“Yes, every 4 s . h . i . + chen1 . So everyday we can harvest three times, or at least twice . Which is to say……”
Cheng Bi Yuan paused and pondered the implications deeply, “If we harvest twice a day, we can get approximately 10 chicken and 10 rabbits . We won’t eat all those ourselves . If we sell them in the market in exchange for money, that would help us out even more . ”
“Ye is right . Once we sold these chickens and rabbits, we will be able to hire a doctor to treat ye, and ye will be able to recover faster!” Mrs . Cheng looked at the man who had been bed-ridden for over half a month, she sighed deeply .
Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite aware of the dire financial situation of this family, she said gently, “I agree . Other than the vegetables and meat that we need, we should sell the rest for money . It would make it much easier to buy other goods . ”
“That’s great . The market opens in three days . We will sell our produces then!”
The three of them continue to discuss their future plans until the three young children returned home before Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mrs . Cheng left Mr . Cheng’s house to prepare lunch .
After lunch, the three young ones went off to play on their own again . Cheng Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, returned to her own quarters and entered into the dimension .
She looked at her fully grown and fully covered vegetable field and smiled . She had finally came clean to her parents . From now on, she could produce products from the dimension without having to worry about making up excuses .
She had wandered aimlessly next to the pond . Staring at the pond that’s so clear you could see straight to the bottom, she couldn’t help but to smack herself on her forehead . How could she had forgotten to raise fish? This was good stuff . Her family could feast on them, and they could be sold for money .
Without further ado, she ran into her cottage and in front of her screen . She sold all the white radishes in the warehouse and converted the proceeds into fish larva for the pond .
Looking at the in-game currency that she had just blew through a third of them, she couldn’t help but said out loud, “Wouldn’t it be so nice if I spend these in the real world?”
“Replying host: you will be able to take the in-game currency out to the real world when your dimension has reached level 50 . ”
“What?!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was genuinely surprised, “The dimension can level up?”
Naturally, she had level up her farm when she was playing the game in her past life . She just didn’t expect the dimension could level up as well . The idea of being able to raise high level animals brought sparkles into her eyes .
She swallowed hard, and asked gently, “How do I level up the dimension? What do I need to do?”
“Replying host: host can provide new products or new animals needed by the dimension in exchange for leveling up . Every time the dimension level up, there will be new facilities!”
Was that how it worked?
Add new species to the dimension?
Cheng Xiao Xiao never would have imaged it . This was quite different than the previous version that she had played with, entirely different even . But, this flexibility was only more beneficial to her .
Learning that pleasant surprises would continue to appear in the dimension had made her very happy .
She strolled through the field and the farm one last time and left after she’d confirmed that everything was in good order .
After leaving her room and notifying her parents, she left the house . She wanted to see if she could really transplant new species into the dimension .
Never mind whether she would really level up the dimension, the fact that items in the dimension and the real world could intermix was more of a pleasant surprise to her .
She picked up her pace and couldn’t control the big grin on her face .
Leaving the house, she found a small stream . She could see green moss, a small and steady stream, and her siblings playing by the stream . She stopped and watched them for a while but didn’t go any closer . What could she collect into the dimension? ___

Chapter 8 . 2Walking and pondering at the same time, she wandered further and further away from home and onto a path to the back of the mountain .
She figured any precious items would be further into the mountain, so she headed subconsciously toward the back of the mountain .
To get to the back of the mountain, she’d need to walk pa . s . s a bamboo forest . A breeze brought over a faint smell of fresh bamboo, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but looked up . An entire mountain of green bamboo, slender, tall, and elegant, wavering slightly in the wind . Their leaves vibrating rhythmically in the wind like nature’s melody .
At this moment in time, what she felt was pure exhilaration . All her worries had dissipated along with her fatigue . Inside her heart was a pure and cool world .
Bamboo could be seen all over in the countryside . Not only do they look pretty, their leaves, juice, fruits, fungus, bark, root, and shoots could all be used as herbs . Most people were aware that bamboo shoots were very edible .
She wondered if she should transplant bamboo shoots into the dimension .
Once she thought of this, she got to work right away . Couldn’t hurt, so might as well give it a try .
At a moist area, she discovered a few bamboo shoots . She didn’t have a hoe with her, so she collected a few st . u . r . dier bamboo branches and directly used them to dug out the bamboo shoots .
After lots of effort and dripping in sweat, Cheng Xiao Xiao was able to dug out two bamboo shoots and moved them into the dimension .
“Discovered new species . Dimension has reached level 2!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had just entered the dimension heard the system voice right away . She was taken aback a little . Wiping off some of her sweat on her forehead, she smiled bitterly, “Just level 2? That will take forever to get to level 50!”
“Well, guess I should be glad I leveled up at all . Look like I will have to keep looking for new species to transplant!”
She rested for a little bit, didn’t bother to go see where the bamboo shoots were placed and left the dimension . She left the bamboo forest and wanted to keep looking before it gets dark .
She started looking around the foothills!
No reason to try transplanting commonly-seen species . After all, the dimension already had a pretty large collection .
Perhaps it was too close to home, after searching for a half a day, she did not find anything worthwhile to be transplanted . She leaned against a pine tree and sighed .
Did she just wasted all that time?
It looked to be around 3 – 5 PM, she needed to head back home or it would get unsafe!
She wasn’t happy but she was about to turn around and make another trip tomorrow . After all, it would take a bit of time to get up to level 50 .
Hissssss… .
She was just about to turn around when she heard a strange noise . She had a bad feeling, it sounded like something was coming toward her .
She grew up in a village . She has instinct in these matters . She looked toward the direction where the noise came from .
Once she was able to locate the origin of the noise, she had goose b . u . mps and felt all her hairs stood on their ends .
Snake!
A snake several meters long appeared in front of her .
A banded krait (Chinese literal meaning – “golden ring snake”)!
It got it’s name from the gold-ring like scales . Top 3 snakes in China, extremely poisonous!
Why was it here?
Cheng Xiao Xiao recognized the snake . Even though it’s extremely poisonous, but it’s photo-sensitive . Normally it curls up with its head under it’s belly the day time . It has a mild temperament and slow in motion, doesn’t usually go after people . It’s only active in the night time when they hunt!
This one almost looked like it was targeting her intentionally!
