Powerful Magic Peach

Chapter 90: Powerful Magic Peach

After arranging the castle, Zhao Hai and Merine went to Stony Mountain. Although there was currently nothing significant happening, Green was stationed there, and they were waiting for Laura. Therefore, Zhao Hai planned to spend some time at Stony Mountain.

Zhao Hai had matters to attend to at Stony Mountain. He wanted to find out who was behind Zhao Qian's sudden attack. Up until now, they had no clues, but the existence of that person behind Zhao Qian posed a significant threat to them. Hence, Zhao Hai was determined to discover the identity of that person.

With Drunk and his group providing support, it was certain that the person behind Drunk held significant influence. Because of this, Zhao Hai needed to find out who they were. If he couldn't identify this person, it would be like having a ticking time bomb without knowing when it would explode.

To investigate these matters, Zhao Hai didn't need to be physically present at Black Wasteland. With the existence of Transmission Points in the Space, he could easily travel back and forth between the two places. It was as convenient as moving between the front and back courtyards of a home. So he decided to stay there for the time being.

In fact, Zhao Hai preferred managing things from within the Space. Through the screens, he could observe the situation at Stony Mountain and Iron Mountain Fort. Moreover, the Space Villa had a hot spring and allowed him to listen to conversations through the screens. He no longer needed to physically go back and forth.

However, after Zhao Hai and Merine inspected Stony Mountain and found nothing unusual, they returned to the Space Villa. Upon their return, Zhao Hai checked the current inventory. First, he examined the outer area where ten mu of Oil Fruit trees grew. In the remaining eight mu of land, he had planted two mu of cucumbers, two mu of peas, two mu of pumpkins, and two mu of radishes. These radishes were the last ones he had planted in the Space. After leveling up the Space, Zhao Hai decided to leave one mu of land specifically for radish cultivation. He wanted to see how many radishes could be produced in one mu of land. However, it seemed that more than twelve hours had passed, and he had yet to collect a single radish.

Zhao Hai glanced at the growing crops. They had been growing for some time, and continuously monitoring them wasn't necessary. So he sat in the living room of the villa, observing the situation outside through the screens. Then, he opened the Warehouse page to see what seeds were available. To his surprise, he found numerous seeds in the Warehouse. There were seeds for Oil Fruit trees, corn, wheat, bamboo rice, red Fruit trees, vine-piercing plants, thorn grass, and even a bag of Magic Peach seeds...

Wait, Magic Peach seeds? What was this? Did he have such a thing? Zhao Hai became intrigued and took a small bag that appeared in his hand. As soon as he took it out, he heard the prompt from the Space, "Magic Peach, a mysterious Magic crop, Level 10. Each bag contains two seeds. Each seed can grow one Magic Peach tree. Each Magic Peach tree requires one mu of land and produces one Magic Peach. The tree is a two-season crop. The meat of the Magic Peach can instantly restore a Magician's magic power. The Magic Peach Seed can be used to acquire a pet. The pet can be of any form or level. Using the Magic Peach Seed requires the owner to drop their blood for recognition. Once recognized, it cannot be changed. Magic Peach trees cannot be preserved for planting and are exclusive crops of the Space, unable to be taken outside the Space!"

Zhao Hai listened attentively to the prompt. This was the most regulated and shocking plant he had obtained so far. The fruit not only had healing properties, but could also restore magic power. What was most astonishing was that the pit of the Magic Peach could be used to acquire a pet. As long as the pit was touched by a drop of blood and recognized the owner, it would forever belong to them. With this pit, one could acquire a loyal Battle Pet.

Although Zhao Hai's explanation was brief, Merine and Meg didn't fully understand the concept of a Battle Pet. As natural experts, they naturally desired to have a Battle Pet. They nodded enthusiastically, expressing their desire for one.

Zhao Hai shook the bag in his hand and smiled, saying, "In this bag, there are two Magic Peach seeds, a special reward from the Space. Each seed can only be planted in one mu of land, and one seed will grow into a Magic Peach tree. The Magic Peach's fruit can heal wounds and restore magic power instantly. But that's not the most important part. The pit of the Magic Peach can help you acquire a Battle Pet. Once you obtain the pit, just a drop of your blood is enough to establish a connection. The Battle Pet will then follow you."

Although Zhao Hai's words were concise, Merine understood them. Having a Battle Pet was the dream of every expert on the continent. Finally, they had a chance. Both Merine and Meg were overjoyed, grateful to have the opportunity for their own Battle Pet.

Zhao Hai opened the bag, revealing two ordinary-looking peach seeds. He examined them several times, but couldn't find anything special. He placed the seeds back in the bag and returned it to the Warehouse. Merine and Meg had been fixated on the bag, and once it disappeared, they regained their senses. Merine looked at the perfectly growing radishes outside and couldn't help but say, "I can't wait to see these Magic Peaches."

Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "Don't worry, once we have the necessary items, we can plant the two Magic Peach seeds and witness their wonders."

Merine furrowed her brows and asked, "Young Master, can't we use the fruit pulp of the Magic Peach for healing and instant magic restoration? It's a valuable resource, especially for us magicians. Currently, the continent has many potions that can restore up to 60% or 80% of magic power, but none of them are as effective as the Magic Peach. It would be a waste if we only consume the fruit pulp."

Zhao Hai smiled and reassured her, "It's not a problem. We can extract the fruit pulp and store it in the Warehouse until we need it."

Merine was surprised and sighed, "Young Master, sometimes your mind works in mysterious ways. I was only thinking of eating the fruit pulp and didn't consider extracting it separately. But Young Master, won't extracting the fruit pulp affect its efficacy? That would be a significant loss for us."

Frowning, Zhao Hai responded, "That's an issue we'll have to observe. We'll find out after we plant the Magic Peach trees."

Merine nodded and turned her gaze towards the outside where the Oil Fruit trees were growing. She asked, "Young Master, is it time for the Oil Fruit trees to yield their sixth harvest? Do you plan to plant more Oil Fruit trees?"

After giving it some thought, Zhao Hai replied, "I initially planned to plant radishes for a few seasons. The stock of radishes in our Space is currently too small, and if we were to trade with Laura, having an insufficient supply of radishes wouldn't be ideal. So, I think it's best if we plant radishes for two seasons."

Merine agreed, "That's a good idea. When we collaborate with Laura, we can ask her what crops she needs and then plant those. That way, we won't have to worry about finding buyers for our produce."

Zhao Hai nodded, appreciating the suggestion. It was indeed a good approach. It would be more beneficial to plant crops that were in demand, rather than risking an oversupply of certain crops.
