For the next few days, Xu Ning followed a three-point-line routine: in the morning, he dug manure to water the saplings, and in the afternoon, he cut grass to feed the Thatched Hut.
Finally, after a few days, the corn was fully ripe.
However, Xu Ning had eaten several large corn cobs in between, so his harvest this ti was not abundant, but it was enough to last him for a while.
Fortunately, because the saplings Xu Ning planted had recently grown quite large, they obscured the appearance of the corn, preventing other villagers from discovering the unusual growth of Xu Ning's corn.
After the harvest, Xu Ning conveniently picked a dozen or so corn seeds and planted them.
Arriving at the dozen or so planted saplings, Xu Ning couldn't help but ask, "When can you upgrade?"
"Master, five more buckets, just five more buckets and I can reach mortal-grade mid-rank."
The other saplings also responded simultaneously, all needing five buckets.
"What changes when you beco mortal-grade mid-rank?" Xu Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Master, when we beco mortal-grade mid-rank, our size will instantly increase significantly, and our wood quality will also improve considerably," the largest sapling quickly replied.
At this mont, the nearby dung bucket suddenly spoke, "Master, when the ti cos, can you cut so for to upgrade? Once I reach mortal-grade mid-rank, I can fernt manure, making its effect even better!"
Originally, Xu Ning was still debating whether to water the saplings or the corn first, but after hearing the dung bucket's words, he imdiately made a decision: upgrade the dung bucket first.
For the next few days, Xu Ning continued his usual three-point-line routine: digging manure in the morning, watering, and then cutting grass.
Finally, after five days, the first sapling successfully upgraded to mortal-grade mid-rank.
Looking at the tree trunk, which was the size of a coconut, Xu Ning couldn't pretend not to be surprised; it was too fast, the growth was simply too rapid.
Without hesitation, Xu Ning picked up the cleaver and started chopping.
"Big Brother, can you consider my feelings? Hacking a mortal-grade mid-rank tree with a mortal-grade Low Grade cleaver, doesn't it hurt ?"
After only two chops, a painful sound ca from inside the cleaver.
Xu Ning: "Then I can't help it! You know, I don't have an axe, so I'll just make do with you!"
Sapling: "By the way, doesn't anyone consider my feelings? I'm being chopped by a cleaver!"
Xu Ning: "Stop talking nonsense, you were born to be chopped into pieces! If you were seen by others, there would be big trouble!"
This was also Xu Ning's biggest concern at the mont; this sapling had grown so large in just over ten days since it was planted. If it were seen by others, there would definitely be big trouble.
So now, Xu Ning's only thought was to quickly chop it down before it was seen.
The cleaver also understood Xu Ning's aning and stopped complaining, allowing Xu Ning to control its body to strike the tree repeatedly.
This tale has been pilfered from . If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Ah ah ah ah ah~~
The sapling, anwhile, kept letting out painful groans.
Xu Ning couldn't stand it anymore: "Can you stop making such disgusting noises!"
Sapling: "Big Brother, I hurt! Try chopping yourself with a cleaver!"
Xu Ning understood after hearing this and continued to speed up.
Although each chop was not deep, over ti, the trunk was finally cut through, falling down with a "boom."
Imdiately, Xu Ning picked up the dung bucket: "Try swallowing it!"
"Okay," the dung bucket's surprised voice imdiately ca.
Then, Xu Ning directly inserted the broken end into the dung bucket.
Suddenly, a magical scene appeared: the tree trunk entering the dung bucket began to disappear before Xu Ning's eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly controlled the dung bucket to move forward, continuously devouring the tree trunk.
In just a mont, the entire large tree was completely devoured by the dung bucket, and it successfully advanced to a mortal-grade mid-rank dung bucket.
"How is it? What effects have improved?" Xu Ning eagerly asked the dung bucket.
"Ferntation for three hours, doubling the effect!" the dung bucket quickly replied.
Xu Ning was pleasantly surprised to hear this; doubling the effect ant that corn, which originally needed ten buckets to advance to mortal-grade mid-rank, now only needed five buckets.
Xu Ning couldn't help but ask again, "What's the effect of the next level?"
dung bucket: "If I advance to mortal-grade high-rank, not only will the fernted fertilizer's potency increase again, and the ferntation ti shorten, but my weight will also be halved, even when full of manure, and I won't emit any sll."
"Then how many trees will it need?" This was actually what Xu Ning was most concerned about.
dung bucket: "Five trees will be enough!"
Xu Ning was surprised: "That many? These are mortal-grade mid-rank trees!"
dung bucket: "Although they are mortal-grade mid-rank, they are too small. If they were large enough to embrace, one would be enough!"
Large enough to embrace? Xu Ning wouldn't dare to grow them that big, fearing they would be seen by others.
Afterward, Xu Ning picked up the hoe again, dug out the tree roots, broke them apart, and carried them all back ho.
"Xu Ning, these can be swallowed by !" The dung bucket couldn't help but say anxiously.
Xu Ning: "Dream on, I'm taking these back to burn."
The firewood at ho was running low recently, and these tree roots weren't really enough; he would have to go to the mountain to cut so more later.
However, it was difficult to cut wood on the mountain, as it had long been stripped bare by others, making it hard to find even a single intact piece.
There was no other way; even if he didn't cut them to burn, others would cut them to sell.
The dung bucket didn't say much more after hearing this.
By the ti he brought the tree roots ho, it was already dark.
Xu Ning then tirelessly carried the dung bucket to dig for manure.
There was no other way; the dung bucket needed to fernt now, so he had to dig the manure at night and bring it back, and after ferntation, take it to water the plants tomorrow.
Or, perhaps, he should raise a cow! That thing produces a lot; if he raised two, they could produce almost a bucket a day.
However, Xu Ning could only dream about it, as he currently had no money to buy a cow.
Currently in the village, households with cows were considered wealthy.
After digging for manure and returning, Xu Ning was exhausted. He hastily ate a bowl of corn rice and imdiately lay down on the bed.
"Xu Ning, can't you be gentler? You're hurting !" From beneath, the bed's dissatisfied voice entered Xu Ning's ears.
Xu Ning weakly said, "Weren't you born to be laid upon!"
After speaking, Xu Ning unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Ning began his arduous life again, carrying the dung bucket to water the corn.
As for the saplings, it wasn't ti to water them yet. Firstly, the previously harvested corn was almost eaten, so the second batch needed to be planted quickly.
Secondly, of course, he was afraid of others seeing the growth rate of those saplings!
Xu Ning had already decided that when watering the saplings later, he would co at night to water the last bucket when they were close to maturity, then imdiately chop them down, and finally dig out even the roots, to avoid attracting attention.
In the blink of an eye, over ten days passed, and the Thatched Hut, under Xu Ning's daily grass cutting and feeding, finally reached mortal-grade mid-rank.
Xu Ning imdiately asked impatiently, "Thatched Hut, what improvents have there been?"
Xu Ning was still very much looking forward to the Thatched Hut's upgrade.
