It's five o'clock in the morning, the sun has just risen, and Xue Dili has to attend an early class at eight o'clock.
He planned to sleep for only three hours and then open a teleportation gate to make it to class on ti. Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a communication from the World Consciousness.
Are there still invaders from other worlds directly invading Blue Star without even thinking about friendly communication?
Where are these otherworldly bumpkins from? Did you have wholesale production of your nine clans?
Xue Dili didn't hold back, he got up imdiately without even changing out of his pajamas, and opened a teleportation gate to the coordinates given by the World Consciousness.
...
At this ti, the knights of the Silver Country saw from afar that the rice plants were about a person's height, and they were all struck with awe.
As they got closer for a better look, they were even more shocked. A gentle autumn breeze blew, causing golden waves to ripple through the rice fields, like a sea shimring under the sun. It was a panorama composed of countless slender and full rice spikes, each one seemingly gleaming with golden brilliance in the morning light.
Even the Silver Princess, who had spent most of her ti in the royal palace and had never been to the countryside, was taken aback. Such a bountiful scene that could almost be called a "miracle" felt like a dream to them.
Not to ntion those knights who might have worked the fields since childhood, watching this scene, they couldn't help but swallow in amazent.
The Silver Country isn't very large, so many knights have worked in the fields and raised horses while training their bodies since childhood. When the kingdom called them, they would don their ancestral armor and shields to head into battle.
Even a female knight tore off a piece of a wheat ear. Though this grain was different from what they typically planted, she could distinctly sll the starch from the crushed rice inside, and feel the fullness of each ripe grain of rice.
Not a single one was empty!
And based on the weight of the rice produced by this ear of rice, they calculated a terrifying figure.
"Yield... a yield of three thousand pounds per acre! Her Highness the Princess, a yield of over three thousand pounds per acre! We've struck it rich, is this the Celestial Kingdom? Why is the yield of this rice ten tis that of the Silver Country? It ans no one here will ever go hungry; everyone can have enough to eat!" The female knight beca more and more excited as she spoke, even kneeling down by the rice fields.
The Knight Commander remained silent. Having also worked the fields as a child, he naturally understood how exaggerated this yield was. It could practically sustain the entire royal city of Silver City for a year!
Ten tis the yield? More than ten tis!
If the Silver Country were to have such Divine Valley descending upon them, they could train knights and mages more than tenfold, and no matter how powerful the witch attacking Silver City, no matter how evil the giant dragon, they would surely have no return.
But all of this was just their fantasy after fleeing to this Celestial Kingdom.
After Silver City was taken over by the evil witch, she could turn the entire Silver Country into a wasteland filled with thorns and flowers, with all citizens falling into endless slumber, while Silver City beca her toy.
This was sothing they could never forget.
And now, with this Divine Valley, in ten years, they could hope to train a few hundred strong army, with all of them above the Legendary Level, allowing them to easily defeat the giant dragon and storm into the witch-occupied Silver City to expel the witch.
"Perhaps this really is the Celestial Kingdom..." the Knight Commander closed his eyes. At that mont, looking at the rice fields, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
In the distance, an old lady riding an electric three-wheeler passed by the gravel road next to the fields and saw a group of "foreigners" going crazy by the rice fields.
And they all seed to be sothing out of "ani"? Silver and golden hair in all sorts, wearing armor with greatswords and shields, and soone who looked like a mage. The old lady couldn't understand, but she was greatly astonished.
"Hey there, foreigners? Hello?" The old lady only knew this one word in English.
The people from the Silver Country couldn't understand her, but they all looked towards the mage, who imdiately cast, "Communication Skill!"
"Why are you all squatting by the fields? Aren't those fancy ani armors expensive? Aren't you afraid of getting them dirty?" She looked at the knights touching the rice stalks one by one, and a blonde female knight who directly peeled open the rice to taste it. She couldn't understand what she was seeing, it shocked her for a lifeti,
"This stuff can't be eaten raw, and this is high-yield rice, not tasty, it's for feeding chickens and pigs, people usually don't eat it. Hey! Naughty kids still stuffing it in their mouths!"
She really didn't know that there were still many places in the world where people didn't have enough to eat, she just knew that foreigners were quite developed, and seeing them with either golden or silver hair, they must be from Europe, couldn't they have seen rice before?
The knights directly ate the rice raw, their strong, powerful jaws crushing the rice grains, and the fragrance of the grain and the burst of starch flavor made their bodies instinctively crave more.
Only then did they realize that in their escape from the witch and giant dragon's pursuit, they hadn't eaten or drunk for a day and a night. Stimulated by the flavor of the grain, tears uncontrollably dripped from the corners of their mouths.
