Chapter 568: The Base Begins to Play Its Role
"Since we’ve chosen, there’s no turning back. Let’s help Xu Yi manage this base well. I’ll plant more vegetables, so when Bai Yu comes, it can take more back for Xu Yi and the others. Let’s go, harvest all the vegetables from the field, and then have Lightning take them back to Xu Yi and the others." Saying this, Cheng Jie took out some meat from a level 5 peak Fierce Beast and placed it in front of Lightning.
Lightning lay there resting, probably needing to rest before returning.
During this time, they could harvest some vegetables to bring to Xu Yi and the others, utilizing the functions of the base.
So, the two of them quickly went to harvest vegetables.
Currently, there aren’t many types of vegetables in the base that can be harvested: there are bok choy, green onions, lettuce, cabbage, and spinach.
Because these vegetables inherently have short growing cycles.
After arriving at Spirit Blue Star, the speed increased.
The others aren’t suitable for consumption yet; harvesting them now would be too wasteful.
After finishing the harvest, Cheng Jie and Liu Li placed the vegetables into the Star Charts.
The quantity wasn’t much, only filling two Star Charts.
Then Cheng Jie and Liu Li took the Star Charts and went back.
Lightning was still lying there asleep, not touching the Fierce Beast meat.
The two of them carefully hung the backpacks back on Lightning’s neck, placed the two Star Charts inside, and continued with their work.
By the time they returned in the evening, Lightning had already left.
When Lightning went back, Bai Yu also set off.
On the way back, Lightning was noticeably faster.
Because on the way here, it encountered a small opportunity which enhanced its strength.
Unfortunately, no one followed Lightning.
Even the Spirit Race didn’t keep an eye on Lightning, so no one knows what it went through.
Time flies particularly fast; whenever you’re cultivating, time seems to pass especially quickly.
However, for the viewers, whenever Xu Yi and the others start cultivating, time seems to pass particularly slowly.
Because when they open the video, they’re always cultivating, and there’s nothing much to watch.
Watching continuously for several hours becomes particularly boring.
Because they’re not streamers, there’s no interaction with viewers.
It’s like a novel with a bunch of descriptive text but no storyline. Such novels, no one can sit through.
Soon, Xu Yi completed the 277th day’s check-in.
Two days left, Xu Yi can receive the gift for the ninth month.
Besides this, Xu Yi is particularly excited about something else.
That is reaching level 5 peak. Starting cultivation today, Xu Yi felt he had touched its edge.
By noon, Xu Yi found his Spiritual Power couldn’t increase anymore.
This means he had reached level 5 peak.
The process in between didn’t have much change. After all, level 5 peak is still level 5, there’s no obvious difference, just an increase in strength and Spiritual Power.
"Xu Yi, Lightning has returned. But you were so focused on cultivating, so I didn’t let it disturb you." Lu Ke said as she saw Xu Yi return to the camp.
Then, a black shadow dashed towards Xu Yi. It was Lightning, back for half a day, who hadn’t seen Xu Yi for many days and naturally missed him a lot.
Xu Yi played with it for a while and then returned to Lu Ke’s side.
"I’ll handle the cooking from now on. I’ve reached level 5 peak." Xu Yi said to Lu Ke. Each meal takes about an hour, which Lu Ke could completely use for cultivation.
After all, Lu Ke is the fastest at cultivating among them, and likely the first to break through to level 5 peak.
Additionally, Xu Yi plans to enter the level 6 Fierce Beast territory after receiving the September gift package.
Two days left, Xu Yi can take some rest, then cook plenty of food to store in the Star Chart, so Lu Ke and the others can heat it slightly when needed.
Upon hearing Xu Yi’s words, Lu Ke wasn’t particularly surprised.
Given Xu Yi’s astonishing cultivation speed.
"No worries, I cultivate a bit faster than them." Lu Ke said with a sweet smile, not wanting to waste Xu Yi’s time.
"Be good, also give me your larger Star Chart, I’ll cook more, so we can just keep it warm each day without needing to cook each day. In two days, I’ll enter the level 6 Fierce Beast territory for cultivation." Xu Yi said straightforwardly.
Lu Ke listened, then handed over a ladle and pot to Xu Yi.
"By the way, Sister Li and the others had Lightning bring some vegetables back, they’re in these two Star Charts." Saying this, Lu Ke handed Xu Yi the Star Charts taken off Lightning.
"Oh, there’s already vegetables ready to eat?" Xu Yi was surprised as he took them, then scanned them with Spiritual Power.
"There are quite a few varieties, and they look pretty plump. It seems we’re in for a treat." Xu Yi said happily and then took out some of each vegetable, preparing to cook them and taste the flavor.
"Yes, let me help, so we can have a break tonight." Lu Ke took out several foldable deep basins and started cleaning the vegetables.
After half an hour, everyone gradually returned.
There were already seven or eight dishes on the table.
Though no one felt anything special.
Xu Yi brought quite a bit of dehydrated vegetables. After soaking, they look quite similar to normal vegetables, unless one pays special attention, it’s hard to spot the difference.
"Hey, these vegetables seem different today, so tender, did anyone notice?" Wang Jin remarked immediately after tasting, noticing the difference in texture.
"Yes, yes, it’s exceptionally delicious, unlike the dehydrated ones we’ve had before," Su Yan nodded energetically, then glanced at Lu Ke with some confusion.
They assumed today’s dishes were cooked by Lu Ke.
"These are vegetables planted at Base Alpha, Cheng Jie and Liu Li had Lightning bring some back," Xu Yi explained.
"So quickly, they haven’t planted them for long at all." Lu Yao was stunned, finding it a bit unbelievable.
Xu Yi picked up a piece of bok choy with chopsticks, eating it before saying, "Could be due to the Spiritual Energy, speeding up plant growth. Also, these vegetables contain more energy than the ones we brought with us. So planting was a success. When humans start living on this planet, farming can commence."
"No wonder, I kept thinking it wasn’t just the texture, turns out it’s the energy," Qin Fan remarked, suddenly understanding.
The dishes on the table were quickly finished.
After lunch, everyone tidied up and then went to the boundary between levels 5 and 6 to continue cultivating.
They’ve discovered the Fierce Beasts here have lost the interest in attacking other creatures.
They come here with only one goal, to break through level 6. Fighting here would be a waste of time.
Therefore, safety can be temporarily set aside.
In addition, Li Kang’s team has appeared nearby. But they didn’t come to bother Xu Yi and the others.
With 40 Fierce Beasts, they don’t need to worry about safety anymore.
