Richard laughed when he saw the notification.
Divide the hive?
He didn’t expect to divide the hive so soon.
He was very interested in the little ones that could make delicious delicacies on earth.
The future of Twilight City’s wealth depended primarily on them.
!!
After the hive is divided and the olive flowers bloom, the reproduction rate must be extremely swift.
Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before the amount of honey produced would be able to keep up with the hive.
Three hives of honeybees could produce 30 units of honey per week.
If it continued to be cultivated, it might be able to develop into a pillar industry of honey in Twilight City in the future.
That wasn’t right. Since the system notification said that it was extremely precious, then it definitely wouldn’t be so easy to expand.
It was very likely that after the hive split, there would be a period of development…
Richard shook his head. To divide the hive was always good, no matter what happened in the future.
Desert Crown Honey, such delicious honey, sold for 10,000 units per jar…
No… 100,000 units of resources were not too much, correct?
Even if it were 10,000 units of resources per jar. If it could produce 30 jars per week, it would be 300,000 units of resources for nothing.
It was simply superb.
Now, they would have to see if Onyx, a Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce member, could use those two jars of honey to open up the market in Solan City.
How about selling it to other players…? Those sand sculptures were getting increasingly poor. Who would spend 10,000 units of resources to buy a jar of honey?
Wouldn’t it be nice to buy a few elite-level soldiers with this money?
‘Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!’
Just as his thoughts drifted, the sound of fear came from the bees that had quietly flown.
‘Whoosh!’
Richard looked up and saw two 7 to 8 centimeters long poisonous wasps as they flapped their wings and descended.
When Richard saw these wasps kill two bees and fly away, his heart burned with anger.
He had to think of a way to get rid of these rare wasps.
He couldn’t fool around for half a day and be bullied by a few wasps.
He was downhearted. He couldn’t help the pathetic bees.
When the time came, he would surely deep-fry them. Bee pupae were an excellent dish…
With anger in his heart, his brows were tightly furrowed when he left the olive forest. The few residents didn’t dare to speak.
Richard didn’t stay long. From the olive forest, he arrived at the fire dragon rabbit base a few hundred meters away.
At this time, the hollow sand was already surrounded by two meters wide purple vines and thorns.
More than ten gnomes at the periphery hammered wooden posts to build another fence to prevent accidents.
Richard heard Green Tooth’s voice as soon as he approached.
The thin gnome held his head high, puffed out his chest, and commanded the others.
“Strike harder! The great lord told me to take care of the fire dragon rabbit. This wall is the second safeguard!
“Next, we need to build a third, fourth, and fifth safety measure…”
“Strong Lord Green Tooth, how is my wooden stake?”
“It’s not bad. You can eat an extra piece of meat tonight.”
“Strong Lord Green Tooth, you honestly are a tolerant and benevolent leader, praise you…”
“Strong Lord Green Tooth, do you see how my nails are hammered?”
“It’s typical. It is a bit crooked.”
“Strong Lord Green Tooth, your eyes are sharper than a falcon!”
“Strong Lord Green Tooth, what do you think of this purple vine and thorn I planted?”
“Too bad, pull them out and plant them again!”
“Strong Lord Green Tooth, your voice is as strong as thunder, too powerful…”
Richard was wonder-stricken with the following regard.
At first, it was fine,but the corner of his mouth twitched after he heard that.
‘Are these green gnomes f*cking brainless?
‘Strong Lord Green Tooth, with your toothpick body, a blow of your nose could break your ribs.
‘Can’t the other gnomes have a little more shame when they flatter? How could they say such stupid words…?’
Gnomes were genuinely unique creatures.
Green Tooth, who had enjoyed a rainbow fart, suddenly saw Richard.
His entire body shook, then he straightened his body and roared angrily.
“Everyone, gather! The great and merciful Lord has descended!”
The other desert gnomes immediately put down the tools in their hands and ran in front of Richard. They stood in a long line with their chests out.
Then, Green Tooth shouted.
“Salute to the great Lord!”
After that, they put their hands on their chests and bowed. “Good day, great Lord!”
The other gnomes also immediately bowed together and shouted.
“Good day, great Lord!”
When Richard saw this scene, his expression instantly became stiff.
They were all so familiar.
‘Had they rehearsed before, correct?’
Richard weakly waved his hand.
“Stand up.”
“Thank you, Lord!” After Green Tooth took the lead to shout, the other gnomes also shouted.
When Richard saw that these green goblins still seemed to have a show, he couldn’t stand it anymore and directly interrupted.
“Stop talking nonsense. In the future, abolish these rules for me!”
“Green Tooth stays behind. The rest of you, go do your work.”
Green Tooth, who waited to be complimented, immediately felt a bolt from the blue. He was starkly dumbfounded.
The great Lord honestly didn’t like the greeting ceremony he had prepared after he consulted humans… …And Green Tooth still had many things to perform, although he didn’t remember.
After the other gnomes left, Richard scolded the lazy fellow a few times before turning to business.
“How are the fire dragon rabbits these few days?”
Green Tooth immediately revived in full blood when he answered this question.
He quickly said, “Lord, after the purple vines and thorns surrounded the perimeter, the fire dragon rabbits have already started to build nests on the dragon leaves. Their injuries have all recovered…
“These few days, those small fire dragon rabbits have also grown very healthy.”
Richard nodded.
“Last time, you said that the fire dragon rabbits shed their fur automatically? How often do they shed?”
“One month!” Green Tooth patted his chest and said confidently, “I have carefully observed it!”
“The fire dragon rabbits absorb a large amount of solar energy every day. That energy is stored in their fur, which causes their fur to grow very fast.
“They often shed their fur in less than a month. The fire dragon rabbits grow new rabbit fur to consume the excess energy in their bodies.”
Richard’s expression changed.
When this gnome was not stupid, it was still quite clever. When its brain was not working, it was still quite typical.
“Is there a big difference between the shed rabbit fur and the rabbit fur plucked from their bodies?”
“My Lord, the shed rabbit hair is equivalent to a ripe fruit on a tree. The rabbit hair plucked from their bodies is equivalent to a green fruit. The quality of the shed rabbit hair is the best!
“It’s just that most people like to peel off the rabbit skin. It looks better this way.”
Richard was a little surprised. He didn’t expect there to be such a secret.
“How do we collect the scattered rabbit fur?”
“There’s no need to collect it. The fire dragon rabbit will take the fallen rabbit fur to build a nest. We only need to go to their monthly nests to take out the rabbit fur.”
‘Good heavens, an automatic hair collector?’
Richard thought for a moment and suddenly realized that these fire dragon rabbits were indeed easy to raise.
It would be fine if they were locked up and not fed.
Moreover, not only did they not need to feed the rabbits, but they would also take the initiative to collect the shed rabbit fur, saving even manual labor.
This was simply the ultimate blessing for lazy people.
“In this world, there is no more worry-free breeding, right?
The only thing to worry about is not feeding these rabbits… The capitalists will when they see this.”
