After a grueling two hours, Chen Wei returned, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, hoe in hand. Despite the exhaustion, he had successfully sown three bags of high-quality seeds.
A system notification popped up:
[Use a crop acceleration potion to speed up crop growth! Would you like to apply it?]
Chen Wei, momentarily taken aback, quickly regained his composure and responded, "Use it!"
The notification confirmed:
[Ordinary acceleration potion applied: Crop growth rate will now double!]
"Double?" Chen Wei's eyes bulged with excitement. With the crops' growth cycle cut from 12 to just 6 hours, harvest time was now tantalizingly close.
Filled with eager anticipation, he made his way home, his mind already turning to the 'Unlimited Upgrade Farm' System. The interface displayed his personal attributes, inventory, a shopping mall, and a recycling feature.
He clicked on the personal attributes:
[Host: Chen Wei
Exchange Points: 0
Current Level: Second-Grade Civilization Lifeform
Current Physique: Normal Human]
Next was the system shopping mall, a treasure trove of items including a variety of seeds, fruit trees, livestock, potions, machines, and even some peculiar stones. In the top right corner, his personal exchange points were shown, currently at zero.
"It looks like I can use these exchange points to acquire items," Chen Wei mused.
The recycling interface suggested that harvested crops could be converted into exchange points.
Lastly, he checked his personal storage, which held just two items: an Immunity Antibody Potion and a Physique Strengthening Potion. Having previously used the Immunity Antibody Potion, Chen Wei knew it could render one immune to all types of apocalyptic toxins.
"System, can this potion be used on someone else?" he inquired tentatively.
[Yes! To administer it to another person, the host simply needs to use mental control.]
Overjoyed by the response, Chen Wei immediately retrieved the Immunity Antibody Potion and, with a focused thought, administered it to his sister MeiMei, who was at home.
As he pushed open the door and entered, he found the little girl perched on a stool, watching TV with quiet attentiveness.
Upon seeing Chen Wei enter, she quickly scampered over and wrapped her arms around his leg.
The little girl tilted her head up, her twin ponytails swinging behind her, and gazed at him with her bright, wide eyes. "Brother, MeiMei's hungry."
Before Chen Wei, MeiMei was enveloped in a misty aura of light that gradually seeped into her small frame.
Clearly, the immune antibody potion was taking effect.
With affection, Chen Wei stroked her head and asked with a warm smile, "Okay, what would MeiMei like to eat? Brother will cook for you."
"I want boiled potatoes!" MeiMei exclaimed.
A bashful grin spread across her cheeks as her tiny fingers fidgeted with each other.
Chuckling, Chen Wei set aside his hoe, unconcerned about the sweat staining his clothes, and scooped MeiMei into his arms. He playfully nudged her nose and declared, "Off we go, I'll make those boiled potatoes for you!"
The little girl, just four and a half years old, was named Chen Mei, affectionately called MeiMei. She was Chen Wei's beloved little sister and the only kin he had in this desolate, post-apocalyptic world.
Seated in Chen Wei's embrace, Chen Mei's face lit up with excitement. She pumped her tiny fists in the air, chanting, "Boiled potatoes, here we come!"
Their dinner was modest, bordering on meager—just a few boiled potatoes for the main course, complemented by a simple green vegetable soup.
After their meal, Chen Wei gently lulled his sister Chen Mei to sleep.
Later, he stepped into the yard and retrieved the last of the medicine from his backpack: a Physique Strengthening Potion.
As Chen Wei examined the potion, details of its properties came into focus.
Physique Strengthening Potion: When used, it enhances the body's physical attributes tenfold without any adverse effects. The enhancement includes overall bodily constitution, mental strength, innate intelligence, power, and sensory perception.
"Use it!"
With resolve in his voice, Chen Wei administered the Physique Strengthening Potion. To ensure their survival in this harsh new world, formidable martial prowess was essential.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully utilizing the Physique Strengthening Potion!]
[Congratulations to the host: All bodily attributes have been enhanced tenfold!]
[Host: Chen Wei
Exchange Points: 0
Current Level: Second-Grade Civilization Lifeform
Current Constitution: Ten times the strength of an average human]
Chen Wei barely opened his eyes before sensing an explosive strength coursing through his body. He instinctively felt that he could now kill a bull with a single punch.
"Phew... Now, to just wait patiently for the crops to ripen."
Exhaling deeply, Chen Wei felt a wave of relief wash over him. He then turned and retreated to his room for some rest.
At four in the morning:
[Alert: Your super farm's premium cabbage is ripe. Please harvest it promptly!]
[Alert: Your super farm's premium potatoes are ripe. Please harvest them promptly.]
[Alert: Your super farm's premium rice is ripe. Please harvest it promptly.]
Roused by the system's alerts, Chen Wei shot up from his bed, rubbed the grogginess from his eyes, and, hoe in hand, made his way to the fields.
Above him, the sky was tinged with a pale blood-red glow, dominated by a looming blood moon.
With no time to lose in this post-apocalyptic world, Chen Wei couldn't be sure when mutated creatures might emerge to threaten his and his sister's safety. Despite his constitution being tenfold that of a regular human, he didn't want to take any chances and felt a twinge of unease.
But with his enhanced strength, Chen Wei made quick work of the harvest. In just twenty minutes, he had finished!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully harvesting 500 kilograms of premium cabbage!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully harvesting 500 kilograms of premium potatoes!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully harvesting 1,000 kilograms of premium rice!]
Sweat beaded on Chen Wei's forehead as he caught his breath. Despite the system's enhancements, harvesting such a vast amount of crops had left him quite fatigued.
Accessing the system's interface, Chen Wei opted to recycle the produce.
[The system has successfully recycled 500 kilograms of premium cabbage! Exchange Points Awarded: 500!]
[The system has reclaimed 400 kilograms of premium potatoes! Reward: 400 exchange points!]
[The system has reclaimed 900 kilograms of premium rice, rewarding 900 exchange points!]
[First exchange Bonus points: 1300]
Chen Wei glanced at his tally of exchange points: 3,100.
A flicker of happiness instantly lit up his face.
"At last, I can redeem a guard robot! My safety concerns are finally addressed!"
Without a moment's delay, Chen Wei proceeded to make the exchange. "I'd like to redeem a Beginner Guard Robot, please!"
[Congratulations, Host, on the successful redemption of a Beginner Guard Robot, with 3,000 exchange points deducted.]
