Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 274 Silver-edged Clover
Josh plans to plant it in the designated pastures, mixing it with the regular grasses.

As we all know, in Warcraft, besides eating real food, you also need enough attribute-enhancing foods to provide energy for your body.

The better the quality of the attribute food, the more and purer the energy it provides, and the better it is for the monster's body.

When the food a monster eats contains very little elemental energy, it has to eat more food in order to absorb more elemental energy. Often, the monster's belly is already full, but it still doesn't have enough elemental energy.

This situation is very bad for the bodies of monsters, especially for those monster cubs that are still in the golden period of growth and development. It may cause them to suffer from stunted growth, which will eventually limit their growth and development and be very detrimental to their future leveling up.

The farm has many attribute crops, and even more magic fruit trees. Although they can all replenish the attribute energy of magical beasts, for herbivorous magical beasts, nothing is better than high-quality attribute pasture.

What's more, what they brought out was silver-edged alfalfa. Alfalfa has always been known as the king of forage, and its palatability and attribute energy are both top-notch. As a farmer, Josh could not resist the temptation of silver-edged alfalfa at all.

However, silver-edged alfalfa shouldn't be planted haphazardly, which is why Josh hadn't sown seeds before.

This time, Josh was confident, because both the fertilizer specially made by the golden dung beetles on the farm and the soft, fertile soil were things Josh had prepared in advance.

More importantly, Josh brought back a grass-tailed rat from the Foggy Secret Realm this time.

Although these past few days the little guy has been following the Skyrock Rat, appearing and disappearing mysteriously every day, I don't know where he's gone to play.

But the grass-tailed mouse had promised her it would help her grow pasture.

Needless to say, grass-tailed mice naturally prefer to live in oases with abundant pasture, and having a lush pasture is crucial for their training and development.

Josh arrived at the first pasture she was resting at today. The soft soil was from a yak she had asked a couple of days ago to turn over the grass with minimal effort, to provide a good growing environment for the silver-edged alfalfa that was about to be planted.

Alfalfa is a perennial herbaceous plant with a well-developed root system, and this one in another world should be no exception. Not to mention that it is a high-level crop with higher requirements, and a high-quality soil environment is the primary factor for its growth.

The big-tailed yaks turned the soil very well. Although the roots of other grasses were inevitably damaged during the turning process, the extent of the turning was very small, and given their tenacious vitality, it had little impact.

Moreover, it's not spring yet, and most of the pasture is hay, so turning the land will cause very little damage to the grassland.

"Niu Niu, turn the soil over one more time."

"Moo~" Okay.

The ground in front of us was a darker shade, as if covered with a thin layer of black soil, which was fertilizer brought by the golden dung beetles over the past two days.

They learned a new collective skill: they could quickly gather fermented fertilizer into a giant sphere using their energy. Upon reaching the land needing fertilization, several golden-armored dung beetles would activate the skill together, resonating to amplify its power, rapidly and evenly scattering the sphere of dried fertilizer to achieve the desired fertilization.

For large farmlands, this skill might be too weak to meet their needs, but for ranches that don't require much fertilizer or long-term use, the golden dung beetles' new skill is still very useful.

At least Josh thinks it looks pretty good right now.

Fertilizer was evenly scattered across the pasture, and Josh held silver-edged alfalfa seeds in her hand, scattering them as she walked. She didn't even dig holes or trenches; she just casually tossed them aside in areas with sparse grass.

Because silver-edged alfalfa seeds are very small, they only need to be covered with a thin layer of soil. Too much soil will suffocate them and prevent them from taking root and sprouting.

After Josh sprinkles the soil, the big-tailed yak simply sweeps its tail to cover the soil with a thin layer of dirt—it's that easy.

As for why Josh planted these silver-edged alfalfas scattered among ordinary pasture, it's because he didn't have the resources at home.

If you plant silver-edged alfalfa on a separate patch of grassland, once the alfalfa is ready to eat, they will definitely only eat silver-edged alfalfa and not other pasture grasses.

That would mean either not having enough energy or eating until you burst, which wouldn't be good.

They were mixed together, with both good and ordinary hay. They would eat some of the ordinary hay to fill their stomachs first, and then nibble on some of the higher-grade hay to replenish their energy. Josh had arranged everything perfectly for them, ensuring a balanced diet.

Sowing these little seeds was simple, and Josh quickly finished the task. Looking back at the still full sack of seeds, Josh wondered if he had been too stingy.

No, absolutely not. Josh shook her head. It must be because these silver-edged alfalfa seeds are too small. She had already sown seeds over an entire pasture, and this bag of seeds didn't look short at all.

It's really durable.

This pasture is finished, but there's another one to go on.

Josh put the seeds into his spatial backpack, then used a small ladle to scoop out half a ladleful of seeds and scattered them as he walked.

However, the farm is too big, and the planned grasslands are also large. It would be time-consuming for Josh to measure them on foot, but if he rode a big-tailed yak or a hopping lamb and scattered the seeds, they would easily be blown away by the wind.

So, although this task was simple to do, it really took Josh several days to complete.

These past few days, not only Josh has been busy, but Oswin has also been working hard. The underground pipeline route in the Weiguang Commercial District is due for acceptance, and he has been busy checking the results. Someone who didn't know much about this field has forced himself to become a semi-expert.

Don't be fooled by the small size of the commercial area; that's only relative to a farm. If you were to develop it into a complete commercial district, the area would be enormous.

Previously, because of the trees blocking the way, no one noticed. After the trees were cut down, Goben and his team also set up barriers along the roadside, so people passing by couldn't see anything.

However, once the basic structure was completed, the construction barriers no longer served their purpose, as the exquisite architecture attracted the attention of every passerby.

The carvings on the building's facade, in particular, become even more exquisite after they are completed.

Even more people came to ask. After talking with Josh and Oswin, they both felt that this was free advertising. Whenever someone asked, they would explain it to them in detail.

However, in addition to these curious businessmen, the thieves and robbers that Josh had been guarding against also visited the Weiguang Commercial District many times.

Although there are brown-headed crow vultures patrolling irregularly, those bad guys always manage to find an opportunity to steal things that don't sell for much money. Although it doesn't amount to many Federation Points, it still causes some minor trouble for the construction site's production.
