Hyperdimensional Harem Exploration Project

Mudstone didn't expect Xu Ya to be so enthusiastic. He still found it a little hard to believe that such a simple commission could earn him land as compensation.

However, the other Sarkaz had already been tempted, as this place was too much in line with their imagination of an ideal place. As Xu Ya said, apart from the hornworms, which were only minor troubles of the level of Originium worms in their eyes, this was a land without the threat of natural disasters and full of vitality, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and the air was filled with sweet smells.

After only staying in the small garden world for a short time, they were unwilling to return to the land full of pain and discrimination.

"Mud Rock, let's stay!"

"Captain, haven't you always wanted to create your own garden?"

The mercenaries kept trying to persuade him.

"Okay, then we both choose to take the land."

Mudstone looked at every pair of eyes full of hope and could not refuse the will of his compatriots, so he agreed.

"Haha, then welcome to the box world again." Xu Ya did not say anything, but quietly waited for the Sarkaz to make a decision. He knew that if it were other Terran races, they might choose to leave, but the Sarkaz, who had suffered for a long time, would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of the box world. "Oh, by the way, you can also ask your compatriots outside to come over. From now on, we are a big family! If possible, you can also sign this agreement."

[Immigration Agreement] In addition to being able to travel to the target world and attract immigrants, the most important function is to provide a digital panel so that immigrants can also use the same game system functions as Xu Ya.

Of course, it is up to Xu Ya to decide which functions to unlock. In addition to granting abilities, he can also take back the systems on the immigrants or restrict their functions, which can be regarded as the privilege of the Lord of the World.

At present, he has temporarily opened the collection and construction functions to make it easier for the Sarkaz to become tools and help speed up the construction of strongholds.

The Sarkaz were very surprised when they saw the personal panel for the first time, and even more surprised were yet to come. Under Xu Ya's guidance, they tried to use axes to chop trees and make them explode into wood blocks, and knock rocks and make them explode into stones. All these unscientific things made the calm mercenaries scream like children seeing new toys.

Many people came back to ask Xu Ya a hundred thousand questions.

Xu Ya also revealed some of his secrets and explained to them what the box garden world was and the game system settings.

However, the Sarkaz, who were probably only in junior high school, could not understand these things at all. After all, you couldn't expect to teach primitive people about the profound knowledge of the universe and space.

He gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explain and told them in a simple and understandable way to just regard this as a special Originium skill and that he was some kind of special warlock.

"Oh oh I see!"

The Sarkaz who suddenly became stupid didn't know whether they understood it or not. They patted their heads and stopped caring about it and continued to work seriously. They had to admit that many things became more convenient after the game was digitized.

Afterwards, everyone planned to build their new home on the river beach previously occupied by the hornworms. The reunited Mudstone Team had a total of thirty-seven people, and with strength in numbers, a simple new base was soon established.

[Task 3 has been completed, the task chain has ended, you are now fully familiar with all the novice operations, so please survive well in this world! ]

The author says:

Author's words: PS: I don't know if you have played "Alien Dawn", some of the settings of the box garden world are taken from this game. It's a very interesting game, and it can be regarded as a kind of recommendation.

Chapter 5: Exploring the Main World

Gone? The tutorial is gone?! What kind of idiotic tutorial is this, at the level of Paradox.

Oh, this thing was designed by me. Actually, it’s not completely finished yet. I planned to finish it at the end because I thought it was troublesome. Then no one expected that it would travel through time.

Is it possible for me to figure things out on my own from now on?

Xu Ya slapped his forehead, and suddenly remembered that he had only completed "Alien Survival" halfway through the journey, so what else did he forget to add? Oh, by the way, there are still many later technology trees that have not been thought out at all, so they have not been added. This part was originally planned to be split out and used as DLC to be released bit by bit to make money...

Now, I only needed to work hard to improve my technology to reach a god-like state, but now it’s all gone. Why should I be lazy again? !

