Chapter 305 Peace is the most precious thing

Due to problems left over from history, Yunzhong Temple is still a broken world. In the dry and rainless desert environment, only special ethnic groups like the Uji people can adapt widely and run around.

 Most life requires water and food.

Lu Yao already has some experience in adding new rules. It is not difficult to create several artificial lakes outside. However, these careful lakes cannot form flowing rivers and become self-evolving water sources.

This involves a higher level of complex geographical construction, which requires both the support of the weather and the feedback of the underground environment. Lu Yao cannot do it yet.

 He can only start from simpler ground.

How can we make the water flow, expand the scope of the oasis, and further expand the external radiation of Sand City?

 This is the current pain point of Shacheng.

 It is not possible to rely on the residents of Shacheng themselves.

Although the elves and squirrels are very energetic, in the face of the water shortage environment here, their personal efforts are still too small. They can maintain the green plants in the city, but there has been no progress in external transformation.

The solution Lu Yao came up with was cactus.

  Cactus is a desert plant that can store a certain amount of water itself and is better able to adapt to the harsh local climate than pine trees and symbiotic forests.

Just relying on ordinary cacti is not enough. This plant must have some magical power so that they can take root in the Gobi Desert and become the vanguard of the Yao people and Shacheng in transforming the desert.

Lu Yao clicked on the item bar and considered each item one by one from top to bottom.

 His eyes stayed on the [disaster branches].

This fire prop is a sacrifice presented by the elves. There is a certain chance that it can breed a water elemental disaster beast, but the prerequisite is that it must survive in the water.

 It’s a pity that now we need to store water instead of using water.

Lu Yao continued to scroll down, and soon he locked on the fire props matching the cacti.

　　【Silver buckle lacquer box】.

This is a sacrifice offered to the temple by Yao City. Its ability is to slowly restore the health or durability of the items in the box, which is equivalent to a small repair tool.

 Its abilities are more relevant to today's needs than Bane of Bane.

 After Lu Yao selected it, he merged it with the cactus.

　　The fire props and creatures in the box were pulled back to form a straight line, and a new box was extended, with a green figure emerging inside.

　　The cactus integrated into the fire prop changed its appearance, its body became closer to a human shape, and there was a small cluster of red flowers on its head that looked like a small hat.

 In the pixel style, it has a pair of holes and a small mouth.

  The cactus is carrying a wooden box on its back and has short legs. It looks like a student who is going to school.

  The new cactus can be given many abilities, but you can only choose one of the positive and negative abilities.

 Positive abilities include: [Wisdom], [Poisoning], [Camouflage], [Off-Road], and [Self-Repair].

  Negative characteristics include: [timidity], [timidness], [vulnerability], and [suspiciousness].

 Lu Yao chose [Wisdom].

Off-roading is good, but Shacheng has ground boats, and soon there will be steam carriages. The long-distance running ability is of little use compared to these two vehicles.

 Self-repair should be an ability derived from [Silver Buckle Lacquer Box], but its long-term value is not high.

 Of course I choose wisdom, which has great potential.

 Lu Yao didn’t want any of the negative traits, so he just removed them.

 After he decided on the official name, a new species appeared that had never been seen before.

 …

 【Back Box Cactus LV1】

 Health: 41/41

 Mana: 1/1

  Damage: 2

 Defense: 2

 Speed: 6

【wisdom】

  【Drought tolerance】

 Able to adapt to arid environments, store water in the body, and can survive for 30 days without drinking water.

 …

　　Simulator displays subtitles.

  【Please select the world where you want to release this species. 】

Lu Yao clicked on Yunzhong Temple.

So, there was this extraordinary life outside Shacheng.

Although box-backed cacti can move on their own, most of the time they stay rooted in the sand like regular cacti.

 The difference from traditional cacti is that if they feel a lack of water, they will run to the artificial lake and take big gulps of water.

 Only when they start to move, the spikes on their bodies wrap around to form a box shape.

 Most box cactus are relatively quiet by nature and very passive in external communication. No one is looking for them, and they can remain motionless for a month, continuing the traditional life of the cactus.

 Slemold set an example.

 He guided and encouraged the citizens of Shacheng to deal with the box cactus.

 First of all, bring some small gifts, anything is fine, to express your desire to get acquainted with the cactus.

The box cactus is wise. Even if it cannot understand the Yao language, it can understand good intentions.

If the cactus doesn't hate a person, it will wave to the person to express its gratitude.

 Then you need to prepare [Blast Furnace Mead] in an [intimate] way so that both parties can understand each other. After becoming friends with a cactus, it will be happy to help every friend.

