Chapter 55, Map 2
Chapter 55, Map 2
The weather finally cooled down a bit today, but Xia Shiyu looked at the gloomy sky and wondered if it might rain again later.
So today we won't dry the grain, and Xia Shiyu won't let his parents go out to sell vegetables either. If they don't go today, they can go tomorrow. They can do other things at home anyway.
Alternatively, it would be nice for the whole family to gather around and watch TV, but Xia Shiyu really had something to do, so she told her parents.
"Mom and Dad, please wait downstairs. Don't call me unless it's urgent. I have something important to do in my room."
"Okay, go ahead."
Upon hearing the response, Xia Shiyu turned and left. After entering her room and closing the door, she eagerly immersed herself in the fairytale world.
Today is the eighth day, and she can finally enter the second map of the fairy tale world. How can she not be excited?
Xia Shiyu opened her eyes with excitement and arrived at her thatched hut in the blink of an eye.
She excitedly opened the system panel, where a second icon appeared next to the original first map, Animal Town.
[The second map quest completion is complete. Click to proceed.]
Xia Shiyu immediately clicked to confirm, and the system notification sounded.
[Ding, entering the second map, Giant Farm. Please enter the circle of light in front of you. Also, please note that the time ratio between the second map and reality is 2:1.]
A pale blue halo appeared in front of them, just big enough for one person to pass through.
After the aperture was fully formed, Xia Shiyu and the others stepped inside.
After entering the aperture, Xia Shiyu first walked through a tunnel with light blue lights. The tunnel was not long, and she reached the end after walking for about ten seconds.
Xia Shiyu walked out of the finish line and instantly arrived at the second map—Giant Farm.
Xia Shiyu composed herself and looked up, instantly stunned by the breathtaking beauty of the world before her.
When she heard the map name during the teleportation, she was already mentally prepared. This time, the owner of the map must be a giant, and she had arrived at his farm.
She thought he might see tall giants, but she never imagined she would see equally tall fruits and vegetables.
Yes, although it is called a farm, it is more appropriate to call it an orchard, because there are many tall fruit trees inside.
Fruit trees, often ten stories high, bear equally conspicuous and enormous fruit.
There were bananas that stood taller than her, apples that she couldn't wrap her arms around, and plums that were bigger than her head.
Not only on the trees, but also on the ground, you can see fruit. Among the green vines, there are watermelons with conspicuous wavy skins, some as big as a car!
The vines are laden with bunches of grapes, each one bigger than a fist.
Various fruits and vegetables, disregarding the different seasons and climates, grow together on this mysterious farm. The dark brown trees are laden with large fruits, brewing a sweet aroma. The colors of the various fruits create a beautiful pastoral landscape.
Xia Shiyu felt as if she had arrived in a primeval forest, not a farm, except that there were no dangerous and strange plants and animals here, only strings of delicious food hanging high in the sky.
Xia Shiyu was overwhelmed by the sights, feeling as if she had become an ant and entered a dreamlike food kingdom, where every scene was breathtaking.
Xia Shiyu was so immersed in the wonderful atmosphere that it took her a while to remember that she still had a task to complete.
Looking at the large fruits in front of her, she had already decided that this time she would harvest either the fruit trees or the seeds.
This time was different from the last; after she decided to choose fruit trees, only one pop-up window appeared.
[Find the farmer "Giant" and explain your purpose to her.]
Xia Shiyu took a look and realized that the first thing she needed to do was find the giant rancher and communicate with him face-to-face before she could proceed with the next task.
Xia Shiyu nodded. It seemed that the system wouldn't have much room to maneuver this time and would instead let her negotiate with the master herself.
She looked around; her most important task at the moment was to find the giant.
The place was so big that even a single leaf could block her view. She wandered around for a bit and finally spotted a large house with a red roof, which stood out quite a bit in the surroundings.
Xia Shiyu just needs to get there.
Even so, the road was difficult to walk on. This farm must have been designed for giants, and the distance to get there was not short, not to mention the many large plants blocking the way.
Xia Shiyu had no other choice but to move forward slowly.
She occasionally encountered a clump of weeds and had to swim across it like she was swimming. Luckily, there weren't many animals around, otherwise she wouldn't be able to handle even a single insect.
She moved forward slowly, passing through weeds and arriving at the watermelon patch she had just seen.
Xia Shiyu grabbed the vine and slowly climbed up it step by step.
Even if she stepped on a watermelon during the process, it wasn't a problem; her weight couldn't cause any damage to the watermelon.
She slowly climbed over the watermelon patch, through the grape trellis, and sat on the leaf slide, finally reaching the vicinity of the red house.
When she got there, she hesitated because she found that there were three steps in front of the house and the door was too high. She thought that if she knocked, the people inside might not hear her.
After observing for a while, she finally noticed an open window around the house, which might be more convenient to enter directly through.
There happened to be a fruit tree next to the window, but it was quite tall, which gave her a headache. She could only grab onto the trees with vines falling from them and slowly climb up to the branches before jumping over.
However, this whole process was very tiring for her. After climbing for a long time without reaching the top, she had to stop and rest.
Having finally climbed up, I was wondering how to get across properly when I saw a figure emerge from beside the window.
She was a giant dressed in farm clothes, and she came into the room as if searching for something.
Xia Shiyu's spirits lifted; it would be much more convenient if the giant could see her directly.
So she stood up and looked around at the trees, and realized that she was standing on a citrus tree, but the citrus fruits were not that big.
She could only apologetically pick up a small tangerine, rip it off, aim it, and throw it forcefully toward the window.
The citrus fruit flew out in an arc, but unfortunately it only landed on the windowsill before falling down.
The citrus fruit was smashed, and the orange pulp spilled out of the peel and fell to the ground.
Xia Shiyu was somewhat frustrated. Did he really have to find a way to get through this on his own?
Just as she resigned herself to her fate and was about to grab the vine and jump over it, she suddenly heard a noise.
A large hand reached out towards her.
Xia Shiyu looked up and saw the giant's enormous face in front of her. At that moment, the giant smiled and leaned out of the window, trying to catch her with her hand.
Xia Shiyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly climbed onto the large hand.
The large hand quickly and smoothly returned to the window.
