Chapter 30: Farmland Upgrade, Sweet Potato Harvest!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although there were enough people, the excavation of the ca.n.a.l was still challenging.
By the time the ca.n.a.l was dug near their home, the little Spirit Fox and Spider Queen were already drenched in sweat.
The little Spirit Fox was like a puppy, constantly sticking out its tongue.
In addition to the fur that was rolled up by the furnace, it really became a teddy.
Seeing that the tamed beasts were almost at their limit, Mcgee could only encourage them, “Keep working hard. We are almost at home.”
When the little Spirit Fox heard this, she immediately complained to Mcgee, “You have said this many times!”
But this time, it was indeed almost finished.
So the little Spirit Fox continued to lower her head and began to dig the ditch.
This was the last slope with relatively high terrain. As long as they dug here, the stream could flow directly along this slope to the riverbed in front of their home.
However, Mcgee only called the Spirit Fox to make a small opening on this gentle slope.
Because summer was almost here, the rainfall would definitely increase.
If they dug through the entire slope, their home would definitely be flooded when the flow increased.
“It’s finally over!”
With a cheer from the tamed beasts, a babbling stream suddenly flowed slowly from the opening of the gentle slope to their home.
After Mcgee saw that it was a success, he said to the little Spirit Fox, “If you want a pool, hurry up and dig a big hole in the riverbed.”
When the little Spirit Fox heard that it was time to dig a pool, she immediately rushed to the riverbed from the gentle slope.
She quickly dug up and no longer had the fatigue from before.
Mcgee took the Spider Queen and diverted the stream to the nearby farmland.
This way, they would not have to worry about the sweet potatoes dying from the sun.
The system notification sounded at the right time.
[System Notification: Advanced farmland has been upgraded!]
[System Notification: Your crop of sweet potatoes has matured, please collect them in time!]
After hearing the notification, Mcgee turned his head and looked at the farmland that had been expanded to 200 square meters!
People often said that they only needed to take care of one acre and three cents of land.
At this time, the soil in the farmland had completely changed from a chocolate color to pure black rich soil.
The sweet potato in the middle was now lush and green. On the green sweet potato vines, there were even purple flowers like morning glory.
Mcgee knew that this was a sign that the sweet potato had matured.
It had only been a few days? It seemed that this high-grade farmland was not to be underestimated!
On earth, sweet potatoes usually took 90 days, which was about three months, to mature.
Now, let alone 90 days, it did not even take nine days!
Mcgee walked into the farmland and lifted a sweet potato vine. Then, he carefully pried open the soil and looked at his harvest.
As Mcgee dug up the black soil, a sweet potato that was almost as thick as an arm was gradually revealed.
The red skin of the sweet potato that Mcgee had dug out was very smooth, and its size was also perfect, almost the same size as Mcgee’s own forearm.
One was enough for Mcgee to eat for himself to satiate his hunger.
The only bad thing was that eating too many sweet potatoes made it easy for him to fart.
It was very smelly!
In the end, Mcgee only dug out seven sweet potatoes, intending to give one each to his tamed beasts.
It was already late today, so the sweet potatoes could only be dug tomorrow.
The vines could be divided again and then continued to be planted in the farmland.
However, Mcgee felt that it was a pity for such a large piece of good farmland to be planted with sweet potatoes.
So he decided to ask the second-tier dealer if there were any better seeds that could be bought to plant to expand the variety on his farm.
At this moment, Mcgee was already immersed in the joy of finding a water source and a b.u.mper harvest, but the others were not so lucky.
In the world channel, the gloomy clouds, coupled with the hot weather, made people restless.
Therefore, from time to time, a fierce scolding battle would break out in the channel!
“Is there a big shot who can share where it’s easier to find water?”
“Come on, I’m resigned to my fate. Who asked me to be in the desert! F*ck!”
“I’m also in the desert. A few days ago, I saw that the situation was not right, so I brought food and water and ran away!”
“Upstairs, I saw it first. I’m dying of thirst!”
“Upstairs, in the mountain stream, at the bottom of the valley, and where the shrubs are lush, it’s easier to find water!”
“You can also follow the nearby beasts and see where they drink water!”
“Thank you, boss!”
“I didn’t find any water either! Thank you for sharing!”
“Thank you for saving my life, boss!”
…
Closing the chat channel, Li Yu was still confused about finding water.
He raised his head and looked around. There was only a ravine in the distance. It looked like there was water.
But when he turned his head to look at his beast, Li Yu suddenly became timid.
His tamed beast was on the verge of mutiny because of the lack of water.
If he could not find water in the ravine, Li Yu was worried that his tamed beast would betray him.
In that case, it would be difficult for him to go through the forest alone and return home safely.
But if he did not go, he would die sooner or later. If he went, at least he could fight.
“Roar!”
The tamed beast at his side had already roared at him.
Li Yu immediately fell into a dilemma.
…
The little Spirit Fox looked at Mcgee, who was fiddling around the stove and asked curiously, “Master, the pool has been dug. What are you doing?”
After Mcgee heard it, he took out a sweet potato and said to the little Spirit Fox, “The sweet potato harvest is good. I want to roast some to taste it.”
The little Spirit Fox’s eyes lit up when she heard that, “Let me do it! Let me do it!”
Then, the little Spirit Fox directly raised a wall of fire on the spot.
Then, she put down the wall of fire, and the wall of fire instantly became a ready-made oven.
After Mcgee saw it, he quickly took out all the sweet potatoes and threw them into the wall of fire.
Then he said to little Spirit Fox, “Well done!”
As the high temperature continued to roast the sweet potatoes.
A sweet fragrance exclusive to sweet potatoes kept coming out from the wall of fire.
The Heavenly Eye Spiders, who were originally very afraid of fire, were also attracted by the sweet potato fragrance and gradually surrounded the wall of fire.
After waiting for a few minutes, Mcgee looked at the eager look of his tamed beasts and took out the sweet potatoes from the makes.h.i.+ft stove.
At this time, the skin of the sweet potatoes had turned black, but after peeling off the black skin, the yellow flesh of the fruit made Mcgee drool.
Mcgee quickly threw a sweet potato to each of the beasts, then he hugged his sweet potato and began to enjoy it.
The beasts also liked sweet potatoes. After getting their sweet potatoes, they also began to eat them in big mouthfuls.
Until a sound came from the little Spirit Fox, “PFFT!”
Then came a foul smell!
The Spider Queen quickly took the sweet potatoes and led the little spiders away from the little Spirit Fox.
Mcgee was silent.”…”
“Don’t sleep in the wooden house tonight. Sleep outside.”
After the little Spirit Fox heard it, she was suddenly unhappy and asked, “Why?”
Mcgee looked at little Spirit Fox, raised his fist, and said, “You have thought it through. If you fart in the wooden house, I will definitely not let you off easily!”
After the little Spirit Fox heard it, she immediately lowered her head guiltily.
“PFFT!”
This sound came from the Spider Queen’s side.
After Mcgee heard it, he said helplessly, “It seems that the tamed beasts have never eaten sweet potatoes before, so they are not used to it!”
