Chapter 38：Daily Life in the Base: Farm

Because a vast amount of materials hadn't been worked on yet, other than the base having new training grounds, the other addition was a large building and a big-scale multi-functional farm.

The farm was a completely sealed ecological cycle farm with its own cycle of day, night, and the simulations of the four seasons. The ecology was like a perfect cycle that was targeted for the various animal and plant species on the farm.

These extraordinary species were chosen from the Wine Immortal Overlord's territory. At the very least, that was what the golden goblin had told him.

Among those crops, the red earth stem was a notable one. It was a stem-type product with the highest yield rate, produced on one of the four agriculture planets under the Wine Immortal Overlord. The raw fiber content was low, only at 2-4%. Its raw protein was at 7-15%, raw fats as low as 9%, and the nitrogen-free leachate as high as 67.5 to 88.15%. Its main composition—high-energy starch or polysaccharide—was easily digestible. Its special points: Huge quantity, able to make one feel full easily, and very low requirements needed for the planting environment. The finished product grown on the farm could be taken outside to try for planting.

Next, freshgreen crystal shoot was a crop with a slightly lower yield rate. However, it had high fiber and low sugar content, very suitable for warriors to blend it with meat to replenish their nutrients.

There were also mitan melons, a melon-type product with high water content. In addition to the nutrients of ordinary high-grade honey melons, they also contained a trace of minerals from the firefeather carbon. Planting it required a certain amount of nutrition fertilizer made from firefeather phosphorus. It was a high-quality fruit, and elves who didn't like to eat meat could eat this to replenish the nutrients on their bodies. 

Vegetables and various mature products exceeded over a hundred types. From their situations and nutrition tables, it could be seen that their quality wasn't bad. Xiye was pretty satisfied after seeing them.

Entering the farm, Xiye could smell the fragrance from the fruits and vegetations and immediately felt very refreshed.

"Sir Overlord is here?" The one who came out to welcome him was the farming instructor, Charlie Wilantel. In the Federation, the Wilantel Clan was an extremely famous major clan that specialized in agriculture science. The farm products they analyzed and grafted all had very high standards. Although their nurturing of rare plants couldn't be compared to elves, they were the popular choice for many overlords.

In Xiye's base, there were only two developers who had chosen agriculture science. The training course was too relaxed; hence, Xiye passed the farm for this instructor to manage as well.

Many elf balls were emitting the fragrance of flowers while floating about on the farm. These were pre-evolution flower spirits that Wilin sent here to plant crops.

"When will the first harvest be?" Xiye directly asked.

Charlie hurriedly replied, "Half a month later. I'm already very clear on all the special characteristics of the products in this farm, and we will start to implement the harmless ripening of fruits tomorrow. Most probably, we will have our first batch of ripe products in about half a month!"

"Mn…" Xiye satisfyingly nodded upon hearing this. 

(Finally, I no longer need to drink those damnable nutrients liquid!)

"What about meat?" Xiye asked a question he was most concerned about.

Right now, those green titans were growing extremely fast in the base. Their bodies were now still familiarizing themselves with their genetic strength, and the nutrients liquids were still sufficient to meet their needs. But once they evolved to a second-grade lifeform, they would need large amounts of fresh meat to grow. From Zanda's evaluation, a large batch of green titans would successfully evolve to the second-grade in a month or so.

If this farm still couldn't produce meat by that time, he could only import them from elsewhere. But during that process, it was very easy for his location to be exposed. Therefore, Xiye was really reluctant for this to happen. Even when facing that seemingly honest and simple Wine Immortal Overlord, Xiye also didn't dare to divulge the location of his base.

Xiye understood that although the Wine Immortal Overlord might look foolish and simple like the other pandarians, given how fast he was developing his businesses, he definitely wasn't as kind as what he appeared to be on the surface. Once Xiye's secrets and coordinates were leaked, the Wine Immortal Overlord might even instantly change face and devour him instead!

"For meat, the farm has some helm yellow cattle, pudo rhinos, and nikon beasts. They are high-energy beasts that are close to magical beasts in quality. We have already started to mass-produce them. If we have the help of mature flower spirits, we most probably will be able to provide for 30,000 green titans after three months," reported Charlie professionally.

Xiye touched his chin and nodded after hearing that.

Flower spirits had the talent of inducing birth, mutation, and controlling beasts. They were the best astral beasts nurturers and rare plant controllers in the Federation. Now, to use them to nurture normal beasts, it was truly wasting talent in an insignificant position.

But Xiye had no choice. Everyone in his base was geniuses. Didn't he also use such high-quality green titans for physical labor?

Some things had to be done by someone. In the future after the number of planets under him increased, these basic jobs could then be gradually transferred over.

After the consultation session with Charlie, Xiye was generally very satisfied. He nodded. "You've worked hard."

"Not at all, not at all!" Charlie hurriedly waved his hands in response. "It's good that I didn't let you down, sir overlord."

Charlie was still considered rather satisfied. He was able to work in such a high-grade multi-functional farm on an eighth-grade planet. This overlord was truly too damn rich.

Also, he had nothing to complain about the overlord's subjects. When he first arrived, those elves were still at their original states. At the start, he had felt that this overlord was being too extravagant. For wood elves, they were usually employed for gardening purposes, yet the overlord had gone to hire a specialization instructor for them.

And in the end, after a few days passed, Charlie had seen over ten soon-to-be flower spirits appearing.

After that, he understood that the compatibility rate of these elves was extremely high.

He guessed that this place was a minor power established by a grand overlord in secret. That overlord must have employed this Overlord Xiye to nurture high-grade subjects for him. Moreover, there had been cases of heavenly deities being controlled by grand overlords before. This must be one of those cases, or why wouldn't he and the other instructors be able to tell the origins of these indigenous people?

But this was good as well. Although this Overlord Xiye was a puppet, at the very least, he had powerful backing. This meant stability.

When Charlie thought of this, he still felt pretty satisfied with the current situation. The power had stability, the working environment wasn't bad, and the salary was high. For fresh graduates, it was considered an extremely fortunate thing to be able to find jobs like this. After all, the competition in the Federation's market was growing increasingly intense.

After he finished asking, Xiye returned to the elf training grounds.

Just earlier, he had received resumes of a ranger instructor and a high-grade magic controller from the talent network. What made him happy was that the headhunter actually found two people who were willing to consider coming here and be mecha instructors.

In addition, there would be another large-scale recruitment fair tomorrow. Xiye planned to return there and buy a few basic mechas and some high-grade astral beast spawns.

Basic mecha models were used to provide developers, who were aiming to become mecha controllers, with basic training. Astral beast spawns would be then handed to the flower spirits in his base.

He couldn't possibly let these high-quality flower spirits to simply care for a bunch of normal beasts, right? Although rearing jobs needed to be done, he must not waste their talent. He wanted to purchase high-grade astral beast spawns and rare spiritual plants to grow on the farm. As for the quantity needed to be purchased, he had to ask Wilin to give him an estimated number of flower spirits she foresaw evolving.

In the end, after he went back to the elf's base, he saw a large group of elves spinning there. He couldn't help but be astonished. "What are they doing?"

Wilin helplessly sighed. "They were provoked. All of them wanted to spin themselves into a spiral, hoping to become phoenix seeds…"

Xiye facepalmed. After that, he spoke to the A.I., "You...go and summon Old Master Lu and give him some information. Tell him to write a strategy guide regarding elf. However, he should mention fewer things about high-quality elf transformations while speaking more about the advantages of ordinary elf jobs.

A.I.: "Overlord, what identity do you want me to assume?"

Xiye: "The game's official headquarters!"
