Chapter 571: Chapter 355: Trade and Enhancement

Each Feathered Ox was enormous.

Each one could produce 50 kilograms of feces and 50 kilograms of urine per day.

This herd of Feathered Oxen could produce 3 tons of dung and 3 tons of urine every day.

The amount was significant. It was enough.

However, these Feathered Oxen didn’t possess much intelligence and couldn’t be expected to use a toilet to relieve themselves like Humans.

The dung could be picked up, but the urine was not so easy to collect and could only be gathered opportunistically.

Fortunately, the territory now had a sizable population. The women all urinated in the toilets, allowing for a stable collection.

Moreover, Humans produce more urine than feces.

An Ordinary person produces 0.5 kilograms of feces and 1 kilogram of urine per day.

But these Peach Blossom Females had huge Appetites...

They ate a lot and drank a lot, so naturally, they defecated a lot and urinated a lot...

Each woman could produce 3 kilograms of feces and 6 kilograms of urine per day.

With over 850 people in the territory now, that amounted to 2.5 tons of feces and 5 tons of urine daily.

This was quite good.

In the future, he could have them drink more water to produce even more urine.

Gu Qing was quite an expert on this subject.

Previously it was for silk production, and now it was for battle, but either way, she drank a large amount of water every day.

The silk she produced was now almost completely translucent white.

There was very little pale Yellow Silk.

He could have her promote the idea.

As for the feces and urine from before, none of it had been wasted. Zhao Chi had already collected it all.

He knew it would be useful later.

He had been inside the women’s toilet in the territory.

There was no choice; it was the only toilet in the territory.

The main reason was to inspect the situation inside.

A long time ago, he had specifically designated separate areas for urination and defecation.

Dedicated areas for dedicated purposes.

This made collection very easy.

It wasn’t that he had some sort of special hobby; rather, the academy had offered a specific course on this very subject.

Several large pits had now been filled to the brim.

The dung pits and urine pits were placed separately.

Each large pit had a capacity of 10 tons.

Currently, 4 dung pits and 8 urine pits were full.

Sometimes, when passing by the dung pits, Zhao Chi would be reminded of the Strong Fragrance Food Street.

Fortunately, his mind was always clear, and he had never jumped in to give it a try.

These raw materials would soon be put to use.

He took out the Improvement Book.

Use all.

First up was manure.

An image of fertilizer appeared before him—dark brown clumps that, at a glance, looked very much like soil.

There were several Arrows pointing to different Improvement paths.

[Please select an Improvement path]

[Manure Improvement Points]20 Points

[1. Yield +10%]10 Points

[2. Disease Resistance +50%]10 Points

[3. Duration +50%]5 Points

[4. Composting Speed +50%]3 Points

[5. Aroma +50%]2 Points

[6. Flood Resistance +10%]1 Point

[7. Drought Resistance +10%]1 Point

’I didn’t expect there to be so many Improvement options.’

’And they all seem quite useful.’

Yield, needless to say, was a direct Bonus, and one that everyone sought after.

It was a definite must-pick.

Disease Resistance was good.

Zhao Chi had more and more Farmland in his territory now. If a plant disease were to appear later, it could spread easily.

Vast stretches of Farmland would all become infected.

Furthermore, farming within the territory was a very closed environment. Once a plant disease appeared, it could easily lead to a large-scale reduction in yield.

It would be best to add this one too.

However, even if he transferred the data and maxed out Disease Resistance, it would only increase disease prevention Ability by 500% and couldn’t completely prevent plant diseases.

But the probability would be greatly reduced, resulting in only 14% of the normal incidence rate.

That wasn’t bad.

Duration was also good, as it could increase how long the fertilizer lasted.

And the Bonus value wasn’t low, so it was worth considering.

Reducing the composting time would increase the fertilizer’s decomposition speed, allowing it to finish quickly. That was also quite practical.

But since it only required waiting three months, it wasn’t a big deal.

’Next up is... Aroma?’

’What the heck is this?’

Zhao Chi frowned, not quite understanding this Improvement path.

’On second thought, it’s not completely useless.’

After all, the fertilizer had to be made in the Fertilizer Workshop.

And with feces as the raw material, the production environment was indeed terrible.

If the smell could be improved, that would also be great.

Although the stench would fade a lot after it was processed into fertilizer.

But that was only relatively speaking. No matter how much it faded, there would still be some smell.

When the weather got hot, or when the amount of fertilizer increased, the smell would still be quite unpleasant.

Moreover, this fertilizer was all applied to the soil. Whether passing through the Farmland areas or accidentally stepping on it, the experience wouldn’t be pleasant.

This option was actually a good one.

Unfortunately, it didn’t increase any Attributes, so Zhao Chi gave up on it.

The remaining options were Flood Resistance and Drought Resistance.

These two were not bad either.

However, just like Disease Resistance, they couldn’t completely prevent the problem.

Even if Drought Resistance was increased to +1,000,000,000%, a plant would still wither and die without water.

It could only slow the process down.

And the values were too low.

Maxing out the value only provided a +100% bonus, which was equivalent to changing a watering schedule from once every two days to once every four days.

It would certainly reduce the workload quite a bit.

But ultimately, they couldn’t compare to the first two options.

Besides, these two options only required 1 Improvement Point each, meaning their points were destined to be transferred away.

’Then forget it.’

In the end, Zhao Chi decided to increase Yield and Disease Resistance.

Transferring the data and increasing the success rate cost a total of 9 Technology Points.

[Your Improvements are as follows]:

[1. Yield +10%]×10

[2. Disease Resistance +50%]×10

[Confirm?]

He checked it over. No problems.

He tapped confirm!

[Congratulations, your territory has mastered the 「Gold Block Fertilizer」 Improvement Technology]

’Oh?’

’Gold Block Fertilizer?’

’The name changed too.’

’Just like how Rejuvenation Spring became Carefree Spring.’

[Item]Gold Block Fertilizer

[Effect]Yield +110%, Disease Resistance +500%

[Amount]1 ton per plot

[Duration]1 year

[Composting]3 months

[Materials]Feces, Straw

Not bad!

Zhao Chi’s two territories both had Effects for Plant Growth Speed +20% and Land Mass +30%.

The Land Mass +30% was equivalent to a 30% increase in yield.

Now, this was equivalent to a +140% yield Bonus.

Each plot could produce 12 tons of wheat, which could be milled into 9 tons of flour.

If it were Experience Fruits, then each plot could produce 9,600 of them—enough that they could be eaten like regular fruit.

And this was the yield from just one plot of Farmland!

Excellent!
