The Upcoming Mu's Settlement (3)
Left with nothing to do after going around the pond, Mu Qing Lang returned to the camp. He joined the others for dinner and returned to his favorite spot.
He entered the carriage impatiently and sat on the chair. The Information Table took three seconds to scan the potato and another plant on him before giving him the option to choose from.

[Two new plants are found. Please select from the following option:]

"I'll check on the potato first." Mu Qing Lang tapped at the first option without hesitation.

Item Description: loved by Chang Emperor, the Prairie Golden Potato is one of the most precious foods enjoyed by his majesty. Long shelf-life, capable of a mass plantation, flexible to be both eaten, stored, or dried. Unfortunately, the plant vanishes along with his majesty and only can be found in the wild because they've left uncared. The quality of this plant is excellent! A little effort of cultivation may bring benefit to this plant's quality.

"The yield is 100 times to 300 times from the piece of potato planted, but the waiting time is fifteen days, which is quite long considering the quality of the soil here. Worst of all, I'm unsure if the potato followed the way it's grown in my world. If it does, I can only grow them on this field once."
Mu Qing Lang understanding regarding potato can be said as second to none due to his previous job. In fact, he rewrites the entire report from paper into the database record, making his understanding of potato is unrivaled.

"This is a headache... Choosing the first option might give me a wondrous instrument, but I don't want to get a golden hoe or mighty sheer from this choice." Mu Qing Lang wanted the first option, but his worries made him reject it.
"The second option might allow a goblin or the satyr to evolve, but what will they become? If I get another goblin teacher, then I'll faint on the spot. As for the third option, it should be my best choice... Who knows if it gave me something special like the Xian-Ren Grass?"
"The last option gave me 10% experience point, which is 200... It seems a lot, but actually little if I calculate my experience per day. It's only worth three days of experience point. Which means, choosing the third choice is the best." Mu Qing Lang calculated his total experience per day. 15 times four slates are sixty, added with a Small Xian Pill, he will obtain 70 experience point every day without worries.
"Choose option 3." Mu Qing Lang tapped on the third option.

[New plant's seed is available. Please check the carriage for more detail]

[The Carriage of Immortality will now produce *1* Yunxia Bamboo Shoot daily]

"Bamboo... Shoot? Now, this is a piece of good news. But unfortunately, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to read the information." Mu Qing Lang is a little disappointed that the table did not provide the new information related to the Yunxia Bamboo.
But the disappointment was temporary. Mu Qing Lang tapped on the next option, and read the information related to the Rock Sage.
= = = = = = = = = =
Prairie Rock Sage [Unranked]
Condition: Matured / one of five miraculous medicine found in Chang Emperor Prairie
Maturity: 5 days in a natural condition (30 hours if nourished by Spiritual Thread)
Harvest: 12 edible leaves / 2 seeds every cycle
-
Item Description: Known for their amazing benefit for improving health, promotes better pregnancy, and a healing infusion for the spirit. Funny enough, the Prairie Rock Sage reproduction rate can be said to be the weakest, with only two seeds is produced in every life cycle, and only last for three cycles. This plant's quality is too low to be graded but has great potential.

"Alright, reading is done. Food is done, production should wait for tomorrow of a few days later. It's time to..."
"Tok, Tok, Tok. Master."
Mu Qing Lang stretches his arms as he gets ready to sleep, but a call from the outside keep him from heading to his bed. Unwillingly, Mu Qing Lang went to the door to see who's calling for him.
"Oh, Han Xi. What's wrong?" Mu Qing Lang is puzzled by Han Xi's visit but soon feel at ease. The human member came here to hand him the collected Opium Latex. It was kept in a fine straw woven tray, with most of them had dried and formed into clumps.
"Thank you for delivering it." Mu Qing Lang knows what is being thankful and shoved ten Small Xian Pills and Xian-Qin Pills into Han Xi's hand.
"Gave everyone one of each. Remember to eat it tonight before sleep, it will benefit your body and health," Mu Qing Lang added before he shuts the Carriage doors.
Puzzled, Han Xi returned to the shared hut and distributed the pills to each and every one. They take it when going to bed, only to see the miraculous result the next morning.
Mu Qing Lang did the same as usual and went to his bed exhausted.
...
Day twenty-one.
It was the busiest day of the entire week. Luckily, with the help of ten additional members, the harvesting goes very smoothly. The Xian-Ren Grass, Amber Root, and Demonic Juniper Flower yield the same harvest as usual. As for the Prairie Herbal-Cress, they harvested 76.8kg before replanted 244 cubic meters of them.
This will be the final expansion of the Prairie Herbal-Cress, which was grown to a total of 500 cubic meters. Their harvest will maintain at 150kg every two days to balance out the usage of Xian-Ren Grass and also the allocation of manpower to other fields.
And most importantly, today was the day to harvest the matured Chang-Er Bronze Wheat and also Mingwen Soybeans! The goblins have been waiting for too long for today, and before the plants were harvested, all manpower has been allocated to replant the next five fields full of Chang-Er Bronze Wheat.
As for the soon to be emptied field, they will be used to plant the new Prairie Golden Potato and also the upcoming Yunxia Bamboo. Based on the size of the farmland, it is more than enough to accommodate the two kinds of plants.
The end of today harvest yields them a total of 9kg worth of Fine Wheat Flour, 10kg worth of Mingwen Soybean, and 2,600 Poppy Fruits. A kilogram of the flour was given to Mu Qing Lang, while the others will be made into noodle dishes for consumption daily.
Given the chances to make a precise modification on the hand miller, their yield on the Fine Wheat Flour is even better than before. While the lasses are preparing the food for their lunch, the others help Mu Qing Lang to cut open the Poppy Fruit, or known as Seed Pods when they dried up, to obtain the seeds within.
A part of the seeds here will be allocated for next use, but altogether Mu Qing Lang collected 520gm worth of Poppy Seeds in total. Impatient to check their information, Mu Qing Lang is restless as the noodle gets into the soup pot to be cooked.
Half an hour later, they finished their lunch. Mu Qing Lang returned to his carriage impatiently to check on the new products, while the others had their own things to do. One of them was to help Fengbu to complete his stone hut.
But not even half an hour past after their meal, one of the human group came back urgently, with a bitten wound on his right arm. The blood drips on the ground as he runs into their camp.
"Master! Big problem!"
"The western area is infested with Ashen Wolves! There's too many of them!" Han Xi screamed from the fear. And that was the worst news he could ever think of.
"Damn wolves. If you dare to kill any of my workers, I'll make sure to slaughter all of you until this prairie no longer house an Ashen Wolf!" Mu Qing Lang tossed the reins of Xiao Hui to Ka-Ba.
"Yulin! Gather the goblins and follow behind me! Luoli and Luoyi, find Fengbu and bring him back to the hut! We're are at war against the wolf from this moment onward!" Mu Qing Lang completed his sentence and charged out from his camp through the western exit.
