Chapter 39: Waiting for Development

“I think we might need to make some defensive preparations.”

Li Tianxiang pointed at the fog that was almost pressing against the farm with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, the three people behind him didn’t express their support after hearing this. Instead, they asked their own questions.

Sal said that there was not enough manpower. Meanwhile, Siebel thought that the farm’s restoration abilities were too poor. Although she possessed healing magic, it still involved draining one’s life force.

Thus, the effects of her healing magic were poor. Furthermore, some of the more advanced spells were still restricted by the curse. As for Linné, he pointed out a very important problem.

“Even if we want to do defensive work, what about the materials? The farm only has wood, soil, and stones.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxiang was slightly taken aback. He somewhat understood the meaning of land reform.

He stopped the worried Linné and summoned the map again. Then, he selected the new piece of land that had not been reformed.

Just as he had expected, before reclaiming the land, the land was labelled as “waiting for development”. The functions of the land would change according to his choice.

For example, now, after Linné brought up the issue of materials, Li Tianxiang chose to modify it into a mine (Level-1).

Although the surface of the land did not change much, everyone could see through the map that the label of this land had changed to “mine”.

At the same time, the underground area had turned into a perpendicular, four-sided mine shaft. Furthermore, as Li Tianxiang moved the map downwards, he did not see where the bottom of the shaft was.

However, Li Tianxiang also knew that because of the soil, even if they dug deeper, it would be very difficult to dig once they reached a certain point.

Even so, everything was uncertain in this farm. Perhaps when the time came, they could use a strange method to mine ores that were deeper underground.

Li Tianxiang waved his hand to close the map and looked at Sal.

“Allocate a portion of the people who farm daily to go over and mine instead.”

However, upon seeing the new mine, Linné’s eyebrows did not relax.

“Even if you have the minerals, how are you going to deal with smelting, forging, and so on? You’re just a farm. Furthermore, to defend against the fog, you need at least a full population from a small town.”

Although Li Tianxiang was a little unhappy, he had to admit that Linné was completely correct. However, there was still a way to deal with this.

“Actually, the size of the farm is about the same as a normal town. Every time the system gives me a new piece of land, there will be a portion of land that can be used even though it can’t be reclaimed. As for the problem of manpower, I can go to other worlds a few more times to hire more people and fill in the gaps.”

“Even Siebel’s curse can be lifted through this method of trading.”

Linné shrugged helplessly.

“Even though you have said many things, the problem is that it will take a long time to develop all these things. However, it’s hard to say when the creatures in the fog will appear.”

“Then let’s speed up!”

Li Tianxiang wasn’t one to dawdle. As he spoke, he turned on the Heavenly Market System. He planned to kidnap some people before coming back.

However, just as he was about to transmigrate, his expression froze.

He had gone to the Western Fantasy World twice. However, at that moment, there were colorful and artistic words written behind the name of the world. “Fury of the Lich King Dungeon is open for a limited time. The number of precious item trade contracts have increased for a limited amount of time!”

The words “highly rated” were also written in a large and bold font at the end of the description.

However, this vulgar style of writing was not the reason why Li Tianxiang froze. Instead, he froze because of the danger index behind the name of the world.

It had changed from two stars to five stars. It was obvious that it was very dangerous to enter this world now.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing that Li Tianxiang’s expression was slightly ugly, Siebel asked with concern.

“Take a look for yourselves.”

After confirming with the system, Li Tianxiang showed the system to everyone.

The expressions of the three people changed. However, unlike Li Tianxiang, they were more concerned about the words “Fury of the Lich King”.

“Fury of the Lich King? What does that mean?”

Linné was a little puzzled. Although he didn’t quite understand, it seemed to be a very dangerous situation.

Meanwhile, Siebel, who knew more about the outer regions, had a strange look on her face. She seemed both happy and worried as she explained to the others.

“The Lich King is actually not a demon from an outer region. To be precise, he is an agent from the continent of Azeroth who has been selected by the demons of the outer regions. He is the commander of the demon vanguard army that is planning to invade the planet.”

However, three of the people present had no relatives or friends on the continent of Azeroth. Thus, they were not particularly nervous after hearing these words. It was just that Linné was still concerned about the elves, so he was a little worried.

“However, this isn’t the time to go to Azeroth.”

Siebel was the first to notice the danger index behind the world.

“This farm system is attached to you. If you die in this extremely dangerous world, it’s unknown if the farm will still exist. As for whether we will die on the farm, it’s also unpredictable. Therefore, from my personal point of view, I object to you going to this world.”

For some reason, Li Tianxiang felt that when she spoke from a personal perspective, her voice was much louder.

Meanwhile, Linné frowned slightly and raised an objection.

“Then where will the defensive fortifications needed at the farm come from?”

Li Tianxiang’s expression changed once again, but this time, his expression was a bit strange. It was no longer as stiff before. Instead, it was an expression of excitement mixed with anticipation.

“I think that if we go to this world, we will be able to solve a lot of problems related to our defensive fortifications.”

Everyone followed his gaze and saw the introduction of the world that he had mentioned.

[Plants vs. Zombies World: Zombies are invading our homes. Make use of plants to defeat them! Danger index: Four stars]

“Oh…”

Linné reacted.

“In other words, do the plants in this world attack enemies like the Ancient Trees of War?”

Li Tianxiang rubbed his chin and nodded.

“If it’s similar to the world I know, it should be the case. Moreover, different plants have different kinds of powers. The most powerful one should be stronger than the Ancient Trees of War.”

When Li Tianxiang thought about the nuclear mushrooms, his eyes lit up. Its skill was explosion, and nuclear bombs were obviously part of this skill. No hot-blooded man could resist the light and heat of nuclear fusion.

Linné was slightly stunned. It was not that he could not understand. After all, the magic power of a high-level Druid could surpass the trebuchets of the Ancient Tree of War.

If the plants in a strange world could do this, it should not be strange.

“But…”

Sal, who had been standing at the side in a daze, finally interrupted and pointed out the biggest loophole in Li Tianxiang’s idea.

“Isn’t this world dangerous too?”

Everyone focused their attention on the four-star danger index. Li Tianxiang was slightly shocked. After all, the danger index of the Western Fantasy World before the Fury of the Lich King was only at two stars.

Based on his understanding, why would the Plants vs. Zombies world have a danger index of four stars?

However, since the Western Fantasy World was different from the one he knew, the Plants vs. Zombies World would presumably be very different from what he remembered..
