Shipping goods from the game to the World of Warhammer

Rhodes narrowed his eyes as he looked at the newly appeared mission and unlock prompts.

Expanding the influence of the Vandrick dynasty can be approached from two main aspects: first, by increasing the number of planets under its control, thus expanding the territory of the entire merchant ronin dynasty to more regions.

But he only has one cruiser flagship right now. If he expands blindly and destabilizes the base of each planet, he might have to spend his whole life running around in the subspace.

Putting aside everything else, the rebellion in just one agricultural world almost plunged his dynasty into a famine crisis. If it were Espera or Esperia that rebelled next time, wouldn't he be busy putting out fires everywhere again?

It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the rebellion on this planet has just been suppressed and that we still have the help of the Zerg swarm to control it, and develop this planet properly. At least we should ensure that this planet can supply most of the food needs of the entire dynasty before proceeding with the next step of the plan.

"To get rich, you must first climb the technology tree..." Rhodes opened the panel, preparing to work on some interstellar agriculture-related technologies, and the first thing that came to mind was Stellaris.

Stellaris is a game about cosmic expansion, but ever since Rhodes was held back by the $100,000 universal energy cost when he was upgrading to Tier 2, he has been on his guard.

Before choosing a game, you must first check whether the cost is within your budget.

The system also brought up a preview of the StarCraft game panel's spending. Of course, just one glance was enough for Rhodes to decide to put StarCraft aside for now.

The cost of just one of the most basic technologies in sociology, soil remediation related to the planet's environment, reached 7500, instantly turning Rhodes's 5000+ universal energy from a considerable income into a pittance that even a dog would shake its head at.

Keep in mind that in the original game, it only required 750 sociology research points.

Furthermore, with the cost of Tier 2 technologies in StarCraft 2 going up, Rhodes couldn't guarantee that subsequent technologies like nano-active crops and alien soil fertilization wouldn't be the same.

"It's just agricultural production; you think you can't succeed without technology? I don't believe it!"

Rhodes continued searching through the list of games in his consciousness, and soon remembered the game from his past memories.

He has to get up at six o'clock every morning and then stay up until two o'clock in the morning, collapsing in front of his bed. His work intensity is comparable to that of the Warhammer world, but his body will never be exhausted. He is a farmer superman.

Stardew Valley.

There are many types of crops in it, and seeds are easy to obtain. Unlike the three giants of sandbox survival games next door, where you have to go out into the wild every day to try your luck for any kind of seed, or even the NPC who sells seeds can only appear after you defeat the boss, and the types of seeds you get depend on the weather, location, and her mood.

Rhodes opened the game preview, and the information on the panel surprised him even more.

The crops here retain most of the original data characteristics, making them not only very easy to raise, but also having a growth cycle almost exactly the same as the original.

What does it mean for parsnips to mature in four days with just daily watering? What does it mean for a hen to lay one egg a day?

The output of this planet alone can not only solve the food supply problem of the Vandrick Dynasty, but also leave a large surplus for trade with other powers.

In an agricultural world, fresh vegetables and meat may not be scarce, but in the world of Hive or Foundry, fresh fruits and vegetables are privileged foods that only nobles can enjoy, and most lower-class residents can only survive on foods such as corpse starch.

If Rhodes can solve the transportation problem in the future, the planet's output could even allow fresh crops to be served to the common people of the planet.

With excitement, Rod clicked the confirm button.

"Open the new game store interface."

A short while later, Rod came out of his new residence.

The glass of the luxurious suite where he stayed last time had been shattered, so it was naturally unsuitable for the traveling merchant to stay in. Therefore, Esperan arranged another suite for him, which was second only to the previous one.

Pushing open the door, one can see the ivory-white walls and pillars of the Governor's Mansion, where the nobles who hold power on this planet are entering in twos and threes.

Nearly a week has passed since the rebellion on this planet was quelled. After the former planetary governor, Pave, was turned into a machine servant, Lope, the original guard, was appointed by Rhodes to take over his position.

Although he was a member of the Austin family by blood, neither the Austin family nor other families in the Esperan aristocratic circle looked down on this young man who came from a guard background. However, due to the authority of the traveling merchant, they had no choice but to obey him on the surface.

Rhodes also knew that a mere appointment was not enough to transform a guard into a governor who managed a planet. Therefore, he arranged a complete training course for Lope, including but not limited to Aria's political management, the etiquette and culture of the Esperan noble circle, and the political maneuvering of several flagship adjutants.

Lope did not disappoint Rhodes' expectations. He was busy with various training sessions during the day and took time out at night to handle Esperan's affairs. In just one week, Lope had already learned to be quite proficient. At least when he was dressed in the governor's robes and stood in the center of the governor's hall, neither the nobles nor Rhodes's men could find any fault with him.

Lope still has a long way to go if he wants to completely control the forces on this planet, but judging from Lope's performance in training and handling affairs, Rhodes thinks it's only a matter of time.

Rhodes followed the crowd into the governor's mansion, where Lope was busy exchanging pleasantries with other nobles beneath the crystal chandelier.

"Wandering merchant!" Upon seeing Rhodes, Lopez respectfully performed the traditional Austin family salute, and the nobles present belatedly realized what was happening and stopped what they were doing to bow to Rhodes.

It's no wonder that the minor nobles on these planets didn't recognize Rhodes. After all, most of them were busy dealing with their own family affairs on this planet, and Rhodes had previously been arranged by Pavi to stay in the guest suite on the northernmost side of the governor's mansion, so he had never met these nobles from the planets.

"How's the thing I asked you to do coming along?"

"It's all taken care of. We've finished negotiating with the Lancaster family. That cornfield has been designated as your private property, and now no one but you is allowed to set foot in that area."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. Now, as long as the swarm didn't expand to the edge of this territory, he could cover up the existence of the Zerg on this planet.

"That's perfect. I also have a batch of new crop seeds here. Send some people in charge of agricultural production management to help me test these seeds."

This large territory, besides allowing the alien insects to develop, also provides an opportunity to do other things, such as trying to plant these parsnip seeds.
