After leaving the pollution zone, Han Qiwu tore open a scroll and went straight ho to take a thorough shower.
"Looks like I really need to get so perfu. The sll from the pollution zone is just too strong," Han Qiwu thought as he lay on the bed, blow-drying his hair.
Apart from the sll, figuring out how to quickly deal with the pollution moths was also a big issue.
After dealing with them for so long, he had summarized a pattern: Pollution worms would start hatching into pollution moths as soon as they took any damage. Worse yet, they were invincible during the hatching process, which was honestly pretty disgusting.
To deal with pollution worms, you had to use high-speed, high-damage skills. Previously, when cleaning up pollution moths, he had tried the Fireball Technique. While its damage was high enough, its speed was too slow, and it generated hot air while flying.
Before the explosive damage from the fireball could even hit the pollution worms, the surrounding hot air alone would trigger their revolting invincibility-and-hatch chanism.
However, thinking in reverse, this sa chanism could also be used to gather the pollution moths in one spot. After all, the pollution worms didn’t deal much damage themselves, so you could take a few hits and use a torch to herd them together.
"I’ll go consult Master Shuzi tomorrow and see if he can co up with so suitable weapons."
Taking out his phone, he sent Mr. Tang a ssage, "What are you up to? Had enough for dinner tonight?"
"I’m full. I’m watching the animated version of Jumping Frog," Tang Qingying replied. "By the way, aren’t you scared sleeping alone on the edge of the village?"
"What, does Mr. Tang want to co keep company? In that case, I’d definitely be scared," Han Qiwu joked with a laugh.
"If you’re scared, just get a dog. I’m not coming, hmph. You’ve been busy with so many things today, you must be tired. Go to bed early," Mr. Tang replied with a playful "bleh" emoji.
Han Qiwu chuckled to himself. Get a dog? With everything in the house already, there’s plenty to take care of.
After exchanging goodnights, Han Qiwu slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Moo moo moo."
The one who woke up the courtyard was the spring-fresh Kui Niu.
"You show-off!!!"
Woken up, Little Electric saw the Kui Niu’s cocky attitude and got red-eyed, flying over in a rage and throwing down several bolts of lightning.
What are you so proud of?
Just because you’ve got a wife, huh?!
The Kui Niu wasn’t angry at all. Go ahead, zap . It doesn’t hurt anyway.
On the bed, Han Qiwu stretched lazily and slowly opened his eyes to check his journal. As he scanned down the entries, he noticed his mining skill had leveled up!
But I only smashed one rock yesterday...
Continuing further, he burst into a grin.
The mining skill upgrade ca at just the right ti.
It had unlocked two bomb recipes.
One tid, one throwable—both very flexible in functionality.
If their damage was high enough, they could be the solution to clearing pollution moths.
Ti to make a few and test them out!
Without wasting ti, Han Qiwu quickly washed up and dashed to his storage box, hungrily grabbing materials to start crafting.
"Never thought premium coal would be used for this. The stock at ho isn’t much, so I’ll have to save the tid bombs for critical monts," Han Qiwu mused as he busily worked.
The household’s reserves of Fla Iron Ore were plentiful, so he didn’t hold back, using them in place of regular iron ore to craft five tid bombs and five throwable bombs in one go.
[Fla Burst Tid Bomb]
[Crafted by: Han Qiwu]
[Effect: Upon activation, deals massive damage within a 7×7 area centered on the tid bomb, leaving behind searing fragnts on the ground that cause ongoing burn damage to anyone passing through]
[Note: Buddy, seriously, keep your distance]
Using Fla Iron Ore to craft the tid bombs didn’t change their range, but added a persistent damage effect with the leftover searing fragnts!
Han Qiwu even thought the searing fragnts could help divide the battlefield. If used properly, their effectiveness could be outstanding.
Sweet!
Ti to get more Fla Iron Ore later.
The throwable bombs saw similar changes to the tid bombs.
In crafting tid bombs, he could also set the tir’s delay. Considering the slippery terrain in the pollution zone, he set the tir to one minute.
This way, even if crawling, you’d have ti to get out of the blast radius.
After safely stashing the bombs, Han Qiwu went into the kitchen to prepare so noodles and fry a couple of eggs.
While frying the eggs, he switched on the TV for a quick glance.
[Weather Forecast]
Tomorrow will be overcast.
[Daily Tips]
Sotis, attacking from above is very effective.
[Almanac]
Auspicious for battles, avoid heading to the mountains.
[Shennong Recipe]
[Thinking about trying roasted bird? Be careful with your choice of bird species—it affects the cooking ti.]
[You’ve learned the roasted bird recipe]
Han Qiwu: "...... Grandpa Shennong truly spoils . Whatever I think, he gives . Still, the bird species isn’t just about cooking ti. It might also decide how much ti I spend recovering..."
He decided to shelve the recipe for now until he found the right kind of bird in a mysterious location.
The daily tip was also intriguing.
Was it hinting that I should throw bombs from high ground?
The almanac’s guidance was straightforward.
Today’s a perfect day for throwing bombs!
Let’s go!
After finishing the noodles, Han Qiwu drank a bottle of Thunder Milk.
Once done, he descended into the cellar.
Picked up the sauce jars, planted so strawberries!
Looking around the empty cellar, he felt just a little burned out.
Doing everything single-handedly is really exhausting.
It’d be great to have a helper.
After leaving the cellar, he spotted an envelope sticking out of the mailbox by the door.
"Another favorability reward from Mr. Tang?" Han Qiwu eagerly ran to the mailbox, opened it, and pulled out a parchnt scroll.
Unfortunately, this parchnt looked completely different from a mysterious scroll. Upon opening, it displayed the route to a mountain location.
[You’ve discovered the location of Yunnan Red Tea Trees]
Accompanying this notification, his map now displayed an icon of red tea leaves.
"Yunnan Red Tea Trees? Wait a minute, didn’t the almanac just warn against going to the mountains today? Better check the location now and go tomorrow instead." Han Qiwu pulled out a previous notebook where Aunt Hong i had drawn a map of the surrounding mountain ranges.
After studying it for a while, he realized that the Yunnan Red Tea Trees were located on East Mountain.
In Aunt Hong i’s words, East Mountain was also called Frozen Mountain. Due to its orientation and elevation, the mountain’s temperature was extrely low, and vegetation was sparse, making it a place rarely visited.
Who would have thought Yunnan Red Tea Trees would grow there? It’s going to be tough to pick them.
Oh well, tomorrow’s problem for tomorrow. For now, let’s throw so bombs!
