Chapter 171 Crop and Animal Husbandry

The core area of the Elven Forest, about four kilometers from the Chosen City.

There used to be a high-quality forest that was perfect for building materials, long and straight, with good materials and a fragrance that calmed the mind.

When completing the daily task of collecting wood, if she turns in the wood, Alice will give more experience points and contributions.

Therefore, after the players who found it explained the location in the official website strategy post, many players who collected wood would come here to collect wood.

And over time, this place was cut bald by the players......

Even on the day when Eve recovered, everything grew, and many small saplings popped up, which were all dug up by the later second test players and used for the street trees of the Chosen City......

However, although the trees have been cut down, there is a large clearing in the area, and because it was once a forest, the soil here is extremely fertile, so it has been chosen by the players as a test field for cultivating crops.

Elves are naturally magical creatures and are the many intelligent species of druids.

Growing crops may be a long and face-to-face process for ordinary humans, but for players with nature-based magic, everything can be sped up.

After getting some crop seeds from the captured human caravan wagons, Little Xianmeow handed them over to the life players under the guild, allowing them to take on the relevant side quests and try to plant.

At the time of seizure, players were given three types of seeds, which were the Manya Plains Wheat, the Manya Rapid Rice, and the Iris Sweet Potato.

Plains wheat and fast-growing rice are the main agricultural products of human society in the world of Saighs, and have a long history of cultivation.

And the smuggling caravan smuggled by the smuggling caravan, after being identified by the elven nightingale who had been in human society, thought that it was probably the latest crop breed cultivated by the official magic association of the Holy Mania Empire, which had recently spread in human society!

The third type of Iris sweet potato is a bit like the potatoes on the Blue Star, but it is gray and has a sweeter taste than potatoes.

It is said to be an exotic crop originating from other planes, which was introduced to human society by the legendary mages of the Iris Kingdom thousands of years ago before the plane's passage was closed.

Because of the high yield of this crop, it was soon widely cultivated in human society and welcomed by the common people.

However, unlike potatoes, Iris potatoes must be reproduced from seeds.

And the sweet potato seeds captured by the players, according to Nightingale's identification, should also be improved by the Ariel Kingdom!

Think about it...... If it wasn't a good breed, how could it be valued by Sauron's caravan and smuggled?

After all, magic items are more profitable! Isn't it fragrant to smuggle magical items?

Only this rare breed will fall into the eyes of smugglers.

Of course, these things are now cheaper for players.

Growing vegetables in the game, Celestial Empire players are still very interested.

In addition, although the Elven Forest is rich in products, almost all of them are fruits and vegetables, and the staple food is indeed lacking.

The people of the Celestial Empire, the most unaccustomed thing is that there is no staple food to eat.

So, players have high expectations for these seeds.

And unlike reality, there is magic here, the land of the Elven Forest is extremely fertile, the air is full of magic, and the speed of plant growth can be artificially greatly accelerated without a long wait.

In just a few days, players are seeing the results......

In fact, the results were even better than players could have imagined!

Right now...... The land has been turned into a field of plain wheat, fast-growing rice, and sweet potatoes.

And because of the magic effect, some players have brought the dung of the black dragon Myrell, and the silver strength of the druid, the oak guard Basaka, to help, these crops seem to have undergone some kind of mutation......

They grow thicker, their fruits are fuller, and even the sweet potatoes seem to have branched out more tuberous roots......

Through the players' experiments, they found that with various bonuses, the growth rate of these crops can be increased to a terrifying level!

The fastest fast-growing rice matures in three days, while the latest, plain wheat, takes only a week......

You must know that in human society, even the fastest-growing rice takes at least four months to ripen!

Of course, this is because ordinary humans can't enjoy the bonus of magic, and they don't have the fertile land and abundant magic power of the Elven Forest, let alone the dung of the black dragon......

Not to mention anything else, because of the revival of the World Tree, the magic level of the core area of the Elven Forest is no longer at the same level as the outside world!

Under these conditions, everything grows well and grows fast.

And now the farmland is already the second or third batch of better seeds planted by the players after harvesting the first batch of crops.

After harvesting the crops, after being identified by the Grand Druid Oak Guard Basaka, perhaps because of the abundant magic power of the Elven Forest and the fact that the players used the dung of the black dragon, these crops have faintly exceeded the scope of ordinary crops and have a hint of magical plants......

After eating these crops, it can even have a certain effect on absorbing mana!

Although the effect is very weak, it is also amazing.

This made the players sigh again, the black dragon is really a treasure!

Of course, only players have this opportunity to use the black dragon's feces as fertilizer......

And this has further stimulated the enthusiasm of players for experimentation.

After successfully planting, the new crop seeds quickly spread among the players, and many players bought some seeds from the "Sprout Committee" with their contributions and experimented in their own yards......

They came up with all sorts of strange ways to collect all kinds of magic materials in the Elven Forest, and used them as fertilizer experiments, trying to see if they would make the crops mutate a little more powerful......

Even...... Someone else hit the World Tree with the idea and began to dig up the soil around the World Tree, and then was angrily reprimanded by the oak guard Basaka.

