Once chosen, the safe zone would assign personnel to build a specialized planting platform in the selected locations, with warning signs and barriers set up around it.
This approach not only prepared the humans to either avoid the area or proceed cautiously but also provided Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree sufficient private space, demonstrating respect for its status.
Indeed, upon hearing this decision, the Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree spread their leaves wider, clearly pleased with the humans' reverence.
However, this was secondary. What Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree desired most was the fertile soil and water from Kim Haru's land.
Moon Baein promised that the soil for their planting platforms would co from fields used to grow normal crops during the autumn. If Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree found the soil unsatisfactory, the safe zone would purchase soil from Kim Haru's farm using crystal cores.
As for fertilizer, the ferntation pools in the safe zone were jointly owned by the safe zone's administration and Kim Haru. The fertilizer usage would be ticulously recorded and accounted for, ensuring Kim Haru received his rightful share down to the last coin.
After all, the ferntation pools could only produce such miraculous fertilizers because they were part of Kim Haru's farming system, requiring his personal input of crystal cores to activate the system's recognition.
The safe zone's share of the fertilizer ca from their expenses in organizing tasks to collect kitchen waste and manure from households. People who brought these materials directly to the ferntation pools earned points in return, with the costs covered by the administration.
Effectively, most of the land in the Pyeongseong Safe Zone had already beco property under Kim Haru's na.
The Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree, satisfied with residing on Kim Haru's land, tolerated the humans' presence despite finding them sowhat annoying.
Soon, the residents of Pyeongseong Safe Zone discovered that they had acquired a rather formidable mutated plant neighbor.
At first, everyone was on edge. Those living near the planting platforms even began contemplating relocation. Before they could act, however, the official announcent regarding Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree's abilities was released—along with the fact that they were introduced by none other than Kim Haru.
The mont Kim Haru's na was ntioned, the entire community was reassured.
"If it was brought here by Mr. Kim, it will surely bring no harm to Pyeongseong Safe Zone," everyone thought.
Within just half an hour of the Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree being planted, people noticed that the ice around their hos beca brittle and easier to break. Accidental contact with the ice and snow no longer imdiately tore away layers of flesh.
These visible benefits not only deepened everyone's respect for Kim Haru but also dissolved any lingering resentnt toward the Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree.
So residents even learned that Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree enjoyed the fertilizer from the ferntation pools and specifically purchased it with crystal cores to gift to the mutated plants.
Unexpectedly, the Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree found themselves receiving bonuses in addition to their basic "salary" and began to enjoy life in the safe zone even more. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
These were later developnts. For now, after ensuring that the Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree was successfully planted and showed no signs of discomfort, Kim Haru returned to his small farm via sled, driven by Snowball No. 1.
Kim Haru wasn't worried about Snowball No. 2 to Snowball No. 11, as they still had work to complete for the day. Once finished, they would return on their own.
Back at the small farm, three Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree had stayed behind to help. By the ti Kim Haru returned, everything had been restored to how it was before the ice storm. In fact, the snow on the ground seed softer, and even the chickens, Sir Peckington and Little Nugget, cautiously ventured out of their coop for a short stroll.
Kim Haru spoke to the eldest, second, and third Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree among the trio, explaining the situation with the Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree at the safe zone to reassure them, fearing they might worry about their fellow plants.
However, Kim Haru didn't fully understand that mutated plants didn't have much to worry about. In fact, they preferred being spread out. It wasn't just about having a wider territory but also about not competing too much for nutrients.
For mutated plants like these, communication over distance wasn't an issue. The safe zone and the mountain forest might be over an hour's drive apart for humans, but for the plants, it was like making a phone call—smooth and instant, without any network latency.
Still, the three Unlted Frost Bamboo Tree didn't share this with their human companion. They enjoyed watching the humans fret over their well-being, finding it inexplicably delightful.
Unaware of all this, Kim Haru finished what needed to be said and then turned to plan where to set up the new duck coop.
That's right—Kim Haru had decided to separate the ducklings from the chickens, Little Nugget and Sir Peckington. With 25 ducklings cramd into the chicken coop, space was becoming an issue.
Duck coops, like chicken coops, are typically designed to house five adult ducks each. However, considering the size of the ducklings, Kim Haru decided to divide them into three coops: two coops for eight ducks each and one for nine.
The ducklings didn't mind the arrangent and curiously explored their new coops. What piqued their interest the most was the "swimming pool" at the center of the area.
It couldn't be helped—the ducklings had hatched in the winter and had never experienced a proper water source. The only water they had encountered was for drinking, either frozen solid outdoors or just enough in their coop to keep them hydrated. Seeing so much water at once was a novel experience.
The duck coops, unlike the chicken coop, ca with a designated "swimming pool" for the ducklings to splash around in. Thanks to the heated system, the water wouldn't freeze, and its temperature wouldn't drop too low.
