Chapter 34: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 34: Space Upgrade
In the space, Mo Yan stood dumbfounded in place, looking at the land that had expanded nearly fifty times its original size. She could hardly believe her eyes!
She pinched her thigh hard, finally believing that she wasn't dreaming. The space had indeed upgraded, expanding to fifty mu in one go.
However, who could tell her why the space suddenly upgraded? Just the day before yesterday when she entered, there were only four red lines on the pearl!
Mo Yan, feeling a bit confused, pressed her temple. Upon recollecting what she had done these past two days, she realized there was nothing special, except for the chaotic scene last night when she saved Xiao Ruiyuan.
Right, Xiao Ruiyuan!
Mo Yan suddenly widened her eyes. Could it be that the space suddenly upgraded because of him? But how could that be possible? She remembered accumulating a hundred and nine red lines in her previous life before experiencing the first upgrade of the space, and even then, the upgrade only expanded the land from one mu to thirty mu, twenty mu less than this time.
In her previous life, the space underwent a total of four upgrades, with each upgrade becoming more difficult. The key to upgrading was the red lines. Although the length and thickness of each red line varied, she had never encountered a situation like this, where one person could match over a hundred red lines!
Mo Yan suddenly felt that she didn't understand the space at all. During this time, she had been supplying Lin Yong and the others with food, helping the elderly, weak, women, and children get through difficult times. However, after over a month had passed, there was no change in the red lines on the pearl, not even an increase of one, while this time, she only saved one Xiao Ruiyuan, and the space upgraded effortlessly, even adding so much land at once.
After thinking for a while, Mo Yan couldn't figure it out and decided not to bother thinking about it anymore. Anyway, the upgrade of the space was a good thing. With so much land, she could finally make a big move!
Looking at the mature potatoes and sweet potatoes, Mo Yan enthusiastically began digging. To say she was digging was an overstatement. The soil in the space was soft and fertile, so she only needed to gently pull the stem of the potatoes, and the buried potatoes would come out easily. The same applied to sweet potatoes. As for the stems, she let them rot in the ground, which served as excellent fertilizer.
It took her quite some time to harvest the potatoes and sweet potatoes from nearly one mu of land. After finishing, she carried a basket and started collecting eggs. With over forty hens laying eggs every day, the quantity was considerable. Due to the fast flow of time in the space, ten days had passed inside while only one day had passed outside. So, every time she entered, she could collect over four hundred eggs, keeping some for her family's consumption and selling the rest to the grocery store, while also leaving a few for Lin Yong.
After putting all the eggs in a bamboo basket and watching the hens frolic around, Mo Yan felt a bit troubled.
Previously, when the space was only one mu in size, collecting eggs was not difficult. But now that the space had expanded to fifty mu, wouldn't she have to run her legs off?
After thinking about it, she decided to buy some bamboo and fence off an area for the chickens, so she wouldn't have to step on chicken droppings every time she entered. She had had enough!
Smelling the sweat on her body, Mo Yan happily ran to the Ling Pool beside the Jade Platform, planning to wash herself clean before leaving.
"Mmm, it feels so comfortable!"
Soaking in the Ling Pool, Mo Yan sighed with comfort, closing her eyes and enjoying the spiritual energy flowing through her body in the water. Besides the expansion of the area and the faster flow of time, another thing she was satisfied with was the Ling Pool, which was only about ten square meters in size. Currently, the space was only at level two, and the water in the Ling Pool had only two functions: accelerating the growth of all things and strengthening the body.
Accelerating the growth of all things meant that it could make crops grow faster, although it couldn't instantly make them grow to maturity. But reducing the time by half was still acceptable.
As for strengthening the body, it wasn't for drinking, but for bathing. The water in the Ling Pool was rich in spiritual energy, which could penetrate the body through the pores, expelling impurities and toxins from the inside out, thereby strengthening the body.
As the space level increased, the Ling Pool would also upgrade accordingly. In her previous life, the Ling Pool had only upgraded three times, reaching the level of treating illnesses and saving lives. As for what level it could reach after further upgrades, Mo Yan didn't know.
After soaking for nearly half an hour, Mo Yan almost fell asleep. Sensing the heat surging in her body, she knew it had already taken effect, so she didn't soak any longer. After putting on her clothes, she left the space, planning to quietly sneak back to her room through the main hall. However, as she was passing by, a cold voice suddenly came from behind, startling her to the point where she almost lost half of her soul.
"When did you come out?"
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the sneaky woman, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He couldn't sleep just now, so he went to stand in the courtyard for a while. He didn't expect to see her returning to her room just as he was about to enter. However, he hadn't noticed her coming out.
Mo Yan's face turned pale at the words. She had been found out!
In the darkness, Xiao Ruiyuan couldn't see her expression, but seeing her not speak, he asked again impatiently, "When did you go out?"
Mo Yan turned stiffly and looked at the figure standing at the doorway, her mind blank, unable to utter a word. It wasn't until her wrist was pinched, and a warm sensation spread through her body that she snapped out of it, kicking out reflexively.
"Brat! Let go!"
Xiao Ruiyuan swiftly let go of her hand, a hint of irritation suddenly appearing on his ice-cold face. However, the smoothness of her wrist seemed to linger in his palm.
Mo Yan snorted and turned around to enter her room, slamming the door shut behind her.
Xiao Ruiyuan stood at the door for a moment, finally pushing aside the weird feeling in his heart and turning back to his own room...
