Chapter 4

Just as the sky began to brighten, Wang Buping got up. Perhaps because there was no city noise or polluted air, Wang Buping felt very comfortable after a good night's sleep. He checked the time; it was only a little past 4.

Wang Buping did not go out but entered the space. Looking at the unchanged space, the vegetables were still unharvested, maintaining their mature state. He watered the watermelons and corn that had grown a bit, harvested the vegetables, and piled them in the space. He saw that he could harvest the watermelons and corn in a few days and would need to go to the city to sell them, buy some necessary items, and also buy a mobile phone and solar panel for his father.

After leaving the space, it was already past 6. He walked to the main room, where his mother was cooking in the kitchen and his father was feeding the three pigs at home.

Hearing the commotion, his mother poked her head out to see her son up and said, "Son, did you sleep well? Go wash your face by the well, and we'll eat soon."

"Mom, I know."

After Wang Buping finished washing up, his mother had already set the table, waiting for her son to eat.

The family had breakfast in the quiet morning, and then Wang Buping said he was going to visit his grandfather.

Breathing in the fresh mountain air and listening to the birds, Wang Buping arrived at his grandparents' house, where they had already finished eating.

Seeing her grandson, his grandmother hurriedly asked, "Buping, have you had breakfast?"

"Grandma, I've eaten. I came to talk to you and Grandpa about something."

Hearing her grandson's words, his grandmother said, "Go ahead, what is it?" Grandpa also became serious.

"It's like this. Before, when Mom and Dad asked you to move down, you refused. Now that you're older, you should move down and live with them. You know, I plan to farm at home. If you and Grandpa move down, I'll move up here and cultivate the land behind the yard, which is about 10 acres, and prepare to farm it."

After hearing their grandson's words, Grandpa and Grandma thought for a moment, looked at their grandson, and then nodded in agreement.

After talking with his grandparents, Wang Buping said to them, "I'll go down and bring the ox cart up to help you move your things."

Seeing their grandson leave, Grandpa and Grandma went inside to pack their things, which were just some clothes and bedding.

When Wang Buping got home, he saw many people in the yard, all relatives from Wang Family Village. Wang Buping greeted the uncles and aunts and then said to his father, "Dad, I've persuaded Grandpa and Grandma to move down. I'll go prepare my things and then drive the ox cart up to move the bed and their things down."

Hearing his son's words, his father knew that his son was planning to farm at home and didn't say anything more. The people who had come to visit, however, were surprised. They had come to ask Wang Youcai if he could help find a job for their children since his son had just graduated from university. Now, hearing that Wang Youcai's son was going to farm, they looked at Wang Buping strangely and quickly left.

Worried that his son might not handle the ox cart well, his father went with him, pulling his son's things up the mountain.

On the way, he asked his son what he planned to do and if he could help. Learning that his son planned to grow vegetables, he thought for a moment and didn't say anything more.

They arrived at his grandparents' house with the ox cart. His grandparents had already packed their things and cleaned the house, knowing their grandson would be living there.

After loading his grandparents' things onto the ox cart, he asked his father to drive them down while he stayed to tidy up the bed and check the land behind the house.

Watching the ox cart go down the mountain, Wang Buping walked into the yard, brought his things inside, and thought about everything that had happened since he got the space, feeling a deep sense of emotion.

He went into the house, put his things down, and instead of rushing to set up the bed, he walked to the back yard. Seeing the 10 acres of land, he planted some vegetables near the house, while the rest was overgrown with weeds. A small stream flowed nearby, and seeing it, Wang Buping was very happy, knowing he wouldn't have to worry about watering the plants.

Back in the house, he started to tidy up the bed.

After finishing, he saw it was still early for lunch, so he took a sickle and went to the back to cut the weeds. He cut about an acre of land before his father called him for lunch.

After lunch, his father drove the ox cart up the mountain with his son, planning to cut the weeds in the afternoon. After a busy afternoon, they had almost finished cutting the weeds and loaded them onto the ox cart to feed the pigs.

After dinner, Wang Buping returned to the mountain alone. Seeing the big yellow dog in the yard, he walked over, put his hand on the dog's head, and they suddenly disappeared. If anyone had seen this, they would have thought it was a supernatural event.

After entering the space, Wang Buping suddenly felt a headache and fainted. The space began to change.

