"This is mist?"
Lin Feng stepped into the Mist Forest.
The forest was just forming; a faint mist began appearing inside.
Very thin!
But authentic mist!
It was noon.
The sun was strong.
Yet the mist did not dissipate!
Morning mist in forests was common due to humidity but was gone with sunlight.
This mist, born from Mist Trees, persisted despite the sun.
No matter how much the sun shone, as long as the Mist Forest remained, the mist would not disappear.
This mist caused confusing effects.
"The mist must thicken before Mist Female demons appear, right?"
Lin Feng thought.
There was some mist now, but the density needed to increase for Mist Female demons to be born.
At the current pace, this would not take long.
The mist was already a layer thick; in days, it would grow denser.
It was day seventeen now.
Mist Female demons would appear between days 20 and 25.
Lin Feng was excited.
"Master, I can level up."
On the second day, Miao Miao approached Lin Feng.
"Miao Miao, you can level up?"
Lin Feng was surprised.
Miao Miao had been born less than a week ago.
Her leveling needed earth elemental energy!
Miao Miao nodded: "Yes, Master, I absorbed a lot of earth elemental energy these days but still need the Life Tree's life energy."
Lin Feng understood.
He had a misconception.
Previously, he thought Miao Miao's leveling required the Life Tree to absorb earth elemental energy over time.
But Elemental Spirits were independent; they could absorb elemental energy themselves.
Miao Miao had been helping sow seeds and interacting with the soil, absorbing a lot of earth elemental energy.
Combined with the Life Tree's energy, she leveled so quickly.
But earth energy alone was insufficient; she needed the Life Tree's life energy, which required Lin Feng's permission—hence she came.
"Good, Miao Miao, you will level up tonight."
Miao Miao was useful even at Level 1; Level 2 would be better.
Lin Feng let Miao Miao enter the Life Tree and spent 200 life energy points to level her up.
"Boom~"
At night, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The second rain in the Floating Island World was coming!
And it was a thunderstorm!
"Ha ha, finally rain! My Floating Island is running out of water."
"Don't rain too hard, or my crops will be washed away."
"Why worry? You can't stop the monster wave in days anyway, just enjoy the one-month tour."
"....."
Chat rooms became lively.
Many hardworking new Floating Island Lords were still sowing at night.
Now with rain, they couldn't sow and chatted indoors.
"In two days, the first harvest sale will be exciting."
"Su Hongxuan from Class 3 started mass selling Fruit days ago. He invested tens of millions early, used many C-tier seeds, aiming to be the Newcomer King."
"Newcomer King? Him? I know several who invested over a hundred million in the first month."
"Our Lin Feng started selling Fruit a week ago. Can he become Newcomer King?"
"I doubt it. Lin Feng's situation is unclear; many powerful family heirs and top students have secured consortium investments. It's a fierce battle."
"....."
Lin Feng's class group was lively too.
Many discussed the upcoming harvest sale and the Newcomer King contest.
The Newcomer King was a ranking held after the first monster wave eliminated most new Floating Island Lords.
The winner gained an early Floating Island expansion and shorter cooldowns on a special defense mechanism.
This defense prevented monsters from landing directly from the sky, forcing ground attacks only.
This mechanism was vital against monster waves.
Many powerful family heirs invested tens or hundreds of millions initially for this.
If only to defend monsters, such a huge investment seemed excessive.
Most funds went to paying workers; hiring workers was costly.
For newcomers, daily worker pay was at least 800.
Hiring 1000 workers on day one meant over 800,000 daily labor cost.
Lin Feng hadn't hired workers, but his Elemental Spirits were equivalent to hundreds of workers.
With leveling, their effect would increase.
Lin Feng did not join discussions; his attention returned to the Life Tree canopy.
There, lightning struck intermittently.
Lan Sha had become lightning, absorbing thunder energy.
Bai Ling was out using this thunderstorm to level up!
