Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 1278 – The Brothers Get Together

Zhao Hai returned to the Space after sending Barlett and the others off. Laura and the others were currently on their computers. They were looking for appropriate planets to choose. As it turns out, these unwanted planets were put up for sale at fairly low prices. However, no one bought them. Operating such planets would need high investments. And even if great efforts were made, the planets could only produce fruits and plant products. There werenʼt many profits to them at all. Unless made for human habitation, there was no point to developing these planets.

In this case, why would anyone buy them? In the eyes of the families, they might as well use the money to make more battleships. The more battleships you have, the more power you can use, and the more benefits you can fight for.

Because of this, Zhao Hai was assured that nobody would complain if he were to take one of these planets for himself. They might even be happy if he were to take them all off of their hands.

When Laura and the others saw that Zhao Hai had arrived, they immediately waved towards him to come over. Zhao Hai walked over in front of a large screen. Displayed on the screen was a star map of the entire Machine Field. Most planets and meteorites were shown with white dots. These white dots were the uninhabitable planets. There were also meteorites and planets that were red, which indicated that people were living in them. And then there were more than 300 meteorites and planets that were green, these were the planets that nobody wanted.[1]

As he scanned the star map, Zhao Hai couldnʼt help but get stunned. He said, ”The Machine Field has so many unclaimed habitable planets? I didnʼt expect that.”

However, Zhao Hai also noticed that these planets were on the edge of the Machine Field – on the side far from the Cultivation Realm. Looking at this setup, Zhao Hai had a realization. Since these planets were in the outskirts of the Machine Field, and even far from the Cultivation Realm, it was natural that the Machine Field wouldnʼt expand towards them. If these planets were close to the Cultivation Realm, then even if their environments werenʼt good, people would still fight madly for them. This was because these planets could be used as stopover stations for supplies and commodities going to and from the Cultivation Realm.

Zhao Hai sat on the sofa as he turned his head to Laura and said, ”Have you settled on which planet to choose?”

Laura smiled and then she pointed towards the large screen. A red circle appeared on the screen, a planet in the middle of it.

This place was very far from the center of the Machine Field. It was also near to a meteorite belt. And in the vicinity of the planet were six white colored dots. It seems like these were the planetʼs moons.

The screen quickly changed its image, allowing Zhao Hai to have a careful look on the planet. From the star map, this planet was called Yalei 2. It was separated from the Machine Field by the meteorite belt. This meteorite belt wasnʼt very dangerous, but it still blocked large-scale ships from passing through it. The planet had six moons, named Ave 1 to 6. It was clear that this planet wasnʼt very popular judging by how simple its name was.

Then on the side of the screen was an introduction to Yalei 2. This planet can only be defined as a waste planet. The planetʼs ratio between land to water was four to six. Land accounts for 4 while the oceans account for 6.

It must be said that the land of Yalei 2 was very huge. But because it was quite distant from any stars, the temperature of the planet was lower than normal. In the planet’s land, besides moss, there were extremely few plants that grew. Moreover, the planetʼs seawater was too salty, completely incapable of nurturing life. Therefore, the planetʼs entire ocean was like the Dead Sea. A person could float on its surface without even moving.

The Machine Field appraised Yalei 2 as a planet thatʼs not suitable for human housing. Only people with strong physique could survive in this place. But even if someone wanted to invest in developing this planet, doing so would be close to impossible because the planet couldnʼt be reached with large-sized ships. Therefore, nobody wanted the planet. Its price was also astonishingly low. One could buy the planet for as low as seven million machine coins. In the Machine Field, seven million machine coins amounted to a single small battleship. It can be said that the planet was priced the same as a small ship.

But even though it was dirt cheap, nobody bought it. In their minds, at least a small ship had some uses compared to the waste planet.

However, Zhao Hai understood Lauraʼs intention upon seeing the planet. Yalei 2 was indeed suitable for him. First of all, Zhao Hai wasnʼt worried about the planetʼs environment. There were plenty of plants in the Space that could emit heat. Once theyʼre planted on the planet, it wouldnʼt be long before the planetʼs temperature rose. And as long as the temperature rises, icebergs frozen for thousands of years would melt, diluting the ocean water. This will reduce the waterʼs salt content, allowing for animals to live in it.

