Chapter 1544: Chapter 1089: This System Is Worth Befriending

Jiang Yuan laughed to the point where he couldn’t close his mouth, happy, happy! I’m so happy, hahaha!

The effort was almost zero, but the harvest was so bountiful.

This system is reliable; if there’s a wish, it actually makes it come true! Eagerly rushing to the Seashell Cave Mansion, he already had it in mind that no wish was more important than the main quest right now.

First, take advantage of the new year event to upgrade Conch Island to Level 100!

This time, he consumed twenty pieces of wood, three apples, and one serving of fried rice, with the wish slip popping up allowing free entry.

"Conch Island upgraded from Level Seven Courtyard to Level Eight Courtyard!"

Without hesitation, he entered it and clicked send, and the flower lantern was lit, rising slowly into the sky amidst cheers and exclamations. However, this time, even when the candle flame in the sky faded to near disappearance, the system was silent.

It seems this wish failed, but Jiang Yuan has now seen what the event flower lantern looks like, so he returned to the courtyard to continue searching!

Conch Island refreshed two flower lanterns, but the vast courtyard only refreshed one, hidden among the mountainous orchard trees. Still consuming minimal materials, he remained steadfast in wishing for Conch Island to upgrade to Level Eight, full of anticipation as the lantern flew skyward, yet the wish remained unfulfilled.

"No rush, this event lasts a whole day." Having leaped to Level Seven was already a great gain; one shouldn’t be too greedy.

Jiang Yuan watched wave after wave of livestock harvests, with the "Spring" character finally catching up, but the scratch card drop rate was rather low, as he hadn’t obtained a single one yet.

Clicking to return to Conch Island, he opened the farming accelerator to see if he could churn out a few more scratch cards.

Conch Island’s level had increased, but unfortunately, due to its short management time and lack of foundation, at this stage, apart from farming and livestock, which could be sped up at will, most of the workshop’s raw materials required long-term accumulation to sustain it.

Buying seeds and setting up a fully automatic plant-and-harvest system, the submarine farmlands’ crops began planting and harvesting swiftly.

[Harvest "New" character +1]

[...+1]

......

[Obtained Scratch Card +1]

"Finally got another one!" Jiang Yuan took a red card from the storage bag and immediately scratched it open.

[Randomly complete one side quest]

As electronic fireworks burst in view, he caught sight of a new message that popped up—

[Side Quest: Qing Niao]

[Task 7: Help Qing Niao’s realm advance to the Soul Emergence Realm, completed. Reward: Building Upgrade Card +5 has been sent]

[Task 8: Help Qing Niao’s realm advance to the Divine Split Realm. Reward: Resurrection Talisman +2]

Jiang Yuan: ???

Meanwhile, Qing Niao was in the courtyard adjusting the snowy scene: !!!

A mysterious force, indescribable, descended from the sky, wrapping around her, and the Spiritual Power within surged, breaking through a realm! Qing Niao was a bit dazed, realizing that not long ago, her brother had used some magical means to assist her in advancing realms without needing to undergo a Thunder Tribulation.

Calming her excitement, she looked around and didn’t see her brother’s figure, so she hurriedly took out a Communication Stone to send a message, "Thank you, brother!"

Receiving the message, Jiang Yuan realized Qing Niao was lucky, being selected by the scratch card. So he casually replied, "No need to be so polite, consider it your New Year’s gift."

"I love my brother! This New Year’s gift is simply too wonderful!" She jumped up excitedly, casually conjuring an ice mirror to examine her slightly grown form after realm advancement, her excitement beyond words.

While looking in the mirror, Qing Niao noticed a large unlit flower lantern floating on the distant water of the Turquoise Pool.

Soon after, a group message flashed through the courtyard.

She opened it to see that her brother had just sent a photo of the same type of flower lantern, instructing everyone to keep an eye out and notify him immediately upon discovery.

Isn’t that quite a coincidence?

Just after sending the message asking everyone to watch for the flower lanterns, Qing Niao found one. Jiang Yuan felt delighted, teleporting back to the courtyard and heading straight for the flower lantern in the Jasper Pool water.

Release wish, always prioritizing the upgrade of Conch Island to Level Eight.

"What a beautiful flower lantern! When the flame is lit, it even has swirling clouds!"

"The revolving lantern inside is so delicate. This flower lantern is made by Mr. Jiang, right? He’s really amazing; what can’t he do?"

"Am I the only one curious about how such a large lantern can fly?"

"Apparently, as long as the candle is lit, it can be released. Too bad there are so few of them. If hundreds or even thousands of flower lanterns were released at once, wouldn’t that be magnificent..."

......

Everyone in the courtyard was enjoying the spectacle, except for Jiang Yuan, who fervently hoped his wish would come true.

However, even as the flower lantern turned into a faint spot of light disappearing on the horizon, the system remained silent.

Should I change my wish next time? Could it be that the system thought it was too difficult to grant it? But if realizing a wish is all about probability, finally getting it to happen, yet switching to an easier one, wouldn’t that be missing a golden opportunity?

Jiang Yuan didn’t dwell too long on it, as both sides simultaneously produced another scratch card each.

[Farming Buff↑: Limited to twenty-four hours, yield increased by 20%; character probability increased by 10%; same name buffs cannot stack]

[Randomly complete one side quest]

[Side Quest: Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog]

[Task 9: Successfully refine the Divine Power bestowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog, completed. Reward: Life Origin +500 has been sent]

[Task 10: Send Ling Di into the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog’s Divine Hall to complete the final tempering. Reward: Divinity +300; Divine Bone +300]

After scratching the first card, a thumbnail buff appeared in the view interface; when scratching the second card, Ling Di, who was adjusting the ribbon arrangements on the Menghua Treasure Ship, was suddenly surrounded by several divine lights.

He could feel the uncontrollable surge of Spiritual Power within, as the remaining Divine Power of the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog vanished instantaneously, pouring entirely into his body. After a few moments, the phenomenon faded, and Old Dog realized after the fact—he had inexplicably completed refining the Divine Power!
