Chapter 541: Special Scenery: Multi-Functional Pasture
[Do you wish to purchase “1,000 sqm of Multi-Functional Pasture”? This item is priced at 10 coins.]
‘1,000 sqm only costs 10 coins?
‘That’s very cheap...
‘When I was calculating the price of the pasture before, I thought that it would cost over 100,000 coins to cover the entire island, which was very expensive and too much for me to accept. However, now that I’ve just bought 1,000 sqm, it’s actually very cheap.
‘Is it really only 10 coins?
‘That’s practically free.’
At that thought, Su Yang clicked [Confirm].
[Successfully purchased “Multi-Functional Pasture”.]
After buying the pasture, Su Yang started to confirm the location according to the notification.
Previously, Su Yang and Little Deeny had already communicated with each other. They planned to spread the pasture outside and surround the entire castle, with the remainders extending outwards. Therefore, he had arranged for the pasture to be placed outside the castle’s courtyard.
[Do you want to use the “Multi-Functional Pasture (1000 sqm)”?]
[Yes]
Following a slight tremor on the ground, Su Yang knew that the pasture was installed successfully...
He quickly led the monsters out of the castle to take a look at the pasture.
Pushing open the gate of the castle’s courtyard, what entered his eyes was a large patch of lush green pasture. The grass on the pasture was trimmed to a moderate length, giving off a freshness unique to the tender grass.
Su Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath. ‘This is the taste of nature.’
The little monsters behaved similar to him, all of them were intoxicated by the 1,000 sqm of grass. They had never seen such a large grassland before. In fact, most of them had never even seen a grassland before. Thus, after taking a deep breath, they happily rushed to the grassland, rolling around and playing.
Gru, who had been following behind from a distance, seemed to like the pasture very much. It stole a glance at Su Yang and realized that he did not notice it, hence it quickly ran past Su Yang and started playing in the pasture.
Su Yang felt a gust of wind blow past his body. At that moment, he felt his body slow down for a moment before returning to normal. Even his words had turned weird because of the “wind”. “You guys can have fun, but don’t hu ~ rt your ~ self.”
‘My words have been broken down into parts by the slow debuff...’
After Su Yang realized that none of the little monsters were paying any attention to his warnings, he shrugged his shoulders and walked onto the pasture.
When he stepped onto the pasture, a notification appeared before him.
[Entering the range of Multi-Functional Pastures, Pleasant Mood +0.2, Learning Efficiency +0.2, Work Efficiency +0.2, Party Effect +0.2, Affinity Growth Rate +0.2, Auto-Cleaning, Auto-Recovery, Pre-Emptive Warning, etc.]
‘Ok... I see this really is a [Multi-Functional Pasture], there are so many functions. However... Their effects don’t seem to be great, especially those with +0.2...
‘How am I supposed to judge whether it’s increased by 0.2?!
‘Isn’t this practically nothing!?
‘I remember that I have [Squid That Did Not Like To Dive], the special item has 6 +10 effects! Compared to this pasture, that one’s way better!’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about that, he suddenly realized that there was another [Note] below the notification.
He clicked on it curiously.
[Note: The pasture is defined as per 100 sqm in size. At 100 sqm, the effects will be +0.1. After that, its effects would double with every 10 times increase of the pasture’s area, the effects will continue to be doubled until all they are maxed out. As the area increases, more additional effects will be produced.]
‘The effects will double with every 10 times the pasture increases in size?? So this means the effects will be*2?
‘But, what’s the maximum value?’
Su Yang called out the help system and clicked on [Maximum Value]. Then, he realized that the [Maximum Value] for all the additional effects was 10... ‘Theoretically, this is equivalent to 10 times that of an ordinary person.
‘If that’s the case...’
Su Yang could not help but recall the effects of [Squid That Does Not Like To Dive]. ‘Fans Gathering +10, Chances Of Attaining Godhood +10, Stories +10, Character Customization +10, Pen Writing +10, Brainpower +10...
‘Oh my God! These are all top-notch effects!
‘This means that all my talents that were related to writing were 10 times that of an ordinary person! No wonder I could write 10 chapters a day!
‘Then... Wouldn’t Chu Xia be going off while she was writing previously?
‘Has this girl secretly become God?
‘Even if it was according to the system’s help, these effects aren’t fixed and would fluctuate based on the individual’s talent, environment and effects. However, it’s at least 5 times the effects of an ordinary person.
‘That’s already terrifying!
‘In fact, Chu Xia’s does have quite the talent, so her effects were definitely very strong. Could she have become a famous author long ago?
‘Speaking of which... Is it still possible for me to fight for a job with Chu Xia?
‘Coach, I would like to write novels...’
After his mind wandered for a while, Su Yang started to get serious. He did some mental calculations and realized that the basic effect of the pasture was +0.1. ‘0.1*2^7 =12.8. In other words, if I want to obtain a full value of +10, I would need to change it 7 times.
‘The pasture will only be able to change once every 10 times. So that’s 10^7... 10 million times!
‘100 sqm is the basic unit, so 1 million times would be... 1 billion sqm of grasslands?!
‘100 million sqm of grasslands is a frightening number.’ Su Yang felt that he had to calculate again. ‘100 million sqm to sqkm... Yeap, that would equal 1,000 sqkm.
‘This doesn’t seem to be too big... My *ss! That’s ? of the entire Shanghai!
‘This is terrifying!!
