"If Linné tells me later that you guys didn't do well, your work time will be doubled and your food portions will be halved."
As expected, when the orcs heard this, they immediately became obedient, but their eyes still occasionally showed their dissatisfaction and disappointment.
"Of course, if you guys do well enough, your meals will be doubled and your working hours might be reduced, depending on Linné's needs."
The carrot and stick method was simple but always effective.
Indeed, upon hearing this, the orcs looked at Linné as if they were looking at their favorite
"Okay."
Li Tianxiang clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself. After looking around at everyone, his gaze turned fierce.
"Sal, Linné, and Siebel, stay behind. The others are dismissed!"
Upon hearing this, the three people whose names were called looked at one another. They noticed Li Tianxiang's expression and guessed that it might be something more serious.
Thus, their expressions also turned serious. Meanwhile, the orcs who heard that they were dismissed ran away in joy.
"Hu…"
When Li Tianxiang thought of the fireworks that had exploded in the sky, he still felt slightly shocked. He recounted what he had seen and heard with a heavy heart.
Sal's expression was dull, and it was obvious that his brain had stopped working. Meanwhile, Linné and Siebel were frowning and thinking about something.
Very quickly, Siebel was the first to ask a question.
"Since this so-called system says that you have to complete the mission so that you won't… er… turn into fireworks, what is the mission? Is it the yield from your land, the value of the crops, or something else?"
Li Tianxiang smiled bitterly and shrugged.
"I don't know. I was itching to find out just now, so I flipped through the system, but I didn't see any information about the mission."
Linné frowned and said seriously.
"If that is the case, didn't you say that you have completed the novice missions? What exactly did you accomplish?"
That was a clue. Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows as he thought to himself. It seemed that he had profited by bringing Linné and the others here.
He told Linné about how he had obtained first place in the plowing mission and obtained the rewards. He even told Linné about the Heavenly Market System.
After all, more heads were better than one. Furthermore, knowing the strength of both one's forces and the enemy was the sure way to victory. In order to prevent being turned into fireworks by this unfriendly system, they naturally needed to gather all the information on their side.
"If that's the case."
It was Siebel who spoke.
She did not expect that she had suddenly come to this strange farm after being bought by someone in the slave market because of Li Tianxiang's so-called system. She had originally thought that it was just a strange foreign land.
"Let's do it the way we did before. I can see that this so-called system seems to be encouraging people to be the first in everything, such as being first in terms of the speed of plowing the land or the speed of reclamation…"
When Linné heard Siebel talking about this, his eyes flashed as he spoke thoughtfully.
"Since we are competing in terms of speed, I suggest that we plant this so-called Peach of Immortality Seed right now. I feel like it's very likely to possess some kind of special property."
Hearing Siebel and Linné's words, Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows.
Indeed, from the moment he came to this so-called farm, every system announcement would reward the first person to complete something. Since that was the case…
Li Tianxiang brought the seed to the center of the Level-2 land. Linné and Siebel followed behind him.
"Do I just plant it like that?"
Li Tianxiang dug a small pit and held the seed in his hand. However, he was a little hesitant.
Even though he reckoned that he wouldn't be able to wait for the Peach of Immortality to bear fruit, there was only one seed after all. If he planted it incorrectly, it would be wasted.
Linné shrugged helplessly.
"You said that this is similar to the legendary fruit of immortality in your previous world. If you don't know how to plant it, we wouldn't know either."
Meanwhile, Siebel looked at Li Tianxiang in amusement.
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if you fail, I can make sure the seed doesn't go to waste."
Upon seeing Li Tianxiang's surprised look, Siebel was slightly pleased.
"I only need a low-leveled life force to restore the seed. Even though a small portion of its life force might be wasted, the seed itself won't suffer from too much damage."
Upon hearing this, Li Tianxiang no longer hesitated and threw the seed that looked like an ordinary peach core into the small pit.
[Congratulations Farm Owner User 666666 for completing the mission of sowing a legendary seed! You have received 1,000 random uncommon seeds, 100 random rare seeds, 10 special seeds, and 1 legendary seed!]
The system announcement once again caused a storm in the chat. Due to the execution incident, there was basically no one in the global chat anymore.
However, at this moment, Li Tianxiang's sudden completion of the mission was like a shot to the hearts of all the remaining players.
"Tch, how did they obtain a legendary seed?"
"I think he was the one who completed the land-plowing mission and obtained one million seeds. He probably obtained the seed at that time."
"He even obtained uncommon and rare seeds… I'm so envious!"
"Don't be envious. We have to quickly think of a way. Otherwise, we'll be the next ones to turn into fireworks!"
Hence, the chat became silent again. Everyone started thinking about how to escape the punishment for failing the mission.
However, Li Tianxiang didn't know any of this.
After he obtained the Heavenly Market System from the chat, the global chat system disappeared. More accurately, it was replaced. At the same time, the mission system was also replaced.
Therefore, Li Tianxiang didn't know that the missions that other farm owners had to complete were clearly indicated in the system. Only he had to figure out what the missions were.
Meanwhile, at Li Tianxiang's farm, Linné was extremely excited to see the new legendary seed in Li Tianxiang's hands.
This was the seed of the Tree of Life, the foundation of the elves' reproduction and development.
Meanwhile, Li Tianxiang had a better understanding of the game. After learning that the legendary seed in his hands was the seed of the Tree of Life, he first thought about whether he would be able to obtain fairies.
These so-called fairies were different from young elves. This was just like how the red panda was not a red-colored panda.
Fairies were actually the heroic spirits of deceased elves. After being summoned by the ancient Tree of Life, fairies would become an existence that was similar to worker ants.
In other words, they were excellent employees who could work overtime indefinitely.
At the same time, following the system announcement, the system gave Li Tianxiang 100 acres of uncultivated land, just like it had previously done.
Furthermore, it was a piece of land that was originally located in the fog. After the system issued the land, the fog gradually dispersed.
This time, Li Tianxiang brought the three of them to the land that had newly appeared to witness the fog retreating.
Unlike how fog would dissipate on a foggy day, this fog was like a receding tide. Following the system announcement, the milky-white and viscous fog surged backwards.
Then, Li Tianxiang discovered many tall figures in the fog. Furthermore, as the fog retreated, they let out terrifying screams.
Obviously, Sal was right. There were some creatures in the fog, and they were extremely unfriendly. However, for some reason, they could not leave the fog.
As Li Tianxiang watched the gradually receding fog, an anxious guess appeared in his mind. Then, he turned to look at the three of them with a grave expression.
