Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 66 Grass Carp Mature in Just Six Days (Humans Can't, or at Least Shouldn't)

In the chicken coop, there were a total of six wild jungle fowls. According to the [Tycoon of Breeding (I)] Aura, the six wild jungle fowls should be able to lay one egg each per day. However, there were only five eggs in the coop, indicating that a male wild jungle fowl had infiltrated this group of hens.

Well, well!

Five hens serving one rooster, this might be the peak of chicken reproduction.

"You little rooster, finally showing your claws."

Ning Ze searched for a while and finally found the rooster among the wild jungle fowls. There wasn't much difference in appearance between the hens and the rooster, the only distinction being that the rooster's legs appeared thicker and its body slightly larger, of course, with an additional appendage.

The rooster flapped vigorously in his hands, and the "clucking" sound stirred up all the hens in the coop.

"Wow, you little rooster, quite popular indeed. But your harem management is not good, how can you favor only one hen a day?"

"Hurry up and put in more effort, try to produce more fertilized eggs for me."

Ning Ze returned the rooster to the coop and also placed the two fertilized eggs he had harvested earlier into the coop.

These were fertilized eggs. It would be a waste to eat them. If these hens could hatch them, it wouldn't be long before a batch of chicks could be harvested.

Relying solely on windfall gains would only be a temporary measure. To achieve egg freedom, one must strive for sustainable development.

Furthermore, Fenrir had not been able to catch any wild jungle fowls yesterday, which likely indicated that they had either been completely captured or scared away, further emphasizing the importance of hatching eggs.

In the following time, Ning Ze continued to explore the pigsty, beehive, and fish pond.

The piglets in the pigsty were still lazing around. Upon hearing Ning Ze's arrival, they only grunted a few times before going back to sleep.

What lazy little pigs!

The fierce bees in the beehive were starting to fly out of the nest, seemingly preparing to gather nectar. The contrast between their diligence and the lazy piglets was stark.

On the other hand, there were some changes in the fish pond. Some aquatic plants had appeared on the bottom of the water, likely breeding microorganisms. The growth of the fish fry was also rapid. In just two days, the fish fry had grown to the size of a palm.

This was an exaggerated speed. The second-level fish pond itself had a 200% growth rate bonus, coupled with the effect of [Tycoon of Breeding (I)] Aura.

With such a mature period, grass carp fry, under ample food supply, would only need six days to fully mature.

"A second-level fish pond should be able to support a thousand grass carp with its own ecosystem. However, when the grass carp mature and enter the breeding period, the number of grass carp in the pond is likely to explode. By then, one pond may not be enough."

Ning Ze pondered for a moment, but he wasn't too worried about this issue. There were still many underground water sources near the courtyard, so it would be a matter of building a few more fish ponds.

After circling the courtyard, Ning Ze left with Xue Siyu and Fenrir.

"It's been two days since I visited the peculiar big tree. I just obtained a lot of meat yesterday, so let's try our luck with it."

He didn't currently need iron tree resources. Thinking about how Xue Siyu had dedicated herself to the temple statue and obtained the Soul Contract, he vaguely felt that the peculiar big tree might be able to offer more than just iron tree resources.

After sending Xue Siyu to quarry stones, Ning Ze headed towards the peculiar big tree.

Soon, the familiar big tree came into view. Without a word, Ning Ze walked up and swung an axe at the peculiar big tree.

Crimson juice flowed out along the iron axe. Although Fenrir didn't bark wildly at the peculiar big tree as before, it still made a low, tense growling sound.

Seeing Fenrir's reaction, Ning Ze couldn't help but ponder.

The origin of this peculiar big tree had always been unclear. It was said to be a monster, but he couldn't even see the peculiar big tree's interface, nor had it ever attacked him.

But it couldn't be considered friendly either, as their relationship had always been purely transactional, with a certain distance in their communication.

"Worship me, and I will tell you everything you want to know!"

It was the same old line. If it weren't for the peculiar big tree showing desire in the past, he would have thought that the peculiar big tree didn't have thoughts at all.

Ning Ze didn't waste any time and took out ten pounds of bear meat from his backpack, tossing it under the peculiar big tree's roots.

He currently had several tons of inedible meat in his backpack, so ten pounds of meat was nothing to him. He didn't feel any heartache at all.

The thrown bear meat instantly emitted green smoke. In just a few seconds, the ten pounds of bear meat turned into a puddle of meat paste, emitting a foul and pungent odor.

Ning Ze was already accustomed to this scene and didn't waste any time. He took out the Soul Contract scroll from his backpack.

"I don't currently need iron tree resources. Do you have this thing?" he asked.

"I do," the peculiar big tree responded.

It really did!

It seemed that the peculiar big tree and the temple statue that Xue Siyu encountered were the same kind of existence.

"How can I obtain it?" Ning Ze asked again.

"Worship me!"

Ning Ze immediately took three steps back. Seeing that the peculiar big tree didn't do anything to him, he calmed his breath and said, "Do you mean that I can have multiple Soul Contract scrolls at the same time?"

"Others can't, but you can!"

Ning Ze was puzzled by this response. "Why?" he asked.

However, this time, the peculiar big tree's response didn't come immediately. After a long time, it faintly said, "Cannot tell!"

The response was only four words. In the past, if it couldn't provide an answer, it would usually add four more words at the beginning: Worship is insufficient!

The absence of these words indicated that the answer couldn't be obtained through worship, or perhaps even the peculiar big tree itself didn't know the reason.

Could it be that I have some mysterious identity?

It could also be because he could produce fresh edible meat.

Ning Ze didn't delve too deeply into this issue and took out a piece of edible meat from his backpack.

As before, the branches of the peculiar big tree began to tremble violently, and the air seemed to be filled with a jubilant emotion, much like a dog waiting to be fed.

Seeing this, Ning Ze said, "Let's discuss. I'll exchange this meat for the Soul Contract scroll, or you can add ten more slots to my Soul Contract scroll. What do you think?"

After making the changes, ready to share the Aura
