Bioluminescent Fungus.
Next day,
After a good sleep of 6hrs James woke up. His body was feeling refreshed without any fatigue and pain from yesterday's activities.
He took a piece of ordinary cloth and dipped it in the slightly cold water bucket to wipe his face and body, then gargled the mouth with water. He didn't dare to waste the water even though he had a lot of Ice.
Then he created a small fire stove in the farm soil and boiled some water for the cup noodles. He has decided to have a heavy meal in the morning to increase his daily work output.
After finishing the breakfast of two cup noodles, he stretched the body to start today's work. For today the first thing he had to do was the same as yesterday. To trade a large amount of Ice.
In the morning it was best for all the players to explore the surroundings and plunder the resources and hence James wanted to make use of this time too. With this thought, he went to the pit he has dug yesterday and started his ice mining.
He kept digging for at least 4-5 hours and then decided to take some rest. The pit has increased by more than 2meters deep. And there was also plenty of ice for trading for the time being.
With a happy smile, James put the trade options on the shelf as yesterday.
The moment it came out there was firing of comments on the chat
"The rich guy is here again."
"If you have so much Ice why don't you lend everyone a little bit."
"Hello, this is an advanced physics expert. If anyone has bought a large amount of Ice I can help you build some good things from it but I will charge accordingly. We can negotiate the price in PM."
"Hi, this is Bao Bao from the Mechanical Department of Kalyan city. I have drawn a few design drawings of refrigerators and coolers. For price we can negotiate in the PM."
"Hello, girls! This is a strong handsome guy with huge Yang energy. PM for more details."
"Upstairs, aren't you making for a one-night stand to the girls?"
"By the way did anyone of you found something odd about the place we are at?"
"Hello, this is an 18-year-old girl from the martial arts department of high school, I can help in guiding the friends who are trying to cultivate using the Yin Ice. Boys are not allowed."

James looked at the chat section and was pretty impressed by the adaptability of these guys. With his Yin Ice as the base, many people have started their own resources using the knowledge have. Though it doesn't seem to be much popular and profitable for now they can still gather some resources for the beginning stages.
After not finding any good thing in the chat he started with his further plans.
With a thought in his mind, four small bean-sized fungus seeds appeared in his hands. When he observed the seeds there was a notification from the game panel
[Bioluminescent Fungus seeds(Ordinary)
It is an ordinary type of fungus growing underground with no sunlight.]
The introduction was a bit bland without any details. This was a major drawback of the game since it won't provide much information on anything which affects its value.
But this was not a problem for James as he had the system and as he was expecting, there was another type of notification belonging to the system.
{Biolumenescent Fungus Seeds(Ordinary)
It is an ordinary type of fungus and can be found in a darker area. It is not edible for humans but can be fed to few extraordinary beasts. A single fungus seed has a growth period of 2-3 hours, when grown completely the head of the fungus will produce a certain amount of light which can illuminate an area of 2-3 meter radius in the surrounding along with producing a certain amount of heat. After completing the growth each fungus body can provide one seed every day.
Requirement: Fertile soil, high amount of water.
Note: This fungus has shown certain signs of mutation by growing two small green leaves.
Mutation
1) Moon Fungus: Increase the intensity and area of light. It also increases the heat produced. Requires: Energy Orb level 1x. (10points)
2) Mycelium Fungus: The stalk of the fungus is shortened in height with new small fungus branches growing to form a colony of fungus. If provided enough nutrient water the colony can keep increasing in size. (10points)
3) Green Fungus: Boost the mutation of the Fungus to increase the amount and size of the leaf, this will help the fungus to absorb nutrition through carbon dioxide and Nitrogen in the air while releasing a small amount of oxygen. (10points)
...........
15) Mana Fungii: Can release a very small amount of mana in the surrounding. Requires: Mana Stone 1x (100points)
.........}
The system didn't put down James's hopes and there were truly many mutation options for the Fungus. This confirmed his guess that the system can change the living things too to a certain extent.
Seeing the various amazing options James was a bit fascinated but he hurriedly dispelled the idea after seeing the requirements. He has not even heard about a few of this material not to mention wasting them on a fungus.
After thinking for a small amount of time he decided to mutate two of the 4 seeds, both the options he chose were comparatively ordinary but were also what he needed most for now. They were the Mycelium Fungus and the Green Fungus. Both of these mutations didn't require any materials but the system points. With this, his points fell from 100 to 80.
Still, he has taken a small step further in his survival. He planted the two non-mutated fungi at the center of the two farms to illuminate them, then he placed the Mycelium Fungus on the one corner of the farm while the Green to the opposite most end of the other farm. He had placed the two mutated ones so far away to avoid a shortage of soil nutrients. And then poured 2L of water from the bucket on the seeds.
It will take some time for the fungus to grow till then James decided to dig a little more ice for trading as today there seemed to be more people trading for Ice and hence the previously piled Ices had almost vanished.
