An hour passed. Wen Xiangjie rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched comfortably, got out of bed, and pushed open the door of the small wooden house.
The 10 bare plots of land where Changpu Seeds had just been planted now had clusters of Calamus growing. When Wen Xiangjie’s gaze fell upon these Calamus plants, an information box popped up above them.
“Your plant, ‘Calamus,’ has matured and is ready for harvest.”
After selecting harvest, the Calamus automatically disappeared from the land.
“Ding! God-like Tycoon System talent activated! Your harvested plant ‘Calamus’ has received a hundredfold return!”
“Your 10 ‘Calamus’ have triggered a critical hit, and 1,000 ‘Calamus’ have been placed in your warehouse!”
Wen Xiangjie opened her game panel. The ‘Plants’ section, which was previously ‘None,’ had now changed to ‘Calamus × 1000.’
After choosing to sell all at once, the ‘Plants’ section on Wen Xiangjie’s game panel was cleared again, but the ‘Gold Coins’ section went directly from 0 to 15,000!
A principal of 100 gold coins had directly become 15,000 gold coins an hour later!
While other examinees were still anticipating a few tens or hundreds of gold coins after harvesting, Wen Xiangjie already possessed a massive sum of 15,000 gold coins!
With 15,000 gold coins, the first thing Wen Xiangjie did was upgrade all 25 ordinary plots of land.
Sharpening the axe doesn't delay chopping wood, after all. Upgraded land speeds up plant growth, leading to faster money-making.
Clicking the upgrade button above the first plot of land, after deducting 100 gold coins, the land’s name immediately changed to: “Low-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land: 1.5x acceleration function, unlocks 1 plot for 100 gold coins, can be upgraded ↑ (Upgrade conditions not yet met, all land must be upgraded to Low-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land before further upgrades are possible.)”
Isn’t it just upgrading all of them? It’s just a small amount of money!
Wen Xiangjie, being rich and generous, clicked the upgrade buttons above all 25 plots of land. The originally ordinary brown land visibly became a little more moist.
This Magic Farm is reliable; it gets things done as soon as money is paid.
After all the “Ordinary Land” was upgraded to “Low-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land,” the previously grayed-out “Continue Upgrade” button became available again.
Wen Xiangjie’s gaze fell on the upgrade button, and the effects of further land upgrades appeared.
“High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land: 2x acceleration function, unlocks 1 plot for 1,000 gold coins, can be upgraded ↑”
Only 1,000 gold coins to upgrade 1 plot? That cheap?
Wen Xiangjie only spent 2,500 gold coins to upgrade all her land to “Low-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land,” leaving her with 12,500 gold coins, enough to upgrade 12 more plots to “High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land.”
Wen Xiangjie thought for a moment and only upgraded one plot to “High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land” for now.
According to the shop’s previous prompt, whenever a new level of land was unlocked, the shop would refresh with new plant seeds. She needed to check the new plant seeds in the shop first before deciding how to allocate the remaining gold coins.
After the upgrade, the information for the next level of land was also unlocked.
“Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore: 3x acceleration function, unlocks 1 plot for 100,000 gold coins, can be upgraded ↑”
Wen Xiangjie walked to the small wooden house of the shop and knocked on the shop’s wooden sign.
The shop opened, and the items inside had indeed been updated significantly.
Seeds: Intermediate Seeds: Xiangyinglan Seed (50 gold coins, can harvest Xiangyinglan after 6 hours, sells for 300 gold coins.)
Cinnamon Seed (100 gold coins, can harvest Cinnamon after 12 hours, sells for 1,000 gold coins.)
“Intermediate seeds can only be planted on Low-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land and above.”
Advanced Seeds: Avens Seed (500 gold coins, can harvest Avens after 24 hours, sells for 3,000 gold coins, has an extremely low chance of directly generating Magic Plant: Creeping Cinquefoil.)
(Magic Plant: Creeping Cinquefoil: Has a chance to put evil creatures to sleep when attacking. The probability and duration of sleep vary depending on the evil creature’s level and attributes.)
Mandrake Seed (1,000 gold coins, can harvest Mandrake after 36 hours, sells for 6,000 gold coins, has an extremely low chance of directly generating Magic Plant: Mandrake.)
(Magic Plant: Mandrake: Can emit a continuous howl when attacking evil creatures, affecting their sanity. The degree of influence varies depending on the evil creature’s level and attributes.)
