Game of the World Tree - Chapter 172

172. Chapter 172 Planting and Animal Husbandry

The core area of the Elf Forest is about four kilometers away from the Chosen City.

There used to be a high-quality forest here that was very suitable for use as building materials. It grew straight, had good material, and had a faint fragrance that could calm the mind.

When completing the daily task of collecting wood, if you hand in this kind of wood, Alice will give you more experience points and contribution points.

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

Over time, this place was chopped down by players…

Even on the day when Eve was resurrected, everything grew, and many saplings emerged, they were all dug up by the second test players later and used as street trees in the Chosen City…

However, although the trees were chopped down, a large open space was left here, and because it was once a forest, the soil here was extremely fertile, and it was chosen by players as a test field for cultivating crops.

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

Perhaps for ordinary humans, planting crops is a long and luck-dependent process, but for players with natural magic, everything can be accelerated.

After getting some crop seeds from the seized human caravan trucks, Xiao Xian Miao handed them over to the life-oriented players under the guild, asking them to take on related side quests and try to plant them.

When the seeds were seized, the players got three kinds of seeds in total. After identification, they were Mannia Plains Wheat, Mannia Fast-Growing Rice, and Iris Potatoes.

Plains wheat and fast-growing rice are the main agricultural products of the human society in the Segos world, with a long history of cultivation. The ones

smuggled by the smuggling caravan were identified by the elf Nightingale who had been in human society and believed that they were probably the latest crop varieties cultivated by the official magic association of the Holy Mannia Empire, which has been widely circulated in human society recently!

The third kind of Iris Potatoes is a bit like potatoes on the blue planet, but they are gray and taste sweeter than potatoes.

It is said that this is an alien crop from other planes, which was introduced into human society by the legendary wizard of the Kingdom of Aeris when the plane channel was not closed a thousand years ago.

Because this crop has a high yield, it was soon widely planted in human society and was welcomed by civilians.

However, unlike potatoes, Aeris ground potatoes must rely on seeds to reproduce.

The ground potato seeds seized by the players, according to Nightingale’s identification, should also be improved varieties of the Kingdom of Ariel!

Think about it… If it is not a good variety, how could it be valued by the Sauron caravan and smuggled?

After all, the profit of magic items is higher! Isn’t it good to smuggle magic items?

Only this kind of rare and good variety will catch the eyes of smugglers.

Of course, these things are now cheaper for players.

The Chinese players are still very interested in growing vegetables in the game.

Besides, although the Elf Forest is rich in products, they are almost all fruits and vegetables, and the staple food is indeed lacking.

The Chinese people are most unaccustomed to not having staple food to eat.

Therefore, the players have strong expectations for these seeds.

And unlike reality, there is magic here. The land of the Elf Forest is extremely fertile, and the magic power in the air is very abundant. The growth rate of plants can be greatly accelerated artificially without a long wait.

In just a few days, the players saw the results…

In fact, the results are better than the players imagined!

Now… This land has become a farmland, growing plain wheat, fast-growing rice and ground potatoes.

And because of the magic effect, some players got the feces of the black dragon Myriel, and the silver-level druid Oak Guardian Basaka assisted on the side. These crops seem to have undergone some kind of mutation…

They grow thicker and the fruits are fuller. Even the ground potatoes seem to have more tuberous roots…

After the players’ experiments, they found that through various additions, the growth rate of these crops can be increased to a very terrifying level!

The fastest fast-growing rice can mature in three days, and the latest plain wheat only takes a week…

You know, in human society, even the fastest growing fast-growing rice takes at least four months to mature!

Of course, this is because ordinary humans cannot enjoy the bonus of magic, nor do they have the fertile land and abundant magic power of the Elf Forest, let alone the feces of the black dragon…

Let alone other things, because of the revival of the World Tree, the magic power level in the core area of the Elf Forest has long been different from that of the outside world!

Under this condition, everything grows well and fast.

The current farmland is the second or third batch of crops planted by players after harvesting the first batch of crops and choosing better seeds.

After harvesting the crops, after being identified by the great druid oak guard Basaka, perhaps because of the abundant magic power of the Elf Forest and the players using the feces of the black dragon, these crops have faintly exceeded the scope of ordinary crops and have a hint of the taste of magical plants…

After eating these crops, they can even have a certain effect on absorbing magic power!

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

This makes the players sigh again that the black dragon is really a treasure!

Of course, only players have the opportunity to use the feces of the black dragon as fertilizer…

And this has further stimulated the players’ enthusiasm for experiments.

After the successful planting, the new crop seeds quickly spread among the players. Many players used their contribution points to buy some seeds from the “Cute Committee” and started experiments in their own yards…

They came up with all kinds of strange ways and began to collect all kinds of magic materials in the Elf Forest, using them as fertilizer experiments to try whether the crop mutations would be more severe…

Some people even set their sights on the World Tree and began to dig the soil around the World Tree, and were then angrily scolded by the Oak Guardian Basaka.

