Chapter 81: New Farmland and Thunderfire Beads

Chapter 81: New Farmland and Thunderfire Beads

Expanding the greenhouse required common materials—wood, stone, steel, glass—all readily purchasable with money.

Alyss had mentioned that this design would make future expansions convenient for him.

Wood was easy—forests were never short of timber. A few trees controlled and felled at random would suffice.

As for other materials, he considered buying them from Earth.

Then transporting them via the magic box.

This required considering dimensions. If a steel plate bought was too large for the magic box or exceeded the dimensions of the greenhouse's "well," it'd be awkward—he'd have to process and cut it himself, truly troublesome.

Better to start with smaller-sized products, steel plates or pipes; shapes didn't matter, even different elemental compositions weren't relevant. Once tossed into the greenhouse well, they'd all be broken down, recombined during expansion as needed.

With online shopping and logistics being convenient, even these bulk goods arrived within days.

These materials, bit by bit, cost him over a hundred thousand, but the previous honey sales earned him over four hundred thousand—sufficient.

He also bought twenty more bee colonies.

Hua Mi transported all the materials to the greenhouse, tossing them into the well.

After enough materials were input, he could select the expanded structure at the control panel.

The initial greenhouse resembled a 2x5 rectangular space, divided into ten grids, each grid an acre, totaling around ten acres.

Now, the Thunderfire Flowers occupied about seven acres, leaving three.

He planned to double the area, expanding by ten more acres.

As for the shape, also 2x5, adjacent to the original, forming a 4x5 space.

A barrier was needed in the middle because different environments had to be created on both sides.

For the Thunderfire Flowers, no alterations were necessary; the harsh ice period was perfect for them.

On the other side, to meet the growth needs of the Mother Goddess's gift, heating was required.

No need for additional insulation materials—directly raising a magical barrier, allowing the greenhouse owner and invited guests to move freely but perfectly isolating the environments on both sides.

No need to add additional heaters or humidifiers; the greenhouse itself regulated the environment by adjusting the proportions of various elements within the area.

For instance, increasing the fire element's ratio raised the temperature; a larger water element ratio increased humidity.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

It defied science but was quite magical.

Once set, a pitch-black barrier appeared on the other side of the greenhouse, similar to the transition area at the entrance, filled with black mist.

About an hour later, the control panel displayed construction completion, and passing through the black mist led to the other side.

They emitted a slight burnt smell.

"Could these be honey condensed into hard cores?"

Hua Mi channeled his mental energy into the smaller pearl, unexpectedly discovering a wealth of magical elements inside.

Due to his lack of affinity with magic, discerning the specific magical element type was impossible.

But the surging energy was palpable.

Hua Mi couldn't resist temptation, prodding it slightly.

In an instant, it triggered a chain reaction, activating all the magical elements inside.

The pearl swiftly heated in his palm, generating tingling static sensations.

Sensing danger, Hua Mi instinctively threw the pearl away.

As it landed in the Thunderfire Flowers' field, it made a muffled 'bang.'

Pale flames erupted on the ground, instantly engulfing the nearby Thunderfire Flowers, exploding into a radius of about two meters, crackling with lightning as if forming rifts, shattering the space into countless fragments.

Within about 5 seconds, the spherical area gradually dissipated.

Silence returned to the greenhouse.

Hua Mi and the nearby pseudo-floral spirits were dumbfounded.

Grey ashes floated down while Thunderfire Flowers around were devoured by Azurefire.

Firefighting!

Hua Mi snapped out of it, rushing over.

Fortunately, the fire wasn't extensive and could be quickly extinguished using soil.

Hua Mi sighed in relief, glancing at the larger pearl left in his hand, no longer daring to toy with it.

"Is there a chance for Azurefire Bees to produce such by-products when brewing honey?"

It seemed even honey-collecting bees could evolve not just towards higher honey yield efficiency but potentially create additional products.

Not bad.

Honestly, this pearl could be quite practical for attack, an excellent attack item.

Easy to use—activate with mental energy and toss it at the target. A dual thunder-fire attribute attack; even if it didn't kill, it'd certainly cause significant damage.

"With thunder and fire, let's call it Thunderfire Bead."
