Chapter 39: New Function
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhao Hai did not pay attention to the ongoing class. Zhao Hai knew that Merlyn would not disappoint him. Moreover, Merlyn was a level-eight advanced mage. There were not many experts at that level in the Aksu Empire. Merlyn had a few disciples before, but they died in battle when they followed Adam’s father to war.
Therefore, Merlyn was experienced in teaching and was the best choice to teach those slaves. What Zhao Hai was troubled about now was the food of those slaves.
As long as the corn ripened, they would have stalks to burn. There was also other food in the warehouse, so there was no need to worry about food. However, Zhao Hai thought of a problem. When they started the fire, there would definitely be smoke. The space here was only so big. If the smoke could not be discharged, it would start accumulating. That was not a good thing.
What Zhao Hai was most afraid of was that the smoke would cause pollution in the Space Farm, but he could not say this. He could not let the slaves eat radishes every day, right? He could only let them cook first. If it became a problem, they would have to reduce the number of times they cooked. When he could leave the Space Farm, he would think of a way to expel the smoke.
However, Zhao Hai was also worried about the situation outside. He did not know how the castle outside was doing. If it was destroyed by those magical beasts, they might not even have a place to stay after they left. That would be even more troublesome.
After walking around the room a few times, Zhao Hai could not think of a good solution. He could only walk to the monitor beside the bed. The monitor was not on and was dark.
Zhao Hai did not know how to turn on the monitor, so he could only say softly, “Open.”
The monitor did not react at all. Zhao Hai was in a dilemma. There was no obvious switch on this monitor.
Zhao Hai could only reach out and touch the display screen. However, to his surprise, the display screen lit up the moment his hand touched it. Then, various tools and shop, as well as the logo of the warehouse, appeared on the screen.
This stunned Zhao Hai. He remembered that the last time he checked this monitor, there was only a shop logo and a farm introduction icon. He did not expect there to be more icons now.
Zhao Hai did not care. He could easily control the things on the screen with his thoughts, so there was no need to look at the things on it.
At the same time, when Zhao Hai was about to close the monitor, he suddenly noticed an icon. This icon was not of the things in the Space Farm. Instead, it looked like a logo of a camera.
Zhao Hai was stunned. If this symbol appeared on a computer, it would not be strange, but it was strange for this symbol to appear on this screen.
Zhao Hai clicked on the icon. He wanted to see what this icon was. As soon as his finger touched the icon, it immediately emitted a white light that shot to Zhao Hai’s head. A lot of information appeared in Zhao Hai’s head.
Because there was too much information, Zhao Hai had to close his eyes and lie on the bed to digest the information.
It took Zhao Hai a while to digest all the information. He opened his eyes and said unhappily, “Isn’t it just a monitoring device? It’s so long-winded.”
Zhao Hai finally understood what that icon was for. That icon only appeared because Zhao Hai had been to many places. It could be said to be something like a CCTV. However, its range was larger. Because the level of the Space Farm was still too low, he could only monitor things within a hundred meters of where he entered the Space Farm. As the level of the Space Farm increased, the range he could see would also increase.
This was really a timely assistance. Just as Zhao Hai was worrying about how to check the situation outside, such a thing appeared and resolved his urgent problem.
Zhao Hai immediately sat up from the bed and walked to the monitor. He touched the screen again, and the screen immediately lit up. Then, Zhao Hai clicked on the camera-like symbol. The scene on the screen changed, and a three-dimensional castle image suddenly appeared on the computer.
There was a scale below the image of this castle. The 100 meter range of scenery was squeezed in this screen.
Zhao Hai saw many green dots moving on the 3D image. He clicked on a green dot. The screen flashed, and then, as if the camera was zooming in quickly, a huge rat-like magical beast appeared on the screen. This rat-like magical beast looked around sneakily. Only now did Zhao Hai realize that this rat-like magical beast was standing in the living room of the castle. There was a pile of rotten wood beside the rat. From the texture of the wood, it was the sofa that was originally placed in the living room.
