Qin Yu turned over in his sleep. Then, as if sensing that something was missing, he immediately opened his eyes.
His surroundings were empty…
“Cutie?”
Qin Yu shouted with an anxious tone.
Then, he felt a breeze above his head.
Qin Yu immediately raised his head to check.
Then, he saw Cutie flying down from the top of the Tree of Life.
She could even fly?!
That made sense. After all, Cutie was an Elemental Sprite.
As long as she was within a certain range of the Tree of Life, she could fly.
“Brother~”
Cutie shouted happily with a cute smile.
“Elemental Sprite: Cutie”
“Level: Level 1 (Level-up requires 500 Energy Points)”
“Skills: Life Symphony (Healing, Regeneration)”
Cutie’s information interface appeared in Qin Yu’s field of vision as a translucent light beam.
The information on it was very simple. Only Cutie’s level and skills were listed.
Then, Qin Yu glanced at the interface of the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life now had another 200 Energy Points.
Qin Yu pondered. A hundred Energy Points could be used to breed an Elemental Sprite, while 200 Energy Points could breed two.
However, if he wanted to level up Cutie, he would need 500 Energy Points.
“Let’s breed two more Elemental Sprites.”
Qin Yu made his decision.
Breeding two more Elemental Sprites would mean that he would have two more helpers.
Qin Yu tapped twice on the interface of the Tree of Life to breed two Elemental Sprites.
At the same time, Qin Yu discovered that he could allow the Tree of Life to breed a new type of Elemental Sprite.
Generally speaking, the Tree of Life could only breed Elemental Sprites like Cutie, who had healing and recovery abilities.
However, it could now breed a new type of Thunder Elemental Sprite.
In other words, this type of Elemental Sprite could release lightning.
Furthermore, the Tree of Life could only breed one of each Elemental Sprite type.
Only when the Tree of Life was higher-leveled could it breed multiple Elemental Sprites of the same type.
Thus, it was able to breed a Thunder Elemental Sprite.
Furthermore, the Tree of Life had absorbed a lot of lightning energy because of the thunder and lightning in the Sea of Paramita last night.
“Then let’s breed a Thunder Elemental Sprite.”
Qin Yu looked at the interface of the Tree of Life and whispered.
After clicking on “Breed”, the Tree of Life started to change.
A ball of light similar to when Cutie was born yesterday appeared on the crown of the tree.
However, the ball of light this time was different from last time.
It carried traces of lightning around it.
They were like tiny lightning dragons.
They were protecting the ball of light as it grew.
“It looks like it’ll take a while.”
Qin Yu withdrew his gaze from the Tree of Life.
Then, he distributed the remaining 100 Energy Points to Cutie.
After Qin Yu finished distributing the points, he took out his farming tools and prepared to continue working.
“Ah!”
Cutie floated in front of Qin Yu in delight and wanted to help.
Thus, Qin Yu had another helper.
It was much more efficient.
He was in charge of plowing the land, while Cutie was in charge of planting the seeds.
In this way, after working for half a day, Qin Yu realized that… he could not keep up with Cutie’s progress!
Meanwhile, Cutie wanted to plow the land, but looking at her tiny body, she was not even as tall as a hoe.
Thus, Qin Yu rejected Cutie decisively.
Even if he agreed…
He could not watch Cutie plow the land either.
It would simply be too unnatural.
During this process, Qin Yu continued to teach Cutie how to speak.
Now, Cutie was learning more and more words.
At noon, Qin Yu ate a compressed biscuit and decided to rest for a while.
Cutie placed her hand on his chest once again to help him get rid of his fatigue.
Then, Cutie flew towards the Tree of Life. Qin Yu did not know what she wanted to do.
Qin Yu rested for a moment. When he realized that Cutie had not returned, he started to work alone.
The island was about ten square kilometers large, equivalent to 15,000 acres of land.
Furthermore, most areas on the island could be used to plant crops.
Although the island was bare, the soil was quite fertile.
In the first few years, there was no need for fertilization.
However, with such a large area, it would still take quite some time to grow plants.
Just like that, Qin Yu worked for another afternoon.
Cutie returned once again when it was nearly sunset.
It took her just over an hour to finish sprinkling the seeds.
She was an extremely capable helper.
“Alright, Cutie. Let’s continue tomorrow.”
After taking a glance at the growth of the crops, Qin Yu shouted at Cutie, who was scattering seeds in the air.
The crops were growing well.
At this rate, the raspberries would ripen in at most ten days.
The Growth Points from the system could further reduce the maturity time of these crops by half!
Thus, Qin Yu returned to the Tree of Life.
That was because a large number of branches had grown beneath the Tree of Life.
Furthermore, these branches even formed the shape of a small treehouse!
Qin Yu now knew what Cutie was doing in the afternoon.
She had made a treehouse that could shelter them from the wind and rain!
The entire treehouse and Tree of Life merged into one, making it seem quite natural and harmonious.
“Brother~”
Cutie floated in the air with a bag of seeds in her hand.
“Cutie, did you make this for me?”
Although Qin Yu already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear Cutie admit it herself.
“Yes!”
Cutie nodded her round and cute head vigorously.
Qin Yu flashed a gratified smile and rubbed Cutie’s head.
“Thank you, Cutie.”
Then, Qin Yu walked into the treehouse. The space inside wasn’t small.
Furthermore, there were also beds made of a large number of branches and ventilation windows.
The branches were very hard, but the bed made by Cutie did not feel hard at all.
On the contrary, it felt extremely soft to Qin Yu, as if it was covered with cotton.
Qin Yu expressed extreme satisfaction.
At the novice stage, even those rich kids who had hired a lot of people should still be living in tents at this moment, right?
The point of hiring people was that they could let those hired people bring in supplies for them.
Other than the Island Master, others could only bring 50 kilograms of items each time they entered.
Take the rich second-generation heir who hired 1,000 servants on the first day as an example.
These 1,000 people could carry five tons of supplies for him!
Just this starting point alone was already countless times higher than others!
At this moment, when Cutie heard Qin Yu’s words of gratitude, she flashed an excited smile. Her heart was already blooming with joy.
Qin Yu rubbed her cute little head again.
He genuinely liked this beloved little girl.
“Breeding of Thunder Elemental Sprite is complete!”
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Qin Yu’s mind.
This delighted him!
The Thunder Elemental Sprite had finally been born.
He strode out of the treehouse and saw a blue ball of light slowly descending from the Tree of Life.
Threads of lightning flashed around the blue ball of light.
This power of lightning was especially obvious.
Even if the Thunder Elemental Sprite was still determining its appearance or displaying its skills…
… Qin Yu could sense a large amount of lightning energy stirring in the air.
