Chapter 8: You want me to steal shit? ! ! !

Inside the city.

Li Ping'an walked around.

He bought a lot of supplies and some fine wine, then left with them.

The farmland in Da Huai Village was growing well.

The corn that had been destroyed was now all over a dozen centimeters tall, a vast expanse of verdant green.

The fields were not lacking in moisture and there were no weeds.

Li Ping'an only circled here once before heading to the Spirit Field.

The corn here was growing vigorously, and the weeds in the field were also growing rapidly.

After setting up a rain shelter, Li Ping'an plunged into the cornfield to weed.

He worked until noon, clearing all the weeds, and happily gained 10 cultivation points.

For the next few days, Li Ping'an lived a very relaxed life.

He would wander around the fields when he had nothing to do, then find a cool spot and sit for half the day.

This was truly how a farmer should be: at ease, carefree, and joyful.

On the sixth day.

The soil finally became dry, but not severely.

Watering the thirty mu of farmland in Da Huai Village once yielded 60 cultivation points, and the two mu of Spirit Field yielded 20 points.

Adding the previous surplus, he now had 110 cultivation points available for use.

However, his spiritual power value was depleting too quickly, with only 2800 points remaining, so it was time to replenish it.

(Ding: 20 cultivation points deducted, gained 10 spiritual power, 10 spiritual power, 10 spiritual power, 20 spiritual power, 3000 spiritual power.)

(Gained 100 spiritual power, 1000 spiritual power, 2000 spiritual power, 10 spiritual power, 90 spiritual power, gained 5000 spiritual power...)

A series of sounds.

Did not bring Li Ping'an much joy.

After all, 20 cultivation points exchanged for over 20,000 points in total, which, added to the previous stored amount, made exactly 30,000 points.

During this period, there was not a single reward of over ten thousand, failing to stir his heartstrings.

"Start adding points, distribute them evenly."

Li Ping'an gave the command.

He had a particular fondness for strength, but without defense, he would feel pain, and without speed, he couldn't even escape.

In short, these three attributes were all very practical, and he simply couldn't show any favoritism or make any trade-offs.

(Ding: 90 cultivation points deducted, Strength increased by 300, Speed increased by 300, Defense increased by 300.)

At this moment,

Li Ping'an sat upright, feeling the increase in his own strength and various muscle functions.

His skin became tighter, and a little smoother too.

After this round of adding points, all three attributes reached 2110 points, and his combat power increased to 633 points.

He felt full of strength, really wanting to find someone to fight and test the effects.

"Owoo~ Owoo~"

Just then.

Three evil wolves emerged from the mountain valley forest.

They locked onto Li Ping'an, approaching with coordinated movements.

"You want to eat me?"

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my fists."

Li Ping'an rolled up his sleeves and charged towards the three evil wolves.

The evil wolves were cunning and all turned to run.

However, Li Ping'an's speed was too fast; he caught up to one in three to five steps, grabbed its tail, and effortlessly sent it soaring into the air.

"Swish~"

Li Ping'an pushed off with both feet, chasing the second one.

He still threw it into the air, then went after the third.

Just as the first one was about to land, Li Ping'an returned, delivering a powerful punch that made the evil wolf howl, its internal organs shattered.

"Bang~ Bang~"

Li Ping'an delivered two more punches, leaving the evil wolves with no power to retaliate.

Extremely fast speed, smooth movements.

In one fluid motion, he effortlessly killed three evil wolves, without any pressure.

"Farmers are not easy to eat."

Li Ping'an felt full of confidence.

He grabbed the three wolf tails with one hand, dragged them to a shady spot nearby, and used a woodcutting knife to skin them.

After the wolf hides dried, they could be exchanged for money or goods, and the wolf meat could be roasted and eaten...

That day, it seemed to enter the rainy season.

It rained every few days, and the corn grew extremely well, but the acquisition of cultivation points was greatly reduced.

In ten days, Li Ping'an only obtained 40 cultivation points, and all of them were earned through the most arduous method of weeding.

What was even more exasperating was that.

Because Li Ping'an was too diligent, the weeds stopped growing.

The System had also reminded him that he could fertilize.

The problem was, in this world, fertilization only involved excrement, and this place was very far from Tiankui City; he couldn't possibly push dung buckets one cart at a time with a wheelbarrow, could he?

Li Ping'an didn't care though.

The problem was, once someone with malicious intent found out and exploited it, they would surely spread the news throughout the entire city, and if it reached An Lan's ears, he would definitely strongly object!

System: 'Host, actually, there isn't no way.'

