Chapter 305: Harmony is the Most Valuable Due to
historical issues, Yunzhong Temple is still a broken world. In the dry and rainless desert environment, only special ethnic groups like the Wuji people can adapt widely and run around.
Most life requires water and food.
Lu Yao already had some experience in adding new rules, so it was not difficult to create a few more artificial lakes outside. However, these small lakes could not form flowing rivers and become self-evolving water sources.
This involves a more complex geographical structure at a higher level, which requires both the support of the weather and the feedback from the underground environment, which Lu Yao cannot do now.
He could only start from the simpler ground.
How can we make the water flow, expand the scope of the oasis, and further expand the external radiation energy of the sand city?
This is the current pain point of Sand City.
The residents of Sand City cannot do it on their own.
Although the elves and squirrels are very energetic, their individual efforts seem too insignificant in the face of the water shortage here. They are able to maintain the green plants in the city, but there has been no progress in the external transformation.
The solution Lu Yao thought of was cactus.
Cactus is a desert plant that can store a certain amount of water and can adapt to the harsh local climate better than pine trees and symbiotic forests.
It is not enough to rely on ordinary cacti. This plant must have more magical powers so that it can take root in the Gobi Desert better and become the vanguard of the Yao clan and Sand City in transforming the desert.
Lu Yao opened the prop column and considered them one by one from top to bottom.
His gaze rested on the [Branches of Disaster].
This fire item is a sacrifice presented by the elves. It has a certain chance of giving birth to water elemental disaster beasts, but the prerequisite is that they must survive in water.
Unfortunately, what we need now is to store water rather than use it.
Lu Yao continued to flip down, and soon he locked onto the fire props that came with the cacti.
【Lacquer box with silver buckle】
This is Yaocheng's sacrifice to the temple. Its ability is to slowly restore the life or durability of the items in the box, which is equivalent to a small repair device.
Its capabilities are more suitable for today's needs than those of Disaster Sprawl.
After Lu Yao selected it, he fused it with the cactus.
The fire props and creatures in the box pulled back in a straight line, extending into a new box, in which a green figure emerged.
The cactus that was integrated into the fire prop changed its appearance. Its body became almost human-shaped, and there was a small bunch of red flowers on its head that looked like a small hat.
In the pixel style, it has a pair of hole eyes and a small mouth.
The cactus was carrying a wooden box on its back and had short legs, looking like a student on his way to school.
The new cactus can grant many abilities, but you can only choose one of the positive and negative abilities.
Positive abilities include: [Wisdom], [Poisoning], [Camouflage], [Off-road], and [Self-repair].
Negative traits include: [cowardly], [cowardly], [fragile], and [suspicious].
Lu Yao chose [Wisdom].
Off-roading is good, but Sand City has land boats, and will soon have steam carriages, and long-distance running capabilities are not very useful compared to these two vehicles.
Self-repair should be an ability derived from the [Silver Buckle Lacquer Box], but its long-term value is not high.
Of course, choose wisdom, a characteristic with huge potential.
Lu Yao didn't want any of the negative characteristics and just pulled them out.
After he decided on the official name, a completely new species that had never existed before appeared.
…
【Back box cactus LV1】
HP: 41/41 Mana: 1/1 Damage: 2 Defense: 2 Speed: 6 [Wisdom]
【Drought resistant】
It can adapt to arid environments, store water in its body, and survive for 30 days without water.
…
Subtitles appear on the simulator.
【Please select the world in which you want to place this species. 】
Lu Yao clicked on Yunzhong Temple.
Thus, this extraordinary life appeared outside the Sand City.
Although the box cactus can move independently, most of the time it is rooted in the sand like ordinary cacti.
What makes them different from traditional cacti is that if they sense a lack of water, they will run to the artificial lake and drink water in big gulps.
Only when they start moving do the spikes on their bodies wrap around to form a box shape.
Most of the cacti are quiet by nature and very passive in external communication. If no one comes to look for them, they can stay still for a month, continuing the traditional life of cacti.
Slymod set the example.
He guides and encourages the citizens of Shacheng to deal with the back-box cactus.
First of all, bring some small gifts, anything is fine, to express your desire to get to know the cactus.
The box-carrying cactus is intelligent. Even though it cannot understand the Yao language, it can understand kindness.
If a cactus doesn't hate a person, it will wave at the person to express its gratitude.
Next, you need to prepare [Blast Furnace Honey Wine], and use [Intimate] method to make both parties understand each other. After becoming friends with the cactus, it will be happy to help every friend.
