"Hu..." When He Yiming opened his eyes, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It took a whole day, but he had finally recovered a fair bit.
At this rate, it would still take several more days to fully recover.
He wondered how the players were doing.
"Hmm?" He Yiming walked out of the safe area, and when he took off into the air, he was dumbfounded.
Around the ancient city where the ancient people resided...
Vast stretches of farmland had been developed.
As far as the eye could see, it seemed endless, and it was impossible to estimate its enormity!
It was at least a scale of millions of acres.
Fortunately, the ancient land was large enough, and most of it was endless plains.
But...
How was this vast area of farmland cultivated?
It couldn't have been done by human labor!
"Damn!" He Yiming suddenly widened his eyes.
"Damn it, my Shinigami Gundam, you guys actually turned it into a farming machine!" Virtual Unreal cursed and grumbled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and keep reading! Let's cultivate another hundred thousand acres in an hour!" Evolution chuckled.
In front of He Yiming, the once stylish and handsome Shinigami Gundam...
Had been transformed into a gigantic farming machine. Apart from the original Gundam head being converted into a cockpit, it was recognizable, but the other parts had been altered so much that they were unrecognizable.
They weren't even humanoid anymore.
A massive plowing tool that was three kilometers long, capable of plowing an area three kilometers long in one pass.
Behind the Shinigami Gundam, there was a 640-seed automatic planting machine, which handled automatic burying, watering, fertilizing, and more...
"No wonder the cultivation speed is so fast. But even if they can cultivate such a large area, where do they get enough seeds? And where do they get so much fertilizer?" He Yiming couldn't help but wonder.
"Farm Brother is back!"
"Wow, amazing! I heard they found a secret location with reserves of ancient beast food. They not only killed an ancient beast to make a small profit but also plundered all its stored food!"
"Most importantly, they brought back years' worth of feces that this beast had accumulated!"
"Goodness, is Farm Brother really this amazing? How did he discover the place where the ancient beast stored its food?"
"Are you an idiot? Since it's a place for storing food, isn't it reasonable to eat and defecate there? Farm Brother's state of mind listens to the breath of a million farts. As long as it's within a thousand miles, even a fart the size of a grain of rice can't escape Farm Brother's discerning eye!"
"What can I say? Farm Brother is amazing!"
...
He Yiming lowered his head and saw the farm owner leading the way, followed by first-test experts like Wang Lufei and Emperor Zoro, returning with bags and bundles.
There were too many things, to the point that they couldn't even fit in storage rings.
"Everyone, this time we've successfully gained a thousand tons of ancient beast feces! Are you all happy? Hahaha!" the farm owner waved his hand triumphantly.
"Farm Brother is amazing!"
"Farm Brother is the strongest!"
"Farm Brother is invincible!"
...
He Yiming: ???
Alright, you guys are amazing! You're really amazing!
As He Yiming looked around, he noticed that at least over a million ancient people were following the farm owner's instructions, using the perfect-grade ancient beast feces fertilizer that the farm owner had prepared to irrigate the fields.
Although the combat power of the ancient people was lacking, they were extremely skilled at cultivating and planting crops. The tree people controlled many methods of using the ancient beast feces to fertilize and increase crop yields.
With the guidance of the Hornless Youth commanding the tree people, sharing all the experiences and techniques that the tree people had accumulated over countless years with all the ancient people, along with in-depth exchanges with the farm owner, they managed to quickly research the most perfect feces fertilizer.
"Right..." He Yiming nodded in satisfaction.
In just a day, at least over two million acres of land had been cultivated. The subsequent speed should only get faster!
A conservative estimate would be that within three days, they would be able to cultivate about ten million acres of land.
In the case of a general famine, even with only the yield of these tens of millions of acres of land, it would be more than sufficient to support a population of five million for one or two thousand years.
"Hmm? What's that..." After He Yiming ascended into the air, he made another astonishing discovery.
