Chapter 24: Large-scale Farm

Bick found all the necessary schematics in one go and planned to build them all in one go.

[Watchtower: Wooden board (6/6), grass rope (0/4), nails (0/4), metal sheet (4/4)]

[Flagpole: Wooden board (2/2), grass rope (0/2), metal sheet (1/1)]

[Ladder: Wooden board (3/3), straw rope (0/1), nails (0/2)]

The length of a ladder was one meter. In order to align with the height of the mast, Bick needed to build five ladders. In this way, he had to first build 11 straw ropes and 14 nails.

Of course, this was a piece of cake for Bick.

Soon, he made both straw ropes and nails. Then, a wooden ladder appeared on the mast. After the wooden ladder was installed one by one, Bick climbed to the height of the fourth ladder. He built a watchtower there.

The watchtower was about one square meter in size. It was spacious enough and had a metal edge. It was hard and strong.

In the last step, Bick made a one-meter-long flagpole and inserted it directly into the top of the mast. Then, he took out the pirate flag that he had stuffed into his backpack.

A skull flag was hung on the top of the flagpole. As the sea breeze blew, the pirate flag fluttered.

Bick didn’t care which direction it was moving in. He didn’t believe that there was anyone who was richer than him in this sea anyway.

After finishing all this, Bick stood on the observation deck and greeted Einstein below.

“Do you want to come up and see your new home?”

“Ou ou ou!”

Einstein let out a light cry and flapped his wings to fly up, landing directly on Bick’s shoulder.

Bick gently stroked Einstein’s feathers and stood on the towering observation deck, blowing on the sea breeze. “Einstein, you’ll live here from now on. I’ll spread some hay on the observation deck later.”

Einstein nodded, his eyes filled with excitement.

Seeing that he was so happy, Bick was relieved. At first, he was worried that Einstein did not like this place.

Next, Bick laid a thick layer of hay on Einstein’s new home and returned to the wooden raft floor.

Now that Einstein had a comfortable bird’s nest, he himself did not have to be too shabby.

“I need a large wooden bed, those with a double bed!”

Bick had always felt that sleeping on a large bed was more comfortable. Hence, he directly found the manufacturing principles of a large wooden bed and a grass mat for two in the principle interface of the God’s domain slate.

[Large wooden bed for two: Wooden board (6/6), nails (0/2), metal sheet (2/2)]

[Grass mat for two: Grass rope (0/20)]

Bick looked at the materials and found that they did not consume much material, so he started to make them.

After a while, a wooden double bed appeared at the middle and back of the raft. Then, in less than ten minutes, a layer of straw mat was placed on the double bed.

He pressed it with his hand. Although the straw mat was not that soft, the effect was much better than he imagined. If he could weave cloth in the future, he would definitely make a soft spring mattress.

As for now… he believed that he was lucky enough to be able to sleep in a double bed in this apocalypse.

Bick busied himself for a while. By the time these things were all made, the sky had already turned from dark to bright.

Without noticing, he actually busied himself all night and stayed up all night.

Perhaps it was because the expansion of his new home made him too excited, so Bick did not feel tired at all and simply did not rest.

He inspected the raft and watered the miniature farm. To his surprise, the first banana tree that was planted had already started to produce bananas.

He clearly remembered that the miniature farm’s growth cycle was seven days, and it would take half a month for it to mature. Based on this time, it was impossible for the banana tree to produce bananas.

It seemed that the nourishing watering bottle was really effective. It actually allowed the banana to mature earlier, and it had already begun to produce bananas.

Although the banana, which was not as thick as a finger, was still greenish, Bick believed that it would ripen in a few days.

Looking at the strawberries and carrots that had been planted previously, their branches and leaves were already very luxuriant. However, because they were planted a little later than the banana tree saplings, they had yet to bear fruit.

Although the planting speed was very fast, he still needed to build a few more miniature farms in order to keep the food supply going.

Wait!

Bick suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a large-scale farm in the stone tablet’s interface.

His raft was too small before, and he did not have enough supplies. Now that he had so many supplies, he might as well just build a large-scale farm.

Bick checked the construction principles of the large-scale farm. It did not matter if he did not look at it. When he saw it, he almost laughed out loud in joy.

[Large-scale farm: Wooden planks (6/6), iron nails (0/6), nourishing watering bottle (1/1), micro-scale farm (3/3)]

[Level: high quality]

[Explanation: The large-scale farm has six planting areas and it has an automatic watering function. As long as it is filled with fresh water, it can be automatically watered. There is no need to take care of it.]

He did not expect that the construction materials of the large-scale farm were actually synthesized from three miniature farms, a watering bottle, and some ordinary materials.

Wasn’t this too convenient? He only needed to make six nails.

Moreover, the large-scale farm could double the planting area, and at the same time, it had an automatic watering function. This was really too considerate!

Bick immediately made six iron nails and began to make large-scale farms.

After a while, the three miniature farms turned into a pile of soil, but the banana trees, strawberries, and carrots planted on them were not affected. Only their planting position had changed.

After a while, a neat fence surrounded the soil. And in the middle of the fence, there was actually a water storage tank.

Bick quickly took out the plastic jar and poured in the fresh water.

The water storage tank was filled with fresh water, and the surrounding soil became wet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“This thing is really useful!”

Bick rubbed his hands in excitement. According to the consumption, he only needed to store water once every two or three days. He didn’t need to care about the rest of the things.

Previously, watering every day took up his brain capacity. He was afraid that he would forget to water and affect the growth of the plants.

Now, he didn’t need to worry. He just needed to check if there was water in the cistern once in a while.

Moreover, since the large-scale farm had been built, he might as well go and get some seeds. He still had three plots of land to plant!

Thinking of this, Bick took out the material divination compass from his backpack. He believed that there were probably some plant seeds on this island.
