Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 288 - 280 Hot Spring Mud Pit

After finishing his practice, Han Qiwu stuffed the Flash Ice Ore into the furnace, collected the mayonnaise from the mayonnaise machine, and casually popped in a Terror Bird egg.

After taking a bath, he lay on the bed and opened up Little Pig Silly Mess to read.

Five minutes later.

He shifted into another position and continued reading.

To be honest, this book is actually pretty good.

Although it’s a fairy tale, the plot is quite engaging.

Little Pig Silly Mess is about a little blue pig. From birth, its skin was blue, which made its parents dislike it and its owner kick it out of the pigsty.

Fortunately, the little animal friends in the forest were kind to it and accompanied it on its journey to uncover the mystery of its origins, leading to a series of small adventures.

After reading for over an hour straight, Han Qiwu finally put the book down and turned over to sleep soundly.

"Pia-jiji!"

"Roar!"

"Ee-ee!"

Early in the morning, the Little Prince was already playing snow volleyball with Little Shui.

"So much energy would be better spent chopping trees," Han Qiwu slowly opened his eyes, washing up while checking the log.

"The combat level upgraded too?" Han Qiwu nodded. It’s been a while now, and he figured it was about time for the upgrade. Judging by the progress, the mining skill upgrade shouldn’t be too far off either.

This time, however, upgrading combat skills didn’t unlock any new crafted items; instead, it improved his personal attributes, increasing his health value by 20 points.

That’s pretty good—it’s practical.

With a higher health cap, he could finally try some things he couldn’t eat before.

Taking out the mayonnaise he prepared last night, Han Qiwu casually made an egg pancake. He wrapped some grilled meat inside, sprinkled a few wild greens, brushed it with mayonnaise, then rolled it up and took a big bite.

So delicious.

After eating his fill, he walked out of the house and hollered to the Little Prince, "Rest up when you’re tired from playing."

Upon hearing his owner’s words, the Little Prince obediently put down the snow, muttering softly, "Snow, I’ll come back to play with you later. My owner told me to rest!"

"After resting, it’s time to chop some wood," Han Qiwu said with a chuckle.

Little Prince: "...."

So sad!

After teasing the Little Prince, Han Qiwu walked over to the beehive and looked up at the translucent sprites above it.

As soon as he glanced at it, his eyes lit up.

Three bottles of honey floated above the hive—two large, one small.

"So much?"

Han Qiwu quickly reached out to collect them.

[Chinese Milk Vetch Honey] ×1

[Rapeseed Flower Honey] ×1

[Rapeseed Flower Honey (Small portion)] ×1

The yield is really good.

So satisfying.

"The Chinese Milk Vetch Honey will go to Mr. Tang; the Rapeseed Flower Honey will be used for building a new hive; the small portion is for the Little Prince to eat." Han Qiwu quickly decided how to allocate the three bottles of honey.

After storing the two larger jars, Han Qiwu reached out to call over the sulking Little Prince and handed the small bottle of honey directly to him: "Eat up."

Upon seeing the honey, the Little Prince’s face instantly lit up.

Hehe.

He opened the bottle, found a spoon, and started eating the honey one spoonful at a time. By the end, his eyes were gleaming with joy.

So tasty!

After feeding the Little Prince, Han Qiwu was about to head to the cultivation cave to harvest mushrooms. After walking a few steps, he noticed that a large muddy puddle had appeared on the rock wall several dozen meters away from the cave.

"Is this the new terrain?" Han Qiwu quickly walked over.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that this wasn’t just a muddy puddle.

More accurately, this should be called a hot spring mud pool.

Warm spring water with a light sulfur smell bubbled up continuously from the underground near the rock wall.

The spring water flowed down natural stone channels into a large rock basin, slowly filling it up.

After the rock basin overflowed, the spring water gradually trickled into the muddy pool below and disappeared.

"This is amazing! I can enjoy a hot spring now!" Han Qiwu’s eyes brightened, and he gleefully changed into swimming trunks and cautiously approached the hot spring pool, tentatively touching the water.

Ah, the temperature is just right.

Worth soaking in for a bit!

Five minutes later, with his body submerged from the neck down, Han Qiwu let out a blissful sigh of satisfaction.

Soaking in a hot spring is the ultimate comfort!

His body felt warm all over.

At this moment, a notification appeared in his field of vision.

[Soaking in hot spring. Stamina recovery speed increased to ten points per minute. Maximum hot spring stamina recovery per day: 200 points]

"Hot springs can restore stamina?" Han Qiwu’s mood improved even more as he soaked, glancing at the muddy pool beside him.

The hot spring is useful, and the mud pool even more so.

In the mud pool, he could raise loaches, plant lotus roots and water bamboo.

And maybe the mud could even be used for beauty treatments?

A face mask made from it might feel pretty nice.

No rush, he could study it gradually.

After leaving the hot spring, Han Qiwu dried off while packing a few eggs into small bags and placing them near the spring’s source.

He’d have hot spring eggs to eat later.

After drying himself off, he headed into the cultivation cave to harvest mushrooms.

With the new variety added to the system, the output of oyster mushrooms and drumstick mushrooms had increased—each rocky protrusion now held several mushrooms.

After harvesting the mushrooms, Han Qiwu suddenly heard a faint vibration.

[Total cultivation count reached. Rock cluster count +5]

As the system notification appeared, the number of rocky protrusions in the cave increased from ten to fifteen.

Not only that, the existing ones widened noticeably, making them look more advanced.

So satisfying!

Next time he visited the mine, he could gather more mushroom spores.

After leaving the cave, Han Qiwu retrieved the hot spring eggs from beside the hot spring and returned to the house to eat them while watching TV.

[Weather Forecast]

[Shennong’s Recipe]

"I heard you’ve got a hot spring? Then you absolutely must try this!"

[You’ve unlocked the recipe for Hot Spring Eggs]

[Hot Spring Egg]

[Ingredients: Any egg ×1, Hot spring water ×1]

[Special Effect—Gentle: Calms the mind, enhances senses]

[Note: Don’t soak in the hot spring water used for making hot spring eggs, or you might end up with a pair of hot spring balls.]

Han Qiwu: "......"

Why does the note about hot spring eggs keep getting weirder the more I look at it?

Whatever, it doesn’t matter. Since it’s raining tomorrow, I should take the opportunity to fish for a while.

I’ll also check out the secret realm to see if the giant straight-shelled nautilus is still there.

Egg time!

Picking up a hot spring egg, Han Qiwu carefully peeled it open, discovering that the inside was still soft and creamy, with a jade-like smoothness and a golden hue—visually stunning.

No dipping sauce needed; Han Qiwu took a single bite, and his mouth filled with an incredible aroma—absolutely no hint of fishiness.

Let’s have another!
