Chapter 89: Trifles (1)
Translator: 549690339
Green represented hope. When Zhao Hai and Merlin saw the green seedlings, their hearts were filled with hope. Although the green seedlings did not grow well, they represented a tenacious spirit. They could grow up tenaciously from the ground under the cover of poisonous bird droppings. This in itself was an amazing thing.
Zhao Hai and Mei Yao bent down and gently stroked a seedling. This seedling seemed to be malnourished. Even if it grew up, it would not be able to get much food. However, to be honest, Zhao Hai and the others were not lacking in food.
Zhao Hai slowly stood up and glanced at Merlin beside him. He smiled and said,”Grandma Merlin, it’s already beyond my expectations that the seedlings here can still grow. Let’s use spatial water to water them and see if it can make them grow better.”
Merlin nodded and stood up as well. He walked to Zhao Hai’s side. Zhao Hai waved the evil spirit staff in his hand and said in a low voice, ” “Water!”
He knew that the staff could use all the functions in the space, so this time, he could release the space water with only one hand.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a prompt from the space immediately sounded, ” &Quot; the portable space has detected contaminated land ahead. Do you want to improve it? ”
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he said, ” “Yes.” The realm immediately sent another notification.”Please select the number of improvements.” Then, a set of numbers appeared in front of him, from 10 to 100, followed by units of mu.
This surprised Zhao Hai. He didn’t expect the space to be able to improve so much land at once. The 100 numbers meant that he could improve up to 100 mu of land at a time, which was ten times the original amount. It seemed that this was another benefit of the space’s upgrade.
Zhao Hai immediately chose 100 mu, the biggest number. As soon as he chose, a stream of clear water rushed out of his staff. The clear water slowly flew into the sky and fell down from the space like rain. The soil in front of Zhao Hai was immediately moistened by the water, and the color of the soil changed.
Merlin had also noticed this. However, she knew that Zhao Hai’s spatial water could improve the land, so she was not too surprised. However, she found that the area of the land improvement this time seemed to be a little large, far beyond the ten acres that Zhao Hai had mentioned before.
Merlin watched in confusion as more and more of the ground was wet by the water until she could not look any further. He asked Zhao Hai, ” “Young master, what about this water?”
Zhao Hai turned to smile at Merlin. &Quot; it’s fine. After the space was upgraded, the area of the improved land has also increased. Now, we can improve 100 mu of land every day. &Quot;
Merlin’s face brightened. &Quot; that’s great. It’ll only take about ten days for the land here to be improved. Although it’s a little late now, it shouldn’t be too late. We can still plant things. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. To be honest, improving a hundred mu of land a day was a good thing for him. Everything else aside, just the land in the valley alone was enough for them to make use of.
However, Zhao Hai had already made up his mind. He still wanted to plant corn on the 1000 mu of land here. This way, he would not have to worry about the problem of feed in the ranches.
They could keep 1000 animals in their farm, but they had to consume a lot of food every day. They had a lot of food in their storage space, but it wasn’t a lot. Zhao Hai wanted to store more.
Zhao Hai still had a lot of food, so he wasn’t worried about the food problem. He would plant corn here first. When the corn was harvested, the weather would turn cold, and nothing would be planted. Next year, Zhao Hai planned to plant bamboo rice here. Bamboo rice had a high yield. After the space’s improvement, the yield would be higher. It would gradually become their main food.
Back then, green and the others bought the most food. The food in Zhao Hai’s hands was enough for them to eat for ten years. It was because of this that Zhao Hai was not in a hurry to buy food. He planned to eat all the food in his hands first before planting more. Although the food would not rot in his space, Zhao Hai still felt uncomfortable when he thought of eating the array food every day.
Moreover, this time, after they finished trading with Laura and the others, they would buy some slaves. The more people there were, the more food they would have to eat. The food in his hands could last 100 people for 10 years, but it wouldn’t work if there were too many people. Therefore, he still had to plant some food.
However, it would be a waste if the space was only used to grow food. They still needed to grow food outside, not to buy it, but to have enough food for themselves. As long as they planted bamboo rice on the 1000 mu of land here, they wouldn’t have to worry about the food problem in the future.
While they were talking, the 100 mu of land had been improved. The soil was just a little moist, so it was just right for planting. Zhao Hai’s cane had the ability of the small shovel in the interspace, so it could be used for planting. Therefore, he planted the remaining 70 mu of land with corn. Although it was a little late, it did not matter. At most, he would water them two more times in the future to make them grow faster.
