There are countless worries in life, but lack of money probably accounts for nine out of ten of them.
Lu Ping'an lived a good life in Changping for a short period of time, but soon due to the practical reason of "no money", he was ready to return to the ancient city and make final preparations before departure.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford the rent of the hotel, but that he was spending money in all aspects, and he had to save some money for his "departure funds" in the future.
"The information on the Demonic Land has almost been collected. I can't afford and don't have the qualifications to buy further information. It's time to purchase more supplies, but once it involves 'infrastructure', the price is really outrageous."
Although in just a few days, there are some more things in the courtyard, and the changes are obvious.
After the garden in the courtyard, there is another farmland, in which some simple metal puppets are working.
After giving Fang Wen some trust, Lu Ping'an purchased a batch of metal parts for her and also asked her to create some simple labor forces to facilitate her movement.
But unlike real spiritual creations, these are simple metal puppets that need to be controlled by her personally. This is not because Lu Pingan is still guarding her, but because Lu Pingan cannot afford real spiritual materials.
Throwing her out would allow her to solve the problem on her own, but everyone knows this is impossible.
Now, under the control of Fang Wen, those seeding machines, with a fork in one hand, a shovel in the other, and a claw in the other, are rapidly plowing the fields and spreading the first batch of seeds.
"Tsk, this kind of stuff is really expensive."
Wheat Seed Harvest No. 1 and Rice Seed Green No. 3 are specially processed "slightly contaminated seeds".
They are indeed food, and their growth rate is more than twice that of ordinary crops, and their yield is also more than twice that of ordinary crops. Four times the speed of the same field is expected, and if it is a living place like the courtyard, it is normal to increase it to ten times.
They are the careful products of gardeners, and like other quasi-pollution magic plants, they can absorb the pollution of the earth for "purification".
The food produced is not a polluted product, but the taste is more subtle. The output and production speed have been accelerated, so don't expect them to taste better than similar products.
Like other "mass-produced seeds", this thing will quickly deteriorate with repeated sowing, but in a living place like the courtyard, it is no problem to plant it for three or four seasons.
When Lu Pingping takes the time, he will improve the "seed" by himself, and it won't be a problem then.
"It's worth it. When traveling in foreign lands, the biggest headache is always the logistics, and logistics, in the final analysis, means food and drink."
Each world has its own rules and "principles". Plants from foreign lands may not be able to grow locally, and even if they survive, there is a high chance that they will undergo various mutations.
Local plants and food give birth to local basic rules. If "outsiders" eat them, they will include themselves in the cycle of this world. This is not a bad thing in most worlds, but in some worlds, it may not be a good thing.
The problem in this aspect is huge, but if there is no independent demiplane like the "courtyard", it seems that "eating food from another world" is the only option. Of course, you can eat the "logistics supply line" in your hometown, but that The price starts at about a hundred times.
Lu Ping'an farms in the courtyard not to "not eat food from another world", but to have the option not to eat it when necessary. At the same time, he does not have to worry about running out of food under any circumstances.
Lu Pingan himself didn't care much about this, but Da Mao and Fang Wen repeatedly emphasized its importance and regarded it as the top priority to advance, and Lu Pingan did not refuse.
".You have never seen a bag of rice exchanged for a silver weapon, just wait and see."
Since they attach so much importance to it, there is no reason for Lu Ping'an to stand in the way.
"If it's a different world, gold coins are sometimes not as good as stones, but food is often hard currency."
This statement is indeed quite reasonable. If you encounter an area affected by natural disasters and man-made disasters, outsiders should open up the situation and spread some relief food, which is more effective than any letter of recommendation.
Eating wheat and rice is obviously not possible. In addition, several bakery workshops and mechanical processing lines were purchased to facilitate simple processing of grain. But if it is to be started for a long time, it can only wait for the arrival of external labor force.
Lu Ping'an also became more and more sure of the cheating aspects of the "courtyard", and with the help of these veterans, he could truly develop it.
Lu Ping'an came one by one, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. He proposed a resolution to purchase armaments, but it was rejected by the veterans without hesitation at the internal decision-making meeting.
"How much money do you have now? You don't have enough money to buy a few brass items. It's better to solve the logistical problem."
Food was barely enough, and the next step was clothes.
Textile factories are labor-intensive industries, and this stuff is also hard currency in many worlds. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping'an chose to give up.
"Let's not talk about the high pollution (chemical pollution) of the upstream and downstream industries. We can't handle just the raw materials. The animal husbandry and silk industries are too big and we can't handle them now."
So, the simplest thing is for Lu Ping'an to purchase a batch of cheap clothes. They only require quantity and basic quality. The styles and materials are not particular at all. Now the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce cannot make the equipment needed by professionals and can only meet the needs of ordinary people. required.
In this regard, Da Mao and the others insisted. It didn't matter if the journey was safe. When they saw that it didn't cost much, they just approved it.
Next, it is natural to "live". After that, the permanent population in the courtyard will increase. It is impossible for everyone to live in the "private rooms" of the bank building. Not only is the space insufficient, but it also consumes life points.
"Can you expand the number of rooms by spending life points? Can you also unlock new rules buildings? Haha, no money, farewell."
So, outsource cement and construction equipment and let the "robots" work hard overtime? It's possible to play like this, but it's too late. It's only 20 days before departure. Who dares to live in the building that has been repaired at this time?
"There is an additional way you can try. Instead of having a 'demiplane' on campus, you can try to move the buildings inside it to your courtyard."
"Is this okay?!" Lu Ping'an thought thoughtfully, thinking of the club station he hadn't been to for a long time.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no problem at all.
It's just that this is the school's asset. The school probably didn't expect anyone to steal the building.
"To make up for it afterwards, as long as you haven't graduated, that's your world. Will this still be a problem in two or three years?"
"Okay, done."
Therefore, Lu Ping'an made a plan to "become a thief".
However, this kind of "relocation" is not that simple. If you want to keep both areas intact, you need the help of professionals.
In order for the community station to remain stable after "digging out a piece", it needs the help of a "constructor". Lu Ping'an knew a quasi-constructor, who was his former short-term roommate, but it was obviously not enough.
On our side, we need architectural talents, preferably the help of architects, in order to make the "building" successfully take root.
"Tsk, it's still a bit troublesome. If it doesn't work, let's just set up a tent this time."
In just twenty days, Lu Ping An was not sure he could complete the project.
The last thing for food, clothing, housing and transportation is naturally various vehicles. In this regard, Lu Pingan originally planned to simply purchase various motorcycles and other simple vehicles (which were too expensive to afford), but Big Cat stopped him.
"The physical rules of many worlds are different. Purely mechanical creations may become scrap metal wherever they go. I'm not asking you to tame Warcraft. You can't afford it now, but acquiring some bicycles shouldn't be a big problem. Those simple physical bearings, on the contrary, It works in most worlds.”
The most practical way is to spend life points to unlock the "zoo" and tame various transportation monsters. In fact, the number of rideable transportation monsters on the market has at least doubled in a short period of time, which is enough to show that many people do this. of.
However, Lu Ping'an couldn't do this. Not only did he lack the "rules" for taming animals, he also didn't have that many points.
After satisfying basic needs such as "food, clothing, housing and transportation", Lu Ping'an's small treasury and community activity funds were all bottomed out. If this exploration failed, he might be able to enjoy the life of a laity in advance.
But the sky is the limit, or in other words, officials have already thought of the needs of explorers.
"Can I get a direct interest-free loan with an explorer qualification, up to one million? Are these people supposed to be living Bodhisattvas?!"
