77.8 per cent for option one and 22.2 per cent for option two.

……

[Option 1]

【Meek Improvement】

……

Of course, farming is meant to be planted, so how can you not farm it?

The difference is only between growing cash crops and food crops.

This time, the choice is food output.

Increase output. Productivity is the foundation of everything.

Zheng Zhuo returned to the mayor's office. He drank another pot of tea and threw the water, the white grass, and the seeds of the loofah flower into the cauldron.

After a puff of white smoke, the water and white grass disappeared, and the seeds of the loofah flower turned green.

It stands to reason that this way you can plant...... The question is how?

"Planted in the field? Will it just run away? Planted in the house and without soil......"

Zheng Zhuo looked at what he was holding, and compared it with the "Alchemy Dictionary".

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Alchemy materials: water, wooden sticks, white grass, wood glue, hard shell fragments]

[Alchemical products: filters, tea]

[Other items: a set of alchemical equipment, a short-barreled shotgun]

……

He found an item of interest.

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Stick] + [Barbed Wire] = [Simple Fence]

Previously, he found a lot of [wood glue] in the homes of the residents, and he thought that every household had some to guard against spores, and there were many [wood sticks] in the town. These are not rare objects.

As for [barbed wire]......

"I don't know if the wire fence in the middle of the town counts."

Zheng Zhuo left the house with the large scissors in the alchemy suit. When he returned again, he brought back a small piece of wire fence cut from the corner.

Just as he imagined. The fence was identified as Barbed Wire: alchemical material.

……

An hour later, Zheng Zhuo came to the edge of the field with a row of folded [simple fences].

The fields also show signs of being burned by flames. The smell of burning did not completely dissipate, and the stench of burning plants lingered in the air.

"Okay. Start. ”

Zheng Zhuo dismantled the [simple fence]. He chose a field closest to the middle of the town, inserted the pointed bottom of the [Simple Fence] into the soil, and then rammed it hard.

This is repeated eight times. The "simple fence" encloses an area of about 4 square meters in the field.

Zheng Zhuo walked into the fence. He planted the seeds of the docile and improved loofah flower into the ground and poured a whole bottle of water.

"I hope this thing is good to feed."

Zheng Zhuo said, sealing the fence.

……

The finished product obtained by alchemy must have miraculous effects. In the past two days, Zheng Zhuo only ate some biscuits (plus drank a lot of tea), but he rarely felt tired.

It was noon. Zheng Zhuo did not stop to rest, but continued to work in the fields. He carried a backpack taller than a human and walked around as he went, picking up materials left over from yesterday's burn.

He used a shovel to scoop up a lot of [plant ash] on the ground. They have been determined by [Identification] to be an alchemical material. Zheng Zhuo took a look at the "Alchemy Dictionary", which seemed to have a variety of effects such as treating injuries and improving the fertility of the land.

This also looks good. However, what Zheng Zhuo is most looking forward to is whether he can obtain the [Seed].

He wanted to expand production.

“……”

Zheng Zhuo kept shoveling up those [plant ashes]. He toiled for about another hour. However, only one desperate discovery was made: the field burned more fully because there were more vines in the field than under the small building.

Behind this gratifying effect is a brutal truth: everything is burned to ashes.

Zheng Zhuo harvested a piece of [Hard Ratchet] in the place where the [Impatiens] once was—some kind of gear-like calcareous structure. Other than that, he didn't have anything else to gain.

"It's the fields that matter. Field. ”

Zheng Zhuo said to himself.

However, if he could have fully looked at the loss, he would not have said it.

Everything was burned.

His heart still hurt a little.

Zheng Zhuo waved goodbye to the field. However, as he walked in the direction of the town, he saw green.

It's the two-story building. Vines stretched out from the windows and doorways of the small building.

"That's right."

Yesterday, when Zheng Zhuo was hiding in the small building, he was attacked by the seed of the [Impatiens]. After that, the vines that grew out of the seeds occupied the small building.

