Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and was speechless. It seemed like the two of them were not really stupid. They were afraid that he would trick them. It looked like he could only bring the two of them into the Space Farm. But that was good too. In any case, he would have to tell Grimm and the others about the Space Farm sooner or later.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, put down the sword. Isn’t it heavy? Get ready, we’re going in.” With that, the three of them instantly disappeared and appeared in the Space Farm.
Wood and Rock looked at everything in the Space Farm in a daze. They saw the radishes that had already grown out of the ground, the straw huts, and the pile of things in front of the hut.
Seeing that the two of them were still holding their swords, Zhao Hai patted their shoulders and said, “Put down your swords. Aren’t we already here?”
Wood and Rock came to their senses and put down their swords. They did not dare to go against Zhao Hai’s words at all. Right now, they felt that Zhao Hai’s words were an imperial edict. They had to follow it.
Zhao Hai also felt the change in the two of them. He seemed to feel that the two of them had already treated him as their master, which stunned him.
However, he did not think too much about it. He looked at the growth of the radish and the things in the hut. There was no change. He was only left with 200 gold coins. Moreover, he remembered that when he was playing the game, weeds and pests would automatically respawn from time to time. These two things were the greatest enemies of crops.
Fortunately, those things did not grow in the ground. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai had to come here to take a look. Although the farm gave him a notification when the radishes matured, he did not know if the notification would appear when weeds and pests appeared.
These radishes were money, and if he wanted to live well here, he could not disregard them. He needed money, a lot of money, so he could not make any mistakes.
Wood and Rock were still following Zhao Hai as usual, but their mental state had changed drastically. In the past, they only listened to Grimm, but after coming to the Space Farm, Grimm’s status in their hearts became far lower than Zhao Hai’s. Now, Zhao Hai was their lord.
Zhao Hai did not know that this Space Farm was different. In fact, everything here belonged to them. However, there was the concept of levels here. Since his level was too low, there were things that were not yet accessible to him.
It was precisely because this Space Farm belonged to him that no matter what he brought into this Space Farm, this thing would involuntarily recognize him as its master. His orders were the imperial edict. In this space, he was the god, which was why Wood and Rock had such thoughts.
Zhao Hai had yet to discover this. He only carefully checked the Space Farm to see if there were any changes. There were no changes at all. Everything was normal. Although it had advanced another level, other than some seeds, he had obtained nothing.
However, Zhao Hai was not depressed. Although he did not have much gold coins left, he could still plant another batch of radishes. If Grimm did not return before this new batch of radishes was mature, he could only sell a portion of them to the shop and use the money to buy another bag of seeds.
It was not that Zhao Hai did not want to plant anything else, but he knew too little about the vegetables in this world. He was afraid that he would not be able to sell anything if he planted anything else. He was in an accumulation state now. If he really planted vegetables that could not be sold, his capital would be suppressed. It was not the time to test that.
It was easy to sell radishes in this world, so planting radishes was the safest method. Zhao Hai could not take a single wrong step. This not only concerned his life, but also the future of the entire Buda family.
Zhao Hai knew very well that he had not only inherited Adam’s body, but also the responsibility of the Buda family. Therefore, he would rather be stable and keep a low profile than take a wrong step and let others discover their movements. If others discovered them, they might even lose their lives.
Realizing that there was no change in the Space Farm, Zhao Hai nodded and stood up. He turned to Wood and Rock and said, “Alright, there’s nothing else here. Let’s go out.”
Wood and Rock naturally did not object. They immediately replied, “Yes, Young Master.” This stunned Zhao Hai. This was the first time Wood and Rock had spoken to him. He could not help but look at the two of them curiously, but he did not find anything strange. With a thought, he brought the two of them out of the Space Farm and returned to his room.
Looking around the room, the door was still closed. No one had entered. Zhao Hai heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Wood and Rock. “Let’s go and take a look outside the castle. I want to see what’s so special about the black soil. We have to modify the moat as well. We have to raise fish there.” As he spoke, he led the two of them out.
If it were in the past, they would definitely stop him because Grimm did not let Zhao Hai leave the castle, but now, they did not say anything and only followed behind Zhao Hai silently.
