Chapter 523: Dig and Dig in the Big Garden

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Great Wish Astral Realm.

Rumble!

An array collapsed and ten primordial beads fell into Wang Ye’s hands.

Bai Cong smiled and gave himself a thumbs-up for being quick-witted.

According to the rules of the second selection world, the primordial beads were only used for ranking during the settlement and could not be taken out.

That was why he told Wang Ye how to break the Spiritual Light Ten Annihilation Array, allowing him to successfully obtain the ten primordial beads at the array’s core.

Thank you.” Wang Ye sent a voice transmission.

He looked at the fragrant garden filled with heavenly treasures.

There were many spiritual plants and flowers that he had never seen before. They were swaying in the wind, and the trees were full of bright-colored fruits. They were filled with the charm of nature and the strength of life.

There was a blue fountain in the center of the garden. The clear water formed a beautiful garland around the garden, dazzling the eyes.

In the corner of the garden, there was a two-story wooden house. There was no one inside.

Wang Ye looked at Bai Cong, who grinned.

He understood.

No wonder Bai Cong knew how to break the Spiritual Light Ten Annihilation Array. So he was a hardworking gardener.

It was normal for apprentices to do odd jobs while cultivating in the Primordial Star.

What a good inside job!

Rather, it was more like inviting a wolf into the house.

Wang Ye walked to the fragrant spiritual herbs and flowers in the garden and suddenly slashed.

A beautiful pink flower instantly fell into his hand.

Bai Cong’s eyes widened, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Beep.” The right side of the world panel showed the pink flower’s value.

[3 million points.]

[Exchange.]

Pa!

Wang Ye was decisive.

His points instantly became 6 million.

Following that, he harvested another four spiritual herbs, and his points rose to

10 million.

Before Bai Cong could react, Wang Ye had already started mowing.

His devilish blade transformed into a sickle, slashing out a large area.

Wang Ye was too lazy to exchange them one by one, so he directly stored them in his internal world.

Wait! Wait!” Bai Cong hurriedly shouted, unable to think straight.

What was going on?

What’s wrong?” Wang Ye asked.

This is Startalk Garden, which I’m responsible for managing.” Bai Cong looked at the Startalk Garden that had been stripped bare and thought of the hard work he had put in for hundreds of years.

I know.” Wang Ye said.

If it wasn’t his garden, he wouldn’t have dared to make a move. Who knew if some big shot would appear and kill him with a flying sword?

Bai Cong roared in his heart. “You know, yet you still did it?!

I’ll be scolded if you do this, Brother Wang Ye.” Bai Cong smiled bitterly.

You won’t. This place isn’t real anyway.” Wang Ye looked at him. “This is the second selection world. Is Startalk Garden intact in reality?”

It seems so.” Bai Cong nodded.

What’s your mission in the second selection world?” Wang Ye asked.

“I’m responsible for bringing the participants into Great Wish Astral Realm. Bai Cong answered truthfully.

Wang Ye understood.

It was the first thing Bai Cong said to him.

To enter the Great Wish Astral Realm, one had to either give him a primordial bead or defeat him.

That’s why, in the second selection world, you don’t need to care about this Startalk Garden. Even if it’s destroyed, it has nothing to do with you,” Wang Ye said.

Bai Cong couldn’t wrap his head around it for a moment, and he frowned slightly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

On the other side, Wang Ye slashed. His attack was extremely fast, and in an instant, another large area of the garden was plucked bare.

Wait! Wait!” Bai Cong immediately shouted. His heart felt like it was being cut. “It’s not like that, Brother Wang Ye! The rules of the second selection world are that apart from the primordial beads, everything else is real! The immortal herbs, spiritual flowers, and heavenly treasures that you harvested in Startalk Garden will be taken out from Primordial Star!”

I’m finished. I’m dead this time!” Bai Cong held his head in his hands and wanted to cry.

No, you didn’t read the rules carefully. Let me ask you,” Wang Ye said. “We can’t take the primordial beads away, right?”

That’s right,” Bai Cong said.

Wouldn’t it be fine if I cleared out the treasures in Startalk Garden and exchanged them all for primordial beads?” Wang Ye said.

Bai Cong was stunned. “This…

Wang Ye smiled. “Right? I cleared out the Startalk Garden in the second selection world, not the Primordial Star in the real world. If I exchange all of the treasures for primordial beads, they won’t be counted as my gains. There’s no need for the Primordial Star to give me the real ones. In addition, in the Second Selection World, your job is not to manage Startalk Garden, so it’s none of your business.”

Bai Cong was a little confused, but it seemed to be the case.

While he was still thinking, Wang Ye had already started the third wave of harvesting.

Bai Cong’s heart ached so much, but after thinking about it carefully, Wang Ye was right. Besides, he had already harvested so much. There was nothing he could do to salvage the garden at this point.

Since he had sold the favor, he would sell it to the end!

If he was really blamed by the higher-ups, he would quit. It was just the position of an apprentice anyway.

In any case, when Brother Wang Ye entered the Primordial Star, he would introduce him to a good High Dimension Master.

Fate was greater here!

As he thought about this, Bai Cong quietly retreated and sighed.

He had raised the plants for hundreds of years, after all, so he had some feelings for them.

In the human virtual cosmic, everyone was dumbfounded.

Too, too fast!

Wang Ye swept through the garden and harvested all the heavenly resources. His points skyrocketed.

too million! 200 million! …500 million!

1 billion!

It was ridiculous.

His number of primordial beads had increased from 10 to 25!