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

Don’t say it, there really are!

Black dragon feces can increase production and quality, and can also magic crops, while elf feces can greatly increase the growth rate of crops. In addition, the soil under some special magic plants in the Elf Forest can also make crops mutate with magical properties similar to these plants and have different tastes!

So, it is not unreasonable for some players to set their sights on the soil under the roots of the World Tree…

That’s the soil where the true gods took root! It’s called the God’s Soil!

In fact, some people secretly got some while the NPCs weren’t paying attention, and after using it, they were surprised to find that crops started to grow wildly! The effect was even better than the elves’ feces!

Then… more players began to secretly dig the soil under the World Tree while the NPCs weren’t paying attention…

This situation made Eve laugh and cry. In the end, He set up a magic barrier under Himself, making the soil immune to the players’ digging, and these weird players gave up.

The performance of the players in crop planting also satisfied the Oak Guardian Basaka.

Well… except for those who wanted to dig the soil near the roots of the World Tree…

Basaka was the NPC selected by Eve for the [Crop Planting] task, responsible for the entire process of the players’ planting.

Because of his sensitive identity, he could not join the expansion of power, so he stayed in the Elf Forest to assist the development of the elves and players and did his job as a druid.

However, Basaka’s appearance has changed compared to the beginning.

Because he was worried that his exposure would lead to the resurrection of the Mother Goddess being noticed, he prayed to Eve specifically and asked her to pass on the Transfiguration to him. Now he has transformed into a two-meter-tall bald elf…

It looks a bit scary.

However, because the Transfiguration will limit magic power, he cannot use all his strength when he transforms, so he honestly does logistics.

Basaka was very pleased with the players’ enthusiasm for planting.

Although he would also wonder why these Chosen Ones like planting like humans, after all, the native elves basically only eat fruits, and the Elf Forest is so rich in products that they can’t eat all the fruits. Even if they have eaten all the fruits, they can grow them again by casting a magic.

But at least… after having crops, the Chosen Ones hunt less frequently.

In fact, it’s not that there are fewer, but there are almost no hunting places around. Now the players have gone to farther places to hunt monsters, and he can’t see them if he stays in the core area…

The players have completed the side quest of [Crop Planting] very well.

The related processed products also quickly entered the players’ tables under the convenient magic…

and the spices collected from the human caravans also inspired the players. They began to look for similar substitutes in the Elf Forest for seasoning.

For a while, the players’ talent for cooking came out, and various dishes common in Blue Star began to appear in the world of Segus. Some vegetarian dishes even aroused the curiosity and welcome of the indigenous elves…

However, compared with the extremely smooth planting industry, the animal husbandry led by the black dragon Myriel suffered a setback.

During this period, the little black dragon led some players to toss the middle-level monsters in the Elf Forest and made a mess. Every day, they looked for monster nests and caught cubs.

Don’t say it, they really caught a lot, but there was not a single suitable one for taming.

Moreover, monsters are not like plants. Plants are more sensitive to magic power and can accelerate their growth in a high magic environment, but monsters are not so obvious… In other words, their 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 they were quickly scolded by Myriel:

“Rua——! Go to human society to catch domesticated animals? Do you think I, Myriel, am a robber-like dragon?!”

Isn’t it?

The players recalled the scene when the black dragon greedily plundered the treasures of the orcs and human caravans…

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

“But…”

Myriel changed the subject and raised his proud dragon head:

“Robbery is impossible, but Myriel thinks he can buy some from human society, but Myriel needs the permission of His Majesty the True God, and… you have to pay for it! You have to pay half of Myriel’s errand fee… No, it’s double the errand fee! Rua——!”

It emphasized the issue of money.

Buy?

The players’ eyes lit up.

This is a good idea!

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

“Buy domesticated animals?”

Eve was slightly stunned when she received the black dragon’s request.

She thought about it and agreed.

After signing the master-servant contract and becoming a believer, Myriel could no longer run away, and knowing His true identity, Myriel’s mouth became tight, so there should be no problem.

But… can it really be bought?

I’m afraid that as soon as it appears, it will be besieged by humans as a dragon, right?

Of course, Eve did not attack it, but let it go.

When the players learned that the black dragon was going to the human society to buy domesticated animals, they became excited and clamored to go together.

However, after learning the distance, they were disappointed.

The nearest human country is also 700 kilometers away from the core area of the Elf Forest, and the players’ activities are only 300 kilometers away.

“Alas… I can only wait until the map of human society is opened before exploring.”

The players were a little regretful.

Although the players expressed regret that they could not explore the human society, the underground world has already opened its door.

The fastest adventurer also went deep into the mysterious dark area through the underground cave…
