Chapter 749: The Use of Magical Backgrounds
When Zhao Hai heard Cai'er say this, he began to understand what she meant. Back when he was on Earth, he had read many fantasy novels, and he naturally knew that some very ordinary things could become extraordinary treasures in magical stories, especially in unique environments.
Although he had brought many plants from the Ark Continent into his space, none were particularly remarkable. The legendary treasures of the Ark Continent were still few in his space.
Now, to concoct some potions, the main ingredients still consisted of ginseng and He Shou Wu from Earth. This was precisely why it took so long for the space to prepare a Divine-Level Potion.
Just now, the space had indicated that he could purchase magical backgrounds, which meant he could buy some special environments, like a volcano. Because it was a background, it might possess intense heat yet would never erupt. In such a place, planting certain medicinal herbs would slowly allow them to be infused with fire energy, ultimately mutating into extraordinary treasures. This was a great opportunity for both the space and Zhao Hai.
Moreover, these backgrounds could also be used to cultivate magical beasts. For instance, if one were to place a snake in a place like the Corpse Swamp, it might slowly mutate into a highly toxic viper.
Previously, there hadn't been such environments in the space, but now he could buy backgrounds with such capabilities. This would allow for the cultivation of various flora and fauna, meaning there would be more medicinal materials available for future use, potentially more magical beasts, and an increase in usable potions. The benefits were not just a few unique environmental backgrounds.
Thinking of this made Zhao Hai burst into laughter. He embraced Cai'er and gave her a kiss on her smooth little face before releasing her, still chuckling.
Cai'er’s face turned red from the kiss, and feeling shy, she hid behind Laura and the others. Although Laura and the others didn’t quite understand why Zhao Hai was so happy, they felt joy seeing him laugh, and everyone smiled at him.
After a while, Zhao Hai calmed down and turned to Cai'er, “Cai'er, how expensive are these magical backgrounds? If they aren’t too costly, buy ten of them right away. Make sure they’re special environments, suitable for cultivating magical beasts and growing medicinal herbs.”
Cai'er’s face was still a bit flushed, but upon hearing Zhao Hai’s instructions, she immediately replied, “Young master, don’t worry. These backgrounds aren’t very expensive, and our space has plenty of gold coins. I will handle it.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “That’s good. I’ll leave this matter to you. With these backgrounds allowing ordinary medicinal materials to mutate, wouldn't it be easier for us to create Divine-Level Potions?”
Cai'er nodded, “Yes, young master. As long as we use these backgrounds to create certain animals and plants, it will speed up our process in making Divine-Level Potions.”
Zhao Hai then frowned, “However, these backgrounds can’t shorten the growth time of plants like the red soil here; that’s a bit troublesome.”
Cai'er smiled, “Not at all, young master. The space has already reached level seventy. You can transform red soil into black soil, which increases yield and accelerates maturity time. In those backgrounds, you can designate specific areas to speed up plant maturity; the total area should not exceed one percent of the background's total land.”
Zhao Hai was overjoyed, “Great! Let’s leave this planning to you. I don’t want to handle it. But it seems like this all requires money. Cai'er, keep an eye on it. If we run out of cash, you can buy unnecessary items from the space to convert into cash. Upgrades are our priority; everything else is secondary.”
Cai'er responded sweetly, and Zhao Hai was completely correct in entrusting her with this task. Since Cai'er had merged with the space, she knew even the tiniest changes within it. This allowed her to better utilize the space, and with the speed of calculations regarding mutations, what Cai'er planned wouldn’t be inferior to anyone else’s.
