Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 800 The Transformation of the Orchid Queen, A Grand Gift!
The Gray Mist King blew on his mustache and said smugly, "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?"

"If you don't believe me, I can show you right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick gray mist suddenly erupted from his body, and countless fog crows condensed from the void.

His figure appeared and disappeared in the mist, with huge raven wings spread behind him, and his whole being exuded a suffocating pressure!
When the Gray Mist King withdrew his power, Queen Youlan and Rosie were completely certain that what Cao Xing said was true!

Shea murmured, "Power that surpasses the limits of legend, it's truly incredible."

"Grey, you've really struck gold this time."

King Gray Mist stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Lord Cao Xing for giving me this opportunity. Otherwise, even if I went deeper into that inheritance secret realm again, I probably wouldn't have been able to make such a big improvement."

"So, do you believe me now?"

Queen Youlan nodded slightly, then looked at Cao Xing.

"Does Lord Cao Xing mean that I, too, should experience this dream library?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He added, "However, opening this building will require a lot of my divine power fragments and precious resources."

"So... if you want to experience this ability, you may need to pay me some fragments of divine power."

He used the same words as King Gray Mist when speaking to Queen Orchid.

Upon hearing this, Queen Youlan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Divine power fragments... approximately how many are needed?"

“One hundred will suffice, Your Majesty.”

Queen Youlan pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'll give you two hundred."

"A place like this, which can greatly enhance one's strength, is an opportunity that is hard to come by even for legendary powerhouses like us."

"One hundred fragments of divine power is too few."

After speaking, she glanced at the Gray Mist King beside her, seemingly hinting at something.

The dwarf king, somewhat embarrassed by her gaze, rubbed his fingers together and stammered, "Well... actually, I gave Lord Cao Xing 150 fragments of divine power..."

Queen Youlan snorted coldly and interrupted, "Do you think that exchanging 150 fragments for such a powerful ability is a lot?"

“Gray, as an ally, Lord Cao Xing has given you such great help.”

"You're only offering such a small number of fragments? Doesn't that seem a bit stingy?"

Clearly, Queen Youlan felt that King Gray Mist had wronged Cao Xing, and this was her way of standing up for him.

Faced with her questioning, King Gray Mist broke out in a fine sweat.

Cao Xing was about to speak.

But then the short king suddenly stopped sitting up straight, as if he had made up his mind.

"The 150 fragments of divine power I gave you are nothing compared to the power you gained."

"But unfortunately, the national treasury is indeed tight right now, so we can't produce any more treasures..."

He paused for a moment, then said firmly, "However, please give me some more time, Lord Cao Xing."

"I will be venturing into the Gray Mist Heritage Realm again soon."

"We'll strive to present you with a grand gift the day your magnificent city is completed!"

Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise when he heard about the 'Gray Mist Inheritance Secret Realm'.

Earlier, he had heard these legendary experts mention that the power of several kings of the Gray Mist Kingdom seemed to originate from this secret realm.

Thinking of this, he looked at Queen Youlan beside him, his eyes filled with inquiry.

The majestic queen nodded almost imperceptibly.

Cao Xing understood her meaning and quickly said, "Your Majesty Gray is too kind. Actually, 150 divine power fragments are more than enough..."

But the Gray Mist King insisted, "Lord Cao Xing need not say more."

“Shea is right. Compared to the power I have gained, 150 fragments of divine power are far too few.”

"As an ally, I can't be too stingy, so this is settled!"

Seeing that he had gone this far, Cao Xing stopped refusing.

He wore a troubled expression on his face, but inside he was overjoyed.

Secretly, he also gave Queen Youlan a thumbs up.

As expected of the woman he set his sights on, that was a brilliant assist!

At this moment, Queen Youlan casually said, "Lord Cao Xing, I will pay you 200 divine power fragments first, let's begin."

As a kingdom that has existed for thousands of years, its heritage is truly astonishing.

After all, she had just given Cao Xing one hundred divine power fragments not long ago, and then she took out another 200. Her wealth was astonishing.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to rush."

"Because everyone experiences life differently after entering a dream, the things they bring back from there are also different."

"Perhaps your gains from this dream journey are not as substantial as you imagined."

"His Majesty Grey was able to awaken the amazing ability of [Embrace of Ash Raven] because he was lucky enough to encounter a power that suited his own attributes."

He paused for a moment and then said, "You can enter the dream world to experience it first. Wak out in seven days and see what abilities you have gained before deciding how many divine power fragments to pay me."

"how?"

Queen Youlan paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She knew that Cao Xing was thinking of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She looked at the man in front of her, a gentle expression appearing in her eyes.

"Alright... then so be it."

Cao Xing gestured for her to follow: "Your Majesty, please come with me. I will take you into the Dream Library."

Just as they were about to leave, the mature woman beside them suddenly spoke up.

Rosie said softly, "Lord Cao Xing, please wait a moment."

He stopped and asked in confusion, "Senior Rosie, what's wrong?"

