The three of them chatted in the subspace. In fact, Merlin and meg also liked to stay in the subspace. After experiencing the calamity of extermination, they preferred a carefree place like the subspace. It was a paradise.
In addition, Merlin and the rest had only recently discovered that when they were in the space, their magic cultivation speed was much faster than when they were outside. This was something that meg had discovered first.
Meg was only a level-six mage, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. So, when she was in the space, she would also practice magic. However, when she first entered the space, she was too busy and did not have time to practice. After that, although she felt that her cultivation speed seemed to be faster than before, she did not take it to heart.
It was only when she was out of the subspace and cultivating that she felt the difference. Thus, she took it to heart and told Merlin about this.
Merlin rarely cultivated it now because she was already an eighth-level great mage and had reached a bottleneck. Even if she wanted to cultivate it, she would not be able to break through the bottleneck in a short period of time. At her level, if she wanted to improve her strength, she would not only need to rely on the accumulation of mana but also an opportunity or an epiphany. In addition, she had too many things to do now and could not cultivate in peace. Therefore, it had been a long time since Merlin had specifically trained in magic. Naturally, he had not discovered the difference in space.
When Merlin heard what meg had said, he felt very strange, so she tested it out and found that the mana regeneration speed in the subspace was much faster than outside. For now, it was half as fast as outside.
Merlin had also told Zhao Hai about this situation, but Zhao Hai did not understand what was going on. However, he found that Merlin and the others were cultivating in the subspace, and it did not affect the subspace much. Thus, he did not care. In any case, the increase in strength of Merlin and the others would be beneficial to him.
After chatting for a while, the crops outside started to ripen. The first to ripen wasn’t the radishes, but the peas. It took 18 hours for the peas to ripen. Zhao Hai didn’t expect the peas to ripen before the radishes. However, he immediately kept the peas. Not only were they edible, but they could also be used as seeds. However, Zhao Hai wasn’t planning to plant them now.
After harvesting the peas, two mu of land was cleared out. Zhao Hai did not do anything else and planted the two seeds. They were too useful. The earlier they were harvested, the better. It would be too late to plant them when they needed to be used.
There was only one peach in the one-acre plot of land, which made the interspace seem much emptier. Zhao Hai also tried planting corn seeds on the plot of land, but it didn’t work.
Although there was no way to plant anything on the ground, people could walk on it. However, Zhao Hai and the others were afraid that walking on the ground would affect the growth of the magic peaches, so they would rather take a detour than walk on the ground.
Two hours after planting the magical peaches, the radishes ripened. This time, because the seeds were kept, it took a full 20 hours for the radishes to ripen. However, the harvest made Zhao Hai very happy. The seeds of the radishes weighed 80 kilograms per mu, which was 160 catties. In two mu of land, he had harvested a total of 320 catties of radish seeds.
After collecting 150 kilograms of seeds, Zhao Hai immediately planted the two acres of land with radishes. He wanted to see how many seeds were needed to plant the two kilograms of radishes.
After the two acres of land were planted, Zhao Hai could not help but smile when he saw the amount of seeds used. Only four catties of seeds were used for the two acres of land. He now had more than 300 catties of radish seeds. It seemed that he would not have to worry about seeds for a long time.
Two hours later, the pumpkins ripened. Zhao Hai stored the two acres of pumpkins in the warehouse and planted the radishes. Finally, the cucumbers ripened. The cucumbers took a full 28 hours to ripen, and Zhao Hai had decided not to plant cucumbers anymore.
In the meantime, Zhao Hai harvested another season of oil fruits. When he planted the radishes in the cucumber farm, Zhao Hai finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In total, Zhao Hai had 150 gold coins, two mu of cucumbers, two mu of peas, two mu of pumpkins, two mu of cabbages, two mu of cabbages, two mu of eggplants, two mu of wheat, 15 seasons of oil-fruit, 28 seasons of corn, and eight mu of radishes.
There were quite a lot of these things. Cabbages, eggplants, and pumpkins were famous for their high yield. As for the oilfruit trees and corn, they were the most in Zhao Hai’s storage. 300 oilfruit trees could harvest 450000 pounds of oilfruit in a season, and corn could harvest more than 10000 pounds of corn in a season. These two things were the most in his storage space.
As for the corn, Zhao Hai was not planning to use it as feed. Corn could be made into grains, but further processing was required. Although they had the millstone, Zhao Hai did not plan to process it immediately.
After the corn was processed, the chaff could be used as feed. If he added the radish leaves and processed the oilfruit into oil and oil residue, the oil residue could also be used as feed. In that case, he might not need to use the corn as feed. The waste of the chaff and oil residue alone would be enough to feed the magical beasts in the space.
