The first step was to dig up the soil and loosen it. Then, they would leave a small pit for the seeds.
The pit for planting water bamboo was deeper than that of ordinary crops because a large amount of water was needed. The deeper the pit, the more water it could cater, and the more suitable it was to grow water bamboo.
Gabriel worked hard for the whole afternoon before he finished all the work.
One last step, watering.
“Doggie, I’ll leave the watering to you.” Gabriel touched Doggie’s face.
“Woof! Woof!” Doggie ran into the wooden house and took out the simple kettle.
Doggie filled the simple kettle with water and started watering the water bamboo. Gabriel did not need to help at all.
Doggie was very fast. In five minutes, he had finished watering more than 100 water bamboo seeds.
At the same time, the golden words appeared again.
[Water bamboo]
[Time of growth: 20 days]
[Quality: E]
[Current condition: Perfect]
[Planting advice: None]
[Advancement route: None]
After planting the water bamboo seeds, they only needed to wait for a month to obtain the fruit of the water bamboo plants, and then they would be able to obtain rice.
In this world, eating water bamboo also had the effect of strengthening one’s body. If they were to trade it, it would definitely be a big news.
The day passed quietly while they were busy working on their farm.
The sun slowly set, leaving only a wisp of sunset glow hanging in the sky.
Gabriel returned to his wooden house early. No one knew what kind of monsters would appear at night.
Doggie was left outside the house to patrol. If Doggie encountered danger, Gabriel would be the first to receive the news. Doggie was even more powerful at night, as if he was born for the night.
After dinner, Gabriel lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
It should be a restless night. He was about to fall asleep, but the roars of monsters came from the forest, making him unable to fall asleep.
Perhaps those monster’s sensed Doggie’s aura and did not dare to invade their farm.
After an unknown period of time, the roars of the monsters stopped. Gabriel also gradually fell asleep.
…
The sun rose from the east, and a new day had arrived.
“Woof! Woof!” Doggie jumped onto the bed and woke Gabriel up, like an alarm clock.
Gabriel sat up, rubbed his hazy eyes, put on his clothes, and walked out of the house.
Although Gabriel heard roars last night, they did not invade his farm, and his farm was fine.
The first thing he did when he got up was to go to the planting area. A green sapling had grown out of the Ancient Elven Tree seed he planted yesterday, and it was growing in a fast pace.
“It’s a treasure to me.” Gabriel touched the sapling that had grown out, and he was still a little shocked. Normally, it would take about two years for a sapling to grow, let alone a mature sapling.
Although the water bamboo had not sprouted, it seemed to be in a good condition. In another day or two, it saplings would completely break out of the ground.
Doggie also began to water the two plants according to Gabriel’s instructions.
The Ancient Elven Tree soon finished absorbing the water and was full of vitality.
After observing for a while, Gabriel returned to the wooden house and opened the trading interface.
The amount of pork had been reduced by half. Most of them traded it with wood. No one had traded it seeds or pets.
Gabriel’s private chat interface was also full of messages. They were trying to beg him to lower the price.
He would not care about these people.
The price he set was very reasonable. A piece of pork weighing three pounds for 40 pieces of wood was very reasonable.
As long as these people spent half a day collecting woods, they could definitely trade for pork.
Gabriel would not be a saint. There was no need for that.
At this moment, a special private message popped up.
The name of the message box was Wang Tian.
[Brother, I have a synthetic blueprint, can I exchange it for pork?]
Under Wang Tian’s message, there was a photo of the item and the details of the item.
[Interception Trap]
[Type: Blueprint]
[Quality: Rare]
[Required materials: 5 wood, 2 copper ores, 2 iron ores]
[Description: When the enemy passes over the top of the trap, they will fall into it. The iron thorns hidden inside will penetrate the enemy.]
“Excellent!” Gabriel looked at the picture on the interface and shouted.
The blueprint came at the right time. The most important aspect for Gabriel’s farm was safety.
With this blueprint, Gabriel could used it to catch those monsters off guard. Although it could not completely solve his problem, he would feel safer with the trap.
If there were enough materials, Gabriel could set up traps outside his farm. When the monsters passed by, they would be trapped there. It was many times better than the wooden fences.
Gabriel stopped thinking as he looked at the private chat interface.
Gabriel did not reply immediately. If he did, the other party might seize the opportunity and ask for more. With that, Gabriel would be at a disadvantage.
He was very clear about this. He had been at a disadvantage before.
As expected, Wang Tian sent a lot messages to Gabriel for three days.
[Brother, can you take a look at the blueprint? I’m really hungry.]
[Boss, the sun is already up. Why aren’t you up yet?]
[Brother, I’m begging you!]
Looking at these messages, Gabriel smiled. He knew that the time was right, so he wrote a message and sent it to Wang Tian.
[Yeah, I just woke up. How many pieces of pork are you going to exchange for?]
The quality of the blueprint was not high, and it price could not be compared to wood. Gabriel knew that Wang Tian wanted a lot of pork.
[Boss, I’ve been waiting for you all morning. Five pieces of pork, and you can take my blueprint.”
Gabriel did not reply immediately. Although it was not a loss to exchange five pieces of pork for a blueprint, he still decided to maximize his own profit.
Not long after, Wang Tian’s message popped up again.
[Brother, three pieces of pork. I can’t go any lower! Let me tell you another secret!]
[Okay, what’s the secret?] Upon seeing this message, Gabriel sat up straight, and his eyes shining with curiosity.
Wang Tian was silent for a long time, then sent a very long message.
[I didn’t get this blueprint from the gift bag. I was too hungry yesterday, so I went to the forest to look for food. In the end, I found a wooden box. When I opened it, this blueprint was inside the box.]
Huh?
Forest treasure box!
The information piqued Gabriel’s interest. There was also a large forest near his farm.
“It seems that I can’t skip the part of exploring the forest.”
After pondering for a moment, Gabriel sent three pieces of pork to Wang Tian. A moment later, Wang Tian also sent the blueprints to Gabriel.
It was a deal.
