Lord of Plenty

Jiang Xiaobai simply gave up the second task. After wandering around and not being able to find a good job, he finally wandered into the green wheat field.

"Hey, isn't that the God-chosen Lord? Is he here to supervise?"

Beside the already piled wheat straw, standing next to it was the young wizard-like guiding NPC, the lord of this land, and the nominal leader of the players.

In fact, such NPCs should generally be called the protagonists of the game. Players either play the role of companions or followers, exploring the world with the protagonist's footsteps and advancing the main quest of the game.

But this game is not sure whether it is too open and simply cuts off the main quest, or the main quest has not started at all. The 'protagonist' did not perform any actions that can be called the main quest.

It seems that he is just a simple guiding NPC, the nominal leader of the players.

In addition to the strange hobby of pitting new players, this lord never restricts the behavior of players, allowing them to explore freely and survive on their own.

So in the pioneer player group, they are all called by the name of 'God-chosen Lord'.

Some players even speculated that this guy's real identity was the big boss of the game's final chapter, and the protagonist was actually someone else, who might be in the Plenty Territory, and would not appear until the game was officially released.

In a sense, Kun Zheng, who had been known by the players for three points, was unaware of it, and looked at the yellow-green wheat field that was gradually being harvested in front of him with joy.

He invested money and effort, and waited for so long, for what?

It was not for this moment.

The time of harvest!

He could feel that his own source of magic power was constantly being filled with the magic power fed back when the crops matured. Even if he was involved in the Blue Star and consumed most of his magic power, the source of magic power was still growing in an orderly manner, and he was moving towards the demigod level step by step.

The second corner of the hexagonal mark of abundance on the back of his hand was also flickering, which was the abnormality caused by the shackles being opened.

The only pity is that it was already late winter when he arrived at Fengrao Territory from the capital at the beginning of the year and took office as the lord. He did not catch up with the time to plant winter wheat, so he could only settle for the second best and plant some spring wheat.

The difference between the two is that the quality of wheat produced by winter wheat will be better. After a whole winter of dormancy, the protein content of wheat is higher, so it is often used to make bread, noodles and other foods that require a higher protein content.

Spring wheat is more suitable for making biscuits, cakes and other foods due to its high starch content.

In fact, with the help of the existing life magic system, he does not even need to create the corresponding abundance magic. He can plant winter wheat first and then summer wheat to achieve the goal of harvesting twice a year.

However, it is a bit late this year. Excessive abuse of magic will only make the fruits like chewing wax, tasteless, and unable to unlock the mark of abundance.

So Kun plans to plant some fire nettles in the farmland after harvesting this batch of green wheat. On the one hand, when the red wheat matures, it can be put together to brew the famous blood-scorching wine in the northern region.

Secondly, we can rely on these low-level magic plants like weeds to enrich the fields with magic elements, so we can try to plant some other crops, even magic plants, next year.

For example, the frost cherry tomatoes, red dragon eye flower, frost grapes, and coral bone fungi, which have higher requirements for the fields.

These crops have low yields, but they are also more valuable. Kun is not allowed to plant too many, just enough for the internal consumption of players.

In Kun's plan, part of these specialties produced in his territory will be sold, and the other part will need to be consumed internally. In the future, there will be more and more players, who will undoubtedly be the main force to digest this part of the output.

The Rich Territory is dangerous. To the east is the Ever Dark Forest where high-level magic beasts often appear, to the west is the forbidden scorched earth where no grass grows under the curse, and behind is the Storm Sea, where no one can pass.

But in other words, the Rich Territory is also rich in products.

The Ever Dark Forest is an inexhaustible treasure trove of magic beasts and magic potions. Although the forbidden scorched earth is dangerous, the soul white sand, soul essence, immortal bones of the undead, and incorruptible dead meat, these rare magic materials in the outside world have attracted countless wizards.

Not to mention the Storm Sea, even the ancient elves failed to conquer this rich land. It is extremely dangerous, and it may also be the place with the most hidden wealth on this continent.

It is not that all human countries are so short-sighted that they can't see such a rich land of wealth. In fact, with the existing power and technology of human beings, they are simply unable to develop these wealth.

But this matter is not a big deal for a group of players who have been driven red by loans.

No matter how terrible the magic beasts in the Ever Dark Forest and the demons in the forbidden scorched earth are, can they be as terrible as the players who are known as the fourth disaster?

What will happen if Kunken opens the authority and ignores the consequences and directly launches the public beta of "Lord of Plenty" now?

He could imagine that a large number of fearless players would turn over the Ever Dark Forest and the Forbidden Scorched Earth three hundred times like plowing the land, and kill all the monsters, demons and ghosts, leaving no one alive.