Although Yalei 2 was far from a star, this doesnʼt mean that it doesnʼt receive light. Plants could still perform photosynthesis with the amount of light hitting the planet. And the increasing temperature would only benefit plants on the planet. When the time comes, Yalei 2 will be greatly improved.

As for the six planets outside Yalei 2, bases could be constructed there, providing the planet with a net of security. Additionally, the meteorite belt that was close to the planet could become a shield for the planet.

Zhao Hai understood that he would pay a high price in order to transform Yalei 2. However, he didnʼt really intend to use it as a base. Actually, all of this investment was for the Ashley Family.

Even before they met Zhao Hai, the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm were already coveting the Machine Field. If the two worked together, then the Machine Field would be hard-pressed to win. Margaret already asked Zhao Hai to help the Ashley Family when such times arrive. And since Zhao Hai canʼt send them to the Space, then he could only send them to Yalei 2.

Zhao Hai was very satisfied with the planet, he nodded and said, ”Good, letʼs take this planet. Even if we canʼt request for it, weʼll buy it. However, we need to set up a transmission formation on the planet. Although itʼs just for cover, it might be useful in the future.”

Laura nodded. Then Zhao Hai had Meg invite Merine and Green over to discuss how to transform Yalei 2 Planet.

Green and Merineʼs current state was very good. They have started to practice cultivation methods and it has brought great results. Although their combat strength didnʼt increase by much, it was already good that their lifespan increased. And the longer they live, the more they can cultivate.

At this time, the two were either studying magic formations or doing something with the Hundred Spirit Tree. They also grow a few plants on the side to entertain themselves. They were living quite leisurely.

The two already understood that Zhao Hai was powerful enough that nobody can move him anymore. Therefore, they no longer have any worries.

Zhao Hai told the two elders about the outside situation and the two immediately agreed. But now, they no longer needed to direct it outside. They can now do it from the Space. The grunt work would be taken care of by the Undead.

After arranging these things, Zhao Hai had nothing else left to do other than releasing silver needles and have Caiʼer control it towards Yalei 2.

Zhao Hai brought Margaret to stroll around the Bone Symbol Camp or Dark Demon Planet once in a while. However, they spent most of their days being busy. Thereʼs just a lot of people who want to see them.

Besides his hectic schedule, Zhao Hai was also waiting for news about his reward. And the Machine Field didnʼt make him wait too long. Ten days after Zhao Hai returned to Dark Demon Planet, Cadjo came to inform him to go to Machine Field Planet to receive his reward.

Zhao Hai took Margaret with him to Machine Field Planet. But just as they arrived at the Ashley Familyʼs office building, Zhao Hai was surprised to see Xiong Li and the others there. It seems like they had already gone out of seclusion.

When Xiong Li and the others came out of their seclusion, then immediately went to Machine Field Planet. And upon knowing that Zhao Hai had returned, they came looking for him.

Zhao Hai immediately welcomed his brothers to his room. Then he scanned through Xiong Li and the others before he nodded and said, ”Good, all of you became stronger. Hehe. It seems like youʼve gained a lot during your seclusion.”

Xiong Li laughed and said, ”Kid, youʼre the one whoʼs strong. Youʼre making us lose face. But we did become stronger. Iʼm now more confident in going to the Six Realms Battlefield.”

Zhao Hai laughed and said, ”Why are you thinking about the Six Realms Battlefield when it hasnʼt been decided yet? Youʼre worrying too early.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Dongfang Yu couldnʼt help but frown as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, ”Little Hai, donʼt you know? Team Leader Ma notified us that we have five days to prepare after receiving the reward. After that, we will enter the Six Realms Battlefield.”

Zhao Hai was shocked, he didnʼt receive this news. Zhao Hai looked at his brothers and said, ”When did Team Leader Ma tell you this? Why am I not informed?”

Dongfang Yu replied, ”He informed us when we came out. But since you havenʼt closed up, I believe Team Leader Ma planned to tell you when you arrive here.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, ”Thatʼs possible. Right, I have some good news. I found our base. Come and take a look.” Then he took out his computer.

