Free-range chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons must all be kept in enclosures.
Otherwise, no matter what you plant, these birds will dig it out and eat it.
At the Raptor Farm, Xia Chuhe had two major harvests.
One batch of poultry, whose differentiation had just ended but not yet completed, was poured into the mixer.
One wave occurred when the central building was destroyed and all special powers disappeared.
The two rounds of bargain hunting brought Xia Chuhe a total of 99 chickens, 121 ducks, 98 pigeons and 66 geese.
After removing the chickens that distracted the vultures in the instance and the poultry sold to Five Star Company, Xia Chuhe still has 74 chickens, 100 ducks, 88 pigeons and 50 geese left.
According to the farm's recommendations, each poultry pen can house about 20 chickens, ducks, and geese, and each pigeon coop can house 3-4 pigeons.
Building chicken, duck, and goose pens, pigeon coops, and digging a pond cost a total of 620,000 points.
The farm began constructing a habitat for the poultry. Xia Chuhe glanced at the time; it would only take 57 minutes. Followers with a loyalty level greater than 60 could accelerate the construction.
Xia Chuhe: ...Three minutes, it's better than nothing.
While we were at it, we built the bakery as well. The construction time was 1 day and 21 hours.
This time it was reduced by three hours.
Xia Chuhe didn't bother with the wheat that had been ravaged in the field, leaving only a little bit, treating it as food for the poultry for the next two days.
The courtyard was empty, without the traps of the dungeon or the chaos of reality.
The only sound was the rustling of sand and wind hitting the windproof cover, a sound that lulled one to sleep.
Xia Chuhe thought she wouldn't be able to sleep on her first night alone in the courtyard. But to her surprise, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Outside the courtyard, as Xia Chuhe entered, there was another person outside.
She wore an earth-yellow robe, which could protect her from the wind and sand and also provided sufficient concealment.
She waited outside for a long time, until the sandstorm buried half of her calves.
The sky grew dark, and the sandstorm gradually subsided.
She pulled her calves out of the yellow sand and slowly walked to Xia Chuhe's courtyard.
She stroked the windproof cover of the small courtyard.
Xia Chuhe now has a house.
Once you have a house, you'll live there by yourself, and living alone will gradually distance you from her until you finally break up with her completely.
She pulled an iron rod from her hair and pressed the tip against the windproof shield.
The windproof cover is of average quality and needs to be replaced every three to five years on average.
If he attacks with all his might, Xia Chuhe won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
The wind and sand would blow into the house, waking the summer farmers from their chores.
The tip of the stick grazed the windproof cover lightly, leaving a mark less noticeable than a grain of sand.
She let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
The wind behind her gently covered her footprints.
...
The next morning, Xia Chuhe slept until he woke up naturally.
Although the house is above ground, it is connected to the underground base's water and electricity, making electricity very convenient, but water usage needs to be conserved because water bills are very expensive.
Everyday water undergoes multiple filtration processes, which is costly and therefore expensive.
After washing up, Xia Chuhe continued tending to the farm.
The poultry pens have all been built, two neat rows of them.
The row of houses closest to the pond consists of duck and goose sheds, while the ones furthest from the water are chicken coops and pigeon cages.
Once the poultry were herded into their pens, the farm became quiet and clean.
A new letter arrived at the farm—
Chickens and ducks return to their roosts, unlocking a new building: the composting pond (100,000 points).
Xia Chuhe: ...
It looks so real.
If Xia Chuhe hadn't personally witnessed the land recover completely after the wheat harvest, he would have truly believed that the farm had no ability to heal itself.
If a plant can clean itself and recover, why would it do this? It can only mean that the farm wants Xia Chuhe to get some farmyard manure or biogas.
Anyway, I have extra money on hand, so I'll build it.
While tending to the farm and cleaning up manure, Xia Chuhe casually picked up quite a few chicken, duck, goose, and pigeon eggs in some nooks and crannies. A rough count revealed that there were more than forty eggs.
It seems we'll need to find some time to set aside some egg-laying and breeding poultry.
Only through continuous renewal can development occur.
Finally, the wheat was harvested.
Xia Chuhe only harvested a small handful of wheat, less than the seeds he had planted.
Summer hoeing placed the wheat straw next to the manure pile so that it could be composted together.
Besides the four plots reserved for apple trees, there were twelve more plots. Xia Chuhe took out four plots each to plant wheat, corn, and soybeans.
Wheat takes two days to mature, corn five days, and soybeans ten days.
It has nothing to do with the time when plants mature in the real world.
I don't know how the farm calculates it.
But no matter how you calculate it, it's all beneficial to Xia Chuhe.
After finishing managing the entire farm, Xia Chuhe felt a sense of crisis.
There are too many poultry; we don't grow enough to eat.
Back at the Raptor Academy, Xia Chuhe hadn't packed much feed because he was worried about the quality of the feed. Now, the feed and wheat were almost gone, and the poultry would go hungry in a couple of days at most.
Especially that beautiful useless parrot, a meter long, eats a ton of food, but is utterly useless.
Xia Chuhe wanted to sell it.
The useless parrot was clever; it knew Xia Chuhe didn't like it, so it always hid in a corner to minimize its presence.
Except when eating...
Other poultry are not even as long as an arm, but this one is twice the size of them, yet it eats a lot.
Xia Chuhe searched for the parrot for a while but couldn't find it, so he had to give up for the time being.
When his time alone was over, Xia Chuhe looked up at his watch.
...
She only informed Lu Dangui about the house purchase.
Lu Dangui immediately transferred 24,000 points to Xia Chuhe.
Xia Chuhe silently calculated that it was exactly the price of a single room in a hotel for a month.
According to this calculation, it would cost nearly 290,000 yuan a year.
This house only cost a little over a million...
Besides, hotel stays are charged by the day, and you don't stay every day; you might need to run dungeons frequently.
Lu Dangui gave Xia Chuhe no room to refuse: "I have a very small room that I can stay in. Stay for a month first."
Although Xia Chuhe made a large sum of money, after deducting the money spent on hiring a hitman, buying a house to raise chickens, and purchasing various equipment, the remaining money was simply not enough to share with the others.
She is currently heavily indebted.
Collect rent and provide some subsidies.
But Xia Chuhe felt guilty about taking too much, so he didn't leave Lu Danggui much leeway: "Six months, that's settled."
The two of them talked to each other and decided that Lu Dangui would become Xia Chuhe's roommate.
