After setting up the transaction, Richard went straight to rest.

He did not expect it to cause such a heated discussion.

At this stage, the novice lords undoubtedly lacked food the most.

Each lord had to support hundreds of people and more.

Once they opened their eyes, these residents would also open their mouths to eat and drink, which was difficult for most lords.

The game “Shining Era” was not a modern-day world where one could buy a few truckloads of rice just by going out.

The most direct way to obtain food was to hunt.

However, hunting was inevitably dangerous, and it could even endanger ones life.

It was a high-risk endeavor.

In these two days, it was already rare for 70% of the people to muster up the courage to explore this unfamiliar world.

And planting, even for seeds like the Russian olive that ripens once a month, required time.

Thus, most people lacked the means to obtain food, and could only barely maintain their territory.

A small number of people with outstanding abilities could not bear to sell too much of the food they obtained.

The small portion that could be used to sell was simply a drop in the bucket for the 20 billion in the [Trading Market].

There were even fewer who were as rich as Richard.

Under the heated discussions of countless people, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Richard woke up.

After Richard washed up, he went to the hall and ate breakfast with two extremely striking kitchen maids.

He slowly opened the [Forum Chat].

Two messages popped up in his private mailbox.

[Ding~ You have received a 1-star resource treasure — spring water fragment *1.]

[Ding~ The item you are looking for has been purchased.

You have obtained a 1-star resource treasure — spring water *1.]

After a cursory glance, Richard was certain that the Russian olive seed had been discovered…

Then, Richard felt that something was wrong, so he took another look.

He had obtained a 1-star resource treasure — spring water.

There was no suffix like a fragment…

“Someone directly used a treasure like spring water to exchange for 500 units of food!”

Richard laughed out loud.

This was a pure surprise!

Even an Ordinary 1-star treasure was worth at least 2,000 units of meat in Richards eyes.

He did not expect the seller to bargain 500 units.

Was he waiting for the rice to be cooked

This unexpected gain made Richard think seriously.

“Next, perhaps I can use the other lords early demand to exchange for more good things…”

“Now that Ive obtained the spring water fragments, there are two more water fragments.

“As long as I obtain another spring water fragment, Ill have two spring water fragment treasures in my hands.

The problem of Twilight Citys water consumption will be solved.”

This unexpected gain made Richard quite excited.

After thinking for a while, he asked the kitchen maid to call Karu over.

Not long after, Karu hurried into the hall.

“Good day, Lord.

What are your orders”

Richard smiled and took out the Russian olive seed and spring water fragment.

He then explained their functions.

After hearing this, Karu was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

“Is this the legendary divine gift!”

“Gods above, you must be the son of god sent by the gods to save us!!”

“Twilight City will surely become the pearl of the desert under your leadership!”

An acre of Russian olive seed ripens once a month.

This was immeasurable to Twilight City.

As an old man who had experienced countless storms, Karu had a lot of experience.

He knew that hunting could bring good profits, but the problem was that it was unstable.

And it was full of danger.

In comparison, the income from farming was extremely reliable.

Even if it took a long time to cultivate, it was completely worth it.

“Bring people to the surrounding areas to choose the Russian olive seed planting area.”

“Remember, in the future, Twilight City will expand very quickly.

The chosen area can not be too close, but it can not be too far either.

In case anything happens, we can deal with it in time.”

Karu nodded excitedly.

The wrinkles on his face seemed to have come to life.

“As you wish, I will immediately go down and make the arrangements!”

Not long after, the entire Twilight City was in an uproar because of the news that Karu had spread.

The Great Lord, under the blessing of the gods, had obtained a god-given item — an acre of Russian olive seeds.

Moreover, it was a miracle plant that matures once a month!

This news greatly boosted the morale of the residents who had just woken up, and one by one, they rushed to help Karu choose a suitable location.

Under the efforts of many residents, five potential locations were placed in front of Richard in less than an hour.

“Lord, these locations are plains and not far from Twilight City.

They are very suitable for planting the Russian olive seeds… Please, make your decision.”

Richard opened the rough map and compared it with the system map.

A moment later, Richard pointed at one of the points on the rough map on the table—the logging field—and tapped twice with his index finger.

“The Russian olive forest will be placed here.”

“This place is about 1.5 kilometers away from Twilight City.

The terrain is relatively even, and the rare-level desert bees are also around here.”

“Yes, Lord!”

Richard stood up.

“Call all the residents.

Lets go and plant the olive seeds.”

Karus wrinkled face relaxed a lot as if the crumpled paper had been smoothed out.

“Theyve been waiting for a long time!”

Richard took Karu out of the door and found that all the residents of the territory were truly there.

“Good day, Lord!”

“Lord…”

Seeing him appear, the residents in front of them all put their hands on their chests and bowed.

Richard nodded and walked directly toward the direction of the logging field under the protection of the bandaged mummy and the scorpion warrior.

When the residents saw the strong scorpion warrior, they had a heated discussion, and their respect for Richard rose again.

“Thats the newly recruited troop of Lord Richard, right Its too powerful…”

“That scorpion tail is thicker than the arrows of the siege ballista Ive seen…”

Everyone was bewildered.

In the dangerous desert, Richard was the ruler of Twilight City, the only ruler.

The stronger he was, the safer they would be.

Since Richards troop was strengthened, the residents were happy.

About 10 minutes later, the group arrived at the logging field.

At this time, a long-armed laborer was cutting wood.

When he saw Richard, he immediately put in more effort as if he had seen his boss inspecting him.

Richard ignored the long-armed laborer and went through the logging field to the other side.

The terrain of this area was even.

There were no obvious depressions or bulges.

It was suitable for the olive forest.

Moreover, the desert bees were only ten minutes away from here.

It would be convenient to move them over later.

“Wait here.”

Richard walked hundreds of meters forward alone.

Then, he slowly stopped under everyones gaze.

Richard bent down and buried the Russian olive seeds into the yellow sand.

He took out a pot of water from the system space and poured it onto the sand.

The sand was soaked by the water and immediately condensed into a dark color.

After pouring the pot of water, Richard put the pot back into the system space and turned around to walk toward the residents.

But the moment he took his first step…

The Russian olive seeds sprouted roots at a speed hundreds of times faster than the speed of a process video.

Green leaves grew out.

That patch of green became the starting point.

On the surrounding sand, dozens of tender buds sprouted at the same time.

Under the shocked gazes of the residents, with every step that Richard took, a patch of tender buds sprouted behind him.

This scene was like a miracle from the myths and legends.

At this moment, Richard was like a god who possessed the authority of life descending to the mortal world.

Every step Richard took nurtured hope and the future.

The yellow sand behind him was covered with green leaves.

The Russian olive seeds grew at an astonishing speed.

Under the special force, the yellow sand on the ground slowly condensed into lumps and turned into soil…

When Richard returned to the logging site, the Russian olive forest was already lush and green.

The residents looked at him with burning and fervent eyes.

At that moment, it was as if Richard was the incarnation of a god.

Richard turned his head to look at the Russian olive trees.

By now, they had grown to half the height of a man.

And they were growing at an extremely soaring speed.

The miracle of life in the desert…
