Chapter 34

PS: Newbie seeking favorites and recommendations.

With the problem of lacking money resolved, Lin Xiao's attention shifted. The fragmentary star grass he had obtained by chance a few days ago was now ready for him to check in the space, given the ample time he had.

Turning to enter the space, everything remained the same, but the peach tree that had undergone natural transformation was now showing signs of blooming. To confirm, Lin Xiao stood under the peach tree and observed it for a long time.

He found that he hadn't been mistaken; the peach tree had many buds ready to bloom. However, there was still an issue: the peach tree needed bees to pollinate, otherwise the pollen wouldn't spread. It seemed he would have to get some bees when he had the time.

He should also plant more peach trees, as two seemed a bit too few. Too many bees would be a waste.

After observing the peach tree, Lin Xiao walked to the spot where the fragmentary star grass had been transplanted. This time, the purple-gold mastiff didn't notice him and was just staring at the fragmentary star grass, drooling and wanting to eat it. However, its master had ordered it to guard the grass, so it couldn't eat it, which was a great sorrow.

Seeing the silly look on the purple-gold mastiff, Lin Xiao laughed. Its already simple and honest expression, combined with the drooling, was quite cute and silly.

He patted the purple-gold mastiff to bring it back to its senses. The purple-gold mastiff, seeing its master, immediately became excited. It felt that spring had come, and it no longer had to stare at the tragedy of something it couldn't eat.

Rubbing the purple-gold mastiff's gradually fluffy fur, Lin Xiao realized that it was only four and a half months old, but compared to other mastiffs, it was already half a head taller and as big as a knee. It could still grow, and he wondered how big it would eventually become.

After being nurtured in the space, the purple-gold mastiff became even more spirited. Its baby fur had been completely replaced, and now it had long, black fur with a purple tinge, and golden eyes, making it look exceptionally fierce.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, feeling that bringing the purple-gold mastiff into the space was the right choice. After playing with it for a while, he remembered he had something important to do and let the purple-gold mastiff play on its own.

Returning to the spot where the fragmentary star grass was transplanted, Lin Xiao calmed down and began to observe the unremarkable little grass. After a few days in the space, the fragmentary star grass revealed its true beauty.

Each plant had three leaves, each leaf emitting a faint starlight. Upon closer inspection, it was like a miniature night sky, with tiny, deep, and sparkling stars appearing on the leaves, adorning the otherwise ordinary little grass.

The small flower in the center was only the size of a fingernail, and one had to look closely to notice it. If the broken flower were to be pieced together, it would become dazzling. However, it stubbornly remained scattered, and it was unknown what caused this.

He memorized the general appearance to ensure he could recognize it if he saw it in the wild. The real thing was different from the information; only by seeing it could one realize how pale and simple the written descriptions were.

The information only provided a rough introduction with a static image, which couldn't capture the beauty of the plant. Only by comparing it with the real thing could one see how misleading the system's information was.

At this moment, the purple-gold mastiff's honest head stretched over, looking at Lin Xiao eagerly, its long tongue licking his leg in a friendly manner.

Lin Xiao looked at the purple-gold mastiff, which made a human-like expression, indicating that it wanted to eat the fragmentary star grass, and then looked at Lin Xiao with a longing expression.

"Ha ha," Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh at the combination of expressions on the already honest face of the purple-gold mastiff, imagining a dog face making a bunch of funny expressions.

He decided not to tease it anymore. Thinking that there were still over twenty fragmentary star grass plants, he decided to give one to the purple-gold mastiff to see the effect. He wondered what would happen to the already mutated purple-gold mastiff after eating it, and he was looking forward to it.

He dug up a fragmentary star grass plant from the ground and cleaned it. According to the information, the method of consuming the fragmentary star grass was to swallow it directly, without any additional herbs.

He handed it to the purple-gold mastiff, which was circling around him, and threw it into its mouth. After a few bites, the purple-gold mastiff swallowed it, and Lin Xiao waited for the effect to take place.

After swallowing the fragmentary star grass, the purple-gold mastiff closed its eyes and lay down to sleep, probably digesting the medicinal power. Lin Xiao looked forward to the changes in the purple-gold mastiff when it woke up.

It seemed the purple-gold mastiff wouldn't wake up for a while, so Lin Xiao decided to take care of the bees first, so he wouldn't forget when the peach blossoms bloomed.

Exiting the space, he found a bee seller in H City online, called to order two frames of bees, and said he would pick them up later.

Since the internet, everything had become much more convenient. In the past, to get bees, he would have to catch a queen bee and find someone to make a box to keep them. Now, he could find sellers and their contact information with just a few clicks online.

The only downside was the price, but that was no problem for Lin Xiao, who was now a small tycoon. Money was just a trivial matter to him.

He felt something was still missing. "Oh, right, two peach trees are too few. I should order more," Lin Xiao thought.

He found the phone number of the fruit seedling seller he had ordered from before in his phone and called to order ten more peach trees.

He asked the bee seller and the fruit seedling company to deliver to the same suburban area where he had received the previous delivery, saying he would meet them there.

He didn't care about their curiosity, as the place he gave was uninhabited. However, many rich people were eccentric, and they weren't going to lose money.

Everything went smoothly, and Lin Xiao found a secluded spot to send the bees and peach trees into the space.

After finishing everything, he slowly took a bus back to his dog house, closed the door, and entered the space.

First, he planted the ten peach trees and placed the beehive under the peach tree with buds.

The bees started to fly out of the hive, performing their characteristic waggle dance to communicate information. The worker bees explored this new world and returned to the hive to report their findings.

Watching the life in the space gradually increase, from barren to having trees, grass, and animals, a unique sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

Looking at this place that was entirely his, Lin Xiao felt all his cells come alive. He completely relaxed, shedding the mask he maintained outside and returning to his true self.

His smile became more genuine, no longer the unchanged, standard smile that felt false to him.
