Chapter 155

===================

Only by exerting pressure from both inside and outside can we have a better chance of winning.

Gary pondered for a moment and said, "I think what you said makes sense. So what are your plans?"

Lian Yun did not answer directly, but asked where Luo was going.

"Luo went to find Rock. According to your instructions, he plans to make more sound-transmitting gems." Gary replied.

Lian Yun nodded with satisfaction, which was exactly what she wanted.

"I have an idea, but I need to consult with the Lord of Buli Lake City."

But running around is obviously a waste of time.

Gary: "I understand. Once Luo finishes making the gemstone, I'll send someone to deliver it to Buli Lake City immediately. It won't waste any time."

Lian Yun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, the sound-transmitting gem made by Luo can be mass-produced like a mobile phone, but due to the rarity of this magic and the high requirements for precision, Lian Yun currently only knows that Rock can do it.

"Also, based on the drawings that the adults asked us to design last time, Buck and I drew several versions according to our understanding and experience in the books. Take a look." Gary said as he took out a few sheets of paper and spread them out to show Lian Yun.

Lian Yun saw the version he wanted at a glance.

A stone-built, glass-topped greenhouse, modeled after the greenhouse shed in Lianyun, with one side vertical and the other side semi-curved. No matter what happens outside, it is always warm as spring inside.

But located in the desert, Lian Yun did not want to build it to maintain the temperature, but to maintain the humidity - for mushroom cultivation.

With mushrooms, we have mushroom chicken.

The mushroom chicken has been delivered for so long, but it hasn't laid an egg yet.

Lian Yun immediately finalized the blueprint: "This is it!"

"When it's ready, our town will have another ingredient."

Aibei, who was walking over with the dishes, had his eyes gleaming: "What!"

Lian Yun explained it again and again without getting tired, and Aibei became even more excited after listening.

Gary looked at him, stroked his beard and laughed a few times: "Don't worry, I will make sure they get it done as soon as possible."

Aibei happily put the plate on the table: "Try it now, I added new seasoning!"

Several people looked at the red on the plate.

"Is this fried tomatoes...tomatoes?" Lian Yun choked.

It was red and red all over. Lian Yun was stunned for a few seconds before reluctantly accepting this dish.

——After all, there are no eggs yet.

"Is it strange?"

Seeing Lian Yun's expression, Aibei also became a little nervous.

"I saw a recipe for scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but we don't have eggs."

Facing Aibei's eager expression, Lian Yun pursed his lips and slowly shook his head, as if trying to convince himself: "No... maybe things will be more normal after the new ingredients come out, at least in my opinion."

Aibei nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay."

Lina on the side couldn't wait to pick up the fork. After Abe put a full spoonful on her plate, she opened her mouth and took a big bite of the red fruit.

"Hmm..." Lina squinted her eyes and chewed for a few times, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"It's sweet!" Lina said incoherently, and her green eyes instantly turned into two crescents.

Lian Yun put down his chopsticks completely.

Lina swallowed the food in her mouth and blinked: "Sister, why don't you eat?"

Lian Yun calmly declined: "Thank you for the invitation, but I don't like sweet fried tomatoes."

She finally knew what the "new seasoning" that Abe was talking about was.

It's sugar.

When they came back from the Elf Forest, they brought some sugarcane and planted the seedlings. Lianyun gave the remaining grown sugarcane to Aibei to deal with on his own.

Of course, Abe did not miss the opportunity to create a new seasoning. He and Buck looked through many books and found a method for making sugar.

Even though the final product was just a tiny bit, they were already very happy!

Abe tried adding new seasonings to several dishes, and everyone liked them very much.

"Meili said she is already planting, but because there are so many new crops, she hasn't planned the planting area yet."

After hearing this, Lian Yun also realized that the town now is different from the past.

The farmlands in the West are now almost filled with a variety of crops. Even growing wheat alone requires expansion, not to mention so many new crops.

Lian Yun thought about it and opened his skill bar.

Behind the [Farming] column, she saw a skill that had been lit up for a long time, but she had never tried it before—

[Land Improvement - Sacrifice a special-grade parsnip to transfer the land improvement ability to other plants with a 50% chance (this ability is heritable and decreases with the number of generations).]

Common windbreak has the function of fixing soil and regional wind and sand.

Special-grade parsnip can directly purify the soil and also has some of the characteristics of parsnip.

If this ability can be transferred to other plants, then these plants will also be endowed with strong vitality like it.

Everyone listened to Lian Yun’s new skills and thought about it together.