Now, using a walking stick to plant corn was different from using a shovel. You could still see the shovel working. As long as Zhao Hai gave the order, the soil in front of him would automatically change into the way he wanted it to be as if someone had cast a spell on it. It was not difficult at all. In a short while, the corn was planted.
After using the water staff, he finally felt its power. He could use all the functions in the farm.
However, Zhao Hai suddenly remembered something. Everything in the boundless space was based on the game’s mana. For example, the farm had all the tools in the game. However, when he opened the farm, he did not see any tools for the farm. What was going on? Could it be that because the ranch adopted a free-range model, all the tools were canceled?
Zhao Hai wanted to go into his space to study it, but he decided not to. They had finished their business in the valley, so they should go back to the castle.
Naturally, Merlin did not know what Zhao Hai was thinking. Seeing that everything here had been settled and Zhao Hai said that he was going back to the castle, she naturally would not stop him. However, she was still prepared to go back and explain to chrysanthemum and the rest. She would ask an and the rest to build a small boat with the remaining oil fruit trees. Although Zhao Hai had already planted the land here, he would still have to take care of it in the future. She could not be the one to deliver the land every day, right? She couldn’t send so many people over, and she didn’t have that much time.
In the past, they wanted to make straw boats because they didn’t have wood and didn’t know how to build ships. Now that they had wood, they could learn how to build ships slowly. Anyway, they weren’t in a hurry. If they couldn’t do it, they could make some simple rafts first. There weren’t any wind or waves in the mountains and lakes, and rafts were enough.
When the two of them returned to the castle, the slaves had already been settled. Zhao Hai and Merlin were ready to go to Rocky Mountain. After all, their main focus was still there for a while. Although Zhao Hai and the others had returned, Zhao seventh and the others were still leading many undead creatures to pick up stones at Rocky Mountain. Even if Zhao Hai and the others were done with their transactions with Laura, they would still have to go to Rocky Mountain from time to time to pick up stones.
However, before he left, Zhao Hai left some alfalfa seeds for blockhead and the others. Alfalfa was a fertile crop. Zhao Hai planned to let blockhead and the others plant alfalfa on the mountain when they were free. The alfalfa could be used as fodder and make the land more fertile.
After settling the matters of the slaves, Zhao Hai left the rest to Zhao Zui and the others. Zhao Hai planned to leave Zhao Chong and Zhao Lu at the castle to guard it with 200 undead creatures. He would then let Zhao Zui lead the remaining three men to lead the undead creatures into the corpse swamp to capture undead creatures and magical beasts.
The rotten corpse swamp was off limits to humans, but Zhao Zui and the rest were undead creatures, so it was a good idea to let them in. Moreover, Zhao Hai’s combat ability would be enhanced if they could capture undead creatures and magical beasts, which would be very beneficial to them.
However, before they went in, Zhao Hai had given Zhao Zui and the others some instructions. They were to explore the way first. They would move around the periphery of the swamp and not go too deep. Once they noticed anything amiss, they would come out immediately.
Currently, Zhao Hai only had a few people that he could use. He did not want to suffer any losses. As Zhao Zui and the rest were undead creatures, it was inconvenient for them to show up when they were dealing with many matters. However, they were Zhao Hai’s summoned creatures, so they were of great help to him in battle. Zhao Hai did not want them to be lost in the rotten corpse swamp.
Although Zhao Zui and the others were now Zhao Hai’s summoned creatures, they still retained their intelligence. They had been wandering the continent for so many years, and they had never suffered any losses other than being defeated by the Sinya family and Zhao Hai. In terms of combat experience, Zhao Hai would never be able to catch up with them even if he tried to flatter them. However, they still listened to Zhao Hai’s words very seriously and did not say anything.
Zhao Hai was now their God. No matter what he said, they had to listen to him, not to mention that he was just saying good things. After he was done, Zhao Hai let them go.
Although Zhao Hai had released almost all the undead creatures in his Army, he didn’t release the alien. One reason was that the alien could be used as a Mount and was a spirit-type mutated undead. It was much more powerful than the ordinary undead creatures and was considered Zhao Hai’s personal bodyguard.
In addition to the aliens, Zhao Hai also kept a few humanoid undead creatures with him. These humanoid undead creatures were similar to Zhao Qian. They weren’t very powerful at first, but after being strengthened by the realm, they were now no less than Level 5 Warriors. Zhao Hai kept them as his personal guards.
