CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 393: EXCHANGE POINTS FOR TREASURES! PANDA DEN? (4K FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS)_2
This time, the hatched fire turkey egg still produced a baby fire turkey.
Han Qiwu patted its head, fed it with a bag of feed, and carefully placed it inside the Phoenix Tree No. 2 house.
When comparing the two baby fire turkeys’ sizes, Han Qiwu was somewhat surprised. The growth speed of the baby fire turkey was much faster than its mother breed, the speckled hen. After just two or three days, its size had already grown several times larger, equivalent to five or six days of growth for the speckled hen.
"It’s growing so fast!" Han Qiwu nodded with satisfaction; it seemed the baby fire turkey had a hidden rapid-growth trait.
Fortunately, the cost-effectiveness of the primary chicken coop was high enough. When more chicks were born later, he could keep building primary chicken coops.
Thankfully, the purple alfalfa and dragon beard grass on the farm were self-sustaining and didn’t need watering by him.
Otherwise, just gathering feed for this group of chicks would have been a real hassle.
"If the traveling merchant still has seeds for this kind of feed tomorrow, that would be great." Han Qiwu thought to himself as he walked around the yard, picking the mature purple alfalfa and dragon beard grass.
He harvested a total of 76 portions.
The yield was impressive.
A gain with zero costs.
After turning all of it into feed, Han Qiwu grabbed his axe and walked over to examine the osmanthus tree saplings near his home.
After growing for quite some time, the osmanthus tree saplings previously planted had reached over ten meters tall. Though it hadn’t bloomed yet, the scent of osmanthus flowers could faintly be detected from the tree trunk.
"Cultivate a tree for a thousand days, use the tree for a moment!"
Now that he had the Glow of Growth buff, which could increase wooden material yield, not using it would be such a waste.
Time to chop!
This was also a good opportunity to re-plan the area that had been poorly arranged before.
"Clunk, clunk, clunk."
An osmanthus tree gradually fell, scattering four wooden pieces on the ground.
[Osmanthus Wood] × 4.
The yield was ridiculously high.
Glow of Growth is OP!
After cutting for a while longer, Han Qiwu obtained a portion of [Frozen Osmanthus Tree Sap].
[Frozen Osmanthus Tree Sap]
[Usage: Material/Food Ingredient]
[Note: A healthy drink with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers]
This portion of osmanthus tree sap may not have any special effects, but its fragrance was exceptionally strong. Tasting it lightly, the flavor was cool and refreshing, elegant and pleasant, just enough to offset the greasiness from the stewed meat he had earlier. The more he drank, the more enjoyable it was.
"When summer comes, using this stuff to make iced jelly will definitely be delicious." Han Qiwu smiled faintly, feeling even more motivated.
Chop it!!!
Two hours later, drenched in sweat, Han Qiwu sprawled on a reclining chair, taking a break. Glancing at the inventory, he saw [Osmanthus Wood] × 211, satisfied as he tilted his head to admire the moon. "I didn’t expect to chop so much osmanthus wood. Next time, when designing animal buildings, it’ll be interesting to try using more osmanthus wood to enhance the special effects of animal products."
Milk, eggs, or yogurt with the fragrance of osmanthus?
Sounds intriguing.
After resting enough, Han Qiwu stood up, strapped on sandbags, and resumed practicing "The Times Call."
"Swish, swish, swish."
His movements were precise, and his speed was astonishing.
Just as he finished performing eight sequences,
A spring travel scroll unfurled slowly before him, accompanied by the background music of "Where Is Spring."
[Spring Equinox Event Ended, Congratulations! You Earned 282 Points]
[Redeemable Items Are As Follows]
[Choose One Primary Animal Building × 1], Redemption Price: 200 Points.
[Mulberry Wine Recipe], Redemption Price: 100 Points.
[Ancient Wild Goose Hatchling × 1], Redemption Price: 100 Points.
[Snake Tendon Throwing Net (Silver Star Quality)], Redemption Price: 100 Points.
[Fire Essence Crystal (Silver Star Quality)], Redemption Price: 50 Points.
[Fireproof Coating × 1], Redemption Price: 20 Points.
[Waterproof Coating × 1], Redemption Price: 20 Points.
[Vegetable Seeds × 10 (Already Consumed Today)], Redemption Price: 5 Points.
[100 Gold], Redemption Price: 1 Point.
Han Qiwu slowly stopped, glanced at the system time, "It’s already 11 p.m.? How did time pass so quickly?"