"If we want to do this quickly," Gerry said, "we should find plants with lots of seeds. That way, through their genetic abilities, the land-purifying plants can multiply."

Lian Yun nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

"However..." Lanner reminded, "Life needs to be tenacious, but not too tenacious."

"If it becomes too widespread, it will be difficult to control in the later stages. Once it exceeds our expectations, it will be difficult to recover."

Lian Yun said seriously, "You are right."

These plants need to have a short growth cycle, produce a lot of seeds but not be too prolific, and be widely planted...

At this time, a man walked into the tavern, excitedly sat down at the table next to Lian Yun, and ordered the most expensive dish in the tavern.

Lian Yun: "...Jin Jia?"

Jinjia turned around, surprised and delighted: "Sir?! Why are you here?"

Lian Yun smiled and said, "You just came back, why are you so happy? Did you get your salary?"

But she had just recently introduced Jinjia to Gary, and it wasn't Jinjia's payday yet.

She looked at Gerry and got confirmation.

Jinjia narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You don't know, sir, I just chose a career!"

"A writer! I never thought I could make a living from this."

Lian Yun looked up and saw that he had indeed reached the lowest professional level.

"Congratulations." Everyone smiled.

"Speaking of which," Lanna also spoke, looking at Lian Yun, "Sir, I seem to have reached the next level."

Um?

Lian Yun saw the Lv.56 above his head, then looked at his own Lv.30, and paused.

Lana instantly realized that Lian Yun had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "I was talking about occupation."

"Aren't you a knight?"

Lian Yun still remembers that alongside the high-attack profession of the knight is the shield warrior, which requires high defense; the warrior requires comprehensive physical fitness.

Jinjia subconsciously asked, "This thing called profession... has levels?!"

He had just touched the threshold, and Lanna had already reached the next step?!

Lanna explained calmly, "I also received it not long ago."

He pointed to the molten crystal tied around his waist and said, "The spirit inside asked me to choose my next career, but I haven't had time to tell you."

Lian Yun was also quite curious: "What options did it give you this time?"

“…It’s still an option.”

Just like last time, there was absolutely no choice.

"Paladin."

As Lanner spoke the words that confused everyone present, they all began to wonder what the difference was between this profession and a "knight".

The addition of the word "holy" makes it seem like an adjective, equivalent to a "bright" knight or a "noble" knight, and it seems to have no substantial effect.

Lian Yun opened the profession panel, and the explanation of the Paladin was indeed the same as that of the Knight, with nothing special about it.

Lian Yun helplessly spread his hands: "Looks like I can only figure it out on my own."

Speaking of professions, Lian Yun thought that there were more and more residents in the town recently, but there were only so many professional elves.

"Jinjia, how many sunflower seeds did you have when you chose your career?"

Jinjia thought for a moment and said, "When I went there, there was about one-fifth left. But I heard from people nearby that half of the remaining ones had never been touched."

According to a resident who spent a day watching the sunflowers, they didn't even tremble.

"Maybe it's not a professional elf, but just an ordinary sunflower seed." Lana expressed this idea.

Lian Yun suddenly thought of something.

"Sunflower... does it count as a plant that meets the criteria we just listed?"

A few people finished the food on the table and soon came to the sunflower seeds in front of the altar.

After testing in various ways, it was confirmed that these golden sunflower seeds are indeed just ordinary seeds, with no professional elves living in them.

They didn't expect to find the right plant so quickly.

Gary twirled his beard and nodded repeatedly. "In the future, my lord, you will definitely expand your influence. Professions will definitely not be limited to people in our town. More and more people will learn about professions, experience, and levels, and these things will happen to them."

People in this world are generally receptive to new things. What they really need to consider is how to meet the huge demand for occupations among the residents.

"If the powers of the golden sunflower and the wind parsnip were combined..."

As Lian Yun spoke, everyone could guess the result.

It's perfect.

"We don't know yet whether the number of professional elves in Sunflower is fixed."

"If the number of spirits in this sunflower were the same as the original population of the town, then the sunflowers we planted in the wilderness wouldn't be wasted."

There are no high-density activity tracks of people around, and in contrast, sunflowers are just ordinary plants.

Only when planted in the center of a town or next to a building like an altar will it be accompanied by a professional elf.

Of course, the most important thing is——

"Whether it will succeed."

The success rate of the skill [Land Improvement] is 50%, which is half the chance. Lian Yun is not sure whether it will succeed.

Gary had already sent someone to move the special-grade parsnip, and Lian Yun also took a sunflower seed from the sunflower.

All the lucky cards I got before have been used up in the Elf Forest.

The rest depends on fate.
