Chapter 477: Hidden Benefits
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Xu shook her head, “I just feel sorry for my son. Everyone else only saw his glorious side. Only 1 know how hard he worked. He doesn’t even rest on weekends.”
The more she spoke, the more choked up her voice became.
Zhang Kun sighed, “Don’t be like this. The child enjoys this kind of life. Can’t you tell? He really likes to study. When have we ever forced him to study during the weekends and holidays? Wasn’t he the one who requested it every time? He was doing what he liked, and he didn’t feel tired. Don’t always be like this. You’re giving the child too much pressure.”
What Zhang Kun said made sense. Li Xu quickly took a tissue and wiped the tears from her face. She held back and said, “You’re right. I’m being a little pretentious.”
Zhang Kun reached out and wiped the tears off her face. He then said, “That’s right. If the child sees you like this, will he still be able to study well at home in the future? Once he study, your heart will ache again.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Li Xu glared at him coquettishly. “I’ve only been pretentious this once. When have you ever seen me being pretentious?”
Li Xu was 40 years old this year, but her family’s conditions were good all these years, so she did not suffer much. Moreover, she had never encountered anything bad and was always in a good mood.
Therefore, even though she was forty years old, she still had delicate skin and looked six or seven years younger than her peers.
Zhang Kun was three years younger than her, but when they went out together, everyone felt that Zhang Kun was three or four years older than Li Xu.
When she glared at him just now, she was really charming.
Zhang Kun’s heart was itching for a moment.
He held Li Xu’s hand and gently rubbed it.
Between husband and wife, sometimes one could tell what the other party was thinking with just one move.
Li Xu looked up at him in surprise and pushed him away coquettishly, “Get up,
I still have to report the good news.”
She stood up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom with a radiant face.
The moment she pushed the door open, the children stood at the door worriedly.
Seeing Li Xu come out, the mother and son stared at each other.
“Mom, are you okay?” Ji Zi’ang asked worriedly.
“What can happen to me?” Li Xu laughed. “This is a great thing. 1 can’t wait to be happy!”
As she spoke, she had already walked to the sofa and sat down. She took the phone book with one hand and dialed a number with the other, “Hello, Xiaoning. When our parents return, tell them that our son, Zixuan has been admitted to B University. I plan to hold a graduation banquet for him and everyone has to come for dinner.”
There was a phone installed in the house in the hometown now. Meng Xiaoning was the only one at home now, so she was the one who answered the phone.
At the door, Ji Zi’ang saw the smile on Li Xu’s face and rubbed the goosebumps on his body, “Indeed, changing faces is one of the unique skills of women!”
He shivered and seemed to have thought of something as he ran back into the house.
He had to work hard. With his eldest brother’s reputation, he couldn’t do too badly in the exams next year. Otherwise, his mother would feel disappointed and might teach him a lesson!
Forget it, I won’t rest for the afternoon. I’ll quickly study.
On the sofa, Li Xu had already finished talking to Meng Xiaoning and called Qin Xiaomin, “Let me tell you some good news. Our Zixuan has been admitted to B University.”
Ji Zixuan sighed and patted Ji Yuanyuan’s head, “Hurry up and go back and rest for a while. You still have classes in the afternoon!”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “All right!”
They returned to their respective rooms.
Ji Yuanyuan lay on the bed and wanted to rest for a while. However, Li Xu’s voice was too loud and she was too excited.
“Yes, our Zixuan has been admitted to B University. We just received the news today. Tell Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun to come to Zixuan’s graduation banquet when the time comes.”
Ji Yuanyuan could not fall asleep, so she closed her eyes and went into the space to hide.
Ever since she entered junior high school, Li Xu rarely came into the space.
Other than the fact she had to come in every once in a while to get the spirit spring water.
With the greenhouse at home, it was more than enough to meet the needs of the shop, so most of the land in the space was idle.
She had already stored a lot of things in her space.
Even if it was like the novels said, and the apocalypse came, they could probably last for a month or two.
Besides, she didn’t believe in the apocalypse or zombies.
There were so many vegetables planted that they could not be transported out. It was useless to store them in the space.
However, she didn’t let the space be completely idle. She opened up about an acre of land.
Half of them were planted with some precious medicinal herbs, which could be considered an investment.
For example, the older the ginseng, the more valuable it was.
Time passed quickly in the space, and a year inside was equivalent to six years outside.
The other half was planted with some fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, she would quietly take out the fruits and vegetables from the space and mix them with the fruits and vegetables bought by her family.
There were many people in the family, so they bought a lot of everything, so no one had ever discovered it.
After all, it was something that was watered with spirit spring water in the space. Eating it would definitely be beneficial.
After the space utilization rate decreased, leveling up would also be much slower.
After so many years, it had only leveled up once.
However, from the experience points, it should be able to level up again after picking this batch of strawberries.
The strawberries in the space were big and red. They had not been used with any pesticide and were all natural and harmless.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan ate as she plucked the strawberries. She had planted about a plot of land, and if she were to pluck all of them, it would be about 400 to 500 catties.
After picking a basket, Ji Yuanyuan patiently placed the strawberries neatly in the foam box beside her.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ear, [Congratulations, your land has been upgraded to Level 5.]
Ji Yuanyuan stood rooted to the ground and waited for a while, but she did not hear anything else.
The last time she leveled up, she did not receive any hidden benefits.
She thought, there would be one this time, right?
But who knew that there was still none?
“What kind of luck is this?!” she muttered in a low voice.
Her tone was a little disappointed. As she spoke, she did not forget to kick the ground. Instead of venting her anger, her feet hurt instead.
Just as she finished muttering, the mechanical female voice sounded again, [Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden benefits. Please choose one of them.]
Ding dong. A green panel popped up in front of her.
There were two options, A and B.
“If you choose this benefit, you can enter the space under any conditions and come and go as you please.” Ji Yuanyuan muttered to herself as she read the contents of option A.
After she finished reading, she blinked and was stunned for a moment.
Could she enter the space under any circumstances?
Previously, she was unable to enter the space when she was tied up. If she chose this benefit, would she be able to get rid of this restraint?
Ji Yuanyuan was a little excited but held it in and looked at the second option.
“If you choose this benefit, the time difference between the space and the outside world will be even greater.”
The time difference would be even greater?
