There are still four hours left. If I don't decrease my speed, I should be able to make it in time!
Su Yu's eyes were staring intently at the guide, and he was sprinting toward the Great King Mountain at his fastest speed.
Fortunately, he was at the 1st Stage of Outer Art, so his physique was significantly stronger than normal people. Be it his speed or endurance, he was far superior to his previous life.
He was now in the continent called Five Deltas Continent, and it was split into the north, south, east, west, and central deltas. He was currently in East Delta County, and the Great King Mountain was a massive mountain in East Delta County's outskirts. It extended over a few hundred miles, and it erected tall into the clouds. It was the largest mountain in the vicinity of East Delta County.
This world's mountains weren't that easy to climb. There were demonic beasts that could appear frequently, as well as powerful demonic beasts that martial artists had to avoid. However, Su Yu obviously disregarded this problem and was risking his life to rush for the Great King Mountain's peak.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, the Novice Mission has been completed."
"The system shall officially name this mountain as the Great King Mountain!"
"The Mountain Great King System has been activated. Issuing the Novice Gift Reward!"
What the hell? It seems like this mountain wasn't called the Great King Mountain, and it's actually a name given by the system. This name is really old-fashioned…
At that moment, a screen appeared in Su Yu's mind, and it was similar to a map. The setting was a mountaintop, and the appearance was exactly the same as the Great King Mountain. At the top of the mountain, there were three words: Great King Mountain!
At the top left corner of the map… Mountain Great King: Su Yu
At the top right corner of the map, his wealth was displayed.
Wealth: 0 (Used to purchase items from the shop and to upgrade the territory)
Su Yu noticed that the entire mountaintop was displayed as black on the map. The black area was marked as 'Unoccupied'. There was a yellow dot close to the mountaintop. Su Yu had played games before, so he quickly guessed that the yellow dot represented the position he was standing at.
Shop: Open!
At the side of the map, the word 'Shop' suddenly appeared. After clicking on it, Su Yu's eyes lit up. The shop's items were split into four categories: Seeds, Miscellaneous, Land, and Youngling.
After clicking the Seed category, it displayed class-1 seeds: Rice, Apple, Tangerine, Cucumber… All the class-1 seeds were sold for 10 gold coins.
Su Yu also noticed that apart from the class-1 seeds, the class-2 and above seeds were all darkened. There was a small lock symbol at the bottom right corner of the icons, stating that it had yet to be unlocked.
"System Notice: Class-1 Seeds are all seeds that the host has made contact with and can be immediately unlocked. As for the other seeds or items that are still locked, the host will need to collect them personally. During the collection process, the system will be giving hidden rewards."
Hehe, hidden rewards?
The corner of Su Yu's eyes were twitching slightly. Among the seeds, he saw the Heaven Essence Sacred Fruit, the Ginseng Spirit Fruit, the Life Fruit, and many other priceless seeds. Some of them only existed in legends—asking him to collect them? Wasn't it a fraud?
After opening up the Miscellaneous category, Su Yu was in a state of confusion.
There were roughly around a few thousand items in the Miscellaneous category: Fertilizer, Rice Cooker, Hoe, Chopping Ax, Kitchen Knife, Fishing Rod, Spring Water, and so on…
All the things of this category were ordinary and truly miscellaneous items. However, when he saw the prices, he was stunned. Some of the domestic items were reasonable, like the cooking chef costing 10 gold coins or the rice cooker costing 200 gold coins. But a small bag of fertilizer cost 500 gold coins, while one small bottle of spring water actually required 1,000 gold coins. This was definitely a scam shop.
In addition, the spring water and fertilizers were further separated into classes. Presently, Su Yu was only able to purchase class-1 spring water and fertilizer.
The Land category was also separated into Residential, Arable, Fruit, and Grazing land; each unit of land was priced at 200,000 gold coins.
The Youngling category was similar to the Seed category, as only class-1 younglings were unlocked: Shepherd Dog, German Shepherd, Kittens, Wild Chickens, and so on…
Younglings above class-2 were all in a locked state, and as Su Yu continued reading, he took a deep cold breath. He actually saw Azure Dragon, Hell Seven-Headed Hound, Phoenix, and many other heaven-defying demonic beast younglings…
This is insane! How am I supposed to collect these younglings?
"The host doesn't have to worry. As long as the host is able to touch the tree or fruit related to the seeds, the seeds will be unlocked. As for demonic beasts, the host only needs to make eye contact with the demonic beast for ten seconds to unlock them."
Is there no need to worry about that!? Damn you! Am I even able to touch a sacred fruit? To make eye contact with a demonic beast for ten seconds? Go do it if you are that capable!
"Main Missions released…"
"Mission #1: The host is to become the Mountain Great King and make the Great King Mountain's name renown in the entire Five Deltas Continent. Turn it into a place that transcends those sacred lands!"
"Mission #2: The host is to collect seeds and younglings."
The so-called sacred lands were, as the name implied. They were places that were supreme and mighty. In the entire Five Deltas Continent, there were only three sacred lands.
To actually make the Great King Mountain transcend the sacred lands? This system truly has great ambitions.
Previously, when Su Yu had been working as a servant, he hadn't had a high salary. He had been the one that had resigned voluntarily, so he hadn't received any salary for this month. Currently, he was as poor as one could be. He could be considered as history's poorest Mountain Great King. He couldn't afford to buy anything from the shop either. It was fortunate that the system had a conscience and rewarded him with a head-start—the novice gift reward.
Click, open!
Ding!
"Opening the Novice Gift Reward!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x Arable Land (Cannot be sold)."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x Rice Seed (Mature Type)."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x Pet, Furry Dog."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x Novice Residence."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Seed Sowing."
"That is all for the Novice Gift Reward!"
Four cards suddenly appeared inside Su Yu's backpack. They were the Arable Land card, the Rice Seed (Mature Type) card, the Furry Dog card, and the Novice Residence card.
In his character attributes' skill tab, there was a new skill, Seed Sowing.
"Seed Sowing (Level 1): Production output +5%, Maturity +5%."
The rewards might be ordinary, but they were also practical.
But why do they look so strange? Am I trying to become the Mountain Great King? From the looks of things now, it feels like the system is trying to guide me into becoming a farmer.
Firstly, Su Yu took out the residence card, and a notification suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Residence Card: Ordinary wooden house, please choose a place for the construction.
He could now see a square frame that was only visible to him. The frame was about 60 square meters, and it would move according to his thoughts. There were places in the frame that were red, while some were green.
Su Yu had played building games and knew that it was due to the terrain. Red indicated that he couldn't build the residence in the place, while green indicated it was fine.
Construct!
Su Yu picked a green meadow to construct the house, and with his command, a wooden house was immediately erected. It only took a small space, but it gave off a simple yet comfortable feeling.
Su Yu let out a satisfied smile and used the arable land card in the nearby vicinity.
Rice seed (mature type) card… It is unknown what the mature type means…
When using the Seed Sowing skill, everything felt that it was instinctive as Su Yu scattered the seeds onto the arable land in a natural manner. Once the seeds landed, Su Yu's eyes suddenly widened as an unbelievable scene was unfolding in front of his eyes…
