2626 The Deposit Vegetable Pod!
Lin Yuan had been very anxious about the construction of Sky City on Sky Sea’s back.
This was because Lin Yuan did not understand the Sleeper’s Revival plan’s aim, and he saw Sky Sea as his main strategic weapon against Tower Canon.
But now, he knew the true meaning of the Sleeper’s Revival plan. Tower Canon saw the entire main world as a tower defense game.
In land wars, Sky Sea that moved in the sky would not be of any use.
Lin Yuan’s sights were not only limited to the main world.
Sky Sea would only be of use in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Lin Yuan was not in a rush to have Hu Quan finish constructing Sky City on Sky Sea’s back.
Rather than begin building Sky City immediately, it would be more beneficial for Lin Yuan if the construction of the base in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was completed first!
Lin Yuan reached out and patted the soft fur on Genius’ back before he told Hu Quan, who was currently mesmerized by the Spirit Lock spatial zone’s environment, “Uncle Hu, if we call Sky Sea’s back Sky City’s base, this would be Sky City’s incubator. Or rather, this is the core world for Sky City’s members.
“I hope you will do your best to build everything that is meant to be placed here. That will ensure that everything produced in the base will be the best of the best! I will provide you with top resources! I will hand the resource list to you later, and Genius will provide you with knowledge on them so you will have a better understanding of the resources.”
In the past, Wen Yu was always the one who assigned tasks to Hu Quan. But she was now on the other side of the Barren Sea, helping Lin Yuan to search for the Continent Vein Cores.
Every member of Sky City skilled at governance had their own jobs to do and could not take charge of the design and construction of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan let out a soft breath.
It was clear that at the rapid rate that Sky City was developing, there were not enough members skilled in governance and interpersonal skills to go around!
However, when it came to constructing the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan could only trust friends like Wen Yu and Liu Jie.
Lin Yuan was very willing to depend on Bai Qinghuan, but he would never trust her as much as he did Liu Jie and Wen Yu.
Genius was like a daddy’s boy and understood Lin Yuan’s thoughts well. When it communicated with Hu Quan, it could offer some helpful suggestions on Lin Yuan’s behalf.
Hu Quan had been on a path of continuous breakthroughs and had surpassed the Class 5 Spirit Craftsman level. If he could match Night Leaning Moon’s skills in mechanics, he could be given the title of Class 6 Spirit Craftsman.
Hu Quan had the skills, but his experience was lacking. He did not recognize or understand many of the precious resources that Lin Yuan possessed. Thus, he struggled to combine them with his designs.
Lin Yuan handed the resource list to Hu Quan so that he could gain an understanding of these spiritual ingredients he had never seen or even heard of before.
Hu Quan could definitely flesh out his designs.
Hu Quan’s expression of mesmerization morphed into joy upon hearing that.
Lin Yuan had always treated him well and trusted him greatly. He even allowed him to handle resources as precious as Island Whale bones.
Lin Yuan was aware of all of this and was very grateful for the trust that Lin Yuan had in him.
Before entering the marsh world, Hu Quan always thought Lin Yuan had already given him the best resources he possessed.
But after entering the marsh world and gaining an understanding of the resources available there, as well as Lin Yuan’s status in the marsh world, Hu Quan finally learned he had only had access to relatively impressive resources. Only now was Lin Yuan giving him access to the most precious resources!
Hu Quan badly yearned to carve out a small world using these precious resources.
Being a Spirit Craftsman came with a certain level of OCD personality.
There were currently very few structures in this environment, and he could design and construct infrastructure with functional-type properties.
Hu Quan assured Lin Yuan, “Young Master, I have much more time to work now that I have contracted the Vitality Sloth! Feel free to let me know of any ideas you have. Once I understand the effects of these spiritual ingredients, I will build a base per your requests as soon as possible!
“You know that I love combining feys with the environment. Many feys need to be nourished by elemental energy. Is it possible for you to nurture a few high-quality Bronze Deposit Vegetable Pods? I would like to store the elemental pearls in them.”
