Chapter 267: Stealing Crops by Skill

Have you heard? Inside Penguin's 'My Space' thingy, you can actually grow vegetables! The spiritual plants you grow can even raise your cultivation level, and all it takes is planting and harvesting! A few players grinding away in Legend chatted as they killed monsters.

Is it really that magical?

Why not go try it out? It is free anyway! Just come right back after you finish planting.

Alright, alright, alright, let's go check it out!

...

Even under the system's exploitation, Owner Fang had previously earned quite a few spiritual crystals, but buying the shop in this Half-City had consumed most of them, leaving him nearly a pauper.

Fortunately, over these past few days, the place was packed to capacity almost every day, bringing in plenty of income, so Owner Fang's small private vault was gradually growing affluent again.

Having just finished his meal, Fang Qi picked his teeth and crossed his legs. Now that he had made some money, his inner self swelled with a touch of vanity: Should I find some time to go out and wander around...? Buy a few pieces of luxury goods...? The sky seems a bit late today... tomorrow I have to watch a show, the day after tomorrow too...

Damn it! Owner Fang felt a sudden wave of anxiety, Maybe I will look into it in a few days...

With that thought, Fang Qi opened the game again, clicked on the Penguin Messenger, and started adding strangers. For those users who had already unlocked 'My Space', Fang Qi casually sent them a friend request.

Someone is adding me? Xue Daolv had also been introduced by Su Tianji to play this 'My Space' thing. It was said to not waste time and allow one to sit back and enjoy the fruits of success, so he had already started grunting and sweating as he planted his vegetables.

Seeing a friend request, he was originally a little reluctant, but once he looked: Owner Fang?

Hey! This works!

He hurriedly clicked accept!

Old Fu had just finished planting a batch of vegetables and was teaming up with Nalan Hongwu to grind in Diablo when his Penguin suddenly chimed. He took a look—someone was adding him as a friend?

Owner Fang?

Originally, Fang Qi only had Nalan Hongwu on his friend list and not Old Fu. At this moment, Old Fu was somewhat surprised, wondering why he was adding him.

What is it? Nalan Hongwu noticed something unusual.

Nothing, that brat Fang Qi suddenly added me as a friend, Old Fu spoke up, Let's just click accept, I can't be bothered to care about him.

Inside 'My Space', Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu were browsing the shop together.

I plan to buy this! Dong Qingli pointed at a huge Pikachu plush toy, This yellow mouse is so cute! And it is not expensive either!

This house is just too crude, Zhang Wanyu said, I plan to save up money to decorate the house. It will look so grand when I invite friends over in the future!

True!

Hmm? Zhang Wanyu suddenly looked a bit puzzled.

What is wrong?

Owner Fang added me as a friend! Zhang Wanyu said, Isn't having your friendship enough, why did he suddenly add me?

Could he be trying to secretly get close to you, Wanyu! Dong Qingli asked rather innocently, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Nonsense!

Bai Lang had already started playing Legend when a message suddenly popped up on his Penguin Messenger.

Owner Fang? Why is he adding me?

I got one too! Zhou Hongying exclaimed from the side.

I got one as well? The middle-aged cultivator Zhan Yan was also somewhat surprised.

...

Originally, Fang Qi had only about ten or twenty friends, but now it had suddenly expanded to nearly a hundred, and as time passed, the number was still increasing.

Speak! Why did you add my disciples as friends? Su Tianji appeared extremely vigilant, sending a message right on the spot to interrogate him, wanting to confirm if this damnable brat had harbored some wicked intentions and wanted to abduct her two darling disciples!

And one would have been bad enough, but it was actually two at the same time! How could this be tolerated?!

At this moment, Su Tianji was still tuning her zither. 'Wind in the Pines' was composed by Ji Kang, and Su Tianji really liked this zither score. It was not expensive either, and after a long period of practice, she was finally able to play it in its entirety.

She had just called her two disciples over to listen when she heard them reveal that Owner Fang had added both of them as friends at the same time!

What exactly was he trying to do?

Next to Su Tianji's small cottage, there was a patch of open ground where she had set up a zither platform. Right now, an ancient zither was placed upon it. She plucked the strings with her delicate hands while waiting for Fang Qi's reply.

She held the posture of 'if you do not reply, I will just keep playing the zither'.

An ancient instrument like the guqin was not a piano or an electronic keyboard, after all, but Su Tianji was relatively familiar with it, and by now she could at least play the musical score proficiently.

Plucking it at this moment, the notes tinkled like dripping water, drifting into the forest along with the gentle breeze. When the music reached its finest moment, it truly evoked the feeling of 'wasps frequently brushing against the swing ropes, carrying the fragrant condensation of the slender hands of that time'.

The two disciples kept time, humming softly in low voices. In this pine and bamboo forest that resembled a scroll painting, life truly felt like that of immortals.

Of course, if they had not seen the following scene...

A figure carrying a shovel quietly slipped into the fenced yard, eyed the largest platinum radish inside, and dug it up...

Master... that is...!? Fenghua and Yuexin's minds went a bit blank.

Su Tianji, who was playing with total devotion, suddenly turned her head, only to see a figure in the yard who had already dug out the big white radish, picked it up, and bolted!

Stop right there!! Su Tianji let out a roar like a lioness on the spot!

She threw the zither aside, completely disregarding it, and gave chase at the fastest speed of her life!

But by the time she rushed into her yard, she found that the other party had long since vanished without a trace.

Fang Qi!! Su Tianji ground her silver teeth until they creaked, her eyes looking as if they were spewing fire.

How dare you steal my radish?!

The radish I worked so hard to grow for several hours was stolen just like that?!

Master, Master! Fenghua and Yuexin took a look, Our vegetables were stolen too!

What?! She instantly blew her top!

By this time, Owner Fang had already returned to his own space and begun counting his spoils of war.

Su Tianji... one big radish; Fenghua, one big radish; Yuexin, ten spiritual oranges... Zhang Wanyu, ten spiritual oranges...

By now, Owner Fang had stolen vegetables from dozens of people. Striking a balance, he instantly sold them for several thousand gold coins, making a fortune!

What should I buy? Having become rich overnight, Owner Fang browsed the shop, looking at the dazzling array of goods: Seeds—first, buy a few seeds of spiritual grain, then buy two sets of clothes... an Armani suit, this one is nice! Give me one set! A sapphire blue mage robe? That looks kind of interesting too, give me one set.

Then buy a dog... Fang Qi believed that a dog was a must-have, so he quickly flipped to the pet column.

There were two types of dogs in the space: one was a regular pet dog that could be raised from small to big, and the other was a trained dog capable of guarding the house, which was relatively expensive.

Fang Qi skimmed down with a glance: Golden Retriever... Husky... Pastoral Dog...?

Fang Qi first bought an Akita Inu. Right after he finished the purchase, he saw a figure rushing in furiously (friends could enter the yard at will, but if the door was locked, they could not enter the house freely).

Fang Qi! Su Tianji walked over with a darkened face, reached out her hand, and said, Give me back my radish!

Why should I give it back? Owner Fang declared with righteous severity, I stole the vegetables based on my own ability, why on earth should I return them!

Su Tianji instantly went wild!

She unleashed her ultimate techniques:

The Lion's Roar!

The Flailing Fists!

Invincible Fire Wheels!

Boss Fang is running away with his head in his hands...
