Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

It is impossible for Candice and Uncle Anpu to specifically increase the salary of Rhodes alone, nor can they suddenly increase the salary because of Rhodes' joining.

In this case.

No matter how open-minded those old people are, they will inevitably be unhappy.

Candice has to take care of their thoughts.

This was also the reason why she felt uneasy.

Rod needed money badly.

Candice knows this.

Moreover, Disiya also told her that what Rhodes is doing now, and the large sum of money he exchanged for the Eye of God, is all for the good of Aru Village.

After knowing these things, Candice inevitably felt a little complicated when facing Rhodes.

After all, the only thing Aru Village had done for Rhodes was to take him in.

Then Rhodes did so much for Aru Village, and even sold his own Eye of God.

What's even more valuable is.

He obviously did so many things, but he didn't reveal a word. He even spent the money to build the cage himself, without asking Aru Village to pay anything.

If Candice hadn't found Desia to ask about Rhodes selling the Eye of God, she wouldn't have known that Rhodes had done so much for the village in private.

Originally, she wanted to compensate Rhodes.

But the reality is that she came to ask Rhodes to help the village again, but she couldn't even give him a larger salary.

"I can only think of ways to compensate him later."

Candice sighed secretly and continued to wait for Rhodes' answer.

as a party.

Rhodes didn't know that Candice was already turning him into a selfless saint.

What he is thinking about now.

Nor is it the salary and compensation issues that worry Candice.

It’s not impossible to teach children.

After all, what he is doing now will definitely take a lot of time before the results come out.

If you are just farming and breeding during this period, it will still be a bit boring.

Something he was thinking about.

It's about whether you will mislead others.

But after thinking for a moment, he finally decided to take the job.

Anyway.

With Desert's level of education, he can now be considered a top student, and he can't even teach a group of children.

Chapter 40 A gift for Desiya

Although Candice was promised to be the teacher in Aru Village.

But Rhodes can't take office immediately.

He had to finish all the things at hand first.

According to the plan made by Tinari and his own experience in preventing and controlling soil erosion.

If you want to cultivate such a barren land normally, just relying on these grass slimes is not enough.

After all, they are all juvenile grass slimes. The land transformed by them, not to mention the fertile benefits, even the soil quality can barely reach the level of the rain forest area.

In this situation.

Grass squares and caragana are still necessary.

Besides.

He also ordered a batch of date palms from Dolly.

There are mature trees and saplings.

The mature trees are used to build windbreaks, and the saplings are used to fill the gaps between the experimental fields and strengthen the caragana fence.

The date palm is a tree endemic to the Sumeru Desert.

It is resistant to high temperatures, flooding, drought, salt and alkali, and frost. It likes sunlight and has extremely strong vitality.

And the root system of this tree is extremely developed.

It is a very rare desert plant that has both windproof and water-locking functions.

Another point.

That is the fruit of the date palm tree.

Date palm is a fruit with a thick skin and thick, sweet flesh. It is an important food source for desert people.

Like the jar of candy bars at Rod's house, which is made of date palms.

It goes without saying that sugar is important to the human body.

Exclude fruits that can be eaten or made into candy.

The branches of the date palm tree can be used to make chairs, beds and baskets for carrying items; the leaves can be used to weave mats, bundle brooms, make pallets, etc., and can also be used as fuel; the trunk can be used to make furniture, build farmhouses, bridges, houses, etc.; The core can be used as feed; inferior date palms can even be used as fertilizer or feed.

It can be said that he is full of treasures.

You can use it for your own use or sell it.

So in the desert.

If the wandering tribes cannot find an oasis to settle down, they will try their best to find a place where date palm trees grow together as their gathering place.

Date palm trees are also planted in Aru Village.

However, they did not use date palm trees as windbreaks. They planted them sparsely and scatteredly. They simply used them as cash crops to produce date palms.

"Such a good thing was wasted."