Adding on the final 1.3 billion points that could be exchanged, his current primordial beads had reached 38.

How long had it been since the second selection world was opened?

The primordial beads of the other 59999 participants added together were not even a fraction of Wang Ye’s!

This is crazy. Is this how the second selection world works?

That’s quite normal. Wang Ye broke the garden’s protective array, so naturally, he can pick all the treasures in the garden.”

That’s true, but why didn’t the Primordial Star disciple at the side stop him?

Haha brother, this is the virtual open world! Why would an NPC care about you picking some flowers and plants?”

But I keep feeling that the NPC looks like he has nothing to live for. It’s as if there are ten thousand f*cks playing in his heart.”

Bai Cong was already numb.

He turned around and looked at the lifeless Startalk Garden, his face expressionless.

Not only were the supreme-grade Dark Scale Lotus, Jade Dragon Mulberry Tree, and the Earth Core Fruit all gone, but even the most ordinary herbs and the air-purifying tree of life were gone.

The garden looked neat and tidy, empty as ever.

?

Why was Azure Heavenly Spring he used for irrigation empty?

Wait a minute! What was Wang Ye doing?

Bai Cong’s mouth twitched as he watched Wang Ye dig up the soil in Startalk Garden.

He couldn’t bear to watch.

Digging and digging in the big garden.” Wang Ye was very enthusiastic.

He knew what was good.

The blue spring water had a much stronger life force than what was contained in the Red River Cosmic Nation’s red river’s water.

The soil in the garden was much more fertile than the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s azure mountain soil.

After this, he would use them to nurture his tree of life!

He couldn’t go back on his word, and he didn’t want Bai Cong to take the blame for him either.

Therefore, he had indeed exchanged all the heavenly and earthly treasures in Startalk Garden for primordial beads.

But it shouldn’t be a problem to take some water and soil from the garden.

Huge gains!

He had accumulated 25 primordial beads and 1.3 billion points.

too million points could be exchanged for 1 primordial bead, but there was no rush. It would be the same if he did it at the end.

“I’m done. Thank you, brother.” Wang Ye smiled and patted Bai Cong’s shoulder.

You’re welcome.” Bai Cong’s smile was uglier than his crying.

Don’t worry, my words carry weight. Wait until I enter the Primordial Star, Wang Ye said seriously. “I’ll introduce you to that senior I know. I don’t dare to promise anything else, but at least you won’t be worse than an apprentice.”

At that time, he would introduce Bai Cong to the High Dimension Master who had been rejected by No.4, and ask the latter to pull some strings with No.4’s name.

Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Wang Ye!” Bai Cong grinned from ear to ear.

He was not picky about teachers. As long as he could become a disciple, he would be satisfied, even if it was the lowest beginner disciple!

Oh right, are there any other ways to earn primordial beads in the Great Wish Astral Realm? Even the unorthodox ones are fine. Tell me about it,” Wang Ye asked. “Is there any way to deal with the realm protection array outside?”

Bai Cong:…

That was a daring thought. The array was personally set up by Lord Xing Yuan!

There are many ways to earn primordial beads, but unorthodox ones…” Bai Cong was about to say that he didn’t know any, but when he saw the barren Startalk Garden, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

There might be some. Why don’t you look for them?” Bai Cong smiled bitterly. “I’m just leading the way. I can only tell you how to earn primordial beads. I can’t help you.”

It’s okay. You’ve already helped me a lot.” Wang Ye smiled kindly. “Just say it.”

Uh…” Bai Cong had an ominous feeling.

Cosmic Transfer Area.

Whoosh!

Alight flashed.

Wen Rou’s figure appeared, bathing in a white energy halo.

Her exhausted energy and severely damaged body slowly recovered.

She looked at her hands in a daze and pursed her lips. Her eyes revealed killing intent as she clenched her fists.

She had lost to a Super Star-level disciple.

Just like her, the other party was a girl. She was a Super Star-level genius who had been recruited by the Primordial Star.

She was very strong, but Wen Ron refused to admit defeat.

Next time, she would fight again!

Where is this place? I wasn’t eliminated?” Wen Ron looked around. There were many competitors who were bathed in a white halo like the one around her, and they were also recovering.

Swoosh!

Two pairs of eyes filled with fighting spirit instantly met.

Chi Xuan, who was like a Devil God, stared at Wen Ron. His violent body was filled with origin power, and his crazy lulling intent broke through the sky.

Ahem.” A wine gourd hung from Taishu Xiaoyao’s waist. His face was full of stubble. “You two should behave yourselves. This is the Primordial Star. Finding opportunities is the most important thing. Don’t keep thinking about fighting and killing.”

It’s none of your business!” Chi Xuan’s eyes were burning with flames.

Wen Ron closed her eyes and remained silent.

If we don’t fight and kill, how are we going to earn primordial beads? Weren’t you also killed before you were teleported here?” One of the participants asked.

No, no.” Taishu Xiaoyao shook his head and took a sip of wine. “I accidentally entered a secret realm and was trapped inside. In the end, I died inexplicably.”

My experience is almost the same. I broke into a forbidden area filled with all kinds of Gu worms, and they bit me to death.”

I don’t know how I died. I was devoured as soon as I entered a pitch-black planet.”

The group of cultivators spoke one after another, recounting all kinds of death experiences.

Within the Cosmic Transfer Area, the number of people was increasing.

Suddenly–

Swoosh! A ray of light appeared.

Everyone looked at the newcomer in shock, somewhat in disbelief.

Wang Ye?

It really was Wang Ye who ranked number one!

He actually died too?
