108: Raising chickens and digging for mines! A method to turn a shelter into a golden palace!

Crash!

Su Lie was gently shoveling dirt along the edge of the explosion pit.

When he scooped out the third shovel of dirt.

Four fist-sized potatoes appeared in the dirt.

The potatoes looked exactly like the ones Su Lie had seen before, but their actual function was different.

He carefully picked up one potato from the dirt and brought it back inside the Shelter.

Only then did he use his Enhancement Talent on the potato.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, a red light flashed across the potato.

Its outer yellow skin changed, turning it into a potato covered with red stripes.

These stripes showed no discernible pattern.

Su Lie then looked at its panel.

[red-striped exploding potato: Red God-level Quality; Severe impact, trampling, or vibration can trigger this potato's self-detonation. The explosive energy is equivalent to 1 ton of TNT explosive yield.

Special Effect - Command Word: The red-striped exploding potato can be detonated using a set command word.

Special Effect - Delayed Detonation: The red-striped exploding potato can be detonated using a time setting.

Special Effect - Holy Light Burst: Upon explosion, it releases a holy light that suppresses all evil demons and ghosts, setting the target ablaze.

Special Effect - Easy Cultivation: As long as the potato is buried in the soil and watered, it can sprout and grow, yielding more red-striped exploding potatoes.

Special Effect - Bountiful Harvest: Each red-striped exploding potato plant can yield 100 new potatoes.

Note: Setting the command word or delayed detonation for this potato requires one monster crystal each time the effect is used.

Note: This potato is highly flammable and explosive. Please cultivate it in the wilderness to avoid causing serious harm to yourself.]

"Good heavens! This is a fantastic item! A sharp weapon for large-scale combat!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up.

He looked up and instructed Su Liya: "Liya! Arrange for 5 Little Skeletons to dig up these explosive potatoes in front of the door! Remember, they must dig gently, and the potatoes must be kept at a certain distance from each other!"

"The excavation direction should follow the width of the door and continue forward all the way to the small lake!"

He had temporarily assigned a pioneering task.

Currently, if he wanted to leave the oasis and explore the city ruins further away.

He still needed to clear a path.

The most urgent task right now was summarizing the experience of digging up the explosive potatoes.

And adapting to activities in the high-gravity area.

Only with experience and environmental adaptation could they dig up the potatoes better and faster.

Su Lie immediately followed up with more instructions: "Remember! Do not allow the potatoes to suffer severe impact, and certainly do not trample them! Once dug up, pile them in the area inside the door, and I will come to collect them later!"

"Yes! Master!"

Upon hearing this, Su Liya immediately found 5 Little Skeletons and gave them their assignments.

Afterward.

Su Lie then had Xuxu select 5 Little Skeletons from the newly converted ones specifically for managing the Pigsty.

The remaining 486 Little Skeletons were assigned by him to enter the stone mine cave to quarry Stone.

Therefore, he consumed another 500 units of wood, 1,000 units of iron nail, and 1,000 units of iron to forge 500 pickaxes, and then upgraded all of them to Red God-level Quality.

After the Little Skeletons entered the mine cave.

Su Lie checked the harvest from the previous night.

He had obtained a total of 50,000 units of elemental stone and 100,000 units of Stone.

These resources earned him 15 rewards, accumulating 1,500 Mist Points.

Afterward.

He then came to the courtyard on the left side.

He planted the red-striped exploding potato in his hand into Spirit Field No. 25.

The Sunlight Wheat, sorghum, and soybean in the other spirit fields had already sprouted and were growing.

The Sunlight Wheat had grown to 50 centimeters tall, the sorghum to 1 meter, and the soybean to 30 centimeters.

It looked like they would be ready for harvest soon.

As soon as the potato was planted in the soil, it immediately sprouted roots and grew into a tender green potato plant.

Su Lie walked into the Paddy Field.

The rice seedlings in the Paddy Field had grown, reaching a height of 60 centimeters, presenting a striking sight of green.

The cucumbers in the Vegetable Garden on the right had already flowered and borne fruit, and the spinach had grown into lush green clumps.

The chili peppers had grown fruit, but the cabbage was only 20 centimeters tall.

"The cucumber and spinach should be ready to eat tomorrow! The chili pepper can be harvested today, but the cabbage might have to wait until the day after tomorrow!"

Su Lie said with a smile upon seeing this.

Their rapid growth was mainly due to the special effects of the Vegetable Garden.

After inspecting the Vegetable Garden.

Su Lie came to the Pigsty.

Two piglets were lying on the ground, sound asleep.