Coming back to his senses, he looked at the content on the scroll. Honestly, if he had enough points, he would want them all.
Mulberry Wine Recipe, Ancient Wild Goose Hatchling, Snake Tendon Throwing Net.
All were great items.
"Choose One Primary Animal Building? This costs 200 points? Why is it so expensive," Han Qiwu frowned and thought for a bit.
Based on the redemption rate of 1 point for 100 gold at the bottom, 200 points would be equivalent to 20,000 gold.
This wasn’t the actual price of a primary animal building.
Clearly, some factor was causing it to be overpriced.
Exercise indeed seemed to boost thinking clarity.
Suddenly, Han Qiwu’s eyes lit up. "Choose? Wait, does that mean I can select animal buildings that can’t be bought from the breeding store?"
Following this idea, he clicked on [Choose One Primary Animal Building] and entered "Panda Nest" into the redemption section.
[Farm Scale Insufficient, Unable to Redeem]
"It really allows redemption of a panda nest! Then let’s try silkworm house instead?"
Delighted, Han Qiwu re-entered the word "silkworm house."
[Redemption Successful. You Obtained Primary Silkworm House × 1, Remaining Points: 82]
It actually let him redeem a silkworm house!
What a pleasant surprise!
He hadn’t thought Spring Equinox Event points could be used to get animal buildings that couldn’t be purchased!
If he had given in to the temptation of sitting idle in the chair today and hadn’t gone to deliver the twisted wood bed to Grandma Zuo Yu to obtain silkworm eggs earlier, he probably wouldn’t have thought of redeeming a primary silkworm house even when using the points.
A rare opportunity indeed!
Han Qiwu calmed himself, looking at the remaining 82 points, considering what to buy.
Forget it, no need to think too much.
With the items priced at 100 points now unaffordable, he directly redeemed [Fire Essence Crystal (Silver Star Quality)] for 50 points and [Fireproof Coating × 1] for 20 points.
As for the remaining 12 points, Han Qiwu thought about it. Mint seemed like something he might need often later.
Digging it out from the ground all the time would be inconvenient.
As a farmer, it’s much better to grow it himself.
He used 10 points to redeem 20 mint seeds and spent the last 2 points to get 200 gold.
The perfect redemption!
After spending all the points, the scroll dissolved into countless light particles, carried by the spring breeze, forming the redeemed items one by one in front of Han Qiwu, floating in the air, waiting to be collected.
For Han Qiwu, the greatest joy of shopping didn’t lie in spending money.
But in studying and playing with the items he bought.
Let’s check out the silkworm house first.
[Primary Silkworm House]
[Capacity for Silkworm Eggs: 400]
[Facilities Included: Thermo-Hygrometer]
[Note: The silkworm house will trigger a capacity upgrade once the silk output meets the required threshold]
[Please Select a 10×8 Plot for Building the Silkworm House]
The primary silkworm house could accommodate 400 silkworm eggs. While this seemed like a lot, for silkworms, this number was quite small.
Under normal circumstances, a paired silkworm moth would produce five to six hundred eggs, and just one primary silkworm house wouldn’t be sufficient to contain them.
Oh well, it’s just a primary-level building, so let’s study it first.
At least it was enough to house the silkworm eggs he currently had at home.
After selecting the plot, the floating primary silkworm house flew over, expanding immediately on the selected plot.
A few seconds later, the primary silkworm house was complete.
"No need to wait a day or more; nice, very efficient service." Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction, taking out the mulberry silkworm eggs from storage and holding them in his palm, then quickly walking inside.
The primary silkworm house was rectangular overall. Upon entering, he discovered seven or eight small compartments specifically designated for different life stages of the silkworms. Each compartment contained shelves and silkworm trays, and the roof featured a thermo-hygrometer. The design was intricate, and the ventilation was excellent.
"There’s no tool for cutting mulberry leaves. Looks like I’ll have to bring a cutting knife to Jilei Mountain." Han Qiwu smiled faintly, extracting 360 mulberry silkworm eggs and placing them inside.
[Mulberry Silkworm Eggs × 360 Successfully Placed]
Upon entering the silkworm house, the mulberry silkworm eggs automatically floated to the egg incubation compartment and quietly settled.
"I’m not sure if housing transitions are automated or need to be done manually; I’ll need to monitor that closely over the next few days." Han Qiwu thought to himself. Initially, he intended to let Little Electric oversee it, but after thinking it over, he realized birds eat insects.
What if Little Electric treated the newly hatched silkworms as bite-sized snacks and devoured them?
Better to handle this himself.
