Green represented hope. When Zhao Hai and Merine saw the green sprouts, their hearts were filled with hope. Although the green sprouts weren't growing well, they represented a tenacious spirit. They were able to grow under the cover of poisonous bird droppings. This in itself was a very remarkable thing.
Zhao Hai and Merine bent down and gently stroked the sprouts. These sprouts were really malnourished. Even if they grew up, they wouldn't be able to produce much food. But to be honest, Zhao Hai and the others didn't lack food right now.
Zhao slowly stood up and looked at Meirin with a smile. "Grandma Meirin, it's already beyond my expectations that the seedlings can still grow. Now let's use the spatial water to water them and see if they can grow a little better." Meirin nodded. Meirin nodded. Meirin nodded.
Merine nodded and also stood up. Then she walked to Zhao Hai's side. Zhao Hai waved the Ghost Cane in his hand and shouted, "Water!"
He knew that the Ghost Cane can use all the functions of the Space. Therefore, this time, he only needed to use the Ghost Cane to release the Spatial Water.
Sure enough, just as his voice fell, the Space immediately issued a prompt, "The portable device space has detected contaminated land ahead. Do you wish to improve it?"
Zhao Hai stared blankly for a moment, then he said, "Yes." The Space immediately issued another prompt, "Please select the quantity to improve." Then a screen appeared in front of him. On top of it was a row of numbers, from ten to one hundred. The units behind were all mu.
This made Zhao Hai stare. He didn't think that the Space could improve so much land at once. The number of 100 meant that he could improve up to one hundred mu, which was ten times more than before. It seems like this was the benefit of the Space's upgrade.
Zhao Hai immediately chose one hundred mu, which was the largest number. Just as he finished choosing, a stream of clear water rushed out from his cane. This stream of clear water slowly flew to the sky and then fell from the Space like raindrops. The land in front of Zhao Hai was immediately moistened by the water. At the same time, the land also changed color.
Merine also noticed this. She already knew that Zhao Hai's Spatial Water could improve land, so she wasn't too surprised. However, she discovered that the area of land improved by the Space was a bit large. It greatly exceeded the ten mu that Zhao Hai mentioned before.
Merine was puzzled as she watched more and more land get wet. When she couldn't see the end of it, she asked Zhao Hai, "Young Master, this water?"
Zhao Hai turned his head to Merine and smiled, "It's nothing. After the Space's upgrade, the area of land improved has also increased. Now, we can improve one hundred mu per day."
Merlin's face lit up with joy. "That's great. In that case, we'll only need about ten days to improve the land here. Although it's a little late now, it shouldn't be too late. We can still plant things."
Zhao Hai nodded. To be honest, improving one hundred mu per day was a good thing for him. Not to mention other things, just the land in the valley was enough for them to make good use of.
However, Zhao Hai also thought about it. He wanted to plant corn in this one thousand mu of land. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the Ranch's feed problem.
Their Ranch could raise a thousand animals. These thousand animals would consume a lot of feed every day. Now, the Space had a lot of stock, but it wasn't a lot. Zhao Hai still wanted to store more things.
Zhao Hai still had a lot of food in his hands, so he didn't have to worry about the food problem. They would first plant corn here. After the corn was harvested, the weather would become cold. At that time, they wouldn't be able to plant anything. In the coming year, Zhao Hai planned to plant bamboo rice here. The bamboo rice's yield was very high, and after the Space's improvement, the yield would be even higher. Slowly, it would become their main food.
In the beginning, what Green and the others bought the most was food. Now, the food in Zhao Hai's hands was enough for them to eat for ten years. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about the food. He planned to eat the food in his hands first, and then plant more. Although the food in the Space wouldn't rot, Zhao Hai's heart still felt uncomfortable when he thought about eating food every day.
Moreover, after the trade with Laura and the others, they would also buy some slaves. With more people, they would naturally eat more. The food in his hands was enough for one hundred people to eat for ten years, but with more people, it wouldn't be enough. Therefore, he still needed to plant some food.
However, if the Space was only used to plant food, it would be too wasteful. They still needed to plant food outside, not to buy it, but mainly to have enough to eat. As long as they planted bamboo rice in the 1000 mu of land, they wouldn't have to worry about food in the future.
While they were talking, the 100 mu of land had been improved. Now that the soil was moist, it was just right for planting. Zhao Hai's cane also had the ability of the space's small shovel, so naturally, he could use it to plant. Therefore, he directly planted the remaining 70 mu of land with corn. Although it was a bit late, it didn't matter. At worst, he could water it twice more to make it grow faster.
