Chapter 464: Chapter 464
This abnormal behavior made Su Long immediately beg Grandma Jing to teach him how to wash flour and make cold skin noodles and wheat gluten. He promised that he would soon let Sister Jing eat her beloved cold skin noodles so she would no longer say such horrifying things. He was wrong; he would not overeat again.
However, Jing Shu was genuinely in a good mood today. Although the process had not been entirely pleasant, the result was a bountiful harvest. After briefly updating Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing on the situation and finishing their meal, Jing Shu locked herself in her bedroom on the second floor of the German MAN RV. She began to thoroughly tally her supplies and the items that could be openly declared. This, of course, included everyone’s gifts.
The fat chicken lay in its nest, fiercely staring at the Sulfur Ant Queen, which was busily laying eggs, and at these Sulfuric Acid Ants continually taking over its territory, making it quite agitated.
While tallying her existing supplies, Jing Shu continued to plan for the future. After all, she sometimes had so many things that she would forget what she possessed and their uses.
First were the 120,000 various kinds of bullets they acquired today, which should last for a long time without issue. They could even support Jing Shu’s side to fully engage in several small-scale wars. The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Next were today’s supplies. They didn’t take up much space, so she categorized and placed them accordingly. Daily necessities were stored in the villa area, and industrial goods were put in the warehouse. However, since most of the food lacked Spiritual Spring essence, Jing Shu didn’t care for it. She planned to use it for fostering relationships and as gifts, considering it suitable for her extended family and even friends.
Products with Spiritual Spring characteristics were reserved for her own family’s use.
Later, she had exchanged 4 million Virtual Coins’ worth of red earthworms and Gold Dominator for supplies also valued at 4 million Virtual Coins. However, she then used these 4 million Virtual Coins to purchase that 20-acre plot of prime land. Additionally, she had to use all the Virtual Coins she had saved over the years just to make the down payment. From now on, she would have to make monthly loan repayments using food and supplies.
Jing Shu began to jot down her current issues and plans:
1. Renovate the factory land and put it into production as soon as possible. Resolve the accommodation problem for the thousands of nearby people with Jun Jia.
2. Find a suitable place in the factory to breed a batch of Sulfuric Acid Ants and extract sulfuric acid from them.
Jing Shu already had a plan for the primary use of the purchased land: the Spiral Fish Stink Algae Wu You’ai had given her yesterday.
Second Form! With a shift of her consciousness, Jing Shu saw her Magic Cube Space packed to the brim. She passed by the ’herds of cattle and sheep’ and squatted in a corner of the Magic Cube Space, observing what she had cultivated the previous day.
It was covered in layers of rotten corpse insects, which were now ubiquitous, feeding on the algae. Jing Shu had scooped a large number of these from a stinking gutter the previous day, killed them, cleaned them, and placed them with the Spiral Fish Stink Algae as food.
Wu You’ai had said that as long as they had protein, these algae could grow and reproduce like crazy. To accelerate the process, Jing Shu had also supplied them with Batch No. 2 spiritual spring liquid.
And now, in just a single day, one cubic meter of space had been completely filled by this seaweed!
Once the seaweed was cultivated, Jing Shu placed a portion of it, less than half, with the red earthworms. This seaweed served as feed for various fish, as it could autonomously synthesize protein and assimilate nitrogen. However, Jing Shu didn’t plan to use it just for feeding fish; she intended to use it for breeding red earthworms.
Previously, the red earthworms had multiplied like crazy without any feed, but the current ones needed something more. Despite Jing Shu’s many attempts, they still couldn’t breed as they once had. Solely using the Spiritual Spring for reproduction was impractical. How much Spiritual Spring did she possess? And how much would be needed to breed them on a large scale? In the end, individual power still seemed too insignificant.
I hope this algae doesn’t disappoint me.
3. If the algae proves to be a viable feed for red earthworms and boosts their reproduction rate, implement the next phase: recruit workers for the factory site. Designate one area for the low-cost collection or breeding of rotten corpse insects, another for cultivating algae, and a third for feeding red earthworms to expand their breeding scale.
There are too many rotten corpse insects. If I can truly find their value and utilize them, perhaps I could alleviate some of the disaster in Wu City’s fifth year, right?
Indeed, Jing Shu acquired that plot of land not just for herself but also to mitigate the scenario of a total crop failure in the fifth year. Back then, Government was recklessly cutting budgets everywhere, even going so far as to confiscate Qian Duoduo’s Stone Garden and kill Qian Duoduo—all because of the pressure from food shortages.
If Jing Shu’s factory could mass-breed and cultivate red earthworms and align with the Government, perhaps when famine struck, fewer people would die, and the Tyrant wouldn’t be pushed into a corner. In that case, the Tyrant probably wouldn’t target Stone Garden anymore... right? After all, I also hold shares in Stone Garden.
But who knows, with the Tyrant’s temperament.
4. Investigate if the drug ZS880 can enhance the reproductive ability of red earthworms and algae if they reach their natural reproductive limits, based on the knowledge that cell division is finite.
Thus, Jing Shu initiated the second batch of experiments with the algae and red earthworms.
5. Await the arrival of the second batch of supplies, Seeds, and rare minerals from the Imperial Capital. Discuss with Jin Tianci upon their arrival.
6. Address Hao Yunlai’s unconscious state. Study the withered tree and red liquid. After consulting with Yang Yang, begin experiments to verify her guess... or rather, begin treating Hao Yunlai. Yes, everything I do is to save my companion.
7. Breed lion-headed geese. Remodel the family’s newly acquired large courtyard. She was quite looking forward to the 300-square-meter space.
8. Prepare for the mudslides expected in six months. The villa and the large rear courtyard will be the first to be submerged. Recall the effective method someone used in her previous life and devise a plausible reason for constructing such a large protective structure.
Jing Shu, biting her pen, had a sudden flash of inspiration. No need for reasons. I’ll do it just because I like it, because I’m extravagant!
9. Address recent mental fogginess, memory lapses, and forgetfulness—likely a new ability from the Magic Cube Space’s impending upgrade. Cautiously welcome and expedite this upgrade, as the current Magic Cube Space is always insufficient!
10. Acquire an armed helicopter for transportation. Set this as a near-term goal.
That’s enough for now; I’ll add more if I think of anything else. Jing Shu, satisfied with her recent plans, stayed up late to record all the supplies and place them in the Magic Cube Space before finally going to sleep.
Jing Shu, sporting her ’panda eyes’ with satisfaction, began distributing the gifts she had sorted out the night before.
