Dragon God, immortal

"Uh, because you are used to using fertile soil, you are too lazy to save the nutrients for the endosperm? That won't do! The endosperm is what I eat!" Shushan curled his lips and continued to squeeze the No. 2 corn.

The operation of making No. 2 corn reserve nutrients for the endosperm is much simpler than imagined, because this is the instinct of the plant.

So, Shushan got corn number three.

Sweet and high-yield corn!

So, Shushan reclaimed several acres of land for trial planting. Considering that he was bigger than a cow and even possessed magic, reclaiming land was a piece of cake for him.

After the trial planting, Shushan harvested the first batch of corn... Well, how should I put it... The harvest was not ideal, and the reason was the corn plants...

As a grass, corn plants range in height from one to three meters.

However, the number of inflorescences is too large, and after fruiting, too much corn hangs on the plant at the same time.

This results in the No. 3 corn being unable to produce its maximum yield, and it often ends up falling over, rotting on the ground... There was even one acre of land with a total total harvest failure.

"The teosinte I chose is a short species in the grassland. The highest height of wild ones is not even more than one meter, so the toughness of the stems is very poor... Well, it is precisely because the stems have less fiber that it is loved by sheep and can occupy a large area in the northern grasslands..."

Shushan scratched his head in distress.

No matter how to order corn number three.

This thing will eventually fall over, and the reason is that the stem structure itself is very delicate...

There is no other way but to try hybridization. Find wild corn with stronger stems and hybridize it with the delicate No. 3 corn. This way, we should be able to obtain high-yield and lodging-resistant No. 4 corn... But there is only this kind of wild corn on this island.

Before this problem is solved, Shushan can only harvest the No. 3 corn as silage before it is fully mature. Well, even this kind of silage tastes much better than tree bark!

At this point, the Dragon God’s quality of life has improved!

The hard work paid off!

Congratulations! Congratulations!

After leaving the experimental field, Shushan returned to the nest and built a cellar to store food.

"Is this the product obtained by encapsulating and fermenting the chopped whole plant of No. 3 corn..." Shushan looked at the product in the cellar, and the fragrant smell made Long's appetite increase!

It has a sour and fragrant smell, a juicy taste, and is extremely easy to chew. It can be said to be a very good staple food for earthworms!

At present, Shushan makes one meal a week, and one acre of No. 3 corn silage for each meal...

On this island, with the help of humus black soil, No. 3 corn can grow twice a year...

In other words, if Shushan wants to eat this for every meal, he must reclaim more than 30 acres of land and dig bigger and more cellars for storage!

"…Considering that I'm still in the growth stage, I'd better double the land to 60 acres. It's always good to have more food." Shushan thought with a smile.

"Meow?" Wuyun suddenly jumped out and sniffed at the cellar door, as if wanting to go in and take a look.

"Don't go in. I don't want to eat your cat hair!" Shushan pinched Wuyun's neck and closed the cellar door.

"Meow..." Wuyun cried out in grievance, and jumped over to the cat climbing frame to scratch hard to vent his anger... Recently, Shushan has been working in the experimental field and has not played with it much. The little black panther has a bad temper...

"Okay, okay, stop being stubborn." Shushan used his claws to stroke the black panther's fur. He was now thirty meters long, ten times the length of Wuyun who was only three meters long. Now Wuyun was just a little kitten in his hands!

Kittens should drink milk.

Shushan took some effort to steal some goat's milk.

Well, Wuyun likes to drink fresh goat milk, so Shushan is also happy to harass the sheep in the grasslands to the north.

I soaked and cooked the jerky as usual, but now I need to soften it a little more. I always feel that Wuyun has no strength to chew food recently. I don’t know if it’s because of tooth decay...

. . . . . .

Sixty acres of land!

Reclamation, planting, done!

Shushan sighed that magic was really useful. He could easily make farm tools by using the magic of crushing and aggregating the earth. Then he could easily complete the work by using the magic of attraction and repulsion. And with the magic of humus black soil, he would not have to worry about the fertility of the soil at all.

"The biggest problem now is fresh water. Although I have a freshwater lake, it is still far from enough to irrigate 60 acres of land. If I rely solely on rainwater..." Shushan looked up at the sky.

