Fanny followed him through the farm, through the bramble forest, and to the outermost area.
This was an empty area, and he had left it for other protection.
He just had not thought about what to do and how to deal with it.
But, now that Fanny had come, he had a better idea.
If this area was filled with highly poisonous plants and spaces, and as long as the enemy walked in, they would be affected by the poison, then they could greatly weaken the enemy.
His requirements were not high. As long as he could withstand the first wave of enemies, he could think of other ways to fend off further enemies.
According to the information he had learned for such a long time, he could be sure of one thing.
Every time he resisted a monster, the floating island would rise.
After rising, the energy would be more abundant.
Only with sufficient energy could he plant higher-level fruits.
Under normal circumstances, there was no way for him to grow a level 4 fruit in his current position.
If Alice and the others were not there to help, he would not have succeeded.
If he wanted to grow a level 5 food, he had to withstand this attack.
Otherwise, he would be immediately eliminated.
Steven took Fanny and looked around, saying, “I need you to turn these places into the highly toxic places. Can you do it?”
Fanny nodded firmly. “Yes, I can.”
“Okay, I’ll leave this place to you. I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Steven said with a smile.
“I won’t,” Fanny answered softly with certainty.
Steven smiled and said, “Let me see if you can make it look like what I need.”
“Okay,” Fanny replied. She walked to the side and squatted down, channeling all the decay ability in her body into the ground.
The weeds growing well suddenly withered, and the ground was filled with a decaying aura.
This aura made him feel incredulous and terrifying.
He took a few steps back, maintaining a distance between him and her.
After these decaying auras entered the soil, Steven discovered a problem.
That was, Fanny’s originally withered appearance had become a little more energetic.
It was as if the impurities in her body had been expelled, revealing some of her original appearances.
Fanny’s movements did not stop, and soon, the place where she was located became decayed.
The ground was even covered in a green poisonous gas, and a pungent, unpleasant smell could be smelled from afar.
Steven was delighted. “Very good, that’s what we’re going to do. You’ve done very well. Continue.”
“Yes.” Fanny had never received praise from others.
Everyone would stay away from her presence and be afraid of her.
Her master was different. He gave her a sense of achievement and made her useful.
Steven left this place. He did not dare to stay long. He believed that Fanny could do well.
The next morning, they got up early to pick strawberries. They were going to pick all the strawberries today.
Lydia was right. She felt a warm current in her lower body when she got up in the morning.
Her period had come.
Fortunately, she had put a sanitary pad on yesterday, or she would have been humiliated.
Her stomach still hurt a little, and she did not want to move at all.
So she stayed in her place and did not go anywhere.
Steven did not bother her and took Alice and the others to work.
Around ten o’clock, all the strawberries were finally picked.
When it was time for the appointment, Phoenix arrived. Unfortunately, it was the same people from yesterday.
Steven smiled and said, “This is all my strawberries. So you can count them.”
“Okay.” Phoenix was thrilled. After she handed over the goods yesterday, she was praised by the higher-ups.
One by one, the island owners accumulated their wealth. It would not take long for her to realize her freedom from corporate jobs.
She asked someone to check the weight and price.
Steven asked her to move away and gave her a look.
Phoenix knew that he wanted her help, but she did not know how to do it.
So she walked to the side with him and chatted quietly.
Phoenix asked, “Are you really going to cause trouble for the Black Dragon Society? They are a very famous gang. Provoking them won’t end well!”
Steven chuckled and asked, “Do you think they should have a good ending just because they provoked me?”
Phoenix was slightly stunned. She did not expect him to say such a big thing.
But it made sense. From the first time she met him, she knew that this man was not simple.
He was not someone that could be easily provoked.
Phoenix smiled self-deprecatingly and asked, “What are you going to do?”
Steven handed the box in his hand to her. “Help me sell this box of strawberries to them. I think they will definitely need this level-4 strawberry.”
Phoenix took the box and opened it. It was no different from the one she had bought. It was a wonderful strawberry.
She asked in confusion, “Is there anything wrong with this strawberry?”
“There’s a kind of poison in it.”
“Ah!”
Seeing her surprised expression, Steven chuckled, “Don’t be afraid. It won’t poison people to death. It will only make them wish they were dead.”
Phoenix frowned and said with difficulty, “You have to know that this is a crime. I’ll be your helper. If I’m found out, I’ll be hunted down.”
“I know.” Steven nodded.
“You want me to do even after knowing the consequences?”
“Because I believe you will do it.”
“Why? Do you think I’ll risk my life to get your favor?”
Steven shook his head. “That’s not what I mean. I think you’re a smart person. You know what to do, and you won’t get hurt doing so.”
Phoenix was slightly stunned. She clearly did not expect him to say that.
She laughed at herself. “Are you overestimating me? Or are you deliberately putting me on a pedestal to get me to help you?”
Steven smiled and said, “You can think of it as both.”
Phoenix fell into deep thought. This was not a small matter. Unfortunately, it was not that simple.
If she agreed to this request, she would be trapped in a whirlpool and could be in danger at any time.
Steven also knew that this alone was not enough for a person to take that risk.
He took out his trump card and said, “As long as you help me complete this task, I will give you one-third of the level-3 seed you gave me after it ripens. I will give it to you for free.”
Phoenix was extremely surprised. She did not expect that he would spend so much money.
With his high yield, one-third of the seeds would weigh at least 40 catties. Their purchase price was 200,000, so she would get 8 million.
Moreover, she did not give him the low-yield seeds like strawberries.
One-third, at least 10 million.
Phoenix looked at him in surprise. “You… are you sure?”
Steven said firmly, “I’m sure! If you don’t agree, I’ll have to find someone else. I believe that money can make the world go round!”
Phoenix was in a dilemma, but she did not hesitate for long. She gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll help you.”
