Chapter 24 What a huge club!
Chapter 24 What a huge club!
The next day.
Spring March 6st.
Three poles in the sun.
A rustling sound.
Richard was woken up by the noise.
I opened my sleepy eyes and found Betty getting dressed. It seemed she was about to boil water for him to wash up.
Richard scooped up Lina, who was also getting ready to get up, and pulled her into his arms like a soft human-shaped pillow, asking for a good morning kiss.
"What's the rush? It's not like knives are falling from the sky..."
"Sleep a little longer..."
Lina blushed, nodded slightly to Betty, signaling her to go out first, and then obediently snuggled back into Richard's arms, enjoying the feeling of being embraced by her lord.
I was really tired last night.
...
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Susan came to report that Captain Carl requested an audience, and Richard had no choice but to get up.
With the help of several maids, he quickly finished washing up and getting dressed.
Step out of the tent.
Along the wall, serfs were diligently building it, creating a bustling scene.
The progress is very fast.
The wall is already almost knee-high, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed in another week.
Good day, my lord.
Are you going out for sightseeing today?
Carl held up Zhang's gray tarpaulin net bag with both hands, waved it at Richard, and looked excited.
"I've made a simple fishing net. If you're going fishing, please be sure to take me with you!"
Richard was speechless.
So what if I slapped him? Why are you so vengeful?
"I'll be helping with the construction of the perimeter wall today, so I won't be leaving the camp."
"Also, if you catch all the fish in one net, what will I fish for in the future? Put the net away for me."
Carl was somewhat confused.
"But..."
"Isn't it faster to just scoop it up? Why waste time fishing?"
Richard sighed inwardly.
I really don't know how to explain the principle of "draining the pond to catch all the fish" to him.
Moreover.
The reason you can catch fish that contain life energy is because of the system's blessing, not because they are naturally present in the river.
If there isn't a single fish in the river, the system probably won't just randomly generate fish.
otherwise.
Why not just fish directly from the bucket?
"No means no."
Richard was in a hurry to check the situation in the fields and didn't want to argue with him any longer, so he waved his hand and walked towards the outside of the wall.
As we walked:
"All the fish in the Zhouxue River are for me to fish for, I'm not allowed to fish for them."
"If you have this much time, go and teach Celia."
Carl looked frustrated. He raised his hand and stretched it out towards Richard's back, wanting to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
The lord might not be so sure.
That is an inviolable ironclad rule, and no one can change it.
...
Outside the wall.
After two days, the field had changed completely. The entire outer edge was now surrounded by a thin wooden fence, which wasn't very dense but was filled with dead leaves and dry grass.
Don't think about it.
It must be Wei Deqian.
Richard could understand the other party's desire to protect Tianpu, but its ugly appearance made him feel uneasy.
never mind...
He pushed open the gate and stepped inside.
The crops planted inside were extremely thriving, and the lush greenery contrasted sharply with the yellowing wilderness outside.
Seeing these.
Richard's mood improved considerably.
Wade was squatting by the fence reinforcing the wooden branches when he saw the lord enter. He immediately dropped the straw he was holding and trotted over to greet him.
"Good day, sir!"
"Um."
Richard nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over all the fields, and asked, "How many crops have disappeared today?"
Wade's expression hardened, and he straightened his back to begin his serious report.
"Reporting to Your Excellency."
"Ten less parsnip plants, one hundred and thirty cabbage plants, eight carrot plants, and twelve garlic plants."
"But don't worry."
"The remaining crops are growing extremely well, especially the carrots, which are fully ripe. Would you like to harvest them now?"
As he spoke.
He pointed to the lush green carrot seedlings in the center of the field.
The leaves are thick and emerald green, and the roots have already pushed up the soil to form small mounds, clearly indicating that the plant is growing well.
Harvesting crops is a major event. Without the lord's permission, even if the crops rot in the ground, serfs dare not harvest them on their own.
"Let's begin."
Richard nodded, his gaze falling on the raised mounds of earth, his heart filled with anticipation.
Wade accepted the order.
He rubbed his palms against his sides, walked quickly to the carrot stalk, grabbed the base of the leaves, and pulled the whole carrot up without much effort.
The soil fell in a soft rustling sound.
The stems and fruits are plump and as thick as an arm.
Wade's eyes widened, and his jaw nearly dropped.
Oh~!
My God!
Is this a club?!
He had grown crops for half his life and had never seen a carrot that looked so exaggerated!
Even the most fertile farmland could never produce crops of this quality!
Just as he was surprised, the carrot in his hand suddenly emitted a faint silver light.
Yo!
Shipped!
A silver club!
Wade, unable to hide his excitement, presented it to Richard with both hands.
"Sir, look!"
"Silver Star Crop!"
Richard nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal him not to make a fuss, and continued picking.
In reality, attention is focused on the system prompts in one's mind.
[Hint: Wade harvested a Silver Star Carrot. Through experience sharing, you gain 8 farming experience points.]
That's really good luck.
The probability of producing high-quality crops by farming is the same as that by fishing, increasing by 5% per level.
Lv.2 is only 10%.
Moreover, farming and harvesting do not have the same doubled probability effect as "Perfect Fishing".
In this situation, being able to harvest silver star carrots first is considered a great start.
However, farming has a "multiple yield" effect, which means that you will get double the harvest when you harvest, and the probability also increases by 5% per level.
...
Wade is full of energy.
He pulled carrots from the soil one by one; the ordinary ones were plump and orange-red, while the silver ones were particularly eye-catching.
He became more and more excited as he collected samples, and Richard's system notifications kept popping up everywhere.
finally.
A total of 112 ordinary quality carrots and 18 silver-star carrots were harvested.
Wade looked at the pile of silver star carrots that resembled a heap of silver ingots, and his breathing became a little rapid.
This tiny field can actually produce so much life-sustaining food.
If it were in Wolfrun Territory, one would certainly receive a commendation and audience from Earl Wolfrun, and be given a generous reward.
But he knew it too.
All of this was caused by the magic cast by his master, and had little to do with him.
To be able to participate in it.
It is already a great honor.
...
Richard had anticipated the output, so he wasn't as boastful as Wade.
After harvesting over a hundred crops, my farming skill successfully leveled up to Lv.3.
He checked the recipes that the system unlocked after his farming skill reached Lv.3.
The first one is a mayonnaise maker that can make mayonnaise using poultry eggs.
The second is the honeycomb, which can produce a bottle of honey every four days.
The third is fertilizer [growth hormone], which can accelerate crop growth by 10%.
The last one is a delicious recipe: Farmer's Lunch.
Similar to the fishing skill, these items cannot be crafted yet and require various metal ingots or materials produced by the gathering skill.
Actually, all five skills are easy to upgrade. Once the cabbage matures, the farming skill can be upgraded to the maximum level, which is difficult because it requires various materials for the recipe.
Richard opened the system panel.
Focus your attention on the MOD list.
