Let’s set off! Thunder City!

After this harvest, Night Sangeng obtained over a thousand catties of wheat, two hundred and fifty catties of potatoes, and more than two thousand five hundred chili peppers. If he were to sell them all, according to Weng Ling's estimate, he could fetch at least two gold coins.

This is merely the income for five days. Calculating for a month of thirty days, it amounts to twelve gold coins, which is comparable to the income of a bakery owner.

The crucial point is that Night Sangeng doesn't need to pay wages to workers...

Of course, excluding those cursed souls.

However, Night Sangeng currently has no plans to sell them immediately. Firstly, for him, gold coins are not urgently needed at the moment. Selling through retail channels would also be too cumbersome. Therefore, he intends to convert all these items into life force first, accumulating his own strength.

After having his fill, with Weng Ling's assistance, Night Sangeng carefully picked the green berries that had grown on the potato plants. Then, he peeled out hundreds of tiny potato seeds, even smaller than sesame seeds, and planted them in plots 2 and 3.

According to Weng Ling, conventional potato planting usually involves sprouted seed potatoes. However, since Night Sangeng's fields have an acceleration effect, planting with seeds significantly shortens the cycle and saves more potatoes.

So, plot 1 continues to grow wheat, while plots 2 and 3 are for planting potatoes. Chili peppers will not be planted for the time being. The information on the signboard of farm number 1 now reads:

Plot 1: Newly sown wheat x25, 10 days until harvest.

Plot 2: Newly sown potatoes x25, 5 days until harvest.

Plot 3: Newly sown potatoes x25, 5 days until harvest.

Plot 4: Growing wheat x25, 5 days until harvest.

Watching the skeleton farmers diligently laboring again, Night Sangeng, satisfied, picked his teeth and approached the rat house that Bed had set up.

Two days ago, Bed had already completed the analysis of the Magic Rat's excitation substance and officially started breeding them in the rat house.

According to his requirements, the rat house was divided into small compartments, each planned to breed around 10 Magic Rats. They were categorized into juveniles, pregnant rats, breeding rats, and marketable rats. However, at the moment, there were only four Magic Rat juveniles.

As Night Sangeng approached the rat enclosure, the little Magic Rats, which had already opened their eyes, happily gathered by the wall. They continuously twitched their noses towards him, and their front paws gestured as if making a salute. It was quite adorable.

"Bed, you've trained them well. It seems that the wild nature of the Magic Rats will be smoothed out by you soon?"

Leaning against the side while sipping porridge, Bed wiped her mouth and casually threw a handful of wheat husks into the rat enclosure.

"Wild instincts buried in the soul are not so easily erased. I just sprayed a bit of material on you, making them think you're their mother, that's all."

"Uh..."

Night Sangeng's face turned dark. So, those Magic Rats weren't asking for food; they were asking for milk?

"Let me tell you something. I just heard from Weng Ling that in the Misty Forest, well, the place opposite to where you used to live, there is a city. Have you seen any goblins or similar creatures over there?"

The Magic Rat plague in the neighboring Baiyan Village lasted only two days. After devouring most of the food, it suddenly disappeared, leaving the newly gathered troops and adventurers in Tian Shi City punching the air.

Although no one later came to trouble the Lorant Territory, this thwarted Night Sangeng's plan to "pick up" a few bodies to build houses.

So, he turned his gaze to the other side of Lorant City, the place that had been abandoned for many years:

The deserted Thunderclap City.

The natural rules of the wild should apply wherever humans rarely tread. Therefore, Night Sangeng tentatively asked Bed.

Bed gave him a disdainful look. "Come on, I didn't dare to come out before I met you. How would I know what's over there? But..."

She scratched her horned head and suddenly clapped her hands as if recalling something.

"About five years ago, I sent five Goblin squads, each with ten members, over there to help me hunt for food. However, only one Goblin squad leader managed to escape back, and it looked half-dead. Moreover, it had a piece of human arm hanging from its buttocks."

"A human arm?" Night Sangeng exclaimed.

How could there be humans in the abandoned Thunderclap City?

Bed nodded. "Yes, but it was a rotting arm. I found it smelly, so I let it throw away that arm. After that, I was worried that humans from over there might notice, so I never sent Goblins there again."

"What about that Goblin? Did it say anything?" Night Sangeng inquired.

Bed shook her head. "Apart from looking utterly frightened, even if it wanted to say something, it couldn't."

"Why?"

"Of course, it's to prevent them from disclosing my information. So, I cut off their tongues." Bed casually took another sip of porridge, her expression indifferent.

Only then did Night Sangeng remember that the calm and beautiful woman in front of him was a Succubus from the Demon race. For her, such actions were entirely normal.

Although the Goblins had been enchanted and lost their minds, fearing that they might be purified and awaken to reveal her whereabouts, she decisively cut off their tongues. It was quite ruthless!

But if it were him, he might have done the same. After all, caution is the ship that sails for a thousand years.

"That..." Night Sangeng scratched his head.

"I still want to investigate over there. Can you handle Weng Ling while I'm away?"

He had no intention of letting Weng Ling know about his plans, and someone had to oversee the work on the farm. Therefore, Bed was the most suitable candidate.

"The boss says it, and that's it. What can a part-time working girl like me say?"

Bed gave him a disdainful look, grabbed a handful of wheat, and smashed it on the heads of the Magic Rats.

Night Sangeng awkwardly smiled and exited.

"Don't take me with you..."

Bed glanced at the empty bowl, quickly lowered her head, and secretly licked it.

"Um..."

Bed, startled, quickly hid the bowl behind her as Night Sangeng turned around. Her expression was flustered.

"Well, I just wanted to inform you that I'll be taking Lao Gu and Dong Chenxiu with me."

Night Sangeng looked at the Magic Rats scrambling for food.

"Take them, take them all!"

"Oh, and one more thing. If I don't come back on time tomorrow, you still have to continue sleeping in the ice house, you know?"

"Uh..." Bed sighed, and her inner thoughts couldn't escape.

"Understood, but I also have something to tell you."

Night Sangeng was puzzled.

Bed turned around to face him directly.

"I sense an ominous aura in that direction. Please don't die!"
