Li Qingshan immediately perked up, holding a rusty axe in his right hand and a sharp woodcutter's knife in his left, his body radiating heat, ready for a fierce battle at any moment.

Time ticked by, and the countdown was drawing to a close.

Just then, a crackling sound came from beside my ears—another monster had emerged from the soil.

Li Qingshan stared intently at the refresh point, the flames blazing around him, yet he didn't feel the heat.

By the firelight, he first saw a head of jet-black hair, then green eyes and somewhat pale skin.

This is a paper figure.

She was dressed in richly colored makeup and wore a lavish wedding gown adorned with flowers.

The paper figure looked somewhat bewildered, as if it too was wondering why it was so hot around it.

Ah!

Immediately following, a piercing scream rang out, followed by a loud boom as the paper figure burst into flames.

It seemed to try to break free of the fire, but was soon burned to ashes.

Li Qingshan: "..."

After a while, Li Qingshan recovered and secretly marveled at his incredible luck.

He pushed aside the fire and, after the flames died down, began searching for debris in the embers.

He found five copper coins; he never expected that this paper figure was so wealthy.

If I hadn't made preparations beforehand, I certainly wouldn't have been a match for it. Unfortunately, as soon as it emerged, it ran into the fire; its attributes clashed, and it was burned to ashes.

Apart from these five copper coins, there was no other gain.

Li Qingshan didn't feel regretful, after all, these five copper coins were essentially something he had picked up.

He threw it back into the earthenware jar, and Li Qingshan lay down on the straw mat and fell into a deep sleep.

He was awakened by the heat, feeling a burning sensation all over his body, which he felt uncomfortable if he didn't release it.

Li Qingshan opened his eyes and realized he was covered in sweat. He sat on the bed, looked down, and immediately fell silent.

I finally understood the purpose of this red-core radish.

Everyone says that radishes can enhance male virility, but I didn't believe it at first.

The next morning, Li Qingshan was still shaken.

It's fortunate that I'm a virgin, otherwise how could I have survived?

After thinking for a moment, Li Qingshan decided to use the radish to exchange for a water vat at the village office.

He picked some common radishes and some red-core radishes, and carried them on his shoulder with a stick.

As they were walking, they saw a middle-aged man walking towards them from the opposite direction. He was wearing a straw hat and straw sandals, and carrying a fishing rod in his hand.

Li Qingshan's eyes lit up immediately: "Uncle Wang, the air force has failed again."

"What is the Air Force?" Old Wang asked curiously.

"So you didn't catch any fish again today?" Li Qingshan asked.

Hearing this, Old Wang seemed displeased: "What have you been doing? I haven't seen you fishing these past few days."

"I have to farm, unlike you who's so idle," Li Qingshan said. "I picked some radishes to exchange for something at the village office. How about I give you a couple?"

Old Wang smiled and declined, not wanting to get too involved with Li Qingshan.

"To tell you the truth, these radishes of mine have a wonderful use." Li Qingshan whispered a few words, then smiled and said, "Judging from your appearance, you're quite old, and it must be a time when your energy is waning. Why don't I give you two to take home and replenish your strength?"

Old Wang's eyelids twitched twice, and he said, "I've never seen anyone so tactless. But your radishes are fresh, so I don't need you to deliver them; I'll just buy them for you."

As he spoke, he reached into his robes and suddenly realized that he was traveling incognito and did not have any money on him.

Li Qingshan shook his head: "We're all poor people, what's the point of pretending? Besides, I have nowhere to spend the money you give me. I just want to take it to the market and exchange it for a water vat. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Old Wang was a little embarrassed, but he felt he had no choice but to buy it: "Alright, I'll take the radish. Now, come with me to go fishing for a few fish."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Li Qingshan with his large, calloused hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Li Qingshan was somewhat dazed and stammered, "Why do you just grab things like that?"

The two arrived at the riverbank, where Li Qingshan boasted about his own fishing theory, leaving Old Wang completely bewildered.

Finally, Old Wang couldn't help but say, "I consider myself a great enthusiast of this field, but I never imagined there were such profound and complex theories. However..."

He paused slightly, then said, "Why is it that according to your theory, I still can't catch any fish?"

"The fish in the river have probably all been fished out."

Looking into Lao Wang's sincere eyes, Li Qingshan replied just as earnestly.

Before they knew it, evening had fallen. Li Qingshan parted ways with Lao Wang, feeling a little regretful.

I wasted a whole day, did nothing, and even lost two bags of radishes.

This old Wang even wants to get his hands on radishes for free. But he'd already made his boast, so he couldn't take it back.

He was feeling depressed when he arrived in front of the dilapidated house. Looking up, he saw four large, rough pottery jars neatly placed in front of the house.

This……

He immediately thought of Old Wang, but he hadn't been separated from him the whole time, so how did he manage to get the large vat to his doorstep?

Unless, he's not some old farmer.

Li Qingshan carefully recalled Old Wang's appearance. Although his hands were covered in calluses, his wrists and neck were not the kind of dark tanned from wind and sun. Instead, he had an undeniable air of authority when he spoke and acted.

Could I have run into some important person?

The more Li Qingshan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He couldn't afford to say anything careless the next time he met him.

In any case, he suddenly acquired four large vats: one for storing water, one for storing grain, and the other two were left unused.

Li Qingshan's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of an idea.

Could I use this large vat to set up a monster spawning trap?

He tilted the large vat, carefully pushed it into the field, turned it upside down at the marked spot, and then carefully chipped the bottom of the vat with an axe, leaving a large hole.

If a monster spawns right under the water tank, you can use the hole to kill it without taking damage.

At that moment, Li Qingshan's vision blurred, and the countdown restarted.

Level 1 inhospitable field.

Time until next refresh: 23 hours and 59 minutes.

Great, this is a perfect opportunity to test the effectiveness of the water tank myself.

……

When Old Wang got up from the shore, two men in blue robes were already behind him, leading three horses.

"General, the items have been delivered and placed in front of his door."

"After this incident, he probably already knows who I am. It's a pity, we've lost a young friend who could spout nonsense." Old Wang sighed softly.

Once the other party learns my identity, they will cling to me like glue, displaying a fawning demeanor, hoping to gain a future through me.

If it weren't for what happened today, I could probably have easily given him a promising future.

But after what happened today, all he can get are a few water vats.

Perhaps he was just unlucky.

Old Wang gently shook his head, sighing at the impermanence of life.

"General, what should we do with these radishes?"

"Feed the horses, they're fresh now."

Old Wang mounted his horse and disappeared into the night.

That night, he lay in his tent, with his beautiful concubine beside him.

Suddenly, a series of sharp shrieks came from outside, waking him from his sleep.

"What is it?"

The messenger rushed over and said, "General, your beloved little red horses are in heat and are getting restless."

Old Wang's eyes widened suddenly: "But...that's a gelding!"