“Advanced seeds can only be planted on High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land and above.”
“Special-grade seeds require unlocking Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore.”
Weapons: mechanical arrow tower (1,000 gold coins, requires unlocking Advanced Arrow Tower.)
hybrid magic tower (5,000 gold coins, requires unlocking Advanced Magic Tower.)
Gate: Gold Element Magic Enchanted Gate (2,000 gold coins, requires unlocking Iron Gate.)
After reviewing the updated items in the shop, Wen Xiangjie began to brainstorm, her right index finger tapping rhythmically on the shop’s wooden window sill.
Whether considering plant growth or the effects of advanced seeds, upgrading to higher-level land undoubtedly had the highest priority.
With the God-like Tycoon System in hand, harvesting could trigger a hundredfold return, making Calamus, which had the shortest harvest time, more cost-effective.
This time, she upgraded directly to “High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land.” Four types of plant seeds were updated, only two types of weapons, and only one type of gate.
And advanced plants already had attack effects against evil creatures.
The Magic Farm Game Copy data only contained some basic information, with no detailed introductions to plant seeds, weapons, or the like.
Wen Xiangjie boldly speculated that the shop might no longer update new weapons and gates in the future.
In other words, as the level of evil creatures increased, the weapons and gates sold in the shop would eventually be unable to withstand evil creatures. The Magic Farm’s land and the magical plants growing from it were the core of this Magic Farm Game Copy.
However, it was only the first day of entering the game copy, and these weapons and gates in the shop were still very effective at resisting evil creatures.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to farm gold coins!
Farm lots and lots of gold coins!
Unlock the land effects as much as possible, and then farm magical plants with the highest efficiency!
Yes, not planting magical plants, but farming magical plants.
If she didn't use the verb “farm,” then her cheat would be for nothing!
Wen Xiangjie spent 11,000 gold coins to upgrade another 11 plots to “High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land” in one go.
Then, she planted Changpu Seeds on all 12 of these plots.
The Calamus, which originally took 1 hour to mature, now only needed half an hour.
Half an hour, it felt like she would just get back to bed and have to come out to farm again.
Wen Xiangjie sighed, “If you can plant and harvest with one click, why can’t you add a remote operation function? Magic Farm, your copy should also upgrade and keep up with the times. Although your background is the magic era, that doesn’t mean you can’t progress, right? Your awareness is still a bit low, huh…”
Muttering, Wen Xiangjie opened the door of the small wooden house, grunting as she dragged the small bed out and moved it next to the farm. Then she flopped herself onto the bed and continued to mutter.
“And this shop of yours, it only sells seeds and weapons and such. Why doesn’t it sell portable lounge chairs or something? It’s just the magic era that saved you; in modern society, a shop like yours would have been driven out of business long ago. You should think of ways to update some goods related to a farm owner’s daily life. That way, I enjoy it, you earn more, and we’re all happy…”
Perhaps hearing Wen Xiangjie’s muttering, the shop’s wooden sign flashed with a faint white light.
Half an hour later, the Calamus matured, triggering a hundredfold return critical hit. Wen Xiangjie once again received 18,000 gold coins in one go.
Wen Xiangjie spent 13,000 gold coins to upgrade the remaining 13 plots to “High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land” in one go, then planted all the land with Changpu Seeds.
After the three hours of novice protection time passed, and waiting a few more minutes to harvest and sell the last batch of Calamus, Wen Xiangjie lay on the wooden bed, lazily opening her game panel.
The information on it had completely changed.
“Magic Farm Owner: Wen Xiangjie”
“Funds: 112,380 Gold Coins”
“Land Status: 25 plots of High-level Catalyst Potion Enhanced Land”
“Owned Plants: None”
“Number of Farms Owned: 1”
“Time: Day 1 (Total 30 Days)”
“Talent: Record Change (God-like Tycoon System)”
A gold coin balance exceeding 100,000 would surely make other examinees exclaim, “Holy cow, she’s cheating!” if they saw it.
But to Wen Xiangjie, 100,000 gold coins would be depleted to zero by just upgrading one more plot of land; it wasn’t nearly enough.
However, Wen Xiangjie was not in a hurry to use these 100,000 gold coins to continue upgrading land, because the thick white fog around had turned gray, subtly shrouding an ominous aura.
This was the Magic Farm warning her that evil creatures were approaching her Magic Farm!
