Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 7 Harvest and the Noble Phantasm Against Wheat

In the ecological farm, it was still a day without wind or fire.

Golden ears of wheat and grains were piled neatly in front of Jiang Ke.

They are plump and there is no dry or insect-eaten mark on them.

The golden color even feels like melted gold under the sunlight that comes from nowhere.

Very eye-catching.

Just looking at this scene, Jiang Ke felt quite happy.

After all, there is nothing more joyful than the joy of a good harvest. What's more, she picked it with her own hands... well, and Gu Xinyun, who was entrusted to her because her mother went on an adventure.

Although this child worked very hard on tiptoes to get a relatively small ear, but as long as he is willing to work, he still needs encouragement.

"It's great! Sister will make you peach juice later."

Jiang Ke did not hesitate to encourage him and ruffled his hair.

This furry and soft feeling is really quite comfortable.

Seeing that this hand made a mess of his hairstyle, Gu Xinyun finally couldn't help but said·

"Sister, the president is not tall! Stop touching him!"

He had become familiar with Jiang Ke in the past two days, so he became bolder.

The little boy complained quite dissatisfiedly.

"Mom said that if a boy's head is touched, he will not grow taller! I have to protect my mother, but I can't let him grow taller..."

"They said don't touch it!"

He puffed up his cheeks angrily, looking dissatisfied.

Jiang Ke saw that the child seemed really angry, so he quickly retracted his hand and said with a smile:

"No, boys these days are all growing taller. Maybe you will surpass me when you are a teenager.

Don't worry, I will give you some nutritional supplements so that you won't lose height."

Jiang Ke comforted him well, then hurried to the side to get a plastic sheet and spread it on the ground.

After spreading it out, she took another handful of rice ears, coughed and said:

"Watch out, it's time to witness the miracle!"

With just a slight flick, the plump and crystal-clear rice grains suddenly fell like rain. They fell on the plastic sheet with a "splat".

Soon a full layer was laid.

Gu Xinyun's eyes widened when he saw this magical scene. He forgot about the discomfort of being touched on the head. He also picked up a small bunch and shook it, and the same scene happened again.

The white rice falls like fine jade, which makes people feel happy just looking at it.

Although Jiang Ke is a complete novice in agriculture, she also knows that it is not easy to get rice, and it is estimated that it needs to go through several processes.

But this...

“It’s really relaxing and magical.”

She bent down, picked up a small handful, put it in her hand and examined it carefully.

The rice grains are crystal clear, almost translucent, and there is even a layer of jade light on the surface.

You can tell at a glance that it should be delicious when steamed.

She has also eaten the rice in the restaurant, and it really tastes better than any rice she has ever eaten.

She even couldn't wait to taste what was so special about the rice produced in this farm.

It's a pity that it's not possible yet.

The work is not finished yet, Jiang Ke still needs to work hard.

She looked at the piles of rice and wheat in front of her, and then thought about grinding the wheat into flour, and she suddenly felt the "heavy" happiness brought by food.

But I have to do it.

Wasting food is absolutely prohibited at all times.

"Come on, take your time and make them all. When your mother comes back, you can eat rice and wheat porridge made by yourself."

Jiang Ke rolled up his sleeves, looked up at the sky, muttered "It's a little hot", and then started to fuck.

But she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but after working for a while, she suddenly felt that the temperature around her seemed to have dropped a bit.

Although it is still a little hot, there is also a breeze blowing. The coolness brought by the wind is definitely better than turning on the air conditioner fan or something.

Due to the simple operation and the fact that the things looked like a pile but were actually not much, the two of them worked for three or four hours and had already piled the completely shelled rice and wheat kernels into two piles.

Compared with the crystal clear rice, the color of wheat kernels is like the golden color of the rising sun. The grains are also plump and distinct, and taste sweet. Even if it is not ground, it is probably very good to eat as a snack after being fried.

choose.

Jiang Ke straightened up and wiped his sweat. Gu Xinyun on the side brought the boiled water that had been dried with a wink.

"Gudonggudong~"

Jiang Ke drank a whole cup in one breath before letting out a sigh of relief. She looked up at the sky in the farm, which was always daytime, and called up the system to check the time.

As a result, the time clearly read [17:45].

She actually worked for five hours!

You must know that this body is not the one in her previous life when she ran around and trained to be able to kill a man with evil intentions with one punch. Now this body is at best that of a healthy adult.

Even the evaluation given to her by the system was quite shady——

If you can't become a professional, you can still bully some low-level monsters and children. Be moved! You can already suppress one-tenth of the existence in this world!

When Jiang Ke saw this, her mentality exploded for a moment, but she was relieved later.

Anyway, she has got the best thing, no matter how weird the system is, it will not affect her.

