Chapter 11 - The Power Of Nature, Cultivating Farmland

n
nBack to the wooden house.
nMcgee, who had been busy the whole morning, lay on the straw mat, not wanting to move at all.
nFeeling the hard straw mat under him, Mcgee thought about the biting cold wind last night.
nThe three-day novice protection period had already passed by more than half, and time was tight. Mcgee could only seize the moment and prepare everything as best as possible to face the unknown dangers.
nLooking down at his ragged clothes, Mcgee decided to make himself a woolen sweater first.
nWool coat blueprint.
nRequired items: Sheepskin (5
/1)
n
"Do you want to learn?
"
nThe system notification sounded.
nMcgee said without hesitation,
"Learn!
"
n
"System notification: You have used the wool coat blueprint and learned the method to make the wool coat.
"
nMcgee took out all the sheepskin again and read silently,
n
"Make the wool coat.
"
nA whole white light lit up and surrounded the sheepskin.
n
"System Notification: You have successfully made the wool coat × 5.
"
nThe mysterious white light disappeared, and five equally sized wool coats appeared in front of Mcgee.
nMcgee picked one up and looked at it carefully.
nThe wool coat was very soft, and the system processed the leather without the slightest smell of mutton.
nMost importantly, the fur was good at keeping warm!
nBut it was noon now, so Mcgee did not plan on putting it on now, and he put it away.
nLooking at the straw mat on the ground, Mcgee frowned.
nThen he took out another drawing.
nThe blueprint for making a comfortable bed.
nRequired items: Cowhide (4
/2), sheepskin (12
/4), Wood (1356
/1000).
n
"Do you want to study?
"
nMcgee looked at the straw mat on the ground and did not hesitate to study the blueprint!
nA burst of white light lit up. After a moment, a small wooden house appeared with a large bed made of brown cowhide and wood.
nThe moment he saw the big bed.
nMcgee could not wait to lie down and enjoy the long-lost softness and comfort.
nHe could not help but sigh,
"So comfortable!
"
nAt this time, the little Spirit Fox could not help but jump up.
nIt also curled up beside Mcgee with a face of enjoyment.
nMcgee looked at the little Spirit Fox in front of him and suddenly remembered that he had not activated the second attribute for it yet.
nSo Mcgee quickly took out the thumb-sized core crystal that was constantly emitting emerald green light from his inventory.
nWhen the little Spirit Fox saw the core crystal, it immediately squatted down beside Mcgee and kept wagging its big furry tail behind it.
nMcgee gently threw the grass-type core crystal in his hand toward the little spirit Fox and said,
n
"This is your reward!
"
nThe little Spirit Fox jumped up and swallowed the grass-type crystal core in one gulp.
nJust like last time, the little Spirit Fox fell into a deep sleep after her expression twisted in pain.
nA layer of emerald-green barrier wrapped around the little Spirit Fox like a chrysalis.
nA moment later.
n
"Meoruw!
"
nA lazy cry sounded.
nThe barrier on the little Spirit Fox's body suddenly disappeared.
nA second tail grew out from behind the little Spirit Fox, and the entire tail appeared emerald green.
nAt the same time, one of the little Spirit Fox's pupils also turned emerald green.
n
"System Notification: Your little Spirit Fox taming beast has successfully awakened its second attribute, grass attribute, and obtained a new skill, 'Force of Nature'!
"
n
"System Notification: Your little Spirit Fox's loyalty 5.
"
nSystem Notification: Currently, your tamed beast has defeated 99% of other tamed beasts. Please continue to work hard to maintain your advantage!
nAfter Mcgee heard it, he quickly opened the little Spirit Fox's attribute panel. The attributes on it had indeed changed.
nName: Dual-Element Spirit Fox
nLevel: Lvl 2
nAttributes: Fire, grass!
nSkills: Bite, claw attack, Red Flame, power of nature!
nRed Flame: Summons a cluster of blazing flames. When it hits the enemy, it will cause an explosion and burn effect.
nPower of Nature: Spirit Fox is a natural-born child of the forest. After using the power of nature, it can rapidly increase the growth rate of plants. It can also, to a certain extent, pacify the frightened tameable beast.
nNumber of uses today: 1
nHidden attribute: Quality: Silver
nUnactivated attribute: Water!
nLoyalty: 75
nLikes: Likes hunting, adventuring, and playing.
nAdvantages: High evolution potential, strong enough early attack.
nAfter seeing the little Spirit Fox's new skill, Mcgee was immediately overjoyed.
nThis time, he could finally start his own farming journey.
nA blueprint suddenly appeared in Mcgee's hand.
nMcgee turned his head and said to the little Spirit Fox,
"Let's go.
