Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

020
After discovering that the planting space can bring things from the Hope Star into the alien manor, the team has been very happy, but at the same time they have not forgotten to observe Wu Zhenzhen's physical condition and the changes in the jade pendant. Everything was normal at first, but on a very ordinary day, Wu Zhenzhen had just logged off from the game, and suddenly, she felt uncomfortable in her head. The staff quickly pressed the emergency function of the medical cabin and called a doctor at the same time.

The pain lasted for about half a minute. After Wu Zhenzhen stopped feeling pain, she discovered a horrible fact: she could no longer contact the space!
He quickly took the jade pendant from his chest and saw that there was a crack on it.

Xia Ji soon learned the bad news. She asked the system if it knew what was going on. The system said it didn't know because the planting space and the system were not from the same system and the system could not scan and analyze it.

However, after analyzing the situation, the research team speculated that the space and the manor might be incompatible. The space forcibly landed on the manor, consuming its own energy to fight back. When it couldn't fight back, it broke down.

They let Wu Zhenzhen take a rest first and handed the jade pendant to an experienced craftsman to repair it to see if it could successfully connect to the space after the crack in the jade pendant was repaired.

Two days later, the crack in the jade pendant was repaired, and Wu Zhenzhen was finally able to contact the space again. However, the entire space had undergone tremendous changes. Not only had it shrunk to 20 square meters, but all the crops planted in the soil had died, and the soil had become dry and hard, with a lifeless look. She was unable to enter.

Moreover, Wu Zhenzhen could feel that the vitality of the space was slipping away and would soon dissipate.

"Even if we don't use it anymore, can't we just let it recover slowly?"

"No." Perhaps because she had been bound to the space for too long, this time when the space was about to disappear, Wu Zhenzhen could actually "hear" and understand what the space was conveying.

But that’s all. Wu Zhenzhen doesn’t know the origin of the space or the reason for its disappearance.

"I feel like I can take it to the manor one last time. Do you want to let it die or make another contribution?" Wu Zhenzhen felt it and said, "You have to decide quickly, otherwise it will be too late and you won't be able to go to the manor at all."

So, another emergency meeting was held. After the meeting, the last batch of supplies was transported from Hope Star to the manor. The moment it was taken out, the jade pendant instantly shattered into powder, and then faded and dissipated in the air like dust, leaving no trace.

Wu Zhenzhen fell into a coma and woke up a day later. Perhaps her soul was really bound to the space. After waking up, she was still very weak and could not enter the game manor in a short time. She needed to recuperate first.

Everyone was very sorry that the space had disappeared, but they still had to live their lives. Moreover, with the supplies that Wu Zhenzhen had previously transported to the manor, they were not completely penniless. Although the task took some time, it was generally easy to complete.

There are three tasks unlocked at the second level. The tasks of building houses and cattle farms are relatively easy because a professional construction team was formed when renovating the castle. They brought construction robots and other construction tools and materials and completed the tasks before the corn fields were harvested.

As for houses, they built a total of 2 thatched houses (the thatch was replaced by reed-like plants on the riverside of the woodland) and 4 stone houses (stones could be replaced by bricks). After the maximum number of houses for the population of 100 was reached, the system prompted that the task of building houses was completed, and at the same time sent Xia Ji a new task of inviting players.

This triggered task gave everyone a better understanding of the gameplay of the manor game. Fortunately, they did not directly use up the 100 newly opened places, otherwise, they might have lost this task.

Although you can be rewarded with 1 gold coin for each player you invite, this reward does not conflict with the task reward. Task rewards can also include experience points. Of course, it is more cost-effective to complete tasks.

As for the cattle farm, they could only build it according to the older style because all kinds of modern dairy cow-raising equipment had not been developed yet, so there was a problem with the planting space. The materials brought to the space last time did not include cattle-raising equipment. After all, there were only 20 square meters of space left, which had to be reserved for more important materials.

Fortunately, after the cattle farm was built, the system actually prompted that 30 blue crystals could be used to upgrade it. The appearance of the upgraded cattle farm remained the same, but there were additional automated milking tools in the cowshed. Xia Ji could collect the milk like playing a game. When the time came, he could just click on the screen to collect it. The automated tool would automatically milk the milk and then generate barrels for Xia Ji to collect.

The first upgrade will give you 10 milk buckets for free. If you want more, you have to buy them from the mall with gold coins, one gold coin for each bucket.

Xia Ji chose to be more diligent. After getting the milk, he immediately brought it back to Hope Star and poured it out, and then replenished the empty bucket into the cattle farm.

Of course, this method may not work when there are more cattle in the later stage, but it doesn’t matter. It’s a bit hard in the early stage. They are now working on building a glass factory. When the time comes, they will not need the system when they use their own containers. The system doesn’t say that it’s not possible to place milk buckets made by yourself.

