Behind her, an even shorter girl was hiding behind her, her hands tightly gripping the long-haired girl’s clothes.
She peeked out from under the arm of the long-haired girl and looked at Li Tianxiang quietly.
Li Tianxiang smiled kindly and asked them.
“Why did you stay? Are you going to apologize to Sal?”
Upon hearing this, the little girl hiding behind the long-haired girl looked unhappy. Unfortunately, before she could say anything, the long-haired girl pulled her back.
The long-haired girl raised her head to look at the bedridden Li Tianxiang. A sincere expression appeared on her face, which was pale because of her weak body.
“I think what you just said is very true, so we are willing to apologize to Uncle Sal.”
Uncle Sal and Li Tianxiang’s lips twitched. One had to know that the little girl in front of them looked like she was eight or nine years old.
However, her actual age was probably more than fifty. Meanwhile, as for the orcs who had similar lifespans as humans, Sal was still in his prime. Considering that he was not married yet, he was at most 30 years old.
It was very likely that he was only around twenty years old, but he was called “uncle”. Li Tianxiang could only sigh at the diversity of lifespans in this alternate world.
Meanwhile, when Sal heard her words, his wheat-colored face unexpectedly turned red. He knocked the back of his head and chuckled.
Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows, but he wasn’t fooled by her words. The corners of his lips curled up into a playful smile as he looked at the blonde girl. Then, he bent down slightly and looked down at her. “Do you really want to apologize? Or do you just not want to do the work yourself?”
The girl was stunned. She didn’t expect Li Tianxiang to think that way about her. For a moment, she was furious and her face turned red. In the end, she said angrily.
“We will do the work ourselves. We have seen how hard it was for the orc uncles to build our houses for us. Naturally, we sincerely want to apologize and thank the uncles!”
After hearing this, Li Tianxiang was finally completely happy. The corners of his lips were so wide that they reached his ears. Even Linné looked at the blonde girl in surprise, as if it was the first time he had met her.
“Okay, okay, since you say so, Sal!”
Upon hearing his name being called, Sal did not dare to delay. He put away his shy thoughts and came to Li Tianxiang. However, he did not expect that Li Tianxiang would ask him to stand in front of the two girls.
For a moment, the medical building became somewhat awkward and quiet. Finally, it was Sal who spoke up to break the awkwardness.
“Actually, I can feel that what they’re saying is the truth. There’s no need to say those mushy words to me.”
Li Tianxiang did not really want to publicly punish them. Seeing that both parties were embarrassed, he waved his hand in amusement and let Linné take the children away before looking at Sal with a serious expression.
Upon seeing the change in Li Tianxiang’s expression, Sal knew that he was going to talk about serious matters. He also stood solemnly and quietly at the bedside, waiting for Li Tianxiang’s question.
“I heard from Siebel that you heard a voice in the fog dissuading you from exploring. Did you hear the tone of that voice? To put it simply, was the voice relaxed, serious, or emotionless?”
Upon hearing that Li Tianxiang was asking this question, Sal was slightly surprised. He had thought that Li Tianxiang would ask about the attacks in the fog, or what the creature their exploration team had destroyed.
However, he didn’t expect Li Tianxiang to ask about the tone of the voice.
Sal frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke with uncertainty.
“I’m not very sensitive to sounds. I think the voice sounded like it was joking around.”
When he heard this, Li Tianxiang’s eyebrows finally relaxed, although he didn’t know if it was intentional or not.
At the very least, this meant that the danger in the fog was not very dangerous towards the farm. Otherwise, the system’s notifications would have been extremely ear-piercing.
After a brief moment of relief, Li Tianxiang began to ask about their farm operations while he was in the Western Fantasy World.
“The new farmland has been cultivated, and all the land has been plowed. According to what you said, we’ll let Miss Succubus perform catalytic magic before planting.”
At this point, Linné happened to return to the hospital after sending the children off. Upon hearing Sal’s words, he thought of the reason why he was hired and immediately interrupted them.
“Although I don’t know what you’re planting, how your crops will be harvested, and what you will do with the crops after harvesting them, your farm is too simple.”
Upon hearing this, Li Tianxiang looked very interested. He waved his hand and a map of the farm appeared in front of everyone. This was one of the functions he had obtained after upgrading his farm.
Sal was first startled when he saw the somewhat illusory map. Then, he curiously touched it with his hand.
However, he found that the projection on the map had appeared on the back of his hand. He followed the direction of the projection to look for the source of the light, but found nothing.
Meanwhile, Linné immediately commented that this function was really too practical. Then, he began to explain what he had just said with this map.
“Look, the irrigation system in this part of the world is almost non-existent.”
Li Tianxiang looked in the direction that Linné was pointing at and realized that it was the 100 acres of land that the system had given him in the beginning. The seeds that Li Tianxiang had been gifted with had been planted in the land.
Furthermore, he could see that the seeds had been planted for 11 days and 12 hours. Since the flow of time in the two worlds was different, while Li Tianxiang had been in the Western Fantasy World for less than a day, 11 days had passed at the farm.
Other than that, there wasn’t much information.
However, Li Tianxiang had already asked the system about this. As the level of the farm increased, the data displayed in the map would become more detailed so that the farm owners could operate their farm more easily.
Initially, the land was only at Level-1. Before planting the seeds, the orcs only roughly plowed one side of the land. It was indeed very rough, and the irrigation system even relied on the orcs to fetch water every morning.
Li Tianxiang’s heart skipped a beat.
It was obvious that other than using elemental crystals to level up the land, they could also improve output and efficiency by fine-tuning or even mechanizing farming.
Thinking of this, Li Tianxiang thought about the earth crystals he had brought back. When he realized that they were still lying in the system warehouse, he first stopped Linné from continuing. He first tried to upgrade the land.
After he handed over 20 earth crystals to the system, something surprising happened.
There was an additional window on the map that showed the fertility of every piece of land, as well as the soil conditions.
Furthermore, behind the label “Land: Level-1”, there was an additional arrow. It was not pointing to a simple upgrade goal, but a possibility that was so complex that Li Tianxiang could not digest it for a period of time..
