Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

Dixia imagined that kind of future, but she didn't know that this was not all the answers for Amber.

Dixia couldn't understand the more complete answer, so it would be better to say something that she could understand. More... Wait until she witnesses it with her own eyes, and then explain it to her. It would be much more efficient than now.

Amber naturally never gave up the idea of ​​expanding this oasis. With the support of elemental power, the "plant growth agent" she formulated was also successful, which is why these date palms and caragana can survive so quickly.

After Amber's research, the date palm is more like a combination of tamarisk and date palm. It can produce fruit and is very helpful in preventing wind and sand. When water resources are abundant, it will produce dates stably. When water resources are insufficient, it will concentrate on the growth of the root system and give up producing fruit. It is extremely excellent no matter how you look at it. Occasionally, it will "split roots", that is, another small date palm will grow not far away from a date palm. The date palms on both sides of the road now come from this.

The shrub Caragana has the same characteristics. It can grow in the desert and has the function of preventing wind and sand, so it is planted in combination with date palm trees.

First, use trees to initially fix the sand, and then improve the soil by spraying improved soil stabilizer. In time, Amber is confident that the environment in this area can be improved.

"But... the Chi Nian Clan alone has the will but not the strength," Kohaku pondered.

She was not just thinking about the area around the Chi Nian clan as before. She wanted to end the spiral of suffering in the entire desert, so the top priority was to solve the resource problem.

Maybe... Amber needs to find time to contact the surrounding clans, try her best to conquer them, and use each clan as the "source" to expand the planting of plants little by little. Such cooperation will be much better than the Chi Nian clan fighting alone.

"Yi, inform Maha, Gabriel, and Abdul when you get back. I have new plans."

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 21: Busy

When the first ray of sunlight at dawn broke through the clouds, Amber, who had been busy all night, finally came back from her endless research. The table in front of her was piled with many papers containing various research notes.

She had originally planned to spend some time printing some books, but in the end she had to admit... this kind of work had to be entrusted to a specialized bookstore. The workload required for her to do it alone, from making the printing plates to printing the books, was too heavy, and she simply didn't have the time.

Amber stood up from the stool, stretched her body, and opened the door. More light illuminated the room. Inside the room were various test tubes, flasks, and experimental equipment, and many notes were placed separately on the shelves.

Casting tools such as smelting furnaces are placed outdoors, but with certain protective measures.

Dixia has already gotten up and is patrolling the Chi Nian clan's base. In addition, there are many new faces in the clan - those are the Blazing Beast Hunters who were sent here according to the contract, with about ten people or more.

Dixia greeted Amber. Half a month had passed since she came here, but her interest remained the same. There was no other reason for this. There were so many new and interesting things in the Chi Nian clan. Whether it was the research on Amber or the various things created by the clan using new knowledge, Dixia felt deeply interested.

"Did you stay up late to study last night? I don't know why you are so anxious." Dixia walked forward, carrying the new fire element sword on her back.

"There's no other way. In order to improve the hatching rate of the first batch of fertilized eggs - and to breed mushroom beasts more efficiently, this is the research I must do." Amber waved her hand and yawned slightly.

With the built chicken coop and fire element warm lamps, the two pairs of chickens are living quite well. By adjusting the temperature of the warm lamps, their reproductive desire and "baby-sitting" behavior can be effectively stimulated. Now it has been seven or eight days since the first batch of fertilized eggs were laid. It won't be long before the first batch of chicks hatch.

The chickens in Teyvat are somewhat similar to white-feathered chickens, but white-feathered chickens are essentially the product of artificial selection and breeding after the 19s and 4s. They produce more meat, but their resistance to disease is not strong accordingly.

But this is indeed a wonderful world. This thing really doesn't make any sense. When a hen grows fat, its neck shrinks like a ball. It also has a strong resistance to disease. Fortunately, its habits remain the same.

In addition, Amber also studied the breeding of mushroom beasts. Unlike white-feathered chickens, the breeding of mushroom beasts is much easier.

"Hey, hey, you guys have it pretty good here except for the small population. Raising chickens... this is something that only Aru Village and other sizable clans can't do." Seeing Amber walking towards the place where mushroom beasts were raised, Dixia hurriedly followed. After spending more than ten days together, she had gradually gotten used to Amber always taking out some new and interesting things from time to time.

"It's not enough, Dishia. It's not enough."

"Okay, it's up to you." After hearing this, Dixia didn't intend to continue arguing with Amber. She couldn't understand why Amber did so much, but there was no rush, she would know later.

Amber and Dishiya came to the house where the mushroom beasts were raised. As the door was pushed open, the scene inside appeared before Dishiya's eyes.

