Chapter 85: Chapter 82: Everything Can Be Farmed
Jiu Yue: "Aside from everything else, just take the Huge Hoofed Deer that everyone's frantically hunting right now. The bones of these beasts are an important raw material for producing phosphatic fertilizer and various chemical products.
The hooves and antlers can be used as basic materials for some hands-on crafts, and the fur can be turned into cushions, bedding, dusters, and decorative items.
Even those incomplete furs can be used to produce gelatin, which has a certain market in the Royal Capital.
From what I've gathered, it seems like nobody in the Underworld Gate cares much about this kind of base waste material, and the prices are incredibly low. Is anyone planning to get into this business?"
Military God of Heaven's Wings: "Wow, just wow! Sis, what do you do for a living in the real world? How come you're still hustling in the game?"
Jiu Yue: "I have no choice. Being broke limits ambition, and this game's demand for money will clearly grow as we progress.
Right now, the reason there isn't much demand is mainly because we haven't become professionals. Have you seen those bosses on the forums who have managed to switch jobs successfully? What's their situation now?
They're so broke they have to do brick moving work at the river port outside of Titan Town."
Military God of Heaven's Wings: "No way, that's just too sad! They always seem so calm and collected on the forums, acting like everything's easy as long as you have hands!"
Nai Feitian: "When I'm not being calm and collected, I wouldn't let you know about it."
And there it was, someone came out revealing their shortcomings amidst the conversation.
But clearly, the topic brought up by Jiu Yue had caught the attention of many players. Such interesting matters—attracting screwball players to participate—how could they not?
Jiu Yue thought for a bit and decided to share her general thoughts with them:
"If we're really going to do this, we'll have to choose a factory site in advance and communicate with the Lord Mansion to see if we can build a small workshop in an area that's high and dry, with plenty of water sources, and some distance from the towns.
We need a boiler room and workshops dedicated to steaming, washing, breaking, drying, and crushing bones. However, getting these kinds of equipment semi-automated will likely involve some materials related to Mages.
If the costs turn out to be too high when we start, that would be problematic, and I haven't figured out how to deal with this yet."
At this point, Qing Ya past the Cold Pools jumped in, saying, "What's the problem? I need to farm Skill Experience Points recently, so I can offer my services at low labor costs to provide the Fatal Strike skill for crushing bones. Don't worry, the price is very low, just a token."
Sister Xiao Yu: "Eh, Xiao Ya, aren't you doing Dungeon tasks anymore?"
Qing Ya past the Cold Pools: "No more, those tasks are basically done over there. When the official launch happens, I want to switch up my playstyle. I'm already sick of hunting deer all this time.
Plus, the club has already decided to transition to strategizing for a new game, and I need to try out new gameplay and development models."
Military God of Heaven's Wings: "Actually, if you all can wait a bit, the series of Bone Shredders, shredders, bone steamers, and cleaners Jiu Yue mentioned can be pretty easy to handle.
Titan Town has basic metal smelting technology and it's not troublesome to make, requiring no high precision.
Concentrating, bleaching, and condensing equipment can be made using traditional methods; there's no need for semi-industrialization, we don't have those conditions.
Let's forget about safety equipment since we players can't die anyway."
Sister Xiao Yu: "Gosh, we've really got some talent in our group! With that said, you guys could try asking Brother Kael, because if we're just making products and want to handle production and sales all-in-one, we inevitably have to go through them."
Nai Feitian: "Aside from your trio of players, no one else has managed to leave the Lancaster Territory, right?"
Sister Xiao Yu: "True, there likely isn't anyone else."
Want to Eat Ice Pops: "How big is this game's map, anyway? Kael is just a Baron, yet his territory is so vast that players can't even traverse it all."
Coconut Juice with Green Tea: "Don't talk about it; don't talk about it; don't talk about it; it just makes my heart ache! I'm so embarrassed it's all over the public chat."
Coconut Juice with Green Tea whimpered.
By now, even bystanders online knew that there was this fool in the game who got lost in the forest for fifteen days, ate a bunch of terrible stuff, and even unlocked a new achievement.
People have started to call him Lord Bei instead of his nickname.
"Talk about playing coy after scoring a deal! There are many people who want achievements and can't get them!"
"You say that, but it still must be pretty embarrassing!"
"Damn it, this is a game group, a game group! What are you guys discussing if not the game? You're neither driving nor sharing risque pictures—are you waiting for love or what?"
"But I really just want to play games now!"
"Without the portal to the netherworld to play, I'm gonna die!"
"Jokes aside, guys, don't you think seeing Sister Xiao Yu should remind us of something important to do?"
"Hug a big leg?"
"Of course, it's to appreciate the different races' styles in this game! Sister Xiao Yu, hurry and post the racy—oops, I mean the race illustrations so we can all take a look!"
...
As the chat group started to become chaotic, Xiao Yu didn't respond for a long time and just slowly typed out an ellipsis.
Xiao Yu: "..."
"Sister Xiao Yu, don't stay silent!"
Xiao Yu, feeling helpless, could only tell everyone the truth: "It's not that I don't want to post, but I just realized something. If you guys report me, I might get banned for a few days.
For the safety of my account, I thought about it and decided not to post them directly."
Braised Donut: "Is it that risqué, Sister Xiao Yu? I have a friend..."
Xiao Yu: "Is that 'friend' actually you?"
Upon hearing this, Braised Donut immediately changed his tune: "I'll be honest, I'm craving the body of a monster girl."
Jiu Yue: "We agreed to discuss how to set up factories, get out of poverty and strive for prosperity. How did our conversation end up on racy pictures again?"
Nai Feitian: "Just tell me if you're going to look or not."
Jiu Yue: "Look, look, look, of course I'll look! If we don't, wouldn't we be letting down Sister Xiao Yu's kind intentions?"
Military God's Heaven's Wings: "Didn't someone go exploring in the swampy areas of Lancaster on the forum before and ran into problems because of poisoning?"
Xiao Yu: "I vaguely remember, what about it?"
Military God's Heaven's Wings: "@Jiu Yue, please, you've started using bones to produce stuff. Haven't you thought that bone carbon might be the byproduct in this industrial chain?
After degreasing the miscellaneous bones and adding an extra step, burning the waste in fire, we can make activated carbon. With activated carbon, we can create some simple anti-poison tools.
Then we could sell them to other players so they can explore the swamps more safely, without getting poisoned so easily. Who knows, they might even open up a new area for farming."
For a moment, players in the group had a hard time responding.
Is this what they call racial talent of our own people?
We came to play the game, so why did it turn into farming again?
Hm? Why again?
Military God's Heaven's Wings: "Everything can be turned into farming; when has the netherworld's gate ever stopped us from doing so?
But beyond that, I'm more interested in some even more intriguing industrial systems. Things I can't do in real life but who says I can't try them out in the game?"
Braised Donut: "Hold up, dude, what do you mean by 'doing' exactly?"
Donut was quick to spot the vital point.
"What else could I be referring to? Obviously things like metal smelting, forging cold weapons, compound bows, firearms! Basically, it's a case of firepower deficiency phobia; what did you think?"
