My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 136 – Chapter 136: Chapter 135: The Plantation of Firewood

Chapter 136: Chapter 135: The Plantation of Firewood
 

That night, An Jianyou returned, bringing with her a bag brimming with treasures from Heaven's Net.

Several vehicles with supplies gifted or traded from the Investigation Bureau were still en route.

An Jianyou herself had not entered the Ghastly Realm.

She dared not.

Even though her mentor had mentioned that the danger level on the other side wasn't high, the last experience had frightened her. To enter the terrifying Ghastly Realm alone was something she could not muster the courage for.

If she really had to go, she would first need to consult her mentor and then find a reliable partner.

However, since the mentor hadn't insisted… Well, then maybe she wouldn't try this time and instead return early, return early.

Leaving Silver Bell there temporarily to negotiate new trades with the Investigation Bureau, An Jianyou came back alone.

“But Silver Bell said…”

“Once I finish the orders, I'll come back. Tell the mentor that I don't want to be stationed here long-term. I'm a medical worker, you know!”

“That's exactly what Silver Bell said.”

An Jianyou imitated.

Even though Silver Bell could have had a remote conversation with him directly.

However, Fang You indeed had not planned to have Silver Bell stay there. Silver Bell was not just a physician but also served as the chief pharmacist for Torch.

Currently, much of Torch's production depends on her. It's impossible for her to stay in the Secret Realm, playing the role of liaison with the Investigation Bureau.

But having a liaison in the Secret Realm is important nonetheless.

Who should he send?

Black Blade? Impossible. Brother Black Blade is one of the most important Angels Envoy in the organization, heavily relied upon for training newcomers.

Xing Jing Lei is meant for gathering materials. The base doesn't even allow him to stay; Fang You has already sent him out to work.

Pei Hongjing, who is the chairman of the Pei Corporation, is buried in reality with many obligations, and recently he even established Pei's Security, actively recruiting civilian Awakeners.

He definitely wouldn't want to come.

Yiluo Xi is almost the same. Fang You occasionally checked on her efforts and discovered that the organization she had established was indeed taking shape.

Quite miraculous.

She has already recruited quite a number of Awakeners and even gathered a group of adoring fans. Given time, Yiluo Xi's unreliable organization could actually become dependable and grow substantially in scale.

“This wouldn't be bad for Torch.”

“It's like an external organization that can supply Torch with talent.”

Yiluo Xi's people are Torch's people in his view. He sees no issue with it.

Of course, Yiluo Xi's fledgling group is still a mixed bag, needing time to filter out. Torch only wants individuals of high character and potential.

“Using an official Angel Envoy as a mere liaison would be a waste.”

“Let's send a Junior Apostle over instead.”

Junior Apostles are flawed and unable to call his name directly in their minds, but in modern society, as soon as they step out of the Secret Realm, there's a signal, allowing for calls.

And it's not like they can't communicate at all; he's still able to switch to the perspective of the Junior Apostle.

All these issues are minor.

The only problem is,

“Their strength is somewhat weak; the current Junior Apostles are all just Level 1 Awakeners.”

“Xiao Huan, pull up the Junior Apostles' panels.”

Ming Deng the Mage, Gou Ping'an, Xu Tian, and others—a total of 16 Apostles, all Awakeners.

The second batch had just awakened. He was more focused on the first batch of six.

The one with the highest accumulation of Mystery was Ming Deng the Mage. The Mage kept traveling around, banishing Mysterious Evil, and clarifying his path. His Mystery value had already reached 17.5.

“That's fast; it's only been a few days.”

“But then again, conditions are different now. The Mage often deals with Level 2 Mysterious Evil and then drags back injuries for treatment.”

It could only be said that the Mage's combative approach is indeed fierce, every strike penetrating, every punch in a lethal battle.

It's normal for the accumulation of Mystery to be fast.

His gaze continued downward and he let out a curious “huh.”

The rest of the Apostles had accumulated Mystery values ranging from 6 to 9, significantly less than Ming Deng the Mage, but only Gou Ping'an stood out—his Mystery value had reached 17.3, not far behind Ming Deng the Mage at all.

“If Gou Ping'an can advance to Level 2 Awakening this time, sending him to the Secret Realm as a liaison would be more appropriate than sending Ming Deng the Mage.”

“He doesn't need to be stationed there long term, just for a few days or half a month. By then, there will be many people available for rotation.”

“The selection for the third batch to join is also nearing confirmation.”

“Regarding the recent precursors to the Ghastly Realm door in Huang Country, I've already sent Xing Jing Lei over. He alone can make a notable contribution.”

“And An Jianyou, this girl should also try for a third Awakening again; it can't be delayed.”

When he emerged from the second Secret Realm entrance and arrived at the Bai River office, An Jianyou was sipping her milk tea, a look of bliss on her face.

But when he mentioned the matter of third Awakening, a look of fear still flickered through An Jianyou's eyes, and she blurted out,

“Mentor, are you coming this time?”

As soon as she finished speaking, her face flushed red, and she was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole in the ground with her toe.

