Chapter 113: Laura Has Returned
In the following three days, Zhao Hai stayed obediently at Rubble Mountain. Over these three days, combined with the half day before, Zhao Hai had harvested a total of eleven seasons of radishes, two seasons from six acres, and the remaining nine seasons from eight acres. He also gathered two magical peaches, but Zhao Hai did not plant more magical peaches since he didn't need to; four were already enough.
During these three days, Zhao Hai also harvested two seasons of nut oil. Now, he didn't worry about running out of radishes. He had enough radishes in his space to trade with Laura ten times.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai's warehouse still contained thirty thousand mature firefly fish. This amount was under Zhao Hai's control; otherwise, there would have been even more.
Additionally, the ranch had three hundred mature rabbits, a thousand baby rabbits, ten adult Scaly Horned Horses, and six hundred foals. All these were maintained under Zhao Hai's control, and if he didn't keep a check, the numbers would have been even larger.
Zhao Hai underestimated the reproductive capacity of a thousand animals that had undergone data conversion. With a thousand in the ranch reproducing every few hours, after more than seventy hours, the number would be horrifying.
However, Zhao Hai was no longer raising firefly fish. The reason there were only a few mature Scaly Horned Horses and Blue-eyed Rabbits during these days was that he had given the opportunity for maturity to the firefly fish.
Although there were only thirty thousand firefly fish now, this number was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the entire Ark Continent. However, for the firefly fish, it was not small at all. If he were to introduce these thirty thousand firefly fish into the continent all at once, it would create a sensation across the entire continent, as the annual yield of firefly fish on the continent was less than thirty thousand.
Zhao Hai understood that if all thirty thousand firefly fish were suddenly released into the Ark Continent's market, they would be finished. All the great nobles of the continent would come after them, and at that point, they might not even know how they died.
Now, Zhao Hai had collected three hundred Blue-eyed Rabbits. These three hundred rabbits had already given birth, and Zhao Hai had no plans to sell them; instead, he intended to keep them to treat the slaves to a hearty meal!
Meat, for those slaves, was a rare commodity. Not to mention the slaves themselves, their fathers and grandfathers might not have ever tasted meat.
Of course, this referred to those born into slavery—those whose ancestors had been slaves for generations—not slaves like Ju and An, who became slaves later; before they became slaves, they could still eat things like Long-haired Pigs and Blue-eyed Rabbits.
During these three days, Zhao Hai also spent quite a bit on feed, but these costs were nothing to him, as he could manage just with radish leaves.
Although Blue-eyed Rabbits were magical beasts, their meat did not exhibit the same effects as magical vegetable dishes. Zhao Hai and his group tried cooking rabbit meat, but it was not comparable. However, the meat from the Blue-eyed Rabbits in his space was different; not only did it taste good, but it also had abundant magical properties, which greatly benefited the training of magical energy and fighting spirit.
Firefly fish were even more beneficial; not only did they taste excellent, but their advantages surpassed those of Blue-eyed Rabbits, approaching that of some magical potions.
The Scaly Horned Horses also seemed to have changed; they were not only remarkably enduring but also very fast. If before they could only be used for carrying things, now they could almost serve as war horses.
All these changes were related to the space, which improved certain flaws in the animals, and everything produced in the space became akin to potent restorative items.
For Zhao Hai and his group, this was undoubtedly good news; the capability of the things produced in the space was beneficial for their future military establishment.