In addition, the most important thing is the role of building a warehouse. Originally, Xia Ji was not particularly anxious about this task, because the early things basically had to be brought back to Hope Star, so it didn't matter whether there was a warehouse or not.

What's more, building a warehouse is not like building a house or a cattle farm, which can be done by your own construction team. To build a warehouse, you need to collect materials specified by the system, such as how many pieces of pine wood are needed, how many years of blue wood has to be grown, and piles of them, and the quantity is large. It also costs 100 gold coins and 10 blue crystals to generate them.

She now has 100 gold coins as the reward for the house-building mission, plus 50 for visiting the cattle farm, for a total of 150 gold coins; she originally had 32 blue crystals, 30 of which were used up by the cattle farm, leaving 2, plus 2 from the two missions, 2 from building the cattle farm, and 4 from building the stone house, for a total of 10.

If we build a warehouse and use it, we will be back to the time before liberation. The team is still thinking about saving gold coins and blue crystals to see where they can be used in more needed places. However, after the system prompts to build a game warehouse, the things stored in the warehouse can be taken out directly on Hope Star.

After collecting the milk, you can put it directly into the warehouse by operating on the game panel without having to go online to get it.

Xia Ji and the team were all excited.

Because her space backpack really did not expand with the increase in level, and it was still 100 cubic meters. Xia Ji was still a little melancholy. If the things put in the warehouse could be taken out directly at Hope Star, she would not have to carry them back and forth. By then, the extra cubic meters of backpack would probably be empty and unused.

"System, why didn't you tell me earlier?" If she had told me earlier, she would definitely be the first to complete the warehouse task. Oh, no, it would be difficult to complete the warehouse task without earning 100 gold coins first.

It seems that the game does not give out random missions.

However, despite being excited, it still takes some time to complete the warehouse mission, because the system requires a lot of things. Although the player uses drones and robots to collect and record information about the primary manor, the plants and animals in the two different worlds are somewhat different after all. Many of them have never appeared on the Blue Water Star. Using big data comparison, we can only roughly analyze where each plant and small animal (perhaps for the protection of the players, no large aggressive wild animals have been found in the woods for the time being) can be roughly classified, whether they are edible, and whether they are poisonous. Research and analysis is still going on there.

Fortunately, the system gave pictures of the materials needed. Xia Ji compared the pictures of the materials given by the system with the pictures collected by the players. After the country helped to make a detailed primary manor simulation map, he finally matched the names of the two and found out what was in each place, so that all the players could help.

In short, they have to complete the warehouse construction task immediately, so that they can catch up in time to pick the corn.

The shortage of manpower was already felt during Xia Ji's visit. The corn was about to be harvested, but because of the corn stalks and leaves, the one-button harvesting method could not be used, and there was no time to transport the machines, so it could only be harvested manually.

The team decided to release 50 more places.

But before that, they still need to continue to build a few stone houses, because Xia Ji discovered that although her game panel showed [Current Population: 99/200], it was not like before where she could directly summon players as long as there were vacant spots. She still needed to build houses first and reach the corresponding population limit before she could use the corresponding spots to summon players.

When the number of houses increases, how many houses will they need to build? I think they need to quickly set up a construction company that can provide a one-stop service from materials to construction, especially material supply, because what they lack now is materials.

Because the cattle farm and the house in front had just been built, and there was a shortage of manpower, materials were scarce and the house could not be built all at once. The materials had to be burned first, but the corn was already ripe.

The mature corn exudes fragrance. On the game panel, it is prompted that if it is not harvested within 3 days, it will wither. There is no choice but to rush to harvest the corn.
After much haste, we finally managed to harvest all the corn before it withered (if we couldn't finish it, we would have had to let Xia Ji use the one-click harvesting method).

At last glance, the yield of corn per mu was not as good as that of carrots, only 2000 kilograms. A total of 6 kilograms of corn were harvested from the mu of corn fields.

Before the warehouse was built, Xia Ji used the clumsy method and transported it back using space.

The corn stalks and leaves were also transported back and were still processed as raw materials for nutrient solution. There was no other way. In the past, when there was famine, our ancestors even ate leaves. Now the situation in the Huameng is even worse than famine, so nothing can be wasted.

In fact, not only corn leaves, but also tender branches and leaves of plants in the forest, just like those on Earth, can be picked and used to make nutrient solution without destroying the forest ecology.

These were food until the famine was resolved.

After harvesting the corn, the previously delayed task of building warehouses and houses was started again. This time, the task was finally completed before the wheat fields were harvested.

However, on the day the warehouse was built, before Xia Ji had time to summon the players, the system suddenly sounded a shrill warning.

"Warning, warning! The manor is under strong attack, the emergency protection mechanism is activated!"
