Chapter 21 Desert Oasis, 10 acres of sand date forest
After Richard set up the trade, he went straight to rest, and he didn't expect it to cause such a big discussion.
At this stage, the novice lords are undoubtedly lacking food the most.
Each lord had to raise a hundred people for a few, and three or four hundred for a few.
As soon as they opened their eyes, these residents opened their mouths to eat and drink, which made most of them difficult.
"Glorious Age" is not a modern day where you can buy a few truckloads of rice on your doorstep.
The most direct way to get food is hunting.
However, hunting is inevitably dangerous, and may even endanger lives, which is a high-risk behavior.
It's rare that 70% of people have the courage to explore this strange world in these two days.
And planting, even if it is a plant that grows once a month like the jujube forest, takes time.
As a result, most people have very little access to food, and can only barely maintain their territory.
There are a small number of people with outstanding abilities, and the food they get is not willing to sell too much.
The small part that can be taken out and sold is a drop in the bucket for the market of 20 billion lords.
There are even fewer as wealthy as Richard.
In the heated discussion of countless people, he fell asleep.
Wake up early the next morning.
After Richard finished washing, he went to the hall and after eating breakfast under the service of two very majestic cooks, he slowly opened the forum.
Two messages popped up in the private mailbox.
"Ding~ As soon as the item you want is sold, you get a 1-star resource treasure - Spring Water Fragment*1."
"Ding~ As soon as the item you want to buy is sold, you get a 1-star resource treasure - spring water*1."
After a cursory glance, Richard must have thought that the sand date forest had fallen......
Then I felt a little wrong, and I took another look.
Obtain a 1-star resource artifact, Spring Water.
There is no suffix for fragments......
"Someone directly exchanged the treasure of spring water for 500 units of food??"
Richard was happy when he reacted, this was pure surprise!
Even if it is an ordinary 1-star treasure, in Richard's opinion, it is worth at least 2,000 units of meat.
I didn't expect the other party to sell 500 units, is this a hurry to wait for the rice to be cooked?
This windfall made him think about it seriously.
"Next, maybe we can take advantage of the strong demand of other lords in the early stage and exchange prey for more good things......"
"Now that I have the treasure of the spring, there are two more fragments.
"As long as I get one more spring water fragment, I will have two spring water treasures in my hands, and the water problem of Dusk City will be solved."
This unexpected gain made Richard quite excited. After thinking about it, I asked the cook to call Karui.
It wasn't long before Karui hurried into the hall.
"Good day, my lord, what do you command?"
Richard smiled slightly, and reached out to take out two resource treasures, the sand date forest and the spring water, and explained the function.
Karui was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
"This is the legendary God-given thing?!!"
"The gods are above, you must be the son of God sent by the gods to save us!!"
"The City of Dusk will surely become the pearl of the desert under your rule!"
10 acres of sand dates, mature once a month.
This is invaluable to the City of Twilight.
As an old man who has gone through countless ups and downs, Karui has a wealth of experience.
He knew that hunting would bring good profits, but the problem was instability.
And it is fraught with danger.
In contrast, the returns from farming are extremely reliable, and even if it takes a short time to cultivate, it is well worth it.
"You personally take people to the surrounding areas to select the planting area of the sand dates."
"Remember, in the future, the city of Dusk will expand very quickly, and the area chosen cannot be too close, but also not too far away, to avoid accidents, we will not be able to deal with it in time."
Karui nodded excitedly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to come alive.
"As you wish, I'll go down and arrange it immediately!"
It didn't take long for the entire city of Dusk to boil over with the news that Karui had delivered.
The great lord, under the favor of the gods, obtained a gift from the gods - 10 acres of sand date forest.
And it's a miracle plant that matures once a month!
The news boosted the morale of the residents who had just woken up, and they rushed to help Karp choose the right location.
Thanks to the efforts of many residents, in less than an hour, five places to be selected were placed in front of Richard.
"My lord, these locations are flat, not far or close to the City of Dusk, and they are all very suitable for placing the Sand Date Forest...... It's up to you to decide. ”
Richard opened the rough map and compared it to the system map.
A moment later, pointing to one of the points on the rough map on the desktop, the lumberyard, and tapping on the index finger ~ twice.
"The sand date forest is placed here."
"It's about 1.5 kilometers away from the City of Dusk, the terrain is relatively flat, and the extremely rare desert bees are also nearby."
"Yes, sir!"
Richard stood up, "Call all the residents, and we'll go and place the date grove." ”
Karp's wrinkled face soothed a lot, like a crumpled piece of paper had been smoothed out.
"They're already waiting!"
Richard went out with Karp and found that the entire territory was there.
"Good day, lord!"
"Lord Lord......"
Seeing him appear, the residents in front of him bowed with their chests on their chests.
Richard nodded, and under the escort of the mummy and scorpion warriors, he walked straight in the direction of the lumberyard.
After the residents saw the strong scorpion warrior, there was another heated discussion, and the awe of him in their hearts rose again.
"That's the lord's newly recruited class, it's too strong......"
"The scorpion's tail is thicker than the arrows of any siege cart I've ever seen......"
“......”
In the treacherous desert, Richard is the ruler and sole ruler of the city of twilight.
The stronger he is, the safer they will undoubtedly be.
So the army in Richard's hands was strengthened, and the inhabitants were happy in their hearts.
Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the logging site.
At this time, the long-armed laborer was cutting timber, and when he saw Richard coming, he immediately worked harder, as if he usually fished and saw his boss come to inspect.
Richard ignored the guys and walked through the lumberyard to the other side.
The terrain of this area is very flat, with no obvious depressions or bulges, which is suitable for placing date forests.
And the desert bees are only 10 minutes away, so it's easy to carry them later.
"Wait here."
Richard walked a distance of several hundred meters alone.
Then he slowly stopped under the gaze of everyone, bent down and buried the sand date seeds in the yellow sand.
He took out a pot of water from the system space and poured it on the sand.
The sand was soaked with water, and immediately condensed into lumps and darkened in color.
After pouring a pot of water, Richard put the pot into the system space and turned to walk towards the residents.
But at the moment when he took his first step.
The seeds of the sand date are fast-forwarded hundreds of times faster to take root and sprout and grow green leaves.
That touch of green became the starting point of the group, and dozens of young shoots grew at the same time on the surrounding sand.
Under the shocked gaze of the residents, every step Richard took was a bud behind him.
This scene is like a miracle in myths and legends.
At this moment, he is like a god who holds the authority of life descending to the mortal world, and every step is pregnant with hope and the future.
The long yellow sand behind him was covered in verdant green.
The seedlings grew at an alarming rate, and the yellow sand on the ground slowly coalesced into lumps and turned into dirt under the action of special forces......
By the time Richard returned to the logging site, 10 acres of jujube forest were already lush and green.
The eyes of the residents looking at him were full of heat and madness.
At this moment, it was as if he was the embodiment of the gods.
Richard turned his head to look at the jujube, which had grown to half a man's height.
And it's growing at a breakneck pace.
The miracle of life in the desert.
