[Congratulations to the host for recycling 20,000 kilograms of premium sweet potatoes, earning 20,000 exchange points!]
[Congratulations to the host for recycling 20,000 kilograms of premium rice, earning 20,000 exchange points!]
[Congratulations to the host for recycling 20,000 kilograms of premium wheat, earning 20,000 exchange points!]
[Congratulations to the host for recycling 20,000 kilograms of premium potatoes, earning 20,000 exchange points!]
Chen Wei watched his exchange points skyrocket to 80,000, his excitement undeniable as sleep completely evaded him.
He promptly located the water purifier.
With funds to spare, he indulged in exchanging for two water purifiers—affluence allowed for such caprices.
[Congratulations to the host: Two Beginner Water Purifiers successfully exchanged, with 20,000 exchange points deducted.]
Accessing his personal storage, Chen Wei located the water purifiers and perused their descriptions.
[Water Purifier: Introduce water into the device for absolute purification, removing toxins and impurities to ensure top-notch water quality, achieving an A+ standard.]
Chen Wei's eyes shone brighter upon reading the details.
He then proceeded to exchange for seeds and acceleration potions, entering a cycle of planting, harvesting, and repeating the process to amass an ever-growing wealth of exchange points.
With 60,000 exchange points remaining, Chen Wei was filled with a renewed sense of determination.
He resolved to sow seeds across every inch of his farm.
A single bag of seeds could cover approximately 0.2 to 0.3 acres, meaning 20 acres would need between 70 to 100 bags.
Without hesitation, Chen Wei exchanged for 80 bags of high-yield corn seeds.
[Congratulations to the host: 80 bags of premium corn seeds successfully exchanged, deducting 4,000 exchange points!]
He then set the Farm's Assistant Robots to work on sowing the seeds, and didn't stop there—he went on to exchange for more acceleration potions.
This time, however, Chen Wei opted for the superior variety of acceleration potions, not the standard ones.
[Congratulations to the host: 80 bottles of high-grade crop acceleration potions successfully exchanged, deducting 40,000 exchange points!]
Witnessing the potions alone deplete 40,000 exchange points made Chen Wei's lips involuntarily twitch. With the Advanced Acceleration Potion, his crops' growth rate would increase fivefold.
The cost was steep, a tenfold increase, requiring 500 exchange points for a single bottle.
Yet, Chen Wei harbored no regrets, comforted by the 16,000 exchange points he still had in reserve.
Those points could be put to good use, exchanged for other necessities.
Surveying his expansive farm, guarded by a mere trio of robots, Chen Wei deemed the security inadequate. Without hesitation, he exchanged for five additional basic guards.
[Congratulations, host: You have successfully exchanged for five basic guards, deducting 15,000 exchange points.]
Chen Wei then deployed the guard robots, assigning them to patrol the farm's perimeter.
With eight guards now in place, the farm's security seemed sufficient.
Glancing at his remaining exchange points, a mere thousand, Chen Wei sighed in resignation. His windfall of 100,000 exchange points was dwindling far too quickly.
He instructed the Farm's Assistant Robot to sow the fields and await the ripening of the crops for harvest.
Simultaneously, Chen Wei reached out to the system, "System, once this crop is harvested, could you autonomously handle the collection and continue the exchange for seeds and acceleration potions? Despite my tenfold constitution, I'm still human. My physical and mental stamina have limits; I can't always be this timely."
The system responded eagerly, "I'd be delighted to assist!"
Chen Wei's spirits lifted. He had only been testing the waters, not expecting the system to actually consent.
The system then stated, "For the system to perform this task once, 1,000 exchange points will be deducted. Would you like to proceed?"
At these words, Chen Wei's brow furrowed slightly. With exactly a thousand exchange points left, it seemed the system was reaching for them.
He had a strong suspicion that the system's timing was intentional.
Yet without proof, even if the system confessed, he would have to accept the situation.
"Well, it's just a thousand-point service fee. Go ahead and deduct it. At least I can take it easy for a bit," Chen Wei muttered, his lips curling in a begrudging pout.
Indeed, being this financially constrained left him no choice but to be frugal.
[Congratulations, host: You have received the system's assistance with planting and harvesting for a one-time deduction of 1,000 exchange points!]
Listening to the system's voice in his head, Chen Wei couldn't help but grumble with dissatisfaction, "Such a miserly system."
After his complaint, Chen Wei went back to his room to catch up on some more sleep.
The system remained silent.
The next morning, Chen Wei woke to find his exchange points had skyrocketed to 180,000.
Excited, he dashed out to the courtyard to check on the farm.
There, a vast expanse of golden wheat stretched before him, ripe and ready for harvest.
"Just as I thought, having the system work for me is like making money in my sleep," he remarked, a smile spreading across his face.
"System, you'll keep working for me, right? It's a thousand exchange points per task, correct? Go ahead and deduct them."
The system stayed quiet.
Receiving no response, Chen Wei felt a flicker of surprise and asked again, "System, are you there?"
The system finally replied:
[Yes!]
Hearing the affirmation, Chen Wei burst into laughter, "Haha, I knew you could do it! You're the best system ever. I really love this."
The system offered no comment.
"Now I can finally relax and enjoy a well-deserved break," Chen Wei thought, feeling content. He began to energetically practice Teacher Ma's Five Combo Strikes in the yard.
A system notification chimed in:
[This system contains a variety of body techniques, cultivation methods, and esoteric teachings. Host, you are encouraged to exchange for these to better strengthen yourself for the apocalypse.]
Chen Wei's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his smile grew even wider. "There's more good stuff? Let's have a look then."
[Shopping mall expansion completed!!]
[Newly expanded section: Apocalypse Survival Esoterica.]
"More expansions?" Chen Wei was thrilled by the system's capabilities.
"The system is incredibly powerful, capable of endless upgrades, and adapts according to the Host's needs," the system explained.
"Please keep pushing forward, Host. Upgrading the farm quickly will greatly accelerate your strength!" the system encouraged.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wei was both shocked and elated. "You mean the farm can level up, too?"
"Absolutely," the System confirmed. "The Unlimited Upgrade Farm can be leveled up indefinitely, all the way up to level 99999!"
"Holy shit!" Chen Wei couldn't help but swear in astonishment. That was just one level shy of a hundred thousand!
Is this even a farm anymore?
Intrigued, Chen Wei couldn't resist asking, "System, what happens if I upgrade to level 99999?"
The System responded with words that promised untold power:
[Dominate the universe!]