The fire did not spread here. The vines in the small building have been preserved.

"I'll see."

Zheng Zhuo approached Xiaolou. He entered through the first-floor door, grabbing the vines that had grown last night.

After a day, the vine didn't continue to grow much. It appears that as long as these plants do not touch the soil, the growth rate will be greatly reduced.

He opened [Identification].

……

[Vine]: Alchemy material

……

At least one vine factory remains here.

……

【Situation of the town】

[Town Plot]: 18 blocks

[Forest Block]: 82 blocks

[Small Town Manpower]:1

[Town Facilities]: The docile and improved loofah flower × 1 that was raised in captivity, and the small building × 1 where vines grow

……

Zheng Zhuo used large scissors to cut off some [vines] and brought them back to the mayor's office.

Labor is finally over.

He wanted a good rest......

But until then.

He briefly sorted out the situation of his holdings.

……

[Alchemy materials: water, wooden sticks, white grass, wood glue, hard-shell fragments, vines, plant ash, hard ratchets]

……

Water, sticks, grass, gum, crust shards, vines, and ash of plants, he now holds a lot of them. Water and vines are an unlimited amount of supplies. Sticks, grass and gum are available in a slightly smaller stock, but they should be found in the village if you take the time.

Zheng Zhuo burned down the fields last night. Fragments of the hard shell cannot be replenished quickly for the time being. There are still 20 pieces in stock. As long as it is used in small quantities, it is enough to last for a long time.

The same goes for plant ash. Zheng Zhuo packed them in a sack, and it was three big bags.

Finally, there is the [Hard Ratchet] dropped by the [Impatiens]......

This material is even able to withstand the heat of fire.

"What can this be used for?"

Zheng Zhuo flipped through the "Alchemy Dictionary".

He ran out of incendiary bombs. The [Luffa Flower Seed] obtained did not choose to be manic and improved. At the moment, he lacks means of attack and defense.

To continue reclaiming the plot – at least to keep the current fields, preferably to reactivate the outermost stone walls in town – he needs some new alchemy products.

It didn't take long for him to find something he cared about.

……

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Stick] + [Vine] + [Hardshell Fragment] + [Hard Ratchet] = [Weeding Saw]: Wrap the vine around the hard ratchet, and then tie the vine with hardshell fragments. Holding a handle made of a wooden stick and turning it constantly, you can cut vines, rhizomes and shrubs with hard-shell fragments.

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Plant Ash] + [Vine] + [Hard Ratchet] = [Flammable Glue Combination]: Mix wood glue and plant ash, and then use the combination of ratchet and vines to throw out these extremely sticky mixed glues. It is possible to cover a large area in a short period of time. After ignition, the area covered with this glue will be easily ignited.

[Water] + [Ash of Plants] + [Hardshell Fragments] + [Vines] + [Hardness Ratchets] = [Vocalization Device]: Hollow out the inside of the Hardshell Fragments and then glue the surface with Ash and Ash. The debris taken out, the ash and ratchets poured into it are combined to form a funnel-like structure. It will be flipped at regular intervals to make a louder sound.

……

[Weeding saw], [flammable glue combination] and [sound device].

Each one looks good.

If you choose [Weeding Saw], you can manually cut the plants near the stone wall. This method is inefficient and takes up a lot of time. But the advantage is that you can get more materials, and you can also use it as a weapon in an emergency.

If you choose the [Flammable Adhesive Combination], you can quickly burn the vegetation in the stone wall part. You can recapture 2 more plots in 1 day, and you can even burn some of the plants in the forest. However, the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of wood glue and plant ash, the harvesting of materials is very inefficient, most of the materials are burned, and there is no way to cope with a sudden enemy attack.

If you choose the [Sound Device], you can use the movement to gather the attacking strange plants together at night and control them, avoiding a sudden attack. The downside is that you'll need to find another weapon or kill item to dispose of the gathered strange plants.

So......
