Chapter 5: The Heaven-Defying Cheating Device

Zhao Hai took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and picked up the insect-shaped cane again. The prompt sound rang out once more: "Pest Dispenser, Level 1, can release pests to eat crops, usage limit: 50 times per day, can be used outside the space."

"Weed Dispenser, Level 1, can release weeds to compete with crops for nutrients, usage limit: 50 times per day, can be used outside the space."

Zhao Hai chuckled and put down the two canes. These things were really good; they were perfect for tricking people.

There was nothing left in the room, so Zhao Hai walked out of the thatched cottage and headed towards the warehouse. He knew there must be other things in the warehouse, at the very least, he hadn't found the grass seed that the system had rewarded him.

Soon, Zhao Hai arrived outside the warehouse. The warehouse looked very ordinary, just a small thatched cottage with a small wooden door, nothing special.

Zhao Hai touched the wooden door, and the prompt sound rang out: "Warehouse, Level 1, can store items, no limit on type or quantity, items remain consistent when stored and retrieved, can be used outside the space. Current items: six bags of grass seed."

Zhao Hai couldn't help but think of the grass seed. As soon as he thought of it, six small cloth bags appeared in front of him, with "grass seed" written on them.

Zhao Hai was taken aback, then overjoyed. He had thought the warehouse would be difficult to use, but it turned out he just needed to think about it. This was really great.

Zhao Hai pushed the warehouse door but found it wouldn't budge. The warehouse seemed to be just for show, with no practical use.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly, turned around, and returned to the thatched cottage, sitting on the grass bed and quietly organizing his gains. Now that he had this space, he had a plot of land to cultivate, water to drink, and the ability to greatly accelerate crop growth. With a tenfold increase in growth rate and the water, it would be another tenfold. With this, he wouldn't have to worry about going hungry in the future.

The basket, the shovel, the bucket, the pesticide, the pest dispenser, and the weed dispenser were all good things that could be used outside the space. The most important thing was the warehouse. With the warehouse, he had a huge storage space, which made him the happiest.

From Adam's memories, Zhao Hai knew that storage tools were common in this world. A spatial mage could create a storage tool, but there weren't many spatial mages. Therefore, while there were many storage tools on the continent, they were mostly in the hands of the nobility, and ordinary people rarely had them.

Their storage tools couldn't compare to the warehouse. Those storage tools were very small, the largest being only a few hundred cubic meters, which was already considered a divine artifact. A warehouse as large as his didn't exist.

Most importantly, the storage tools on the Ark Continent couldn't store living things, but the space warehouse could. It could store any type of item.

Besides these fixed items, he also had six bags of grass seed and 500 gold coins. Although the gold coins couldn't be taken out now, they could be used to buy things in the space's store, which was enough.

After reading the space's introduction, Zhao Hai knew that the basic settings were similar to the games he used to play. In the future, he could upgrade and open a farm, and do more things.

Most importantly, he now had ten acres of land and a never-ending spring. With these, he could try to improve the black soil in his territory. But the first thing to do was to plant the ten acres of land.

Thinking about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was a shut-in, born in the city, and had never planted anything. He couldn't even distinguish between different grains. Now, suddenly, he had to plant, and he really didn't know how to do it.

However, Zhao Hai still sent the grass seed back to the warehouse. He knew that the grass seed wasn't useful to him now, but it would be useful if he opened a farm in the future. What he needed now were seeds that could be eaten or sold for money.

He opened the store interface, which showed pictures of various crops, with their levels and prices listed below, similar to a game interface.

Zhao Hai glanced at the interface and found it was indeed like a game. The settings were almost the same. Now that he was only Level 1, he could only plant grass, radishes, carrots, and Chinese cabbage. He couldn't plant anything else.

Zhao Hai tried to select a Level 2 crop seed, and the interface immediately showed "Insufficient level." Zhao Hai understood that this place was indeed like a game.

