Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting, While I Started a Farm

Second of October, around nine in the morning.

After a night of toil, Jiang He’s sports car finally reached the front gates of his yard.

No one would know what Jiang He experienced over the night…

It was horrible!

When he finally fell asleep with much difficulty, the car stopped in front of a river before he had an hour of shut-eye—the bridge above the river was broken by some Feral.

Jiang He had to pick up his car with one hand and cross the river.

After that, Jiang He slept for a bit again when he ran into two Ferals that were fighting to mate in the middle of the road…

Jiang He had to cut them both down and throw them aside before continuing on his journey.

Then, the third Feral attack came…

Just as he got off, Dumbo and Trumbo came running, pleasantly wagging their tails in greeting.

Jiang He scowled and kicked out at Trumbo, barking, “You’re a cat. Why do you keep wagging your tail and letting your tongue hang out like a dog?”

“Meow~~”

Trumbo mewed unhappily.

“Meow off. Get on the car and move the stuff out.”

Meow~~

Trumbo mewed again, its body expanding as it turned into a muscle cat to move the stuff from the car.

“Master!”

Sora came to meet Jiang He as well, speaking with her lively, attractive voice, “You’ve had a long journey. Shall I prepare breakfast?”

“No need, I had a lunchbox last night after killing some Ferals. By the way, did anything happen in the house when I was away at Jiangnan?” Jiang He entered his mansion and sat on the sofa—understanding as ever, Sora went up to massage his shoulders.

“Miss Wang came yesterday, but left since you weren’t around. She had me ask you to call her after that—it seems that she has something to discuss with you.”

Her dainty hands had wonderful control over strength, loosening Jiang He’s whole body.

Miss Wang?

Was it Wang Siyu?

Jiang He did not say a thing and continued enjoying Sora’s massage.

After having rested a bit on the sofa, he then rose and left the mansion.

Outside, Dumbo and Trumbo had already brought out the food containers and the container that carried a rank-nine Feral’s flesh. Both pets were now crouching over the ground, stainless bowl and spoon placed before themselves and staring impatiently at Jiang He.

Rewarding cat and dog with a few chunks of Leopard Python meat and five blended qi pellets each, Jiang He then picked up the rank-nine Feral flesh and headed to the yard.

As an idea came to him, he looked towards his System Panel.

[Name: Jiang He]

[Cultivation: Rank-Eight Pinnacle]

[Ability: Royal Sword, fire]

[Martial Arts Cultivation: Indestructible Diamond (Mastery+), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (+), Blind Princess’s Eight Practices (Second Practice+), Strengthened Nine Yang Technique (Fifth Tier+), Ninefold Thunderblade (Third Fold+), Dragon-Elephant Prajna (Fourth Tier+)]

[Owned Land: 888m²]

[Farm Level: 3 (EXP 5000/5000)]

[System Backpack: 12 boxes]

[System Shop: Unlocked]

[Farm Points: 8300]

“Eh?”

Jiang He was left surprised at that, and exclaimed in surprise, “When did I improve my Dragon-Elephant Prajna up to Fourth Tier?”

He clearly remembered that his Dragon-Elephant Prajna was Second Tier a few days ago…

After thinking for a while, he realized the key.

With the improvement of his cultivation, and his grasping of thunder will and sword will, his physique was strengthened to some extent. And when it came down to it, the Dragon-Elephant Prajna strengthened physiques too.

It only made sense that it improved as his physique developed…

After all, Jiang He had grasped thunder will in tandem to Ninefold Thunderblade.

“Oh!”

“Such cultivation improvement unbeknownst to myself is really unpleasant.”

Jiang He sighed, at a loss for words.

At least alert me when you improved. It feels so dry to be ascending and leveling somehow every single time, even miserable!

Then, he was left dumbstruck once again when he glanced at the conditions for farm leveling.

There on the bar it was written thus: 1 portion of rank-nine Feral flesh (100kg), 2 portions of rank-eight Feral flesh (each 300kg), Orirock x10.

“One portion of rank-nine Feral flesh and two portions of rank-eight Feral flesh??”

Jiang He only came to his senses after half a beat.

He remembered it wrongly?

Fine!

He must have, even though he still remembered the two portions rank-nine Feral flesh as clear as day… would he have gone through such lengths otherwise? He already killed one rank-nine Feral on Chongming Island after all.

But that was fine.

The flesh of a rank-nine Feral was amazing nourishment. Even if he did not really like those stuff now and it would be better to feed his pets with it, rank-nine Feral flesh was very valuable, with the Superpower Research Department willing to buy it at over a hundred million dollars.

Drawing out his Dragon-Slaying Saber, Jiang He cut off a piece of rank-nine Feral flesh, and took out the other two rank-eight Ferals from his System Backpack.

Slit!

With a flash of his blade, the rank-eight Feral flesh was sliced in two.

Jiang He unleashed a palm.

Boom!

A palm-shape crater instantly appeared over the ground.