Rosie gently stroked the strings of her violin: "I'd like to ask, can I also go inside and experience the Dream Library you mentioned?"

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Clearly, even this powerful individual was very interested in the Dream Library's abilities.

Upon hearing this request, Cao Xing did not answer immediately, but instead focused his gaze on Luo Xi.

Then, a properties panel full of question marks appeared.

Rosie from Chuanhai Fort

【grade:? ? ? 】

【property:???】

【Skill:???】

...

Clearly, the other party also possessed some special abilities that shielded him from detection.

However, judging from the ranking stone tablet in the ancient arena last time, Rosie from Chuanhai Fortress is definitely quite powerful!
Before Cao Xing and the others arrived, she had held third place for many years with her outstanding achievement of six minutes.

This is enough to prove that she is unfathomable.

If she gets some more opportunities after entering the library, it might allow her to reach an even higher level.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing nodded and said, "Of course."

"However, the Dream Library only opens once every seven days."

"You need to wait until Her Majesty Shea comes out before you can use it again."

Rosie smiled slightly: "Then I'll stay in your territory for a while, and have a chat with the girl you mentioned."

"How about I go into the library after Shia comes out?"

Cao Xing readily agreed, "No problem."

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, a smile appeared on the face of this legendary expert.

Then, the four figures arrived in front of the [Dream Library] once again.

Having already explained what to do next to Queen Youlan, she naturally headed towards the library entrance.

The black royal robe trailed on the ground, leaving Cao Xing with a resolute yet elegant silhouette.

"Om-"

After a strange fluctuation, a bubble-like light curtain rose up, completely enveloping the entire library.

At this point, Queen Youlan entered a dream state that lasted for seven days.

Cao Xing, the Gray Mist King, and Rosie from Chuanhai Fortress remained in place.

At this moment, King Gray Mist stroked his beard and said, "Lord Cao Xing, then I shall take my leave."

"I'll first get used to the new abilities I've gained, and then head to the Inheritance Realm to see if I can find any opportunities."

"Wait for my good news!"

Cao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Alright, then I'll await good news."

At the same time, the dwarf king disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, the territory teleportation array lit up with a white light.

Cao Xing withdrew his gaze, looked at the mature woman in front of him, and said, "Senior Rosie, please come with me."

"I'll arrange a place for you to rest first, and then I'll have Gwyneth come to visit you."

Rosie nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help."

...

… Half an hour later.

Cao Xing arranged a single room for Rosie from Chuanhai Fort, which was fully equipped with all kinds of daily necessities.

Not only that, but they also assigned two women to take care of her daily life.

As a top-tier legendary expert, he certainly deserves this kind of treatment.

Inside the room, Cao Xing and Luo Xi sat facing each other.

He spoke first, "Senior Rosie, please wait a moment, Gwyneth will be here soon."

Rosie nodded slightly and then continued to wait.

A moment later, there was a knocking sound at the door.

"Please come in."

As the sound faded, the wooden door to the residence was slowly pushed open.

A woman dressed in a plain-colored long dress, with an elegant demeanor, and carrying a harmonium in her arms, slowly walked in.

She raised her head, revealing a uniquely beautiful face.

Then I immediately spotted Rosie sitting in the chair.

Rosie's gaze also fell on Gwyneth.

The eyes of the two women, who shared similar experiences and were equally skilled in music, met.

There seemed to be some kind of resonance rippling in the air.

"clank……"

The organ in Rosie's arms suddenly emitted a clear, melodious sound.

She gently stroked the strings with her right hand, calming the restless organ, and said with slight surprise, "It can actually resonate with my [Heavenly Sound Harp]."

"He is indeed a promising talent in the art of music."

Cao Xing said, "Senior Rosie, what do you think of Gwyneth's aptitude? Can she learn from you?"

Upon hearing this, the mature woman nodded slightly: "Of course, this girl is exceptionally talented, a musical prodigy who appears only once in a century..."

"Perhaps, they can perfectly inherit all my abilities and become the new Celestial Sound Herrscher..."

“Even in the art of music, he surpasses me.”

Hearing such high praise from the other party, Cao Xing's face also showed a satisfied smile.

Then, he looked at the slightly reserved bard at the door and said.

"Gwyneth, come and pay your respects to Senior Rosie."

"From now on, she will be your master."

Although the bard was still somewhat bewildered, she obeyed Cao Xing's orders without question.

Gwyneth stepped forward and performed a standard apprenticeship ceremony: "Greetings, Senior Rosie."

Rosie quickly stood up to help Gwyneth up and pulled her to her side. "No need for formalities. From now on, we're family."

"Just be normal when you're with me, don't be shy."

Gwyneth nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the tension on her face eased somewhat.

"Yes, Senior Rosie."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.

Then she smiled and said, "Well then, Senior Rosie, you and Gwyneth talk for a bit, I'll head out now."

Rosie responded gently, "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy, Lord Cao Xing."