Gradually, the residents of Sand City adapted to the existence of the back-box cactus.
They are derived from cacti, but they do not leave the cactus group. They like to live and inhabit in dry deserts.
After a while, Slymod announced a decision outside the temple: "Citizens, Sand City has reached a formal cooperation with more than thirty box-carrying cacti. They will become the new residents of Sand City."
"Next, they will join us in planting cacti around us and open up new oases."
"Now I declare that the Northern Oasis Renovation Plan has officially begun!"
The North Renovation Plan aims to start from the north outside the desert city and first develop an oasis as a living area outside the city, which will also serve as a pilot for future large-scale desert transformation.
Lu Yao saw that the back-box cactus indeed played a key role in the entire North Reform Project.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They have great endurance. After slightly processing the fruits or tubers of the cactus, burying them in the sand, and then watering them slightly, the cactus can grow.
Other workers, such as squirrels and elves, not to mention their planting efficiency, will have to rest for a long time due to lack of water and fatigue after being busy for a while.
Under the harsh sun, the box-carving cacti are even more energetic.
They like sunlight.
At night, the cactus with a box on its back becomes depressed, as if a heavy iron block is tied to its body, and its steps become very slow.
At this time, the squirrels and elves become active, and the coolness allows them to work longer.
In order to increase the enthusiasm of the box-carrying cactus, Slemmod came up with an idea.
He ordered several hanging lamps from the lamp maker, and equipped them with a gas stove to artificially create light and heat. The light from the hanging lamps is naturally not comparable to sunlight, but it can at least make the cacti feel the light, and the temperature from the gas stove is very good for refreshing the cacti.
During the Beijing Reform, new uses for cacti were developed.
“…If you are extremely thirsty in the desert and are about to die of thirst, you can use cactus to replenish water.”
The box-back cactus gets some water by sticking its spines into the cactus, and other residents who need water follow suit.
This turns the cactus into a mobile water storage point, like a pillar of life rooted in the barren desert, allowing the Yao people to build roads and surrounding supporting facilities based on them.
As these thorny green plants continued to spread outside the city, the area that the residents of Sand City could step into became farther and farther.
In addition to being hired by Sand City to carry out desert transformation, the Back-Box Cactus has also received unanimous praise from the people of Wuji.
Most of the Wuji people travel alone by boat to conduct underground exploration and mapping deep in the desert. However, when traveling alone, it is inevitable that they will forget things and there are many inconveniences.
But the residents of Sand City cannot leave the city to live. Even for extraordinary beings, most of them will lose consciousness after seven days of lack of water and fall into an extremely dangerous situation. Food supply is also a big problem.
The box-carrying cactus became the best helper of the Uji people.
They are quiet and reliable, can endure loneliness, are sensitive to sunlight and temperature, and can go without water for thirty days and can survive as long as there is sunlight.
The Uji people can carry cacti into the deepest part of the desert. When doing underground surveys, they place a backpack of cacti and some survival supplies on the sand dunes on the ground - not only can they survive, but they can also serve as a natural coordinate.
Seeing the cacti in the backpack glowing and radiating heat, Lu Yao couldn't help but look at the cup of coconut juice and the bowl of evenly chopped coconut flesh.
The cactus family are indeed good helpers.
At this time, Slymod's clone reported: "My Lord God, the first batch of applicants from the Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom have arrived, and I am currently examining them."
Lu Yao switched to the divine kingdom adhesive body.
At the foot of the Pillar Mountain, Slymod got off the steam carriage and looked at the first applicant.
Lu Yao took a look.
This is not an acquaintance.
The first warrior below the apostles of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, Bamboo Tiger.
"I'm pretty good at fighting. I want to go to Sand City for further training. I'm good at... fighting."
Zhu Hu was inexplicably nervous today and spoke stutteringly.
"I'm sorry, Sand City doesn't need pure combatants right now. We are a city that values peace. The martial arts tournament is just a competition event, not meant to create disputes and violence."
Slymod asked him, "What else are you good at?"
Zhuhu thought for a while and said hesitantly, "I can also...plant bamboo, cut bamboo, cut bamboo and build bamboo houses."
"Congratulations! You are the talent we want. Welcome to Sand City..."
Slymod shook his hand.
"Really?"
Taketora was still a little slow to react, a question mark appeared above his head, and then turned into a smiley face.
In this way, the bravest warrior of Zhulu Kingdom entered Sand City to work under the name of a bamboo builder.
