Chapter 321: Chapter 312: The East Sea Dragon King Statue Upgrades!

With his things in hand, Han Qiwu hurried home, his heart yearning for home, pedaling his bike quickly.

Before Mr. Tang arrives, he quickly gets to work testing out the treasures he bought.

Treasure worth thirty thousand gold coins!

When he got home, Han Qiwu saw the Little Prince sitting on his burrow, staring longingly at the beehive with drool almost dripping onto the ground.

Han Qiwu chuckled and walked over, holding a jar of rapeseed honey in his hand, and smiled at the Little Prince, "Want a taste?"

The Little Prince’s narrowed eyes widened instantly, and he nodded eagerly at the sight of the golden honey, swallowing hard.

"Then take all your little siblings out to play today, and come back after dark. But you’re not allowed to go anywhere dangerous—only the hills and near the river. Can you complete this task?" Han Qiwu asked sternly.

The Little Prince immediately nodded, patting his chest to show his confidence.

Its owner’s serious expression worried it—thinking it must be another honey-earning job.

Taking little siblings out? Piece of cake.

"Then you can eat half of this honey now, and I’ll give you the other half when you bring everyone back after dark." Han Qiwu poured half the rapeseed honey into a small bowl and handed it to the Little Prince.

"Roar!"

The Little Prince didn’t mind—some is better than nothing.

After devouring the honey, the Little Prince showed a satisfied expression on its face. Savoring the taste briefly, it enthusiastically rallied Little Shui, Little Dian, and Xiao Lai, leading them out of the yard.

As for Little Snowball and the others, Han Qiwu planned to use the camouflage function to transform the icy landscape into barren fields. That way, they wouldn’t come out and make trouble.

Walking into his house, Han Qiwu took out an ancient bronze hoe. He found three rows of land south of the rice field and bent over to start plowing.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

After charging for a few seconds, Han Qiwu bent down sharply, and a green glow flashed across the ancient bronze hoe in his hand. In an instant, four plots of land in front of him were plowed.

"If I save up a bit more money, I can upgrade all the other tools to iron. That’d boost efficiency by another level." Han Qiwu thought to himself while continuing to work. Quickly, he had plowed thirty plots of land.

Ten plots for asparagus, twenty for roses.

The rose plots were within the honey-gathering range of both the Cliff Bees and the ancient bees.

"Rose honey should taste pretty good. Rose petals can also be used to make snacks, like rose-flavored ice powder," Han Qiwu mused to himself as he took out the rose seeds to examine.

[Rose Seeds: Plant in spring, blooms in 8 days, flowering seasons: Spring/Summer]

[Note: Rose seeds may sprout into many different rose varieties]

"Many varieties of roses?" Han Qiwu smiled. The only rose variety he knew was Calola, and he wasn’t familiar with the others.

But that’s okay. Once they grow, he’ll know what they look like.

After planting twenty rose seeds, Han Qiwu took out the asparagus seeds for inspection.

[Asparagus Seeds: Plant in spring, matures in 21 days, may sprout multiple clumps; after maturity, harvestable every 7 days]

"Asparagus seed yield is so high?" Han Qiwu was a bit surprised. Judging by its description, the plant may sprout multiple clumps upon maturity, and every seven days thereafter you can harvest each clump again.

"No wonder the peddler wouldn’t sell these earlier. The seeds’ value is just too high." Han Qiwu laughed, glad he had made good relations with the peddler earlier, or else he might not have had the chance to buy asparagus seeds.

More precisely, he had made good relations with the peddler’s pig.

After finishing planting the asparagus, Han Qiwu grabbed the brass watering can and carefully watered each of the plots.

When all the seeds were planted, he pulled out the so-called Dragon Essence to examine it.

[Dragon Essence]

[Purpose: Enhance consumables]

[Usage: Smash and apply to the item you wish to upgrade. Each Dragon Essence can be used on one item only.]

[Note: Rumored to be made from dragon horns]

The Dragon Essence looked like a golden horn, its texture brittle. Han Qiwu reckoned he could break it with just a bit of excessive force.

"Only usable on one item, huh? Might as well use it on the East Sea Dragon King statue." Han Qiwu lamented its exclusivity. When he read the instructions about smashing and applying, he instinctively thought of sprinkling some powder on dragon whisker grass to boost its yield.

"I’ll check next time to see if new stock arrives. The current output of dragon whisker grass is still adequate." Han Qiwu picked up the Dragon Essence, stepped into the house, and grabbed an enamel cup, wrapping the essence with bun-making gauze cloth before hammering away.

After several minutes, the Dragon Essence had turned into golden powder, resembling paint used in Thangkas—its color even and bright.

Carefully collecting the powder, Han Qiwu walked to the East Sea Dragon King statue and applied the powder with his hand as a brush.

Ten minutes later, the originally pale blue-white statue of the East Sea Dragon King was entirely golden.

It exuded an air of luxury.

Golden elegance.

With the final stroke done, Han Qiwu straightened up and stood by, waiting.

A few seconds later, the golden powder on the statue began to pulse like it was breathing, dimming with each flicker.

But Han Qiwu noticed that the color wasn’t disappearing—it was sinking deeper into the statue.

Thirty seconds later, all of the Dragon Essence powder had been absorbed by the statue. Its overall color transformed into pale gold.

Han Qiwu also noticed that the dragon horns atop the statue had turned a rich golden hue, resembling the shade of the original Dragon Essence powder.

[Dragon Essence applied successfully. East Sea Dragon King statue upgraded to East South Sea Dragon King statue.]

Han Qiwu: "???"

South East Sea?

There’s an upgrade system?

If I apply two more times, will it become the North-South-East-West Sea Dragon King?

Oh well, the name doesn’t matter; the attribute upgrades are the real deal.

He stepped forward to inspect the attributes.

[East South Sea Dragon King Statue (Gold Star Quality)]

[Material: Bone]

[Special Effect - Favorable Weather: Monthly rainfall on all farm planting plots, adjustable manually; unused instances cannot carry over.]

[Special Effect - Revitalize: Random rainfall on all tree planting plots within seven days; reduces tree growth time and increases mutation chance.]

[Special Effect - Growth Light: After absorbing five days of sunlight, the South East Sea will emit growth light at night, increasing wood drop quantity from trees.]

[Note: Each upgrade provides new special effects.]

These attributes are insane!

The five thousand gold was worth every penny!