There were some leftover big hairy chestnuts in the feed trough, and some Exorcism Holy Water in the water trough.

The Blazing Flame Divine Chicken stood on the half-wall of the pigpen with its head held high, looking like a guard.

Xuxu was directing the Little Skeletons to familiarize themselves with the sacrificial panel, teaching them hands-on how to clean.

Before long.

After the instruction was complete.

Xuxu found Su Lie: "Master! These Snowflake Pigs aren't very interested in the big hairy chestnuts. I took some spinach from the Vegetable Garden, but they wouldn't eat that either! I suspect, are these pigs carnivorous?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie immediately instructed Xuxu: "Go to the mine cave and gather 20 Little Skeletons. Have them bring machetes. I will take out some night demon rat corpses for you. You will butcher them according to my instructions, and then feed the meat to the Snowflake Pigs!"

"Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!"

The Blazing Flame Divine Chicken immediately cried out upon hearing this.

Xuxu smiled and said to Su Lie: "It says it wants to eat!"

"Mm! Alright!"

Saying this, Su Lie took 100 night demon rat corpses from his storage pouch and placed them in the waste area.

There was no need to fetch more Exorcism Holy Water; they only needed to retrieve the jade bamboo tube from the Shelter.

After completing the arrangements here.

Su Lie returned inside the Shelter: "The Blazing Flame Divine Chicken was certainly excellent in last night's battle! Instead of leaving my remaining 39 Blazing Flame Divine Chicken eggs to be used as eggs, it would be better to hatch them all and use them as chicks!"

"This way, I can not only get fresh Blazing Flame Divine Chicken eggs but also eat meat!"

"Most importantly, the Blazing Flame Divine Chicken eats bugs!"

Thinking of this.

Su Lie then took out the 39 Blazing Flame Divine Chicken eggs he had.

He then provided each egg with 100,000 level 0 monster crystals to serve as the incubation nest.

"I only need to wait 5 hours!"

After Su Lie finished arranging the eggs.

He then took out the materials required to craft the Mist Pistol and the night demon armor.

He intended to craft the corresponding tools for these 496 Little Skeletons.

Just like that.

After he consumed 49,600 units of iron, 2,480 units of iron nail, 496,124,000 monster crystals, and 496 night crystals.

He obtained 496 Mist Pistols and 496 pieces of night demon armor.

After completion.

He then consumed 54,560 monster crystals and 9,920 units of iron to craft 10 magazines for each Mist Pistol.

Following this.

He used Enhance to upgrade all these items to God-tier.

At this point, he had 9,507,145,580 level 0 monster crystals remaining.

He had 108,450 units of night crystal remaining.

He had 4,791,416 units of iron and 9,987,505 iron nails remaining.

After completing the armament.

When Su Lie looked up, he saw Xuxu sitting by the bed sewing a Backpack. He asked Xuxu: "Xuxu! Is your work finished?"

"Yes! I have handed down all the necessary instructions, and the Little Skeletons can complete most of the work independently! I only need to coordinate and plan!"

Xuxu nodded seriously.

Su Lie realized that Xuxu truly excelled in management far beyond Su Liya and Su Keqing, so he immediately instructed Xuxu: "When you have time, teach Liya and Keqing your work experience in this area!"

"Yes! Yes, Master!"

Xuxu stood up and responded solemnly.

Su Lie then asked: "Did you make the toilet?"

"Uh... Are you dissatisfied?"

This startled Xuxu, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Su Lie laughed and said: "No! I am very satisfied! I just don't know how you made it?"

Xuxu sighed in relief and quickly displayed her Skill: "This is my Skill, Manipulate Gold..."

As she spoke.

She took the gold block that Su Lie had provided to her as food.

Under her control.

The gold was as soft as dough.

That wasn't all.

She could also use her Skill to turn the gold block into flowing liquid.

After the liquid covered the surface of an object.

She could use her Skill to solidify the golden liquid back into a solid.

Under her manipulation, an Eight Immortals Table was completely wrapped in the golden liquid, turning it into a gold table.

Xuxu stated solemnly: "I can also control the gold to penetrate into any tiny pore or gap!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He had originally planned to use Stone to build walls for private spaces and functional rooms he needed.

Now it seemed.

This was completely unnecessary.

He only needed to utilize Xuxu's ability.

Combined with his Skill, Gathering Earth into Gold.

He could turn the Shelter into the "Golden Palace"!

A Shelter constructed entirely of gold... Thinking of this, Su Lie immediately stood up. He grabbed Xuxu's hand and said as he walked: "Come! Come! Come! Xuxu! I have a task for you..."
