Chapter 1413: Accumulate Thickly, Release Gently (9)

The cabbages grew rapidly.

The leaves grew bigger and bigger, more and more numerous.

It seemed one could even hear the sound of them growing.

Before long, all the cabbages in the entire field had matured — and over-matured at that.

Every single one had already flowered and gone to seed.

A single cabbage field like this could produce enough cabbage seeds for over 200 fields.

Sugarcane, on the other hand, produces fewer seeds; it is usually propagated by cutting the cane into sections of seed stem.

It relies on the meristematic tissue on the seed stem to achieve reproduction.

One field can yield about 10 mu of seed stem.

But this is no ordinary sugarcane — this is the giant long sugarcane.

Length up to 10 meters, thickness 8 centimeters!

It has abundant meristematic tissue.

So each field can be divided into seed stem for 100 fields.

"Alright, Gu Yan, have your people harvest the cabbages right away, and replant them immediately once the harvest is done."

"Understood, my lord. Will these vegetables be supplied for everyone to eat from now on?"

"Yes. In about another month, we'll have enough vegetables."

"Wonderful! Once they're grown, I'm going to eat one raw."

"Haha, eating 10 raw is fine too. The Daoshihou Society will be just like those wheat — we simply won't be able to finish them all."

"Then we'll all be waiting. I'll go arrange the harvest right now."

The other farmers were all listening nearby too.

Now everyone knew that in the future there would be vegetables they couldn't finish eating, and they were all bursting with motivation.

Before long, all the cabbages had been harvested, and everyone was separating out the seeds.

At that moment, Su Qin sent a message.

【Zhao Chi, I've bought the Quick-Growth Talismans. I'm at Penglai Town. Where are you?】

Zhao Chi teleported over immediately.

Su Qin walked up with a smile: "All the flour has been delivered. Third Brother says the gold coins will be sent over shortly by Fourth Brother's people. Do those gold coins need me to buy anything?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Buy Quick-Work Talismans, the more the better. If there are rare materials, keep buying those too. Just follow the list."

"Got it. Here are the Quick-Growth Talismans first. Third Brother says don't bother with the Experience Fruits for now — they're short on equipment right now. They've probably been fighting continuously lately and lost quite a bit of gear."

If battles are frequent, equipment wear really does add up fast.

And equipment burns through money terribly.

Zhao Chi knew this from the Shenyouti Society.

He took the 30 Quick-Growth Talismans: "Understood. It's fine not to take them."

"Mm."

Su Qin nodded, then stared at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi stared back at her.

The two gazed at each other for a moment. Su Qin laughed: "What? Don't you have anything else for me to do?"

"Nothing else. Go rest. I'll keep crafting in a bit. I'll find you again tomorrow night."

Su Qin nodded: "Alright, I'm heading to the Illusory Martial Room. Come find me if you need anything."

"Okay."

After Su Qin left, Zhao Chi entered Chaoge Village.

The sugarcane had already grown to a person's height; reaching 10 meters would still take some time.

Zhao Chi found Gu Yan.

"Gu Yan, these 33 Quick-Growth Talismans are for you. Use 30 of them on the sugarcane fields and 3 on the cabbage fields. Harvest the seeds as soon as possible and expand the planting area."

"This many? All for me to use?"

Gu Yan carefully took the Quick-Growth Talismans.

Then she tucked them against her waist.

She wasn't a hero and had no system space, so she could only keep them on her person like this to feel safe.

"Right, I'm leaving this matter to you. Get everyone eating vegetables and sugarcane as soon as possible."

"Hehe, understood!"

Gu Yan nodded happily.

Zhao Chi had nothing else to do right now.

Among the quests registered earlier, some had already been completed.

The system had sent notifications, but Zhao Chi hadn't had time to settle them.

It was already the middle of the night, so he'd have to wait until dawn tomorrow.

Besides, he'd promised those female blacksmiths a few hours off; it wouldn't be appropriate to start work now.

After all, giving only a few hours off was already excessive. If he docked more, Zhao Chi would feel a pang of conscience.

So what to do during this time?

A figure flashed beside him — Gu Qing appeared.

Seeing Zhao Chi, she walked over with a smile, swaying her hips lightly.

Seeing her, Zhao Chi had an idea too.

Just do them.

Replenishing energy is also very important.

Before Gu Qing could speak, Zhao Chi pulled her into his arms and teleported them to Penglai Town.

"Eh? My lord?"

Gu Qing obediently nestled against his chest without any resistance, but let out a puzzled sound.

"Do you have something you need?" Zhao Chi pulled her along toward Phoenix Chant Tower.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "I need to find Gu Yan, but it's not exactly urgent. Let's take care of your needs first, my lord."

His partnership with Gu Qing was the longest-running one.

The two of them truly knew each other well.

Practiced and at ease.

Soon, Zhao Chi's mouth was full of sweetness.

But Zhao Chi also clearly knew what that sweetness was, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Moreover, it was an overwhelming sweetness…

It had to be said, Gu Qing's technique was truly top-notch.

Being with her was completely like a spring breeze.

It was absolute, thorough enjoyment.

And Gu Qing was also more than willing to serve Zhao Chi with all her heart.

It's just that when she served too well, she would often get a bit worked up…

"My lord, it's alright. I know you're currently in an intellect state, so your constitution isn't that high. This is already very good as it is — you don't need to explain yourself to me anymore."

Zhao Chi felt a bit awkward: "Sigh, then alright…"

Gu Qing smiled: "Would you like me to coax it awake? Although I might not be as good as Qi Yue, I should still be able to satisfy you."

"Go ahead."

Gu Qing gave a light laugh and gathered up her long hair.

She gently parted her crimson lips.

Sometimes, when it comes to service, it's really all about attitude.

Especially when the difference isn't that big, attitude really makes a huge impact.

Gu Qing tenderly and patiently roused Zhao Chi awake.

Complete success.