 Slowly, the residents of Sand City adapted to the existence of the box-backed cactus.

They are derived from cacti, but they do not leave the cactus group and like to live and inhabit in dry deserts.

　　After some time, Slimod announced a decision outside the temple: "Citizens, Sand City has reached a formal cooperation with more than thirty back-box cacti, and they will become the new residents of Sand City."

“Next, they will join us and start planting cacti around us to create a new oasis.”

“Now I announce that the northern oasis transformation plan has officially started!”

The north transformation plan aims to start from the north outside Shacheng and expand an oasis first, as a living area outside the city and as a pilot for future large-scale desert transformation.

Lu Yao saw that in the entire northern reconstruction project, the box-backed cactus indeed played a key role.

They have good endurance. The fruits or stems of the cactus can be slightly processed and buried in the sand, and then watered slightly, so that the cactus can grow out.

 Other workers, such as squirrels and elves, let alone planting efficiency, will have to rest for a long time due to lack of water and fatigue after being busy for a while.

 Under the harsh sunlight, the box-backed cacti are more energetic.

 They like sunlight.

At night, the cactus becomes depressed, as if its body is tied with a heavy iron block, and its steps become very slow.

 Squirrels and elves become active at this time, and the coolness allows them to work longer.

In order to increase the motivation of the back-box cactus, Slimod thought of a way.

 It ordered several hanging lamps from the lampmaker Dengcheng, and equipped them with a gas stove to artificially create light and heat. The light of the hanging lamp is naturally incomparable with that of sunlight, but it can make the cacti feel the light to some extent. Coupled with the heating of the stove, it has a very refreshing effect on the box cactus.

 During the Northern Reform, the box-backed cactus also developed new uses for cacti.

“…If you are particularly thirsty in the desert and are about to die from dryness, you can use cactus to replenish water.”

The box-backed cactus gets some water by digging its spines into the cactus, and other water-hungry residents are following suit.

This turns the cactus into a mobile water storage point, like pillars of life rooted in the barren desert, allowing the Yao people to build roads and surrounding supporting facilities based on them.

As these prickly green plants continue to spread outside the city, the range that the residents of Shacheng can set foot on becomes further and further away.

In addition to being hired by Shacheng to transform the desert, the cactus has also received unanimous praise from the people of Wuji.

Most people in Wuji drive alone in boats and go deep into the desert to conduct underground exploration and mapping. However, it is inevitable that one will lose track of things when traveling alone, and many places are inconvenient.

 The residents of Kesha City cannot live outside Sha City. Even if they are extraordinary beings, most of them will become unconscious if they are short of water for seven days and fall into an extremely dangerous situation. Food supply is also a big problem.

 The box cactus has become the best assistant of the Uji people.

They are quiet and reliable, can tolerate loneliness, are sensitive to sunlight and temperature, and can survive without drinking water for thirty days, as long as the sun is available.

The Wuji people can take cacti into the very depths of the desert. When doing underground surveys, they put the cactus and some survival materials on the sand dunes on the ground - they can not only survive, but also serve as a natural coordinate.

Seeing that the cactus on the back were glowing and heating up, Lu Yao couldn't help but look at the glass of coconut juice and the bowl of evenly chopped coconut fruit.

The cactus family are indeed good helpers.

At this time, Slimod's clone reported: "Lord God, the first batch of applicants from the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom have arrived, and I am inspecting them."

Lu Yao switched to the Kingdom of God bonding body.

At the foot of Pillar Mountain, Slimod got off the steam carriage and looked at the first applicant.

 Lu Yao took a look.

 This is an unfamiliar person.

 The first warrior below the apostle of Zhulu Kingdom, Zhuhu.

"I'm pretty good at fighting. I want to go to Shacheng to study. I'm good at... fighting."

Zhuhu was inexplicably nervous today and stammered when speaking.

"Sorry, Sand City does not need pure combatants at the moment. We are a city that values ​​peace. The martial arts conference is just a competitive event and is not intended to cause disputes and violence."

Slimold asked him: "Is there anything else you are good at?"

 Zhuhu thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I can also... plant bamboo, cut bamboo, cut bamboo and build a bamboo house."

“Congratulations! You are the talent we want. Welcome to Shacheng.”

Slimold shook hands with him.

"Really?"

Zhuhu was still a little unresponsive, a question mark appeared on his head, and then turned into a smiling face.

In this way, the first warrior of the Zhulu Kingdom entered Shacheng to work in the name of a bamboo builder.

Thanks: Dark Moon Dawn supports 600 starting coins, SixDod supports 100 starting coins, Look Angel supports 100 starting coins, Oreo without ice supports 100 starting coins.
