208: Chapter 205: Plant Growth 208: Chapter 205: Plant Growth In the past, she had been wholly focused on practicing Wild Transformation, which caused her study of spells to be long delayed; there were still so third-ring spells that she had not mastered.
In addition, this ti she had also obtained so plant seeds from Erald World, which needed to be cultivated.
Mu Ying would spend the coming days cultivating in the territory.
She was already quite skilled at planting Dingling Flowers, having done it twice before; but these plants were delicate and couldn’t grow without the nourishnt of magic power, so she had to care for them diligently.
Unlike Binding Vines and Gem Trees, these flowers were not her original research project, so at best, the successful planting rely awarded a considerable amount of professional experience and did not reward a large amount of experience at the mont of germination.
But Mu Ying found that the experience gained each ti she cared for them was substantial.
[You have planted a special plant and gained 20 Professional Experience Points]
[You have cared for a special plant and gained 5 Professional Experience Points]
…
The plant seeds she brought back from Erald World were either herbs needed to concoct magic potions or magical plants she had attempted to plant in Erald World.
Depending on the difficulty of planting each plant, the experience value for a first successful planting generally ranged from 10 to 20 points.
Accumulated bit by bit, Mu Ying’s experience was rapidly increasing.
Since she was often at the Plantation, she picked out the remaining plant-related spells from the third-ring spells to study.
The spell ‘Plant Growth’ was described to Mu Ying as having effects similar to those of plant magic that induced the growth of plants.
Previously, she had felt that there were alternative abilities available, which is why she had postponed its study.
Now, having learned it, she discovered differences.
Plant magic that induced the growth of plants had both a short-term, imdiate effect and a long-term nourishing effect.
Plant Growth was similar; its short-term effects were akin to those of plant magic, but its long-term nurturing was quite different.
In terms of long-term nurturing, plant magic acted on the plants themselves, using magic power to nourish them slowly.
However, Plant Growth acted on the soil, making the enchanted land more fertile.
In the following year, plants grown here would be more lush, yielding double the normal crop at harvest ti.
But compared to the short-term effect, the long-term nurturing effect of Plant Growth required a significantly long spell casting ti, a full eight hours.
Currently, the range of effect was about half a mile from the spellcaster, or over two hundred ters.
Understanding this effect, Mu Ying’s enthusiasm for this spell surged trendously.
What was eight hours?
If it could produce double the yield, she would go all out to cast it over the entire Plantation, greatly increasing the land utilization.
If this were done every year, the territory would have bountiful harvests annually, and wouldn’t the land of the Plantation beco highly desirable?
Up to this day, the land of the Plantation could not support the entire population of the territory.
The main source of food for residents was still purchasing from shops.
Though it contributed significantly to her tax revenue, she still felt this structure was precarious.
Where did the shop’s food co from?
It was either the inventory brought by the shop owners when they moved in or goods imported from outside Deep Blue Star with whom they maintained contact.
Talking about natural ecological relationships, most of the residents in her territory were still consurs.
Consurs might seem to be in an advantageous position, but in reality, once there was a problem on the producer’s side, the impact on the consurs was trendous because they depended on the output of the producers.
Mu Ying hoped that both her territory and its residents could assu the role of producers, making others depend on them rather than relying on others.
In short, she wanted independence; only then could they stand firm against any storm.
The first priority of survival was to have enough to eat, a.k.a.
food security.
After the apocalypse, farmlands were largely abandoned.
It was only due to the rain before, which caused a significant evolution in plants and increased their lushness, that people could find many edible resources in the wild.
But what about next year or the year after?
Solely relying on wild resources was rely exhausting an asset, which could also destroy the ecosystem.
After all, it still ca down to planting.
However, the wilderness was not safe, with a high density of wild beasts and monsters.
Clearing the wilderness for farming could result in the land being destroyed by wild animals, and the farrs themselves could face danger.
The Plantation was an idea that Mu Ying had co up with as a counterasure, but due to the limitation of area, the residents who rented could only plant so vegetables for their own consumption or for sale.
The appearance of Plant Growth was simply a solution to the worries she had always harbored in her heart.
She imdiately had new ideas for the territory.
She built another camp on the original site of Qingshan Town, then renad the previous Plantation to Private Plantation, and nad the new one Public Farm Camp.
She also erected a notice board for it while rearranging the order of the other notice boards, placing it third, right after the announcents for Resident Identity Card and before the Plantation announcents, at the forefront of all sub-camps.
At the sa ti, she issued a territory task.
[Territory Task: Reclamation of the Farm Camp]
[Task Description: Help with reclamation at the Public Farm Camp]
[Task Reward: Reclaim 1 plot of farmland, reward 2 Contribution Points, 8 copper coins]
[Task Requirents: The farmland reclamation must et standards]
[Task Duration: Imdiate]
“There’s a new task!”
“2 Contribution Points, 8 copper coins, that rounds up to 10 copper coins, a plot of land isn’t very big, but what is this Public Farm Camp?
Why haven’t I heard about it?”
“Wait, I rember the territory task notice board was a bit more to the left before.”
Soone imdiately went forward to check.
“Look, the Plantation’s na has been changed to Private Plantation!”
“And there’s an additional notice!”
Soone read it aloud, “Effective imdiately, Lord Mu Ying will go to various locations in the Private Plantation to cast beneficial spells that will double the crop output next year.
The selected spell casting locations and dates are as follows: Plot 1 (11.8), Plot 4 (11.9)…”
On the day of spell casting, please grant Lord Mu Ying tily access to your private farmland.
This round of spell casting will cover all land in the Private Plantation, please strive to plant diligently next year.”
“My god, what kind of spell is this?
Double the output, that’s incredible!”
“This is what Druids are!
Although I’ve never seen the Lord’s plantation,based on the daily discounted vegetables at the Territory Specialty Store, you can tell how well the Lord’s land produces.
Now we can get a piece of that too!”
“No way, has the land rental at the Private Plantation been taken up yet?
I need to hurry and rent a plot, double the output for a year, even a fool could make money.”
“Hey!
Weren’t you guys looking for the newly erged sub-camp?
It’s right next door!”
“If we don’t hurry, I’m afraid there will be nothing left, I’m teleporting there directly!”
“Crazy, just crazy!”
“Pfft, you’re only this calm because you’ve already rented a plot, right?
Don’t think I don’t know, each person in your team has rented one, you guys are probably going to make a killing this ti.”