Zhao Hai turned his computer on and then opened the star map. After that, he pointed towards Yalei 2 and said, ”This is Yalei 2. This is where I plan to have our base constructed.”

Xiong Li and the others immediately checked the information regarding the planet. But as they read through the material, they couldnʼt help but get terrified. It can be said that Yalei 2 was truly a bad planet.

After reading the information, Xiong Li looked at Zhao Hai in confusion as he asked, ”Little Hai, is this a joke? What are we going to do on that planet? Didnʼt you read the information? That planet is not a place for human habitation.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, ”Itʼs fine. I already thought about what to do with it. As long as we take care of this planet, itʼll be ours in the future. I already asked Margaret for help along with other people. They will transform this planet once we head to the Six Realms Battlefield. It should be a different place once we return.”

These words didnʼt change what Xiong Li and the other felt. This was because the information on the computer about Yalei 2 was just too bad. In their minds, it would still be a trash planet after its transformation.

Seeing their expression staying the same, Zhao Hai lowered his voice and said, ”Actually, Yalei 2 is just a cover. Our real base wouldnʼt be there. Come, let me show you.”

As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, the group immediately gathered. They knew that Zhao Hai was about to use space magic. Seeing that everyone had gathered, Zhao Hai smiled, then with an intention white light covered the group. The next moment, the group appeared on an island in the Endless Desert.

When the white light vanished, Xiong Li and the others began to look around them. Upon sensing the environment, they couldnʼt help but be dumbfounded. This island was very good. It was much better compared to other places that Xiong Li and the others had been to.

Moreover, since Xiong Li and the others had experienced the environment of the Cultivation Realm, they knew that the spiritual density on the island was on par with the Cultivation Realm. This caused them to be startled.

While Xiong Li and the others were curiously looking around, Zhao Hai said, ”Brothers, I need to tell you this in advance. You can only do your activities within the island. You must not go beyond the outside shield. Otherwise, even gods wouldnʼt be able to save you.”

Xiong Li and the others turned to look at the horizon and saw that there was a bright yellow shield surrounding the island. Seeing this, Xiong Li couldnʼt help but ask, ”Little Hai, how did you find this place? Whatʼs outside the shield?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, ”Brothers, try to guess.” The group shook their heads. The Machine Field was too large and they had only been here for a few years. Moreover, the islandʼs environment was too special. They donʼt even know where to start guessing.

Seeing their response, Zhao Hai smiled and said, ”Itʼs a famous place. However, people only know about whatʼs outside the island. Actually, nobody knows about this place.”

The brothers got more curious upon hearing Zhao Hai. Seeing his brothers staring at him, Zhao Hai stopped making them guess as he said, ”Outside this island is the Endless Desert. The place weʼre in now is the center of the desert.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Xiong Li and the others were startled. Then they looked at each other, visibly shocked. Xiong Li turned to Zhao Hai and said, ”Little Hai, is the Endless Desert youʼre talking about the same desert that is a forbidden area in the Machine Field? The place that produces Ancient Eternal Sand? That desert?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, ”Where else could you see a vast desert in the World of Cultivation? Weʼre at the center of it.”

Li Kuangren exclaimed, ”Impossible. If we really are at the center of the Endless Desert, then how did you find this place?”

But Zhao Hai just smiled, ”You donʼt have to worry about how I found out about this place. So how is it? Are you satisfied with our base?”

I was wondering if ʼmeteoritesʼ were supposed to be ʼmoonsʼ. But the characters used for them, 陨石, literally means ʼfalling stone/rockʼ.
Chapter 1279 – Rewards

Satisfied, of course theyʼre satisfied. They were beyond satisfied!

If Xiong Li and the others were unsatisfied with the island, then thereʼs no place in the world that would satisfy them. As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, Xiong Li and the others laughed then they flew around to examine the island.

Zhao Hai saw their actions and didnʼt mind it. The islandʼs vitality has already been improved. Zhao Hai raised some fishes and prawns in the islandʼs waters. Naturally, these fishes werenʼt for consumption, they were for viewing.

Before long, Xiong Li and the others returned to Zhao Haiʼs side. They had already examined the entire island. They couldnʼt believe how beautiful the island was. They were all happy.

