Chapter 322: Chapter 313 Mr. Tang is Here!

The changes in attributes mainly reflect on the special effects, among which the ’Favorable Weather’ effect has increased by two additional uses. Moreover, Han Qiwu glanced at it—it has already taken effect this month.

The interval for ’Recuperate’ has also been reduced by three days, accelerating the growth of the osmanthus saplings.

Most importantly, it has added a very enticing new special effect: Light of Growth.

How pleasant would it be if chopping down a single tree dropped four or five pieces of wood!

"Absorbing light during the day and emitting light at night? Isn’t this just like a Luminous Pearl?" Han Qiwu chuckled. He planned to observe its luminescence later. If the light turned out to be too intense, he’d need to get some curtains.

After checking out the East South Sea Dragon King statue, Han Qiwu walked to the nearby fishpond, raised his hand, and released two Flying Fish fry into the water, taking a moment to look at their attributes.

[Flying Fish Fry]

[Maturation Time: More than 10 days]

[Produce: Flying Fish Roe, Flying Fish Fin]

The maturation time for the Flying Fish fry was indeed not short, but for deliciousness, Han Qiwu was willing to wait.

Swimming in the water, the Flying Fish fry gleamed with a deep blue hue, looking quite beautiful. Their fins and gills formed precise 90-degree angles, appearing very elegant. The two fry cautiously glanced around before swimming together to the algae host, where they started devouring it unreservedly.

"Eat well, eat plenty. Grow up quickly so I can see you perform someday." Han Qiwu laughed and walked over to the strawberry patch nearby.

Earlier, upon seeing the radiance of growth from the East South Sea Dragon King statue, he calculated that today happened to be when the cooldown for the skill Rainbow Sunshine ended.

Had it not been for Rainbow Sunshine’s assistance in reducing the strawberries’ maturation time, he would have had to wait another week to taste them.

"There are 46 days left until the end of spring. If I harvest strawberries at intervals of 12 days each time, I can only manage three more harvests." Han Qiwu pondered beside the strawberry field.

"Although the effect of Rainbow Sunshine is halved when used consecutively on the same crop, if this time’s Rainbow Sunshine is used on strawberries, their maturation time can be reduced by three days, which would allow for four harvests before spring ends!"

Han Qiwu was tempted.

An entire extra harvest of strawberries translates to tens of thousands of gold!

Let’s do it!

Han Qiwu raised his hand towards the strawberry field, just about to activate Rainbow Sunshine when he suddenly remembered that there were still ten strawberry sprouts yet to be picked.

"Might as well do it tonight, or I’d lose six thousand gold."

Glancing at the time, he walked over to the nearby grove, rubbing his hands together excitedly, and retrieved the Miniature Forest of All Trees.

A treasure worth thirty thousand gold.

Was its mysterious potential finally about to be unveiled?

The Miniature Forest of All Trees appeared outwardly as a crystal ball-like handicraft. Inside was a tiny landmass sprouting various trees. Based on their external appearance, all kinds of tree species were represented, including ones Han Qiwu could name—cedar, pine, weeping willows, hazelnut trees, banana trees, maple trees, and more.

[Miniature Forest of All Trees]

[Purpose: Provides Wood]

[Area Required: 10×10]

[Special Effect–All Trees: The Miniature Forest of All Trees replenishes 30 trees in a designated area every day. Tree species and ages are randomized, and the number replenished increases with the total logging count.]

[Note: The Forest of All Trees has hidden utility.]

"Area required is 10×10? Does that mean there’s a chance for it to replenish up to 100 trees daily in the future? The potential here is enormous." Han Qiwu measured the Miniature Forest of All Trees with satisfaction and placed it behind the osmanthus grove.

Upon touching ground, the Miniature Forest of All Trees expanded with the wind into a vast, verdant area.

This area was roughly divided into two sections, each occupying half.

The front half was the chopping zone, which had already refreshed today’s quota of 30 trees ready for harvesting.

The rear half was the Forest of All Trees, containing the miniature trees previously seen in their scaled-down state, now suspended in the void, waiting to be refreshed into the chopping zone.

"This is way too convenient." Han Qiwu was delighted, grabbing his axe as he approached the chopping zone. He immediately spotted five red maple trees, their palmately lobed leaves glowing bright red, vibrant in color.

Their hue painted a forest of late autumn charm, as though bringing spring back home.

Unhesitatingly, Han Qiwu pulled out his Flashmoon Iron Axe and swung it towards the nearest red maple tree.

The Miniature Forest of All Trees was at its most effective when continuously harvested, so Han Qiwu planned to chop down all 30 trees every day to expedite its growth potential.

"Clang! Clang!"

Two strikes, and the maple tree collapsed instantly.

[Wood]×2

[Frozen Maple Sap]×1

[Frozen Maple Sap]

[Purpose: Ingredient / Material]

[Special Effect–Sweetness: Maple sap has a high sugar content, and tasting it brings delight and enhances mood.]

[Note: Maple sap can be processed into maple syrup in the mill.]

[Absorbs special water sources: Frozen Maple Sap (Standard Quality)]

"Maple syrup?!" Han Qiwu’s eyes lit up. He had tasted it before at a friend’s place—paired with bread and milk, its unique flavor was unforgettable.

Should I give it a try?

Looking at the caramel-toned Frozen Maple Sap, Han Qiwu contemplated briefly before abandoning the tempting idea.

Better keep chopping for now.

If he gets a good amount later, he’ll share it with Mr. Tang.

"Clang! Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!"

Han Qiwu swiftly chopped down all five maple trees.

Perhaps due to their high maturity, the five maple trees produced four portions of Frozen Maple Sap, as well as a maple tree sapling.

What a treat.

With the four portions of Frozen Maple Sap, he intended to give one to the spring, keep one for himself, share one with Mr. Tang, and use the remaining one to make maple syrup at the mill.

The planning was airtight.

Feeling a bit tired from chopping, Han Qiwu took out one portion of Frozen Maple Sap.

The sap presented itself as caramel-colored ice shards, each portion containing three pieces—a reasonable amount.

Han Qiwu tossed a shard into his mouth.

The unique sweetness of maple sugar spread from the tip of his tongue straight to his heart. The iciness added another layer of experience, and a few seconds later, as the warmth of his mouth melted it, the sweetness blossomed in waves.

"Delicious! No, it’s divine." Han Qiwu smiled in satisfaction, turning his gaze to the other trees, all of which were poplar trees, standing tall and straight.

Hopefully, there will still be maple trees tomorrow.

Han Qiwu ate another shard of Frozen Maple Sap, then turned around and planted the maple sapling beside the osmanthus trees. He continued wielding his axe, moving on to chop down the poplar trees.

Half an hour later.

Han Qiwu picked up the last piece of wood dropped by the poplar trees. Before he managed to check his phone, the ringtone sounded on its own.

"I’m almost there. Are you home?" Mr. Tang’s voice sounded weak.

Han Qiwu replied, "I’m home. Are you not feeling well? You sound exhausted."

"That’s great! I’ll be there in three minutes. Could you prepare something to eat? The weather’s so hot, I didn’t have much of an appetite this morning." Tang Qingying said quickly. Just thinking about the delicious food at Han Qiwu’s place seemed to revive her spirits.

People need their meals to keep their strength.

Skipping one makes you feel famished.