The Deposit Vegetable Pods would not use up the elemental energy within the elemental pearls but could use the elemental pearl to nourish the lifeforms in the surroundings.
The Deposit Vegetable Pod was also very beautiful. It resembled a crystal legume that had jade vines.
Once the beans ripened, they would also leap out on their own. They would also serve as gorgeous accessories when paired with the elemental pearls’ radiance.
There were many feys in the world. Genius had read about plant-type feys like the Deposit Vegetable Pod in a book about Spirit Craftsmanship when it had been gathering information.
The Deposit Vegetable Pod started out as a cash crop. Its beans had a very similar taste to peas but were cheaper than peas.
However, the Deposit Vegetable Pod did not produce many beans and was quickly eliminated from the list of cash crops.
It was a Creation Master who had accidentally poured spirit fluid over the soil while nurturing the Deposit Vegetable Pod and managed to evolve to Flawless.
When the Deposit Vegetable Pod was evolved to Flawless, it could activate and use elemental energy to nourish the environment. However, this would drain its store of elemental energy.
The Class 2 Creation Master who discovered this wrote and published a thesis that caught the eye of a Class 4 Creation Master.
This Class 4 Creation Master was from Sea Sky Creation and was likely one of Ji Feng’s ancestors.
Class 4 Creation Masters had stronger capabilities and more resources to conduct experiments on feys.
When this Class 4 Creation Master evolved the Deposit Vegetable Pod to Gold/Epic, he noticed that it no longer drained whatever was placed within it when it was nourishing its surroundings.
This discovery had spurred the Class 4 Creation Master on, and he was motivated to invest more energy into evolving the Deposit Vegetable Pod.
After painstaking and exhausting efforts, he was finally able to nurture a new Silver/Legend Deposit Vegetable Pod that could use elemental energy to nurture its surroundings better than the Gold/Epic Deposit Vegetable Pod could.
This meant that the Deposit Vegetable Pod was a special fey that had stronger effects at lower grades and high qualities!
However, low-grade/high-quality feys were extremely difficult to nurture. At the very least, Class 4 Creation Master resources were required.
The resources would be better used to nurture the Elemental Shellfish rather than low-grade/high-quality Deposit Vegetable Pod.
The same amount of resources could produce more than ten elemental pearls. Three to four elemental pearls would be able to change an environment to a far greater extent than the Deposit Vegetable Pod could.
Thus, the Deposit Vegetable Pod was rarely brought up.
After Hu Quan mentioned the Deposit Vegetable Pod, Genius immediately sent all the information related to the Deposit Vegetable Pod to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. Filling the Deposit Vegetable Pod with elemental pearls would indeed be very suitable for the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
Firstly, it would be very easy for Lin Yuan to nurture the Bronze/Legend Deposit Vegetable Pods.
Furthermore, he had a large number of high-quality elemental pearls. He did not have an urgent use for these elemental pearls, so storing them in the Deposit Vegetable Pods would not be a waste!
Lastly, the Deposit Vegetable Pod was beautiful enough to blend in with the Spirit Lock spatial zone’s environment.
Based on Hu Quan’s suggestion, it was clear he had put a lot of thought into the Spirit Lock spatial zone’s design.
“Uncle Hu, I will be able to provide you with 100 of the Deposit Vegetable Pods within two days. Rather than filling them with elemental pearls with outer radiance, I think that filling them with the elemental dolls will be a better choice.”
While Lin Yuan spoke, he took out two elemental dolls.
Elemental dolls had intelligence imbued into them from their elements.
The elemental pearl was still the core of the elemental doll. But being imbued with intelligence, the elemental pearl could contain emotions and manipulate movement.
If the Deposit Vegetable Pods were filled with elemental dolls, they would fly around the Deposit Vegetable Pods and produce a more pleasant sight than if the Deposit Vegetable Pods were filled with elemental pearls.
More importantly, the elemental energy in the dolls was much purer than that of pearls.
Using a combination of the Deposit Vegetable Pod and elemental dolls to nourish the environment would undoubtedly be much more beneficial for the other feys.
Hu Quan was no longer surprised by Lin Yuan’s capabilities.
