A thousand years ago in the Ark Continent, a very famous wood-based advanced mage, plus several water mages and elves that were knowledgeable about plants, tried to study the Black Waste. They wanted to see if the black soil could be changed and make this place the largest fertile land in the entire Ark Continent. But after two full years of research, they couldn't even get grass to grow. Sadly, they gave up. Since then, no one tried to study the Black Waste. Many people now think that it would be a waste of ti and there would be no value in researching it.
It wasn't like the Ark Continent didn't have other large fertile lands. There were plenty of areas that were already used to cultivate crops. There wasn't any food shortage problems in the continent. So the Black Waste didn't gain a lot of people's attention.
But the Continent has been relatively calm these past few years. No big wars had taken place and the population has been growing rapidly. It had reached the point where so small countries started to experience a food shortage. But since this didn't affect the five large empires as a whole, it did not cause any widespread concern.
And do not forget that there were slaves in the Ark Continent. Slaves were as cheap as the price of long grains. If there was a food shortage, it did not matter if you reduced the amount of food you gave the slaves. The slaveholders did not talk about this. They would rather talk to a beautiful woman about the moon. They didn't care if the slaves were a little hungry. So most of the people simply did not notice that there was a food crisis getting closer.
Now the continent was at peace, with a developing economy and a strong national army. But although the country's economy was on the rise, most of the people's standards of living did not improve. On the contrary, they were even reduced. And don't even ntion the living standards of the slaves. When the country's economy develops, prices will naturally rise. But although the prices rose, the incos of the people did not, which made it so that a lot of people could not even afford to feed themselves. More and more people had no choice but to beco a slave to survive.
Of course, irin did not know any of these things. She just knew that the price of food was starting to get expensive. If Zhao was able to turn this black wasteland into fertile land, then it would be almost impossible for the Buda clan not to develop.
Zhao saw irin's excited look and chuckled. "Yes, Grandma irin, this is the power that I got. But I can only transform one mu of land per day. So organize the slaves in the afternoon to asure out the land."
irin excitedly nodded. "Yes Master, I'll imdiately go arrange it."
Having said that, irin was about to walk out, but Zhao stopped her. "There's no need to hurry, Grandma irin. Just rember that you can not let outsiders find out about my ability, otherwise it would be very difficult for the current Buda clan to stop those guys."
irin also knew about the kinds of people in this world. After what Zhao said, she cald down and nodded. "I know, young master. Leave this to ."
Whether it was irin or Zhao, they did not notice that standing behind them was g, who was looking at Zhao with eyes of admiration. In the past, whenever Zhao was in front of g, she would always have her head down because she did not want to look at him. But now she was carefully watching Zhao.
g and Adam were childhood friends. Even though Adam was two years older than her, they grew up playing together. Wherever Adam went, g would also be there. And if the other children were bullying her, Adam would fight to protect her. So she grew up with a good impression of the young master who was like an older brother.
But as they grew older, she had to be more sensible. g knew that Adam was her young master, so she couldn't just call him her brother. Eventually, Adam stopped playing with her, which made her very sad. Adam made a lot of new friends who were young masters of their own noble family. He seed to have forgotten about his childhood playmate.
As he got older, Adam beca increasingly outrageous, while g beca more beautiful and showed a good talent for magic, so she took a completely different path than Adam. g beca unhappy at the pranks and criminal acts that Adam pulled. She wanted to make him stop, but it was no use. Adam wouldn't even listen to her grandfather, not to ntion her. There were many days where she hoped they could return to the past, back to their childhood where they played together, during a ti when the young master would fight to protect her like an older brother.
g had always hoped that Adam would return to his past self, but reality ruthlessly shattered her dreams when Adam tried to molest her. When Adam attacked her, she felt like the world was tumbling down. Although she escaped unhard, it was like her mories of the past had lost their color.
And then disaster struck.
The Buda clan went through a crisis where it was on the verge of life and death. She could do nothing but watch as the people she grew up with left the Buda clan one by one, where the king took away her childhood ho, and when Adam was forced to drink the Water of Nothingness. In a short period of ti, everything disappeared.
They were left with nothing but the Black Waste. While Adam had not yet woken up from drinking the water, she watched as her grandparents desperately tried to keep the Buda clan alive, like drowning people fighting their last fight against the flood.
g was just a young girl. With everything crashing down around her so suddenly, she wasn't able to stand on her own two feet. If her grandparents hadn't been there, she did not know how long she could last before she committed suicide.
But then in this land of death, Adam woke up, and g saw that the young master had changed. It wasn't like the past where he just stirred up trouble. He suddenly beca mature and was fighting hard for his family. First was the magic radish, followed by the plans for the blue-eyed rabbits, and now this ability to improve the soil in the Black Waste. The young master had beco strange. But it was a good kind of strange. He no longer had that frivolous temperant, but instead had beco more steady. She liked this kind of confidence in Adam. He was optimistic with a gentle smile. When Adam saw her watching him, she looked away with a guilty expression. Unconsciously, a strange feeling stirred up in her heart.
irin did not pay attention to the changes in g, and after speaking with Zhao, she imdiately went into the kitchen. g was blushing while looking down, but following behind irin gave her a chance to recover.
Later, irin and g were ready to organize the slaves to asure the land.
Zhao saw the smile on irin's face. Her mood had greatly improved. She had always thought that this place was a land of death, but now she was told there was a chance that they could survive. This was like soone telling a dying patient they could be saved. How could they not be excited about it.
irin had already gotten the slaves to asure the land. Those slaves, although they had no skills, was still capable enough for the task. Ten acres of land was imdiately asured. irin then looked at Zhao to determine if he really was able to improve the land.
Zhao froze when he saw the ten acres. When he was in his spatial farm, he had full control over it. All he had to do was calculate the ratio and the spatial earth and water would automatically spill on the ground in the right amount. But when it ca to improving these black lands, he wasn't sure if he could do it. Would the spatial earth and water still be under his control out here? Zhao was anxious as his thoughts went around and around, but then he heard a voice: [Do you want to improve this land?] [Yes/No]. The voice appeared with a screen that projected two buttons. One said [Yes] while the other said [No].
Zhao was overjoyed and imdiately tried to hit the [Yes] button, but he beca surprised when his hand went through the button. The screen didn't change with the two buttons still there. He tried to hit the button again. And again. And again. To the people watching him, it looked like he had beco a dancing madman.
