Chapter 169 Inspection
"What the City Lord means is..."

One of the intelligence officers asked cautiously, "Invite the Journey Village to settle in the City That Never Sleeps?"

He didn't think it was a good idea.

Because that might allow outsiders to gain the upper hand over the city lord.

As intelligence personnel, they knew only too well how terrifying these god-like creatures were.

That kind of existence cannot be harmed by ordinary forces. Even if the opponent has no strength, it is inherently invincible and others cannot do anything to it.

"It's enough that they're willing to come. Who knows if they're willing to come?"

The Lord of Black Snake City said calmly, "The City That Never Sleeps is so huge, can't it accommodate a small travel village?"

"That's what the City Lord said."

The two intelligence officers didn't dare say anything more.

The Black Snake City Lord didn't mean to blame anyone, and continued, "With the arrival of the cold season, chaos is spreading across the City That Never Sleeps. If we can attract a ruthless person, it might be a good thing."

He himself does not want to kill too many animals, but he does not care if others kill them.

The two intelligence officers looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything more.

Both of them knew very well that although their city lord was unwilling to kill, it was not because the city lord was kind.

From their observations over the years, they believe that the reason why he doesn't kill is probably related to the city lord's special abilities.

……

Shrimp...On the fourth day after the rice was planted, Liu Hen couldn't wait to get up as soon as the early night came.

As usual, he first received the ten spiritual fields that had been made, put in ten portions of spiritual field materials to continue making them, and then started the ten synthesizings of the day.

After ten failed attempts at synthesis, he took out the food and shared it with Little Black Stone.

After eating and drinking, he came outside. Although he was actually very anxious, he tried not to show it.

It's not that he's hypocritical or anything, he's just bored and wants to see if he can cultivate his mind and character. After all, he's already the head of the village, and he needs to be calm and composed even when faced with a collapse.

The above are all plays he made with himself because he was bored. Anyway, there is nothing else important now and there is no entertainment in the world, so he just plays with himself.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the rice ears were completely full.

The nine rice ears, the longest of which was half a meter long, weighed down the stalks so much that they bent and almost fell to the ground.

Although still blood red, the nine ears of rice look completely different in color and stalks.

If the stalks are the blood red of dregs, then these nine ears of rice are the color of blood crystal, which is very beautiful.

Of course, it may also be because he knows what is inside these nine ears of rice, and under the psychological effect, he feels that these nine ears of rice are so beautiful.

When Xiao Heishi saw his parents walking towards the spiritual field, he also walked towards the children in the village.

During this time, she gradually relaxed and had a lot of fun playing with the kids.

She loved watching the children trying to please her and obey any of her commands just for a bite of food.

Because she had free access to various supplies, she would take out some food every day to entertain the children.

Her way of entertaining these children is also very special. She lets them do push-ups and supervises them to exercise from an early age.

……

"There are still more than thirty hours left..."

Liu Hen looked at the countdown to maturity that only he could see, feeling anticipation in his heart.

"The harvest will be ready by tomorrow night at the latest, and we'll have plenty of seeds."

Even so, he still had to wait for a while before he could eat the rice, but he didn't hate the feeling of waiting. On the contrary, he even liked it.

It's like watching his goal getting closer every day, and that sense of accomplishment makes him satisfied.

"Village Chief, is it time to harvest the dried shrimps?"

Hu Jinshi is still here. He chatted with Liu Hen for most of the day yesterday. He found that the village chief was actually very easy to talk to, so he was no longer so restrained.

"Although it's possible to harvest now, what you harvest now can only be eaten." Liu Hen said: "Only by harvesting at the last moment can you obtain seeds."

Of course, this wasn't a reminder from his own golden finger, but rather the experience gained from playing various farm games in his previous life.

Many farm games in the past had similar settings. Crops were harvested immediately after they matured. Although they could be sold, the amount of harvest obtained was not small, but no seeds would appear.

If you wait for a while before harvesting, seeds will appear directly and you don’t need to buy new seeds.

Of course, this approach is actually not worth it, because during the waiting period you can almost harvest a crop, which is not worth it.

Only players who are really short of money and can't even afford to buy seeds will do this.

And now he is one of those people who is 'short of money'.

But this is reality, not a game, so he feels that harvesting now will also affect the quality of the rice.

"By the way, this is rice, don't say it wrong again," he reminded.

"Yes, it depends on my memory."

Hu Jinshi patted his head and said with a wry smile, "I've gotten used to calling you that before, and it's hard to change. But I've remembered it this time, and I won't call you that wrong again."

Liu Hen nodded in satisfaction: "When does the Paradise Flower usually bloom? How long does it last?"

"If you plant it outside, normally, the buds will only appear in the last three months."

Hu Jinshi explained, "However, after the buds appear, it takes more than ten days for them to bloom. The flowering period is actually very short, only one day, after which the flower withers. The seeds of the flower of paradise will only appear after the flower withers. If they are harvested prematurely, those seeds will easily rot or be of very low quality."

Most of the seeds in that bag were bad and inferior because they were harvested early.

There was no way, because when he harvested these seeds, there was a war in the Hongluo camp.

If we hadn't harvested quickly, we might not even be able to take the seeds away, as they would have been snatched away by outsiders.

"Paradise flower... the flower lives up to its name."

Liu Hen sighed again, feeling that the night fog world was not completely useless.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the bonfire at the source of the village, only to find that the experience of the bonfire at the source of the village was full.

These days, his attention has been focused on the spiritual fields, and he almost forgot about expanding the village.

"Yes, if we want to expand the village, let's start now."

Liu Hen first took a look at the iron ore reserves.

However, the current iron ore reserves seem to be insufficient.

"I haven't been out for two or three days. How much iron ore is piled up outside?"

He walked out of the village.

During this period, Hong Ming has cured all the disabled people in the Yuanshi tribe, and those villagers have also joined the mining team.

Stone Chief Helian Xiao had always boasted to him about how good his Stone Tribe members were at mining, but he had never seen it firsthand. Now he wanted to see if those people would bring him any surprises.

"Village Chief."

The two villagers guarding the gate saluted respectfully.

Liu Hen nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked leisurely into the darkness, preparing to inspect the mining team first.

At this time, there was a noise in the distance. It turned out that the locals had brought back silver mines again. Hong Ming was receiving the silver mines and sending the locals away with very small amounts of food.

During this period, hundreds of local barbarians have discovered the travel village and brought various supplies to trade for food.

Unfortunately, none of them were good things, and Hong Ming painted a rosy picture for these locals, making them almost regard the Journey Village as a holy place, and they worked hard to join the Journey Village.

As a person who makes empty promises, Hong Ming made a fortune. He seemed to really regard the carbohydrate porridge as a resource for cultivation. In just a few days, his aura seemed to have changed.

Liu Hen suddenly thought that Hong Ming’s special ability was to be a spirit plant husband, and the carbohydrate porridge happened to be made with sawdust as the staple food. Could it be related to this?

Because his own strength was improving fast enough, and Hong Ming had not shown any signs of betrayal so far, but instead worked diligently for him, so he had no intention of suppressing the other party and let nature take its course.