The three of them arrived at the square of the castle. Zhao Hai casually put the materials that were not placed in the house into the space warehouse. At the same time, he used his sense to explore the Space Farm and found that many things had been placed in the warehouse. Moreover, the warehouse had already arranged them and displayed the number of materials. Zhao Hai was quite pleased with this.
Zhao Hai also realized that he did not have to go to the Space Farm to control everything there. When he wanted to see something in the Space Farm, the projection of that thing would appear in front of him, and this projection seemed to be invisible to others around him. This was much more convenient.
The three of them slowly left the castle. The main entrance was already open. Merlyn and Meg were watching the slaves tidy up the previously abandoned mines.
Actually, even if they did not supervise, those slaves would not slack off. Because Zhao Hai had given them a goal. As long as they worked hard, sooner or later, they would no longer be slaves. This was their greatest motivation.
Merlyn and Meg also realized that these slaves were especially energetic today. They seemed to have endless energy. The work that could have been completed in an hour was completed in half an hour.
Zhao Hai did not go there. There were not many people he could trust now, but he could definitely trust Merlyn and Meg. Since he trusted them, there was no need to go there to take a look. He wanted to see if he could modify those black soil. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
Zhao Hai first walked to the side of the moat. The moat was not very wide, but it could be seen that it was built very well. The entire river had even been built with stones. Therefore, although no one had lived here for many years, the river water was still very clear.
Zhao Hai looked around. When this moat was built, there were two water sources. One was the two springs in this moat. These springs kept spewing water day and night, and the other was a subterranean river that flowed down from the mountain.
Logically speaking, it was strange that there was a subterranean river on this mountain. This river flowed into the moat, and there was a water outlet on the other side of the moat. Therefore, the water in this river was definitely flowing water and could be used to raise fish.
However, he would definitely be an idiot if he raised the fish just like that. This was flowing water. If he were to release the fish directly, the fish would run away with the water. Therefore, if he wanted to raise fish, he had to modify the moat.
But the problem was that this moat was connected to the castle’s drainage system. If he wanted to modify it, he would have to change the castle’s drainage system. There were many issues involved.
Zhao Hai frowned and put this matter aside. He still felt that he should inspect the black soil first. If the black soil could really be modified, then he would make more plans like cultivating the land, irrigation works, harvesting and so on.
Farming looked simple, but it was difficult to farm well. Although Zhao Hai had never farmed before, he had some understanding of farming. He had seen people farm before. In addition, the country valued agriculture. There was a lot of news about farming. In addition, he had read some history books, so he naturally knew that it was not easy to cultivate the land.
The word water conservancy was mentioned more than once in China’s history. Every emperor attached a lot of importance to it, but there were no water conservancy facilities in Zhao Hai’s territory.
It was strange. This black land did not desertify even after so many years. It should have long been turned into sand, but this place was still that black land.
Zhao Hai led Wood and Rock to the black land. This black land was not far from the castle. After walking for dozens of steps, Zhao Hai squatted down and grabbed a handful of black soil. This stunned him.
Zhao Hai used to live in an oil city in northern China. There was black soil there that was called oil sand. This oil sand was like sand mixed with oil. It did not grow anything at all, but it looked black. Zhao Hai had seen this oil sand before, and when he touched this black soil, he felt like he was touching oil sand.
Zhao Hai’s heart sank. If this was really oil sand, it would be over. He would not be able to plant anything. He only hoped that it only felt like oil sand and was not really oil sand.
Zhao Hai turned to Wood and said, “Wood, dig out some black soil. We’ll study it when we get back.” Wood responded and took out his sword to dig the ground. Soon, he dug out a large pile of black soil.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “That will do.” With that, he put the pile of black soil in the warehouse and prepared to study it when he returned.
After putting away the black soil, Zhao Hai looked at the large piece of black soil and couldn’t help but sigh. It was really a waste that there was no way to cultivate this large piece of land. He hoped that the space water and space soil could transform this place. Otherwise, even if they wanted to develop, it would be quite slow. Moreover, his secret would be known by the entire world. In that case, the Buda family would be finished.𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
