Chapter 138: Super Fat Dragon Poop

~16 min read 3,045 words

"Oh oh oh, so that's how it is."

"Eh eh eh, so that's how it is."

"Wow wow wow, so many things happened?"

Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony were discussing the highest mobilization order, the Land of Sinking, and the origin of Gold Tooth's undead team. When they looked back, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood; Ang had actually reached into the Palace of Rest and started planting vegetables again.

"I'm saying, Ang, we are talking about the plane's situation, can't you listen?" Nai Ge Li Si said irritably.

Ang tilted his head and asked: "Can I plant vegetables?"

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Nai Ge Li Si's heart: "No..."

"Oh." Ang responded and focused on planting vegetables again.

Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony looked at each other.

Anthony said: "I was worried before, worried that if you knew about this, you would get involved. Now it seems I was worrying for nothing, right?"

Nai Ge Li Si nodded, saying dejectedly but with some relief: "Yes, our lord is only interested in planting things. It seems that in the future, things that have nothing to do with planting don't need to be told to us."

"Uh, speaking of this, I really do have news related to planting. Humans are facing a great famine. Does the lord have extra food? Sell it all to me."

It wasn't the first time humans had faced famine. From the time Anthony was a 'human', humans had faced famine more than once. After he became Anthony, the famine was even more incessant year after year.

Although helpless, in the process of his struggle to climb up, famine was often the aspect where he could best build his political achievements, and he was very willing to build achievements in this aspect because he could save many people.

Most famines were caused by uneven distribution. Large landlords and large chambers of commerce monopolized the grain trade. They would transport grain from low-price areas to high-price areas, but transportation was a process and required time. Once they encountered natural or man-made disasters and roads were cut off, it would trigger a chain reaction, not to mention hoarding for speculation.

A small part of the famine was caused by reduced grain production, population explosion, war, and other reasons. The great famine Anthony mentioned referred to this kind.

"The main material plane has actually been quite peaceful for the past ten years or so. There are no major wars, and small disputes don't affect the overall situation, so the population has grown explosively. A few years ago, the food supply was already a bit tight. This year, there is drought and little rain in the south, and reduced grain production is foreseeable. If there is no sufficient food supply, I don't know how many people will die next year."

Anthony said worriedly: "Our Eastern Diocese is fine. I have built many granaries to store grain over the years. But the Western Diocese is in trouble. Now that Nikola is dead, I have to compete for the position of Pope. I must win the hearts of the people in the Western Diocese. What can win hearts better than disaster relief?"

"Uh, are you trying to provide disaster relief, or are you trying to win hearts?" Nai Ge Li Si was speechless.

"There's no difference, right? Just because I want to win hearts, does it mean the disaster victims I save don't count as me saving them?" Anthony said as a matter of course.

"That's true, but you're overthinking it. No matter how powerful Ang is, he is only one person. No matter how much food he plants, he can't make up for the human famine. Besides, you can't afford the equivalent." Nai Ge Li Si said.

"What equivalent?"

"Soul Flame, faith."

Anthony cut off the connection and stopped mentioning food. Because the things Ang needed, he really couldn't provide.

Don't look at his heart being towards the undead, his capital for survival was still the Church of Light. He couldn't send believers to Ang, right? The church would tear him apart immediately.

And Ang planting things was purely an obsession, and equivalent exchange was the same. Wealth like magic crystals and gold coins had no meaning to him at all; only Soul Flame was useful to him.

The original location of the Dragon Temple, the wreckage smashed by the sand bandits, had been cleaned up, leaving only a flat ground.

Alan Bulu Si Ke took out materials from the dimensional space with heartache. These materials were all carefully collected by it, and many were precious and rare. After all, things that could enter the eyes of the Dragon Clan leader couldn't be junk.

They were like the collection of a middle-aged dragon, private money, being forced to be taken out, it was really heartbreaking.

"Using such good materials, what is built is a top-level teleportation array. I don't even want to use such good materials for the teleportation array on my Longdao." Alan Bulu Si Ke muttered.

All the materials were placed, Alan Bulu Si Ke stood in the middle, magic power surging, and one magic rune circle after another spread out from it, layer upon layer.

It seemed as if these circles were attracting, or there were invisible hands playing with them, and the materials on the ground slowly floated up, moving to the corresponding positions of the magic rune circles.

All materials were moved into place, Alan Bulu Si Ke slapped its hands down fiercely, the magic rune circles and materials fell at the same time, with a series of muffled sounds, a complete teleportation array was assembled.

Sha Fei Ya widened her eyes, dumbfounded: "This... this is finished? The previous teleportation array took the boss several years to move materials, and it took thousands of us several months to build it. God, he finished it with a wave of his hand?"

Nai Nai Aili smiled and comforted her: "Don't be surprised. If you knew his identity, you would know that this is only natural."

