Chapter 10 The Master Wants to Curse
Richard was angry.
The main limitation is that adding players to the online list only works within the 100 square kilometer area of Chiffon Wasteland.
Just like in the morning.
Wade's act of collecting honey.
Black Pine Forest is not within the "Chiffon Farm" area, so it will not grant gathering skill experience.
of course.
The farm area can be expanded.
ask for money.
One hundred gold coins expand one square kilometer.
This is what angered Richard the most, because the gold coins were very valuable.
One hundred serfs could be purchased for a single gold coin, a kilogram of rye cost three copper coins, and wheat cost four copper coins.
A single iron tool, such as a hoe, could sell for anywhere from a few dozen copper coins.
These precious metals are also the main ingredients in some alchemists' recipes, and the consumption is not low.
Although the empire explicitly forbids alchemists from using currency as materials, such regulations are hardly enforceable.
Fortunately, his older brother secretly slipped him five gold coins before he left home; otherwise, he would have sold a batch of grain to make money.
...
After adding Wade's identity, Richard took out a small packet of seeds from his pocket.
Seeds: Parsnip
[Type: Vegetable]
Quantity: 169 piece
[Limited Time Only: Spring Planting]
[Cooking time: four days]
[Growth conditions: Requires daily watering; watering may be unnecessary on rainy days or when using moisture-retaining soil.]
[Description: A spring-growing tuberous plant that closely resembles a carrot; it is nutritious and has an earthy aroma.]
These were the saposhnikovia seeds that he had sifted out from the rubble after the disaster. They were the only ones that could still be planted.
Others:
134 carrot seeds.
2276 cabbage seeds.
132 garlic seeds.
There are approximately 50,000 wheat seeds.
...
There are many more vegetable seeds available on the market than just these; there are also turnips, lettuce, spinach, chickpeas, and so on.
However, if you want to grow crops with game-specific features and shorten their growth cycle, you can only grow crops that have appeared in the game, and you also have to plant them according to the season.
Like a parsnip.
It can only be planted in spring; it cannot be planted in other seasons.
in the game.
Crops that can be planted in spring include:
Cauliflower, peas, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, rhubarb, rice, garlic, coffee beans, and ancient fruits.
But in reality...
Several things, such as potatoes, coffee beans, and rice, are not yet available.
Oh...
It's not that there wasn't any, but rather that the chiffon collar hadn't been reached at this point in time.
It's not impossible to grow crops that aren't in the game, provided that the crop is entered into the system and adapted for the game.
But he didn't enter it.
because...
—Ten gold coins per record!
Tell me, is it right or wrong to swear?
...
Although most of the seeds were lost, Richard's initial plans were not significantly affected.
According to his plan before setting off, he intended to plant a batch of vegetables, and with the 1,000 kilograms of rye, that would easily last for two months.
More than twenty days later.
When summer arrives...
With tens of thousands of wheat seeds planted across the board, the food problem will naturally be solved.
Now, besides wheat seeds, there are more than two thousand other vegetable seeds, enough to quickly raise the cultivation level to Lv.10.
Once you unlock the Seed Generator, nothing else matters!
...
Thinking of this.
Richard wasted no more time, opened the system interface, and selected a slightly larger piece of land.
[Hint: Do you want to spend 1 gold and 70 silver to convert the selected 170 square meters of land into system-compatible farmland?]
【Yes】
The instant it was confirmed, a nearby patch of barren grassland began to change at an extremely rapid pace.
All the weeds retreated underground, and then square fields rose up.
Between the fields, there is a half-meter-wide passageway, which looks quite neat at a glance.
In the future, if all the fields and gardens were enclosed by low wooden fences, that would truly be beautiful.
It's also a godsend for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
But that's how it works.
It can be a bit inconvenient when Wade is harvesting and watering.
But that's not something Richard should worry about. He doesn't have to lift a finger anyway. He just wants to make the farmland look nicer so he can feel happier.
otherwise...
How can we justify the gold coins that were consumed, and the extra work points paid out!
One mu of land is approximately 666.66 square meters.
It cost 1 gold coin and 70 silver coins, but only a quarter of an acre of land could be transformed...
666!
It hurts just thinking about it, it's all money!!
[Note: Upgrade complete. Current remaining funds: 2 gold, 22 silver, 22 bronze]
...
Faced with the sudden changes in the surrounding land, Wade finally snapped out of his blissful fantasies of being a free man.
Staring wide-eyed at the more than one hundred small plots of land that had suddenly appeared before him, he was quite shocked.
"this..."
"Is this a miracle...?"
Although he knew of the existence of magic, this miraculous scene was still beyond his comprehension.
Having farmed for half his life, he knew all too well that clearing and cultivating a piece of undeveloped land required a lot of effort in the early stages.
First of all.
If conditions permit, oxen and heavy plows should be used to turn the soil; otherwise, hoes should be used to turn the soil little by little.
First, let the sunlight kill the insect eggs; second, remove the annoying grass roots; and third, break up large clods of soil and pick up the stones to loosen and aerate the soil.
Second.
Spread wheat straw on the ground and burn it once to replenish the soil with fertilizer.
At last.
Prepare the ground by plowing out long strips or large field shapes to facilitate future planting.
A complete process takes at least several days.
But...
The fields that the master created with magic have exceptionally beautiful soil!
Yes.
He couldn't think of any other adjective to praise these beautiful fields except "beautiful".
If you plant rye, the wheat ears that grow in the fall will be plump and full!
...
"Wade, plant all the seeds."
Richard handed several packets of seeds to Wade and pointed to the newly renovated nursery.
"Remember, the line spacing and the spacing between lines must be 20 centimeters apart, absolutely no deviation."
This distance is specified by the system; otherwise, the crops will not grow.
Based on this distance, only sixteen seeds can be planted in a one-square-meter field.
He calculated that all the vegetable seeds he had on hand would only require a little over 169 square meters of farmland.
...
Wade opened the bag and took a look.
Each seed was plump and of high quality, and he nodded quickly without asking any further questions.
"Yes, sir."
He walked quickly to the edge of the field.
Squat down.
Carefully poke shallow holes in the soft soil with your fingers, drop the seeds in, and gently cover them with soil.
...
With Richard's supervision, all two thousand seeds were planted.
Wade seemed a little unsatisfied.
He used to cultivate no less than thirty mu of farmland.
This field of over 100 square meters was just a warm-up for him.
"Master, it's planted!"
Stand up.
He rubbed the dirt off his fingers and said respectfully.
"Um."
Richard nodded.
"Don't forget to water it once a day."
"By the way, these seeds have all been blessed by my magic, so they mature very quickly and can be harvested in three to six days."
Wade was taken aback.
But I wasn't as shocked as I had been before.
In his view.
My master must be someone who has been blessed and protected by the Goddess of Light. Isn't it normal for him to have these abilities?
The crops can be harvested in just a few days. If it takes several months to grow them, the Chiffon Territory will be overwhelmed with food.
Is this the power of magical farming?
I can't wait!
