much do you think this stuff is worth in beast crystals?]

[I’llRetreatNow: ? Swift meat, 1g is like 500ml of drinking water? Second God, this stuff isn’t from our region, right?]

[Shen Ben Wuxiang: ? Why do you care so much?]

[LiErgouHere: Second God, I’ve long suspected you. Emerald peaches, seafood feasts, mini alchemy air conditioners, and now swift meat…]

[TheSunRoseInTheWest: Exactly! We all suspect it!]

[BrightFuture: All suspect!]

[I’llRetreatNow: Second God, did you secretly marry into a rich family behind our backs?]
