Astral Cockroach

Advancing from a high-level warrior, an L3 evolving to an L4, is a small bottleneck breakthrough, with a bit of difficulty. Banbu can undergo molting and evolution every six months.

Unexpectedly, the sleep time was still as long as 5 days.

After waking up, he felt weak and listless, his mind muddled.

Banbu estimated that this was because he had been eating solely primal force food that enhanced elemental abilities, neglecting the strengthening of his basic physique.

However, as long as there were primal stones, this was a minor issue that could be remedied later.

This time, Hongdao guarded him outside during his slumber.

Bai Zhu was also responsible for vigilance. This guy's primal force food was always snatched by other bamboo rat warriors. Since arriving at Lizhu Peak, he had only evolved once and couldn't withstand high-intensity physical labor. Banbu deliberately arranged for him to rest for a few days before he fell asleep.

Banbu spat out the life seed he had nurtured, collected it, and then incorporated a Red Iron Tree seed into his life sac to nurture.

Seeing this, Hongdao's antennae immediately stood upright and asked, "Banbu, do you have any more Red Iron Tree seeds?"

This guy always wants good things!

"There aren't any more. You can't nurture such large-grained seeds right now anyway," Banbu said unhappily. "Hongdao, you should use bamboo seeds as your life seed first. Currently, the best bamboo seed on Lizhu Peak is Emerald Bamboo. Just use that for now. When you grow into a mid-level warrior in your fourth year, I'll help you get a few Red Iron Tree seeds."

"Oh," Hongdao responded, then asked, "Banbu, can you have Bai Zhu help me dig a paddy field at the foot of the mountain?"

Banbu didn't answer directly. He took a piece of dried meat, ate it while pondering. After a long while, he stood up and said, "Hongdao, you are about to advance to a mid-level warrior, you should learn to survive independently. I don't object to your liking rice, but you can't open up rice paddies on a large scale in my bamboo forest."

"How about this, I'll dig a river and a pond for you on the north side of Lizhu Peak, in the Iron Saber Mountain Range territory, and open up a few rice paddies for you to manage yourself in the future."

"Really?" Hongdao exclaimed in surprise, "That's great! Banbu, thank you!"

Banbu shook his antennae and said, "Hongdao, you've seen the annual drought season. There are very few places on the entire Myriad Races Continent suitable for large-scale rice cultivation. For your next life seed selection, bamboo, Red Iron Tree, Iron Saber Tree, Banyan Tree, Rose Myrtle Tree, Cypress Tree, or other plant seeds are all fine, except for rice, unless you cultivate a particularly outstanding rice seed, understand?"

"Understood…" Hongdao's excitement quickly cooled down.

… …

Bamboo rat warriors are skilled at digging through soil and rocks with their sharp claws, they are born to do civil engineering work.

Banbu went down the mountain to inspect and found that Water Pond No. 6 had been dug. They were currently cutting stone strips on the mountain, waiting for Banbu to complete his molting and evolution, to come and guide them on how to dig the canals and then build the stone strips to reinforce them.

Three days later, the sixth water pond was built.

Banbu then led them to the north side of Lizhu Peak, within the Iron Saber Mountain Range, to build water ponds at higher elevations, dig diversion ditches, and open up rice paddies.

The Iron Saber Mountain Range is mainly flat forest, and there happens to be a river flowing southeast along the trend of the Jinping Mountain Range, merging into the Jin River at the southeast end of the mountain range.

The distance is only about 3 kilometers.

Banbu also planned to dig a small ditch one meter wide and 0.5 meters deep to guide the water flow, the purpose of which is to drain the rice paddies during the rainy season. During the summer rainstorms, the ditch will naturally expand into a small river, and at that time, Flame Cluster Thatch, which bamboo rat warriors like to eat, can be planted on both sides.

The rice paddies on the north side of Lizhu Peak are used for breeding.

Ten rice paddies with sides of about 5 meters are still opened up on the south side of Lizhu Peak, scattered and distributed, for the purpose of sowing Hongdao's existing 4 life seeds, as well as the Cattail God-given Seed. In addition, Banbu is also very interested in rice, so he left 5 rice paddies for some particularly important rice hybridization experiments.

All planned projects were completed before the spring rainy season.

Rainy weather is not suitable for going out to work.

The bamboo rat warriors huddled in the cave and continued to practice their martial skills diligently.

Big Head stayed alone at the foot of the mountain, helping Hongdao guard the life seeds.

As the temperature warmed up, many plants bloomed one after another, and Big Head and Cattail became active.

Big Head commanded the worker ants to help Banbu manage the territory, he was very busy. As Banbu advanced to an L4 high-level warrior, the Purple-Gold God-given Seed spawned 6561 tillers in one go.

One biogas digester was not enough, so Banbu successively opened up the second and third biogas digesters, specially to supply the nutrient needs of the Purple-Gold God-given Seed.

Cattail commanded the bee colony to collect nectar at the foot of the mountain, which is the staple food of sour bees. If there is not enough food, some sweet fruits can also be collected in summer to brew honey, but of course, the nutritional aspect will be slightly inferior.

Banbu rarely had free time, he stayed in his cave all day, continuing to deduce and upgrade his cultivation method.

Various bamboo life seeds are taking shape, and they can provide a considerable amount of primal force every day. As the bamboo life seeds grow year by year, and other life seed plants grow, they will provide more ordinary primal force in the future, which is an income that cannot be ignored.

Ordinary primal force, when absorbed into the body, can only strengthen the basic physique. As strength increases, the strengthening effect will become worse and worse. According to the experience of being human, ordinary primal force will lose its strengthening effect after advancing to Monarch.

Only by improving the cultivation method and then deducing genetic martial skills can the vast primal force fed back by the bamboo seeds be effectively utilized.

It's very troublesome.

After advancing to a high-level warrior, the body's bloodline and heart structure became complicated, and the difficulty of upgrading the cultivation method increased several times. Banbu felt that his brain was not enough. Using the method of drawing structural diagrams to assist, the cave space began to be insufficient, and the auxiliary effect also became very unsatisfactory.

Banbu is now an L4 high-level warrior, but he has not yet completed the upgrade of the cultivation method. He is very worried that when he advances to Mountain Lord in the future, there will be a large change in the distribution of bloodlines and the heart, making it more complicated. At that time, the stone slab drawing structural diagram as an auxiliary means may completely fail.

The cultivation method is already like this, and the more complex genetic martial skills… just thinking about it gives him a headache.

… …

Banbu also plans to do another thing, which is to formulate a calendar. Without instruments, he can only use natural plants for deduction.

God-given seeds have powerful genes, and the flowering and fruiting cycle is relatively stable, making them a good measuring tool.

Banbu had thought about it a long time ago, and had been observing carefully, initially confirming its feasibility.

He assigned the task to Big Head in advance.

It's very simple. Starting from the flowering season of the three God-given seeds, record them separately, using the "卍" symbol to time, drawing a stroke every 1 day, and one "卍" symbol represents 6 days.

Continue to record until the flowers bloom next year.

Calculating the statistics and comparing the three God-given seeds can roughly determine how many days it takes for the planet under your feet to revolve around the star, that is, how many days are there in a year.

After calculating how many days there are in a year, you can divide it into months in detail and make a calendar.

With a calendar, with detailed divisions of year, month, and day, you can then statistically determine accurate seasonal changes and mark the climate changes of each season.

In this way, you will no longer be ignorant and confused about the cycle of the four seasons and the changes of wind and clouds: what to do at what time, what to prevent, what preparations to make… you will no longer act based on feeling and experience.
