Chapter 314: Chapter 305: The Special Effects of the Spring Water

Han Qiwu took out the Red Sun fishing rod, sat on the big green rock, and cast his hook into the small stone pond below.

"Splash."

The hook entered the water, creating a small spray, with one droplet landing right on the back of Han Qiwu’s hand.

[Absorbable special water source: Stone Pond Water (Normal Quality)]

Seeing the prompt formed by the water stain in front of him, Han Qiwu froze.

He had touched this water before but never saw this prompt.

"Looks like some special prompts in this game only appear after certain conditions are met," Han Qiwu concluded, setting down the Red Sun and turning to take out a small golden basin containing a miniature source spring eye and placing it on the ground.

"How should I make it absorb?" Han Qiwu scratched his head, took out a jar, bent over to scoop up a jar of Stone Pond Water, and cautiously poured some into the golden basin as a test.

[Absorbing Stone Pond Water (11%)]

So that’s how it works.

Relieved, Han Qiwu continued to carefully pour the Stone Pond Water from the jar into the golden basin until the progress bar reached 100%.

[Stone Pond Water absorption complete. Source spring effect upgraded to generate 3.6 portions of spring water daily.]

[Prompt: Only one full portion of spring water can be taken out at a time. Remaining water can be stored, with a maximum storage capacity of 50 portions.]

"That’s it? Only an increase of 0.6 portions?" Han Qiwu pouted indignantly.

Of course, despite his words, he was secretly pleased.

After all, it didn’t take much effort, and every little improvement counts.

This means that in the future, he could bring special water from other places for the spring to absorb.

After pouring out the remaining Stone Pond Water, Han Qiwu picked up the Red Sun again and went back to fishing.

Half an hour later, his inventory included four river flounders.

Putting away the Red Sun, he prepared to head downhill alongside the setting sun.

For safety’s sake, he decided to take the same route back. Although it meant fewer gains, it would be faster.

After walking for about ten minutes, Han Qiwu casually glanced at the small stream beside him.

He spotted another cluster of shiny snails.

Checking their stats carefully, Han Qiwu found that they were all male snails, with no real cultivation value.

He should just eat them then.

Luckily, he gathered water celery and pepper leaves today—making spicy stir-fried snails to leisurely slurp down would be amazing!

Rolling up his pant legs, Han Qiwu stepped into the stream wearing his flip-flops, shivering as chills ran through him.

It was icy cold.

In just twenty minutes, Han Qiwu managed to dig up dozens of snails.

That’s enough for a big plate!

Glancing at the sky, Han Qiwu continued downhill. Soon, he reached the foot of the mountain, hopped on his electric scooter, and cruised back home.

Upon returning home, Han Qiwu pushed open the door and immediately heard the playful sounds of Little Prince and Little Shui. Following the noise, he spotted Little Prince juggling three balls with both hands, making the snowballs spin and tumble with impressive flair.

[Hunting Pet: Little Prince has returned from foraging. Satiety +99]

[Foraging Reward: Lumber ×110, Osmanthus Lumber ×1, Osmanthus Saplings ×11, Unripe Peppercorns]

[Post-foraging Little Prince is in an excellent mood]

[Fishing Pet: Little Shui has returned from fishing. Satiety +79]

[Fishing Reward: Crawfish ×2, Bass ×4]

[Post-fishing Little Shui is very pleased]

Little Prince’s timber harvest today was quite impressive. Although the osmanthus lumber was scarce, the number of saplings and regular lumber made up for it.

The unripe peppercorns, though, seemed a bit unusual.

Why would Little Prince pick these?

With questions in mind, Han Qiwu skillfully grabbed the resting Xiao Dian to interrogate it.

Xiao Dian: "???"

How is this my problem?!

Maybe its brain is broken!

Why are you asking me?!

Looking into Xiao Dian’s eyes, Han Qiwu successfully gleaned its inner thoughts through this window.

Thus.

"Vines!"

Han Qiwu raised his hand, controlling nearby tree branches to come over and layer upon layer, tying up Xiao Dian and giving it a free over-the-shoulder ride.

After half a spin, Xiao Dian confessed.

The reason was simple.

Last time, it had stolen a peppercorn directly in front of Little Prince and exaggerated its delight while acting like an uncontrollably crazed bird.

Under Xiao Dian’s influence, Little Prince went out early today to find a few identical peppercorns to bring back.

Thankfully, it had been too busy playing and hadn’t had time to eat them yet.

Han Qiwu stored the unripe peppercorns and entered the kitchen. Taking a large basin, he dumped the snails in, washed them several times, and then soaked them in water with a bit of oil.

"Oil? Oh right, since I brought back the source spring, I should ask Master Shuzi to reforge this little golden basin into gold ingots to use with the oil press later! The canola flowers are almost ready to harvest."

Han Qiwu went to the courtyard, carefully choosing a spot to place the miniature source spring eye near his front door on the right. f.reewebn.ovel.co\m

Taking out the little golden basin, Han Qiwu aimed at the chosen plot and selected "Place."

After clicking, the golden basin flew out from his hand and hovered over the plot, slowly tipping itself.

The source spring eye within, accompanied by dozens of pebbles, flowed out and quickly formed an identical source spring eye on the ground.

In just a dozen seconds, the basin was emptied, and the source spring eye was brimming with water.

To his surprise, Han Qiwu noticed three phantom-like water droplets hovering over the spring eye. Looking down, he saw three crystal-clear water droplets condensed on the pebbles.

"Looks like I don’t have to wait until tomorrow after all." Han Qiwu enthusiastically collected the water droplets.

[Spring Water]

[Usage: Material]

[Remarks: Spring water ding-dong, spring water ding-dong, spring water ding-dong sounds!]

Just like the remarks from the previous source spring eye, the uses of spring water seemed to require personal exploration.

Han Qiwu thought for a moment, took out a bottle of Thunder Milk, placed it nearby, and added a drop of spring water.

On the surface of the pure white Thunder Milk, a ring of electric current rippled out.

It didn’t look like much had changed.

[Thunder Milk (Silver Star Quality☆)]

[Stamina +280]

[Health +150]

[Remarks: Its taste rivals vodka.]

It changed, it changed!

Thunder Milk had upgraded from normal quality to Silver Star quality!

Stamina and health restoration also increased accordingly!

"This is amazing!" Han Qiwu was elated. With spring water, he could actively upgrade the quality of certain items to achieve better effects!

He grabbed the Silver Star Thunder Milk in front of him and took a big gulp.

As soon as the Thunder Milk touched his mouth, he felt a soul-stirring numbness shooting through him, like he was about to ascend.

Simultaneously, from his mouth to his stomach, a fiery line rapidly spread, blazing intensely.

It took him a full two or three minutes to recover. Shaking his head, Han Qiwu wobbled over to the lounge chair, relaxed into position, and took another big swig.

"The remarks didn’t lie. This stuff’s way stronger than vodka!"

Most importantly, drinking alcohol harms your body, but this stuff actually nourishes it!

Fantastic!
