Chapter 12: Land Reclamation

The stone axe and hoe given by the system are of the same quality, with a durability of only 30 and an attack power of only 15.

Carrying a hoe, he came to the wasteland in front of the house. The first thing he did was to determine the location to be cultivated, and then pull out the weeds on the ground.

Among these weeds, there were some wild vegetables that Shu Lingyi had seen before, or some that were non-toxic. The few that were poisonous, Shu Lingyi picked them out and threw them away.

She collected all the non-toxic ones. Food was scarce right now. Although she didn't need to eat them, it might not be the case for many other players.

After pulling for more than half an hour, Shu Ling harvested a total of 120 weeds.

Then she started to clear the soil again and again. She had never done this kind of farm work before, and soon she felt her hands were numb.

However, Shu Lingyi had a small problem. For example, the durability of the hoe in her hand was not high, so she had to make the durability of the hoe complete before she could rest.

"Hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon." The girl's cheeks were flushed and a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on her face. Even the back of her clothes was soaked with sweat.

The feeling of fullness also decreased along with the durability of the hoe. Finally, with the last blow, the hoe in his hand turned into a spot of light and dissipated. Shu Ling took a look at his feeling of fullness and it became 20 points.

Looking at the fields that I have cultivated with my own hands along the way, I feel a sense of accomplishment. The next step is to use the monster feces to synthesize farmland.

"Let's go back and drink some water first." Shu Ling let out a long sigh, and returned to the house. The water temperature on the cooking rack had already dropped, so he happily took two big gulps.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, which meant it would be dark in two hours.

Shu Lingyi didn't dare to waste time, so she took both the first-level monster feces and the second-level monster feces with her. She didn't know the rules of synthesis, so she just took them all with her.

Wheat is a first-level crop. Walking back to the wasteland, she began to choose synthetic farmland and sprinkled some first-level monster feces into it. The small piece of soil under her feet suddenly became much darker in color.

[Level 1 farmland: soil with good fertility, can grow level 1 crops, such as soybeans, wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage, etc. Fertility: 100. ]

Looking at this tiny piece of soil, which only looked half a meter long and wide, she took out the wheat seeds. Only one wheat seed was allowed to be planted in a field!

Shu Ling saw that the fertility of the soil decreased by 10 points after planting, and this piece of land could only be planted ten times!

Although there seemed to be such a setting in the dream, it was quite similar, so Shu Lingyi slowly accepted it.

She consumed 3 pieces of first-level monster feces to synthesize three pieces of farmland, forming a large square farmland, about one square meter in size, with four small first-level farmlands on it.

Shu Ling planted wheat seeds, and then synthesized eight first-level farmlands along a straight line, about three square meters, and consumed 12 first-level monster feces and 10 wheat seeds to plant them all.

The Shulingyi at the back was synthesized into eight second-level farmlands, which are temporarily idle.

She currently has a total of five square meters of land, and after all this work, there are still 13 pieces of level one monster feces and 2 pieces of level two monster feces left.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead. It takes 46 hours for wheat to mature, which is about two days.

That means the harvest can be ready at 1 p.m. on the 14th, and Shu Lingyi is still satisfied.

Shu Lingyi, who was filled with a sense of crisis, hurried back and placed the monster's feces away. She sent a message to Luo Zhiqing.

[Yi Ling]: "Zhi Qing, are you still going to fetch water? You have to boil the water before you can drink it, otherwise you will get sick."

[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "But I don't have a water purifier, and I don't have anything suitable for boiling water!"

Speaking of this, Shu Lingyi was originally thinking whether Luo Zhiqing would be lucky enough to develop a water purifier.

[Yi Ling]: "They say that the protagonist of flowing water is the iron water purifier, why is it that we don't have one here? Don't you have such good luck and don't encounter one?"

Luo Zhiqing rolled her eyes. She herself was worried about the remaining mineral water: "You think it's a nice idea. I'm worried about how to get pure water to drink."

[Yi Ling]: "Hey, I got a cooking rack today that can be used to boil some water. I'll give you some when the time comes. Just put it in your empty mineral water bottle."

Luo Zhiqing, who was worried about this, saw the news and her eyes lit up. She wanted to hug Shu Ling and cling to him through the screen: "I knew hugging Yi Yi's thighs would be the best!"

Shu Lingyi looked at the materials needed to upgrade the thatched hut in the warehouse. She currently only had 120 pieces of dead grass and 39 pieces of wood, but she used 20 pieces to make the cooking rack.

"There is only one hour left. Hurry up and collect all the materials for upgrading and build the thatched hut overnight." Shu Ling did what he said and went out with his copper axe.

Then I went around to pick up dead grass and chopped down two thick trees, obtaining 16 pieces of wood and 3 pieces of resin.

At about 3:40, the sky became gray, but at this time Shu Ling came out with a dry grass*60. There was not much time left for her, so she had no choice but to rush back home in a hurry.

"Ah... I'm only 20* of dead grass away from upgrading. What a pity." Shu Lingyi was very annoyed. The straw hut was only barely usable after being repaired.

She must build the wooden house as soon as possible to be safe!

As soon as she got home, the sky had already darkened. Shu Lingyi quickly transferred the dry wood and wood in her portable space to the indoor warehouse.

Then take the weeds out of the indoor warehouse and simply rinse the soil around the roots with water.

She used an empty bamboo tube to hold the boiled and cooled water, and then put the weeds one by one into the stone pot to cook. She just diluted the water and boiled them directly without adding salt. She planned to take them out after they were cooked and put them in the trading center.

While waiting for the weed to cook, she had time to check the news on the public screen. Many people were shocked by the sudden darkness.

"What's going on! Why is it getting dark already?!"

"Go home quickly, I'm so scared... It was only dark at five o'clock yesterday, and it's only four o'clock now."

[Yi Ling]: "I suspect the time of daybreak will be shortened. It was five o'clock yesterday, four o'clock today, and maybe three o'clock tomorrow."

"No way! Are you kidding me? If this continues for a few days, there won't be no daylight at all."

"Oh my god, I heard the sound of a wild animal... Please save my child, my legs are going weak..."

It got dark unexpectedly, and those who had left home for a certain distance and couldn't get back were suddenly panicked.

As the monsters came out to hunt, danger came quietly, leaving them no chance to prepare! For example, the player who said his legs were weak had three hungry wolves with green eyes behind him.