On the official website forum, the players who participated in the planting also gradually summarized different planting effects according to the progress of their own fertilizer experiments.

Not to mention, there really is!

The black dragon dung can increase the yield and quality, and can also enchant crops, while the elven dung can greatly increase the growth rate of crops, in addition, the soil under some special magic plants in the Elven Forest can also make crops mutate with similar magical characteristics to these plants, with a different taste!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for some players to hit the soil under the roots of the World Tree......

That's the ground where the true God is rooted! Abbreviated as Divine Land!

In fact, there are still people who take advantage of the NPC's inattention to sneak up on the point, and after using it, they are surprised to find that the crop is starting to grow wildly! The effect is even better than elf droppings!

Then...... More players began to secretly dig under the World Tree while the NPCs were not looking......

This situation made Eve cry and laugh, and in the end, he set up a magic barrier under him, so that the soil was immune to the players' excavation, and these strange players gave up.

The player's performance in planting crops also made the Oak Guard Basaka very satisfied.

Well...... Except for those who want to dig up the soil near the roots of the World Tree......

Basaka is the NPC of the [Crop Planting] quest selected by Eve, and is responsible for the whole process of the player's planting.

Because of his sensitive identity, he couldn't join in the expansion of his power, so he honestly stayed in the Elven Forest to assist the elves and players in the development of the elves, and did his own job as a druid.

However, Barsaka's appearance is now different from the beginning.

Fearing that his exposure would cause the revival of the Mother Goddess to be noticed, he prayed to Eve and asked to pass on his Transfiguration technique, which now takes the form of a bald elf man with a height of two meters......

It looks a little scary.

However, since Transfiguration limits his magical power, he can't use all his power when transfigurating, so he honestly does the logistics.

For the enthusiasm shown by the players, Basaka is very pleased.

Although he would also wonder why these Chosen ones like to plant like humans, after all, the native elves basically only eat fruits, and the Elven Forest is so rich that the fruits can't be eaten at all, and even if they are finished, they will grow again by applying a spell.

But at least...... With the crops, the Chosen ones hunted much less often.

In fact, it's not that there are a lot less, but there are almost no people around who can hunt, and now players have run farther away to hunt Warcraft, and he can't see it if he stays in the core area......

The side quest of [Crop Planting] has been completed by players very well.

The processed products are also quickly entered the players' tables under the magic of convenience......

The spices collected in the human caravans also inspired the players to look for similar alternatives in the Elven Forest to use as flavors.

All of a sudden, the players' talent for cooking also came out, and various common dishes of Blue Star also began to appear in the world of Saiges, and some vegetarian dishes even aroused the curiosity and welcome of the indigenous elves......

However, compared to the smooth planting industry, the livestock industry under the leadership of Black Dragon Merrell has suffered a setback.

During this time, the little black dragon took some players to toss the mid-level demonic beasts of the Elven Forest into a chicken, flying and dogs, and looked for the nests of the demonic beasts everywhere every day to catch cubs.

Not to mention, I really caught a lot, but there wasn't a single one suitable for taming.

Moreover, Warcraft is not more sensitive to magic than plants, and can accelerate growth in a high-mana environment, but Warcraft is not so obvious...... That is, the strength will be stronger.

At this time, because there was a precedent for crops, some players suggested that the little black dragon go to human society to catch some domesticated animals, but he was quickly reprimanded by Merrell:

“Rua——! To catch domesticated animals in human society? Do you think I'm a bandit-like dragon?! ”

Isn't it?

Players are reminded of the image of the Black Dragon greedily looting the treasures of the Orcs and the Human Caravans......

Of course, they can also think about it in their hearts.

"But ......"

Merrell changed his words and raised his arrogant head:

"It's impossible to rob it, but Merrell thinks that he can go to the human society to buy some back, but Merrell has to go through the permission of the True God, and ...... The money is out of your hands! And give half to Mistress Merrell...... No, it's double the cost of running errands! Rua——! ”

It highlighted the issue of money.

Buy?

The players' eyes lit up.

That's a good idea!

After looting the orc tribe and human mercenaries, players also got a lot of common currency in human society, which happened to be useless, and just used to buy domesticated animals.

"Buy domesticated animals?"

Eve, who received the black dragon's request, was slightly stunned.

She thought about it and agreed.

After signing the master-servant contract and becoming a believer again, Merrell can no longer run, and knowing his true identity, Myrell's mouth is also tight, there should be no problem.

It's just that...... Can it really be bought?

I'm afraid that as soon as it appears, it will be besieged by humans as evil dragons, right?

Eve, of course, did not hit it, but went with it.

And when they learned that the black dragon was going to human society to buy domesticated animals, the players were also excited and shouted to go together.

However, when they learned the distance, they were disappointed.

The nearest human nation is also 700 kilometers away from the core area of the Elven Forest, and the distance from the player's activities is only 300 kilometers.

"Hey...... We can only explore it later when the map of human society is opened. ”

Players have some regrets.

While players regret not being able to explore human society, the underground world has opened its doors.

And the fastest adventurous players also go deep into the mysterious dark areas through the underground caverns......
