After autumn arrives, the colors of the microcosm begin to change.
Both Yebolin and Tianyin Mountain Range showed obvious color changes, somewhat similar to when Chen Yang first entered the Micro Realm.
Chen Yang entered the Micro Realm around this time of year.
It's quite astonishing that Microworld has developed to this point in just one year.
Both aquaculture and planting are progressing steadily. The camp has grown to the size of a small village, and there is also a backup base on the island in the middle of the lake. The western boundary river can also be used for off-season planting with the camp.
They have gone from merely surviving to truly living.
After the camp expansion was completed, they began making some furniture.
Chairs and tables are necessary, and in addition, cabinets and shelves are also needed.
Moreover, Chen Yang plans to build a stove for each household. Wang Bing can no longer cook all the dishes by himself, and it's about time to leave the era of communal cooking.
In fact, quite a few people are willing to cook for themselves. For example, Jiang Bo's mother mentioned it to Chen Yang.
Apart from a few people at the West Boundary River and the island in the middle of the lake, everyone else ate at the campsite. Wang Bing and Li Su'er were mainly responsible for cooking, and the others would often help out.
With the number of people increasing, it's no longer appropriate for everyone to crowd together to eat. So Chen Yang changed the method.
Those who live in a separate house should cook for themselves, while others should still eat together.
This wouldn't be a problem for most people. For example, Chen Yang's parents have moved to the windmill mill for easier management of the fishpond and often cook for themselves.
Ye Wu's family was also very happy. Although Wang Bing and Li Su'er's cooking was really delicious, they felt that cooking for themselves was more like a real life.
The only slightly troublesome family was Ding Qihan's, because Lu Lin's cooking was simply a disaster, and Ding Qihan wasn't much better. In the end, it was his younger sister Ding Aiqi who took on the responsibility and learned to cook with Li Su'er, and then cooked at home every day.
Of course, separating the kitchens made the distribution of ingredients more complicated. Chen Yang entrusted this to Wang Bing.
The animals in the time acceleration zone are still doing a great job, reproducing like crazy, and several generations have already passed.
After reducing their hunting activity, they also removed some of their traps.
However, the remaining portion often yields a harvest, so they are not short of meat. Generally speaking, they will kill a sheep or a cow about every two weeks, while they kill small animals such as chickens, ducks, and rabbits more frequently.
If you hunt some large animals, this cycle will be a little longer, because in the time acceleration zone, the animals' growth rate can keep up with their needs.
Therefore, they no longer need to hunt much. The reason they still keep traps is simply so that they can change things up sometimes.
After all, domesticated animals don't get as much exercise as wild animals, and their meat quality isn't as good either.
The animals roaming freely on the island in the middle of the lake are doing quite well. They only need to be fed occasionally, and otherwise don't require much care.
The Xindu camp doesn't have those conditions. These animals are quite wild and not suitable for free-range grazing. They can only be grazed after two or three generations. Right now, they still need to be fed.
Feeding the animals at the camp still requires effort, but fortunately there's plenty of grass this season, so it doesn't take much care of them.
In winter, they plan to send some of the hay to the island in the middle of the lake for further breeding. The hay they have collected is not enough to feed so many animals.
Safety within the camp is no longer a major concern.
Under the tutelage of the lucky leopard cubs, they have successfully evolved into sheep-herding leopards. Once they grow a little older, no animal will dare to approach the camp. Leopards have keen senses, so guarding the camp will be no problem at all.
There are now three leopards in the camp, along with Lucky and Little Black, so it's quite peaceful. The smell alone could scare away a whole bunch of people.
In the past, the lucky one would sometimes leave, and Little Black wasn't there every day, but now with three more little leopards, there's nothing to worry about anymore.
These three leopard cubs are still quite mischievous; they're practically the troublemakers of the camp, having killed several chickens, ducks, and rabbits.
Fortunately, with Lucky and Little Black around, they quickly learned that the animals inside the camp were the reserve, while the animals outside the camp were the ones they could eat directly.
The three leopard cubs grew faster than expected because they often darted around and would sneak into the time acceleration zone when no one was looking, so their growth rate was astonishing.
And now, the European Emperor is practically their father.
Generally, leopards are taught hunting skills by their mothers, but their mothers were killed for attacking the camp, so the leopard took on this task.
However, the leopard cubs can climb trees, a skill that even the lucky one lacks. But the lucky one is very clever; he even teaches the cubs to flank from the trees while he and Little Black attack from the ground.
With the cooperation of several animals, the hunting results were amazing. The camp did not kill any farmed animals during this period, and all of them were taken care of by the European Emperor and his companions.
The maturity of the European Emperor saved Chen Yang a lot of trouble, but the maturity of Chen Liu left Chen Yang feeling quite helpless.
They had already prevented Chen Liu from studying, but Chen Liu's progress was still quite remarkable.
He's only five years old, but his behavior and mannerisms are no different from those of a teenage boy, and in some ways he's even more mature.
When Chen Liu first entered the Micro Realm, he still seemed a bit naive, but with each passing day in the Micro Realm, his naivety gradually diminished.
This made Chen Yang a little worried. If things continued like this, would Chen Liu still be able to have a healthy and happy childhood?
Chen Liu would occasionally consult Weng Ji on some very professional biological questions, and Weng Ji was always impressed by his talent.
"Dad, it seems like you and Mom are both worried that I'm growing up too fast, right?"
Xiao Chenliu keenly sensed Chen Yang and Mo Xi's worries and took the initiative to speak to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang nodded helplessly.
Chen Liu scratched his head and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I can't exactly knock myself silly. Actually, I'm quite happy. It's just that you're worried I don't have any friends my age. I do have a solution."
Chen Yang asked curiously, "What method?"
“A gifted training program in China invited me. There are many people my age there, and they are not stupid. I think I can go there.”
What kind of training course?
"You should ask your mom. I don't know. She doesn't want me to go. She took the invitation. I only glimpsed a little bit," Chen Liu said, blinking.
"You little rascal, you don't dare ask your mother yourself, so you take advantage of your father," Chen Yang laughed.
“But isn’t this indeed a very good solution?” Chen Liu said.
Chen Yang nodded and, together with Chen Liu, went to find Mo Xi. When Mo Xi learned of their plan, she glared at Chen Liu, who stuck out his tongue.
Mo Xi had no choice but to tell Chen Yang the contents of the invitation.