Only these four crops could be planted. Zhao Hai chose radish seeds without hesitation. Each bag of radish seeds cost 150 gold coins and could plant ten acres of land, producing about 80,000 pounds of radishes. Selling them to the system store would yield 500 gold coins.

Based on the purchasing power in this world, 500 gold coins were roughly equivalent to 50,000 yuan on Earth, meaning one gold coin was equivalent to 100 yuan, one silver coin to 10 yuan, and one copper coin to 1 yuan.

By this calculation, planting radishes was quite profitable, though not as much as planting Chinese cabbage or carrots. However, Zhao Hai chose radishes not because of the money but because of the experience.

In the farm games he used to play, Zhao Hai had carefully calculated that among all the crops, radishes provided the most experience from plowing, planting, and harvesting. Now, his main goal was to level up, so he could plant more land. Overall, the gold coins earned from planting radishes weren't much less, and currently, planting radishes was the best choice.

Zhao Hai was a shut-in, and shut-ins disliked going out. When he had to go out, he would plan everything in advance to save time or do things that needed to be done in the coming days in advance, so he wouldn't have to go out for a while.

Over time, this developed a calculating personality. He would carefully plan everything and find the best solution before acting.

This time was no different. After calculating for a long time, he chose to plant radishes because they provided the most experience, which was more important than the lost gold coins.

Zhao Hai immediately bought a bag of radish seeds. The seeds didn't appear in front of him but were stored in the warehouse. However, with a thought, a small cloth bag immediately appeared in front of him. The bag wasn't large and looked flat, as if it contained nothing, but when Zhao Hai touched it, a prompt sound came: "Radish seeds, one bag, can be planted, can be taken out of the space, planting area: ten acres."

Zhao Hai sighed in relief. Fortunately, this bag of seeds could plant the ten acres of land. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the money to buy more seeds. However, the system was really calculating, giving only enough for six acres and requiring him to buy for ten acres. It was really good at calculating.

He closed the store interface and walked out of the thatched cottage with the seed bag, but he stared at the ten acres of land, unsure how to plant. He was a shut-in and had no idea how to plant, let alone how to plant radishes. This was really a problem.

Thinking about this, Zhao Hai wanted to put the seed bag back in the warehouse. Suddenly, he looked at the seed bag in his hand and had a bold idea.

Everything in this space seemed to revolve around him. Although he needed gold coins to buy seeds, the initial funds were given to him, as if he were playing a real game. If this was the case, could he plant without doing it himself?

Thinking this, Zhao Hai immediately thought about planting radishes. As soon as he had the thought, the seed bag flew out of his hand, and the shovel in the field started moving. The shovel dug small holes, and seeds flew out of the bag into the holes. The bucket then flew up and watered the holes, and the shovel covered them. This process continued, digging holes, planting seeds, watering, and covering, as if several people were working together to plant the land, without Zhao Hai having to do anything.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. This space was really great. He felt like a god in this space, and as soon as he had a thought, the things in the space would act according to his wishes. This was really great.

Seeing that it would take some time to plant the land, Zhao Hai was worried that Green might notice his absence and worry. With a thought, he returned to his room in Iron Mountain Castle. Looking out the window, he saw that the sky hadn't changed much, and it seemed no one had entered the room. This made Zhao Hai more confident that the time he spent in the space was short, and the time flow inside the space was different from outside.

Zhao Hai was so excited that he wanted to shout. With such a heaven-defying cheating device, he could at least be a carefree small landlord in this world. Whether he could help Adam take revenge was another matter, but the most important thing was to live a good life.

He had to admit, Zhao Hai wasn't a very ambitious person. He had a strong small-farmer mentality. As long as he lived well, that was enough. Reviving the Buda family, avenging the Buda family, and avenging Adam were all fleeting thoughts. Thinking about the power of the nobility, Zhao Hai felt a chill. The mighty Buda family could be destroyed so easily, and he, a mere Zhao Hai, was nothing. It would be a simple matter for them to destroy him.
