Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 99: Does She Like Snakes?
The apple tree would have mature fruit in four days. That was what the ghostly woman had told him.
He stared at the apple tree, examining it. From her perspective, he wasn’t sure what he was seeing, but for him... it was as if a tall apple tree appeared out of nowhere.
There were already blooming flowers everywhere on its branches, making one think that it would yield a lot of fruits.
This tree... was somewhat unusual.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t his area of expertise and he couldn’t tell what was unusual. Only when its fruits finally mature would he be able to tell once he tried one.
Lately, that woman had been more diligent in harvesting the crops, sparing him from another thing he needed to pay attention to. She was so excited about the vegetables seeds that she pushed him to complete the teleportation array between Leng Chuan’s village and Qingluan City.
"Is it done?" Su Yining nervously asked, her breath almost caught on throat, incredibly tense.
Her vegetables seeds were rolling away, slipping from her grasp!
Xie Ziyuan couldn’t answer. Of course, he couldn’t hear her! He was drawing the runes, filled with utmost concentration.
[Time remaining: 50 seconds...]
Su Yining didn’t even dare to disturb Yuanyuan, holding her breath. Her fingers away from the screen.
[... 30 seconds...]
Xie Ziyuan’s hand paused. No, it wasn’t finished.
Su Yining almost wanted to jump into her phone and shook him to continue. Didn’t he have any sense of urgency at all?
If only she could talk to him directly and not through a chat!
[... 15 seconds... ]
She could only watch helplessly as the countdown slowly nearing zero. But... It wasn’t Yuanyuan’s fault. He was simply unaware, just a cute silver wolf cub trying to do his best for the base.
[...1 second...]
Then, the countdown ended.
She exhaled, assuring herself there should be another chance. Maybe, she should check the game shop to see if there’s anything like seeds that can be planted in the base’s Green Sector.
Because she had fallen in a daze, she didn’t realize that the game had issued a notification. She only realized it when Xiao Lei was curiously looking over her phone, wanting to tap on the screen.
"Xiao Lei, don’t!" Su Yining could only watch helplessly as the little kitten stepped on the screen with its dirty paws. It had just tried to uproot the Devil’s Ivy again a while ago, dipping its front paws in the soil.
She sighed the moment she snatched her phone back, unsuccessfully trying to catch the little devil.
What kind of grudge does this stinky cat have with her potted Devil’s Ivy?
She took some tissues from the table and wiped her phone with it, sighing. The little kitten already ran away again, meowing smugly.
Soon, she widened her eyes when she turned on her phone screen again.
[Congrats! Rewards for the quest have been issued. Vegetable seeds: chili and carrots seeds. You can check your inventory]
She blinked before she quickly clicked her inventory, her fingers moving fast. There was indeed a red pack of chili seeds and an orange pack of carrot seeds.
Her lips subconsciously curled up in happiness. Her Yuanyuan did it! She poked him endlessly in his cheek, as if expressing her happiness.
Xie Ziyuan raised his eyebrows. Based on his previous conversation with her, the countdown for the seed rewards should have been over, right?
Sensing her poking him so much, he could guess her current mood. So, he concluded she must have gotten the reward issued by this so-called game.
He turned to Wei Rong, Duan Heng, and Old Wang who would watch him drawing runes whenever they had time.
In a calm tone, he told them, "it’s done."
Duan Heng blinked. "Is it really done? Can we go visit the base?"
However, as soon as he finished his question, he immediately corrected himself, glancing at Wei Rong stealthily. "I mean... if you allow us to take a look, we want to see the base too, Master Xie."
"This teleportation array can only carry one person per day." Xie Ziyuan told them. "Use it wisely."
On the other hand, the cooldown for the teleportation from the village to Qingluan City was the same as the village toward the base: 8 hours. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Seeing Xie Ziyuan didn’t object to his words, it meant that he had agreed! Duan Heng was quite happy while Old Wang became worried.
Originally, Old Wang went to find Xie Ziyuan because he needed his protection. Now, he hesitated whether he should stay in his store or go to the base...
"Master Xie, I heard from Wei Rong that you are intending to open a store here. Is it true?" Duan Heng asked.
Old Wang’s eyes sparkled. He loved showing off the items he had dug out, but they often invited trouble. If he had a backer, his life as a store owner would definitely be safer.
"Can I offer myself as the storekeeper?" Old Wang asked. "Just use this shop and you don’t need to compensate me, Master Xie."
Xie Ziyuan had intended to buy Old Wang’s shop. He couldn’t possibly use land and buildings owned by someone else; he wasn’t a robber.
In the end, the three of them became the storekeepers. Wei Rong was strong enough after he trained in the arena and received the fierce beast meat from Xie Ziyuan.
The battles made him undergo a huge change in terms of skill. He became better and more powerful—a suitable guard for their base’ shop.
XIe Ziyuan went back to the base. Now, it was time to wait for that ghostly woman to give him the vegetable seeds. Based on her thin patience, she would definitely want to see them grow soon and find out what their plants’ graphics would look like.
However, he made a wrong calculation this time.
The ghostly woman didn’t give the vegetable seeds to him. Instead... he saw the confused Fang Meilin standing in the hallway. In her hands, there were two packages of seeds.
"Master Xie, you are back," Fang Meilin greeted him.
Xie Ziyuan’s face darkened. Did that woman finally have found a better target now? This little female green snake...
Does she like snakes?
