Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Dora carefully examined the three small plots she had planned out in her Spatial Realm with her consciousness. The buried peanut seeds, potato tubers, and planted sweet potato vine cuttings had not yet sprouted.

Then she saw the craghyena meat and hide Clive had processed today, stored in the time–stasis warehouse, and finally remembered something.

She rubbed her hands together and stared intently at the interface of the Universal Spacetime Barter System. The “Lucky Draw” icon was glowing.

“Oh, the lottery. I almost forgot,” Dora murmured excitedly. She clicked open the trading system and tried listing one whole processed craghyena, weighing over 200 pounds.

Soon, the system interface showed: [Your listed interstellar alien beast meat has been sold. 3000 points have been credited to your account balance. Additionally, you have completed the first system trading task, earning one free Lucky Draw. Good luck.]

“3000 points.” Dora’s eyes widened. She thought, I never expected alien beasts to be this valuable. These were only low–level alien beasts Clive dealt with casually. Doesn’t that mean the entire interstellar space is a treasure trove for me?‘

“We’re rich,” Dora laughed, rubbed her hands together again, and couldn’t wait to click the “Lucky Draw” button first.

Virtual prizes she couldn’t make out flickered before her eye. Soon, a clear icon appeared on the page, an image of a small spring carved from granite.

“An essence spring?” Dora held her breath. She thought, A must–have game–changer for a planting Spatial Realm? Without hesitation, she pressed the claim button with her mind.

System message: [Ding. Congratulations, user Dora. You have received an amazing grand prize: 1 basic–level essence spring. It has been automatically placed in your bound planting Spatial Realm area.]

Almost the instant the notification sounded, a pool about three feet across and a foot and a half deep appeared out of thin air in the center of the originally barren sandy ground.

Clear, faintly glowing spring water gurgled up from the middle of the pool. A rich, refreshing scent that soothed the spirit, filled the entire Spatial Realm.

“Awesome. Talk about perfect timing. This essence spring came at the right moment.” Dora was so excited that her fingers trembled slightly.

She immediately tried using her consciousness to scoop up a small handful of essence spring water and poured it beside the peanut seeds. Then a miracle happened.

The sand and soil moistened by the essence spring water darkened visibly. Where the seeds were buried, the surface gently stirred, and a tender green sprout tinged with yellow broke through the soil, full of life. Two tiny leaves unfolded and swayed slightly.

“Alive. It’s really alive. And it grew so fast.” Dora was ecstatic.

She did the same, pouring a little essence spring water onto the potato and sweet potato areas as well. Soon, sturdy young stems pushed out from the potato’s bud points, and the sweet potato vines visibly perked up, their leaves unfurling

The essence spring water could not only improve the planting success rate in barren sandy soil, but also significantly accelerate growth. Though Dora didn’t know exactly how many times faster, the effect was already nothing short of miraculous.

Chapter 24-

Cora composed herself and clicked open the Universal Spacetime Barter System again. In the “System Mall” interface, she found the supermarket shopping area. She needed to buy some fresh ingredients. The nutrient drink was way too disgusting

She browsed through the long–missed, all–natural fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, and meats from Blue Planet, and even swallowed hard.

Then Dora looked at the required points listed next to them and clicked her tongue. She had been thrilled about the 3000 points a moment ago, but now she realized 3000 points wasn’t as much as she’d thought. Dora started to budget carefully.

She thought, ‘We’re heading to the combat zone tomorrow. Tonight, we need a dinner together to boost team morale. With that thought, Dora made up her mind to first exchange for the ingredients for tonight’s meal. For the meat, she figured she could try the craghyena meat. She decided to buy some ingredients for cooking meat dishes.

She then got one bundle of green onions for 50 points, three pieces of ginger for 100 points, five heads of garlic for 80 points, and various seasonings for braised meat for 300 points.

Dora also got a small bucket of peanut oil for 500 points. Then she purchased two heads of lettuce, ten cucumbers, five potatoes, five fresh chili peppers, and four tomatoes. She clicked checkout and saw they’d cost 1300 points.

Dora clicked her tongue again. “Who set these prices? So expensive,” she muttered.

Finally, she bought a bag of pasta. A 20–pound bag of pasta cost 600 points. After buying all these, Dora checked her account balance. She had 70 points left.

She eyed the fruit section and swallowed hard. “Once I get back from the training zone, I’m definitely stocking up,” she said.

Dora placed the purchased items into her time–stasis Spatial Realm. As she looked at those crisp, fresh vegetables still carrying dew drops, a sense of happiness welled up inside her.

She clapped her hands in satisfaction and pulled her consciousness back to reality. “Tonight, I can finally enjoy a proper feast,” she said.

Dora looked over at Lioren, who was asleep beside her. Lioren seemed to sense her gaze, his ears twitching again,

‘I have to stay calm. I can’t reveal my true strength, Dora thought. This was her experience in leading a team.

She fiddled with her Optical Brain to send a notification, calling Clive and Elmer over to her tent to discuss the plan ahead.

The two came quickly to Dora’s tent, one after the other. Elmer plopped down next to Dora first. Clive picked up a small

r stool and sat across from Dora, his face expressionless.

Seeing Clive and Elmer arrive, Lioren stretched on his soft cushion, picked it up in his mouth, brought it closer, and sprawled lazily back onto it.

Dora spoke up first, “Today is our first family meeting. Based on our current situation, we need to repair our homestead to secure our future life. No objections, right?”

Clive lifted his gaze, his eyes calm, as if he’d already expected this. He nodded in agreement.

Elmer immediately straightened his back, his face lit with the excitement of finally about to do something big, and nodded repeatedly.

Lioren licked his paw, his amber eyes studying the projection with a scrutinizing look.

Satisfied with everyone’s response, Dora continued. “To repair the house, we need to get materials from the training zone.