In fact, these half a hundred players have almost turned the Plenty Territory he built with great effort upside down. Didn't you see that his tax collector's hair has started to fall out in clumps recently?

So he didn't dare to let too many players in at once, and could only do it step by step.

Click~

Some kind of illusory sound similar to the shackles being opened appeared in the spiritual sea, and Kun's face was happy.

"It's opened now?"

Lifting the back of his hand, he saw that the second corner of the Plenty Mark had indeed lit up.

In fact, as early as when he was in the capital, Kun had been trying to find a way to open this corner mark, but he had no large fields for sowing, and he wasted so many years to unlock it.

And when he came to the Plenty Territory, he opened one corner in just half a year, so Kun was naturally happy.

"Can I open another corner mark after harvesting all the crops in the territory this year?"

"It's a bit uncertain."

Kun, who asked himself and answered himself, soon calmed down. The Plenty Mark was not difficult to open, otherwise he would not have wasted so much time until now.

However, he was still overjoyed when he unlocked the second corner of the Plenty Mark as soon as he started harvesting green wheat.

"Let me see, what is the second corner of the Plenty?"

"Fertile?"

Kun was stunned when he probed into the mark with his mental power and naturally received some information feedback.

Fertile?

What kind of ability is this?

In his Great Plenty Territory, if you dig a handful of the ground, you will find the most fertile humus magic black soil left over from the Eternal Forest, which has accumulated for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Still fertile?

Is it necessary?

——

After working hard all day to harvest green wheat, Jiang Xiaobai harvested two and a half acres of land and earned only 25 copper coins and 42 abundance points.

Fortunately, this job is much easier than logging. Although she didn't put many talent points into her physique, the physical fitness and recovery ability of elves are completely incomparable to the sub-healthy body of players outside the game.

In fact, it is mainly because those ancient fir trees are too difficult to cut down. The axe hitting the tree trunk does not seem to be logging, but it seems to be cutting iron trees. In comparison, the work of harvesting wheat is much easier and earns more game coins.

However, this job was only done for two days. On the third day, Jiang Xiaobai rushed to the farmland again to accept the task of harvesting wheat fields, but was dumbfounded.

A strange-looking "iron monster" lay in the farmland, and many farmers gathered around it to point fingers at it.

As the machine that looked like a car was started, pieces of wheat fell down and were harvested quickly.

This, this, this...

Isn't this a harvester?

Am I dazzled or is there a bug in the game?

It's really outrageous.

On the ridge beside the field, [Empress Xu] was introducing his great invention to Kun, Vittorio, Old Tate and other high-ranking officials in the territory in a loud voice.

"Sir, this is a simple harvester that I and Old Donkey, ahem, are big players, who have jointly transformed. Its main materials are electric magic stone and refined iron. It is sponsored by Master Antonie Mosquera of the blacksmith shop. The technology involved is jointly owned by me and Master Melward."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Vittorio, who was a little impatient, interrupted [Empress Xu]'s long speech. He was more concerned about how much manpower and material resources this thing could save for the territory.

"Tell me in detail how this thing works, how much it costs, and how much green wheat can be harvested every day? More importantly, if this thing can really be used and is really useful, I think the lord will not be stingy with your reward."

There are indeed game rewards for doing this!

[Empress Xu] was immediately excited and stopped talking nonsense.

"In short, it is driven by magic stones and puppet cores. The comb-like wheat supporter in front of the harvester will be inserted into the green wheat, and then it will be combed and straightened and pushed into the harvester for cutting, and then it will be simply separated from the wheat and stalks through the roller..."

In fact, Xu Zhiyuan only wanted to make a simple version of the harvester at the beginning, and the harvesting step would be done. Wait until the separation device is made in the future. Wouldn't it be possible to get double rewards for free?

In fact, many scientific research projects are done this way. This is called nothing else, only practice makes perfect.

However, this naive idea was persuaded by Ma Jun, and his reason was also very simple.

Whether it is a simple harvester or a combine harvester, the blueprints are not a secret on the Internet. It's just that players are in the exploratory stage now and haven't thought of this yet.

When the first person to try it comes out, it may be difficult to get a bargain. It's better to get all the rewards you can get in one go, so as not to be exploited by other players.

In this way, it seems that you have received one less reward, but in fact you have gained the maximum benefit.

He also understands the principle that a bird in the hand is worth a thousand birds in the forest. After Ma Jun said this, Xu Zhiyuan simply put aside those little thoughts and built this alien version of the combine harvester in one go.
