Chapter 149: Domesticating Black Pigs

[Hint: You spend 300 points of magic power to transform the high-quality farmland construction blueprint into a soil fertilization tower.]

The light faded, and a palm-sized defense tower appeared in Mo Yu's hand.

【Soil Fertilizer Tower】

[Level]: Normal

【Function】: Can increase soil fertility.

[Attributes]: 1 time/every 4 hours, ammunition (∞), range 1000 meters, occupies 1 grid, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Characteristic and appropriate ratio]: The soil fertilization tower will add appropriate fertility to the soil according to the current status of the soil and crop growth, and will not cause plant damage due to excessive fertilization.

[Introduction]: Yes, this is the automatic fertilizer spreader.

A relatively common auxiliary tower that can fertilize the land and increase crop yields.

But it is difficult to permanently change the land and transform ordinary farmland into high-quality farmland.

Therefore, although the converted defense tower has a larger applicable area, its effect is not as good as that of the directly built one.

Mo Yu gave up the plan to convert the remaining two high-quality farmland construction drawings into defense towers.

There were exactly two cards left, one for Teemo and one for Had.

He sorted out the construction drawings at hand, and looked for a place in the territory to place the high-quality farmland, oil press and rune wizard tower.

As for the construction, Da Zhuang will arrange personnel to go there for construction later.

High-quality farmland and oil presses are both common buildings that do not consume many resources.

The special thing is the Rune Mage Tower, which requires a lot of resources.

It requires 3000 gold coins, 3000 magic power, 3000 stone, 3000 wood, and five fourth-order magic crystals of each of the five basic systems.

The territory now has sufficient resources and can still be built.

Moreover, by being built by four human craftsmen, 20% of resources can be saved.

As for transforming it into a defense tower, Mo Yu had considered it, but there were risks.

The Mage Tower itself integrates many functions such as magic research and learning, magic experiments, and defensive fortress, and its functions are very complete.

He also intended to develop the territory's magic forces, so a building like this for mages to study and research was very necessary.

So in the end he did not take the risk and converted the Rune Mage Tower into a defense tower.

If it is transformed into a purely offensive defense tower, it would be more harm than good.

With the three buildings landing, plus the defense towers that had just been scattered out.

Mo Yu suddenly felt that the space in the territory was becoming crowded again.

It’s time to expand!
After the territory was promoted to the second level, it had another opportunity to expand. It only needed to defend against the monster forces within two kilometers around the territory.

But unlike the first-level territory expansion, the defense mission of this expansion will last for a period of time and requires at least two hours.

During this period, even if the surrounding monster forces had been cleared in advance.

They will also refresh the territory and recruit at least one monster force to attack the territory.

When the indigenous forces break into a territory, they will occupy that territory and establish their own base, thus gaining a foothold in the world of conquest.

"That is to say... compared to before, there is an additional random monster attacking the city."

"As expected, there are still some preferential treatments during the novice period."

Mo Yu nodded, thought about it, and decided not to rush to expand his territory.

After just experiencing a fierce battle with the Zerg, most of the defense towers’ ammunition has been exhausted.

It would take at least an hour or two to fully refill the ammunition.

Moreover, this point is also the time for the people to take a break and have dinner.

He planned to wait and do it later.

Just don't get mixed up with the monsters that spawn in the second half of the night.

"You two, call Annis and Shanlu over to my side. By the way, tell Dazhuang to arrange the construction staff." Mo Yu ordered the two goblin spearmen who were standing outside the yard waiting for orders.

No matter what time it was, Da Zhuang arranged two goblin spearmen to guard outside the lord's courtyard.

Their task is simple, to convey Mo Yu's orders.

As for the guarding task, they are not needed. There are only small stone monsters squatting outside the courtyard gate like stone lions.

The two goblins quickly followed the order and left.

Mo Yu took out the magic apprentice recruitment token from his backpack and used it.

Suddenly, an astonishing wave of magical power came from the token.

It automatically flew out of Mo Yu's hand and landed on the open space in front of him.

With the recruitment token as the origin, a complicated and mysterious magic array was quickly outlined on the ground.

After about ten seconds, the magic array was completed and a dazzling white light gradually lit up.

The light twisted and squirmed, gradually forming a human figure, and then began to slowly disperse.

More than a dozen figures wearing magic robes appeared in the magic array.

