Chapter 57 Wang Jue Launches Farming Experiment
The guidance was successful!
In the vast fields of spiritual energy, you can plant whatever you like!
"Haha, interesting, very interesting! Developing military strength is important, but cultivating the land is also important. We must do both well. Let's give these hundreds of millions of acres of spirit fields some more guidance!"
Wang Jue continued to inquire, "With the billions of acres of spiritual fields, can your [ability to plant whatever you want] be strengthened with guidance?"
"No!"
"Alright!" Wang Jue once again used Infinite Guidance, saying, "Strengthen your [Plant One, Get Four]!"
"Ding! Guidance successful! Your guidance has enlightened the billions of acres of spiritual fields, upgrading the 'Plant One Get Four' yield to 'Plant One Get Five' yield, increasing production efficiency to 500%, and adding +1 to the territory's agricultural attribute!"
Wang Jue continued to expend his soul power to provide further guidance, saying, "Strengthen [Plant One, Get Five]!"
"Ding, guidance successful..."
The [Billion-Acre Spirit Field] shone with golden light, and unsurprisingly, [Plant One, Get Five] was enhanced to [Plant One, Get Six].
At this point, Wang Jue still had two hundred points of soul power. He already knew that the limit of "one seed yields six" was the maximum, so he naturally wouldn't continue to enhance "hundreds of millions of acres of spiritual fields".
After consuming another hundred points of soul power, Wang Jue said, "Expand your spiritual fields by one hundred million mu!"
"Ding, guidance failed!"
Text bubble: "Silly boy".
Wang Jue wasn't annoyed. He used up his last 100 points of soul power and said, "One farmer can't handle the work of hundreds of millions of acres of spirit fields. Create more farmer positions!"
"Ding, guidance successful! Your guidance has enlightened the vast spiritual fields, allowing you to assign two dedicated farmers. The fields will be affected by the farmers' skills, increasing production efficiency and adding 1 to the territory's agricultural attribute."
Text bubble: "Lord, you are mighty! Please continue. I feel like we could open another farming slot."
"We're out of soul power!" Wang Jue shook his head. "Let's enjoy farming for now!"
At this moment, Wang Jue couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he planted the [Automatic Apple Tree] in the [Billion Mu Spirit Field]?
If you can plant one and get six, wouldn't that mean you can infinitely replicate an "automatic apple tree"?
Although the [Automatic Apple Tree] is terrible, only producing 7.5 units of food per day, if there were an unlimited number, food wouldn't be a problem!
Unfortunately, Wang Jue is currently unable to move the [Automatic Apple Tree], so he cannot verify it on the spot.
With a flick of his arm, he subtly adjusted the settings on the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field] control panel, turning the orc laborer beside him into his personal farmhand.
"Ding! Farmer-beastman laborers have been assigned to the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field], increasing production efficiency by 10%!"
Wang Jue heard the system notification, nodded, took out a handful of star coins and handed them to the orc laborer, then said to the orc laborer, "Orc laborer, plant these coins first!"
"Time to get to work!"
The orc laborer was very obedient. He immediately ran to the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field], dug a hole with a small iron pickaxe, and planted a handful of coins in it.
A text bubble immediately appeared above the [Billion-Acre Spiritual Field]: "Planting 45 coins occupies one square meter of spiritual field, yielding no output!"
Wang Jue said, "No output? Does that mean planting coins won't work?"
The text bubble said, "Perhaps you could try adding another 55 coins!"
"Will 55 more coins be enough?" Wang Jue asked skeptically, then took out another 55 coins and handed them to the orc laborer, saying, "Plant them with the ones from before!"
"Time to get to work!"
The orc laborer nodded, took 55 coins and went to the spot where he had planted the coins. He first used his pickaxe to dig out the previous 45 coins, and then planted them together with the 55 coins.
Word bubbles appeared one after another above the words "[Hundreds of millions of acres of spiritual fields]".
"Cancel the planting of 45 coins!"
"Plant 100 coins, occupying one square meter, and they will mature in 12 hours, producing 100 banknotes. The orc laborers will automatically collect them and send them to the Fortune House for storage."
Wang Jue was taken aback when he saw the text bubble.
Invest in coins, get paper money?
This works? That's outrageous!
But why isn't it "one plant, six harvests" anymore?
Wang Jue asked the [Billion-Mu Spiritual Field] about his doubts.
"How would I know? I'm just a hundred million acres of spirit fields! But even if I'm just a hundred million acres of spirit fields, I still think you're dreaming!"
"All right!"
