[A divine tier reward has been unlocked. Spiritual Space has been unlocked!]
[Assimilating the Spiritual Space with the host.]
The next second, a wave of coolness washed over Ni Mengxue. Even the humid air around her seemed to have cleared up.
[Assimilation completed.]
Ni Mengxue opened her eyes with faint shock. Spiritual Space? Wasn’t that the power only the royal family had in her past life?
Back in her previous life, due to soil infertility, vegetables were hard to come by. At that time, an individual named Ark awakened this ability.
He gained a dimensional space that can grow vegetables. Because of this sole ability, he was granted the title of king and hence began the imperial family.
However, if the power he had awakened wasn’t a power but something given by the Sanctuary Evolution System, then he was someone to respect.
He was able to hide it so well. Then again, Ni Mengxue never understood why Ark had given such a treasure to the Ni Family to protect.
’It’s in the past. I should explore my spiritual space.’
Closing her eyes, Ni Mengxue thought of the space. The next second, her consciousness appeared inside.
A vast brown plot appeared in front of her. If her estimation was right, then it was at least 1 acre. The air there was devoid of the pungent smell of human waste and the rotting smell of corpses.
The sky was bluish, almost resembling an ancient Earth vibe, while the hustling and constant chattering of humans was missing, making the entire space look peaceful.
Her fingers trembled slightly from the shock. In her past life, she consumed vegetables and loved cooking, but it was also the reason why she was broke.
A single basket of vegetables was enough to drain a person’s life savings.
Heck, if she weren’t a researcher who came up with hybrid vegetables later on, her dream of cooking would have never come true.
And now... now she owned 1 acre of fertile land!
Right in front of her, there was a board stating:
[Farming Plot.
Growing Speed: Normal(1x)
Quality: Average
Soil: Fertile (Average Tier)]
Right below the details was the word ’upgrade.’
Out of curiosity, she clicked on it. The next second, the board flashed and the details updated, and the growing speed reached 1.25x.
Like a curious child, she continued to press on to upgrade. The growing speed increased from 1.25x to 1.5x to 1.75x and finally to 2x.
On reaching 2x, the board flashed with bright light, and details updated:
[Farming Plot.
Growing Speed: Normal(2x)
Quality: Average (Tier-3)
Soil: Fertile (Average Tier-3)
Farming Spirit: Dormant]
"Farming spirit?" She mumbled, and to see when the spirit would wake up, she continued to press the upgrade button. On reaching the 3x speed, the farming spirit’s status changed to passive.
Just then, the upgrade button turned grey, and a prompt appeared beside the upgrade button.
[Criteria: 1000 merit points!]
"Oh, so the upgrade requires merit points." Ni Mengxue’s eyes flickered. She wasn’t upset at the fact that her merit points must have dropped below 1000 points.
In order to win big, one must invest.
As she walked around the plot, she noticed gates at the far ends. As she touched them, a prompt appeared.
[Livestock Area locked. Merit points required: 20,000]
"So there are more areas?" She nodded as she continued to explore.
[Ding! Submission completed! You are awarded with good-quality seeds of tomato, cabbage, potato, sweet potato, and carrot.]
Her hand itched to plant all the crops right away, but worry about Lu Yucai made her halt.
Exiting her space, she was hit with the sobbing sounds and pungent smell. Suppressing her discomfort, she rushed inside and saw Lu Yucai cleaned up a bit.
There was still a bit of dust on the left side of his face, which he was trying to hide.
It was clear that he didn’t use all the water but only 1/4th of it. Frugal, just like his past life.
With a helpless expression, she moved toward the porridge that Ruo Chiwu had given.
After dividing it into two portions, she handed one to Lu Yucai, who took it without much expression.
Only when the lukewarm porridge entered her mouth did Ni Mengxue realize that she was starving!
To her dismay, the porridge was finished even before she could savor it!
Turning toward Lu Yucai, she realized his bowl was much cleaner compared to hers.
"Yucai, do you want to eat more?" Her voice was soft as a feather, making the dazed Lu Yucai freeze.
"No." With that, he turned to the other side.
Ni Mengxue smiled tenderly. Her general looked so cute when he threw a tantrum!
This cutie needs to be pampered. In the end, Ni Mengxue cooked up a big bowl of porridge.
She had spices and rice, and if she played her cards right, food wouldn’t be a problem for her.
Lu Yucai gave a complex look to his wife. Not only did she remain unfazed by his disgust, but she even gave him food.
What kind of fairytale was it?
’Yucai, don’t waver. She must be planning something!’
Though he said so, he still obediently ate the porridge. The fragrance was too tempting! Even the taste... it was so rich and savory that his tongue was dancing in delight!
Alas, the big bowl was still not enough to fill his stomach.
’I wish before I die... I could have a full meal.’
Just then, he felt a cold hand touching his wrist, alerting him. He tried to withdraw his hand, but heard Ni Mengxue’s coaxing, filled voice.
"Be good and let me check."
Lu Yucai was furious. At first, when they got married, she had called him a cripple and refused to be near him.
She even threw him out in the cold, just so he could die. But when he had finally thought of dying, she started to act all clingy and caring.
"Ni Mengxue, you..."
"Say one more word, and I will kiss you till you are breathless," Ni Mengxue warned. When it came to his health, she wasn’t going to compromise!
