CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 387: GOLDEN THIGH-STYLE BUG ITEM

[Public Welfare Order: Mining Pickaxe X20; Well Water X100; Watermelon X10. Order valid for one hour, no transaction of Gold Coins or Spirit Stone for public welfare orders, guaranteed rare materials drop]

"Mining Pickaxe? How convenient!" Jiang Yuan automatically ignored the later words, focusing solely on the items required by the order.

Seeing twenty mining pickaxes, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Initially, it was Yun Mo who issued a bounty order for a batch of mining pickaxes to have the rat spirits dig for Spirit Stones. Later, during the Lushan incident, Yun Mo was driven out by Eagle Twenty-One and severely injured. The mining work over there was soon taken over by his paper dolls.

Previously taught by Seventh Sister, Jiang Yuan specifically went to Lushan to retrieve the paper dolls and mining pickaxes, and now the public welfare order needed them. This waste-reusing method didn’t waste a thing!

He went to the well to draw a hundred portions of well water and took out ten freshly harvested large watermelons from the warehouse. He dragged all the items to the inventory and selected trade.

After a familiar pleasant jingling sound of gold coins, the system displayed a prompt.

[Order completed, rewards obtained: Nebula Pearl +1; Faith Value +10000; Additional Bonus: Obsidian Essence +2]

"What’s the additional bonus about?" Jiang Yuan’s main quest got stuck for a while due to the Obsidian Essence. Recently, the random material drops from public welfare orders hadn’t included this highly useful material, and suddenly, after completing a slightly peculiar order, he got additional bonus rewards for the first time.

He suspected that the system might have deliberately adjusted the data to ensure the smooth completion of the main quest, preventing it from being stuck for too long.

"The livestock shed can be upgraded to Level Four, and both the Alchemy Room and Mill should be upgraded too. The raw materials needed for refining Level Three Elixirs require simple processing, and some Spirit Medicines need to be processed in the Mill, so the Mill should be upgraded first..." Finally having enough upgrade materials, Jiang Yuan eagerly pushed open the Floating Market house door to return to the small courtyard.

It’s still a while before dawn, and the livestock in the shed are still resting comfortably.

Click on the livestock shed to upgrade, a cloud of gray mist enveloped it, faintly accompanied by jingling sounds, and after the progress bar completed, a brand-new Level Four livestock shed appeared glamorously before him.

[Task 4: Livestock shed upgraded to Level Four, completed. Reward: Unlock Intermediate Livestock Area issued]

[Task 5: Build a greenhouse. Reward: Advanced Recipe +1]

[Greenhouse: A building that can control temperature. Free to plant unlocked crops, unaffected by external seasons]

"Is there really such high-tech products?!" Seeing the new task, Jiang Yuan perked up instantly. A greenhouse is a great thing!

The current home has upgraded to Level Four, the seed section in the System Mall has unlocked quite a few seeds for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, once the greenhouse is built, autumn and winter crops can be planted in advance!

Crops like cotton, corn, peanuts can be harvested, and obtaining corn oil, peanut oil, and advanced recipes will greatly enrich the variety of cuisine that can be made!

And cotton can be spun into cotton cloth or turned into cotton wadding, making comfortable quilts and clothes, and the Textile Workshop can unlock a batch of new products...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he got; farming and harvesting are simply endless fun!

Opening the door to the newly upgraded livestock shed, indeed, just like the aviary, the original building walls completely vanished, replaced by a spacious pasture.

Half-meter high green pasture exuding a faint fragrance, the cows and sheep just waking from their daze wagged their tails, nibbled a few blades of grass and slowly strolled to the side to lie down and continue napping.

"Now we can raise sika deer, heard that venison is especially delicious and nutritious, let’s get two!" The Level Four livestock shed can similarly hold thirty-two animals. After adding two of each newly unlocked species, Jiang Yuan added two dairy cows, long-haired sheep, and long-haired rabbits, and casually added an alpaca.

Edible meat can be sourced from Carefree City where ready-to-eat Demon Beast Meat can replace meat produced by the livestock shed, allowing to accumulate as much wool, rabbit hair, and alpaca fleece as possible to supply the basic materials needed by the Textile Workshop.

Building a greenhouse, aside from basic materials like wood planks and stones, the rare materials were manageable, but twenty Obsidian Essences were quite a headache.

Last time, two were stuck for so long, so when will twenty be gathered?

[Upgrade Mill?]

Leaving the livestock shed, Jiang Yuan clicked on the small gear on the Mill, and after the system automatically filled the required materials, it popped up the inquiry.

Clicking "Yes," moments later the Mill was upgraded to Level Three, and then he noticed that the product list included "Reishi Mushroom Powder," "Ginseng Powder," and other common medicinal product.

Checking the details by clicking on these products revealed they are materials for Incense Making, Alchemy, and even culinary ingredients!

"No wonder seeds of these common medicinal materials are unlocked at Level Five, turns out advanced recipes include medicinal cuisine. But Incense Making requires ginseng and reishi mushroom?" He paused for a moment, suddenly remembering seeing "Reishi Immortal Herb Fragrance" somewhere, perhaps the ancient incense-making methods really do use these precious medicinal herbs.

Now the problem is Obsidian Essence, hopefully the system can adjust the probability to get more when completing public welfare orders, allowing for quicker completion of the main quest.

[Side Quest: Blue Bird]

[Task 2: Welcome Blue Bird upon completion. Reward: Building Duplication Card +1]

[Building Duplication Card: Select any building to duplicate at the same level, then paste to build in another garden, instantly gaining a building with the same level and function]

"Oh my gosh?!" Jiang Yuan was just about to enter the new instance to continue exploring, suddenly received the subsequent side quest. Upon seeing the reward, he was shocked and his eyes widened.

This is practically a cheat-level bug item!

He quickly glanced around the numerous buildings in the courtyard, finally his gaze settled on the Alchemy Room.

Must hurry to upgrade to Level Three, oh no, to Level Four to make Level Four Elixirs, and then use the Building Duplication Card to directly paste a Level Four Alchemy Room in the Netherworld’s Lotus Mountain second garden.

This way, elixir production can be non-stop day and night at both places simultaneously, while other cultivators have to struggle and spend big money just to get one Level Four Elixir, he could produce in batches, wouldn’t that be fantastic!

Of course, the prerequisite to enjoyment is to go and welcome the reincarnation of that Tribulation Crossing Realm Great Perfection Cultivator. Hopefully, this time she won’t mistakenly recognize her father again.

"What to do?" Blue Bird sat next to the completely shriveled Carefree Lotus, hugging her folded legs. Her tiny bare feet, freshly out of the flower core, were still bare, and her toes, pink like little jade beans, scraped the ground back and forth, "I’m going to starve to death... Boohoo, why did I lock myself in such a ghostly place?"

Seven days earlier, she successfully used the Immortal Jade obtained from trading to leave the confinement, freed from the flower core.

Although some issues arose in the plan, they weren’t essential at least she successfully reincarnated, washed away her congenital deficiencies, and came back with memories from her past life, determined to succeed in ascension!

With grand aspirations to stand on her past life’s shoulders for cultivation, Blue Bird was quickly slapped in the face by reality—she couldn’t leave!