Wang Jue waved his hand, moving the mysterious scarecrow aside, and pointed at it, saying to the orc laborer, "Orc laborer, plant it!"
"Time to get to work!"
The orc laborer was very obedient. He dug another hole next to where the coin was planted, then picked up the mysterious scarecrow and planted it.
A text bubble appears above the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field]: "Plant a Mysterious Scarecrow, occupying one square meter. It will mature in 12 hours and grow to 5 centimeters tall!"
Wang Jue asked, "Is it that amazing? What's the principle behind it?"
The text bubble reads: "No principle, no logic!"
"How extravagant!"
Wang Jue found it very interesting, so he took out the construction blueprint for the [Pusheng Grass] and used it directly. A tender green, fluffy little grass appeared in the [Billion-Mu Spirit Field].
The orc laborer ran over and dug a few times with a small iron pickaxe. A text bubble appeared above the vast spiritual field: "Plant one 'Puffing Grass,' occupying one square meter. It will mature in 12 hours. One plant yields six. Reserve five square meters. The orc laborer will automatically harvest and send it to the Fortune House for storage!"
"Huh, that makes sense. Mature 'Puffing Grass' can be harvested, does that mean it can be transplanted? So I can use 'Puffing Grass' to build a lawn?"
Wang Juexin thought it was good. Next, he had the orc laborers plant the Deep Sea Trident, Blood Prison Greatsword, Cloud Boat Capsule, and so on in the Hundred Million Mu Spirit Field, and conducted many experiments.
Unfortunately, nothing usually happens after planting the items.
Through the text bubbles that appeared above the [Billion-Mu Spiritual Field], Wang Jue gradually learned how to use this spiritual field.
First of all, the [Hundred Million Mu Spirit Field] actually has an internal grid. It is 666 square meters, divided into 666 small grids, each grid being one square meter. One square meter is the smallest planting unit. No matter what you plant, even if it is a 5 cm x 5 cm plant called Pu Sheng Grass, it will still occupy one square meter of spirit field.
In addition, under normal circumstances, the effect of the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field] is not to make the planted crops grow, but to replicate them!
To achieve the replication effect, enough spiritual field space needs to be reserved. For example, if you plant [Pu Sheng Grass], you can get six from one plant, so you need to reserve five square meters!
"Even so, these hundreds of millions of acres of spirit fields are incredibly powerful! Just planting herbs like hemostatic grass and then having the system recycle them can generate money out of thin air. In the future, I can also use unlimited guidance to strengthen the farmers and make their production efficiency even higher!"
Wang Jue pondered silently.
A moment later, Wang Jue set the stitched-up zombie Aleggu as a farmer. However, due to his mismatch with the field, Aleggu was unable to improve the production efficiency of the [Billion-Mu Spirit Field]. He was good at working, but he was just an assistant, helping the orc laborers from the side.
Next, Wang Jue brought all 238 hemostatic herbs and 20 Ganoderma lucidum plants and had the orc laborers plant them all.
This time, the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field] with only 666 small squares was directly brought to full production capacity, and even exceeded it. The harvest can be seen in 12 hours, and the 666 squares will definitely be full by then!
"My soul power is still not enough. If I had unlimited soul power to provide endless guidance, I'd be invincible at farming!"
As Wang Jue was sighing, he saw the little squirrel with the backpack come to the front of the fortune house, put several [Blood Prison Maps] on the ground, and then run away in a flash.
"This little guy really knows how to collect loot!"
Wang Jue stepped forward to count the items. The little squirrel in the backpack had brought six [Blood Prison Maps] in total. Including those he had obtained before, Wang Jue now had a total of 28 [Blood Prison Maps].
"There's plenty of work to be done now!"
Wang Jue began to ponder silently again.
"First, use the Blood Prison map and send heroes to explore the Blood Prison Secret Realm. I have more maps, which gives me a huge advantage!"
"Second, complete the territory mission and prepare for the fifth attack by the merman army!"
"Thirdly, with the Starry Sea Cloud Boat, I can lead my troops out to sea to explore and search for supplies and treasure chests!"
"Fourth, go to the 985 beginner village, recruit female mercenaries, and unlock the scrap recycling function in the Money Shop..."
"Besides that, farming can't stop, gathering materials in the Illusionary Wood Forest can't stop, building the city walls can't stop, and the novel can't be discontinued..."
Wang Jue suddenly felt very busy and lamented that he couldn't be in two places at once, but he quickly made a decision: to go to the Blood Prison to explore first, so that he could benefit as soon as possible and prevent the treasures inside from being stolen.
