Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 290 - 282: Double-Yolk Duck Egg

"Little Cliff Bees, there aren’t any herbs at home for now, so you’ll have to go out and forage yourselves."

Before Han Qiwu even finished speaking, a few Cliff Bees impatiently darted around him and flew outside.

Suddenly, Han Qiwu felt like he was a bit superfluous here...

Forget it, time to hatch some snowball eggs.

Han Qiwu headed towards the icy, snowy landscape.

Fortunately, the Little Prince and Little Shui were out; otherwise, the medium snowball soon to be hatched might have turned into a volleyball again.

Opening the incubator, Han Qiwu skillfully named the snowball inside "Medium Snow" and glanced at its stats—it was identical to Big Snow’s.

Upon seeing its kind, Big Snow happily started bouncing around again.

"You two play slowly, okay? I’ll find some workspaces for you later," Han Qiwu chuckled, setting down Medium Snow before heading to the phoenix tree coop.

Time to collect some eggs.

As soon as he reached the phoenix tree coop’s entrance, he was pleasantly surprised to see the shimmering outlines of one large and eight small eggs hovering nearby—nine in total.

"This many?"

Han Qiwu quickly stepped inside and methodically collected from each chicken nest.

Apart from the terror bird, every other hen had laid one regular egg and one large egg!

"Looks like that Lusou meat really packs a punch," Han Qiwu said cheerfully.

In that case, the output from the mayonnaise machine at home definitely can’t keep up.

Better make a few more of them.

Everything else was manageable, but the main issues were emeralds and lumber.

Lumber would have to depend on the Little Prince, and as for emeralds, mining was his only option.

After finishing up with the eggs, Han Qiwu glanced over at Hongyan Tower.

Another delightful surprise awaited him.

The fire duck had also laid an egg.

Walking into Hongyan Tower, Han Qiwu immediately spotted a green-tinged, elliptical duck egg beneath the fire duck’s nest.

While the fire duck was still busy eating, Han Qiwu quickly stepped up and picked it up.

[Double-Yolk Fire Duck Egg (Silver-Star Quality☆)]

[Stamina +50]

[Health +40]

[Note: It can be turned into salted duck eggs in a small barrel.]

Double-yolk egg!

It had been a good seven or eight years since Han Qiwu last ate a double-yolk egg.

Those are rare enough as it is.

Let alone a double-yolk fire duck egg. freēnovelkiss.com

"A small barrel? Looks like this is another piece of processing equipment," Han Qiwu noted the information in the remarks section and stashed away the double-yolk fire duck egg.

His greedy curiosity then led him to Jilei Mountain for a quick look.

Unfortunately, though the calves had grown significantly larger, they still hadn’t left their juvenile stage and couldn’t produce milk yet.

With a sigh of resignation, Han Qiwu fed them some purple alfalfa, then grabbed his things and prepared to do a quick sweep of the mine. On the way back, he’d also retrieve the felt so he could craft a mill after picking up a fish pond from Master Shuzi in the afternoon.

Plus, the snowball incubator for hatching Little Snow was still missing one Snow Monster Essence.

Let’s make it happen today!

Onward!

Reaching the mine’s entrance, Han Qiwu first stepped into the Explorer Guild.

The guild was unusually quiet today—no Egger screams echoing through the halls.

To be honest, it felt a bit... unsettling.

Behind the counter, where Egger was mixing drinks, he noticed Han Qiwu and casually remarked, "Looks like you’re glowing."

Han Qiwu: "....."

Drunk again?

Seeing the confusion in Han Qiwu’s eyes, Egger shifted his posture and explained, "I can sense the glow bug aura on you. Honestly, if I knew you’d run into them, I would’ve asked you to bring two back for me."

"What about them?" Han Qiwu asked, sitting down at the counter.

Egger glanced over his shoulder, then leaned in close to Han Qiwu’s ear and whispered, "If you soak glow bugs in alcohol and drink it, you can transform into an invincible warrior in bed!"

Han Qiwu: "......."

What does that have to do with my already-strong self?

Egger shot Han Qiwu a knowing look, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a senior tone, "Kiddo, you’re still young. Give it a few years, and you’ll understand."

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" Sister Jin Tu lifted the curtain of the inner room, walked over with a felt in hand, and passed it to Han Qiwu with a smile. "You came just in time—check how this turned out."

Han Qiwu thanked her, took the felt, and inspected it.

The felt was perfectly round and felt thick to the touch. Its surface, made of bear fur, had been processed to be soft and smooth. If not explicitly pointed out, no one would ever guess it was made from bear fur.

[Bear Fur Felt]

[Uses: Material/Decoration]

[Note: It was hard-earned.]

Indeed, it had been tough to come by.

Who knows when the Little Prince will moult again?

"How is it? Do you like it?" Sister Jin Tu asked with a smile.

"It’s great. Thanks, Sister Jin Tu," Han Qiwu expressed his thanks, chatted for a bit, and then left.

To the mines!

Boarding the cable car, Han Qiwu headed straight for the sixty-fifth level of the mines.

[You have arrived at Mine Level 65.]

As the view came into focus, Han Qiwu eagerly scanned the area.

Time to see if there was any coal essence around.

After a while of searching, he actually found two coal essence deposits, collecting over a dozen pieces of coal in the process.

"Hard work pays off."

Han Qiwu sighed in contentment and walked to the edge of the frozen river to have a look.

Luck was on his side today; he spotted a 5×5 patch of diggable ground.

Gripping his hoe, Han Qiwu took a deep breath and began digging in earnest.

[Ice Lotus]×1.

"Got a good item right off the bat?" Han Qiwu was surprised.

This came at the perfect time—soon, he could use it to craft an Ice Snow Fish Pond for the ice river whitefish fry.

He kept digging.

Ten minutes later, Han Qiwu’s inventory now had six Ice Lotuses and one Ice Mushroom.

Delighted.

While luck was good, better keep going!

[You have arrived at Mine Level 66.]

Upon stepping in, Han Qiwu immediately noticed a cluster of emerald deposits. He quickly swapped to his miner’s helmet, walked over, and summoned the Snowman Miner Doll to start digging alongside him.

"Little Electric, keep an eye out."

"Chirp, chirp!"

Little Electric, eager for cliff honey, diligently flew around, staying alert.

After excavating two emerald deposits, Han Qiwu noticed his miner’s helmet emitting a glowing light that shot straight at a nearby mineral deposit.

"Did the special effect just activate?" Han Qiwu tentatively tapped the emerald deposit with his pickaxe.

[Emerald]×2.

Two in one go?

This Glowlight effect is fantastic!

Thrilled, Han Qiwu recalled the Mining Light special effect on his helmet and started scanning his surroundings.

After searching for a bit, he spotted an irregular-shaped shadow on the rocky wall.

"How am I supposed to dig this?"

Han Qiwu, testing, jumped up and struck at the shadowy rock with his bronze pickaxe.

"Clink!"

After the first strike, traces of cracks appeared on the icy surface.

Progress!

Han Qiwu leaped a few more times, chipping away at the rock until it finally broke free.

With the ice layer gone, he recognized the rock formation—it was a quartz deposit.

After a few more strikes, he successfully dismantled the deposit.

[Quartz Block]×2.

[Quartz Block: When shattered, yields 2–15 Quartz Pieces.]