After Cao Xing left, Rosie quickly pulled Gwyneth aside to discuss the art of music.

Even after he closed the door, he could still hear the two people talking inside, as well as the occasional melodious piano music.

...

...

After dealing with the matter of the Dream Library, Cao Xing continued to patrol his territory.

After confirming that everything was alright, I entered the [Mage Tower] to meditate.

The whole day passed quickly.

...

...

In the days that followed, Cao Xing basically stayed in his territory.

Every morning, he would get up on time and watch the sunrise from the city wall.

Looking out from the city wall, the construction teams outside were working tirelessly to build the giant city, with tens of thousands of workers busily working like ants.

Then at night, he would randomly enter the rooms of women such as Francesca, Renis, or Xia Yanni and linger there.

Other combat personnel also stayed in their rooms, without going out.

During the day, they would go to the warrior camp or training ground for daily drills, and in the evening they would have a drink at the tavern and exchange combat experiences.

In addition, the Black Lion Merchant Guild and the Woodpecker Merchant Guild's wagons transport large quantities of grain in every day.

Even the "Dream Library" was enveloped in bubbles.

During this period, melodious piano music could be heard from time to time throughout the territory.

The sound was sometimes like the babbling of a clear spring, and sometimes like the chirping of a hundred birds, sounding particularly ethereal in the morning mist.

The beautiful music captivated everyone who listened.

The staff would put down their tools and listen quietly, and the soldiers would temporarily lay down their weapons to enjoy this rare moment of peace.

Moreover, the beautiful music seems to be improving every day.

From its initial slightly awkward beginnings to its current smooth and flowing style, it's like listening to heavenly music.

And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye...

There are less than two weeks until the start of the [Dream Fragments] event.

...

On this day, the bubble in the Dream Library burst, and Queen Youlan awoke from her dream.

Cao Xing, accompanied by 'Rosie from Chuanhai Fort,' arrived at the library entrance immediately.

The queen was still wearing her magnificent long robe, which remained perfectly wrinkle-free after a week of slumber.

Even her stunningly beautiful face showed no sign of fatigue, as if the experience in her dream was nothing more than a short afternoon nap.

However, his eyes now held a depth that came with the passage of time.

Cao Xing spoke first: "Your Majesty, Shia, you're awake."

Queen Youlan nodded gently, suppressing the myriad thoughts in her eyes, and then softly replied, "Mmm..."

"This library is truly a magical building. I actually spent nearly fifty years inside it and experienced a complete life."

Curiosity flashed in Cao Xing's eyes as he pressed, "Your Majesty, did you bring anything back from inside?"

Upon hearing this, Rosie, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but prick up her ears, a glint of light appearing in her eyes.

Clearly, even this experienced lady was very much looking forward to what Queen Youlan could gain in her dream.

Seeing their reactions, Queen Youlan smiled slightly.

"The things I brought out in my dream this time are a bit complicated to explain."

"Let me demonstrate it to you myself."

As she finished speaking, she slowly raised her right hand, from which a crystal-clear orchid phantom materialized.

The orchid was surrounded by a dreamlike purple halo, and nine fine lines could be faintly seen slowly flowing around its stamen.

Beside her, Rosie asked in confusion, "This is... your 'natal Yulan,' is there anything special about it?"

Queen Youlan gently stroked the petals with her fingertips and explained, "You should know that my 'natal orchid' is the source of my power."

"The more orchids I possess, the stronger I will become."

"After nine flowers have grown, the divinity can be activated, and the person can officially prepare to break through to the demigod realm."

As she spoke, the illusory orchid bloomed slightly in her palm, emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation!
Cao Xing looked at the orchid phantom in Queen Youlan's hand with some surprise.

I only knew that this queen fought by manipulating orchids, but I never expected that her power system was so unique.

She continued, "However... this kind of orchid is extremely difficult to grow."

"It requires daily consumption of divine power to feed and careful nurturing, and it takes a hundred years for one to grow."

"It will take at least nine hundred years to break through to the level of a demigod."

"During the Bloodshed, I used a fragrant orchid to forcibly increase my power, but I also lost a hundred years of my life."

"As expected, it will take about four hundred years before I can officially complete the foundation for breaking through to demigod status."

"As a result, in the dream, I not only re-cultivated the last four orchids, but also combined the nine into one..."

Upon hearing this, Rosie's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but ask, "Nine flowers combined into one..."

"You mean you've now activated your divinity and are ready to break through to demigod status!?"

Queen Youlan nodded gently, "It should be so. I have a feeling that the previously unbreakable barrier has begun to loosen."

"Now, all I need to do is condense my own primordial divine fire to transform into a demigod."

When she finished speaking, the two people on the field were completely stunned and stood there.

No one expected that Queen Youlan would gain so much from this dream!
It accelerated the process by four hundred years, directly skipping the most difficult accumulation stage, which was far beyond imagination!
This made Cao Xing feel extremely envious.

But then he thought about it again and felt relieved...
