Chapter 15: The Jungle Plantation, a Specialty of the Two Territories
【River Fish-Man (2nd Order 1 Star) System】
[Unlock Node A-2]: Fish-Man Body (Green Skill→ Blue Skill) [Consumes 600 units of wood, 300 units of clay]

[Unlock Node D-2]: Caution (Class Trait Weakened/Enhanced) [Requires 1200 units of wood and 1200 units of fiber]
[Unlock any node to upgrade the star or level]
Hiss~
Ji Chen gasped.
Originally, he thought that his current resources were relatively redundant, and he had the confidence to unlock more nodes.
But I didn't expect that unlocking the second round of nodes would require several times more resources than the first round
In particular, the four-digit resources on Node D-2 simply blinded him.
This feeling is like confidently bringing your new two-dimensional girlfriend to a figure store and asking the clerk to bring a high-end figure, only to find that a high-end figure is priced at five figures.
Not to mention how embarrassing it is.
Suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, he looked at the four nodes and found that only C-2 had enough resources to unlock them.
The C-2 node increases the level of the Fish-Man's weapon, just like the previous change from a large bone stick to a bone spear, which increases the damage ability.
This is exactly what he wants.
Without much hesitation, his finger immediately clicked on the light curtain.
"Consume 600 units of crude iron to unlock Node C-2."
"River Fishman (2nd Order 1 Star) is advanced to River Fishman (2nd Order 3 Star)."
One node advanced to 2 stars, which is quite in line with his psychological expectations.
The bone spear in the fishman's hand has also changed.
In a burst of white light, it turned into an iron fork with three sharp iron thorns on it, which looked like a good weapon for a hedger.
Naturally, it is not a problem to deal with enemies such as clay beetles.
Turning off the class tech tree, Ji Chen's attention was attracted by the lords who returned from going out to cut wood.
He noticed the wood that the people had brought back.
One is brown, the other is purple-red, and the cutting surface has strange and exquisite patterns, and the red lines like blood are even more inexplicably beautiful.
"Where did you cut this fuchsia wood from?"
"Lord, it's all cut from the edge of the clearing, and there are such trees everywhere here."
Ji Chen asked them to put down the fuchsia wood and look at it.
【Jungle Wood (Purple Bloodwood)】
[Grade]: 4-star specialty
[Use]: make furniture, wood decorations, utensils, etc
[The precious wood loved by the nobles is to have a set of purple blood wood furniture at home as the capital to show off]
Oh, so this is a territory specialty, one of the 4-star precious jungle woods!
It's pretty good-looking.
The description in the last column reminded him of the precious wooden furniture that was so popular.
A set of precious wooden furniture often costs hundreds of thousands, and it is in short supply.
Looking around, Ji Chen became slightly excited.
The jungle around here is so dense that there are even more jungle trees like this one everywhere.
Isn't he standing next to a mountain of gold now?
It was only then that he noticed the realm buildings in the realm.
It was all made of jungle wood.
Oh my God!
To consume precious wood as an ordinary building material is simply a tyrannical thing, too extravagant!
Didn't you sleep on the mountain of gold these two days?
Ji Chen, who suddenly felt distressed, hurriedly instructed the people to separate the ordinary wood and precious jungle wood that had been cut back.
Ordinary timber is used as a basic resource, and precious timber is stored for later opportunities to be shipped out and sold to the aborigines.
In addition to the 4-star specialty precious jungle wood, the territory also has a 4-star specialty coffee bean.
After his deliberate search, he found a coffee grove with twenty-five wild coffee trees in the jungle on the western edge of the territory, and the branches were full of unripe red coffee beans.
【Specialty Coffee Tree】
[Grade]: Special
[Condition]: Immature
[Use]: to produce 4-star specialty coffee beans
[Product Effect]: Eating and quoting specialty coffee beans can greatly increase the mana recovery speed, and the upper limit of mana can be slowly increased in the long term
[Output]: 2 units/week
One coffee tree produces 2 units per week, and twenty-five is 50 units per week.
It's definitely too little for ordinary food, but it's a lot for specialty coffee beans with special effects.
What's more, Ji Chen plans to build it into a luxury brand, selling 1 unit in 1, specializing in the upper-class aristocracy and spellcaster market.
As long as the quality is good enough, plus the publicity in place.
Even a single unit can be sold for a sky-high price!
But that's not all.
You know, the unique building of the territory is the jungle plantation!
【Territory Special Buildings】
【Jungle Plantation】
[Grade]: Special
[Construction Cost]: 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone
[Area]: 50×50 (m)
[Effect]: Able to grow jungle crops and increase their yield
As long as you make good use of your jungle plantation, you can further increase the yield of your coffee trees!
Looking at the coffee tree in front of him, Ji Chen's eyes became serious.
Immediately instructed Willus to organize manpower to enclose a wooden fence around the side to prevent it from being spoiled by monsters or animals, and also forbade the people to pick and destroy it.
In addition to this, the surrounding tree vegetation has also been left intact to maintain the pristine environment of these wild coffee trees.
Once the forest is almost gone, a jungle plantation can be built and coffee trees can be planted on a large scale.
When the time comes, you will be able to sit and make money.
After dealing with these things.
Ji Chen took the fishmen and began to sweep the surrounding jungle around the territory.
Adhering to the practice of driving and killing, the wild beasts are driven out of the safe range of the territory, leaving harmless herbivores.
Now that the food in the territory has been stored to a certain extent, and a sea bass fishery that can produce food has been found steadily, it is natural that there is no need to hunt like fish.
The general meaning is to raise wild beasts and animals first, and then hunt them later when necessary.
Otherwise, it will destroy the ecological balance of the island and there will be no animals to eat in the future.
In the course of the raid, he also found some wild spices, which were also brought back to be used as seasonings.
Until nightfall.
Ji Chen returned with a small number of disobedient prey and some spices.
Amid the cheers of the people, they began to cook the food for the night.
Dinner is served with fresh insect meat and fish broth, and the original flavor of the high-quality ingredients is fully brought out with the addition of appropriate spices.
The whole clearing was filled with an extremely strong smell of meat.
As soon as he ate it, the taste of the seasoning fed back to his taste buds made him feel as if he had returned to the days before he came to the island.