…

Half an hour later,

“Beep—”

The training ground's doors opened, and An Jianyou walked in with her head down, her face still flushed. But the blush indicated that she was in excellent spirits, which meant she had completed her third Awakening.

The awkwardness in between? That didn't matter.

After all, it wasn't Fang You who felt uncomfortable.

He walked outside and at the last moment did not forget to say, “Remember to write about your Awakening experience, especially compared to the last time, noting the differences. Then get familiar with your Ability, I'll come back to find you later.”

“K-know,” she said, crying in her heart.

Another entry for the embarrassing history.

But having her mentor present did make her feel somewhat more at ease during the Awakening… Uh-oh, here comes the problem, should she include this point in her Awakening experience?

If she doesn't write it, the experience won't be genuine, but if she does, it's just too embarrassing!

Ah ah ah ah ah—!

…

The Secret Realm, Torch Base, fourth level.

Located on the outskirts of the sky fortress, unobstructed, with a view of the golden sea of clouds.

The warm breeze gently blew, touching people's heartstrings.

Fang You stepped in; the area was still bare with only some brown soil arranged in grids.

This was the planting area of the Torch Base, which could only be opened on the fourth level.

‘Planting Area·Level 1'

‘Description: The soil in the planting area has self-regulating abilities that can meet the planting needs of most mysterious crops. This regulating capacity applies to an entire block of soil and provides a 2 to 10 times growth rate enhancement.'

Opening a planting area cost 150 Mysterious Crystals, separate from the costs of development on the fourth level. It covered nine blocks of soil, arranged in a nine-grid pattern, each block of soil roughly one acre in size.

Not very large, but enough for planting some mysterious crops.

At the moment, the base had only the embarrassed An Jianyou, Wang Chui who was making equipment, and Wang Chui's apprentice. Fang You was too lazy to look for someone else and just rolled up his sleeves to get to work.

He used his Invisible Hand to plant one special seed after another and then opened the ‘Salvation Game-Base-Planting Area' interface to check.

‘Face Tree: Growing, time required until the next stage is…'

‘Heart Fruit Tree: Growing, time required until the next stage is…'

Indeed, they had sprung to life!

He actually tried outside as well and used the ‘Detection' skill to check the situation, which mostly resulted in failure to grow.

The planting environment required for mysterious crops is very demanding.

“It needs to be a Secret Realm or the Ghastly Realm… No, even in the Ghastly Realm, a special environment is required.”

“But my planting area can handle it, and even make them grow faster.”

The enhancement factor was dependent on the grade of the crop itself; the higher and more precious, and the more demanding of the environment, the lower the enhancement factor, and vice versa.

What he valued most, the Ming Deng Tree, was a low-grade mysterious plant that could enjoy a tenfold growth enhancement.

“The Ming Deng Trees I transplanted over are alive too, which means I can… prune of some branches without any problem, and they'll grow back quickly.”

“And there are other mysterious crops…”

Fang You was busy at work.

His Invisible Hand turned the soil, planting seeds or transplanting trees.

His methods were rough since he didn't understand the intricacies of tree planting, only relying on Xiao Huan to provide him with some theoretical experience to fumble through.

Luckily, the special soil in the planting area was potent enough, but even so, he figured a lot of the tree roots were damaged during transplant—his digging was even rougher.

His rough planting methods probably affected the growth enhancement factor as well.

No helping it, just staying alive was hard enough.

Being alive was good enough.

However, it would be better if there were professionals. When he planted ‘Skill Seeds,' it had been suggested that planting areas and growers could effectively reduce the usage loss of Skill Seeds.

After busying himself for half a day, he finally managed to plant most of the seeds, distributed among the nine blocks of special soil.

The Ming Deng Trees took up most of the area, occupying two sections.

As for the others, a total of over a dozen mysterious crops took up six sections, with one block reserved for rotating Skill Seeds.

It was crowded, with two or three different crops grown on the same block of soil, making adjustment difficult, and he couldn't manually intervene.

The planting area indicated a worrying growth condition.

It's worrying, but it's still the same old saying: being alive is good enough. The rest can be left to professionals when they arrive.

“All done.”

“Nowadays, the mysterious plants from both the Secret Realm and Ghastly Realm on the Blue Star side all have representation here, the types of mysterious materials have greatly expanded, and Silver Bell won't have to keep complaining about the lack of materials. Some potions that were previously stuck might get developed quickly.”

“And this is just the beginning. As time goes by, the scale of the planting garden will gradually expand, and we'll have more types of mysterious plants.”

He was looking forward to the day when the Torch Planting Garden would have a bountiful harvest.

Thinking this, he walked to a Ming Deng Tree. With a swipe of his Invisible Hand, a radiant branch flew into his hand.

“A living Ming Deng Tree has a moderate effect on dispersing the grey mist.”

“A branch of the Ming Deng Tree has a weak dispersing effect.”

“So, what's a more efficient way to use it?”

Fang You's pupils, flickering with the light of Detection, stared intently at the branch in front of him, seeking to extract more information.

It seemed there was a more efficient way to utilize it.

Branch, disperse, utilization.

Fang You thought of a word.

——Burning.