A Truth powerhouse, an existence even more terrifying than a Magic Instructor. If it hadn't turned into a human form, limiting part of its power, just the Dragon Might would have made 90% of the people here lie down.

Sigh, it's a pity that this guy is frustrated everywhere in front of Ang and Nai Ge Li Si, so much so that he doesn't dare to speak loudly, so the impression he gives is that he is very weak and easy to bully. Hey, that's not his true face.

The teleportation array was built, and everyone couldn't wait to communicate with the Abyss of Rest. The first thing teleported over was several tons of food and a sapling.

"You guys, eating these green dates for one meal is fine, but eating them every meal makes me feel sour. If we keep eating, we will definitely die here from stomach perforation and become the first batch of Titans killed by green dates!" Purple Skeleton Titan said with disgust.

"Yes, yes, yes, and the first unicorn sour to death by green dates." Flash rarely stood in solidarity with Purple Skeleton.

Being disliked, Sha Fei Ya said awkwardly: "Isn't there still little fat sheep? And we also eat green dates every day, and I haven't seen anyone sour to death."

Lisha sneered: "Still say no? Lan and I have been here for so long, and most of the people we treat have stomach problems. The older they are, the more serious the stomach problems. Your food is too monotonous."

Sha Fei Ya said helplessly: "No way, there are too few things that can be planted in the oasis, and the only thing that can fill the stomach is green dates. I also want to eat beets and corn, but they won't grow. Wait, leave some for me." As she said, she went to grab food herself.

Ang planted the World Tree sapling teleported over onto the sand dune, and then began to plant a large number of grass squares, Goshu, and green date trees, and then stepped on footprints.

With the increase in the number of times, Ang is now more and more proficient in the use of the Death Aura, and has more and more insights. For example, grass mats, he doesn't need the grass to grow to maturity and be harvested, he only needs them to take root.

So he chose the kind of grass with a huge root system that can take root deep and stable, and then accelerate it for a short while, he can create a large area of grass mats, and the consumed Soul Flame is very little.

The grass mats were divided by the sand people, and then laid on the sand dunes at certain intervals. After laying them, Goshu and green date trees were interplanted in their intervals, and then the aura was activated.

It only takes a very short time to make the grass squares, Goshu, and green date trees all take deep roots and pass the most critical rooting period.

In this way, the Soul Flame that is only enough to ripen the crops once can allow ten times more grass squares, Goshu, and green date trees to take root and spread out a larger area.

Of course, the defects are also obvious. These crops need to go through a whole growth cycle, a full half a year. The green date trees are cuttings, but they also need to go through one or two years of growth before they reach the fruiting peak period.

During this period, they need to go through the harsh climate of the desert.

However, grass mats and green dates are both original crops of the desert, and the environment for Goshu growth is also very similar to the desert, it's just that the soil composition is different. The sandy soil in the desert is too barren, and we have to find a way to add fertilizer later.

Nai Nai Aili heard that Ang was looking for fertilizer, came over coyly, and drove Nai Ge Li Si aside: "Ang, that... that... heard you want to find fertilizer?"

Ang nodded.

"Well, uh, you should know, our dragon's that, has very strong efficacy, and I have been in the desert for a long time..." Nai Nai Aili twisted and turned for a long time, Ang tilted his head, completely unable to understand what it meant.

Nai Ge Li Si poked his head over: "I understand, you have been living here for so long, the habitat has your dragon poop that you have been pulling for over a thousand years."

Before he finished speaking, he was scratched by Nai Nai Aili's small claws: "Dragon your head, poop your head, we female dragons don't poop, even if we poop, it's fragrant!"

Nai Ge Li Si fled in a panic with a blank face, what kind of logic is this?

Through the newly built teleportation array, the group came to the cave where Nai Nai Aili once lived.

Nai Nai Aili pointed to one of the holes leading to other places and said: "That leads to my toilet. Besides me, many birds also excrete in that pit, piling up a thick pile of white bird poop. It doesn't smell much because it has long been air-dried."

"Bird poop? Oh, you should have said so earlier, that is the real good fertilizer." Nai Ge Li Si said excitedly. After saying that, the whole dragon felt bad, just bird poop, why should he be excited?

Ku Ba Da, why would he be excited about bird poop? He doesn't eat that stuff, just because it can be used as fertilizer? Ku Ba Da, has he been infected by that vegetable-planting skeleton?

The deeply hit Nai Ge Li Si followed everyone into the cave to the dragon's toilet.

The further they went, the stronger the wind, and the brighter it became in front. Soon, the front suddenly opened up.

"Uh, is this the 'pit' you mentioned?" Nai Ge Li Si said.

Presented to everyone is a huge rift valley, as if a knife had been slashed on the earth, a crack had sunk deeply, extending forward to the end of the horizon.

