Chapter 214 - The Cloudscraper Vine Evolves again (1/2)

“There’s no rush to plant a teacher for now, so we could put that on hold while I check online for a hot teacher to plant.”

Jiang He collected his thoughts before continuing to plant Orirocks.

Now that his farm had expanded to three Mu, Jiang He planted all 280 Oririocks in one go.

At the same time, Dumbo continued to dig his holes.

While Jiang He planted the Orirocks, Trumbo would be burying and watering the holes behind him. By the time Jiang He planted the last Orirock, the Orirocks they planted at the start was already budding.

Still, Jiang He was rather surprised to find that this was unlike planting gold bullion trees, where only ten trees grew on each occasion and he had to chop down ten more for ten more to grow.

The Orirocks, on the other hand…

Thirty would grow on each occasion which greatly shortened planting timeframe, otherwise, since it takes two hours to harvest a single Orirock tree, at least sixty hours of non-stop harvesting was needed if the trees grew by a multiple of ten.

Though he was only in charge of burying the Orirocks and plucking them, the prospect of working 60 hours straight was horrific.

“This must be an effect after the farm leveled up. Still, the gold trees wouldn’t wither and it grows Yuanbao long-term. On the other hand, Orirocks would turn to ash on its own after harvest.”

That was a little miserable, since otherwise Orirocks would be no different from Yuanbao—only harvested once per week. Would it not have been a delight to earn three hundred thousand Farm Points in a week from those thirty trees?

“Eh…”

Jiang He remembered something else at the mention of ‘one week’, and exclaimed in surprise, “It’s already the fourteenth, over twenty days after the monthly reward on the twenty-fourth last month…”

“Where’s my weekly gift pack, System?”

Even Jiang He himself had forgotten about that.

Wasn’t he supposed to get a small gift pack every seven days and one big gift pack each month… but where was it?

After asking for half a day, his System did not react at all.

Damn it!

After several words of complaint, Jiang He frowned and said, “Could this be the same like games where I count as a newbie in the first month after I received the System… and there’s no gift pack rewarded once that passes?”

“Forget it. It’s the same whether I have the gift packs, so it’s nothing to look forward to.”

In the meantime, it would be over an hour before the thirty Orirocks grew, and Jiang He went to a corner of the wall after some observation.

At the corner of the Farm, oily-green clumps of grave grass had grown out of the five graves.

“Are those the Sky Demon Cult’s Heavenly Generals that were bombed to death by the potato landmines?”

There was nothing happening at the other graves, however.

Jiang He nodded to himself subtly. It seems that his hunch was right—the Heavenly Generals were rank-seven, and it meant there was a three-level gap his level 4 farm.

The reason last time the grave grass would grow last time was mostly likely because of the farm leveling up.

“Planting human corpses seem to be chickenfeed, which doesn’t help me much, not to mention that the grave grass is too unhygienic… It would be acceptable if it’s something like the Sword Will Barrenwort, but I’m never eating the grave grass since all it helps is awaken superpowers, although it’s not bad for training pets.”

“As for farm level… I could use the fact that grave grass would grow out of powerful corpses and use that well.”

That was when a weird sound could be heard.

Jiang He turned to find that the Cloudscraper Vine’s tendrils were swaying after consuming its half of the Red Toad King’s corpse, growing wildly!

At first, the nine 100 meters long tendrils of the Cloudscraper Vine were elastic and capable of constriction. The spikes hidden beneath it were almost rank-nine in penetration too.

And now, after consuming half of a Feral King, the tendrils grew up to 150 meters long and even thicker than its arm-wide size before.

A cool glimmer glinted on the spikes over the leaf beneath the tendrils.

Jiang He walked up, allowing the Cloudscraper Vine to attack him.

Swish!

The nine 150 meters tendrils promptly retracted to ensnare Jiang He, instantly forming a green cage that rapidly shrank, its many spikes stabbing down on Jiang He…

Crack!

A soft, clear sound echoed as untold spikes were broken by Jiang He’s overwhelming physique.

After feeling out the horrific constriction strength of the nine tendrils of the Cloudscraper Vine, Jiang He exclaimed in surprise, “Not bad. You could first restrain your target before you kill them, and probably even the best of rank-nine elites would be killed by your coils.”

“Still, that’s no different from a massage for me.”

The Cloudscraper Vine loosened its coils at that.

Jiang He checked his body to find little red spots on its body, caused by the Cloudscraper Vine’s spikes.

Jiang He nodded in surprise, saying, “The spikes has powerful penetration that not even combat suits made with S-grade alloys or rank-nine elites bad at defense could stop.”