Well, by then some will die of floods and some will die of drought, so we have to find a way to solve the problem of fresh water... As soon as this thought came to mind, Shushan thought of a solution.

Dig a well to draw water.

Watered with canals.

There is groundwater in the center of the island, and the groundwater filtered through the land is almost fresh water. When watering, just use the principle of a water pump to pump the water up.

“No matter how you look at it, I’m so awesome… A dragon alone can accomplish such a huge project…” Shushan got on all fours, walking along the edge of the field, using magic to repel insects… That’s right, due to the intensive planting of a single crop, pests and diseases are also reasons for the reduction in production that cannot be underestimated.

"Meow~Meow~" Wuyun followed Shushan closely. The kitten ran back and forth in the cornfield as tall as it. It was obvious that it was enjoying itself.

"Hey, you better be careful, don't destroy my food." Shushan reminded helplessly, and Wuyun ran towards him with a low cry.

"Meow!" Wuyun ran to Shushan's tail and jumped onto his back in a few seconds.

"Are you tired of playing already?" Shushan knew what Wuyun was doing without looking back.

The potion flowers on his back withered.

This thing seems to bloom only once in a while.

Shushan guessed that the interval was about ten years...but with his current growth rate, the interval would probably be much shorter.

The dark cloud stood firmly on the back of the tree mountain, looking at its "territory"... Tsk, this is actually my territory, okay! You little cat really has no self-awareness!

As Shushan grew in size, the grass on his back became relatively dense and short. From a distance, he looked like a giant monster with green hair... If he stood still, he would just look like a raised hillside.

After a round of inspection, Shushan stopped at the starting point and lay down, looking at the dozens of acres of land.

As he stopped, Dark Cloud curled up on his back and dozed off with a snoring sound.

However, like most cats, Wuyun is a very light sleeper... After hearing the sound of a bird flapping its wings, the black panther jumped up and pounced on a seabird that came to steal food!

"Ah, la la, this is so rare, there is actually a seabird that is not afraid of the dragon's power..." Shushan raised his eyelids with a little surprise, watching the dark clouds tormenting the seabird... As a dragon, Shushan possesses the dragon's power, and as long as he intends to release this pressure, all creatures around him will stay away from him.

Well, this is the principle of insect repellent magic. It’s not even magic. It just spins around and that’s it.

Of course, occasionally a small animal would find its way into the pressure of Tree Mountain.

The dark cloud walked to the front of Shushan with a bird in its mouth.

After gently putting it down, the cat squatted and looked around.

He looked like a lookout.

"Haha, I told you not to find food for me!" Shushan stretched out his claws and scratched Wuyun's chin a few times. The kitten snored comfortably. "Do you think I look like a dragon who is short of food?"

"Meow... Woo~ Huluhu~" Wuyun launched a headbutt attack on Shushan, with great effect. He successfully smeared his own scent on the dragon's body - or vice versa, smeared the dragon's scent on his own body.

"If you like cornfields so much, I might as well build a new cat bed here... Let me think, you will be the guardian of this cornfield from now on!" Shushan stretched out his claws and gently stroked the hair on Wuyun's belly with the curve on the back of his nails.

The Catcher of the Cornfield...

It sounds very romantic.

After sitting by the field for a while, Shushan noticed that the weather had turned slightly cooler. Looking out to the sea, he saw a small rain cloud brewing.

It's time to go home... Shushan thought so, put Wuyun on his shoulder and walked towards the nest... He and Cornfield were not afraid of rain, but if Wuyun's fur got wet, he might get sick.

Back to the main entrance of the nest, although there is nothing called a door, there are tall trees around it to serve as a cover. The open space and cat climbing frame in the middle are Shushan’s nest.

Come to think of it, you have lived here for quite a while now. Will you continue to live here in the future?

My size is still growing...

Do we need to expand this open space?

Thinking so, Shushan let go of Wuyun and let it run on its own, while he went to prepare cat food for the kitten.

Dinner was simple. Wuyun ate dried meat and goat milk, and some corns that he brought back for grinding his teeth for some reason. I didn't expect that Wuyun also liked to eat corn.

Shushan took out a bundle of whole corns that had undergone simple fermentation from the cellar. After eating this batch, he would have to harvest the cornfield, right?