He hence threw the single chunk of rank-nine Feral flesh and the two chunks of rank-eight Feral flesh into the hole. He did not consider whether the weight was enough—excess was fine, and he just had to ensure it did not come up short.

After that, Jiang He took out ten Orirocks and put it into the hole as well.

He then took a shovel and buried the hole, and a vein of special energy wafted out of the crater in the next split second, instantly spreading throughout the entire yard.

Under the influence of that energy, the soil within the yard changed drastically. The willow tree planted nearby had a growth spurt, whereas at the graves over at a corner of the yard, young leaves were sprouting.

Then, the walls around Jiang He’s farmyard was actually being pushed rapidly outwards into the distance by that energy.

[Ding!]

[Your farm area is expanding…]

[Your farm soil quality is improving…]

[…]

[Farm expansion complete.]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully improved your farm level up to level 4. Additional rewards: Mysterious seed+1, System Backpack box +6, cultivation manual planting x3]

[Ding!]

[Seeds are available to purchase at System Shop]

Jiang He was stunned by the consecutive System notifications.

He glanced at the System Panel again and found that his farm level had indeed improved from 3 to 4, and that his Owned land increased from 888m² to 3 Mu.

In fact, being inside his farm, Jiang He directly felt his farm enlarging.

Even so, when he looked up, he found that his mansion, the walls of his neighbors, and their houses were still around.

Logically speaking, his yard was supposed to be a little over 2 Mu. Now that it was over 3 Mu, it should have occupied a part of his neighbor’s yard and his own, but it did not.

Stepping out of his farm to look at the yard from the outside, and then leaping up to the top of his mansion to look down on it, he realized in surprise that his farm was still the same size at did not change at all!

“Well…”

Jiang He’s gaze shifted as he came to a realization. “After I leveled up my farm, the inside becomes a separate space?”

That was the only possibility that explained such a change. Still, Jiang He was rather disappointed that his farm leveling up did not become a farming space that could be carried around as depicted in novels.

“Still, that might still be possible in the future even if it wasn’t now.”

“The leveling of farm and expansion of the interior proves that it has become a separate world. Perhaps, at level 5, it would become a mobile space!”

Jiang He leapt out of his mansion and returned to his farm.

A black seed appeared in his hand with a turn of his hand.

[Mysterious Seed]

Jiang He had received another Mysterious Seed from the monthly gift pack he received before, and he was speechless now that he received another from his System leveling up…

Couldn’t you just make clear the type of seed or even function?

Why the mystery?

Putting away the Mysterious Seed, Jiang He kept it so that he would plant it last. After all, he had now accumulated a lot of good stuff that he won’t finish planting soon.

Calling out to Dumbo and instructing it to dig holes, Jiang He’s gaze shifted towards the willow tree at the center of the farm. Once three-meter tall, it had sprouted freely with the farm’s level up, rising up to six feet tall, whereas its tree trunk looked as if it had grown for several decades.

Its many willow branches danced along with the wind, with eighteen of them flickering with crystalline emerald radiance.

Jiang He’s eyes shifted, and he felt a faint stir of spirit energy from the willow tree.

It was very weak, but was slowly growing and strengthening.

“The willow tree would soon obtain sentience!”

There was a look of delight on Jiang He’s face. The willow tree was now around rank-seven and about to develop awareness, which made it equivalent to having a rank-seven grandmaster watching the house… And with its eighteen branches, not even an average rank-seven grandmaster could survive a simultaneous barrage.

“Right!”

“I got a Mutated Boston Ivy the last time I went to the Martial Arts Department. That thing looked quite fierce, and if it’s planted, it would be good for guarding the walls.”

As the idea occurred to him, Jiang He took out the Mutated Boston Ivy.

The needles hidden beneath its leaves were as hard as they were sharp, and perfectly capable of piercing a rank-seven grandmaster’s True Qi defenses. But when it was up against Jiang He…

Crack.

Several needles broke again.

Arriving beside the wall, he had Dumbo dig a hole and simply threw the Mutated Boston Ivy inside.

Then, he redeemed another pack of Mysterious Soil and poured in a fifth of its contents.

After burying the hole, Jiang He took out a crystal bottle with a turn of his hand.

Inside the bottle was the rank-nine Origin Fluid he got from the Wei clan.

Planting the crystal bottle into the hole Dumbo dug, he buried it as well, but did not add the Mysterious Soil.

It was a beverage to him after all.

What if he used the Mysterious Soil and the taste was altered after the fact? How was he supposed to drink it then?

Moreover, there were three more mineral water bottles worth of Origin Fluid from the willow tree before, and Jiang He planted them as well.

Then, right after he had planted the Origin Fluid, a vine had crept out of the ground and grew rapidly near the wall. It only had two buds at first, but an entire vine stem soon grew out, climbing up the wall and splitting into more stems, each of which grew into other wins and covered the wall that was over ten-meter-wide in no time at all.

That was when a sparrow, perhaps drawn to the greenness of the mutated ivy, arrived from afar and perched on it.

In the next instant…

Crunch!

An ivy tendril promptly shot up and devoured the sparrow.
