Chapter 25 Planting
Looking at the remaining spiritual essence, Thor finally couldn't resist the temptation and decided to do a five-pull first.
In his eyes, this spiritual essence was just like money from his previous life—it couldn't be saved. Only by broadening his sources of income could he truly become rich.
When the 5 points of spiritual essence transformed into specks of starlight and were cast onto the outermost turntable, the neon-like lights flickered again, then suddenly froze after a moment.
"Congratulations on obtaining [Amber Stone], [Large Chunk of Rotten Flesh], [Land Coral Remains], [Poisonous Vines], and [Rusty Iron Greatsword]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No."
After reading the notification that appeared in his eyes, Thor's face, covered in red scales, darkened, and he silently chose to withdraw his winnings.
Shimmering circles appeared in the air, and several items then came into view.
A piece of amber, to put it simply, is a fist-sized piece of solidified resin containing an unfamiliar little insect. It is bright orange-red and might be worth some money if sold to humans.
As for the large chunks of rotten flesh, this thing clearly came from the Valley of Miasma. It is said that this kind of naturally decayed and matured meat is a rare delicacy after special processing.
Thor felt nauseous at the sight of it. Only those skull-faced creatures like the black dragons would like such rotten food. Without saying a word, he threw the thing out of the cave.
The land coral reef was a nearly one-meter-high, pinkish-purple coral reef that looked quite nice, but it was of little use to Thor.
True dragons have always favored gemstones, precious metals, and items imbued with magical energy, followed by artifacts with profound cultural significance; they have never heard of anyone collecting coral reefs.
Poisonous vine is a vine with dark green leaves and purple and black patterns on its surface. Its sap is extremely poisonous and is said to be the favorite of the poisonous bird.
Thor pondered that perhaps he could eat some to enhance his gas-spitting ability obtained from the gas frog template.
Finally, there was the rusty greatsword made of fine iron, nearly two meters long and wider than an adult's palm, making it a gigantic heavy sword. The surface of the blade was covered in rust, and the decorative patterns on the hilt and guard had long since decayed, but the entire blade remained straight and intact.
This item is probably the most valuable one among the items drawn this time.
Although true dragons rarely use weapons, and almost never need them, this greatsword can be used as raw material to reforge and arm their subordinates.
……
"What a loss! What a loss! I should have just exchanged it for Dragon Crystal, or even Burning Rock Carbon!"
Five consecutive failed attempts left Thor in a terrible mood.
He glanced at the huge spinning wheel in his mind and found a new prompt at the bottom.
"After drawing more than 10 times, you can specify a general type of item to increase the success rate of drawing that type of item."
Has this triggered the pity system for 10 pulls? But how wide a range of "approximate item types" is required?
After thinking for a moment, Thor silently recited "high-yield rice seeds" in his mind and tried to spin the wheel, but failed.
He then expanded the scope to "high-yield crop seeds," but there was still no response. It wasn't until he expanded the scope to "crop seeds" that a little essence was consumed, and the turntable started spinning with a rumble.
When the flashing light stopped, a corn cob was clearly drawn on the lit square.
Congratulations on receiving a small bag of corn! Do you wish to withdraw your funds immediately? Yes/No.
"Please note: Different environments and soils may cause unknown changes in crops, and repeated harvesting and planting may lead to atavism."
Thor selected "yes," and in a flash, a cloth bag the size of a football landed in his paws.
Untie the hemp rope tightly binding the cloth bag, and you can see that it is filled with golden, shiny corn kernels. These kernels are much smaller than ordinary corn kernels, about half the size of ordinary corn kernels.
It's the perfect time for planting, and the gentle slope near the lake has loose yet moist soil, making it a good plot of land.
Thor gripped the bag in his paws, spread his wings, and flew with a whoosh toward the boarman's camp.
After a winter's absence, not only were the number of his followers fewer, but they had also become extremely thin, having almost completely lost all their body fat.
Thor's appearance caught the boar-men somewhat off guard, but fortunately, the previous deterrent effect remained, and no major trouble ensued.
To Thor's surprise, the old boarman named Krogg also survived the winter.
This guy's vitality is really strong, which makes Thor look at it with new respect.
As the boar-men waited anxiously, Thor landed on the protruding rock, stood upright, and roared with his wings slightly spread.
"You stupid and filthy pigs, you can't even withstand that little bit of cold wind. As servants of the great Thor, you are a disgrace!"
Trash like you have no value in continuing to live; you should all be burned to ashes.
However, being merciful, I'll give you a chance. Now, turn this land over deeply, shake off all the soil, and pick out all the stones!
All the boar-men immediately sprang into action in a panic, running to the long rectangular square that Thor had drawn on the ground with a branch and digging frantically into the ground.
Wild boars are creatures that love to dig and wallow in the mud, so wild boar people are naturally good at hoeing.
Their tough skin is like a natural glove, and coupled with their strength and endurance that are greater than that of ordinary people, they don't work much slower even without tools.
However, simply knowing how to hoe the ground is not enough; it is only the most basic step in the entire planting process.
After that, there's ditching, ridging, soil disinfection, fertilization, pest and disease prevention, and praying for good weather. It's all much more difficult than hunting.
After all, in Saul's previous life in distant Africa, even in 2025, some black people were still relying on the weather for their livelihood.
This is not because their intelligence is lower than that of the boar people. One reason is the harsh environment and severe water shortage during the dry season; another reason is the lack of stable order.
It's quite possible that a black guy planted some seeds, and after more than half a year of careful tending, just when he was about to harvest, his good friend showed up at his door with an AK-47 and said that the land was his.
Or perhaps overnight, the unripe crops vanished without a trace, leaving only the footprints of the entire village in the fields.
Over time, the only option left is to give up and stagnate.
Thor didn't expect the boarmen to have a good harvest from these newly cultivated fields.
This has nothing to do with the wild boar people's planting techniques; it's simply because newly reclaimed land is not as good as mature land that has been cultivated for two or three years.
However, he also has his own secret weapon, which is dragon dung.
As magical creatures, dragons absorb most of the energy from the food they eat, but at the same time, the food also becomes imbued with the unique magic within the dragon's body.
It can be used not only as a pharmaceutical additive, in industrial forging, and as a material for alchemy, but also as a super fertilizer.
Next, Thor would mark out a spot at the foot of the mountain below the cave as his and his two baby dragons' private toilet.
The dragon dung produced daily is collected by the wild boar people and used as fertilizer in the cornfields.
