Chapter 1563: Female Noble (3)

Truly never expected that now I was already about to have my 5th territory.

It's only been a little over 3 months.

Everything feels so unreal.

Like a fresh graduate who, after working for 3 months, ends up with 5 houses?

What kind of dream start is this?

Zhao Chi looked at the World Stone in his hand, truly full of emotion.

At this moment, a soft, full figure walked past beside him.

"My lord, you're back."

Gu Qing's uniquely soft, coquettish voice.

"Yes." Zhao Chi nodded.

"These past two days, Chaoge Village has temporarily stopped developing farmland, but we've already unified the farming schedules of most of the fields, so future harvests won't be so frequent and chaotic. Each time, a large batch of farmland will ripen together, and we'll harvest them all at once."

"Good."

"The fastest to harvest are the 100 wheat fields, which have several bonuses including Fertile Soil + Golden Juice Fertilizer + Golden Block Fertilizer, so they only need 12 days for one harvest, and the yield isn't low. Then there are the 180 Experience Fruit fields, all with Golden Juice Fertilizer, so they only need a little over 13 days to harvest, and 160 of them have Golden Block Fertilizer, with very high yields."

"Good."

"The largest and most numerous are the 5,600 wheat fields, with no other bonuses, needing 25 days to harvest, meaning a large batch will be harvested at month's end."

"Understood."

"Of course, the 500 cabbage fields are still the fastest to harvest, only needing 6 days. We'll be able to eat plenty of vegetables very soon."

"That's not bad."

"Yes, very nice. The sugarcane fields take a bit longer. 200 of them have Golden Juice Fertilizer, so they only need 39 days to harvest. The remaining 300 will need to wait 75 days, but sugarcane yields are very high, so we'll have a bumper harvest then."

"Alright."

"This time, to unify the farmland, we harvested some half-mature fields early. Although we had to waste a lot, we still harvested quite a bit. A total of 5,000 tons of wheat was harvested. Everyone is processing it urgently now, and by tomorrow morning it can all be ground into flour, about 3,750 tons."

"That's quite a lot."

"It is quite a lot, but after all, some that were only half-grown had to be cleared out, so quite a bit was still wasted."

"Alright, no worries."

"Mm, we also harvested 343,000 Experience Fruits. They'll all be stored by tomorrow morning too. They're all very fresh, tender Experience Fruits. My lord, you can try one—the texture is very nice."

"Got it. Actually, you said so much I can't remember any of it. I can only remember that the Experience Fruits are very tender. Haha."

"Ah? My fault, my fault, I said it too complicatedly."

"It's not your fault. Even if I can't remember exactly, I can get the general idea. Having a rough impression in mind is good too."

"Really? Hehe, then there's one last thing to tell you."

"Mm, go ahead."

"My lord, you're the best."

Saying this, Gu Qing affectionately hugged him, wrapping around Zhao Chi's waist.

Her extremely full softness covered nearly half of Zhao Chi's body.

Zhao Chi smiled and held her: "You're the best too."

But the World Stone was too heavy, and Zhao Chi nearly dropped it on the ground.

Gu Qing curiously looked at the World Stone in Zhao Chi's hand.

"Is that a gemstone in your hand? It looks very heavy, and it's actually seven-colored?"

"This is a World Stone."

"A World Stone? It looks a bit different from the ones I saw before."

Zhao Chi nodded: "World Stones are all irregularly shaped, and this one, like our territory, is rather special—it hasn't been registered."

"Oh~ got it."

Gu Qing didn't care about the World Stone, instead focusing on hugging Zhao Chi, constantly pressing softly against him. Gu Qing knew Zhao Chi liked it like this.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Why can't you bear to let go?"

Gu Qing laughed: "The World Stone is your treasure, so you can't bear to let go. But you are my treasure, so of course I can't bear to let go either."

Zhao Chi said: "Who says I can't bear to let go? Here, let me show you."

Zhao Chi handed it to Gu Qing, who took it with one hand, easily.

"You can't bear to part with this World Stone, but I can't bear to part with you. You're my sweetheart, I can't bear to let go."

Zhao Chi said: "Why are you being so cheesy?"

Gu Qing didn't mind at all: "So what? Cheesy is cheesy. I just want to say these things to you, and I have a lot more cheesy things I want to say."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Save them for later. It's only a few hours until midnight."

"I'm just afraid that by then I won't be able to say anything, only screaming. Wouldn't your wait be wasted then?"

"No worries, you don't need to talk. Your cries are the best words—I love hearing them most."

"Then you can listen to them for a long time every night."

"Yes, never tire of hearing them."

"Then I'll be even louder tonight."

"No need, I don't want deliberate sounds. I want to hear your most genuine voice."

"Hehe, got it. Here, take this precious stone back. What if I accidentally activate it and waste it?"

Zhao Chi laughed: "This is a World Stone, different from other items. You can't use it."

Gu Qing was a bit surprised: "Can't use it? But just now the system even asked me if I wanted to activate it."

"Ah?"

Zhao Chi froze, staring at Gu Qingjiao's world-shakingly beautiful face, trying to judge whether she was serious or just playing with him.

But Gu Qing didn't seem to be joking.

"You can activate the World Stone?"

"I should be able to, right? The system asked me to confirm, so I clicked cancel."

"What! Is this real?"

Gu Qing's single sentence flipped Zhao Chi's expression from a flirtatious smile straight into stunned disbelief.

Gu Qing was also a little puzzled by Zhao Chi's reaction.

"Of course it's real, my lord, what's wrong? I didn't activate it, I didn't waste it on you."

"No, no, no—activate it, activate it right now and try."

"Huh?"

Now even Gu Qing was surprised.

"Me activate it? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"Wait, wait, wait… hold on a moment…" Zhao Chi forced himself to calm down.

Gu Qing obediently stopped, watching Zhao Chi with a puzzled look.

This matter was truly too unusual.

Gu Qing wasn't a person of the Great World—she was a hero summoned through Heroic Spirit Summoning, essentially the same kind of vassal as Tang Ruan, Feng Xiu, Fang Li, and the others.

She shouldn't be able to use the World Stone.

The World Stone wasn't an item—it was a kind of world…

Zhao Chi found it hard to explain clearly either.

If one had to put it bluntly, if this world were a game world, then Gu Qing and the others would all be game characters.

Of course they could use things like Speedwork Talismans and Stamina Pills—those were in-game items anyone could use.

But the World Stone was different.

It didn't count as an item; it was more like a save file, another world.

They shouldn't be able to use it!

Then why could Gu Qing use it?

Gu Qing stood where she was, silently enduring the full weight of Zhao Chi's gaze.