‘Am I supposed to plant grass all over the Quanbao Mountain area? No, Quanbao Mountain area isn’t even 300 sqkm, this means I’m going to need 3 Quanbao Mountains...
‘I have a long way to go!
‘F*ck this! After all, these are all additional effects. I’m actually quite satisfied with these +0.2 effects already.’
Therefore, after playing for a while, Su Yang started to ask Gru to try and plant some plants using its [Shepherd] ability.
Unexpectedly, it could really plant...
As soon as the green bubbles touched the grassland, the grassland that was about 100 sqm wide was surrounded by green light, accompanied with some “Splat” noises.
A moment later, as if there were fleas on the pasture, there were many black spots popping out. Su Yang pinched one of them and realized that it looked like grass seeds...
Shortly after, Gru waved its branch and all the grass seeds flew out from the pasture and landed in front of it.
Then, Gru waved its branches again and the grass seeds flew like they had a life of their own onto the bare yellow soil.
After that, Gru began to use its ability. As it chanted the second incantation, the grass seeds took root in the soil and began to grow vigorously.
In a moment, about 100 sqm of the barren ground was now covered with fresh grass.
When Su Yang summoned the 1,000 sqm of land, he thought that it was already ugly enough. After all, there was only a patch of grass at the entrance of the castle, and the rest of the place was barren.
However, no matter what, the 1,000 sqm of pasture was at least a rectangular structure, which looked passable, barely...
However, Gru suddenly added another small cube of it, making it seem like the ground had been eaten up by a dog...
Su Yang covered his face and refused to look at the disgusting ground. He was afraid that if he took a few more glances, he would end up spending 10,000 coins to cover the entire area around the castle with grass...
Hence, Su Yang turned around and called out the store’s interface in the virtual space. He looked at the line which showed the pasture.
[Multi-Functional Pasture: 1 coin per 100 sqm (Own: 1100 sqm).]
‘It’s really increased by 100 sqm!
‘Gru’s ability could really perfectly plant any plant. It could even plant something with a stronger effect when combined together. This is amazing!
‘From the looks of it, my virtual space could soon be completely covered with pastures! After I’m done with the purchase of the island, I could even let Gru plant pastures on the whole island!’
At the thought of that, Su Yang asked Gru from 10m away, “Gru, how much pastures can you make in a day?”
Gru gestured with his hands. “Gru Gru...”
‘Hmm... I can’t read or understand you.’
As if Gru could tell that Su Yang could not understand it, it thought for a while. Then, it extended its branches and slowly formed the number 10,000 in the air.
‘10,000 sqm per day?!’
Su Yang was stunned!
‘That’s a terrifying amount!
‘Gru’s ability really is God-like.
‘I’m going to be able to save a lot of coins this time.’
Hence, the first thing Su Yang decided to do was to let Gru continue planting the pastures.
Gru seemed to like that job very much. After giving Su Yang a cute salute, it started working.
It was like a planting machine, chanting non-stop, giving birth to green bubbles, hastening the growth of seeds, then planting those seeds and hastening their growth...
Looking at how busy Gru was, Su Yang suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment since Gru was his first little monster.
Initially, after he obtained the system, to test the function of the [Random Point], he added a bunch of useless points, such as a book that could enlarge itself, tables that could shrink, rabbits with wings and so on.
At the time, Su Yang’s world was all gray, so he gave up on himself and thought that since the points he added all turned out to be trash, he might as well add a point onto trash!
Therefore, in a fit of anger, he picked up a dead branch from the side of the road and added a point onto it.
Su Yang would never forget how surprised, happy and excited he was when the system first notified him that he had obtained [Additional Success: Birth of Life Evolution]!
That was the first time he had truly used the system to do something, it was also the first time he had proven that the system could really change his life.
From then on, he had an ugly little monster by his side, a monster stuck in a flower pot that others would mistake for a broken tree branch...
After that , it gained +2 ,+3 and +4 on that day. Gru accompanied Su Yang through the entire process from when there was absolutely nothing in the system.
Till date, Su Yang had more than 100 million yuan under his name, owned dozens of special items and dozens of little monsters. Moreover, he had land, an island and a foundation of some sort.
On top of that, Gru finally changed from being a dead branch to a real monster with special abilities, talents and ordinary human intelligence [Intermediate Intellect]...
It was no longer a dead useless branch by the roadside. It was no longer an ugly monster that was stuck in a flower pot that could only copy other people’s handwriting and it was no longer a monster that could only act cute despite already being cute in the first place.
Gru had truly become a monster that could help Su Yang and take care of everything on its own.
It had witnessed everything and was now grown up finally...
Su Yang, who had never been a sentimental person, could not help but tear up at the thought of the entire journey. Those were not tears of sadness, but prideful tears...
He was proud of how he had finally obtained everything he had, proud of how far Gru had grown...
Just as Su Yang was feeling proud of Gru, a loud “Boom” came from afar. Even the ground shook a few times.
Su Yang broke away from his emotions and looked towards the direction where the sound came from. A ray of green light shot up into the sky and there was a clear “Kacha Kacha” sound.
‘What’s that?
‘That seems to be coming from the place where Little Deeny added a point!’
Su Yang took a look at the time. ‘It’s 2:30am now. Judging by the time passed, Dagger Girl’s added point should be done right about now.
‘Is she really done?
‘Why was there such a huge commotion?!
‘I’ve got to hurry there and have a look!’
