Chapter 994 An Unnamed Farming Instance
Jin opened up a new window to show off a brand new instance with literally nothing but layers of land floating from one corner to another. Not only that, the ground had already been tilted by Panda NPCs and automation to put even the current Pandapolis Farming Sectors, the Werejackal's Mansion Farm and even the New Home Island Instance where the werejackals had an agricultural tower to shame.
"The System had been keeping each and every single item - basically a hoarder though it claims that it is for collection of data purposes- Anyways, the first of each and every single item that had been dropped were kept while the rest were used into the Recycler with the exception of those in our Spiraling Sewers Instance. The Pandarens who were grinding the dungeons would get to keep those items... Although I have the feeling that the System is sneaky enough to at least copy the item before giving the Pandarens access."
"And after our dealings with the Spirits of the Land, the System finally has gained the capability to regrow anything that was from the Farming World. The only caveat is that it's limited to stuff from the Farming World." Jin said as if he was proud that the System gained a new skill but still disappointed that it could only work that much. (#asianparent)
"You mind sharing it?" Gold asked as he too always had the conception that the farming had always worked in such a way until he went to other worlds to have an eye opener.
"As much as the System wishes too, it is not something that could be explained or quantified without speaking potential System language gibberish. As the saying goes 'seeing is believing'." The System reported, and the group continued to browse through the new Farming Instance with awe (since the monitor featured something like Mooogle Street Map with 3D all around view.), Jin continued to explain.
"Therefore, our priority lies in the absolute eradication of the Demon Rats. Once we have achieved that goal, we will have access to a multitude of resources to grow, reducing the reliance on the black market. In fact, we might be able to sell things in the future that could bring us massive profits." Jin told them with glee.
"Like weapons?" Kiyu asked with her hand raised up.
"Hopefully not." Jin did not outright reject that as a possibility after all military spending was always where most of the money could be made.
"Oh…" Rei finally got the overall picture. "So, we create a lot of Blank State Seeds, find some military blueprint designs and let Gold work his magic to grow them in that Instance."
"Ah…but as much as I like to brag that I am the best seed inscriber in the Farming World, I have not had a lot of practice for a while now …so I'll need some time to brush up. I hope it won't pose too much of a problem since we can make more Blank State Seeds. However, I must warn that there are certain limitations to them. The seed is like a blank CD from your world. I can only add that much to the seed for it to grow. I mean have you seen the stuff the rats drop? There was nothing too complicated. From buckets, to tables and perhaps to a simple wooden house and the last one is pretty much as big as it can get." Gold iterated his concerns.
"Hmm but oddly enough, the Demon Rats did drop …you know erm your Farming World produces animals." Jin argued.
"Because those seeds are animal seeds. Not Blank State Seeds. Did you not check the animal seeds in my deposit? They are at least four times bigger than the usual seeds?" Gold replied.
"Then just find bigger Blank State Seeds, duh." Kiyu replied with a grin, and Gold shook his head.
"Impossible. I've seen a Giant Blank State Seed only once, and harvesting them had nearly cost me my life. I had to travel far and wide to get them." Gold recounted those bad memories in his head and wondered how he lived so far.
"I can assure you that is the truth. This idiot dragged me to an icy tundra that had a worm as large as Lynn's Restaurant Train and forced me to fight with it until he came out of its belly with those seeds. Without Keyrin and the others helping me that day, we would have probably become worm food in the end." Weslie recalled how terribly one of the encounters was.
"Come on, it wasn't that bad, was it? Didn't we have a lot of fun on the journey there and back?" Gold gleed a little but Weslie smacked his shoulders instead. "Hey! What's that for? You were the one who brought it up."
"Well if you had problems to keep it in check with Keyrin and the others we probably should not bother going that route. In any case, don't worry about that. We'll create blueprints and subsequently break it down once the prototype is working properly. That is where Pandapolis Industries will come into play. Without the need of creating those parts, we only need to wield and assembly it together. We should have enough time for that. I will get Qiu Yue to set up the factories once we have those blueprints ready. But the only issue is soil and fertilisers. We need lots of it so we can continuously push growth." Jin explained.
"Why is that an issue? Aren't we already producing it all with the Counterfeiter?" Ayse queried.
"That problem lies with the System's ability to grow in the spatial dungeon instance. While the Counterfeiter can produce seeds and soil, the Spirit of the Land reported that it required their blessing for optimal results. So, we need soil or at least fertiliser from the Farming World to make it work." The System reported.
"That is where I have another task for you, Gold. While waiting for the prototypes of those semi-autonomous machines' blueprints to work, I need you to travel back to the East to procure sand, soil, fertilisers and other things needed to make the plants grow faster. You are the expert anyways. Budget wise, just tell the System how much you need and it will grant you what you required. Also, remember to- "
"Bargain. Yeah, yeah, Boss. We all know that." Gold cut him off and already teleported to the Farming World. Back at his head, he already had a few contacts in mind and already began pursuing them back in the Eastern Region.
Weslie had actually been doodling out some plans which popped out in her mind, and upon hearing how Jin got those parts to assemble them, Rei made sure it was feasible to manufacture them on a large scale. Ayse returned to the Counterfeiter to check if it was working as intended while Kiyu held onto that Blank State Seed and told Jin she would borrow it for a bit before performing a disappearing act like Kraft.
Jin did not think much into Kiyu's actions as he wanted to return to Qiu Yue to check if she had any opinions about the Mind Hive Dungeon Instance until a thought struck him.
"Oh yeah, I have yet to name this instance... Never mind, its still in the works. Or maybe I should leave it to Shu since he would be the main caretaker of that instance." Jin left a mental note to himself before he disappeared from that meeting room.
