I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

After some time, Goblu finally figured out the general purpose of the machine.

Then it discovered...

This thing is called a planting machine, but only a fool would actually use it to grow things.

Although Murphy's words were entirely about planting, Goblin managed to glean a few insights from between the lines.

"Freedom"

Perhaps it's because Murphy was too concerned about how the planter would perform in different soil conditions when designing it.

Therefore, there is no other word to describe this spider planting system except "freedom".

Once a region is selected and marked off with spider silk, the spider will automatically collect resources within that area.

Especially in mining, it can be said to be even more effective than planting.

However, Goblu suspected that this was probably Murphy's doing, with the aim of speeding up their mining efficiency.

So that we can supply goods to Murphy.

However, Goblu wasn't foolish enough to specifically ask about something that was clearly a win-win situation.

"So, what do you want to plant?"

After Murphy finished teaching, he asked with some curiosity.

"Food crops?"

"Actually, I've always been curious about this. I remember goblins don't have a habit of planting, right? And their diet is mainly meat, right? So what do you grow?"

Ye also asked.

"It mainly consists of tubers, which are a specialty of this area. Although the taste is just average, the yield is extremely high, and it also has some oil. There really isn't a better product than this."

Goblu replied.

Ye suddenly realized something, then her eyebrows curved slightly, and a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

"I forgot about that, isn't it called leaf potato?"

Goblu looked at the person in front of him with some surprise; the person was so pale it looked like he had been dead for many years.

He smiled and casually offered a compliment.

"That's right. I obtained the seed of this thing by accident when I was rescuing humans who had been captured by other goblins."

I never expected that someone as distinguished and dignified as you would be so compassionate towards the common people.

Seeing this, Srui nodded slightly. This type of potato is also grown in the north, and it is said to have spread from the south.

However, along his journey, he discovered that this plant is rarely grown in the south, and even if it is, it is mainly used for making animal feed.

Old Ke's reaction to the name was somewhat different.

"Isn't this the thing you came up with? You're still growing it? I thought it was extinct."

"You've been to the north before, haven't you? They grow this stuff all over there, don't they?"

Ye retorted, perhaps because Gobru was in a good mood after planting the crops he had cultivated.

He spoke to Goblu in a slightly gentler tone.

"Although quite a while has passed, I still know this crop quite well. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

"I'll probably trouble you if I have the chance," Gobru replied politely without actually asking anything.

Murphy, however, asked out of curiosity.

"Can you modify plants?"

Murphy grew increasingly curious about the somewhat dazed corpse.

Although he looks silly, he seems to be quite knowledgeable.

"It's not exactly a modification, but it can change the properties of some items."

Ye didn't want to dwell on this and changed the subject.

"Weren't you still researching this planting machine? Why have you stopped now...?"

But when he looked at the soil again, he found that it was covered with a layer of milky white, like snow.

His words caught in his throat. He had actually noticed the commotion, but he hadn't expected such a change to happen when he turned around.

Why turn the soil white?

"That's spider silk," Murphy replied.

Before Ye could speak, Old Ke took the initiative and asked with some curiosity:

"So why put the spider silk on the soil?"

"Keep warm and moisturized, provide nutrition, and monitor the farmland," Murphy replied succinctly.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Ye Jianmofei suddenly uttered a few inexplicable words, which were somewhat disconnected from the context, making him even more puzzled.

Murphy found explaining the principle too troublesome, so he patted Ye's head again and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ye could only look helplessly at Sirui.

"I'm not entirely sure about that either. Why don't you go up and take a look for yourself?"

Nasri also had something to say.

If he understood Murphy's thinking, he would have developed this thing long ago.

They still need to painstakingly use their half-baked traditional druidic magic to grow crops.

Ye is currently in a zombie body, and his perception has decreased significantly.

Seeing this, he could only step forward himself, squat down in front of the farmland, and carefully examine the thin layer of spider silk on the soil.

He could sense a large amount of ice element crystals and essence on the spider silk.

But besides that.

After looking at it for a while, he could understand why this thing was used for moisturizing and keeping warm.

If it's about providing nutrition, then I can understand a thing or two.

But what does it mean to monitor farmland?

His fingertips gripped a strand of hair and wrapped it around and around.

But I still can't find a solution.

Then he got up and walked around the farmland, and then went to the control panel.

At the very top of the control panel, there was an area covered with grids.

Ye speculated that this thing probably refers to the monitored farmland.

He examined the machine carefully four or five times, but found no sensory magic on it.

He even looked at the spiders around him four or five times, but found no clues whatsoever.

He could only sigh in frustration and walk back to Old Ke and Siri's side.

"Any discoveries?" Old Ke asked.

"No, it just feels like there are a few more ice element crystals," Ye said.

"That's normal; those spiders were controlled by ice elemental crystals."

"Wait, what did you just say?" Ye asked in a low voice after hearing what Lao Ke said.

"This spider is controlled by ice elemental crystals, did I tell you?"

Old Ke's tone was slightly puzzled.

"Are you a dwarf? How can you be so stupid?"

Ye was speechless for a moment after hearing that, before finally cursing angrily.

"Controlled by ice element crystals..."

His gaze gradually fell on Murphy, who was seemingly exchanging something with Goblin.

Ye still didn't understand what this so-called monitored farmland was all about.

However, the fact that Murphy can control these spiders is enough to show that he has a significant connection with the ice element crystals.

So he whispered to the two people beside him.

"I suspect this stone man is not simple."

Old Ke and Siri were both taken aback when they heard this, and then looked at each other.

Then he looked at Ye's serious expression.

I don't know whether I should show surprise or shock at the right time.

However, Ye ignored the two of them and continued to lower his voice.

"And it's highly likely that it is the Ice Elemental Lord!"

"Oh...I see." Siri thought for a moment, then feigned slight surprise.

Old Ke, however, wasn't so accommodating and immediately started speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"I had no idea until you told me~"

Ye was even more confused when he saw this reaction, not understanding that Lao Ke and the others already knew about it.

"You all know about this?"

"Uh, I can guess a little bit," Sri said cautiously, using the most tactful tone possible.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Ye's eye twitched. If they all knew, then what he just did made him look like a clown.

"No, can't you feel its strong affinity for ice elements?" Old K said, still feigning innocence.

"No, how can I feel if I'm a zombie?"

Ye was completely exasperated and could only close his eyes and sigh helplessly.

"I can sense even my own skeleton," Old K said dismissively.

"You were a legend in your lifetime..."

…………

While Ye and Lao Ke were arguing.

Gorgobulu quietly led Murphy to a distance, where they gazed at the snow-white fields enveloped in spider silk.

He spoke slowly to Murphy.

"Mr. Murphy, are you familiar with the professional system?"

"Know."

Seeing this, Gobru finally revealed his purpose.

"Actually, I also have a special job, which is to manage territory."