"Mr. Xu Ya? What are you doing here? Are you troubled by something?"

Just as Xu Ya was holding his head and regretting that he had lost the opportunity to ascend because of his laziness in cutting content, a gentle voice came from the side.

A beautiful Sarkaz girl sat beside him, with white hair and red eyes, and the twisted horns around her head like a wreath highlighting her evil temperament. However, her gentle expression, pointed ears and seemingly delicate body added a bit of elegance and tranquility.

However, the exposed black crystals on the shoulders and abdomen somewhat ruined the beauty.

"It's Mud Rock. Don't be so restrained. You can just call me by my name, or my nickname 'Doctor'." Looking at the deep wine-red eyes, Xu Ya's irritable mood magically calmed down. But his tone couldn't help but become a little frivolous, as if he had met his wife and teased her with a rather evil taste.

But the next second he remembered that he was not a survivor of the previous civilization, the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, and the real doctor. It was a bit rude to tease a strange girl who he had never met. So he restrained his emotions and pretended to cough a few times to ease the embarrassment. "My troubles? Not worth mentioning. I just feel a little regretful that I lost a lot of precious things because of my lack of effort. But you, Miss Mudstone, why don't you celebrate your new life with your compatriots? I have specially reserved a place for you, don't mind me."

He was not very familiar with the Sarkaz people, so it did not hinder their interest. He took the initiative to leave the lively base and built his own small house a little away from the Sarkaz people to live alone.

"But I can feel the close connection between you and this land. You are the master here. If this is the case, wouldn't it seem like we are bullying the host?"

The Sarkaz were celebrating their move into a new home, singing and dancing excitedly around the bonfire next to the newly built dormitory. Only in this way could they forget the terrible past and the pain caused by the Originium disease.

It’s a pity that there is not enough food at the moment, so they can’t make wine, otherwise they would all be drunk.

Niyan looked at the heartfelt smiles of his compatriots, and then looked at Xu Ya who was alone in deep thought hidden in the night, so he chose to come over and invite him to join in the celebration.

After all, thanks to Xu Ya, they had a place to live and escaped from the suffocating environment.

Although this man and this world are full of mysteries, she doesn't mind this little secret. In fact, men with secrets are more attractive.

"No, after all, we are not familiar with each other yet. That's just my personality. But... tomorrow, we can work together and get to know each other. I will join you."

Xu Ya was somewhat socially anxious and wanted to decline. But when he saw Ni Yan's expectant red eyes, he couldn't help but leave room for negotiation and said:

Even a hero can be tempted by beautiful women, let alone an operator with your real name.

"Well then, may you have a peaceful and wonderful night."

Mudstone didn't say anything else, but bowed slightly and left politely.

Silent all night.

The next day, the Sarkaz woke up early in the morning and came to Xu Ya's hut excitedly, waiting for his orders.

Yes, he gave the Sarkaz new power (system panel), but this thing is still a bit complicated for the Sarkaz who don't understand the concept of video games, and they need someone who knows the subject to teach them step by step.

So under the leadership of Xu Ya, the mercenaries who obtained the new land burst out with endless motivation.

They learned greedily, and soon mastered the operation of the collection and construction systems. Then they began to collect land resources with extremely fast efficiency, and also converted a small piece of undeveloped plain into farmland in one go.

The whole process took only half an hour. The capitalists were immediately delighted by the efficiency.

The strong physique of the Sarkaz once again refreshed Xu Ya's three views. Their strength was greater than that of a bull, and their energy was comparable to that of a top athlete. And this was just a small fry who could not even be considered a five-star operator.

Perfect soldiers! This thought came to Xu Ya's mind.

Later, thanks to the hard work of Sarkaz, the exploration progress of the new land was quickly filled up, and then Xu Ya could continue to expand the area of ​​the box world.

He chose to continue unlocking new stream plots and splicing them onto the edges of existing stream plots.

The fog dissipates and new lands emerge.

