The work of flower fairies and sprites is very simple – they just need to find a place to be a quiet mascot which can benefit the surrounding plants.

Sometimes they use ‘growth’ or ‘fragrance’, and then their work is complete. The rest of the time, they can just lay low and slack off.

Lord Shepherd envied them.

“After all, the flower fairies are military units with supportive buffing capabilities. The real work of soil cultivation, fertilization, weeding, harvesting, is naturally done by the common people.”

“By now, 100 one-star fields and numerous ordinary fields have been developed to the South, hoping that they can enter the profit stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’m going to go broke.”

For example, it costs 200g of Soul Sand to develop a one-star field, it doesn’t sound much, but for 100 fields it requires a total of 20 Soul Crystals.

The construction of other civilian houses, watchtowers, fences, has also consumed about 7 to 8 Soul Crystals. He’s trying to save wherever he can.

Plus, the purchase of various crop seeds, basic materials, etc., the expenses are adding up.

He can’t cut back on the provision for training his main forces.

As a result, he is now scraping the bottom of the barrel to buy Remnant Souls. He dare not buy even ordinary one-star Remnant Souls in excess. It really goes against his identity as the Great Lord Shepherd.

“No wonder many independent lords can’t hold on and have to accept outside investment.”

“Even those lords who have accepted investments from large groups are complaining about being poor. The Liver Emperor seems to have gotten dark circles under his eyes from overworking these days, and even the rich second generation, Mr. Tan, seems to be no longer bragging about spending money lavishly. Even in Krypton Gold, he’s now considering its cost-effectiveness.”

If you don’t become a lord, you’d never realize how expensive the costs are!

Only when he can make money while laying low, will he be able to live the comfortable and pleasant life of a lord.

Lord Shepherd turned his gaze to the fields in the south.

Farming area.

Today, Seventeen is not wearing her armored outfit of God Archer. This is because the Lord said that the heavy armor and majesty are not conducive to grassroots work.

Seventeen doesn’t understand what grassroots work is, but she does whatever the Lord says.

Primarily, she obeys orders.

She always carries her war bow on her back. Dressed in a brown outfit, her waist belt was tightly fastened, which accentuated her tall and graceful figure.

Her medium-length hair was tied up high in a ponytail, swaying in the wind.

“My fellow citizens, I am here on behalf of the Lord to announce an important matter, which is about the arrangement of your future work.”

Upon hearing these words, the over one hundred territory citizens did not resent her, many of them even seemed relieved.

Having work to do is the right way.

Otherwise, the Lord’s lavish treats with no work to do scares them!

Seeing that the territory citizens in front of her were orderly, Seventeen’s tense heart slightly relaxed, she opened her mouth and suddenly froze in place… What was she supposed to say next?

Last night, the Lord had talked to her late into the night and handed over this difficult task to her, which put her under a lot of pressure.

For this, she sought the advice of the old seniors Boss Dead Bone and Duo Lai, even wrote down some points to note on small pieces of paper, and memorized all the words she should say today.

However, she forgot everything when she got nervous.

Sweat beads started to form on her forehead. She felt more pressure now than facing ten occupational level monsters at once.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Seventeen bent down slightly. With the dexterity and quick reaction of her profession as a God Archer, she swiftly retrieved the note in her hand, glanced at it, and put it back within half a blink of an eye.

She cleared her throat, kept a straight face, “These seeds are the crops we will be planting in the future, including Crystal Rice, Hemostatic Grass, and Filling Fruit tree.”

The Crystal Rice produced by the Crystal Rice crop is the most common food in the Tai Xuan Alliance. The rice grains are like pearl crystals, with a rich aroma, not only delicious but also beneficial to strengthen the physique if consumed by ordinary people over a long period.

For the strong, eating Crystal Rice can’t provide buffs but can quickly fill them up, so they won’t have to eat ten or twenty bowls of ordinary food to fill their bottomless stomachs.

Nowadays, as Xuan Country gradually lifts the blockade of the Supernatural World, Crystal Rice is quickly entering the market and is favored by the rich.

The price of rice has risen slightly.

Out of 100 first-class farmlands, Mu Yuan is preparing to plant Crystal Rice on 70 of them. Of course, Tianyuan Territory has also opened up quite a few ordinary fields, planning to grow ordinary, unranked rice, wheat, corn, and so on.

At this moment, someone hesitated to ask, “My lord, will it be too little if each of us only plants one field?”

“No-”

This was a good question, one she had prepared for.

The words of the lord flashed through her mind, and she recited faithfully, “Crops that have entered the ranks are not easy to grow. Watering and fertilizing must be done in a timely and appropriate manner, and we must guard against weeds and pests in the field.”

“Note, the weeds that grow in special farmlands are exceptionally tough, and must be removed in a timely manner, otherwise it will affect the growth and harvest of the crops. The same goes for the pests. If you encounter pests that cannot be exterminated, look for… um, look for me.”

Just by explaining it verbally, it’s hard to make everyone understand.

However, the omnipotent lord had already arranged everything thoroughly, and all the seventeen had to do was follow suit.

“Follow me.”

Leading a group of commoners, Seventeen arrived at the edge of the tilled farmland, at the spot marked ‘Test Field’.

Here, stalks of Crystal Rice were already growing, about half a person’s height. Their rice grains were already plump, and even enveloped in a layer of husk, they shone under the sun like water crystals.

This was what Crystal Rice looked like when it had grown.

It was the rice that was produced last night when the Flower Sprites worked hard to use their ‘Growth’ skill, and Seventeen had also irrigated quite a bit of Vitality spring water to promote growth.

The quantity was not large, occupying only a small corner of this acre of land, but it was enough to show the extraordinary nature of the Crystal Rice.

One could also clearly see the rather conspicuous and ugly weeds growing next to the rice.

A commoner tried it out.

The weeds were indeed very tough, even cutting with sharp weapons required some time and effort to eradicate them.

Suddenly, several pale red pests with thin wings, about half the size of a fingernail, burrowed out from the soil and pounced on the plump crystal grains.

Wild pests had appeared!

What to do at this time, what to do?

Seventeen quickly pulled out a small piece of paper to look at it, and sighed with relief, “Thank the omnipotent lord.” She also thanked herself for memorizing all the words the lord had said and writing them down on a small piece of paper. If she dropped the ball at a critical moment, as Lu Liu put it — she would be the one to blame.

She took out a small piece of paper to sneak a peek and her thoughts raced, all happening in an instant, as fast as the arrows she shot.

Demonstration, pest control.

Control == Kill.

She muttered to herself, understanding, finally entering her realm of expertise.

“Watch my demonstration.”

As she finished this sentence, the seventeen who was like a girl next door disappeared, replaced by the Sharpshooter Commander, the powerful seventeen!

Her pupils firmly locked onto a few pale red pests in the distance, smaller than a fingernail. Between her slightly curved and folded fingers were several pointed bamboo stripes that could be used for skewering.

An invisible momentum erupted, blowing the dust on the ground away, forming a visible circle around her.

She made her move!

The bamboo strip, shot out like an arrow, produced a low humming sound that was difficult to discern. The next instant it was embedded in the soil in the distance, skewering a bug that had been pierced through.

Seventeen’s powerful aura dispersed momentarily. She was very pleased with her masterpiece, this was probably her most perfect performance today.

“Do you understand now?”

But she saw that Commoner A, Commoner B, and Commoner C were showing a wide-eyed and small-eyed expression.

Seventeen: “(*0~O)”

That’s not quite what I expected..
