Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 289 - 281: Seeing the Sparkle Again!

After eating two himself, Han Qiwu specially fed one to Little Shui.

"Eeeng eeeng eeeng."

Trying this soft-centered egg for the first time, Little Shui joyfully hugged Han Qiwu’s calf and cheerfully exclaimed.

What about the Little Prince and Little Electric?

They didn’t get any. freewёbnoνel-com

This was a treat just for Little Shui.

If everyone got some, would it still count as a special treat?

"There’s nothing like eggs from your own farm. Maybe next time we can invite Mr. Tang over to enjoy the hot springs together." Han Qiwu gleefully sauntered toward the storage box, ready to craft the beehive first.

Originally, he had planned to work on the small fish pond but realized it wasn’t the right timing yet—it would have to wait until later in the afternoon.

After using up one bottle of rapeseed honey and some materials, a brand-new beehive appeared in the storage grid.

Maybe I should bring the Little Prince along to collect honey?

After thinking it over, Han Qiwu decided against it.

If the Little Prince found out where the bees were, he’d definitely sneak off daily to steal their honey!

That wouldn’t do.

Better take Little Electric instead, and let it stretch its wings outside.

Han Qiwu grabbed the lounging, drama-watching Little Electric, donned his bee protection suit, and pedaled his bike toward the giant beehive he’d spotted earlier.

As he was riding, he suddenly noticed another flashing spot on the map.

This glowing spot looked a lot like the one he’d seen last time when encountering honeybees, only the color was red.

Han Qiwu’s spirits lifted—today’s life tips on television had mentioned searching for colors.

Wouldn’t you know it!

Let’s go check it out!

Who knows, maybe it’s something good again?

Following the location of the flashing spot, Han Qiwu arrived at the foot of the northern mountains near the town.

Judging by the terrain around him, the glowing spot seemed to be up on the mountain.

Han Qiwu parked his bike, swapped out his flip-flops for sturdier footwear, donned a straw hat, and cautiously approached the location of the red glimmer.

"Chasing the light of dreams gives me courage to face danger,"

Han Qiwu hummed a tune as he walked through the grove and began climbing the mountain.

In the air above, Little Electric flipped and dived, constantly engaging tree branches in playful duels.

Every time it got smacked by a branch, it muttered indignantly.

"If only my owner let me use electricity, I’d zap you to bits!"

After about an hour of hiking, Han Qiwu finally reached midway up the mountain.

The peak seemed to be over a thousand meters high, and climbing it was exhausting.

Stretching upright, Han Qiwu checked the map again and calculated that the red glow’s location appeared to be near the cliff edge ahead.

"What kind of treasure could be near the cliff edge?" Han Qiwu wondered aloud as he inched closer, leaning out to peer down below.

With the foliage no longer obstructing his view, he finally saw what the red glimmer represented.

A cliff bee hive!

Just like the previous glowing spot, this one signified bees—or specifically the so-called Cliff Bees.

The scientific name of Cliff Bees is the "Black Giant Honeybee," and their honey, known as "Cliff Honey," is highly nutritious and rich in various herbal properties.

Judging by the appearance of their hive, these Cliff Bees hadn’t been here long, as the number of scattered worker bees wasn’t considerable yet.

Looking over the cliff’s conditions, Han Qiwu hesitated.

How was he supposed to get down there?

Sigh, Little Electric just isn’t growing fast enough.

When will it be like Yang Guo’s Brother Eagle, capable of carrying him down the cliff effortlessly?

After checking out his surroundings, Han Qiwu carefully weighed his options and decided to give it a shot. He pulled out a rope, tied one end around his waist, the other to a tree trunk, and began inching his way down the cliffside.

After descending a few steps, Han Qiwu called out to the sky, "Little Electric, if I fall off, go back home and get the Little Prince to come retrieve me, alright?"

Little Electric flapped its wings and nodded obediently.

Of course, Han Qiwu was just teasing—it was a precaution. His upgraded combat agility from the night before greatly increased his dexterity, so this small cliff shouldn’t be a problem.

Swish, swish, swish.

With jumps and climbs, Han Qiwu reached the vicinity of the Cliff Bee hive.

"Buzzz buzzzz buzzzz buzzzz."

As he got closer, the Black Giant Honeybees swarmed him, densely covering his protective mask.

Good thing he had his bee suit.

Following his earlier observations, Han Qiwu reached out and carefully felt along the hive, swiftly retrieving it into his storage compartment.

After harvesting the honey, he pulled out the beehive he had crafted earlier and clicked "Move In" near the hovering Cliff Bees.

In an instant, nearly half the Cliff Bees around him were gone.

[Beehive]

[Special Farm Structure: Cliff Bees have moved in and can be placed]

[Effect: Generates Cliff Honey every five days; generation time decreases when five or more herbal plants are nearby]

[Note: Cliff Bees will forage outside the yard]

Seeing that both honey and bees were now secured, Han Qiwu didn’t linger. He tugged on the rope and began climbing back up.

Going down was easy—climbing back up was hard.

If it weren’t for Han Qiwu’s improved strength and agility, he might not have made it back up.

"Never thought I’d get to experience extreme sports today,"

he said as he hauled himself over the edge fifteen minutes later, flinging his legs onto solid ground. Leaning against a large rock, he gasped for breath.

Rock climbing really was exhausting.

Little Electric, fluttering above him, promptly landed and mimicked Han Qiwu’s overdramatic deep breaths.

That honey sure smelled amazing!

"Look at me, Master—I’m exhausted too!"

Han Qiwu ignored it and opened his storage grid to check his haul.

[Medium Wild Cliff Honey (Gold-Star Quality)]

[Stamina +500]

[Health +900]

[Special Effect - Nurture: Cliff Honey promotes bee growth and reproduction]

[Note: Rare Cliff Honey is a reward for the brave!]

Gold-star quality!

This was worth it, totally worth it!

Han Qiwu found a spoon, scooped out a bit, and tasted it slowly.

The Cliff Honey shone a rich golden yellow, with specks of herbal flowers and pollen mixed throughout, making it look rather unique.

Upon eating it, the texture was silky smooth, with an intense sweetness tinged with subtle fruit tartness—a truly delightful flavor.

"This Cliff Honey seems best enjoyed paired with other snacks," Han Qiwu mused, deciding to research other ways to eat it back home.

Even though it was just a medium-sized portion, he was already quite content.

Take it slow.

Savor the rewards bit by bit.

Based on Cliff Honey’s special effect, bringing it back could also boost the bees’ reproduction—a win-win!

"Buzz buzz!"

Seeing its master stash away the fragrant honey, Little Electric got anxious and began calling out.

"You want to try some too?"

Little Electric eagerly nodded.

"But you didn’t really do much to help..." Han Qiwu feigned hesitation, then suggested, "How about this? Later, come with me to the mine, and depending on your performance, I’ll decide whether or not you deserve some Cliff Honey."

Little Electric thought it over and nodded, apparently finding this proposal fair.

It was confident that with its effort, it could earn a share of the honey!

Han Qiwu chuckled, then hopped on his bike, heading home to place the new beehive.

Once home, Han Qiwu considered the Cliff Bees’ natural foraging habits and intentionally placed the hive in the plot closest to the entrance. After positioning it securely, he even added a bit of Cliff Honey to both his hives.
