Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 177 - 171 Agriculture and Animal Husbandry_2

Chapter 177: Chapter 171 Agriculture and Animal Husbandry_2

This made the players sigh once again, *the black dragon really was a treasure trove!*

Of course, only the players had the opportunity to use the black dragon’s droppings as fertilizer…

And this further ignited the players’ enthusiasm for experimentation.

After successfully growing the crops, the new seeds quickly spread among the players. Quite a few players bought some seeds from the “Mengmeng Committee” using their contribution points and began conducting experiments in their own yards…

They came up with all sorts of strange methods, starting to collect various types of magical materials in the Elf Forest for use as experimental fertilizers, trying to see if they could make the crops mutate even more significantly…

Some even… set their sights on the World Tree, digging around its roots, only to be angrily scolded by the Oak Guardian, Berserker.

Meanwhile, on the official forum, the players involved in planting also began to summarize different planting effects according to their fertilizer experiment progress.

*Surprisingly, there really were results!*

The black dragon’s droppings could increase yield and quality, and magically transform crops, while the droppings of the elves could greatly speed up the growth. Additionally, some of the soil beneath special magical plants in the Elf Forest could cause crops to mutate, imbuing them with magical properties similar to those plants, offering different tastes!

So, it wasn’t without reason that some players focused on the soil beneath the World Tree…

After all, it was the soil where the True God had taken root! It could be called divine soil!

In fact, some managed to secretly obtain a bit of it while the NPCs were unwatched, and after using it, they were surprised to find the crops grew wildly! Its effect was even better than the elves’ droppings!

After that… more players began to stealthily dig the soil under the World Tree while the NPCs were not paying attention…

This situation made Eve feel both amused and helpless. In the end, she set up a magical barrier beneath herself to make the soil immune to the players’ digging, which finally put an end to these peculiar players.

The players’ performance in crop cultivation also pleased Berserker, the Oak Guardian.

Except for those few who wanted to dig around the World Tree’s roots…

Berserker was selected by Eve as the NPC for the [Crop Cultivation] task, overseeing the entire process of players’ planting.

Due to his sensitive identity, he couldn’t join in the expansion of forces, so he stayed honestly in the Elf Forest, assisting the elves and players with development, essentially doing his druid duties.

However, Berserker’s appearance had changed somewhat from the beginning.

To avoid his exposure leading to the detection of the revival of the Mother Goddess, he specifically prayed to Eve, requesting the inheritance of the transformation spell. Now, he transformed into the form of a two-meter-tall bald elven strongman…

He looked somewhat intimidating.

However, because the transformation spell limited magic power, he couldn’t use his full strength while transformed, so he honestly took up logistics work.

Berserker was very pleased with the players’ enthusiasm for planting.

Though he was puzzled as to why these Chosen Ones liked planting like humans did, considering that native elves mainly consumed fruits, and the Elf Forest was so abundant that the fruits could never be finished. Even if they were, by casting a spell, they could grow back.

But at least… with crops available, the Chosen Ones hunted much less frequently.

In fact, it wasn’t just much less, but there was almost nothing left around to hunt. Now, the players ventured further out to hunt demon beasts—he couldn’t see this happening while he stayed in the core area…

The [Crop Cultivation] side quest was completed excellently by the players.

The related processed products quickly found their way to the players’ tables with the help of convenient magic…

The spices collected from the human caravans also inspired the players, who began searching for similar substitutes in the Elf Forest to use as seasoning.

In no time, players uncovered their cooking talents, and various common dishes from Blue Star started appearing in Segis World. Some vegetarian dishes even piqued the curiosity and welcome of the native elves…

However, unlike the remarkably smooth planting industry, the livestock industry under the leadership of Black Dragon Mairrel suffered setbacks.

Recently, the little black dragon, with some players, caused a ruckus among the mid-level demon beasts of the Elf Forest, searching everywhere for demon beast nests to capture young ones.

*Surprisingly, they caught quite a few, but none were suitable for domestication.*

Moreover, demon beasts were different from plants. Plants were more sensitive to Magic Power and could grow faster in high Magic Power environments, but demon beasts didn’t show such an obvious effect… They only became stronger.

At this point, given the precedent of crop cultivation, some players suggested to the little black dragon to capture some already domesticated animals from human society. But they were quickly scolded by Mairrel:

“Rua——! Capture domesticated animals from human society? Do you think I, Mairrel, am a dragon like a common robber?!”

*Weren’t you?*

The players recalled the scenes of the black dragon greedily plundering treasures from the Half-Beast and human caravans…

Of course, they could only think about it in their hearts.

“However…”

Mairrel shifted her tone, lifting her proud dragon head,

“Robbing is out of the question, but Mairrel thinks we could buy some from human society. I just need the True God’s permission first, and… you need to pay! Also, you must give Lord Mairrel half… no, double the running fee! Rua——!”

She emphasized the issue of money.

Buy?

The players’ eyes brightened.

This was a great idea!

After looting the Half-Beast Tribe and the human mercenaries, the players obtained quite a bit of the universal currency of human society, which just happened to be useless to them. It could be used to buy domesticated animals.

“Buy domesticated animals?”

Eve was slightly surprised upon receiving the black dragon’s request.

She thought for a moment, then agreed.

Having signed the master-servant contract and becoming a believer, Mairrel couldn’t escape. Knowing her true identity, Mairrel also became tight-lipped, so there probably wouldn’t be any issues.

But… could she really manage to buy them?

*Wasn’t she likely to be attacked as a wicked dragon as soon as she appeared in human society?*

Of course, Eve didn’t discourage her, but let her go as she pleased.

Upon learning that the black dragon was going to human society to buy domesticated animals, the players got excited, clamoring to go together.

However, after learning about the distance, they were disappointed.

The nearest human country was also over seven hundred kilometers away from the core area of the Elf Forest, while the players’ activity range was only three hundred kilometers.

“Ah… we’ll have to wait until the human society map is available for exploration later on.”

The players were a bit regretful.

Although the players expressed regret over not being able to explore human society, the Underworld had already opened its doors.

The most adventurous players acted quickly, venturing into the mysterious Dark Territory through the underground caves…