When he previously asked Lin Yuan for resources, he prepared himself for a long wait. Yet, Lin Yuan delivered the resources to him within a few days.
Hu Quan had never seen the elemental dolls before and intended to ask Genius to explain them to him.
Hu Quan was not a Creation Master. As a Spirit Craftsman, he did not have the strong investigative and sensing abilities for spiritual ingredients that Creation Masters did.
Genius had used Connected Tails to send knowledge to Hu Quan more than once.
Hu Quan really liked how he could gain a sea of knowledge just from being linked to Genius’ tails.
“Young Master, tell me about the structures you want to build in advance. There is no limit to the height of this space. With my current mechanical abilities, I can use metal spiritual ingredients to build a high-speed elevator or spatial-type spiritual ingredients to build a transport vehicle.
“If you only need me to build tall structures, I think that the high-speed elevator will be more useful. After all, the transport vehicle will use up energy. But there won’t be this concern for a high-speed elevator. A mechanical core will be needed to build a high-speed elevator, and this mechanical core will produce energy on its own.”
When Lin Yuan heard what Hu Quan said, he could not help but be reminded of the skyscrapers from his previous life.
The Spirit Lock spatial zone was indeed enormous now. As Lin Yuan continued to develop, he would need to use more of the space. Thus, regardless of how large the Spirit Lock spatial zone became, it would be difficult for it to catch up to Lin Yuan’s needs.
Thus, he would be very willing to try building upward to maximize his utilization of the space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
“Uncle Hu, I would like you to build a base for Creation Masters. There isn’t a limit to its height, so it’ll all depend on your abilities. I need there to be 500 rooms, and each room has to be around 80 to 100 square feet.
“There also needs to be two sets of cat trees made of jade-textured wood. The work tables need to be around 60 centimeters in height. You can place around 20 centimeters tall futons below each work table. You don’t have to create the bottles used to concoct spirit fluids. I will purchase them from the Creation Master Association.”
Lin Yuan paused for a moment before looking at Hu Quan and smiling. “Uncle Hu, I’m sure you know why I have such a plan. I hope you will be able to complete it for me with perfection in mind.
“Additionally, dedicate a space to build a place for cat-species feys to live. It will house around 1,500 cat-species feys. The cat-species feys are able to adjust their form, so there’s no need for the space to be too big.
“Breeding bases will also be needed to grow the Soldier Ration Radishes and Item-Storing Walnut Trees. Move all the marsh soil meant to nurture the Soldier Ration Radishes and Item-Storing Walnuts from the marsh world to below these two building bases.
“The Barren River Orchid Bud can be grown between these two breeding bases! It will be able to benefit from the energy of the marsh soil under the two breeding bases.
“Don’t forget residences for yourself and the other Spirit Craftsmen as well. The conditions of your living spaces will remain the same. The only difference will be that it will now be in high-rise buildings. Every month, I will send you twice your base wages.”
Hu Quan earnestly made notes of all of Lin Yuan’s requests. He preferred to write everything down rather than rely on his memory. He had a good memory, but it was inevitable to miss out on some things when there were too many things to remember.
Hu Quan was not stupid. He had discovered the army of Hundred Questions Beasts in the past year that he spent in the marsh world.
He had been astonished when he first found out about the army of Hundred Questions Beasts.
If a species of fey could be nurtured into Creation Masters, this would spell massive changes for the main world.
This secret was enormous.
Hu Quan judged others based on his own values. He was afraid Lin Yuan would act against him when he learned he knew this secret.
It was not that Hu Quan did not trust Lin Yuan but that this secret was far too earth-shattering.
But now, Lin Yuan was bringing up this matter without hiding it from him.
Hu Quan was so touched that he came to a decision. He would never leave the Spirit Lock spatial zone for the rest of his life, aside from when Lin Yuan sent him out on jobs! He would also rein in the Spirit Craftsmen and ensure they caused no trouble.
There would be significant benefits concerning his quality of life and lifespan if he lived in this environment.
“Young Master, I have recorded everything that you said. I know why you have requested such designs, and I will enact them exactly as you requested!”