After digging a pit, Rhodes muttered and rolled his eyes at Adebayi's house.

After these few days of peeping.

He was very sure.

Adebayi is a very high-level scholar of the sect of life theory.

And the knowledge he possesses is like a treasure to the desert.

You must know that Tinari is a scholar who cannot come to the desert.

Just relying on the experimental data he obtained from experiments simulating the desert environment in the Teaching Academy, Rhodes was able to arrange a new type of experimental field in an orderly manner.

It can be imagined from this.

If Adebayi is willing to share the knowledge in his hands with Aru Village.

Aru Village, and indeed the entire desert, will benefit greatly.

"What an arrogant scholar, you deserve to be exiled."

The more Rhode thought about it, the angrier he became and couldn't help but spit.

Talk about it.

His method of irritating people is still very useful. In the past two days, Adebayi has already taken a detour when seeing him.

He also succeeded in attracting the scholar's attention in this way.

More than once.

Rhodes discovered that this guy was secretly peeling off the wall to take a look at his home.

Rhodes knew exactly what he was aiming at.

It must be something like those cages that Candice sent.

No matter how arrogant Adebayi is, no matter how annoying he is.

He is also a genuine scholar of the Sheng Lun School, and a very good scholar.

The main focus of the vitalism school is botany and zoology and medicine.

Therefore, Adebay could definitely tell at a glance what these things Rhodes got were used for.

If it was a time when the two had never met before.

Even if he discovers that Rhodes is working on something related to the research direction of the Bioscientists, Adebayi will not be even remotely interested in Rhodes, who is a desert citizen.

Even if Rhodes really achieves something.

With his character.

At most, it's just a fluke. It's impossible to say even a word to Rhodes.

But now he was so angry with Rhodes that his forehead almost started to smoke.

He will definitely care more about Rhodes' results than Candice, and then look for opportunities to counterattack and humiliate Rhodes.

and this.

This is the effect Rhodes wants.

"—"

Rod, who was carrying a hoe, was humming a tune. When he passed by Adebayi's door, he deliberately raised his chin at him and whistled twice in a funny way.

Such provocative behavior.

Adebayi, who was sitting at the door reading a book, couldn't help but have veins popping up on his forehead.

"Humph--"

Adebayi decided not to be acquainted with this vulgar desert man, so he closed the page of the book and closed the door heavily with anger.

Successfully made Adebayi angry again.

Rhodes was in a better mood.

This new house is much larger than the one he lived in before.

He had plenty of space to display the things he had brought back from the rainforest area.

Unfortunately.

Rhodes doesn't know how to mix poison.

All he can do is to extract the deadly substances from these poisons through various methods according to the records in the "Rainforest Biology Illustrated Book", and then use fire, boiling, drying and other methods to turn them into what they are today. Such bottles of venom or powder.

Of course.

What he collected wasn't just poisonous stuff, but also some interesting gadgets.

Like insect repellent in rainforest areas.

He used this stuff to make an insect repellent liquid, which was similar to the best-selling insect repellent essential oil in the rainforest area. However, the purification method was not skilled, which resulted in the insect repellent liquid he made containing many impurities, and the taste was not as good as the ones sold by merchants. , but the effect is almost the same and can still be used.

As for things like soaps and perfumes that time-travelers in novels often make.

Rhodes doesn't know how to do it and doesn't want to study it.

Moreover, there are better substitutes for these things in Teyvat itself, so there is no need to waste time on these useless things.

It took a while.

Rhodes put the newly prepared snake repellent powder into a transparent bottle, then sealed it and put it together with several other bottles. Each bottle had a label indicating its purpose and how to use it.

These were prepared by him for the Blazing Hunting Beast, or in other words, for Desiya.

There are things to repel insects, beasts, snakes, and venom that can be used to smear weapons.

There are a dozen bottles in total scattered here and there.

These things are of great use to mercenaries who can crawl around in the desert all day long.
