Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

As Chen Ye took control of Xiao Qing's body and began to dominate, Xiao Qing was sweating profusely, but her consciousness was gradually returning.

At the same time, the heat source in Xiaoqing's body was temporarily suppressed and became much gentler.

Xiaoqing slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze towards Chen Ye held a newfound liveliness.

That's because of the upgrade in rank, the absorption of the [Fire Control Pill], and the resulting greater control over flames.

This benefit also reflects into her mental consciousness, making Xiaoqing's current situation much better than before.

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to absorb this [Fire Control Pill] properly."

Xiaoqing's cheeks were slightly flushed. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that Chen Ye was very charming, and since he seemed to be around the same age as her, she was even more full of fantasies.

However, Xiaoqing also knew that with her status and position, she was completely unworthy of him.

This unrealistic fantasy only appeared briefly in Xiaoqing's mind before disappearing.

Chen Ye smiled slightly and ruffled Xiao Qing's hair:

"You learn very quickly too; you've mastered flame control so fast."

Xiaoqing stretched out her finger, and a fireball immediately appeared in front of her, hovering above it and appearing very bright. She played with the fireball for a while, being able to make it grow larger and smaller. This already showed that Xiaoqing's control over the flames had reached a remarkable level, and she was no longer a novice or a weakling.

"This is so much fun... My previous level of fire was only enough to make a match, but I never expected that eating just one pill would lead to such a big improvement!"

Xiaoqing's face showed surprise. She never expected that her control over the flames could reach such a level!
Being able to get to know Chen Ye this time is truly the greatest blessing I've ever had!
at this time.

Lin Shu's shouts came from downstairs:
"Gentlemen, the food is ready. Please come down and eat!"

Hearing Lin Shu's voice, Chen Ye and Xiao Qing walked down the steep steps next to them towards the restaurant on the second floor.

As soon as I entered, I smelled the aroma of tofu.

There were two or three plates of vegetables on the table. They were very simple, but they exuded a wonderful aroma, as if eating them would be very beneficial to one's health.

As soon as Chen Ye sat down, he immediately noticed that although the dishes looked simple and plain, they were very well seasoned and had a certain charm. They must have been vegetables grown in his own yard, which was why they were so charming.

He picked up his chopsticks, took two or three bites of vegetables, and put them in his mouth.

The delicious flavor immediately filled his mouth, making Chen Ye's eyes light up slightly:
"Grandpa, how are these vegetables grown? They taste so delicious!"

After all, the food produced in Chen Ye's own restaurant is mostly meat-based.

The vegetables of the bizarre era are mostly quite strange.

but.

The vegetables grown by the forest are indeed extremely delicious, as if they came from heaven. No matter how you eat them, they are very flavorful.

Moreover, it's not greasy at all, and after you finish eating it, you'll immediately want to have another bite.

Despite its simple and plain preparation, it's incredibly delicious with rice.

This rice, including the rice itself, is made from ordinary rice grains.

The rice was almost exactly the same as the rice I ate in my previous life, and you could even say it tasted much better!

Therefore, Chen Ye immediately became certain that Lin Shu must have some secret.

From Chen Ye's perspective, Lin Shu is likely a player rather than a native.

But it only affected the older indigenous people.

Chen Ye glanced into the other person's pocket and noticed the outline of a blood-red phone, almost identical to the blood-red phone in his own hand.

Through this point on West Street, Chen Ye immediately confirmed Lin Shu's identity: he was not a native, but a player.

However, some players who descend into the bodies of natives can bring their own memories.

Therefore, Lin Shu learned that he owned such a house and had been continuously improving his [Minister of Agriculture] profession, unlocking more of his special skills.

However, because he transmigrated into a body whose lifespan was about to end, he was quite unlucky, facing the tribulations of wasting time every day, as if he could pass away at any moment.

fine……

He took Xiaoqing as his last disciple and even adopted her as his granddaughter, treating her like family. Xiaoqing was very well-behaved and would help her grandfather collect herbs and refine pills to find a way to survive.

Lin Shu knew that Chen Ye would definitely be interested in these things. In fact, he had already figured out Chen Ye's identity long ago. He was definitely a player, not a native. That was why he could refine such good pills with such a young appearance.

However, he adhered to the principle of seeing through things but not revealing them, after all, his life was only saved because Chen Ye had made such a good pill.

Think of this.

Lin Shu immediately rattled off all the planting techniques, speaking eloquently and explaining the principles very clearly.

Chen Ye wrote down all these techniques, intending to get some seeds and plant them himself.

These seeds are extremely precious.

Only Lin Shu can get these seeds.

Lin Shu then took out a large bag of seeds from the dusty warehouse, handed it to Chen Ye, and smiled:

"After the harvest, you can also refine some seeds yourself and grow a medicinal herb garden."

"Moreover, I have already enhanced the growth rate of these seeds through the abilities of the [Minister of Agriculture], so they will definitely grow very quickly."

"However, the watering time and fertilizer used for each kind of medicinal herb are not quite the same."

"These fertilizers are all made by myself. I can give you some for now, but fertilizers require certain raw materials to be made, so they are very precious. Only with these fertilizers can the crops be harvested quickly."

"In general, there are many different ways of planting, and you need to keep them in mind in order to keep planting going."

After listening to everything Lin Shu said, Chen Ye wrote it all down and humbly accepted it.

at this time.

It was already dark, and Chen Ye and the others had finished all the food on the table without wasting a single bite.

