Chapter 5

Thinking of the shameful spell, Gao Xi once again returned to his room. Unlike before, he was now holding a water bag filled with water, which was undoubtedly the life spring water from the Moon Well.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Now he could prove that things from the space could be brought out. This was actually the most important thing. Otherwise, the gold mine, the fat fish in the river, and the treasures on the unknown map would only be for show, unable to be used.

Gao Xi stood in the room, hesitated for a moment, and then placed the life spring water in a spot where it wouldn't easily tip over. This would be useful later, but he still had other tests to complete, such as seeing if he could bring other things into the space besides himself.

Such a test was very simple. There were many things in the room that could be used for testing, but choosing what to test was a very important decision.

Gao Xi wanted to achieve multiple goals at once: test whether things from the outside could be brought in, and also test something else.

After some thought, he saw a paper packet on the table and his eyes lit up.

The paper packet contained watermelon seeds, left over from a recent watermelon feast. They were plump and shiny.

"You're it!"

Gao Xi smiled. There was plenty of empty land in the space. If these watermelon seeds could really be planted, life inside would be even more leisurely, like a paradise, far better than the outside world.

After all, although the Dark Night Elf base had few buildings, it covered an area of two or three acres. In reality, even in a small county like theirs, such a large area would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Now, the space was freely given, and it came with the best natural environment. Gao Xi was truly delighted.

He didn't need large-scale development. After all, he was just one person, and there was no need to destroy the beauty of nature. But planting some things and keeping a few pets should be fine.

Thinking about this, he picked up the packet of watermelon seeds and glanced at the computer. Dong Chen was being attacked by four players, and his base was in ruins, clearly beyond saving.

Poor guy, encountering a teammate like Gao Xi was really unlucky.

Gao Xi felt a bit guilty and turned off the computer. Otherwise, Dong Chen's angry messages would keep popping up on QQ.

He clasped his hands together and muttered, "Dong Chen, Dong Chen, I have more important things to do. Bear with it."

Then he picked up the watermelon seeds, silently recited the spell in his mind, and returned to the space.

Since he didn't have any tools, he simply used his hands to clear the weeds and planted the watermelon seeds in the soil.

Normally, watermelon seeds have a growth cycle. They don't sprout, flower, and grow vines and melons immediately after being planted.

That would be normal.

However, when Gao Xi was about to fetch some life spring water and magic spring water to water the seeds and see what would happen, something strange occurred.

Right where he had planted the seeds, something broke through the soil, and a watermelon vine quickly grew, bloomed, and produced a few watermelons, which were initially fist-sized but continued to grow.

He was stunned. This was truly bizarre, but he soon accepted the impossible.

If the space in the bracelet could exist, it wasn't strange that things planted here could grow immediately.

He decided to test the effects of the two springs on the plants.

Gao Xi thought for a moment, then fetched some life spring water and magic spring water. He poured the magic spring water on the roots of one watermelon vine, marking it as No. 1.

Then he poured the life spring water on the roots of another watermelon vine, marking it as No. 2.

The third watermelon vine was left unwatered, marked as No. 3.

These three watermelon vines were for testing the effects of the life spring water and magic spring water.

In about a minute, the watermelons on all three vines matured.

However, they had three distinctly different appearances.

The watermelon from the vine watered with magic spring water was large and sweet, better than any watermelon Gao Xi had ever tasted, making it hard to stop eating.

Just a watermelon, and it was so delicious, truly astonishing.

Of course, because no pesticides or disease control agents were used, a few watermelons on this vine were damaged by pests and didn't grow properly.

The watermelon from the vine watered with life spring water tasted the same as ordinary watermelons but grew the best, with no signs of disease or pests.

The watermelon from the vine that wasn't watered at all was ordinary in taste and had some disease and pest damage.

From this test, Gao Xi concluded that the magic spring water could improve the quality of plants, and possibly animals, making them better and more outstanding. However, since this was just one test, it couldn't be considered absolutely accurate, but it was a reasonable assumption.

The life spring water, on the other hand, could enhance the vitality of plants and possibly animals, even resisting any bacteria and preventing illness.

This was crucial for livestock farmers. In recent years, diseases like foot-and-mouth disease and mad cow disease have become more frequent. If your livestock got sick, the losses would be significant. With the life spring, such risks could be completely avoided.

What made Gao Xi happiest was that the water in the Moon Well could automatically replenish itself, just like in the game, but it replenished faster, almost instantly.

After cleaning up the watermelon rinds, Gao Xi planned to take them out to feed the sheep. Watermelon rinds were easy to explain; he could just say he bought them if his parents asked.

He couldn't just throw the rinds on the ground; that would be too irresponsible. Besides, this was his private space, and he couldn't litter.

After washing his hands by the river, Gao Xi took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked into the dark war fog.

Curiosity was rising. Men always have a sense of adventure. He wanted to know how big the space was and what was in the war fog.

However, after walking less than five meters, he suddenly heard a low, deep roar from the darkness, which startled him.

He quickly retreated.

Goodness, there might be monsters in the war fog, like dogheads or thunder lizards?

After all, in Warcraft, these monsters would randomly appear on the map.

Forget it, he shouldn't take the risk. If he encountered those monsters, he would be dead for sure as an ordinary person.

Gao Xi swallowed and retreated to the light, thinking about whether he should buy a few Chinese rural dogs to help him explore. The area covered by the war fog was very intriguing.

The less than five meters he had walked had already turned dark again.

According to the game rules, the area would only become bright if buildings were constructed nearby, even just a Moon Well or a watchtower. But there had to be something there; otherwise, the area would instantly turn dark again.

Unable to explore, he decided to walk around the camp to familiarize himself with the surroundings. He hadn't had the chance to do so before due to various matters. If there were any wild animals nearby, it would be best to investigate early and take precautions.

However, after walking around, he didn't find any wild animals but discovered some wild fruits. Although they weren't as well-grown as cultivated ones and tasted a bit sour, they were more natural. Interestingly, fruits that couldn't normally grow in the same place were all present here.

Northern peaches and southern bananas were neighbors here, though they didn't taste great, as they weren't cultivated. Gao Xi had to praise humans for their pursuit of delicious food, which had never stopped.

Of course, not all the fruits were bad. Near the Ancient Tree, he found a purple fruit that looked like crystal. He didn't know its name, so he didn't dare eat it at first. Instead, he took a few and threw them to a rabbit hiding in the grass.

The rabbit didn't know if the fruit was poisonous but ate it happily and showed no unusual reactions. Gao Xi was still unsure, so he wandered around for about an hour before returning. The rabbit was fine and had even sneaked into the camp to try to steal more of the purple fruit.

Gao Xi, of course, didn't like this. He threw a few more to the rabbit, ate a few himself, and then built a fence with rotten wood to protect the fruit.

He was increasingly thinking about getting a few dogs. They could help him explore and also guard the camp.
