Change of Mental State

Chapter 13: Change of Mental State

Zhao Hai looked at the appearances of the two people and was speechless. It seemed that the two were not as foolish as they appeared. They were unexpectedly afraid that he was deceiving them. It seemed that he could only take them to the Space, but that was also fine. Sooner or later, they would have to know about the Space, so he might as well take them along.

Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "Alright, put down your swords. Aren't you sinking? Be prepared, we're going." As he finished speaking, he activated his spell, and in an instant, the three of them disappeared from their original location, only to reappear in the Spatial Farm the next moment.

Blockhead and Stonehead stared blankly at the Spatial Farm. They saw the radishes that had already grown, as well as the thatched huts and the pile of things that were placed there before.

Zhao Hai looked at the two, who were still holding their swords, and patted their shoulders, saying, "Put down your swords. Haven't we arrived at the place?"

Blockhead and Stonehead snapped back to their senses and actually put down their swords. They didn't dare to disobey Zhao Hai's words. Now they felt that whatever Zhao Hai said was like an imperial decree, and they had no choice but to follow it faithfully.

Zhao Hai also noticed the change in their attitudes. It seemed that they now regarded him as their master, surpassing even Green in their minds. Zhao Hai was surprised by this, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He carefully observed the growth of the radishes and the items in the room. Nothing seemed to have changed. He only had 200 gold coins left, and he remembered from his gaming experience that the weeds and insects in the game would automatically respawn and harm the crops. These were two distinct enemies of crop growth.

It was fortunate that there were no weeds or insects present at the moment. This was the reason why Zhao Hai had come here to take a look. Although the Farm would give him prompts when the radishes were ready to harvest, he didn't know when the weeds and insects would appear. The Farm didn't provide any prompts for that.

The radishes now represented money, but if he wanted to do well here, simply making money wouldn't be enough. He needed a lot of money. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Blockhead and Stonehead continued to follow Zhao Hai as they always did, but their mental state had clearly changed. Before, they had only listened to Green, but now, Green was far less important than Zhao Hai. They now regarded everything Zhao Hai said as the highest authority.

Zhao Hai was unaware that the Space was a variant Space, and everything in it belonged to him. Once his level was high enough, the Space would become completely his own. Because the Space belonged entirely to him, anything he brought into the Space would recognize him as its master. His orders would be absolute. In this Space, he would be like a god. That was why Blockhead and Stonehead had such thoughts.

At this moment, Zhao Hai didn't realize this. He continued to inspect the Space, looking for any changes. However, everything remained the same. Although he had gained a level, he hadn't obtained anything else besides the seeds.

But Zhao Hai wasn't discouraged. Although he didn't have much gold left, he could still plant radishes. If he couldn't get any from the farm, he would buy some to plant with the remaining money. It wasn't that he didn't consider other crops, but his understanding of the vegetables in this world was limited. He was still in the early stages of accumulating resources, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Radishes were easy to find in this world, so planting them would be the safest choice. Zhao Hai didn't want to make any wrong moves. If he accumulated a pile of crops that he couldn't sell, it would affect his funds. This was not the right time for that.

Radishes could be sold easily in this world, so planting them would be the best option for now. Zhao Hai understood that his choices were not just about himself; he had inherited the responsibility of Adam Buda and the entire Buda Family. That's why he wanted to proceed steadily, focusing on cultivating quietly and avoiding any missteps that would reveal their intentions. If someone discovered their true intentions, they might not even survive.

After confirming that there were no changes in the Space, Zhao Hai nodded and stood up. He turned to Blockhead and Stonehead and said, "Alright, there's nothing else here. Let's go out."

Blockhead and Stonehead followed Zhao Hai without opposing him. They couldn't help but say, "Yes, Young Master." This surprised Zhao Hai because it was the first time they had spoken after following him. He looked at the two of them curiously, but didn't notice anything different. With a thought, he left the Spatial Farm with the two and returned to his room.

Upon entering the room, Zhao Hai looked around and saw that the door was closed and no one had entered. He relaxed and turned to Blockhead and Stonehead, saying, "Let's go outside the castle and take a look. I want to see the Black Soil and the moat. We need to transform the moat and breed fish there." As he spoke, he led the two of them out.

Blockhead and Stonehead would have previously tried to stop him because Green had forbidden Zhao Hai from leaving the castle. However, they didn't say anything now and silently followed behind Zhao Hai.

When the three of them arrived at the castle's square, Zhao Hai collected the items in the rooms and stored them in the Space, using his divine sense to search for things in the Space. He discovered that many items were already in the Space Warehouse, properly organized and displayed, along with the corresponding quantities. This made Zhao Hai very happy.

He realized that he didn't need the Farm Space to control everything. Whenever he wanted to find something in the Space, it would appear in front of him as a projection, although Blockhead and Stonehead couldn't see it. This made things much more convenient.

The three of them slowly left the castle, and the main entrance opened. Merine and Meg were watching as the slaves reorganized the abandoned mine tunnels.

The slaves were not idling around; Zhao Hai had given them a purpose. As long as they worked hard, they would eventually be freed from their slavery. This was their biggest motivation.

Merine and Meg noticed that the slaves were particularly motivated that day. Each one seemed to have an inexhaustible energy, and what used to take an hour to complete could now be done in just half an hour.

Zhao Hai didn't go over to look since he didn't trust many people at the moment. However, he had complete faith in Merine and Meg. Since he trusted them, there was no need to personally inspect the work. Now, he wanted to see the Black Soil and determine if Space could transform it. If the Black Soil could be transformed, he would have more options for cultivation, water conservation, and crop planning.

Farming seemed simple, but it was actually quite difficult. Although Zhao Hai hadn't farmed before, he had some understanding of it from observing others and reading historical books. Agriculture was always valued in every generation of Chinese emperors, and he had a basic understanding of the difficulties involved. Yet, his territory had no water conservation facilities at the moment.

It was strange that the Black Soil here hadn't turned into desertification after all these years. Zhao Hai had expected it to be unsuitable for planting. However, when he touched the Black Soil, he was surprised to find that it felt like a substance called "grinding compound" that he had encountered before. This made him concerned because if it was truly grinding compound, then he wouldn't be able to grow anything. Zhao Hai told Blockhead to dig up some Black Soil to bring back for further research.

After obtaining the Black Soil, Zhao Hai looked at the vast expanse of land and couldn't help but sigh. It was a shame that he couldn't cultivate such a large area. He hoped that the Water of Space and Earth of Space could transform the soil here. Otherwise, their progress would be slow, and their secret might be exposed to the world, which would lead to the downfall of the Buda Family.
