Chapter 22: Incomparable Delicacy

[Ding~ The Russian olive seeds (acre) have been successfully planted. The Russian olive seed ripens once a month. Please maintain sufficient water sources for irrigation.]

Richard looked at the lush and verdant olive trees in front of him and was in a great mood.

This was the future.

Richard reached out and took out a resource treasure -- spring water fragment. Under the extremely heated gazes of the residents, he placed it directly at the entrance of the olive forest.

In the next second, the crystal-like treasure melted directly into the ground.

After a few breaths, gurgling sounds could be heard as if something had appeared. The sand was rapidly rising.

The surrounding residents were stunned. What was this?

'Puchi!'

The spring water fragment with fine sand suddenly spurted out water a few meters high from the yellow sand.

The crystal-like water column brushed down. Under the sun's illumination, it emitted a seven-colored glow.

Desert rainbow…

The surrounding people immediately cried out in surprise.

"There's water! There's water!!"

"There's really water!!"

"It's so amazing!!"

Everyone was shocked.

After the spring water fragment spurted out a water column that was several meters high, it gradually returned to normal spring water.

Only the rainbow was still hanging in the air. It was magnificent.

After the water flowed into the dry sand, spider web-like traces immediately appeared.

The surrounding yellow sand began to crazily devour the water source.

Following the saturation of the underground water, the spring water began to flow into the olive trees.

When Richard saw this scene, the smile on his face was dazzling.

He turned around to face the excited crowd and spoke loudly.

"My people, this is only the beginning. Twilight City will be an oasis in the desert, an oasis of hope and the future.

"All of you will follow me to witness this miracle!"

Two short sentences immediately raised the atmosphere to another level.

"Long live, the Lord!"

No one knew who spoke, but everyone followed suit and shouted excitedly.

"Long live, the Lord!"

"Long live, the Lord!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

The shouts were filled with respect for Richard and hope for the future.

At this moment, they used their voices to release all the excitement in their hearts.

After a long time, the crowd that had enough of it dispersed excitedly.

Richard left Karu behind and gave him a new mission.

"Send people to build a reservoir near the spring. The sand cannot hold water, so it needs to be built with stones.

At the same time, send 10 residents to manage the olive forest. Build a ditch inside so the spring water can flow in.

"Russian olive trees need an adequate water source. We must ensure that every single Russian olive tree is watered."

"Yes, Lord. I will personally supervise it. There will surely be no mistakes!" Karu's tone was firm.

This was the cornerstone of Twilight City. If anything happened to anyone, these Russian olive trees would not have any trouble!

After giving his instructions, Richard passed through the Russian olive forest and returned to the place where he had killed the nak troll the other day.

Even without the nak troll, the desert bees were still buzzing.

He didn't know where these desert bees went to gather honey.

The Russian olive trees had been planted. It was time to move these rare-level desert bees.

Otherwise, if a wild beast dug out the beehive, Richard would lose a lot of money.

But before that, he had to level up the desert bees first.

Now that the desert bees still recognized him, if he dared to dig out the beehive, he would surely be stung.

Richard, who was already prepared, took out 200 units of fresh meat from the warehouse in the system space in the morning and exchanged them for 8,000 units of supplies.

Then, he opened the [Trading Market] and spent 5,000 units of resources to buy 10 lairs of insect troops.

[Ding~ The desert bee lair has met the requirements for upgrading. Do you want to use 10 normal insect troop lairs to upgrade?]

[Confirmed.]

The 10 troop lairs in Richard's hands shattered and turned into a fluorescent light that flowed into the honeycomb on the bush.

After a few breaths, the light was swallowed by the honeycomb.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" 

A large number of desert bees surged out of the honeycomb and flew around Richard to show their affection.

[Desert Beehive]

[Level: Special]

[Queen Bee: Rare (When upgrades to advanced-level, the hive produces better quality, advanced desert honey)]

[Characteristics: Can produce a better quality of desert honey with a special aroma. After eating, it can greatly increase the recovery speed of stamina and injuries, and slightly increase the recovery speed of magic power.]

[Number of Bees: Small]

[Quantity: A minimum of 10 units of better quality honey per week]

[Description: A rare-level bee in the desert. Extremely rare.]

After leveling up, the desert honey had an additional characteristic that could recover magic power. It was truly a superb item.

Richard laughed heartily.

Now, he could taste the sensation of the honey.

Richard took two steps forward, pushed aside the bushes and leaves, and reached out to break a piece of honeycomb out of the hive.

The honey had been sealed, and he could smell a very distinct fragrance without having to place it next to his nose.

It was ten times more fragrant than any honey he had ever eaten before.

He was salivating wildly.

Richard could not help but take a bite directly.

The honey had a long silk thread, which looked especially crystal clear under the sun.

Richard chewed lightly, and with a bit of sticky honey in his mouth, he scratched his tongue.

In the next second, an indescribable sweetness exploded in Richard's mouth.

His entire body was instantly filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

'Gulp.'

After swallowing down to his stomach, Richard's abdomen was slightly warm, and then it quickly spread to his limbs.

His entire body felt like he was soaking in warm water, and he felt relaxed all over.

After he finished off a small piece of honeycomb, Richard did not come back to his senses for a long time. He had been immersed in that peerless delicacy.

After a long time, Richard let out a long breath and felt the comfort coming from his body. His eyes were full of amazement and emotion.

"This is a superb taste bomb!"

"Before I transmigrated, this thing was sold for 100,000 yuan per jar. Now, a million yuan is f*cking worth it!"

"How can there be such delicious honey in this world? Moreover, this is only honey made from a beginner-level honeycomb... Now that the queen has been upgraded to rare-level, how amazing will it be when the rare-level honey is produced next week?!"

"If it's upgraded to advanced-level honey, how will it feel?"

Richard took a look at the desert bee's next upgrade requirement.

Just like the other two troop hives, the upgrade requirement had been increased to 10 elite-level troop hives or 100 normal troop hives, and the cooldown time had not changed.

The next upgrade could only be done in seven days.

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Richard took out an empty bucket from the system space and personally removed the honeycomb.

Then, he went to the center of the Rusian olive forest and temporarily placed the beehive there.

Richard called Karu, who hadn't left yet, and told him to ask the carpenter to build a giant beehive for the desert bees.

Richard's order was the iron order of absolute priority.

In less than an hour, a few carpenters arrived carrying a specially made giant beehive.

Richard put the beehive in the giant beehive.

At the same time, he left two pieces of sealed honey as food for the bees.

With about 10 units of honey left, Richard put it away with a smile on his face.

After he had the beehive secured, the desert bees, which produced the best honey, completely settled down in the Russian olive forest.

From now on, 10 units of honey would be provided to Richard every week, and this was the lowest.

After a few days, when the Russian olive trees bloomed, the production of honey would be even greater.

Richard looked at the water that was already flowing into the Russian olive forest, and his mood was great.

It was all thanks to this spring water fragment that the entire ecosystem was activated.

Russian olive forest and honey. This was almost becoming an industry.

"I still don't know what the taste of Russian olive is like, but the quality of the honey is surely top quality."

"If we can breed a few more lairs of desert bees and make them a specialty of Twilight City, it won't be a dream to make money while lying down in the future..."
