Chapter 15 Dragon Baby Takes Yufei for a Stroll Through the Space
Chapter 15 Dragon Baby Takes Yufei for a Stroll Through the Space
Yufei also felt there was no rush, so she didn't urge them any further.
She was also taking a good look around when she noticed that one of the hens had laid an egg, and the egg had vanished instantly.
Yufei was stunned and asked Longbao where the eggs had gone, worried that she wouldn't have any eggs to eat.
The dragon baby told her that the space directly delivered the eggs and everything they produced to the warehouse.
They harvested the crops as soon as they were ripe.
A batch had already been harvested before she arrived; this batch was replanted by Granny Chun.
Yufei repeatedly thanked Granny Chun for her hard work.
As they chatted, they unknowingly arrived in front of a row of tiled houses.
The baby dragon pushed open the door to the middle room with a series of heaves. Inside, Yufei felt a sense of disorientation, as if she had traveled through time.
Long Baobao told Yufei that this was a slaughterhouse, with rows of machines inside, all of which were meat-cutting machines. He then explained to Yufei how to use these machines.
Of those houses, only this one room and another room next to it were open; the other room was a sugar workshop.
Granny Chun told Yufei about the other rooms, including a milk production workshop, an oil press, a wool processing workshop, a dyeing workshop, and a weaving workshop.
However, due to the availability of raw materials, it was not opened to the public.
Looking at these closed areas, Yufei secretly resolved to quickly gather the raw materials, otherwise it would be such a waste to leave these rooms there!
After introducing the place, Long Baobao led Yufei forward.
After walking for about 15 minutes, another row of houses appeared in front of Yufei, and Longbaobao stopped in front of this row of houses.
"This is the fertilizer factory," Long Baobao said, pushing open the door with the help of Granny Chun. The layout of this row of houses was different from before; previously, each room had a specific purpose.
The whole thing has been opened up; it's a huge space with several machines running inside. On one side are rows of shelves, filled with bags of fertilizer.
However, the amount of fertilizer on this shelf wasn't even enough to fill the first shelf.
The main problem is that we don't have enough livestock. It seems we need to develop further. This fertilizer production machine doesn't require Yufei to operate.
The dragon baby told Yufei that it would operate 24 hours a day without interruption, as long as it was provided with raw materials.
If Yufei needs fertilizer later, she can just take it from that shelf.
Long Baobao led the two of them around to the back of the fertilizer plant and continued walking.
Before she had gone far, Yufei saw a high wall with a small gate in the middle.
"This is the back gate of our compound," Long Baobao said, gesturing for Granny Chun to open it. Granny Chun was in charge of keeping the back gate.
Granny Chun nodded, took out an antique gold key from her waist, and opened the back door.
A cool breeze swept towards Yufei and the others. The three of them looked towards the back door and saw a vast expanse of lush green rice paddies. Yufei could almost smell the fragrance of rice blossoms mingled with the earthy scent of the rice.
At the edge of this field, a misty haze descended, but the outline of a large mountain could be faintly seen, with rows of houses at its foot.
There were other people in the space?! Yufei was astonished by this realization.
Yufei followed Long Baobao and Granny Chun along the path in the rice paddies, where people were working!
As the two of them passed by these people, they would stop and greet Yufei and Granny Chun with "Hello, Miss! Hello, Granny Chun!"
With expressions full of respect, Yufei returned their warm smiles and thanked them for their hard work, which excited them and boosted their morale even further.
Long Baobao and the others seemed oblivious, prompting Yufei to ask him in confusion what was going on. Long Baobao explained, "I'm an intelligent system, inherently virtual. Only whoever I want to see me can see me. These people definitely can't see me."
This is a village that has awakened after the space upgrade, and the people in the village are all there to serve you.
The seeds you collect will be automatically distributed to the awakened villages for planting once a certain quantity of each type is reached, with 50% of them used for their livelihood.
The remaining 50% will be recycled and stored in the warehouse for your use.
The first village to awaken had about 100 people.
Hearing Long Baobao's explanation, Yufei was practically floating on air; population meant productivity!
Fifty percent of what they planted was for her; Yufei felt overwhelmed with happiness.
Dragon Baby led Yufei on a tour of the village, which was laid out in a very standard ancient style.
However, looking at the blue brick roads and the black and white tiled houses, it was somewhat like the ancient town that Yufei had visited in her previous life. This village seemed quite prosperous.
The pedestrians who greeted them all wore happy and contented smiles.
Granny Chun took Yufei to visit the village chief's house.
The village chief's house is located in the northwest corner of the village. It's a three-room house with a long main room in the middle, a kitchen on the left, and a storeroom on the right.
The house was surrounded by a fence, and chrysanthemums were planted around the perimeter of the fence. Granny Chun said the village chief had asked her for the seeds, and that's how they were planted.
Chrysanthemum seeds were among the seeds sent in before the space upgrade, and she gave them to the village chief. While all other flowers were beautiful, he particularly loved chrysanthemums, and giving him chrysanthemums was a way of showing his family affection.
From the village chief's house, one can see the hazy mountains, which reminds Yufei of the poem "Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the southern mountains." Combined with this scenery, it truly evokes that kind of charm.
The village chief, Liu Yufei, and her companion ate a meal at his house. The food was decent, but it wasn't very oily.
Yufei wondered if the things planted in the village were all surplus from their courtyard, and the things raised in the village were also surplus.
The dragon baby gave an affirmative answer, and suddenly Yufei felt a bit of pressure; she needed to hurry up with the plan to find the pig.
She can't buy pigs yet, so she wants to plant tea trees first. Once there are enough tea trees, the villagers can plant them too, and then they can extract tea oil and start earning some money.
But lard has a long way to go!
After making some reflections on life, Yufei returned to the compound and asked Long Baobao to retrieve her spatial information.
Junlin Space:
Space Level: lv1
Companion skills: Brewing (Beginner), Etiquette (Beginner) (3 more skills need to be unlocked before the next upgrade)
Space Species: 20 (25 more species are needed before the next upgrade).
"Furthermore, Master! In addition to the territory we just inspected and the technology upgrades, the space upgrade will also bring you three mentors who will teach you other skills. However, their awakening times may vary, and you will need to unlock them yourself."
After Long Baobao retrieved the spatial data, he explained to Yu Fei what would be available after the upgrade.
Yufei nodded. Sigh! 25 species—she could only quickly collect these things by the sea or in the mountains! Yufei felt a sense of impending doom.