As for why her physical condition suddenly improved, she could only blame it on herself eating half a peach tree.

As long as you think about the game, you will always find an excuse to convince yourself.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go to the restaurant and put away these rice and noodles."

Jiang Ke put the prepared rice and wheat kernels into a plastic bag, and then stretched out her hand skillfully. The door handle suddenly appeared between her fingers, and then the entire door appeared.

She opened the door, put the bag on the dining room table and came back.

"Let's go to the restaurant."

"Um."

Gu Xinyun consciously followed Jiang Ke, and the two of them walked slowly towards the entrance and exit of the farm that just appeared today.

Without Jiang Ke's authorization, residents would not be able to find facilities like the farm anywhere.

But after Jiang Ke granted Xiaoyun permission, the apartment's original two-story staircase magically added one more floor. Going upstairs is directly the gate of the farm.

It's just that Jiang Ke doesn't know yet whether this staircase can only be seen by those she has authorized.

If this is the case, if there are more people in the future, wouldn't there be rumors of hauntings?

"..."

Jiang Ke thought of the word haunted, and there was a slightly dim light around him, and suddenly his hair stood on end.

She quickened her pace and decided that after dealing with the rice and wheat kernels, she must go back and check the renovation authority. See if she could replace the damn mahogany corridor and the unclear lights!

Gu Xinyun, who was following her, looked at Jiang Ke suspiciously, who suddenly quickened his pace and even panicked. He was very surprised.

What happened to this landlady all of a sudden?

He tilted his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't guess what the adult was thinking, so he sighed like his mother and hurriedly followed.

…

Jiang Ke, the restaurant’s back chef, is here for the second time.

The decoration style here is quite industrial, with almost no superfluous decorations, but there are a lot of kitchenware and utensils.

There are all the things Jiang Ke mentioned, those whose names I don’t know, and those that I can’t even understand.

The only thing that made her want to complain was...

Among this pile of sci-fi-style artifacts, there is a stone mill that stands out. Its rough appearance is incompatible with other things.

And the key point is, she wasn't there last time, so why did she suddenly appear this time?

She walked around the stone mill and squinted her eyes. The more she looked at it, the more it seemed like she had seen it before. But when it came to her mouth, she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Finally, she gave up.

After her rebirth, she has become quite Buddhist. After all, rebirth can happen, so it should be normal for her to forget some things.

She sighed and tried to push the pole of the stone mill with a grimace. It turned out that it was quite easy, and the heavy stone mill started to rotate without much effort.

This result made her happy and a little disappointed at the same time.

I'm happy that she can push it, but I'm disappointed... I'm afraid I can't exploit "child labor" anymore.

The height of this pole was completely out of reach of Gu Xinyun.

"Sister! Here you go!"

Gu Xinyun had already been very discerning and brought some wheat kernels in a small basin.

"Thank you."

Jiang Ke bent down and took it, then felt a little worried.

She remembered that wheat should be dried in the sun before being ground into flour. Can this pinch of still wet wheat kernels really be used for grinding into flour?

"...The system won't lie to me, right? Let's give it a try."

She doubtfully poured the wheat kernels onto the stone mill, and then tried to start turning the stone mill.

The stone mill only grinds lightly, and the poor wheat kernel is ground directly. After only two turns, it is completely crushed into powder.

And, it's very dry.

It doesn't look like wheat flour anymore, but like golden cornmeal.

It's just much more delicate than the slightly rough cornmeal.

As for the water inside, Jiang Ke found that it had formed a floating golden water ball, suspended above the stone mill.

This thing even has properties -——

【Wheat Essence·Small】

[The wheat essence produced by the stone mill of the Mai Noble Phantasm can greatly increase satiety and has an additional physical recovery effect]

Looking at this attribute, Jiang Ke was not very surprised. What made her speechless was this so-called "Tai Mai Noble Phantasm".

The system of this global game has always liked to be funny, and the props it issues are also all kinds of weird. Even as the game progresses, many items from the Blue Star mythology will appear...

In his previous life, Jiang Ke once heard that the game was gradually adapting to and integrating into the whole world.

But in an environment like the end of the world, you can only do some specious things without getting any actual results. Who will provide you with resources?

So the poor bricklayer had to be reduced to moving bricks in the end - but even if he was moving bricks, the professional who didn't put down his dignity would come as fast as he could.

This shows how realistic people are in the last days.

"let me see!"

She patted the stone mill, but she couldn't see the attribute panel of the stone mill. This magical item called the Noble Phantasm of Mai, it really didn't give any face!

Gu Xinyun watched quietly from the side, feeling tired at such a young age.

This sister...she was sneaky just now, and now she's making a fuss as if she's never seen a stone mill before.

Is this a reliable landlord?

He really had a moment of deep doubt.
