Cao Xing continued, "Besides this, make a pipeline several hundred ters long and install heating in every building within our territory."
"And also construct several iron gates, to be installed after Dazhuang completes the walls."
"This requires a lot of manpower, so the Tree Spirit Clan is at your command."
"Any problem?"
Subject Cao listened carefully, diligently recording each task Cao Xing instructed.
"No problem, Lord, I guarantee the completion of the tasks!"
Subject Cao also led a group of people to begin arranging the work.
At this mont, Dahua and Sanhua each carried a wooden food box as they approached.
"Lord, here's the secret rabbit at you ordered, freshly baked this morning, still warm."
"We added Golden Honey on top, it should taste good."
Even through the box, a rich aroma of at could be slled, making one's mouth water!
Cao Xing's face showed delight, for this was sothing he had asked Dahua and others to prepare last night.
Since he would be exploring and gathering resources during the day, possibly for a long ti outside, Cao Xing didn't want to just chew on bread and dry food, so he had Dahua and others prepare cooked food in advance.
Anyway, with his storage backpack, the heat of these cooked foods could be maintained for at least three days.
"Dahua, well done."
He stored all these food boxes away.
[Acquired cooked rabbit at *30]
The two food boxes each contained 15 rabbits, enough for them and the subordinates to eat for two days outside.
After finishing these tasks, Cao Xing took a look at his population.
[Current Population: 60/100]
With a population cap of 40 left, today he needed to see if he could bring back another batch of subjects.
After all, having more population ant stronger productivity, which translated to faster developnt.
If he had 20 more people now, he might even upgrade the [Primary Walls] to [Mid-Rank Walls] within a day.
Cao Xing thought, "I rember Hog Village seed to have a Zhuolan Tavern. I wonder if I can recruit so hero units or civilians to work from the tavern."
While he pondered these matters, Nif and Juliette from the Tree Spirit Clan exchanged a glance, and the two exquisitely detailed won gracefully approached Cao Xing.
The two won gently knelt down.
Cao Xing was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
Nif softly said, "Respected Lord, you saved my sister, and as agreed, I present the Pale Seed to you."
After speaking, Nif extended her fair hands, holding a white seed above her head.
Cao Xing ca to his senses and nodded, storing the seed away.
anwhile, the system prompt appeared.
[Task: Nif's commission completed, reward received: Pale Seed *1]
[Pale Seed (Orange): Magic Plant]
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect ①: When planted in the territory and once the Pale Seed grows, it can bless the entire territory, increasing Maximum Life Value by 10% and Life Recovery Effect by 10%. For each subsequent year of growth, the blessing effect increases by 1%, with a maximum limit of 100%.]
[Effect ②: Once the Pale Seed enters the growth stage, it will automatically absorb energy from the world, improving the soil around the territory and accelerating the growth of plants within the territory by 5%. For each subsequent year of growth, growth speed increases by 1%, with a maximum limit of 50%.]
...
After reading the introduction of the Pale Seed, a look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
Was it truly the case that it couldn't be anything less than an epic-level magic plant? It could increase Life Limit and recovery speed by 100%.
Moreover, it sped up the growth rate of all plants by 50%!
With this Pale Tree present, as long as Cao Xing found enough magic plants, he could prosper just by farming alone.
The premise was that this Pale Tree could live to be a hundred years old...
Cao Xing helped Nif and Juliette to their feet and then asked, "The growth cycle of the Pale Seed is too long; do you have a way to speed it up?"
The two won looked at each other, and Juliette softly said, "Yes, if so items containing pure life force can be found, they can accelerate the Pale Tree's growth."
"Iris Flower, Mo'er Pearl, Life Tree Heart, these can all accelerate the growth of the Pale Tree."
"But the most effective is the dew from the Pale Holy Tree..."
"Unfortunately, the Pale Holy Tree has already been destroyed..."
Saying this, Juliette and Eve had sadness on their faces.
Cao Xing looked at them and said, "Juliette, your sister should have told you, past hardships are nothing to fear. What's most important is the courage to start anew."
"In my territory, your Tree Spirit Clan will receive fair treatnt."
"So, are you willing to join us in building a happy territory?"
This was the first ti Cao Xing officially invited this Tree Spirit Clan woman.
After listening, Juliette wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
She glanced at Nif beside her, and Little Nifu also nodded with anticipation.
A smile blood on Juliette's face, as beautiful as the blossoming Moon Crystal Flower.
She softly said, "I am honored to join your territory, respected Lord."
[Tree Spirit Clan: Juliette has joined your territory, territory population 1]
A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face.
Then he looked at Juliette's Attribute, and what surprised him was, Juliette had just joined, yet her Loyalty had already reached 90.
This might be because Cao Xing had saved her.