There are twelve in total, and they are the rare first-level magic apprentices recruited by Mo Yu.

At a glance, they seem to be all young.

The youngest one had a hairy face and was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old, while the oldest one was probably in his early twenties.

They held wooden staffs in their hands, wore apprentice magic robes of various colors, and looked around with curiosity.

Mo Yu clapped his hands to attract their attention.

"Welcome to join Tazhai. I am Lin Yaodong, the leader of Tazhai..."

A group of magic apprentices welcomed Mo Yu.

Some of them responded with greetings, some had a blank expression on their faces, and some even showed a pretentious arrogance.

Mo Yu saw it all.

After all, they are still a group of young people who have not experienced the beatings of society.

His eyes swept through the crowd one by one.

[Fire Magic Apprentice Clara]

[Level]: First-order rare
[Status]: Excited
[Abilities]: Fireball, Meditation, Flame Shock

[Description]: A newbie who has just embarked on the road of magic.

……

[Assistance Magic Apprentice Meryl]

[Level]: First-order rare
【Status】: Respectful
[Abilities]: Light of Courage, Meditation, Primary Magic Scroll Making, Primary Magic Array Learning
[Description]: A newbie who has just embarked on the road of magic.

……

These magic apprentices are not of a single category, nor are they limited to the five basic magic categories of wind, thunder, water, fire and earth.

The more special ones include auxiliary magic, light magic, etc.

Mo Yu had a special eye for a magic apprentice named Merrill. She was the only one among all the magic apprentices who had the ability to make basic magic scrolls and learn basic magic array patterns.

The territory now has no shortage of output from magic apprentices, so he naturally values ​​other abilities more.

In particular, Merrill also has the ability to make basic magic scrolls.

If this is trained, wouldn’t it be a perfect printing machine?

Seeing that the lord had greeted them but did not speak for a long time, these magic apprentices couldn't help but get agitated.

Just when a few of them were getting a little impatient, Annis came over.

As soon as they met, he bowed respectfully before speaking.

"My Lord, you are looking for me."

Mo Yu nodded and said, "Well, a new batch of magic apprentices have arrived in the territory. I'll leave them to you."

"Yes, Lord." Annis leaned closer and whispered, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Grind their tempers. I want people who can get things done."

After hearing Mo Yu's words, Annis subconsciously glanced at the group of magic apprentices and immediately understood.

As for other aspects, Mo Yu did not explain further.

This group of arrogant magic apprentices do not have much real ability, and most of them have high expectations but lack the ability to achieve them.

Let Annis educate him for the time being, and then make arrangements based on the situation.

Shahru also came over following the order. His hands were covered in dust, and as he approached, he could smell the smell of charcoal fire.

Seeing this, Annis led a group of magic apprentices downstairs.

Another magic apprentice opened his mouth to say something, but Annis kicked him and his head was pulled down by his companions with his head dazed.

Ignoring what was happening on Annis's side, Mo Yu pulled Shanlu over and asked him to sit next to him.

"Sharu, how are you doing lately? Are you used to the territory?"

"My lord, everything is fine, hehe... everything is fine." Shanlu said with a silly smile, touching his head.

After a few days, as he saw his territory gradually becoming stronger and stronger, his sense of identity with Tazhai became stronger and stronger.

Shahru knew very well that in such a territory full of talented people, he was actually nothing.

Therefore, I was naturally very touched by the lord's courtesy.

After a brief chat, Mo Yu took out the forging drawings of Gao Shi's giant axe and handed it to Shanlu.

Shahru's face lit up with joy.

This kind of forging drawing not only represents the forging method of a certain item, but he can also use it to improve his forging skills.

If you are lucky, you can even become an intermediate blacksmith with this blueprint.

He immediately knelt on the ground and expressed his gratitude. Then he took the forging drawings of Gao Shi's giant axe with both hands and studied it under Mo Yu's gaze.

"The territory is planning to build a battle axe team recently. You are responsible for preparing at least... um, 50 tall stone axes."

There are more than 190 units of iron ore in the warehouse. After Mo Yu integrated the resource heart of the black iron ore cave into the quarry, a small amount of iron ore can also be collected in the quarry.

Now the iron ore problem in the territory has been solved.

It may be difficult to supply equipment for large-scale warfare, but if it is just the farm tools for the territory and weapons and equipment for a small number of people, it will not be a big problem.

