Chapter 570: Chapter 355: Trade and Enhancement (4)

"Cheng Ying is in the name now too." Zhao Chi figured this Spear would probably manifest a phantom tip extending past the actual blade; using the phantom tip to Attack an enemy would suffice. Because this Super-Improvement Moon-Chasing Spear was extremely difficult to forge, Blacksmiths like Ding Dang wouldn’t be able to craft it. He still had to rely on himself. He was practically playing both mother and father, acting as both Tailor and Blacksmith. He would follow the same process: teach Tang Ruan and Qi Yue first, then have them pass the knowledge down to Ding Dang and the others. He had to take his time and free himself from this workload step by step.

At this moment, Zhao Chi felt a little stuffed. However, it definitely wasn’t him. It was Tang Ruan’s stomach that was full. Shifting his attention over, he found that the women had already eaten their fill. The massive spread of food on the table had been polished off completely, which would probably cost seven or eight Silver Coins. The last small half-basin of soup had been left to Tang Ruan. She held up the large basin, chugging it down.

GULP, GULP.

Zhao Chi felt like her stomach was already stretched to its limit, but she forcefully swallowed another mouthful.

GULP, GULP.

[Life -1]

[Life -1]

"Huh? What’s going on?" he wondered.

GULP, GULP.

[Life -1]

[Life -1]

"Holy crap... she’s drinking until it hurts!" Zhao Chi thought. She was truly forcing herself to drink.

"Haa..." Tang Ruan let out a contented sigh after finishing the soup, satisfied as she set the basin down.

[Life +4]

Her Super-speed Self-Healing instantly cured her. Speechless, Zhao Chi listened in to see what she was thinking, but she only had one thought on her mind.

"This is Truly delicious~"

That half-basin of soup was completely gone. Her stomach was stuffed to the brim, sticking out roundly just like her large E-cups.

"Phew~ I’m full," Tang Ruan sighed.

Gu Qing and the others were all laughing. Qi Yue teased, "Tang Ruan, it’s fine if you’re not full. We can buy more. I see you really liked the dirt crab and mixed root soup. Should we order another portion?"

"Ah? Can we?" Tang Ruan was actually hesitating. "How about... how about we... get another..."

She actually wanted to keep eating? Zhao Chi quickly warned her through their mental link, "Tang Ruan, no more. You’re eating until it hurts. Go take a walk outside first to digest, and you can eat more later."

Tang Ruan instantly changed her tune. "Never mind, hehe."

Gu Qing chuckled. "What is it? I thought you were really going to order another portion. Did my Lord remind you?"

Tang Ruan smiled. "Yeah. How did you know, Sister Gu? Hehe."

Gu Qing smiled back. "I just know. Let’s go for a stroll on the streets first. Walking around will help you digest."

Zhuang Ya chimed in, "Exactly, don’t eat until you throw up."

Tang Ruan nodded. "Alright, let’s go."

Next, they walked over to the clothing street and began shopping. Zhao Chi had zero interest in this. However, seeing quite a few women from various Races undressing to try on clothes in the shops, he took a few extra glances. But there wasn’t much to see anyway, since Ordinary Humans made up the majority. He decided to get back to his own business.

This time, he had also bought two Modification Blueprints for fertilizer. Zhao Chi had not yet built a Fertilizer Workshop in his territory. The main reason was that he couldn’t buy any Improvement Books before. Furthermore, the Effect of basic fertilizer was mediocre, he didn’t have much Farmland, and he lacked enough raw materials. The primary raw materials were feces and urine. Zhao Chi wasn’t too keen on purchasing such raw materials, so the idea had been shelved. But now that he had these two Improvement Books, building a Fertilizer Workshop was worth it. Moreover, the crop yield in Zhao Chi’s territory was already extremely high. If he applied Super-Improvement fertilizer, it would enhance what was already exceptionally strong. Bolstering his originally high yields would send his production numbers through the roof.

The basic fertilizers were manure and liquid fertilizer. He could master them without needing any research as they belonged to the default Technology tree, so Zhao Chi could view their stats directly. There were two categories in total: base fertilizers and top-dressing fertilizers.

[Item] Manure

[Effect] Yield +10%

[Dosage] 1 ton per plot

[Duration] 1 year

[Composting] 3 months

[Materials] Feces, Straw

[Explanation] Commonly used farmyard fertilizer, typically applied as a base fertilizer. Can be made by mixing Human and livestock feces with straw to increase crop yield.

Honestly, a 10% increase in yield made it worth producing, but Zhao Chi was used to Super-Improvement items, so he felt it was far from adequate. Manure was a basic fertilizer that could increase soil fertility. Looking at the data, one ton of fertilizer could boost the fertility of 1 plot for a Duration of one year, which wasn’t bad. The raw material for manure was obviously feces. It was then mixed with straw and left for three months to compost. The composted fertilizer would have a loose texture, a milder odor, and a dark yellowish-brown color. It would then be ready for use. Feces had a high water content, so a large amount of moisture would evaporate during composting. Therefore, one ton of feces mixed with one ton of straw would yield one ton of manure.

[Item] Liquid Fertilizer

[Effect] Growth +10%

[Dosage] 1 ton per plot

[Duration] 1 month

[Fermentation] 10 days

[Materials] Urine, Clean Water

[Explanation] Commonly used farmyard fertilizer, typically applied as top-dressing. Can be made by mixing Human and livestock urine with clean water to increase crop growth speed.

Liquid fertilizer was top-dressing, meaning it was applied while the crops were actively growing. It could increase crop growth speed by 10%, which was a decent margin. Similarly, 1 plot required one ton to be watered, and the fertility Effect would last for a Duration of one month. If a crop took six months to grow, it would need to be watered six times. This was perfect for Zhao Chi. Wheat and Experience Fruit both took only one month to mature and be ready for harvest. Liquid fertilizer was made by mixing urine with a large amount of clean water. The ratio was roughly 1:10. One hundred kilograms of urine, combined with one ton of clean water and ten days of fermentation, would yield one ton of liquid fertilizer.

The production speed was much faster than that of manure. However, as a base fertilizer, manure only needed to be applied once a year, so waiting a bit wasn’t an issue. Meanwhile, liquid fertilizer, as a top-dressing, needed to be applied once a month, so it made sense for it to be faster. Currently, there were sixty Feathered Oxen in the territory.
