Over the next three days, Ye Chen and Fatty began a frenzied expansion and a sweep of the surrounding meteorites.
The fastest way to acquire resources is by killing a large number of dark creatures.
The remaining meteorite cores can be used to expand territory, meteorites can be used to create stone golems, and the corpses of dark creatures such as dire wolves can become food for goblins.
The only thing that gave the two of them a headache was how quickly the fat man could influence the goblins.
Perhaps due to recruiting too many at once, the fat man's persuasion of the goblins was very ineffective this time. It took him two whole days to completely persuade (brainwash) these goblins and turn them into obedient workers.
However, they only had one day left to create the stone golems.
"You bastard, you haven't studied enough! When we get back to Earth, you'd better buy a few more books and read them!" Ye Chen complained helplessly as he watched the group of goblins finally get to work.
In just two days, he had already cleared four meteorites, but unexpectedly, the goblins held him back, and it wasn't until now that he had completely tamed them.
"I didn't expect this either. Recruiting two hundred goblins at once is a first for me!" the fat man said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He had been exhausted these past two days.
However, the results were still remarkable. He tamed more than two hundred goblins in one go, and now he could finally catch his breath.
"The scale is still too small. Next time, let's try taming several thousand together!" Ye Chen joked.
However, the goblins can start working now, which is a good thing no matter what. Even if it's only for a day, they can still make seventy or eighty stone golems.
The problem is where to put all these stone golems. Their territory is only so big, and the fat man's side has basically no crops left. They rely entirely on Ye Chen's side for food.
"Let's look around and see if we can find another meteorite so we can expand your territory a bit more," Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment.
As they drew closer to the trade fair, they encountered fewer and fewer meteorites, but more other lords instead.
Some transactions were made in advance, but the transaction amounts were not large, and they could only exchange for some basic crops.
"My lord, look at this!" Suddenly, Ye Xi handed a potato to Ye Chen, looked down at it, and immediately his face lit up with joy.
Potato (Level 1)
Potatoes that have undergone careful cultivation and are upgraded can improve physical condition and have a slight effect on enhancing physical attributes if consumed regularly.
"It's advanced?" Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise. The potato, which only had a growth cycle of 12 hours, had finally advanced after nearly 10 days of cultivation, thanks to the fertile soil and the careful nurturing of many of its relatives.
"Yes, I just found it, but there's only one. It will probably take some time before we can plant it on a large scale," Ye Xi nodded and said.
The planting of crops has a probability of advancing, but the probability is extremely low. It's okay to go from level 0 to level 1, but going further is almost impossible.
"It's alright, potatoes grow quickly and reproduce through root systems. One potato is enough to grow a small patch! It will expand rapidly in no time," Ye Chen said nonchalantly.
The difficulty in advancing crops lies in the advancement itself, not in the planting process.
Unless it's a race completely inept at farming, as long as they can keep this crop alive, the only difference is how many survive.
"Well, I plan to clear out a small area in the fertile soil to plant level 1 potatoes, and try to replace those level 0 potatoes as soon as possible."
"Yes, we can gradually phase out Tier 0 crops and focus on Tier 1 crops instead."
Ye Chen looked at the vast expanse of crops on the territory and said, "Tier 0 crops can only fill our stomachs, while Tier 1 crops are the true food for the lord and his kin."
Having consumed large amounts of Tier 1 cabbage these past few days, he has clearly felt an increase in his mental strength, which has now reached 4 points from the initial 3 points.
“Okay! By the way, the thorn vines have also started to spread along the edge of the territory. This plant grows very fast and has already covered one-tenth of the territory, and the speed is still accelerating. Should we try to control it a little?” Ye Xi continued.
"No need, let it grow freely for now. Just make sure it doesn't cover our territory and affect our crops and our living space," Ye Chen said.
Thorn vines, covered in barbs and as hard as iron, are excellent defensive plants for any territory.
However, this is not a game, and the thorn vines cannot only grow along the edge of the territory. Therefore, controlling the growth of the thorn vines is a very troublesome matter.
Ordinary lords have no ability to control plants, so planting thorn vines would be very troublesome. Fortunately, Ye Chen did not have this worry.
After reporting on the situation in the territory, Ye Xi finally left, and Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't realize it before, but now that it's only such a small territory, managing it is already giving me a headache!" Ye Chen thought helplessly.
The two continued to advance towards the location provided by the Myriad Things Pavilion. By the afternoon of the third day, the meteorites were no longer visible, but other lords could be seen everywhere.
Floating islands drifted past the two of them, and there were also groups of three or five floating islands traveling together.
Upon arriving here, we were essentially on the edge of the trade fair, and many lords had already set up stalls and started trading ahead of schedule.
