Chereads / Global Farming: I Activated The Heavenly Market / Chapter 7 - Equivalent Exchange

Chapter 7 - Equivalent Exchange

A burnt smell accompanied by crackling electricity slowly floated into the air. Then, Li Tianxiang rubbed his eyebrows and spoke coldly.

"I should have told you that your charm is useless against me. Don't repeat the same mistake. I don't want this to happen again."

However, the girl seemed to not have heard Li Tianxiang's warning and took a few steps closer to him.

Li Tianxiang could even smell a warm fragrance from her. Startled, he quickly held his breath and took a few steps back. However, he was not afraid of the succubus, but of being electrocuted again.

"Stand still! Stop! No entry allowed!"

Li Tianxiang kept shouting, and the girl finally stopped.

"Why did you do that? They are just slaves that you bought. It's natural for them to work. Why did you reward them?"

The girl's voice was as cold as the moonlight. Her tone was not like a question, but more like an interrogation.

Li Tianxiang lost his temper after being teased by her. He snorted and said, "That's because I love equivalent exchange. I should get as much as I pay."

The girl frowned slightly. For the first time, Li Tianxiang understood why she was frowning.

"In that case, since you spent money to buy me, treat me, and get the orcs to deliver food to me, what do you want from me?"

As she spoke, the young girl seemed to have understood something. Her fingers slowly brushed past her collarbone and touched the corner of her lips. Then, she smiled faintly.

Li Tianxiang simply felt his heart skip a beat. However, there was no electric shock from the system. After all, this was not her charm. It was an even stronger form of her charm.

Although Li Tianxiang was called a veteran by his roommates in the dormitory and was said to have reached an unknown level after watching countless films, he was still commonly known as a virgin. Thus, how could he tolerate such a scene?

He felt a chill in his nostrils and a pain in his glabella. Then, a thick stream of blood flowed out of his nostrils and reached the corner of his mouth, where a foolish smile appeared uncontrollably.

Li Tianxiang was startled awake by the bloody taste in his mouth. He suddenly realized how embarrassing he was at that moment. Even someone with skin as thick as a city wall could not help but blush.

He quickly wiped her nose with his arm, but his nose and lips were stained with blood, making him look even more pathetic.

When the young girl saw this, the corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. As expected…

Li Tianxiang coughed awkwardly and turned his head to the sky with difficulty. He stared at the hazy moon in the sky before gradually calming down.

"It's fine for me to buy you or treat your illness. The thing I want from you is actually the same as what I want from the orcs."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Li Tianxiang's words, the girl could not help but be stunned as the charming aura on her body greatly decreased.

Even so, Li Tianxiang didn't dare to look down again. He could only raise his head and say in a muffled voice, "I bought the orcs because they have enough strength to engage in labor and are suitable for farming. It's the same for you. I hope you can help me cultivate my land."

"Me? A succubus? Cultivating your land?"

The young girl couldn't hold it in anymore. She raised a finger and pointed at the tip of her nose, her voice filled with shock.

"What can I do?"

At this moment, Li Tianxiang finally dared to look at the girl and speak! However, he used his peripheral vision…

"If I remember correctly, succubi are experts at using magic. Furthermore, many of your spells are related to life, right?"

When Li Tianxiang first saw the succubus, he was excited not because she was good-looking. After all, there was a group of smelly orcs in the market city. Thus, even if she was as beautiful as a fairy, he would still feel disgusted.

Instead, he was interested in the succubus's outstanding magic talent and ability.

The girl nodded slightly, still not understanding how Li Tianxiang wanted her to cultivate the land.

"Farmers are also a type of life. You can use your life magic to fill men with vitality for a short period of time. Then, with some adjustments, you can definitely do the same for plants!"

The girl was stunned. She had been taught how to use magic to kill people since she was young. She had also been taught how to use life magic to strip the lives of humans and transform them into succubi. However, she had never thought of using life magic to hasten the growth of plants!

She was shocked by Li Tianxiang's ideas.

At the same time, Li Tianxiang finally turned around and looked into her eyes with a pure and serious gaze.

The succubi fed on the essence of men and lies. Thus, she naturally knew that Li Tianxiang was telling the truth. As a result, her heart could not help but skip a beat.

"Also, besides life magic, you can also use water magic to water plants, wood magic to cut weeds, fire magic to keep the plants warm, earth magic to plow the land, and metal magic to replenish light. Magic is a good assistant for farming."

The young girl felt her brain buzz. Succubi did not do anything productive. Thus, she had never thought of using these spells on agriculture. However, the man in front of her spoke logically. Thus, she could not help but wonder whether someone had used the spells wrongly.

"So can magic be used like this?"

"Of course." Li Tianxiang had a matter-of-fact expression on his face. "Magic is supposed to improve people's standard of living, not cause trouble!"

The girl was excited. She had actually thought that he was right. At that moment, she looked at the distant fields with an eager expression.

"Why haven't I tried it yet? Why don't we try it now? I'm best at water and life magic. What do you think we should do?"

Now, the girl was even more eager than Li Tianxiang.

Li Tianxiang couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"It's too late today. Besides, your injury hasn't healed yet. If you want to try it out, you can try it with the orcs tomorrow when they start working."

The girl couldn't help but feel disappointed. Meanwhile, Li Tianxiang couldn't help but laugh.

"If you rest more after being injured, this will help you recover. If you really want to test the relationship between magic and agriculture, I suggest that you wait until your injuries are fully healed."

The girl nodded unwillingly. She knew that Li Tianxiang was right. The level of magic power in her body was very low now, and her recovery speed was very slow. Thus, even if she tried her magic now, she would probably faint from the exhaustion of using her magic power.

Before leaving Li Tianxiang's small courtyard, the girl suddenly turned around and looked at him curiously. "Why are you so obsessed with farming?"

Li Tianxiang thought, "This is because I don't want to be exiled to outer space and become a meteor that has given up on thinking."

Of course, saying this was a little ridiculous. After thinking for a moment, Li Tianxiang suddenly felt hungry.

"I don't have many wishes or particularly ridiculous ideas. I just want everyone on my farm to be able to eat, sleep, and live well. On my original planet, there was a poet who wrote a poem that I liked very much."

"What is it?"

"If only I could get a mansion with a million rooms to house the needy scholars of this world and put smiles on their faces!"

After saying this out, Li Tianxiang looked at the orcs in the distance who were finally finishing their food. He suddenly felt that if this could happen, it would be very good.

The young girl smiled, and even the moon in the sky was slightly inferior to her. However, Li Tianxiang's eyes were currently focused on Sal's large bald head. Thus, he naturally missed this beautiful scene.

"I'll wait for that day to come."

The girl walked back to the door and looked back again.

"By the way, my name is Siebel."

Then, she walked into the house without looking back.