And the position they are in now is in the upper part of the rift valley wall, and below is a cliff of hundreds of meters. Nai Nai Aili can just stick her butt out here and discharge the poop down, which is convenient and clean.

The wind in the rift valley is very strong. The vertical bottom of this position is a piece of black volcanic ash-like substance, which doesn't look like poop at all. Clearly, it has been weathered.

Besides this piece of "volcanic ash", what covers the bottom of the rift valley is a piece of white substance like salt. There are a large number of birds flying back and forth in the air, occasionally sprinkling things, hitting the bottom of the valley in free fall.

The rift valley, which cannot be seen at a glance, is almost covered by this white substance at the bottom.

"So much? Made a fortune." Nai Ge Li Si, who was deeply hit in his heart, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the phosphate accumulated by this bird poop.

"Is it very valuable?" Alan Bulu Si Ke asked in surprise. It also recognized these white substances. On Longdao and nearby islands, there are a large number of such bird poop islands. Some islands are densely covered with such substances, which can pile up the altitude of the island by several meters.

"It's not very valuable, but even if it sells for one magic crystal per ton, how many magic crystals can the things here sell for? At least several million tons, right?" Nai Ge Li Si said.

Alan Bulu Si Ke calculated and said with disgust: "Only a few million magic crystals? Garbage."

Nai Ge Li Si was angered to laughter: "It is precisely because it is cheap that it is precious. This is a strategic material, understand?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

It's fine for others to shake their heads, but Ang also shook his head. Nai Ge Li Si had to explain it to consolidate his status as the God of Common Sense, so he had to say reluctantly:

"Unfertilized farmland generally produces about 150 to 200 jin per mu. Carefully cultivated farmland can produce 300 jin, but farmland with a little fertilizer can produce 500 to 600 jin. With better seeds, the yield is even higher. Last time I heard Anthony say that the new grain seeds in the Druid Spring Breeze Cup planting competition exceeded 1,000 jin per mu. There must be the credit of fertilizer in this."

"I sell you fertilizer, your yield per mu can double. I don't sell you fertilizer, your yield per mu will stay the same. Does this count as a strategic material?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Alan Bulu Si Ke nodded.

"My yield is twice as high as yours, I sell grain at a low price, your farmers can't sell grain, go bankrupt, don't plant grain next year, then will you have to buy grain from me in the future? One day I say I won't sell grain, unless you exchange it for a city, will you exchange it? No? Your farmers don't plant grain, don't buy my grain, wait to starve to death? Does this count as a strategic material?"

Alan Bulu Si Ke gasped: "So vicious."

"Hehe, if food security is not in your own hands, others have plenty of vicious ways to cure you. Costs, yields, can all become weapons. These bird poops are the big killers for increasing production. Anthony should like it very much. I'll sell it to him later." Nai Ge Li Si has already started to get excited.

Nai Nai Aili was a little angry: "You talked about bird poop for a long time, what about dragon poop? Why don't you talk about it? Is dragon poop useless?"

"Ah!?" Nai Ge Li Si was stunned. Didn't you just scratch me for talking about dragon poop? Why are you blaming me for not talking about it now? The mind of a female dragon is really strange.

"The magic effect of dragon poop is too strong, ordinary crops can't bear it. Look, there are plants growing on those bird poops, but dragon poop doesn't have them. Only those magic plants can bear the efficacy of dragon poop, such as elf beans, soul moss, dragon fruit, etc. Eh, with so much dragon poop, can we plant elf beans?"

Nai Ge Li Si suddenly remembered the elf bean seeds he got from the elves. He didn't dare to sow those seeds because the fertility of ordinary land was not enough to support elf beans.

Ang noticed another term: "Soul moss, what is it?"

"It's a kind of moss that can calm the mind, wake up the brain, soothe the soul, enhance memory, and accelerate magic recovery. It is the main material for magic recovery potions. If a magician can drink a bottle of magic recovery potion in advance when fighting, tsk tsk tsk." Nai Ge Li Si said.

"Is it that kind?" Ang flew out of the cave and pointed to a large piece of black moss on the cliff wall vertically below.

"It can't be such a coincidence." Nai Ge Li Si flapped his wings and flew out of the cave to look back. Sure enough, he saw a large piece of black moss and a human child.

That human child might be only seven or eight years old, holding a wooden hand shovel, trying hard to shovel the moss on the cliff wall. At this moment, his back basket already contained several large pieces of soul moss.

Nai Ge Li Si felt heartbroken: "Hey! Kid, let go of those mosses, soul moss cannot be collected like this!"

PS: Legend has it that everyone has a monthly ticket bag. At the end of every month, monthly tickets will grow. After this month, they will disappear. Take a look, have they grown? If you don't vote, they will disappear. ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