They might even choose to cook a al from raw rice on the spot.
However, when they heard that this stuff wasn't even ant for human consumption, but for feeding livestock, the blow to them was as if Zeus suddenly appeared behind them, utterly astonishing.
"Old lady, let ask you, is this kind of rice only used for feeding livestock? Are there any better seeds?" The Knight Commander finally suppressed his shock like a country bumpkin and asked.
"Yes, my friend, there are... you Europeans raise a lot of cattle and sheep but know nothing about farming, right? We have potatoes and sweet potatoes here with yields of over ten thousand pounds per acre, but those are sold to factories to make chips. We also have corn that yields nearly ten thousand per acre, and sotis we grow soybeans and rapeseed, but these two only produce a few hundred pounds of oil per acre."
The old lady also found this quite novel, as a few foreigners were so fluent in Chinese (thanks to Communication Skill) and knew nothing about farming. She instantly felt an unparalleled sense of delight at showing off in front of foreigners.
"Ten thousand pounds per acre?" They didn't pay attention to the corn and soybean figures; their scalps just went numb with fear at that terrifying number.
They were already overwheld by these terrifying figures. Their minds were like being battered by these shocking numbers—ten thousand pounds per acre were wildly scattering in their heads, leaving nothing else to fear.
"Alright, stop plucking old Li's rice all the ti! It's not ripe yet, and don't go into that forest and get lost. Every year, quite a few people go in and never co out. I'm off to buy groceries now." With that, the old lady rode her electric tricycle toward the market, having an incomparable thrill from flaunting in front of foreigners early in the morning.
And the knights from the Silver Kingdom, holding the rice stalks in their hands, suddenly felt that the Divine Valley's over three thousand pounds per acre was no longer appealing. In their country, crops yielding more than five hundred pounds per acre were already considered a miraculous harvest.
Yet here, ten thousand pounds per acre might not even be the limit...
"Knight Commander, what do we do?" a young knight asked.
They were all shocked by the "Celestial Kingdom's" crops, at a loss for what to do, and they wondered if their group of ten or so could really conquer this farm?
The Knight Commander was also panting heavily. He looked toward the distant farmstead, facing the sun, and said, "Conquer! This is sacred ground, the place we have long dread of. We cannot be timid in fear; once we capture it, we'll just pay tribute to the Sovereign Country. Surely, the Sovereign Country wouldn't mind a farmstead?"
He comforted himself with these thoughts.
Soon after, the Knight Commander's stomach growled.
His expression cracked; they had fled for a day and a night, escaping the Silver Kingdom, traversed hundreds of kiloters of forest, and were already exhausted.
"Alright, knights, let's eat first since things have co to this," Silver Princess suggested.
"Yes!"
So they started gathering resources on the spot, digging a hole and filling it with nearby firewood, then grabbed a large bundle of rice and began peeling it.
The rice turned milky white when cooked in water, and even the princess swallowed a mouthful of saliva due to the strong aroma.
They were truly starving.
"Quickly rest up; we're going to seize the farm!" the Knight Commander said.
But just as he said this, a Teleportation Gate tore through space, and Xue Dili, in flip-flops and pajamas, stepped out, glaring at these people playing wilderness survival in the Otherworld with displeasure.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard the words "seize the farm."
These arrogant Otherworld bumpkins required a heavy hand.
At that mont, everyone from the Silver Kingdom was stunned. The space-tearing Teleportation Gate had them montarily at a loss. Although Xue Dili was dressed rather casually, his appearance beneath the dark circles instantly astonished both n and won, even making the Silver Princess pause, as if subjected to a charm check.
Likewise, the power to open a Teleportation Gate also left them amazed.
A young Legendary Level Mage!
Everyone looked at the most powerful Palace Mage among them.
But now, this Mage was drenched in sweat.
Others might just see Xue Dili as Legendary Level, and although his senses detected Xue Dili had just recently reached Legendary Level, that instinctive Seventh Sense made his hair stand on end the mont he saw Xue Dili.
The presence of a superior threat was tens of thousands of tis more terrifying than a Witch or a Giant Dragon!
No way! How could there be a Mage of this level here!
This Palace Mage even thought of using a Transformation Technique on himself to turn into a harmless little frog, seeking to avoid this terrifying aura.
And the Knight Commander looked at Xue Dili, believing he spoke with great respect, saying, "Oh foreign Mage, we are the Silver King's Royal Family who have fled here, seeking a land to restore our kingdom. If you agree to let us have this farm, we will appoint you as the Royal Palace..."
"What are you talking about!" Xue Dili imdiately cut him off with a zero-fra Holy Light Big Mouth slap.