Xiaoqing and Linshu both have the habit of going to bed early.

In this world, after dark, there's nothing special that needs to be done anymore.

Moreover, strange things always happen in the neighborhood after nightfall.

However, Lin Shu's house has excellent feng shui and is protected by a deity statue, so he is not afraid of these evil spirits threatening him.

Chen Ye went downstairs to the ancestral hall and found that the statues on it emitted a dazzling, shimmering light that enveloped the entire house.

At the same time, the entire house was shrouded in a peaceful white mist, making it appear particularly harmonious.

Chen Ye's heart stirred slightly.

I feel that this house has really become much better after these things were placed there.

As night deepened...

Chen Ye returned to the third floor to rest and check the situation downstairs.

The neighbors nearby also adhere to this habit.

I went to bed very early after dark.

Maybe……

This habit stems from an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. After all, Chen Ye knows that any entity existing in a strange era will possess, to some extent, the ability to seek advantage and avoid harm, and will not be disturbed by these sinister entities.

At that moment, Chen Ye suddenly noticed a red moon hanging in the sky.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned cold and gloomy.

"It seems something has happened, something must have occurred." Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just then, Chen Ye suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums.

It sounded like a lion dance.

It came from a very far place, faint and indistinct, but it was definitely audible.

Da da da! ! !
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the next room, rushing towards Chen Ye.

There were three polite knocks on the door, not very loud.

Followed by.

An aged voice came from the doorway:

"Young man, are you asleep?"

Chen Ye got up and went to open the door. He immediately saw Lin Shu and said:

"I'm not asleep yet."

"Did you hear that sound of gongs and drums?" Lin Shu asked uneasily.

It seems... this is a sound that only players who have reached a certain level can hear!
Chen Ye nodded and said, "There was indeed a sound of gongs and drums, you heard it too?"

"good."

Lin Shu nodded repeatedly and said, "That sound was extremely eerie. I've been hearing similar sounds for the past few days, and every time I hear it, I feel a chill all over my body."

Chen Ye observed with the [Eye of Fortune] and found that Lin Shu's fortune had indeed become very bad, but fortunately he had taken his pill, which extended his lifespan for a long time. The black aura was indeed blocked by the light of the white number of peace.

But for some reason, this black aura kept following Lin Shu.

"Something must have gotten into trouble with you," Chen Ye said after thinking for a moment.

"What should I do?" Lin Shu asked anxiously.

After all, he always felt that his lifespan was about to end, and even after taking this pill, there was no significant improvement.

Chen Ye's eyes flickered, and he said, "I will search for the source of this gong and drum sound. You stay inside the house and don't wander around. I will go and find out what it is that wants to make a move against you."

"no problem."

Lin Shu nodded repeatedly.

He also knew that his survival was inseparable from the protection he received from the mansion's territory, so he had to stay here to avoid being attacked.

Moreover, just a few days ago, Lin Shu had already noticed that something in the entire house seemed to be constantly moving around him, but he didn't know what was blocking it from the outside.

therefore.

It's still necessary to stay at home completely for safety.

…………

At this moment.

Chen Ye was already standing on the street.

The crimson moonlight shone down, stretching the outlines of the surrounding buildings long, turning the ground into a scarlet curtain.

The visuals are somewhat frightening.

however.

Chen Ye had already experienced several sleepless nights. Whenever such nights came, the streets were filled with ghosts having a wild party. This small scene could no longer sway Chen Ye.

Using his [Eye of Fortune] to observe, Chen Ye saw a red line connecting Lin Shu's mansion.

It will continue to extend.

It seemed to have come from a very distant place, ethereal and distant.

"Where exactly would this red line be located?"

Just as Chen Ye was about to follow the direction from which the red thread had come, two blood-red silhouettes suddenly appeared near Lin Shu's residence.

"It seems this thing has already arrived!"

Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly activated the effect of [Spiritual Vision] to see what it was.

He had already guessed it.

If something can disturb Lin Shu's residence, then it must be a being from the spirit world—invisible and intangible, but extremely terrifying.

Just then, the two figures formed from the black mist appeared, dressed in ancient-style robes, their faces completely obscured, like a mosaic.

At the same time, each of them held two sickles in their hands.

Those two scythes possessed strong spiritual attributes, but the completely dark spiritual realm made them feel quite sinister.

These two small black figures were constantly manipulating scythes, attacking the entire mansion.

However, a white aura of peace emanated from the mansion, blocking the scythe's attack from the outside, making it not so easy for it to enter.

"Who are you?"

A fierce glint flashed in Chen Ye's eyes, and he immediately began to play the suona. Instantly, the layered sounds of the suona enveloped the two figures.

next second.

The two figures suddenly seemed to be pulled by some force, and fell directly from the sky.

They were all wearing masks, and after giving Chen Ye a sinister look, they immediately swung their sickles and lunged at him.

However, the next second, Chen Ye entered the gray fog directly.

The two scythes passed right through his body without causing him any harm whatsoever.

Followed by.

Chen Ye used the colored passage to arrive directly near the two figures. He then used the power of destiny to power his demonic blade and slashed at the two figures!

Bang.

The two figures were instantly cleaved into wisps of gray mist that drifted away.

"Finally solved."

Chen Ye smiled slightly and returned to his room to rest.

However, to Chen Ye's surprise, the sound of gongs and drums was still going on.

He glanced in the direction where Lin Shu was.

It was discovered that the forest's current aura was gradually returning to normal. (End of Chapter)
