The Defeated Dragon

The conch that can produce pink pearls has not yet been reported by fishermen, so Liszt doesn't know where to find this conch, so he can only wait.

He has been in Heima Island for a week, and he is going to return to Huahua Town.

By the way, complete the new smoke mission.

Mission: The fishermen in Oyster Village are no longer afraid of the shallow water on the shore, and dare to dive into the bottom of the sea to catch seafood, but they don't know all the seafood. As seafood lovers, why not guide the fishermen to identify the delicacies in the sea. Reward: Mutant rubber trees.

Woodworking workshops use thorns and rubber to produce many high-quality sampans, which allow fishermen to arm themselves and fish offshore.

However, they saw a lot of marine life on the bottom of the sea, but it was not easy to identify which marine life was edible, and it was always the seafood that could be picked up on the beach.

I don't seem to know a lot of seafood. I can eat it but I can't catch it. After thinking for a while, he decided to adopt a stupid method, let the fishermen salvage all the creatures that can be salvaged from the bottom of the sea, and then choose the ones he knows and the ones he doesn't know one by one. , Do some toxicity experiments to verify whether it can be eaten.

Just when he was about to leave Heima Island, his heart suddenly moved.

A faint restlessness came, and he quickly opened his eyes wide: It's the rubber worm triplets. Immediately, he asked the servant to bring the three rubber worms.

At this time, the rubber worm triplets who like to line up and move in sync most, one of them left the line and crawled around in the jade box.

It can be felt that it has a very restless mood, more restless than the other two.

This is a rare case.

Little guy, what's wrong with you? He carefully established a more in-depth spiritual communication with the rubber worm, which is the ability supported by the contract.

Soon, he discerned a trace of unique emotion from the restless emotion of the rubber worm - it actually wanted to spit out its own caterpillar fungus.

Isn't the rubber worm's cordyceps already planted in the rubber plantation, and it hasn't been moved since the contract. What does this rubber worm mean? Liszt raised his brows suddenly, Could it be, it's brewing in the body Is there a new Cordyceps plant?

If you think about it carefully, this possibility really exists.

Perhaps that's what the Smoke quest rewards - the restlessness of the rubber bugs.

Since rubber worms want to spit out Cordyceps,

Of course Liszt would not refuse, he quickly rode Loki the chocobo and ran towards the rubber plantation. The tentatively planned area of ​​the rubber plantation is 1,000 mu, and eventually it will reach 10,000 mu, or even 100,000 mu—the more of this miraculous crop, the better.

However, there are not many rubber trees in the current rubber plantations, and the number of them is sparse.

The original rubber tree Cordyceps still stood upright in the center of the garden. Liszt roughly calculated its radiation range, then went to the distance, found a park with flat terrain suitable for planting rubber trees in the next step, and put the very restless rubber worm in his hand : Little guy, spit it out.

The rubber worm crawled on Liszt's palm, raised its head, and opened its mouth.

Spit out a faint green light, the light contains a small seed, after the seed lands, it germinates and grows quickly.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, within three minutes, it grows into a rubber tree almost as tall as the previous rubber tree Cordyceps.

However, the difference is very conspicuous. There are dense white spherical fruits hanging on the rubber tree Cordyceps. Common rubber trees, including the first rubber tree, Cordyceps, show no signs of fruiting. Moreover, rubber trees reproduce by relying on adventitious buds from their roots.

It is often found that around the rubber tree, new seedlings will grow, and these seedlings are all derived from the roots of the rubber tree.

Liszt ordered the serfs to dig up these new seedlings and plant them in the rubber plantation row by row to continuously expand the size of the rubber trees.

so.

It is a plant that reproduces asexually.

That's why Liszt is surprised now that the rubber tree Cordyceps, which has no flowers and no fruits, actually bears fruit directly. He thought for a while, and at the risk of damaging the Cordyceps, he picked off a fruit—the fruit and leaves of the Cordyceps, which would lose their magic power soon after being picked, and become ordinary plants, at best better.

It is not a big problem to pick only one rubber fruit that is full of trees.

Playing with the gum fruit that was gradually losing its magic power, Liszt couldn't help feeling: Elf worms are really full of wonders. It was a single Cordyceps plant that gave birth to three elf worms. Now, the three elf worms gave birth to a new Cordyceps tree... Does this mean that the next time the rubber worm gets restless, it will give birth to a new Cordyceps plant? Or is it a mutated Cordyceps plant?

Things work out.

He returned to the port town, took the loaded Huahua, and set off for Huahua Town—the Huahua was fast and his special ship.

When sailing is boring, except to tease the Blizzards.

He spends more time researching the rubber fruit. When he drilled a hole out of the rubber fruit with a hard outer shell, he found that the rubber fruit stored inside was all rubber.

That is to say, the new rubber tree will concentrate the rubber in its own fruit? I was pleasantly surprised, Does this mean that the new rubber tree will be easy to collect rubber and will not harm the tree itself? Wait for the new seedlings Send it out, and let the serfs try farming immediately!

It is very troublesome to collect rubber, and it will damage the trees. If the rubber is concentrated in the fruit, it will not only be easy to pick, but also easier to store.

Such a rubber fruit can be stored for several years without spoiling like coconut fruit.

Value is higher.

...

After arriving at Huagang.

Liszt's expectations for the rubber fruit have been suppressed.

He rushed to the administrative office first, and met Isaiah, the administrative officer: The sampan fleet in Shenghaotun is already familiar with shallow sea fishing operations, but they still know too little about seafood. Isaiah, give the sampan in Shenghaotun immediately The fishermen of the board fleet gave orders to search for all kinds of creatures from the bottom of the sea.

My lord, what do you mean?

We need to develop new seafood to recapture the Coral Island market, instead of just relying on oysters and oil-consuming small businesses. I need to restore the seafood market that is more popular than last year.

Yes, my lord, I immediately issued an order to the oyster village to let them salvage all the creatures that can be salvaged.

In addition, you have to send people to Coral City to buy a batch of boat nets and fine nets. There should be fish schools in the waters near Huahua Town. You can try to catch sea fish.

At present, the seafood salvaged in Huahua Town are all shellfish, molluscs, shrimps and crabs, and sea fish are rarely salvaged.

But the most abundant in the sea must be all kinds of sea fish, and Liszt will not let go of this resource. If all goes well with this year's development order, he will definitely bring back tens of thousands of serfs, so there must be insufficient food, so he can only use sea fish mixed with grain to fill the stomachs of the serfs.

I understand. Isaiah replied, and then said, My lord, the corngrass field you let me pay attention to has made new discoveries.

Oh, what discovery?

A new piece of mutated corngrass has been discovered. The stems and leaves are fat, and the ears are also fat. It can directly squeeze out thick oil. It tastes very fragrant, much like the butter we eat.

Liszt frowned again.

no doubt.

The oily mutant corngrass that was rewarded by the previous smoke task was discovered.
