Chapter 708: Chapter 283: Ancient Weapon · Primitive Cube (6000)
Cao Xing pondered secretly, “Because the four seeds were planted together, did they share the Life Force of this Human-faced Tree Heart?”
He quickly understood the reason behind it.
So, he took out the second Life Tree Heart from his backpack and gently shattered it.
“Ding!”
Pure Life Force once again seeped into the soil.
The seedlings, which had grown halfway, began to shoot up rapidly once more.
And because these were Magic Plant Seeds, under the accelerated growth of the Life Tree Heart, they directly skipped the sprouting stage and entered the flowering phase in the blink of an eye.
The green husks encased the rice within, and even though it hadn’t fully matured, the roundness of the grains could be sensed.
According to common knowledge, next, the rice should enter the ripening phase, gradually turning golden yellow.
However, at this moment, the Cold Dew Rice seemed to evolve in a different direction.
Its husks gradually turned white.
And they emitted a faint mist.
In the blink of an eye, four stalks of white rice, brimming with grains and exuding a slight chill, were fully grown.
From planting the seeds to complete growth,
It took less than a minute.
Even the sisters from the Tree Spirit Clan squatted beside them, watching everything with joyful expressions.
“The process of plant growth is really marvelous…”
“Yes, yes!”
Through the recent growth, Cao Xing roughly judged the growth cycle of [Cold Dew Rice].
From planting the seeds to producing rice, it was about a growth cycle of more than half a year.
With the acceleration from the Pale Tree and fertile land, it shortened to just over three months.
This speed was indeed fast.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Cao Xing harvested these four stalks of rice.
[Obtained: Cold Dew Rice (Green) *1432]
…
“Not bad, according to this ratio, after the four Cold Dew Rice Seeds matured, each stalk yielded over three hundred grains of rice on average.”
“Among these grains, there are some plantable seeds, which can be selected, cultivated, and then turned into another round of quality seeds.”
“Once the first batch of Cold Dew Rice is fully grown, I can expand the farm and start planting on a large scale.”
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
He glanced at the attribute.
[Cold Dew Rice (Green)]
[Effect: Consuming it can restore more Satiety, long-term consumption can increase Constitution (increases Constitution by up to 20 points).]
(Note: A type of rice with a sweet and refreshing taste, also a high-quality ingredient for brewing rice wine.)
…
Then, he tossed another one into his mouth, indeed tasting a hint of sweetness.
Very faint, yet just right.
“Not bad.”
Cao Xing called Dahua over.
The lady came toward them and bowed respectfully, “Lord, may you be well.”
She also nodded slightly to the sisters of the Tree Spirit Clan, who returned the gesture.
In Cao Xing’s territory, Nif and Juliette’s status was higher than that of the regular staff, given their status as specialized talents.
They were aware of the importance the Lord placed on these two members of the Tree Spirit Clan.
Thus, when staff members saw combat personnel and technical talents, they would greet them as a sign of respect.
However, due to the compact size of Cao Xing’s territory, managing personnel was not overly complicated, and therefore, no formal management system had been established yet.
But these systems would surely need to be implemented in the future.
After all, Cao Xing planned to develop his territory into a Giant City.
With more people, a comprehensive management system, a military system, and reward systems would certainly be necessary.
And a lot of talent would be needed to perfect these systems.
Clearing his mind of wandering thoughts, Cao Xing handed her two bags.
“Dahua, these two crops are quite important to our territory; plant them in the next couple of days.”
The subject Dahua carefully took the bags, then replied respectfully, “As you command, Lord.”
“I will take good care of them.”
After instructing Dahua, Cao Xing, along with Juliette and Nif, returned to the rear garden area.
He still had three rather important types of seeds in his backpack.
Namely, [Ice Thorns Heliotrope Seeds (Blue)], [Golden Sunflower Seeds (Gold)], and [Twilight Vine Seeds (Gold)].
However, there was no rush for the other two.
This time, Cao Xing mainly intended to nurture a batch of Golden Sunflowers first.
Then, he took out a small wooden box from his backpack.
After opening it, there was a golden seed quietly lying on top.
Juliette gazed at the item in Cao Xing’s hand, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
“This is a type of seed I’ve never seen before… I sense an ancient aura in it.”
Cao Xing nodded silently.
Indeed, this seed was ancient.
He explained, “This seed is called the Golden Sunflower, which can yield some special things, and needs to be planted first.”
“Our territory should be able to cultivate this seed, right?”
Juliette nodded slightly, “No problem, Lord.”
“Great, then please go ahead and plant it.”
Juliette took the golden seed from Cao Xing, then bent down and began to use an iron shovel to dig the soil near the Pale Tree.
Standing in front of her, Cao Xing couldn’t help but notice the expanse of smooth white skin and its elegant curves.
One had to admit, Juliette’s form was truly flawless.
Every part of her could only be described as exquisite.
Cao Xing compared her to a figurine-like girl, and it could not be more apt.
“Rustle, rustle…”
Soon, the soil was dug open.
Cao Xing’s gaze shifted away from the broad area of whiteness.
Then, he focused on watching Juliette’s actions.