First, the white mist that looked like a wall retreated, and the small pond slowly grew larger, with a strange plant growing beside it, shining brightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Buping slowly woke up, smelling a foul odor from his body. Feeling his head throb, he didn't have time to check the changes in the space and went out to the well to wash himself. After several rinses, the smell was gone, and he noticed his skin was whiter than before. He quickly checked the new things in his head.

It turned out that bringing the big yellow dog into the space had caused the space to evolve. As the owner of the space, he had also been strengthened, with all the toxins in his body expelled and his physical functions doubled.

Why didn't the space evolve when he brought the bees in?

Wang Buping thought about this. Perhaps the space needed a certain number of animals to evolve. The more he thought about it, the more he believed this was the case. However, he didn't know how many animals were needed for the next evolution. He decided to put more animals in the space to see how many were needed for the next evolution. It would be great if just two more animals could cause an evolution, but he knew that was unlikely.

Checking the information, Wang Buping hurriedly entered the space again to see the changes. The land area had increased tenfold, the small pond had not expanded but had a slightly increased water flow, and a small ditch had appeared where he could raise fish.

Wang Buping now knew the time relationship in the space. The time inside was the same as outside, but the plants and animals in the space were altered to grow faster. The growth time was shortened based on the plant or animal itself, and he didn't know the exact rules. The space also produced a magical item with each evolution, which was rarely mentioned. Each evolution also accelerated the growth of the plants and animals in the space, depending on their own factors.

The plants in the space had changed due to the evolution. The watermelons and corn, which were supposed to take a few more days to ripen, were now fully ripe. The most significant change was the ginseng. The six ginseng plants, which were supposed to take a long time to be effective, had suddenly grown as if they had been there for a hundred years, with many small ginseng plants growing around them, some of which were decades old.

A magical plant had also grown in the space, the one that was shining by the pond. It was very powerful, producing fruit that could grant animals a certain level of intelligence and treat their diseases. It also had the function of extending human life, but it grew very slowly. This evolution had produced 10 fruits, and it took 81 days to produce 10 fruits again. However, he thought it would be enough and decided to call it the "Wisdom Fruit" since it could grant animals intelligence.

Seeing the big yellow dog by the plant, Wang Buping walked over, saw the anxious dog, and reached into the plant's light circle, picking two fruits. He gave one to the dog, which swallowed it in one bite and then lay down, indicating that the dog was about to evolve.

He also ate one, feeling a sweet taste but no immediate reaction. It seemed to be more effective for animals, and it also helped with human injuries and health, but it was too wasteful to eat the whole fruit. He decided to extract the juice and dilute it.

He waited in the space until the big yellow dog completed its evolution. The dog's eyes were clearly different, its fur was shiny, and it seemed larger. He stroked the dog's fur, which felt longer, making it look like a lion. He called the dog, and they left the space together.

Looking at his phone, it was already 8 PM. He had spent over 3 hours in the space, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

In the morning, he washed up, took the big yellow dog, and walked down the mountain to have breakfast.

During breakfast, his grandfather seemed to notice the changes in the big yellow dog, thinking it had grown, but didn't say anything. However, the dog's behavior was much better; it lay outside the door during the meal and only got up when his mother came to feed it. Wang Buping saw the changes in the dog and realized it had gained intelligence.

After breakfast, Wang Buping and his father prepared to plant the vegetable seeds he had bought. They worked all day, planting about 2 acres of land. Seeing the difficulty of watering, Wang Buping thought it would be better to go to town and buy a small hydroelectric generator and an electric pump. This way, he could use electricity.

Thinking about it, he realized he didn't have enough money. He needed to think of a way to earn money quickly. The vegetables in the space were plentiful and could be sold, which should be enough.

Thinking about this, he told his father his plan. His father looked at him and said, "Can you handle the hydroelectric generator and pump?"

"Dad, I can. I'll go out tomorrow, buy the things, and have you call some uncles and aunts to help me bring them up the mountain the day after tomorrow. I can't bring them up alone."

Hearing his son's words, his father said, "Alright, you go to town tomorrow and buy the things, and I'll call some people to help you bring them up the mountain the day after tomorrow."

After talking with his father, Wang Buping returned to the mountain that night and prepared. He harvested all the vegetables, corn, and watermelons in the space, hoping to earn more money. He also went to the back field and watered the plants with the space water, which he found could promote plant growth.

He then went to bed, preparing to go to town the next day.