Now, using a cane to plant corn wasn't like using a small shovel. You could even see the small shovel working there. As long as Zhao Hai gave an order, the land in front of him would automatically change into the shape he needed. It didn't take much effort at all. After a while, the corn was planted.
After using the water cane, Zhao Hai felt how powerful it was. Not to mention, he could use all the functions of the Farm.
But thinking of this, Zhao Hai suddenly remembered something. Everything in the Space was based on the game. For example, the Farm had all the tools in the game. However, when he opened the Ranch, he didn't see any tools for the Ranch. What's going on? Could it be that because the Ranch adopted a free-range model, all the tools were canceled?
Zhao Hai wanted to enter the Space to study it, but in the end, he decided to forget about it. The matters in the valley had been dealt with, so they should return to the castle.
Merine naturally didn't know what Zhao Hai was thinking. When she saw that the matters here had been dealt with, Zhao Hai wanted to return to the castle. Naturally, she wouldn't stop him. However, she still wanted to go back and tell Daisy and the others to make a boat out of the remaining Oil Fruit Trees. Although Zhao Hai had planted the land, he still needed to take care of it in the future. She couldn't always deliver the crops every day, right? She couldn't deliver that many people, nor did she have the time to do so.
In the past, they wanted to make a straw boat because they didn't have the wood and didn't know how to build a boat. Now that they had the wood, they could slowly learn how to build a boat. In any case, they weren't in a hurry. If they couldn't make a boat, they could make a simple raft first. There weren't any winds or waves in the lake, so the raft would be enough.
When the two returned to the castle, the slaves had already settled down. Zhao Hai and Merine prepared to go to Stony Mountain. After all, their main focus was on that place. Although Zhao Hai and the others had returned, Zhao Hai and the others were still leading the undead to Stony Mountain to collect stones. Later on, even if Zhao Hai and the others finished their trade with Laura, they would still need to go to Stony Mountain from time to time to collect stones.
However, before leaving, Zhao Hai left behind a lot of alfalfa seeds for Blockhead. Alfalfa was a fertile crop. Zhao Hai planned to have Blockhead and the others plant alfalfa in the mountains when they were free. When the time comes, the alfalfa could be harvested as fodder, and it could also make the mountain more fertile.
After dealing with the slaves, the rest was left to Drunk and the others. Zhao Hai planned to leave Zhao Chong and Zhao Lu in the castle and let them lead two hundred undead to guard the castle. Drunk and the other three would lead the undead into the Carrion Swamp to catch undead and magic beasts.
People couldn't go into the Carrion Swamp, but Drunk and the others were undead, so it was just right for them to go in. Moreover, catching undead and magic beasts would make Zhao Hai's fighting strength even stronger, which was very good for them.
But before going in, Zhao Hai also instructed Drunk and the others to explore the swamp's periphery. They shouldn't go too deep into the swamp. If they find something wrong, they should immediately come out.
At this time, Zhao Hai only had a few people that he could use, so he didn't want to lose any of them. Because Drunk and the others were undead, it was inconvenient for them to come out when dealing with matters. However, because they were Zhao Hai's summons, they could still be of great help to Zhao Hai in battle. Zhao Hai didn't want them to be lost in the Carrion Swamp.
Although Drunk and the others were Zhao Hai's summons, their intelligence was still there. They had been wandering in the continent for so many years, and aside from the Xinya Clan and Zhao Hai, they hadn't suffered any losses. When it came to battle experience, Zhao Hai couldn't catch up with them. However, they still listened to Zhao Hai's words and didn't say anything.
Zhao Hai was now their god, so no matter what Zhao Hai said, they had to listen. Not to mention, these were good words. After explaining everything, Zhao Hai let them go.
Although Zhao Hai had released almost all of his undead, he didn't release Alien. First, it was because Alien could be used as a mount, which was very convenient. Second, Alien was a spiritual-type variant undead, which was much more powerful than ordinary undead. It could be considered as Zhao Hai's personal bodyguard.
Besides Alien, Zhao Hai also had several humanoid undead around him. These humanoid undead were similar to Zhao Hai. Originally, they weren't very powerful, but after being strengthened by the Space, they were no less than 5th rank warriors. Because of this, Zhao Hai kept them as his personal guards.
