After Li Qing got dumped by his girlfriend, he finally understood one truth: love was less reliable than farming! So he quit his job without hesitation and returned to his hometown to inherit the three mu of poor farmland his grandfather had left him, ready to live a carefree life of picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and gazing at the Southern Mountain.
However, fate offered him a ridiculous consolation prize: in an abandoned cave behind the mountain, he found a sticky, floppy lump of “flesh lingzhi” (commonly known as tai sui). Figuring that finding it was a win, Li Qing soaked the thing in a water vat, planning to stew it in soup someday to nourish himself.
Then something unexpected happened...
• His yellow mutt, Dahuang, secretly drank the water the tai sui had soaked in. The next day, its intelligence had soared, it could understand human speech, and it had grown to the size of a Tibetan mastiff. It even learned to type with its paws and insult him as a “loser dog”!
• After the garden’s gardenia was watered with tai sui water, it shot up dozens of meters overnight, punched right through the roof, and bloomed flowers bigger than washbasins. Their fragrance carried for miles, drawing the entire village to gawk.
Li Qing realized that this tai sui water might just be a cheat code for Earth Online!
So he began conducting scientific (wildly reckless) experiments:
• He drank the tai sui water and his physique grew insanely strong, turning him from a complete weakling into a man who could bend steel bars with his bare hands.
• He used tai sui water to grow vegetables. The cabbages were bigger than trucks, and the radishes could serve as bridge piers.
• His pigs turned into prehistoric giant boars. They shook the earth when they ran and nearly gave the husky in the neighboring village a lasting psychological scar.
