Chapter 15

Firstly, Choice 1 didn’t seem to be of much use to Shen Fei at the moment. It didn’t explain the benefits of nourishing an oasis. That’s the only flaw of the system—it liked to leave people hanging.

As for Choice 3, although he was tempted by the thought of being able to obtain a new oasis, the risk was too great and not worth it. This depended too much on one’s luck. If he failed, there would be nothing left. He did not dare to make this gambit.

From the looks of it, there was only Choice 2. Although it consumed a lot of water resources, it could expand the size of the oasis. Besides, the water resources could be replenished later on.

Shen Fei came to the edge of the oasis. Looking at the sandy environment not far away, he couldn’t help but feel for the huge difference despite the proximity.

He reached out and threw the “saxaul forest” in the air. As if it had been summoned, the tiny tree instantly rooted itself on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a large group of saxaul trees rose from the ground. Greenery spread into the distance and quickly covered the area that was originally full of yellow sand. That scene was extremely awe-inspiring.

It stunned not just Shen Fei but the people in the live stream too. Green overtook yellow swiftly, bringing with it an indescribable overflowing vitality and greenery. It could be called a miracle of life.

Even though the large expanse of saxaul forest was still too small for the entire desert, it had a huge impact on this​​ small region.

The screech of an eagle could be heard from above. The desert eagle was circling above the saxaul forest. Clearly, it had discovered the difference here too. Incredibly, it expanded dozens of times in size. One could feel the excitement and joy from its voice alone.

Rumble—rumble—

After everything was done, Shen Fei’s stomach started to rumble. Previously, he was mentally tense the entire time and always on guard, so he didn’t feel it. Now that he’s relaxed, he did feel a little hungry.

He shifted his gaze and immediately focused his attention on the saxaul tree next to him. The tender branches of the saxaul tree could be used as feed. The cistanche parasitizing the roots of the tree was a precious Chinese herb, and was even known as the “desert ginseng”.

Shen Fei walked in and took a look. Indeed, there were quite a lot of cistanches.

Monie asked, “Master, can these things be eaten?”

Thinking of the effects of cistanche, Shen Fei’s expression suddenly became a little strange. However, Monie kept looking on with big, watery eyes and continued asking, “Master, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Shen Fei coughed unnaturally, “It can be eaten.”

The people in the live stream also noticed the cistanches. Seeing Shen Fei’s strange expression, they became curious.

“Can this be eaten? Why is Shen Fei’s expression like this?”

“Of course you can eat it. Cistanche has been used in medicine for a long time. It’s sweet and temperate, salty and moist, and has the ability to nourish the yang without inducing dryness. It warms the yang in the kidney and tonifies the kidney.”

“Funny.jpg So this is the effect. I must say, I’m having dirty thoughts.”

“Hehehe, same here.”

“Cough, cough. Guys, be more serious. Other than that, cistanches can prevent tetanus. Cut them into slices and dry them, then burn them and smoke the injury site. In short, this is good stuff. Shen Fei has really made a killing this time.”

One must keep in mind that there’s a shortage of medicine in the desert. If a small wound was not treated in time, it would likely become very dangerous.

Shen Fei brought the tiny fairies and asked the desert eagle to sweep the other areas of the oasis. After a round, they picked quite a few edible fruits and fungi.

“These fruits are so strange. They are different from what we usually see.”

“You have to know that this is a desert. If these plants adapt to the environment, they will inevitably grow a little strange. Naturally, their fruits will be the same.”

“Does any of the big shots know if these fruits are poisonous or not? What if Shen Fei accidentally chose something poisonous?”

“Previous commenter, don’t worry. These are all non-poisonous. Looks like Shen Fei has some relevant knowledge.”

Since there’s no fire, Shen Fei wasn’t particular. These things can be washed and eaten directly. There’s a kind of red fruit that had a sweet and crisp taste. It tasted like an apple. He ate a few in one go.

The twin fairies were petite, and even their appetites were small. After eating one or two of them, they felt more or less satisfied. He did not need to take care of the desert eagle, it would deal with food on its own.

After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Fei opened the trade section again. Most of the notifications were about people asking for water. It’s a pity that the number of people who succeeded in trading was extremely few.

After all, everyone had limited water resources. Unlike Shen Fei, the others had yet to find an oasis.

[Shen Fei put up 10 kg of water]

[Shen Fei put up 20 kg of water]

…

At that moment, a large amount of notifications popped up in the trading area. The screen was flooded by Shen Fei. The other players in the game were all dumbfounded.

“Who is this Shen Fei? I’ve never heard of him. How does he have so much water?”

“The name of the mysterious big shot who reached the oasis first was not announced. It’s probably this Shen Fei. I’d like to hang on his coattails.”

“Big shot, do you still need followers? I can do anything as long as you give me some water.”

“Big shot, take me with you!”

All kinds of notifications appeared in the trade section. Even Shen Fei’s private chat notifications quickly reached 99+ in number.

“Mate, I’m an international superstar. Are you interested in getting to know me? Can you give me some water?”

“Top ten on the global billionaires list. As long as you give me water, I will give you 2 billion USD when we return to the real world!”

“I’m an important member of the parliament of a certain country. If you’re willing to lend a helping hand, I’ll give you unimaginable status.”

Shen Fei skimmed over them. In order to obtain water, these people all announced their backgrounds. They were either celebrities or very wealthy. In short, they were people of high standings.

“Interesting.”

Shen Fei rubbed his chin. Judging from the current situation, most of the participants were extraordinary people. Some had powerful influence, while others have powerful family backgrounds. All in all, they were all privileged people who offered extremely generous conditions.

He had yet to discover anyone else from Country Hua.

But so what if these people had extraordinary backgrounds? He was the only one with the system! This meant that he had an advantage that no one else had.

Shen Fei was very rational. He wasn’t fooled by these various conditions. Right now, the most important things were materials and blueprints, because he had decided to start developing the oasis.

After all, no one knew what the future would be like. Only by managing the present could he maintain his undefeated position in the game.

The whole time, Shen Fei remembered those words from the beginning.

The game affected the real world!

If even something like the transmigration system could exist, nothing was impossible.

Shen Fei had the faint intuition that the impact this game had on the real world was definitely extraordinary..
