I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 351 - 347: Coaxing the Child

Mu Ying suddenly felt a bit sorry for Edwin.

It was bad enough that Source Power was so hard to come by, but to think that a hero’s skills were fixed and couldn’t be upgraded, what was the point of changing heroes so often?

Just from hearing him talk about competing, she knew it was still a competitive game, and in such games, fairness was most important.

This meant that the overall strength of all the heroes was roughly balanced and not much different, perhaps a few heroes had rather unique skills, but they were only a minority.

"Are you sure you have no more questions? Aren’t you curious about what skill I have transformed now?" Edwin still had quite a few things he wanted to know and was even willing to use his own abilities as bait. frёeωebɳovel.com

Mu Ying shook her head, "I have got the information I wanted, or if you can offer something else as a price, you can keep asking."

Edwin shook his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it, the remaining questions don’t seem that important. It’s fine not to ask."

Mu Ying: "..."

This guy really was tight-fisted to a certain extent.

"Alright, we’ve talked about enough. You can come to Tree House No. 2 at noon three days from now, and I’ll introduce you to Li Luoxia. We can have a meal together, and at that time, I’ll have some things to tell you. I’m heading back now."

After Mu Ying finished speaking, she saw Edwin nod and then teleported away.

No sooner had she returned to the Plantation than Gungun, Little Stone, and the Gem Fairies, who had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became excited.

"Alright, alright, calm down!"

Gungun and Little Stone wanted to eat crystals, and Mu Ying could just accelerate their growth a bit.

Gungun was fine and didn’t need much attention, but to Little Stone, Mu Ying said, "These are just little snacks. The main thing you need to eat is stones. Eating crystals can only play a decorative role when you grow your house."

Little Stone holding a piece of crystal gnawed away: Eat pretty! (✿◡‿◡)

Mu Ying: "..."

She hadn’t expected it to want to eat crystals because of vanity.

A city, vanity, seems there’s no problem?

Mu Ying shook her head; what was left were the few Gem Fairies.

She spread out a pile of Crystal Coral Seeds of various colors, "Pick a color you like, and I’ll make you guys Crystal Huts!"

The aesthetics of Gem Fairies and mermaids were quite similar; they both liked shiny, pretty things. However, their favorite was still the color of the leaf they were born from.

The four Gemstone Elves picked their own birth colors without a second thought.

Mu Ying made four little huts of different colors but the same style for them and placed them under the Gem Tree.

The Gem Fairies were delighted and rushed back to move in without stopping.

After cheering up her little ones at home, Mu Ying felt relieved and went about her own business.

The next two days passed by without anything special happening.

On the morning of the third day, she still went to the beach with Lily to see the morning tide and then got busy at the Undersea Planting Camp.

Today was the day the fish tail grass bore fruit.

It was one day later than what Mu Ying had anticipated.

Mu Ying infused today’s portion of Magic Power, and the fish tail grass began its transformation.

One after another, differently colored, fish scale-shaped, flat little fruits hung all over the branches.

"You have cultivated a new type of plant ’fish tail grass.’ This plant is stable in nature, requires a special ability to inherit, has high planting requirements, and has a certain medicinal value, earning Professional Experience ×300."

When the fish tail grass was fully grown, Mu Ying indeed received a message prompt again.

points of Professional Experience—that’s three times the amount of the gill pouch grass!

However, for the crystal coral, despite having been hurried along so many times, she still had not received a message prompt.

Mu Ying felt it was because she had controlled the growth shape of the crystal coral with magic every time, even directly handling it to force it to rush growth, and after every extreme growth induction, the crystal coral would die straight away.

Every time she relied on planting new plants, she would receive an Experience Value reward reminder only after the plant had gone through a full growth period and produced fruit or seeds.

This indeed reminded Mu Ying that while extreme growth induction of crystal coral was very convenient, she still needed to plant some normally to scrape together some experience.

Nevertheless, the important thing right now was these fish tail grass fruits, with these, she could put the octopus tail back on the agenda.

With a wave of her magic wand, Mu Ying gathered the fruits in front of her.

The fruits of the fish tail grass were only pretty to look at and not edible, but they could be used to concoct magic potions, offering Lily and her kind only ornamental value.

Mu Ying thus allotted only three fruits, extracted the seeds from inside, used magic to induce sprouting, and handed them to Lily, "You can plant this directly when you get back. However, without Magic Power attacks, it will grow slower and won’t bear fruit."

Lily nodded, stowing the seeds safely, "It’s okay if it’s slow, we have plenty of time!"

Mermaids could be considered a long-lived race, after all.

"We need to process the fish tail grass fruits quickly so that we can make the magic potions. Let’s wrap up early today," said Mu Ying.

Even if the fish tail grass fruits were kept in a space ring that could preserve freshness, their medicinal properties would gradually fade, so they needed to be processed first and then stored in crystal containers.

After saying goodbye to Lily, Mu Ying rushed back to the plantation to pick out the seeds from the fish tail grass fruits, then quickly extracted juice from the flesh, preserving it in a large-bellied crystal bottle, which could keep it for a long time.

As it was approaching noon after she finished all this, Mu Ying had also arranged a meeting with Edwin and Li Luoxia to discuss matters, so she teleported back to her tree house.

Since the plantation had moved into the Sub-camp, she rarely came to rest at the tree house anymore. Compared to this small tree house, the plantation was much more spacious and free.

This was even more the case after acquiring the Magic Hut—how could the small tree house, furnished only with a few simple pieces of furniture, compare with the Magic Hut that had cost a considerable sum of money to custom-make, where every interior detail was exquisitely comfortable?

She hadn’t been over here for a long time either. If it weren’t for the fact that she had only known Edwin for one day and did not understand him very well, she might have entertained them at the plantation.

This time, as soon as she entered the house, she felt a layer of dust had settled inside.

Fortunately, magic had freed Mu Ying’s hands; all household chores were a matter of waving the magic wand.

The dust was quickly cleared away.

Although much more rudimentary than the Magic Hut, the tree house was still more comfortable and cozy than many people’s homes and was fully furnished.

Mu Ying prepared the midday meal with cooking magic while adding some small decorations to the house to make it look nicer.

There was a green vine with tiny flowers that spread across the entire roof, stationary lamp vine lanterns for lighting, and fresh bouquets of flowers in vases.

It had a charm of its own—at least, outside
