Chapter 1179: I Can Create a God Star

~8 min read 1,423 words

"Farming? What farming?" Hearing Anthony's words, the Lord of Starborn asked in astonishment.

"Just that farming, scattering seeds, growing them, and harvesting them. Can you do it?" Anthony asked.

"What's there not to be able to do? Isn't it just sowing seeds and waiting for harvest? Does this count as a test?" The Lord of Starborn said somewhat uncertainly.

"Hehe, that's fine, you try it. In order to let you feel what real farming is, please welcome our weakest player in farming here, Lord Negris, the God of Knowledge. Please." Anthony stepped aside and let Negris out.

Negris floated to the front unwillingly, muttering: "What weakest, clearly you are the weakest, right?"

"About the same, about the same, we are both equally weak, but you go farm, and I can scare him here. Or should I go farm and you scare him?" Anthony whispered.

"No, you are weaker than me, you stay here to scare him, I'll go, I'll go." Negris shook its head hurriedly, slipping away. Letting it mutter was fine, but letting it scare others was too difficult for it.

Negris was the God of Knowledge; it didn't know how to farm, but its 'farming knowledge' was extremely rich. Give it a few hundred acres of land, and it might grow a pile of grass, but when it came to using its mouth, it was too good at it.

This was Consciousness Space, exactly a place to 'use the mouth'. It only heard it mutter: "Level the land."

Following its words, a large piece of flat black land appeared in front of it, extending outward with it as the center.

Seeing this scene, the Lord of Starborn looked at Anthony in astonishment: "Really want to farm?"

Anthony spread his hands: "The questions you answered just now were just my curiosity. My Lord is not interested in these at all. This is his test for you. Now is the time to show your value. If your value is not even comparable to a giant dragon, let alone imprisoning you, occupying the Abyss Bridge is a huge waste."

The Lord of Starborn's heart tightened. Oh right, he thought being imprisoned here was already the most serious result, but it wasn't.

He imprisoned the God Star's consciousness because he couldn't do anything about the God Star, but he wasn't a God Star; the other party could completely erase his consciousness.

If you have no value, you die? The Lord of Starborn shuddered and hurriedly moved: "Level the land."

Thus, a piece of flat yellow land extended outward.

Anthony curled his lips: "Alright, this is someone who doesn't know how to farm at all."

The land Negris manifested was completely different from the land the Lord of Starborn manifested. The darker the soil, the more humus and the more fertile it was. Black soil was so fertile it could ooze oil when pinched.

And the Lord of Starborn's was just ordinary yellowish soil, the most common soil on most planes, but not the most fertile. The Lord of Starborn didn't know how to farm, so the land he knew was naturally the most common.

Unless he could prepare the soil like Ang, in which case it would be impossible to judge barrenness or fertility from the color. But did the Lord of Starborn have this ability?

Sure enough, after manifesting the land, he began to be at a loss, finally secretly looking toward Negris's direction, and then discovered that Negris was ridging.

Ridging is a very advanced planting technique. Don't look at it as just a simple strip higher than the ground; it has at least several major advantages: first, turning out the nutrients in the soil while turning out insect eggs and the like to be sun-dried to death; second, facilitating drainage to prevent water accumulation and root rot; third, reducing crop rotation and improving land utilization.

Without fertilization, the land needs to be rotated every year or few years. The plowed land is left alone, turning to plow other plots, waiting for its soil fertility to recover, and then coming back to plow it after three to five years.

This leads to low land utilization. Generally, three plots of land are rotated, and the land utilization rate is only one-third.

But ridge plowing is different. On the same plot of land, turning the original ridges into furrows allows for continued plowing, greatly improving land utilization.

However, this advanced planting technique is not known in many places, such as the Starburst Plane, where this planting technique is almost never seen.

On the contrary, in the Main Plane, because of the Grain Competition and the Church of Light, various advanced planting methods exist, and the spread speed is very fast, mainly because of the Church of Light.

A religious organization spread across the entire continent naturally needs a stable social environment, so it has a strong motivation to increase food production.

Even if the Light Alliance had advanced planting techniques, they wouldn't spread to the Lord of Starborn here, so he couldn't understand Negris's actions at all. What was the use of making the land into strips like this?

Because he couldn't understand, the Lord of Starborn didn't follow up, manifesting some seeds he knew, suddenly remembering something and saying: "Must I farm vegetables? Is it okay to farm other things?"

"It's okay, but the requirement is high yield, fast growth, strong adaptability, and strong resistance to pests and disasters. You can't farm trees while he farms vegetables; that would be impossible to compare." Anthony said.

The Lord of Starborn thought distressingly, but still scattered the seeds in his hand. He didn't know any seeds, and the few edible ones he knew were just the rice that had always been planted in the Starting Point World.

After he scattered them, he secretly glanced at Negris's side again, discovering that Negris only planted crops on the ridges, and there was nothing in the sunken pits, and the crops on the ridges were also arranged neatly between each plant.

The Lord of Starborn thought about it, and his mind turned, arranging the scattered seeds neatly.

Next, he almost followed Negris's steps to copy. Negris watered, he watered; Negris provided light, he provided light. Those who didn't know would think he had worshipped the God of Knowledge.

Until Negris summoned thunder, and thick electric rays flashed over the farmland, he finally couldn't help it: "What is it doing?"

Anthony said: "It's top-dressing."

"Top-dressing? Lightning flashing back and forth in the sky can top-dress? Top-dressing means fertilization, right?" The Lord of Starborn didn't believe it at all.

"Hehe." Anthony chuckled and didn't answer.

The Lord of Starborn didn't even know such basic planting knowledge, so the result was predictable. Negris had already harvested a large amount of fast-growing vegetables, while he hadn't even grown a season of crops.

After Negris harvested more than a dozen crops, he finally harvested the first season of rice. Although the two were not the same thing, the gap was too large. Negris's dozen crops of vegetables had a yield of several tons per acre, while his rice had a yield of more than 100 jin per acre...

"Tsk tsk tsk... The Grain Competition held in our plane, the weakest player has a yield of more than 400 jin per acre, and that's still planting swamp rice in swamp areas. With your yield, even the worst farmer is better than you." Anthony hit him hard.

"I... you... this..." The Lord of Starborn stammered and couldn't speak. If there was no comparison with Negris, he could still say something, but now no excuse had any meaning. The gap was too large; he didn't even have the value of a dragon, and the Abyss Bridge would definitely not let him occupy it.

Unknowingly, the Lord of Starborn's thoughts had changed from 'let me out' to 'the Abyss Bridge won't let me occupy it'.

"What should I do now?" The Lord of Starborn asked in a low voice. He could feel that Anthony had no malice toward him, completely forgetting how insidious the appearance of hiding half his face was when they first met.

"You show your value, and you ask me what to do? You think about it yourself. What value do you have that others can't replace?" Anthony said irritably.

The Lord of Starborn thought hard for a long time before hesitantly saying: "I... I... I can create a God Star."