Although there were no magical beasts in his space now, he would have them soon. Three hundred blue-eyed rabbits was not a small number. He remembered that when he played the game in the past, the normal rabbit’s consumption of feed was one point per two hours. In other words, two hours for a rabbit could consume one pound of radish leaves. This consumption was not small.
The blue-eyed rabbits on the ark continent were about the same level as the rabbits on earth. However, the rabbits on the ark continent were much more aggressive than those on earth, so Zhao Hai had no idea how much food the blue-eyed rabbits needed every hour. He would only know when Grimm returned.
However, he had collected quite a lot of radish leaves, enough for him to last for a while. The people in Iron Mountain castle were planting clovers on Iron Mountain. Once they finished planting all the clovers, Zhao Hai could let them process corn, which would provide them with food again.
After they finished trading with Laura, Zhao Hai would be able to buy some oil extraction machines with the iron. By then, he would be able to extract oil from the oilfruits, leaving behind oil residue and the fodder.
Zhao Hai didn’t plan to keep too many animals in the interspace. First, it was the problem of the food. Second, he wanted to leave some space to catch more animals to raise. After all, he could tell that leveling up in the interspace was different from playing the game. In the game, you could level up by farming and raising animals. However, in the interspace, the chances of leveling up by farming were very low. It was far slower to level up by bringing plants from the mainland into the interspace. It was probably the same in the pasture. Therefore, Zhao Hai was not planning to use the interspace to raise too many animals to level up. That would be too slow.
After settling the matters in the origin space, Zhao Hai was bored again. He looked at the screen in the origin space and walked back and forth between the two teleportation points. The castle was as busy as ever. The male slaves were repairing the city walls, while the female slaves were being asked by blockhead and the others to plant clovers. Zhao Hai was very satisfied with their arrangement.
Without the protection of a magic array, the defensive capabilities of the iron Mountain castle’s walls were limited. Even if they were repaired, they would only look good. Hence, there was no need to rush. They could take their time to repair them.
It was even more tiring to plant clovers. Clovers were easy to work on. As long as the seeds were not eaten by birds, they would grow on their own. Of course, planting clovers was not that simple, but it was not that complicated either. They just had to dig a small hole in the ground, throw the seeds in, bury them in the soil, and pour some water on them. However, the weeds on the mountain had to be cleaned up, or they would compete with the alfalfa for land.
The weeds were cleared, so they couldn’t waste them. Chrysanthemum and the others used the weeds to weave straw mats. Other than straw mats, they had never stopped researching straw boats. Although there was wood now, it was a waste to keep the weeds. The straw mats couldn’t be woven too much, and they couldn’t be bought. Almost all the civilians outside knew how to weave straw mats. No one in the noble family used this kind of straw mat. Chrysanthemum and the rest stopped and started to study the grass boat.
However, this had to be done step by step. For now, chrysanthemum’s main job was to plant clovers. Although it was very simple to plant clovers, she had to plant a lot of them. The seeds of clovers were very small, and Grimm’s group had bought clovers seeds to improve the land on the iron Mountain, so there were a lot of clovers seeds, enough for them to plant all over the iron Mountain in the castle. Thus, they had to put aside the matters of making straw mats and studying straw boats in their spare time.
Seeing that the castle was fine, Zhao Hai stopped looking at it. Instead, he contacted Zhao Zui and the others. Zhao Zui and the others had already entered the rotten corpse swamp. However, they were still moving around the outer perimeter of the swamp. They had not encountered any powerful magical beasts or undead creatures.
Although Zhao Hai could communicate with Zhao Zui and the others through the space, he had no idea where Zhao Zui and the others were because he had never been there and had not set up a teleportation point there. He could only ask them about their situation through such a way.
Zhao Zui and the others were doing well. They had listened to Zhao Hai’s words. Their main purpose in entering the rotten corpse swamp was to explore the way. They were not in a hurry to go further in. There were no powerful magical beasts or undead creatures at the periphery of the rotten corpse swamp. They could handle the situation with their strength.
Seeing that they were fine, Zhao Hai was relieved, and once again switched the screen to Rocky Mountain.
There were only Zhao Qi and Zhao Lian at Rocky Mountain, and nothing happened. The undead creatures were still mining for rocks, and everything was peaceful.
Zhao Hai’s finger was idly moving on the touch screen under the remote control. His eyes were fixed on the big screen, but his heart was thinking about green. At this moment, something on the big screen caught Zhao Hai’s attention.