A total of three mushroom beasts were slowly pacing in the house. This creature looked like a mushroom that had been enlarged and given a cute touch. It had a pair of big round eyes and was quite cute.

These are three grass mushroom beasts. Compared with other mushroom beasts, this kind of mushroom beast has less destructive power and is a little more "peaceful".

Amber squatted down, gently picked up a mushroom beast, and turned it over and over to observe it.

No matter how many times Dixia saw it, she always found this scene incredible. Fungus beasts do have certain intelligence, but they are always "alert" to humans. And because they are sensitive to some irritating smells, they sometimes become more violent, so violent that they actively attack humans.

Admittedly, they are actually very weak, and only the existence of multiples can pose a threat to an adult, but in this case, almost no one would deliberately cultivate them.

Dixia didn't know what method Amber used to make them gentle and successfully make these mushroom beasts familiar with the existence of humans. This was somewhat hard to imagine.

The ground of the house where the mushroom beasts live is covered with a lot of grass, which is to provide conditions for the mushroom beasts to "reproduce".

Mushroom beasts will spray out spores every once in a while, and these spores are their means of reproduction. Usually under natural conditions, a large part of the spores they spray will die in the first stage, and the remaining part will develop into "mushroom beast offspring". At this time, the mushroom beasts do not have "intelligence" and are more like ordinary mushrooms - of course, they are just as unpalatable.

After that, most of these offspring will die, and only a lucky few out of a hundred can survive and develop into complete mushroom beasts.

Although the probability is very low, the number of spores is large. If this continues, mushroom beasts will become creatures that can be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, they rarely attack people actively, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

What Amber calls mushroom-beast farming is to collect "mushroom-beast offspring", mix them with some minced meat, residues, etc. to make feed for raising chickens. Mushroom-beasts are indeed very unpalatable, but that is for humans. After experiments, chickens still seem to not reject them, which declares the success of Amber's original plan.

And another advantage is... mushroom beasts eat by directly absorbing the grass elemental power from the soil, which causes almost no harm to the land and is much more economical than raising other things. Fortunately, they are not tasty, otherwise there would be almost no room for other farmed animals.

The picked-up mushroom beast flapped its two short legs, but had no intention of attacking Amber. After the three mushroom beasts were checked one by one, Amber breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, these mushroom beasts did not have any problems, proving that breeding is generally feasible.

She held up another bag and collected all the mushroom beast spawn she could find. In the future, she would artificially cultivate some mushroom beasts to expand the scale of mushroom beast breeding and obtain more feed raw materials. The collected spores could also be used as raw materials for wound medicine.

"I'm really curious about what method you used..."

"You won't understand even if I tell you, so it's better not to tell you." Amber replied unhappily. Dixia had asked too many questions recently, and she explained but Dixia didn't understand. It was a bit uncomfortable for her to be pestered all the time.

"...Okay." Di Xia knew she was in the wrong, so she just nodded.

Amber put down the last mushroom beast, and the mushroom beast staggered to the side and leaned against the other two mushroom beasts there.

She took Dishia away and closed the door behind her.

There is a special person in charge of cleaning the chicken coop every day to prevent the chickens from getting sick. Amber just made a routine observation and left.

Half a month is enough time to do a lot of things. Now there is basically no shortage of houses, and Amber has also devoted manpower to the planting of date palms and caragana.

Now, caragana can be seen everywhere around the Chinanian clan. However, because there are currently limited small trees that can be transplanted, date palms are the only ones planted in many places.

Once the next batch of date palm seeds grow large enough to be transplanted, the next batch of date palm trees can be planted. Thanks to the plant nutrients formulated with amber, the survival rate of these intentionally planted plants is very high.

If it continues to develop at this efficiency, after the first batch of large-scale spraying of soil solidifier, the oasis where the Chi Nian clan is located will only become larger and larger, and it will not be a dream for the surrounding environment to be transformed into a plain in the future.

But if the goal is to change the entire desert... the efficiency of the Chi Nian clan alone is still too slow. Amber said goodbye to Dixia and went to the reception room. The children now have other places to study, so the use of this place has shifted to reception and discussion of clan affairs.

Amber walked into the reception room. A large map was spread out on the long table in the reception room. It depicted the surrounding terrain centered on the Chi Nian clan and had many markings. Aru Village was located in the upper right corner.

On the day Dixia first arrived at the Chi Nian Clan, she called together the core members of the clan and told them her next plan.

She first arranged for them to explore the surrounding situation and draw this map together. She also arranged for the three of them to convey the message to the three surrounding clans the day before yesterday.

