Chapter 251 The Idea of ​​Farming

Ice Marrow is a treasure that can only be condensed by an Iceborn mage through the "Ice Extraction" method, using the Iceborn bloodline to reconcile his own mana.

The condensation of every drop of ice marrow requires a lot of time and energy from an iceborn mage.

Similarly, for an Ice Mage, the more Ice Marrow the better, it can enhance one’s own Ice Origin bloodline, but it is not enough for one’s own use, so how can one easily give it to others?

Only under the premise that Duo'er Bianbu has such a life-saving benevolence and the leader of the Shimo tribe is pure in nature, Gothe can obtain 3 drops of precious ice marrow from his hand.

After that, Gothe had no idea if he wanted to obtain ice marrow again.

We need a "core product"!

Gaode couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

There are indeed many precious resources in the North, but how to obtain them is also a problem.

Only by being able to come up with something good that the people in the north can't refuse can they exchange for these precious resources.

It has been two months since I entered the Northern Territory. After these days of experience, Gothe thinks he has some understanding of the people in the Northern Territory.

On the permafrost tundra, there are actually only two real necessities: clothing and food.

Because these two are related to survival.

Clothing.Food.

When he really started to think seriously, something that Gaode valued but had neglected for a long time because of planting trees naturally emerged from the depths of his mind. Out:

A mutated cold-resistant barley species discovered together with the fourth-level magic plant Mandora's Tears.

Barley seeds, barley seeds, after planting, isn’t it just barley that is harvested?

And barley, isn’t it food?

Cold-resistant barley species, according to Flora's perception, need an environment of minus sixty degrees or lower to germinate and grow.

Elsewhere, such conditions are too harsh.

But in the north, places of minus 60 degrees can be seen everywhere.

Thinking about it like this, Gaode couldn't help but feel excited.

In a place like the North, if food can be grown, the significance of this goes without saying.

However... there is another point that is also very important, how to maintain your exclusive competitiveness?

After all, once the food is sold, other people can use it as seed and grow it themselves without having to buy it from him.

Doesn’t that make it a one-time deal?

This seemed to be a difficult problem, but after Gaode thought about it for a while, he immediately came up with an idea.

"Hybrid Seeds".

Use cold-resistant barley species as one of the parents and conduct cross-breeding with other parents to obtain a first-generation hybrid seed that is cold-resistant and high-yielding.

Grow this generation of hybrid seeds and sell only the grain grown in this batch.

Due to the genetic characteristics of seeds, seeds that have been cross-bred can only show excellent characteristics when planted in the first generation.

When they are saved and replanted, the offspring will experience separation of traits and will no longer be able to stably possess the excellent traits of the first generation seeds.

This ensures that even if others buy grain and save the seeds for second-generation planting, it will often be a waste of time.

At the moment, Gothe immediately exchanged his thoughts with the "tree planting expert" Flora.

“It’s very simple, Lady Flora can do it.” Upon hearing Gothe’s idea, Flora immediately patted her chest and assured.

For her, there is no difficulty in planting, no matter what she wants to plant or how she wants to plant it.

Because this is her natural ability and there is no need to learn it.

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to rely on Lady Flora." Gothe said hello to Flora in advance.

“Okay!”

Flora answered simply in a straightforward tone at first, and then she realized it later and became confused.

"What's the use of this?"

"This can make a lot of money."

"Money? A lot of money?!"

The little man's eyes are wet Liang, as if he suddenly found the value of life.

“Then let’s grow food now!”

"I'm afraid it won't work yet. We have to wait a little longer, Lady Flora."

"Why, mage, don't you want to make money?" "Of course you do, but you are not under the control of others now."


Gaode spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Oh~ Master, you were caught!" The little man then thought about it, and then frowned again.

"They are obviously not bad people."

In her perception, Loic and Catherine had no ill intentions towards Gothe, but if they were not bad people, why would they want to arrest the mage?

It’s so complicated!

Flora suddenly felt that the human world was too strange.

Here, Loic and Catherine's training finally came to an end.

As usual, the two of them should start to rest.

But today is different.

Catherine looked at Gothe for a while, then touched it from her arms, took out a finger-sized bottle, and threw it to Gothe.

Gaode quickly caught it and took a closer look. The bottle contained two drops of crystal clear, blue and clear drop-shaped gel.

"Is this?" He didn't understand what Catherine meant.

"I said before that you will be compensated after this matter is over. This is part of the compensation advanced to you in advance," Catherine said lightly: "I just noticed that you awakened the Mandora Magic Eye. These two drops of third-level ice essence You should be in great need.”

Du Wei is not the only one who is knowledgeable.

Mandola's Tears, as a fourth-level magic plant that can only appear in the snowy land, Catherine happens to have some understanding of, or should say, a deep understanding of.

She will naturally be able to recognize Mandora's magic eye, which has a small chance of awakening.

Hearing what Catherine said, Gothe was not polite and accepted the two drops of third-level ice marrow with peace of mind.

This is what he deserves.

I sent a message to Baruch with good intentions, but ended up in the current situation.

The Snowfield Guardian owes him a lot, so what does two drops of third-level ice marrow mean?

After this little episode, the two of them went back to resting as usual.

As soon as the two fell asleep, Gaode collected the ice marrow and quickly seized the time to use his magic power to trigger the forbidden ice needle and start today's adaptation.

In the following days, he was led by Catherine and Luo Qi to the Zhenbing Tribe.

Because of the detailed map guidance and the fact that both of them were strong, there were no accidents along the way.

Gaode maintains the rhythm of [Adaptive] at night and resting during the day, constantly changing quietly.

His body's cold tolerance, pain tolerance and recovery ability are growing every day. Every day that passes, Gaode feels as if he is being reborn:

Withstanding Zhen Bing of cold, your cold resistance increases by 157%——162%——173%——184%——189%——194%——198%——

Withstand the pain of extreme cold, and the ability to withstand pain increases by 86.2% - 87.3% - 88.9% - 93.5% - 94.6%.

Suffering from extreme cold injuries, your body's injury recovery ability increases by 39.3% - 45.6% - 51.2% - 56.9% - 57.3%.

The more the body's ability to recover from injuries is improved, the shorter the intermission period required for Gaode's recovery.

The shorter the recovery period, the longer his body can withstand the extreme cold.

Withstanding the extreme cold for a longer period of time, his body's cold resistance will increase faster.

The more the cold resistance is improved, the less frostbite he will suffer, and the interval will be further shortened.

Under such a virtuous cycle, Gaode's adaptation, especially the cold resistance, has improved rapidly, and is already infinitely close to the critical value of 200%.

However, at this point, the improvement of cold resistance finally slowed down.

But this is not because Zhen Bing's chill is not strong enough.

Purely because the Forbidden Ice Needles contain too little Ultimate Ice, and there are only five Forbidden Ice Needles in his body, so the strength is naturally not enough if the number is not increased.

Fortunately, it's just a slowdown, not a stagnation.

However, the pain tolerance and body recovery ability have indeed reached their upper limit.

The pain these five forbidden ice needles can bring now is like scratching an itch for Gaode.

Similarly, with his cold resistance improved to 198%, this level of Zhenbing is not enough to cause him enough irritating injuries.

At this time, they still had about five days to travel before reaching the Zhenbing Tribe.

This month is a bit special. The updates will be few and unstable. I can only code a little bit when I have time. However, normal and stable updates will be restored in November. I kneel down to my good brothers!