Seeing his brothers smiling, Zhao Hai smiled as well as he said, ”Alright, letʼs head back. It wouldnʼt be good if we disappeared for a long time.” Then with a wave of his hand, the group returned to his room in the Machine Field Planet.

Even after sitting down, Xiong Li and the others couldnʼt hide the excitement on their faces. Xiong Li muttered, ”I didn’t expect something so beautiful to exist. Moreover, itʼs our base! I couldn’t help but smile when I think about it.”

Dongfang Yu and the others nodded. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, ”Itʼs good that you like it. However, we still need to take care of Yalei 2. You shouldnʼt underestimate that planet. Pay attention to the planetʼs location and youʼll understand why I chose it.”

As soon as they heard this, Xiong Li and the others immediately opened their computers and pulled up the star map. Almost immediately, they understood what Zhao Hai meant.

When they settled down once more, Dongfang Yu said, ”I failed to see Yalei 2ʼs surroundings before. As long as we develop the planet, it would certainly become a very good base.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, ”Iʼve recruited some people to help Margaret in transforming Yalei 2. I believe we can see a different Yalei 2 upon returning from the Six Realms Battlefield.”

Dongfang Yu and the others were glad. After all, it was also their base. They could not see a situation where they couldnʼt get the planet. They saw Yalei 2ʼs situation and to be honest, it was too easy to get the planet given their contribution. The Machine Field might even feel that they were giving an unfair reward.

As the group were discussing Yalei 2, a robotʼs voice was heard outside, ”Mister Zhao Hai, Mister Ma Rulong is here to see you.”

Zhao Hai quickly said, ”Invite him in immediately.” Then the robot opened the door and led Ma Rulong inside the room.

Seeing Xiong Li and the others inside, Ma Rulong smiled and said, ”It seems like youʼre already aware that you will be going to the Six Realms Battlefield five days after receiving your reward. Do you need help preparing?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ”I have nothing else to prepare. But Team Leader, can I ask what our rewards are?”

Ma Rulong smiled and said, ”Actually, itʼs nothing to ponder much about. Everyone in the Machine Field knows that we have a Realm Arsenal. Inside this arsenal are weapons of the Machine Field. Your reward is choosing items inside this arsenal. Little Hai can choose ten while Xiong Li and the others can choose three. Naturally, this isnʼt all. All of you will also receive 10 million machine coins each. Also, youʼll get a thousandth of the income from the mines and ore planets.”

Zhao Hai and the others stared. This didnʼt mean that they thought that the reward was small. On the contrary it was too high. The other things were good, but the best one was the one thousandth income from the mines and ore planets.

The Machine Field obtained a lot of valuable mines and ore planets. The resources mined on these places would all be sent to the Machine Field. The mined minerals would be of great use to the realm. A thousandth of all of these minerals was a very remarkable amount. Rewarding them with such an amount was beyond Zhao Haiʼs expectations.

Seeing Zhao Hai and the othersʼ expression, Ma Rulong smiled and said, ”This matter has already been decided, it can no longer be changed so you can rest assured. Also, if it werenʼt for you, the Machine Field wouldnʼt have gotten its hands on those mines. Giving you this much is normal. The Machine Field has never been stingy in rewarding people with great contributions. Right, do you have any requests? If thereʼs anything you want, just tell me and Iʼll see what I can do. As long as it isnʼt an excessive request, of course.”

When Zhao Hai heard Ma Rulong, he smiled and said, ”Team Leader, I have a request.”

Zhao Haiʼs words caused Ma Rulong to be interested. He knew that Zhao Hai rarely asked for anything. Now that Zhao Hai has made a request, Ma Rulong was surprised. He immediately said, ”Alright, tell me.”

Zhao Hai replied, ”Team Leader, we brothers plan to go independent after going to the Six Realms Battlefield. Because of this, we want to set up a base on a planet.”

Ma Rulong replied, ”You want a planet? You really want a planet? That’s…”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ”Team Leader, the planet we want isnʼt that extraordinary. In fact, the Machine Field put it up for sale. Itʼs called Yalei 2.”

Ma Rulong raised his brows and asked, ”Yalei 2? Where is that? Why havenʼt I heard of it?”