Two of these three clans are located to the south of the Chi Nian clan, in the southeast and southwest directions respectively. They are both small clans, named Li clan and Ya clan. The other clan, located to the northwest of the Chi Nian clan, is a medium-sized clan, named Chiguan clan.

The Li clan and the Ya clan are both within 5 kilometers of the Chinanian clan, which is not far, while the Chiguan clan is more than 5 kilometers away in a straight line.

Amber wants to unite several nearby clans, concentrate the strength of the four clans, and jointly plan big things.

Of course—she must be the absolute leader. If the three clans are willing to accept, Amber will give them a destined bright future. If they are not willing to accept...

Blood and violence have long been ingrained in the bones of the people of the sand. Amber doesn't mind using some "unconventional means" to deal with those who refuse to cooperate. This will be her first shot to establish her reputation, so naturally she has to establish enough prestige, otherwise she won't be able to gain enough trust.

Just as clans choose their leaders based on who has the bigger fist and who is right, the same is true when several clans establish cooperation.

Amber tapped the map with her fingers from time to time, thinking about the future arrangements. If nothing unexpected happened, these people should be back. Just as Amber expected, accompanied by some commotion outside the door, Amber saw three people returning one after another through the window.

Yi and Maha were not as experienced as Abdul. Their targets were the two small clans, while Abdul's target was the medium-sized clan. Thanks to Abdul's sufficient experience in traveling in the desert, he even came back with Yi and Maha.

The three of them shook off the dust on their thick cloaks, pushed open the door and walked into the reception room one by one.

Chapter 22: Analysis of the Situation

Gabriel pushed open the door, straightened his cloak, looked back at the still sleeping little Jade, closed the door, and rushed to the reception room.

The time he spent living in the Chi Nian clan made him feel a lot of emotions. Little Jade has now learned all the things that Amber called "pinyin" and has begun to slowly learn some simple words. This makes him feel that Little Jade is different from himself.

You know... because of his busy work, he has just finished learning pinyin, and he feels that he will be even busier in the future.

Gabriel sighed, but the corners of his mouth were raised. The scene of Amber announcing the next arrangements to him and Abdul a few days ago was still echoing in his mind.

"As long as the desert remains unchanged, the fighting will continue. The Chi Nian clan will eventually be drawn into these conflicts and perish."

This sentence made Gabriel think for a long time, and he finally got the answer. The oasis is like the only meat, and the clans are like hyenas fighting for the meat. As long as the total amount of meat is not enough for all clans to use, the fight will never stop - not to mention that most of the oases are actually declining.

Amber has a way to change the current situation, but the Chi Nian clan cannot do it alone, so it wants to conquer the nearby clans, and Gabriel supports this idea.

Although he didn't quite understand why those trees, those shrubs and those potions alone could change the desert, it was a good thing that the clan was growing stronger. As long as he didn't give up thinking, he would understand it sooner or later.

"Good morning, Hepiter." The members of the Chi Nian tribe met on the road greeted Gabriel, and Gabriel nodded to them one by one. Unconsciously, he had gained the trust of the tribe members with his strong martial arts skills, and he truly became a member of the clan.

Gabriel walked to the front of the reception room and pushed the door open. The three people inside seemed to have just returned and hadn't even warmed up their seats yet.

"Sorry, I'm late." Gabriel pulled the stool a little further away, sat on it, and waited for Amber to speak.

"It's not late, the time is just right." Amber paused, she pointed to the Li clan on the map, and motioned Maha to explain the situation on his side. Seeing this, Maha was no longer silent, and with his deep voice, the situation of the Li clan was narrated.

"The Li clan is slightly smaller than the Chinanian clan, with around 60 members, half of whom are young and middle-aged, and the rest are elderly and children. Their leader is a man in his 40s, slightly younger than Abdul, named 'Anil.' He's quite strong, but clearly not very skilled in strategy."

"I visited him with gifts and explained my purpose. He readily agreed and said he would come before tomorrow night as invited."

"Yeah." Amber nodded. She thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Tell me your analysis, Maha."

Seeing this, Maha's mouth curled up slightly. Unlike what he appeared on the surface, Maha was actually just like his father, not lacking in strategy.

"Less than half of the other clan's members are young and strong. This is highly unrealistic and a sign of impending decline. The fact that their leader is in his 40s and has no future leader accompanying him further proves this point. For a small clan like this, gaining their cooperation is easy as long as we offer our support."

"The situation within their clan also proves this; they're living a very tight life."

