Chapter 2: How To Use The Golden Finger

After studying for a long time with no change in himself, Li Changsheng couldn’t help but close the player list in disappointment.

However, he also noticed a small dot in the upper right corner of the entire screen, with two words labeled in text: 【Warehouse】

Clicking on the warehouse, a game backpack with 10×10, a total of 100 grids opened, and it was empty.

“This should be the game backpack. I wonder if it can only hold items from the game?”

Li Changsheng muttered to himself, and while thinking, he picked up the dagger hanging at his waist.

This was a lower-grade magical artifact, something his parents gave Li Changsheng for self-defense.

With a thought from Li Changsheng, the dagger, with its gem-encrusted hilt, instantly disappeared from his hand and appeared in the game’s backpack, occupying a grid.

“It really works!”

Li Changsheng clenched his fist fiercely, extremely excited in his heart.

With just this 100-grid spatial backpack, Li Changsheng could think of many uses for it, and it could completely serve as a small golden finger.

In this Xianxia cultivation world, although there are also storage pouches, spirit beast bags, space rings, Sumeru mustard bracelets… and other spatial magical artifacts.

However, these magical artifacts not only cost a considerable amount of spirit stones to purchase, but they also have physical forms. Even if they can store items, the body of the artifact will remain, leaving a trace.

But the spatial grids in the game have no physical form at all, which allows Li Changsheng to do many things that ordinary people cannot.

He took out the small dagger and hung it at his waist again.

Li Changsheng’s finger moved, and he clicked on the field in the screen. A game prompt immediately popped up:

【This game’s content and visuals are automatically bound to the player’s real-world fields and are automatically updated based on real-world conditions】

Seeing this sentence, Li Changsheng couldn’t help but touch his chin and ponder.

If I’m not mistaken, this sentence means:

This golden finger of mine is not completely bound to the spirit field I am currently under.

If I were to switch to a larger and better spirit field in the future.

This game system will also automatically update, and the game screen will change to a larger and better spirit field treasure land!

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng let out a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart.

The current spirit field in the house, although passed down from the original owner’s parents, does not fundamentally belong to the Li family, but is a spirit field that the Li family rented.

The rent for the spirit field is 100 spirit stones per year, paid in two installments.

This rent is considered very ordinary in the entire cultivation world.

What is truly expensive is the qualification to rent the field.

Li Changsheng’s parents spent a full 1000 spirit stones back then to obtain the qualification to rent spirit fields.

Although the qualification to rent spirit fields rarely changes.

But Li Changsheng couldn’t help but worry that if the true owner of the field were to reclaim it one day, wouldn’t his golden finger be useless?

But now he didn’t have to worry about it.

With his biggest worry resolved, Li Changsheng tentatively pointed his finger at the spirit wheat on the game screen, wanting to see what would happen.

Instantly, as Li Changsheng expected:

The entire spirit wheat in the game emitted a spiritual light, and a long progress bar appeared above the wheat field.

Li Changsheng was very familiar with this progress bar.

It was the biggest selling point and core gameplay of the entire Farmhouse Fun game: accumulating money by constantly trading crops to withdraw cash.

Although the progress bar at this time had not yet reached 100%, it had already advanced a considerable amount, with two white light spots already illuminated on the progress bar.

If it were still the game on the mobile phone, that would represent two opportunities for withdrawal, possibly amounting to about three cents?

“I beg you, please don’t actually manifest three or two cents for me!”

Li Changsheng silently recited the titles of all the gods and Buddhas in his heart and clicked on the first light spot on the progress bar.

“Bang!”

As the white light spot exploded, colorful ribbons lit up the entire game screen.

【Congratulations to the player for obtaining three months of cultivation reward! 】

As the game prompt appeared, Li Changsheng immediately felt a surge of powerful and pure spiritual energy pouring into his meridians.

He quickly adjusted his meditation posture and circulated the Evergreen Technique with all his might to digest the spiritual energy that had suddenly appeared in his body.

With the full circulation of the cultivation technique, Li Changsheng’s aura became increasingly surging.

With a dull “thud”!

As if a bottleneck had been forcefully broken through, Li Changsheng’s aura suddenly increased, smoothly advancing from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining!

“I actually broke through!”

Li Changsheng opened his clear and bright eyes and said with surprise, a cold smile appearing on his face.

As expected, the golden finger is linked to cultivation!

It’s not asking me to be a farmer for my whole life!

Although this breakthrough, the three months of cultivation only served as the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

The real reason was that Li Changsheng’s previous accumulation of spiritual energy had already reached the perfect state of the second level of Qi Refining.

However, the reward of cultivation and the breakthrough in realm still made Li Changsheng’s heart tremble.

Compared to the breakthrough in cultivation, the fact that the golden finger played a role made Li Changsheng even happier!

He couldn’t help but point his finger at the second light spot on the progress bar.

“Bang!”

The light spot burst, and colorful ribbons flew everywhere, as if he had won a grand prize, it could be said to be full of emotional value.

【Congratulations to the player for obtaining nine months of cultivation reward! 】

An even more surging spiritual energy appeared in Li Changsheng’s body.

He quickly meditated and cultivated, circulating the Evergreen Technique with all his might to digest this spiritual energy reward, and it took a long time to stop.

The reward of nine months of cultivation made Li Changsheng’s progress towards the fourth level of Qi Refining from the third level of Qi Refining advance by a significant margin.

“It seems that this cultivation reward is issued based on my spiritual root talent.”

Li Changsheng sensed the change in his cultivation within his body and thought with a somewhat displeased expression.

Spiritual root, oh spiritual root, truly the root of a cultivator’s life!

He glanced at the progress bar above the spirit wheat again.

The entire progress bar had a total of four light spots. The two light spots that had lit up represented two opportunities for cultivation withdrawal.

He had already used them, and in total received one year’s worth of cultivation rewards.

The remaining two, one in the latter half of the progress bar, and one at the very end, had not yet lit up.

Especially the light spot at the end of the progress bar was exceptionally large, and the reward it represented was probably a grand prize that could not be compared to the previous light spots!

Based on previous game experience, this grand prize would likely have to wait until all the spirit wheat had matured before it could be claimed.

Li Changsheng’s gaze then shifted to the spirit rice, which occupied a quarter of the game screen.

His fair and slender fingers gently tapped on the rolling waves of rice, and a long progress bar appeared.

On the progress bar, only two of the four light spots had lit up.

Upon clicking the first light spot, colorful ribbons exploded.

At the same time, a game prompt appeared:

【Congratulations to the player…】