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

Shanlu took the order and left.

Mo Yu let out a breath and checked several resource points in the territory.

The Blessing of the Harvest Goddess and the Good Harvest feature of the Harvest Tower have the same function but different names, so the effects can overlap.

As a result, all resource nodes have tripled their output.

As for why it is not four times, you have to ask this damn algorithm!

The output of the two resource points has doubled, both relative to the output of the original resource points.

自然，1*2*2变成了1+1+1。

However, Mo Yu was also very satisfied. Now the red blood berry field, green sand lake, quarry and other resource buildings in the territory can all enjoy this bonus.

The red blood berry field can provide 30 red blood berries every day, which is enough for him to eat.

As for the quarry, the original resource output of 100 reached 300 after being strengthened by the Black Iron Mine Resource Heart. This wave directly reached a recovery amount of 900.

Unfortunately, I can’t enjoy this bonus today and have to wait until tomorrow to see the effect.

Another more comfortable point is that with the Tree of Life Tower + Blessing of the Goddess of Harvest + Tower of Harvest, the growth rate of crops in the territory is also greatly enhanced.

"Where is Da Zhuang?"

Mo Yu felt a little surprised when he saw that Da Zhuang had not come to the lord's courtyard yet.

Seeing this, the goblin spearman at the door immediately replied, "My lord, the steward at the ranch seems to have caught a few black pigs today."

"Black pig?" Mo Yu's eyes lit up.

Is it possible that the pork freedom that I have been longing for will soon be realized?
He hurried towards the pasture and soon saw a group of people gathered around a fence.

"Lord Lord!"

"Lord Lord!"

……

Seeing Mo Yu approaching, everyone immediately bowed respectfully.

Following the path they had cleared and taking a closer look, he couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that there were seven or eight big, fat black pigs in the fence.

One of them has a bulging belly, like a sow about to give birth.

However, these black pigs are very wild and are still very aggressive even when they are confined in a fence.

They formed a circle and protected the sow in the middle, growling fiercely at the people around them.

Several Brumans were inside the fence, using the tender green leaves of a plant to soothe them.

This is the most common way of approaching animals by calming them down with food.

"Are you sure you can tame it?" Mo Yu was very curious.

The term "pig" is synonymous with laziness and gluttony, but we are actually referring to domestic pigs.

Wild boars, on the contrary, are very ferocious.

The metaphor of one pig, two bears and three tigers is to illustrate the degree of harm that these three wild animals pose to humans.

From this we can see that wild boars are often very ferocious and wild species.

Is Mrs. Ster sure she can tame such a creature?

Da Zhuang scratched his head, obviously not clear about the answer to this question.

A tall man wearing a sackcloth turban nearby said with a grin.

"Don't worry, lord. We have tamed the aggressive fire rabbits, so how could we not tame these black pigs?"

"It's just a matter of a few more days."

His name is Dax, and he was the person in charge of the ranch appointed by Mo Yu.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu looked at the animal pen next to him and saw that, sure enough, those crazy little rabbits that were spewing fireballs a few days ago had become as docile as quails.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Okay then. I'll wait for your good news. If you can get this done, there will be a huge reward!"

"Also, it's cold at night, make sure the sow is kept warm. She's our golden nugget."

"Don't worry, we will take good care of it." Dax patted his chest, looking confident.

After some instructions, Mo Yu left and Da Zhuang hurriedly followed.

He stayed here just now because he knew that the lord had been talking about taming pigs for several days.

Therefore, he attached great importance to catching the black pig and personally watched Mrs. Ste tame the pig.

"My Lord, today was generally quite peaceful. The biggest gain was the group of black pigs hunted by Bruman and his men."

"We also caught a lot of other tinder rabbits and a firehorn bull, but it was too strong, so we had no choice but to kill it."

"There was less prey today. We collected about 2,000 units of wood, but not many other resources."

"Today there are ten red blood berries. I have picked them and put them in your warehouse. The salt field has also been built. We have collected about 500 kilograms of rock salt today."

"In the agricultural area, Had is currently cultivating and growing sweet potatoes..."

Da Zhuang reported the situation of the territory carefully, sentence by sentence.

The two talked as they walked, and gradually came to a tall tent.

The Tauren camp is built!