"
n...
nMcgee brought the little Spirit Fox to the wasteland behind the wooden house.
nOn this wasteland, there were many broad-leaved trees, seriously obstructing the vision of the surrounding area.
nTo better observe the surrounding situation, to avoid the tameable beats hiding within to ambush him.
nTherefore, Mcgee decided to turn this place into a piece of farmland.
nMcgee raised the blueprint in his hand.
nBasic Farmland Blueprint: After use, it will open up a piece of the lowest level farmland, which can grow some simple crops.
nAfter confirming that he had selected the forest, Mcgee said in a low voice,
n
"Use the blueprint!
"
n
"System Notification: You have used the basic farmland blueprint. The farmland is opening up.
"
nA huge white barrier descended from the sky and instantly covered the entire forest.
nThe small forest immediately underwent an earth-shattering change.
nThe trees fell to the ground one after another, and the weeds were uprooted. Then, it started to drizzle again. The land within the barrier instantly started to ferment and expand like dough.
nWhen all the dust settled, and the barrier disappeared, the land had already been plowed.
nHowever, there were still many weeds and trees on the land that had been plowed.
nMcgee looked at a large amount of debris in the farmland and said with a headache,
"With so many weeds and trees, it's obviously unrealistic to rely on one's own manpower to move them.
"
nAfter thinking for a while, Mcgee decided to burn the weeds on the spot.
nAfter the weeds were burned, the ashes of the plants could be used to fertilize the land. He knew this as he read that ancient people would plow and burn the land to make sure the soil is fertilized hundreds of years ago.
nHence, Mcgee turned his head and said to the little Spirit Fox beside him,
"We have to ignite all the weeds.
"
nAfter the little Spirit Fox heard this, she nodded her head obediently.
nThen, her tail raised high and waved in the air.
nIn the air, a round flame the size of a table suddenly appeared and was burning fiercely.
nAfter Mcgee saw that he had gathered enough energy, he said to the little Spirit Fox,
"Fire!
"
n
"We don't need to create an explosion. We need to ignite it. Fire!
"
nThe little Spirit Fox swung its tail, and the huge ball of fire above its head immediately whistled towards the pile of weeds.
n
"Boom!
"
nThe blazing fireball immediately ignited all the trees and weeds on the ground.
nThe raging fire soared into the sky and mercilessly devoured everything around it.
nMcgee picked up the little Spirit Fox and brought the curious baby away from the fire.
nWhen the weeds and trees on the ground were all burnt out, the fire gradually died down.
nOn the fire, there were many red charcoals left after the burning of many tree trunks.
nMcgee was a little puzzled when he saw it.
"Is this charcoal?
"
nDriven by his curiosity, Mcgee slowly approached the fire with the high temperature.
nSystem Notification: Danger ahead, please do not get too close.
nSystem Notification: You have found semi-finished charcoal, do you want to collect it?
nWhen Mcgee heard this, sure enough, the wood left behind after the trunk burned up could already be considered charcoal.
nCharcoal was a good thing to keep warm with.
nWith charcoal, even when he slept at night, he would not be exposed to the smoke from the stove, which made his tears flow.
nMcgee had already been tortured by the smoke last night, and when he woke up, his eyes were swollen.
nSo, Mcgee quickly took action. He wanted to collect all the charcoal before it was completely burned out.
n...
nAfter a round of work, Mcgee was already sweating profusely, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
nBut the harvest was also very considerable.
nIn his inventory, there was already semi-finished charcoal.
nSemi-finished charcoal × 20.
nSemi-finished charcoal that has not been properly processed has low durability, but it is very easy to ignite.
nMcgee looked at the farmland that had been completely opened up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
nThe fertile black soil looked so tempting under the sunlight.
nIt was like a huge piece of black chocolate, making people drool.
nBut Mcgee knew that this piece of land was much more precious than chocolate!
nMcgee estimated that this piece of land should be about 20 square meters.
nIt was enough for him to grow many things.
nBut now that he did not have any seeds, Mcgee thought for a while and could only look at the trading community.
nMaybe there would be a surprise for him.