Zhao Hai looked carefully at the screen and saw a 3D castle image in the upper left corner of the screen. Zhao Hai knew what this was for. He tapped on it and the screen immediately returned to the previous main view. There were still many green dots moving on it.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and understood. The green dots represented either a magical beast or an undead creature. Zhao Hai clicked at the living room. This time, he did not click on the green dot. As expected, the scene changed, and the entire living room appeared on the screen. There were two rat-like magical beasts standing in the living room. One was the one Zhao Hai had seen earlier, and the other was chewing on wood. The sofas, small tables, and other things in the living room had been completely destroyed. It seemed like they had been eaten by those rats.
Zhao Hai looked at the large rats and accidentally swiped his finger on the screen. The scene changed to a room beside the living room.
Zhao Hai was stunned. He did not expect this thing to be so convenient. He could actually change the scene with just a swipe. This seemed to be even more useful than the surveillance cameras on Earth.
Zhao Hai swiped his finger down on the screen. As expected, the scene on the screen changed to the courtyard. The courtyard was very lively now. The undead creatures and all kinds of magical beasts were moving around in the courtyard. The straw mats and dry grass were scattered all over the courtyard.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai sighed and turned off the screen. Now that he knew that the outside world was still a world of magical beasts, he couldn’t be in a hurry to leave.
At this moment, another Space Farm notification sounded. “The corn are ripe. Please collect them as soon as possible.”
Zhao Hai immediately walked out of the house and saw Merlyn teaching the slaves. When they saw Zhao Hai, they looked at him in confusion.
Zhao Hai knew that they had also heard the Space Farm notification. He did not care about them and only said softly, “Collect the kernels, corn stalks, and corncobs.”
Just as he finished speaking, the basket that was used to collect the things immediately flew up. The corn in the ground also flew out. Soon, the two acres of corn were collected.
Although the slaves had already seen Zhao Hai harvest radishes, they were still very surprised to see Zhao Hai harvest corn.
After Zhao Hai finished collecting the corn, he immediately took out the corn stalks and corn cobs and placed them beside the stoves. He then took out rice and flour, before planting another batch of corn.
Merlyn understood what Zhao Hai meant. It was time to cook. She put away the papers and said to the slaves, “Alright, everyone, time to cook. We’ll continue after the meal.”
The slaves looked at the papers that Merlyn had put away reluctantly. To them, being able to learn to read and write was more important than anything else. Not to mention eating a bad meal for a while, even if they were asked to not eat today, they would be willing.
Zhao Hai really did not know what these slaves usually ate, but he had been eating bread for the past few days and he was getting tired of it.
However, there was no oven here, so it was impossible to bake bread. Zhao Hai wanted to see what Merlyn would cook for him today.
As expected, Merlyn looked at the things Zhao Hai took out and turned to Zhao Hai. “Young Master, you need to take out some vegetables, ham, and nut oil.”
Zhao Hai immediately took out those things. Merlyn left the rice, some vegetables, and some nut oil to the slaves, while she took the flour, some nut oil, vegetables, and ham and entered the straw hut. She remembered that there was a kitchen in the straw hut, and there were many kitchen utensils that she had not seen before.
Zhao Hai did not know what Merlyn was doing. He followed Merlyn into the hut. When Merlyn began to knead the dough, Zhao Hai more or less understood that Merlyn might be making flatbreads.
Flatbread was Zhao Hai’s favorite food. He turned and left the hut. In any case, he could not help much.
He was stunned when he came out of the hut. He thought that the slaves were going to make rice, but it looked like that was not the case. The slaves had started a fire, and put oil in the heated pots. Then, they placed the rice in it and began to stir-fry. Zhao Hai’s scalp turned numb. This was the first time he had seen someone eat rice like this.
Meg and the others did not seem surprised at all. They only watched from the side as the people cooked. Zhao Hai knew that the people here must eat rice like this often, so Meg and the others did not show any surprise.