The Sarkaz have long known about the existence of the fog surrounding this land and have tried to break into it, but they are simply unable to break this seemingly ethereal but actually indestructible fog.

After all, it is an invincible air wall.

However, now they were speechless after seeing the magnificent scene of Xu Ya parting the Red Sea like Moses. But for the straightforward mercenaries, they should not try to understand things that they cannot understand. The present is the most important thing.

I soon got used to it and paid more attention to seeing what the new land was like.

This time Xu Ya was very lucky. There were no annoying bugs on the refreshed land. Instead, there were a lot of new alien resources. He unlocked them through the observation function and obtained two relatively important resources.

Giant grass is a plant with strong adaptability and easy to harvest. Its main function is to be used as feed for livestock.

Cereal grass, this primitive plant that has not yet been domesticated is somewhat similar to wheat, but it does not grow as densely and tall as the latter. The seeds are safe to eat and can also be processed - cooking, making oil, and even producing antibiotics after proper fermentation, with many benefits.

Xu Ya, who knew the intelligence he had set, naturally collected all these good things. He made some of them into dinner, and kept the other part as crops to be sown on the newly reclaimed land. With the help of Mudstone, the son of earth and stone, it was not difficult to improve the soil quality.

At the moment, everything is moving in the right direction.

Afterwards, Xu Ya continued to work hard to piece together the land. Perhaps it was because the spirit of farming was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Celestial Empire, so the game naturally had to be based on agriculture. So after ensuring sufficient water sources, he pieced together more new plains to expand the scope of arable land.

Subsequently, three new plots of land were added, all of which were flat terrain. The Sarkaz, who were more powerful than oxen, leveled all the land and turned it into arable land in just half a day.

In the process, they also captured some animals that appeared in new areas.

[Bloated Crawler] This bloated, fat herbivorous insect moves slowly and does not fight with the world. I call it a glutton. They are not particularly dangerous, but they secrete a corrosive substance that accumulates on the skin. If they feel scared, they will shake their bodies and release poisonous mist. Keeping a safe distance from it seems to be the best option.

Of course, the danger here refers to ordinary people like Xu Ya. For the Sarkaz, it is more like some kind of interesting toy.

After hearing that this thing was edible and had delicious meat, they quickly captured all the bloated reptiles in the wild and brought them back to their base, where they built a semi-enclosed livestock shed to raise them. It just so happened that there was still a lot of giant grass left after being used to make mats and fuel, which came in handy.

Over the next ten days, Xu Ya and this group of Sarkaz lived an idyllic life, farming and raising insects every day. In the evening, they would sit together and talk about everything under the sun, telling each other about their experiences, which was also a way of recalling the good and the bad times.

If life was really boring, Xu Ya would add new plots of land to develop.

Nowadays, there is not enough wood and stone, so the land selection tends to be forests and mountains. The former is the main source of wood, while the latter is the production site of stone and minerals, and is an important resource point for advanced industrial chains and technology trees.

However, mountain plots have not yet appeared in the selection interface, but there are more forest terrains, so he just puts whatever plots are available.

Now the area of ​​the box garden world has grown from a small piece to eight pieces, covering an area of ​​almost 80 acres, which is large enough for them to operate for a while.

Therefore, Xu Ya was not in a hurry to expand the area of ​​the land. After all, the later it got, the easier it would be to encounter all kinds of weird and evil things.

This is caused by the game mechanism. For example, after laying ten plots of land, the probability of triggering hornworms will gradually increase.

At present, they are doing some big projects on the existing land. For example, after the trees in the initial plot were cut down, a large piece of land was left. The Sarkaz then used the Originium technique to transform the terrain, dug a puddle, and diverted water from the stream to create an artificial pond to raise fish. Then they also need to protect the existing forests and not exhaust them like they did at the beginning, so they set up a forest ranger station to maintain the balance between cutting and planting...

Through a series of working together experiences, Xu Ya and the Sarkaz became familiar with each other, and after understanding each other's temperaments, the sense of strangeness was quickly eliminated.

