Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1160: True Proof (36)

Delicious!

Everyone tasting the tomatoes grown by Wang Chen for the first time had the same reaction: delicious.

Utterly delectable.

But unlike others, Xie Yunyao, due to her family background, had been exposed to countless delicacies since childhood.

Rice that cost hundreds a pound, grapes that cost thousands for a single bunch, and even beef priced at tens of thousands per pound—these luxurious ingredients unimaginable to most were just everyday meals for this wealthy heiress.

Of course, Xie Yunyao had eaten tomatoes before—premium selections cultivated in the country’s most advanced greenhouses without any pesticides or fertilizers, 100% organic and eco-friendly.

However, compared to the tomato in her hand now, those felt utterly crushed!

And her sharp intuition told her that eating this tomato would be beneficial.

Unable to resist the temptation, the heiress began eating the fist-sized tomato, bite by bite, until it was completely gone.

She even licked the juice off her lips afterward.

Satisfied yet longing for more!

Her gaze returned to the basket of fruits in her arms, and Wang Chen’s figure instantly filled her mind.

The young lady froze.

A helpless groan echoed in her heart; she felt as though she might lose her mind. freёnovelkiss.com

Meanwhile, unaware of the pressure he had inadvertently brought to Xie Yunyao, Wang Chen continued basking in the sun at his door after sending her off, occasionally petting his cat.

Very leisurely.

However, his days of tranquility hadn’t lasted long before his aunt Tian Wenxiu suddenly called: "Chen, do you have any more tomatoes?"

Her tone was anxious.

"Yes, I do."

Wang Chen asked in puzzlement, "Auntie, what’s wrong?"

"Oh, don’t even mention it."

Clearly embarrassed, Tian Wenxiu had no choice but to explain in detail.

It turned out that last time, Wang Chen had given his uncle’s family several dozen pounds of tomatoes. Thinking there were too many to finish, Tian Wenxiu packed a bag to share with her parents back home.

Tian Wenxiu’s mother, elderly and suffering from neurasthenia and other aging-related ailments, typically struggled with rest, sleep, and appetite, leaving her frail and reliant on medication.

But after tasting the tomatoes sent by Tian Wenxiu, not only did her mother start eating heartily, but she also slept peacefully at night and regained some vitality.

Initially, the Tian family didn’t believe it, assuming their mother’s recovery was merely a fleeting moment.

Yet, hospital checks revealed improvement in her condition!

By this point, Tian Wenxiu’s mother had already eaten several pounds of tomatoes and greatly enjoyed them.

Everyone finally confirmed it—the tomatoes truly worked!

This led to Tian Wenxiu’s elder brother demanding that she acquire more at any cost to aid their mother’s wellness.

Unable to refuse, Tian Wenxiu came to Wang Chen for help.

Understanding the situation, Wang Chen smiled and said, "This is a good thing! I still have some here, I’ll bring them over right now."

"No need, no need."

Hurriedly, Tian Wenxiu replied, "Have your uncle come pick them up!"

After ending the conversation with his aunt, Wang Chen thoughtfully touched his chin.

The tomatoes he had ripened using the Spiritual Cultivation Array produced unexpected results—far more potent than he had initially assessed, particularly affecting older individuals.

This was becoming a bit troublesome.

Wang Chen had set up the Spirit Planting Array on his small plot of land purely for experimenting and expanding the applications of spiritual energy.

Making waves wasn’t part of the plan.

Wang Chen was well aware that things like this could easily attract unwelcome attention.

Although he didn’t fear trouble himself, he lived in modern society, carrying numerous ties and responsibilities.

Possessing great power didn’t mean he could act recklessly—that would go against the purpose of his rebirth.

After some thought, Wang Chen went to the vegetable patch and harvested all the ripe tomatoes.

He filled two large bags to the brim, handing them to Wang Zhengyang, who had driven over: "Uncle, these are all I’ve grown. With the cold weather, tomato production has dropped, so if you want more, you’ll have to wait until next year."

In truth, Wang Chen could grow as many as he wanted.

But to avoid complications, he had to handle things this way.

Wang Zhengyang, unfamiliar with farming, completely trusted Wang Chen, expressing gratitude and amazement: "This time, you’ve really saved the day."

His influence in the provincial capital, even securing a minor government position, depended heavily on the support of his in-laws.

It was a delicate situation.

Wang Chen naturally understood his uncle’s predicament, accepting the generous red envelope Wang Zhengyang insisted on giving to ease his mind.

After delivering over 100 pounds of tomatoes across two bags, the matter was temporarily settled.

Wang Chen cleared out the tomato plants in the vegetable patch, switching to growing greens and cabbages. While keeping the Spirit Planting Array active, he refrained from using its powers to hasten growth, allowing the plants to mature naturally.

He redirected his spiritual energy research focus from arrays to equipment.

To see if he could create spiritualized gear.

However, crafting spiritual energy equipment proved far more complex and challenging than arrays.

The weather grew colder as Shangma Village’s trees shed their golden leaves, marking the onset of winter.

The yellow tabby cat that had wandered into Wang Chen’s home remained glued to him ever since its rescue, sticking to him every day like glue.

Wang Chen eventually adopted the cat and named it Huahua.

He wasn’t particularly fond of cats; his reason for keeping Huahua was primarily to study the effects of spiritual energy on animals.

Though a "cat," Huahua was essentially treated as a guinea pig.

Thus, Wang Chen began using spiritual energy to temper Huahua’s body daily, observing its transformations.

As it turned out, spiritual energy produced significant effects on animals—after some time, Huahua grew into a large cat. Fluffy and seemingly chubby on the outside, it was astonishingly muscular and as strong as a wild beast.

It also developed a certain level of intelligence, fully understanding and obeying Wang Chen’s commands.

Wang Chen referred to this transformation as "Spiritualization."

Even after its spiritualization, Huahua retained its feline traits. When Wang Chen attended school at Five Middle, Huahua would not stay home obediently—it roamed the village and ventured further afield.

Soon, all the cats in Shangma Old Village were under its reign, while stray dogs that often chased cats were ruthlessly driven away—most nursing bloody wounds.

As for pests like mice, they disappeared entirely!

Huahua even developed a unique talent: diving into Flying Horse River to catch fish.

It could dive more than ten meters underwater, using its sharp claws to pull in giant carp weighing over ten pounds, dragging them ashore.

Then it would share the spoils with its followers!

Wang Chen carefully observed everything the spirit cat did.

But he did not interfere, letting it grow freely.
