Chapter 33: Shipping Box Can Be Upgraded

These days, Qiao Xi's life is about shuttling between farmland and orchards.

More and more giant lemons and bitter candies are ripening. I sell what I need to sell. I put as much as I pick every day into the shipping box. I don’t want to save them and sell them in the free market. Retail sales are only suitable for small-scale operations. If I sell them in large quantities, Josh will be exhausted.

I took a look and saw that Goben and the others had almost prepared the wood and were working on the details, so they could go into the house and start work soon.

They said that the mud monster would come at noon and told Josh to stay away from it because the smell was even worse than that in the basement.

I finally managed to clean up the basement. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The stench that I used to smell only occasionally can now be smelled every day at noon. I wonder how bad it will smell in a few days.

The rotten substances piled up in the basement should be the large amount of monster meat and magic fruits that the previous farmer did not take away, as well as some other unknown substances. The long period of sealed fermentation made it like a septic tank. When Josh went in for the first time, the black water could even submerge Josh's ankles.

I heard that the great escape that led to the decline of Chaoyang City was because these secret spaces collectively collided here, breaking the spatial barriers. At that time, it was thought that the city could not be saved, and Chaoyang City became a deserted city.

Who knew that these secret spaces behind would inexplicably form a strange harmony, and no one dared to act rashly, giving the federal soldiers the opportunity to control the door to the secret space.

This led to the subsequent farm call-up and the pioneering war.

The fruits of the mutated giant lemon were also densely packed on the tree. Qiao Xi didn't want to sell them together with the ordinary giant lemons, so he kept them all.

We picked a lot today. Qiao Xi plans to make lemon nectar from all these fruits, which will make it easier to make honey lemonade in the future.

It’s too hard to keep calling it “Mutated Giant Lemon” and “Mutated Giant Lemon”, so Qiao Xi wants to give it a new name, which is also a magic fruit unique to the Weiguang Farm.

What should I call it? Josh scratched his head. It was so difficult to name it!

Sweet lemon? Mini lemon? Crisp honey lemon?

Qiao Xi thought for a long time and decided to call it Crisp Honey Lemon for the time being. The fruit is crispy, sweet and delicious, with a bit of sourness, and is nothing like the ordinary giant lemon.

Giving it a new name just makes it easier to distance itself from the giant lemon and sell it at a higher price.

Okay, let’s call it Crisp Honey Lemon. Qiao Xi picked out the crisp honey lemons from the basket, washed them with clean water, removed the stems, found a sieve, spread them flat to dry the surface moisture and set aside.

Holding the jar, she prepared to go find some slender-legged bees to get some honey, as she had almost sold all the honey she had harvested last time.

Just after coming out of the cabin, Josh saw the shipping box flashing red. He was puzzled. No one said that this thing would break.

What's going on? Did I use it too frequently these days and broke it?

Wait, Josh suddenly had an idea. The shipment volume has increased significantly in the past few days. Could it be possible to upgrade?
Josh excitedly pressed the upgrade button on the shipping box. Someone would come to upgrade it. However, the farm was still a level-free farm, and this update needed to be paid for by the user.

If Josh's farm is upgraded in the fall, the update will be free.

But it's at your own expense. After the upgrade, you don't have to wait until the next day to receive the payment. I don't know how many times I can ship more, and the space inside should be bigger. Qiao Xi thought happily, today is really a good day.

However, Josh could vaguely smell a foul odor, a different kind from the basement. It must be the sludge monster coming.

Qiao Xi quickly evacuated with the air rock rat and the big-tailed yak. ​​The brown-headed vulture flew into the sky without any need to be called.

Josh found a big rock and stood on it to watch the appearance of the mud monster from afar. Several fully equipped horse-like monsters were pulling a bathtub-like container with long ropes. Inside was the black and smelly mud monster. A masked man was on one of the horses.

It took so much effort to get this mud monster out, and Josh didn't feel sorry for the extra 5,000 federal points. Instead, he was wondering if the basement was so serious that it needed such a high-level monster to clean it up?
Fortunately, he didn't drag it. If he had really dragged a mud monster that smelled so bad, Qiao Xi would probably have foamed at the mouth and died of the stench as soon as he woke up that day.

When they arrived in front of the basement, they saw the mud monster slowly flowing out of the container like a pool of water. Goben also came over from the woods fully equipped, opened the basement door for them, and let the mud monster flow in.

Then he and the masked man waited at the basement door, waiting for the cleanup to be completed.

Unable to see anything and unable to return home, Qiao Xi could only walk aimlessly by the lake. The big-tailed yak was quite content, eating the tender green grass and drinking the clear lake water. It had grown a fat belly these days.

The rock rat was very busy. Its hoarding nature made it want anything valuable it saw. It ran here and there, and soon brought Josh a small pile of wild berries. They were sour, and Josh couldn't stand them, but it liked them very much.

The sun moved slightly to the west. Josh watched the mud monster, which had grown more than twice as large, come out of the basement entrance. The basement was very close to the canal in the farmland. The mud monster flowed straight into the canal, and the water in the canal was instantly dyed black.

Oh no, this won’t work. My broad beans and taro will be poisoned to death. Qiao Xi was so scared that he was about to jump off the rock.

Goben just waved at her from a distance, telling her not to come over and indicating that everything was fine.

But Qiao Xi was still worried, so he closed his eyes and listened attentively to the sounds of the two lands.

There was no whining, only a rustling noise. That meant it should be fine. Josh felt a little relieved.

After a while, the mud monster slowly flowed back into the big bathtub. The masked man said goodbye to Goben and rode away on his horse.

After seeing them leave, Qiao Xi waited for a while for the stench to dissipate before he hurried over to inquire about the situation.

Goben was already waiting for her there.

Seeing Qiao Xi running towards him anxiously, Goben quickly said to her, "Ms. Qiao Xi, please don't be nervous. It's okay. This is the secretion of the mud monster. As the water flows into the farmland, it will make the land more fertile and can better transform the barren land. This is also one of the services of the mud monster."

Ah, another surprise! Josh felt relieved.

Seeing Josh's expression brighten up, Goben gestured to Josh to check the basement quickly.

Qiao Xi still had some doubts. He had just finished and needed to air it out. The stench wouldn't dissipate for a while.
Unexpectedly, the basement was completely transformed. The silt, garbage, and corrupt dirty water were all gone. The walls and the floor were pure mud color. The corroded layer of soil was gone, and even the stench was swallowed up by the mud monster.

These five thousand flowers are worth every penny! It’s totally worth it!