In addition, the Sarkaz sensed Xu Ya's concern for Mud Rock, so they intentionally or unintentionally encouraged their captain to come and help look after the weak Xu Ya, handing him a bottle of water or a towel when he was panting. Xu Ya would also bring Mud Rock food or some strange-shaped stones and mud blocks as gifts.

Xu Ya, who had read the Mudstone Files, knew that her true identity was the Stone Winged Demon. The power of her blood gave her a wonderful resonance with soil and rock. Giving her these gifts would definitely be the right thing to do!

So relying on this kind of "cheating", the two of them quickly became friends, and slowly developed a relationship beyond friends.

.......

"Wow, am I seeing things? The crops are ripe so quickly. This is too fast. It's only been a few days since we got here?"

"It's been about fifteen days. I've carefully marked the days on the wall."

Fifteen days later, the Sarkaz did not expect that the crops could mature so quickly. This was really beyond their imagination.

Xu Ya said that this is nothing to be surprised about. After all, the maturity speed of crops in the game setting cannot be the same as in reality, otherwise it will discourage players.

However, this setting is unbelievable in reality, which is equivalent to being able to cook at least twelve times a year.

And this speculation was verified after another fifteen days.

The second big harvest came to the small garden. The Sarkaz finally confirmed the terrifying richness of this place. They harvested so much grain and grass that they needed to build many huge barns to store them. The additional wood was not enough, so they could only dig cellars to store them. In addition, in order to extend the shelf life, some warlocks used the freezing Originium technique to convert the cellar into an ice cellar.

I have to say that Originium skills are also very convenient in life.

In addition, as food became more abundant, oil presses and fermentation barrel machines finally came in handy.

The former is used to extract vegetable oil, while the latter can be used to brew grain wine and make magical antibiotics!

The Sarkaz who are now in the midst of all these incredible phenomena have become accustomed to them and are no longer surprised. For them, it is enough that it works well!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

At night, just as the Sarkaz were actively preparing for a grand celebration for the second harvest, this time they prepared a large amount of grain wine in advance and made more abundant food than a month ago, and they were ready to eat and drink until they fell under the table.

A Sarkaz suddenly started coughing violently, spitting out blood and black crystals from his mouth, and then fainted.

This sudden change immediately caused the Sarkaz to stop the celebration and worriedly carried their sick brother to the bed.

"What happened? Is he sick?"

Xu Ya, who rushed over after hearing the news, also wanted to go into the house to see his Sarkaz friends. After spending so many days together, they had developed some feelings for each other.

However, this time, Mudstone blocked the door and did not allow him to enter.

"You can't go in... My compatriot is in a very dangerous situation now, and the warlock is stabilizing his condition..."

"I see. Is Originium disease acting up?"

Xu Ya noticed a large pool of blood on the ground and the black crystals on it, and immediately understood.

Mudstone lowered his eyes and remained silent, obviously being hit by the words.

He almost forgot that this group of Sarkaz were all terminally ill with Originium disease. Usually, these Terrans were very considerate of Xu Ya's feelings in front of him, more or less blocking the hideous crystal clusters exposed on their bodies to restrain the pain.

Mudstone was concerned about him. Originium disease was contagious to a certain extent, and she was worried that Xu Ya, as a healthy person, would be infected with Originium disease by his compatriots.

"Don't be like this. I'm not from Terra. I won't look down on you like other Terrans who have Originium Disease. Don't worry. Let me go in and take a look. I will find a way to cure Originium Disease!"

Xu Ya reached out and stroked the pale hair of the Sarkaz girl, and said seriously.

He knew exactly what Originium was, and believed that he would not be affected. After all, Originium had a built-in friendly recognition function in the pre-civilization setting, and pure humans could not be infected.

Although he is not a human in Arknights, he is still a human after all, so he probably will not be affected by Originium.

Even if he was really infected, he was confident that he could clear himself of the infection with the system.