Previously, when the flood catastrophe struck, it impacted the deep wells that the players had dug. This caused the surrounding ground to collapse, forming a massive pit that resembled a basin.
With the ancient people's city as the center, the terrain within a radius of a hundred miles had sunken downward. The deepest point was the city of the ancient people, and the vertical height difference between the bottom of this basin and the normal ground a hundred miles away was over two kilometers.
Between the normal ground a hundred miles away and the city of the ancient people, there was a sloping terrain.
Now, players like mC Mythology had actually built gigantic wooden pillars on this sloping terrain. These pillars were each a hundred meters wide and more than a kilometer high—enormous!
But what was even more astonishing was that there were thousands of these gigantic wooden support pillars.
"How did the players build so many huge wooden support pillars... Damn!" He Yiming's gaze shifted, and he witnessed an incredible scene!
"Draw the card..."
"Fusion!!!"
"Appear!!!"
"Pseudo Immortal Mode! Wood God Transformation!!!"
...
Accompanied by a string of skilled shouts!
The Six Paths Pillars appeared before He Yiming once again.
Holding a wooden staff, a dashing robe fluttering in the wind, and six differently colored jade hooks hanging in front of him.
Hong!
"I am the Six Paths Pillars..." the old Pillars of the Thousand Hands began to speak slowly. He lowered his head first, then slowly raised it, opening his eyes gradually as a strong B-grade and domineering aura slowly emanated from him.
Unfortunately...
"Smack!" A brick landed directly on the head of the old Pillars of the Thousand Hands.
"Quit pretending, quickly activate Wood Release! Today, we need to build twenty thousand wooden support pillars on the east side. We're only halfway done once that's complete! You perform this show every time you transform. You've already done it over twenty times today. I'm about to puke. Please, I'm begging you, stop pretending! It's just you and me here. Who are you showing off to so many times?" mC Mythology shouted loudly, blood spewing from his mouth.
"Cough, cough, I'm sorry, I'm still practicing and trying to find the most handsome posture and movement!" The old Pillars of the Thousand Hands blushed,
then raised his wooden staff.
"Wood Release, Branch Heaven Pillars!!!" With a low roar from the old Pillars of the Thousand Hands, at the next moment, a hundred massive wooden support pillars manifested. They slowly condensed out of the deep well that had already been dug, and in a breath's time...
A hundred wooden support pillars over a kilometer tall each were completed!
"Good, this area is almost done. Let's move to the next location!" mC Mythology nodded in satisfaction.
"Wait, mC Mythology!" At this moment, He Yiming descended from the sky and stood in front of mC Mythology and the old Pillars of the Thousand Hands.
"Ah, Brother Yiming?"
"Brother Yiming!"
Both of them were taken aback, not expecting He Yiming to approach them.
"Why are you building all these wooden support pillars? What are you trying to do?" He Yiming asked directly.
He Yiming really couldn't figure out what the purpose of building so many wooden support pillars was.
"Oh, this plan is quite simple! We'll first build the pillars, then we'll use Wood Release to create a super-large roof, covering this area with a radius of a hundred miles. Then we'll seal the gaps!"
"By doing so, we'll have an underground shelter with a depth of a kilometer and a radius of over a hundred miles!"
"The roof will be created using Wood Release and will have the function of isolating the cold. The next catastrophe is the Cambrian Ice Catastrophe, and we'll definitely enter an ice and snow world then! We can hide in this underground shelter, with food and water, and easily withstand the Cambrian Ice Catastrophe!"
"Also, there are pipes inside these wooden support pillars. When the time comes, we can irrigate the fields with water through these pillars, achieving automatic irrigation!" mC Mythology said excitedly.
"???" He Yiming tilted his head.
You guys...
You guys are actually using the basin-like terrain created by the impact of the flood catastrophe to build a lid to cover this basin with a radius of over a hundred miles, creating an underground shelter?
This is...
In the face of the ancient global catastrophe, my disciples are actually, for the love of heaven, trying to survive underground... by upgrading their shelter?