Li Ping'an asked, "What way?"

System: 'This System's built-in warehouse can store buckets of natural fertilizer that have been prepared.'

'Host can return to Tiankui City and steal dung when it's dark and no one is around.'

Li Ping'an's mouth twitched violently, "Damn it~ You want me to steal dung?! No, absolutely not, even dogs don't steal dung!"

System: 'You figure it out.'

Li Ping'an pondered deeply and finally found a solution.

He could completely go to those villages and buy some dried animal fertilizer that had been prepared.

Acting on his thought, Li Ping'an ran wildly through the mountains, heading east.

There was no one in Da Huai Village anymore, but to the east, closer to Tiankui City, there were several relatively large villages.

He remembered that the village chief of Ma Family Village had a horse farm with many horses, so there must be a lot of horse dung.

Li Ping'an's full-speed running was much faster than a strong horse, and he didn't need to pick his path carefully.

He would directly jump down shallow ravines and then spring back up, even able to cross distances of over ten meters.

Half an hour later.

Li Ping'an arrived at Ma Family Village.

He looked from afar and indeed found a large amount of horse dung in the open space outside the horse farm; long-term workers were turning it to dry, and others were putting the dried dung into sacks.

Although these things had a pungent smell, many large farming households would buy them with money.

Li Ping'an did not go to find the horse farm owner; he waited until no one was around before quickly approaching the wooden shed where the horse dung was piled.

With a wave of his hand, he swiftly collected a large pile of bagged horse dung.

Then he threw down a small bag of gold coins and quickly departed...

"Where's the dung?"

"Where's the prepared horse dung?"

"Damn it, what kind of person is this, stealing even dung?!"

Soon after, angry shouts came from the horse farm.

"Eh~ There's a small bag of gold coins here, a full twenty gold coins!"

"Heh, this dung thief is quite nice..."

The long-term workers laughed, very happy.

At the Spirit Field.

Li Ping'an took out a bag of horse dung, cut an opening with a sickle, held one corner of the sack with one hand, and began to walk through the farmland.

His arm occasionally trembled a few times, trying to spread the horse dung as perfectly as possible.

(Ding: Cultivation points +50)

After fertilizing one mu of Spirit Field, Li Ping'an was shocked, "Holy cow, spreading dung is so profitable?!"

System: 'Of course, when the Host sets aside his status to steal dung, not fearing dirt or fatigue, he is bound to have a harvest.'

Li Ping'an became even more energetic, "Correction, I didn't steal; I paid."

System: 'Stealing to buy is also stealing.'

"Pedantic thinking." Li Ping'an muttered, quickly spreading the dung.

After finishing the two mu of Spirit Field, he obtained a total of 100 cultivation points, and then headed straight for Da Huai Village.

After fertilizing here as well, his total cultivation points reached 290, which somewhat made up for the gains of the past few days.

There was still a lot of horse dung.

Li Ping'an also wanted to fertilize again, but the System informed him that too much was not good and would affect the crop yield.

The System also said that if Spirit Stones were buried in the ground, or if it was nourished with Immortal Dew, the yield could be greatly increased.

However, Spirit Stones were very valuable.

They were not sold in the city; any influential Families who obtained Spirit Stones used them for themselves.

As for Immortal Dew, for Li Ping'an now, it was undoubtedly a legend.

As for the excess horse dung, Li Ping'an didn't want to keep it in the System's warehouse indefinitely, so he found an abandoned courtyard in Da Huai Village and stored it all there.

With the addition of fertilizer, the corn grew even better.

In just five days, the corn in the Spirit Field had already tasseled; at this rate, it would be ready for harvest in less than half a month.

Looking at Da Huai Village where it was only waist-high, the Spirit Field and ordinary farmland truly couldn't compare.

It rained again.

Nourishing the land, but also hindering Li Ping'an's continuous progress.

The next day, at noon.

Li Ping'an had just finished eating when a man and a woman approached from not far away.

They were unfamiliar, he had never seen them before.

The man on the left stopped five meters in front of Li Ping'an, took out a portrait of a face, unfolded it, and compared it.

The portrait indeed bore some resemblance to Li Ping'an.

The woman spoke, her voice a little cold, "There's no mistake, it's him."

"Mm." The man nodded lightly, put away the scroll, and said indifferently, "Someone paid for your life. My blade is fast, it won't hurt."

The woman took out some paper money and lit it, "I'm burning money to send you off; you won't be poor as a ghost."

"Heh~" In his nervousness, Li Ping'an also found it a bit funny, "You assassins are quite kind-hearted..."