"Days like this feel so fulfilling..." Shushan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Chapter 5 Good Night

Next to the cornfield.

Shushan just finished being busy.

He drew clear fresh water from the water pump well, poured it into a stone pot and heated it. After the water boiled, he threw in two cobs of corn. Soon he could smell the sweet fragrance of the corn.

"Huh... huh... ready! It's time for dinner, Wuyun!" Shushan put the minced meat that had been prepared long ago into the cat bowl and placed the cooked corn aside.

There was a rustling sound in the cornfield not far away, and a big black cat jumped out from it. It shook its head violently to shake off the grass debris on its body, and then hopped over to Shushan: "Meow?"

Shushan turned around and found that Wuyun did not eat the minced meat immediately, but chose to eat the corn. He sighed helplessly: "Really, how can there be a kitten who likes to eat corn..."

Wuyun's staple food is meat.

Besides that, it likes corn.

Well, of course, corn is just a snack to Wuyun, and he would just take a few bites before and after meals.

After all, it is a carnivorous animal, and eating too much plant fiber may cause stomach upset... Shushan doesn't have such concerns, he can eat anything.

Wuyun made a lot of noises while eating. I don’t know since when, the cat food Shushan made for him became softer and softer. Now he even eats minced meat! Damn, he is really a cat who eats soft food!

"Okay, it's time to harvest this batch of corn." Seeing that Wuyun was full and satisfied, Shushan set off for the cornfield.

He used the [Magic of Gathering Mud and Sand] to make a stone knife, and then used the [Magic of Repelling All Things] to wield the stone knife to harvest.

It took about half a day.

He harvested about forty acres of corn.

There are still more than twenty acres that have not been harvested.

Well, the reason is very simple, he eats the whole corn plant, so there is no need to wait for the corn seeds to fully mature, so those that are harvested are not fully ripe.

Of the remaining twenty acres, part will be kept for seeds, and part will be stored for emergencies... Well, there is actually no such thing as an emergency... Even if the harvest is not good, he can still chew on the bark, right...

As he finished the harvest, various birds landed not far away. After being caught by the dark clouds for several rounds, these clever pest birds no longer dared to peck at the cornfield.

However, fields that have already been harvested are fine.

Their target is scattered corn.

Not far away, dark clouds were crouching.

The black panther's agile body was hidden on the black soil. It stared at the flying birds, and then... pounced on them!

"Ha, you didn't catch any." Shushan saw that the flying birds scattered and Wuyun returned empty-handed, so he used the arc on the back of his claws to gently tidy up Wuyun's messy hair.

Wuyun purred and became more and more aggressive. After licking his paws, he climbed up along Shushan's paws, climbed onto his back, and dozed off.

Shushan rolled his eyes.

This guy is using him as a means of transportation again.

But Shushan didn't care and stored the harvested crops behind the dark clouds.

Afterwards, after a brief inspection of the unharvested fields, Shushan left the cornfield and headed for the saplings he had planted earlier…

All the saplings from the beginning have grown, and compared to the ones that were eaten by the tree mountain, these are no less tall and thick...

After all, these were plants planted by the Dragon God himself! He often gave them orders to urge them to grow, and fertilized them from time to time. If they didn't grow up quickly, it would be a shame to the tree mountain for its cultivation!

After patrolling the forest, Shushan returned to the nest. Only then did Wuyun jump off his back and comfortably jump into the cat's nest.

Seeing this, Shushan shook his head in amusement.

It's comfortable to ride on his back, right?

Although Shushan's current body shape and weight are still very strong, thanks to the help of magic, he doesn't make much noise when walking on the road.

This was because he used the [Magic of Attracting All Things] to disperse his weight under the land within a radius of one kilometer.

Moreover, this range is three-dimensional, which is equivalent to a thousand square kilometers of land supporting him!

He can even float if he needs to!

"Sure enough, I can fly even without wings. Please call me such a terrifying Dou Zong strongman." Shushan thought so and stopped casting magic to rest in the nest... Only in the nest did he dare to release magic...

. . . . . .

After a busy day, Shushan came to the beach after a long absence.

The panther followed him and dug a hole in the beach.
