“It's dark…” Wen Xiangjie looked up at the dimming sky, her expression serious: “It's time to have dinner and go to bed. Staying up too late isn't good for your health!”
She quickly finished her tasteless nutrient dinner in a few bites.
Although the sky had already darkened, the courtyard was not completely black. The vines wrapped around the fence emitted a faint green glow, illuminating the Magic Farm at night.
After a day of diligent planting, Wen Xiangjie's Magic Farm was no longer the dusty gray it had been in the morning.
Of them, 23 plots of land had turned from gray to green, and the remaining 2 plots of land even flashed with a green light from time to time.
That's right, after an afternoon of hard work, Wen Xiangjie successfully upgraded another Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore.
And the plants in the shop were updated with several new types after Wen Xiangjie acquired the Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore.
Special Grade Seeds: Tulip Seeds (5000 gold coins, can be harvested after 72 hours for tulip, sells for 30,000 gold coins, has a low chance of directly generating a magic plant tulip.)
(magic plant tulip: continuously emits single fire ball attacks, damage value varies based on the evil creature's level and attributes.)
Star Anise Seeds (5000 gold coins, can be harvested after 72 hours for Star Anise, sells for 30,000 gold coins, has a low chance of directly generating a Magic Plant: Star Anise.)
(Magic Plant: Star Anise: continuously emits single eight-point attacks, damage value varies based on the evil creature's level and attributes.)
Mint Seeds (5000 gold coins, can be harvested after 72 hours for Mint, sells for 30,000 gold coins, has a low chance of directly generating a Magic Plant: Mint.)
(Magic Plant: Mint: continuously emits single ice ball attacks, damage value varies based on the evil creature's level and attributes.)
Saffron Seeds (5000 gold coins, can be harvested after 72 hours for Saffron, sells for 30,000 gold coins, has a low chance of directly generating a Magic Plant: Saffron.)
(Magic Plant: Saffron: possesses purification effect on evil creatures, purification ability varies based on the evil creature's level and attributes.)
【Special Grade Seeds can only be planted on Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore and above.】
【Magic Seeds require unlocking Land Containing Natural Magic Energy.】
In addition to plant seeds being updated, the gate also updated with a new type.
【Dwarven Master's Meticulously Crafted Indestructible Gate: 100,000 gold coins, requires unlocking Metal Element Magic Enchanted Gate.】
Weapons, however, did not have any updates.
This also confirmed Wen Xiangjie's guess: from now on, the shop probably wouldn't update weapons anymore. The true weapons against evil creatures were these Magic Plants that had a chance to be directly cultivated from plant seeds!
Moreover, the income from Special Grade Seeds was a complete cliff-edge increase compared to the previous Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, and High-Grade Seeds. Changpu Seed could retire.
Because Special Grade Seeds could only be planted on Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore and other higher-level lands, and Wen Xiangjie happened to have not much gold left, only enough to buy two Special Grade Seeds, she bought one Tulip Seeds and one Star Anise Seeds and planted them on the Land with Buried Magic Crystal Ore.
For the remaining 23 plots of land, Wen Xiangjie planted Avens Seeds on all of them.
Although Magic Plant: Avens and Mandrake were only Magic Plants cultivated from High-Grade Seeds, their effects were very special and not inferior to the Magic Plants cultivated from these Special Grade Seeds.
One for control, one for interference; Wen Xiangjie needed both.
And with Avens accelerated, the 12-hour harvest time was just enough for her to get a good night's sleep and then wake up to harvest the crops.
After planting the last batch of plants before bed, Wen Xiangjie stretched, picked up the wooden bed, and painstakingly moved it back into the small wooden house.
Closing the door of the small wooden house, Wen Xiangjie washed up and then lay comfortably on her small bed, falling asleep instantly.
The sky turned from gray to dark, meaning night had completely fallen, and it also meant evil creatures would be out in large numbers.
Except for Wen Xiangjie, all the examinees were waiting in their courtyards, watching their farm gates, ready for battle.
The thick fog outside the fence had completely turned into an ink-like black. The rolling mist seemed to become viscous, yet it was strangely blocked from entering the farm by the green light emanating from the vines, unable to advance an inch.
Hoarse and unpleasant roars came from outside all the examinees' farms.
The examinees went to the wooden door and, through the gaps between the wooden planks, saw one twisted skeleton after another, dragging their bones and remaining scraps of flesh, approaching their farms.
“How can there be so many!” The examinees' faces instantly turned pale.
Some of these examinees had encountered evil creatures after the novice protection period ended, while some lucky ones had not encountered any evil creatures for an entire day.
But even the former had only encountered evil creatures appearing individually. They had never seen such a scene, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
Knowing that evil creatures would attack at night, all examinees had purchased ordinary arrow towers in advance.
The ordinary arrow tower was built of rough gray stone, with a cylindrical tower body. Five or six narrow firing holes were irregularly distributed around the tower body, and each hole hid an iron arrow.
When the Wandering Undead landed outside the farm, five or six iron arrows shot towards the foremost undead.
The iron arrows failed to penetrate the undead's body but got stuck in its bone crevices.
The foremost undead, struck by five or six iron arrows, fell to the ground, but soon, it stood up again in a bizarre and twisted posture, continuing to stagger towards the farm to attack.
While the leading undead fell and then got back up, another undead slowly walked to its front, taking its place as the leader.
The recharged arrow tower naturally set this new undead as its target and shot five or six iron arrows at it again.
The examinees who saw this scene changed their expressions drastically.
This is bad! The damage of ordinary arrow towers was already limited. One volley of arrows couldn't even trigger these undead's escape mechanism. Now, it was repeatedly locking onto new targets, dispersing the damage. They probably wouldn't even be able to drive away a single undead, let alone eliminate them, by the time these undead reached the farm gate!
This also meant that they would soon face a group of undead attacking their farm gate simultaneously, and with the durability of the wooden door, it wouldn't last long at all!
This damn arrow tower is too unintelligent!!!
There was nothing they could do; they could only grit their teeth and buy another arrow tower, or upgrade their arrow towers to advanced arrow towers.
Watching their already limited gold rapidly shrink, the examinees felt their hearts bleeding.
They had worked hard all day, and after deducting the money for buying seeds and upgrading land, they had only earned a few tens or hundreds of gold coins. These gold coins also had to be saved for buying more seeds and upgrading land tomorrow.
If they used too much gold tonight, their progress in upgrading the farm tomorrow would slow down significantly or even stagnate.
In that case, even if they managed to survive tonight, it would only be a slow death!
