Chapter 17 Go to the Insect Nest to Collect Fungal Mat Fertilizer

If the system doesn't sell me Stardew Valley fertilizer, does that mean I can't use it in other games?

Biologically speaking, our race happens to be the embodiment of pure essence.

After getting off the cruise vehicle, Rod walked along the path for nearly half an hour before finally reaching the deepest part of the crop area.

The ground was completely covered by gray slime, which was still moving slowly, as if it were a living thing breathing.

This is the microbial aggregate responsible for providing nutrition to the vast majority of Zerg, the Zerg carpet. It can not only decompose biomass from the surrounding environment and transport nutrients, but also act as a living warning line for the Zerg swarm. As soon as an enemy of the Zerg steps onto the carpet, the entire swarm will immediately sense the presence of the enemy.

Rhode lifted his foot and stepped onto the outer edge of the creep. Under the command of the hive's psionic link, the gray slime consciously avoided Rhode's boots, leaving space for his soles, and then closed again after he left.

Of course, all of this is based on Rhodes' strong desire not to get his shoes dirty.

A cluster of hatcheries, as tall as small hills, sits in the center of this open space. In addition to the original first hatchery, the worker bees have mutated to create two new hatcheries in case of emergency.

Several springtails were chasing each other around the hatchery, while behind them, a young cockroach peeked out from its dark nest, curiously looking around.

The queen insect, who was in charge of managing this hatchery, also came over, raised her hand and bowed to Rhodes:

"Overlord of the Swarm, I have done as you instructed and placed the powerful psionic gland extracted from that human deep underground."

"Well done. What's your name?"

"I have no name. I am the queen insect you created. What would you like to call me?"

"I created her?" Rhodes was a little confused. This queen was probably created out of thin air by the system and then regarded herself as the creator, but he didn't want to correct her at the moment.

"In that case, you shall be called Leonora from now on."

"Yes, as you command."

Rod stated his purpose directly:

"Leonora, besides providing nutrients to the swarm within the hive, are there other ways to utilize the nutrients from the creep outside the hive?"

Why would you ask that?

Leonora narrowed her purple insect eyes, which glowed with psionic energy, seemingly not understanding why her leader would ask such a question.

"Once the fungal carpet leaves the insect colony, it loses its psionic connection, and the nutrients it contains will be absorbed by other plants and animals, making it impossible to preserve for long."

"That's great." This was exactly the answer Rhodes wanted to hear. "How much creep can the hive produce right now?"

"As long as the insect nest exists, the production of the fungal carpet will never end."

Rod couldn't help but clap his hands.

Now, there are not only two-meter-tall, free, heavily armored laborers to help loosen the soil, but also a fertilizer plant that produces fertilizer for free and has its own transportation workers.

They actually found a way to skip class.

A few days later, late at night, outside the fence of the private plantation of wandering merchants.

"Did you hear anything?" The patrolling officer turned to ask his colleague, feeling that he had just heard some noise from the bushes behind him.

"Is there?" His companion raised his flashlight and shone it behind him, but under the light, apart from a few sparse corn clumps that had not yet been cut down, there was not a single person in sight.

The law enforcement officer who asked the question scratched his head, but he had clearly just heard a rustling sound.

"Did I drink too much tonight?" The two continued their night patrol along the border fence.

After the two people walked away, the once flat ground rose up, and two springtails crawled out of the soil, happily shaking off the dust.

Several containers hung from their sickle-like appendages, looking somewhat comical and cute, while the springtails seemed a little uncomfortable, rapidly rotating their heads from side to side.

After a series of violent shakes, the container hanging from the springtail's head was thrown to the ground. Having completed its task, the springtail spun around and chirped a few times before running happily into the depths of the enclosure.

Under the cover of night, similar scenes played out repeatedly around the fence.

The next day, Rhode watched as the contract worker poured the now-deactivated, ordinary gray liquid from the container into the ground beneath his feet, and began to pray.

Hopefully, the inactivated fungal carpet won't cause any trouble. Even though Lope's body showed no abnormalities after the Queen treated her with the lactate last time, Rhodes still felt uneasy.

These liquids were still fresh and moving fungal carpets yesterday. He didn't want his parsnip to absorb this batch of fertilizer and then mistakenly remember which game it came from, turning into a mandala plant with legs that runs around everywhere and keeps screaming.

In addition to monitoring the growth of the parsnip to prevent accidents, Rhodes also had Aria look through the nearby star map to find potential buyers. Aria was very efficient and quickly found a possible place for him.

Dozens of light-years away from Esperan lies a space port called Blackwing Harbor, directly managed by the Empire. In the past, besides paying taxes and supplying the dynasty, Esperan would often trade its remaining crops at Blackwing Harbor.

However, that was decades ago. With the decline of the Vandrick dynasty, several planets broke away from the dynasty's control in the dim light of the starlight. Some planets lost contact and disappeared without a trace; some planets were invaded by aliens and completely destroyed; and some planets, disappointed with the dynasty, directly rebelled and became independent.

Although they claimed independence, it was only a declaration of independence from the merchant ronin dynasty. Every time the empire's tax collection ships flew to those planets, they would still dutifully pay their taxes.

If a planet becomes independent, a merchant ronin with only one cruiser might want to manage it but lack the power to do so. However, if you don't pay taxes, the Empire doesn't care how far away you are. They will actually send the navy to "talk" with you. In extreme cases where negotiations fail, they might even issue two extermination orders.

After listening to Aliya's report, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this side quest is still a long way from being completed.

I just hope the system will offer more periodic rewards.

The planting of parsnip is proceeding in an orderly manner. Workers water it on time every day. For parsnip with a four-day growing period, fertilization only needs to be done once before sowing. Excessive fertilization may not only be ineffective but also increase the risk of insect exposure.

Unfortunately, Rhodes cannot see the crop quality at all right now. The system's response is that he can only see the quality of this batch of crops after the parsnip is fully mature and harvested.

Finally, after a parsnip had matured, watching the contract workers bring out one parsnip after another from the soil, Rhodes directly opened the system's information panel.
