Chapter 71

She instinctively grabbed Li Qingxuan's arm, her nails slightly digging into his skin. "Qingxuan brother, I didn't see wrong, right? Over a thousand catties!"

Upon hearing that, Li Qingxuan's breathing grew a bit quicker, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

"That means we originally could only get a thousand catties, now we have two hundred more!" Li Feifei looked at the data on the control panel, a huge sense of achievement like a warm current swiftly spreading through her body, instantly dispelling the last trace of fatigue left from spiritual power consumption.

Her cheeks flushed with excitement, her eyes shining with bright light, "We… we will have flour soon! So much flour!"

Li Qingxuan nodded firmly, his inner excitement equally hard to put into words. This was not just food, but also the hope and confidence they had created with their own hands in this world.

"Process the 1,100 catties of wheat immediately—hull it, grind it into flour!" Li Feifei gave the order decisively.

The mechanical arm moved again, sending the wheat grains from the storage container through a closed pipe into the small processing workshop next door.

A low rumble faintly came through—the sound of the flour mill starting up.

Soon, new data refreshed on the control panel.

【Wheat hulling and milling completed: obtained standard flour 880 catties】

"880 catties of flour!" Li Feifei looked at that number, feeling her heart pound.

This is enough for the two of them to consume for a very long time!

She seemed to already smell the aroma of freshly baked bread.

"Not just flour," Li Qingxuan pointed to another byproduct datum on the control hub, "there are also 220 catties of bran, which is high-quality feed and can also be added to food to increase fiber."

He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, looked at the excited Li Feifei beside him, his eyes full of admiration and indescribable tenderness, "Feifei, this is a miracle of your ability. Without your 'Bountiful Harvest' and 'Accelerated Growth,' we could not have obtained such rich returns in such a short time. You're truly amazing!"

Li Feifei looked back at him, her smile radiant as the brightest sunshine in the greenhouse.

She nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with joy: "Yes! We did it! Qingxuan brother, we really did it!"

She opened her arms, as if wanting to embrace this land of harvest belonging to them, to embrace this hard-won, weighty future.

The two walked to the warehouse, piles of flour bags stacked together—this tangible harvest, piled before their eyes, comforted the heart more than any grand words.

Li Feifei stepped forward, opened a bag of flour, and gently scooped up a handful with both hands.

The aroma of fresh flour rushed over her; she slightly curled her fingers, feeling its fine texture, then quietly loosened her grip and put the flour back.

The fine white flour slipped like snow dust from between her fingers, remerged with the flour pile, leaving only a thin trace of powder on her fingertips.

She lightly clapped her hands; the fine dust that rose floated in the soft light of the processing area, casting a hazy glow, and the wheat scent in the air seemed to grow a bit richer.

Li Qingxuan's gaze fell on her flour-dusted fingertips, then moved to her eyes, which were especially bright from excitement and joy, filled with pure delight and hope for the future, dispelling the gloom and fatigue of recent days.

Li Qingxuan could clearly sense her surging emotions at this moment; that weighty sense of abundance was not only a guarantee of food, but also the steadiness and peace of mind from their joint effort being rewarded.

"Really… so much." Li Feifei's voice carried a dreamlike tremor; she couldn't help reaching out again, her fingertips gently touching the neatly stacked flour bags, feeling their thick, substantial texture, "It feels like a dream. Qingxuan brother, we will surely keep getting better."

"Hmm," Li Qingxuan nodded, his voice low and firm, carrying a settled calm, "With this flour, we can eat however we want—noodles, steamed buns, stuffed buns, flatbread…"

He listed them, each word evoking the warmth of everyday life, a luxury they previously dared not even imagine.

Li Feifei laughed at the picture he painted, her eyes crinkling: "I want to eat noodles! Hot soup noodles with an egg on top and some chopped scallions!"

As she spoke, she unconsciously licked her lips, as if that imagined bowl of noodles were already before her.

"All right," Li Qingxuan said, watching her childlike gesture, the smile in his eyes deepening, "I'll make it right away! After we finish up here, we'll head to the kitchen."

He stepped forward and put several bags of flour into his backpack.

The two walked back to the edge of the wheat field, seeing the mechanical arm deep‑tilling and leveling the land, then the sown wheat seeds were lightly covered, Spirit Spring water sprayed evenly, a breeze blew over, carrying the fragrance of soil that rushed over them.

Afterwards, they picked the ripe Bodhi Fruit of the day; the fruit was round and plump, gleaming with an enticing luster in the sunlight.

Watching Li Feifei eat the five Bodhi Fruits bite by bite until they were completely finished, Li Feifei sent her personal attributes to Li Qingxuan.

【Name: Li Feifei】

Li Qingxuan lightly grasped Li Feifei's wrist, his fingertips feeling the faint coolness beneath her skin. "Your Spirit has broken through two hundred, Feifei; this Bodhi Fruit is truly something good. However, you still need to eat for another day, then you'll be able to cover the entire greenhouse." His voice was low and concerned.

Li Feifei's fingertips unconsciously rubbed Li Qingxuan's hand, the flour on them leaving a faint mark on his skin; she lifted her gaze, the soft light of the greenhouse reflected in her eyes, her smile rippling outward: "Qingxuan brother, once I can cover the whole greenhouse, I'll let you eat all the Bodhi Fruits!"

She said this, lightly tugging at Li Qingxuan's sleeve with quick steps: "Come on, let's finish up quickly—I can't wait to eat noodles, my stomach is growling."

After a burst of laughter, Li Qingxuan took her little hand and eagerly ran toward another rice field, while Li Feifei once again activated her Accelerated Growth ability.

Only to see the rice shoots quickly sprout and joint, their lush green leaves swaying in the wind, full of vitality.

When they checked the growth progress, they found there were still 280 hours until they could harvest and taste that fragrant new rice; they exchanged a smile, warm waves of joy rising in their hearts, as if they could already smell the tempting aroma of cooked rice.

The two walked toward the fortress, the air still retaining the wheat aroma, mixed with the freshness of soil.