Zhao Hai couldnʼt help but roll his eyes. Then he gestured to the computer and said, ”Team Leader, you can go take a look.” Ma Rulong nodded and immediately opened the computer. He pulled out the star map and found Yalei 2.

Upon reading the information regarding Yalei 2, Ma Rulong turned to Zhao Hai and said, ”Little Hai, this is the place you want? Even birds wonʼt defecate here.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ”I also want something good, but I reckon nobody would agree. Yalei 2 is still acceptable. If I have it, then I can use it to raise crabs.”

”Crab?” Ma Rulong quickly responded, ”Are those the huge crabs we ate? You can grow them in Yalei 2?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, ”Team Leader, you can rest assured. It could support the crabs. The planet doesnʼt even need to be transformed that much.”

Ma Rulong nodded and said, ”Alright, this shouldnʼt be a problem. Itʼs a planet that nobody wants. Those guys might even be happy to hand it over to you. Right, Little Hai, since I came over, how about treating this old man to some drinks?”

Zhao Hai laughed as he immediately led the group to the dining area before taking out food and wine.

Zhao Hai and the others waited in Machine Field Planet for two days before receiving their rewards. The Awarding ceremony was actually very troublesome. The first part was held in an assembly hall. Speeches came one after the other. After several hours of speeches, only then were the group taken to the Realm Arsenal.

The Realm Arsenal was very famous in the Machine Field. Unlike the secret treasuries of the families, the Realm Arsenal belonged to the public. Various Families would bring over weapons and other items every year in order to enrich this arsenal.

The existence of this arsenal serves two purposes. The first was to award prizes to those who made contributions to the Machine Field like Zhao Hai and the others. The second purpose was to use it as a huge logistics base. If the Machine Field goes to war with another realm, then the weapons and resources of this arsenal would be used to defend against the enemy. Only after this arsenal gets emptied would the Great Families open their own arsenals.

It might sound ridiculous, but this was what the Machine Field implemented. Moreover, Families were required to enrich it every year. Because of this, the arsenal has undergone numerous expansions.

However, Zhao Hai wasnʼt too hopeful about the arsenal. The Families certainly wouldnʼt store valuable weapons and items here. They kept the good items for themselves.

And just like what Zhao Hai thought, he saw nothing great upon entering the arsenal. The weapons can only be described as above average. This caused Zhao Hai to be somewhat disappointed.

Fortunately, the arsenal doesnʼt only have weapons. It also had plenty of ores and various resources. Seeing the unique ores inside, Zhao Hai talked to Xiong Li and the others and asked them to not choose a weapon and instead choose the ores. In turn, Zhao Hai would take care of their weapons for them.

Naturally, Xiong Li and the others agreed. They were more confident in Zhao Haiʼs weapons than the weapons inside the arsenal. Additionally, they werenʼt looking for Machine Field weapons at this moment. After all, they were now practicing the Cultivation Realmʼs methods. In this case, the weapons they needed to use were weapons from the Cultivation Realm. So under Zhao Haiʼs request, Xiong Li and the others chose different ores to take. Zhao Hai also took some ores for himself.

The choice made by Zhao Hai and the others caused other people to be confused. After all, the ores sent werenʼt that valuable. And even if the ores were valuable, they still need a good weaponsmith to make them into weapons. Majority of people entering the arsenal wouldnʼt choose ores.

However, since this was what Zhao Hai and the others chose, nobody said anything. At this time, Zhao Hai introduced more than 20 new ores to the Space. This meant that he would be able to make more weapons and with greater quality as well.

Besides entering the arsenal, Zhao Hai and the others were also rewarded with 10 million Machine Coins as well as the promised one thousandth of the income from the mines. To be honest, Zhao Hai didnʼt really care much about these. Money was what Zhao Hai lacked the least.

As for Yalei 2, this matter proceeded smoothly. Nobody wanted it and its price was also very low. And since it was Zhao Haiʼs group, the Machine Fieldʼs higher-ups decided to just give it to them. Moreover, they werenʼt only given Yalei 2, but the surrounding planets as well. In other words, Zhao Hai and the others would also rule the area surrounding Yalei 2.