Maha's analysis is very reasonable. He is good at seeing the status of a clan from such appearances. As Maha said, it is very abnormal for a leader to be without an escort in his 40s. Usually at this time, he will choose a next leader to accompany him and pass on the knowledge of managing the clan to him.

There is no successor...it's obvious.

Amber nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the Crow Clan, and motioned for Yi to speak.

"The Crow Clan is a typical matriarchal clan, led by a leader named 'Sanjara'. She has some skills, and she manages the clan in an orderly manner. Unlike the Li Clan that Maha mentioned, the Crow Clan is likely to develop into a medium-sized clan in the future. They have a caravan - this is rare among small clans."

"It's clear that the Crow Clan relies heavily on trade. After I explained my purpose, Sanjara thought this was a good deal and will arrive before tomorrow night."

Amber was silent. She thought for a moment and placed her finger on the Red Crown Clan. Abdul, with a complicated expression, spoke upon seeing this.

"As I initially anticipated, the Red Crown Clan, as a medium-sized clan, is very interested in uniting several clans. They are very interested in bringing the Red Nian Clan, the Li Clan, and the Crow Clan under their wing."

As Abdul spoke, Amber narrowed her eyes slightly, and the Eye of God on her waist also emitted a purple light.

"The Red Crown Clan is a powerful clan in every sense of the word. The oasis they occupy is also very large, with abundant water reserves. They use water without restraint, even reclaiming a piece of land for growing wheat."

"They number over 260 in total, the majority young and strong. They have their own Gold Crossing Brigade, the 'Red Crown'. Their leader is a very strong man in his thirties. Like Gabriel, he is skilled in wielding a great axe and is very proud of the Red Crown's strength."

Abdul recalled his arrival at the Red Crown Clan. He came to the Red Crown Clan with the gift prepared by Amber - a weapon that could use elemental power.

The Red Crown Clan's settlement was so rich that the oasis there was twice as large as that of the Chinanian Clan. As a result, the Red Crown Clan was very prosperous. They used these water sources without restraint and did not hide in their words how they obtained this oasis.

The clans that were originally here were destroyed by them, and they naturally took over and enjoyed their spoils wantonly, completely ignoring the consequences that such squandering might cause.

There are indeed such clans in the desert. These clans are like plunderers who obtain resources through plundering. They are complete parasites. In the past, there were far more such clans than now. Now, because there are fewer and fewer existing oases, many plunderer clans have either disappeared or turned into those gilded brigades with no bottom line.

"They are a typical predator clan. They destroyed the clans that originally lived there and seized the oasis. Based on my experience, within a few years, the oasis will shrink significantly, and they will inevitably look for new prey."

"When I visited, they mocked the Chi Nian Clan, a relatively unknown clan, for daring to flaunt its wealth. They then threatened me, asking me to tell you, the leader, to hand over the weapon manufacturing methods within three days, or they would personally lead their troops to destroy the Chi Nian Clan."

The atmosphere in the reception room froze for a moment. Gabriel, Yi and Maha didn't know what to say. The gift they brought was naturally a weapon that could use elemental power, and at Amber's instruction, they revealed that the weapon was man-made.

But even though they knew that Amber was deliberately fishing to leak money, they were still somewhat afraid of the power of the Red Crown Clan.

There are a total of more than 260 tribesmen, most of whom are young and strong. In addition, there is a gilded brigade under the clan - "Red Crown". Although a large number of them are former clan members, even so, this is an enemy that is almost impossible to resist head-on at the moment.

"What did they tell you, Abdul?" Amber crossed her fingers and there was no trace of panic in her eyes.

"..." Abdul was silent for a moment before speaking again: "They first mocked the Chi Nian clan. The leader didn't even tell me his name, and then asked me to convey his decision."

"Oh, how arrogant." Amber raised the corner of her mouth with a slightly sarcastic arc. It was worth it for her to expose this "wealth" that was attractive enough in the eyes of the people of the sand. It really attracted a bird that stood out.

As for the opponent's size? That's not a problem.

"Yi, tell the members of the Blazing Beast Hunters to protect the safety of the Chi Nian clan during this period of time." Amber gave Yi an order.

"Then, I need the four of you to be ready for battle before noon."

In response to Amber's order, the four nodded. Amber left the reception room and walked towards her room.

There was still some time until noon, and before that, she had some time to rest well and prepare for the planned battle.

She is not good at blindly defending, but actively attacking.

……

"Ah? Really? Do you need me to come with you or send someone to ask for help and get some companions to help?" After listening to Yi's explanation, Dixia became a little "restless". She didn't like those predator clans very much, and when she heard that there was a fight to be fought, she had already thought about what to do.
