He wouldn’t have known if he didn’t prepare, but now that he did, Zhao Hai realized that he had thought too simply. He thought that as long as he got the oil press ready, he could produce fruit Oil.

However, when it was time to prepare, he realized that he still lacked a lot of things. First of all, they needed a place to wash the oil fruits. After the oil fruits were taken out, they had to be washed before the oil could be extracted. Otherwise, the hair on the skin would exist in the oil, affecting the quality of the oil.

Secondly, they needed to continuously put the oil press into the oil press, which required manpower and tools. Zhao Hai could replace the manpower with the undead creatures, but he needed to prepare the tools. Although he had a lot of living supplies, he didn’t have the tools.

Thirdly, they still needed to prepare tools, be it wooden barrels or iron boxes. They couldn’t just let the oil drip to the ground. Moreover, a thousand catties of oil a day was not a small amount, and the barrels they had to prepare were not small.

However, Zhao Hai did not have any carpenters on hand. No one knew how to make wooden barrels. The cost of making iron barrels was simply too high. The money Zhao Hai had on hand was not enough to buy many iron barrels. He could only buy some wooden barrels for now.

With that, Zhao Hai realized that the money he had was not enough to do anything. Even if he wanted to develop faster, it was impossible.

Zhao Hai had no other choice but to wait for the oil press to arrive before going to Casar city to see how much each barrel cost. Then, he would prepare to buy more.

Zhao Hai was starting to regret his decision. He should not have bought the oil press first. It might have been better to save the money to buy something else. What he should do now was to save up some blue-eyed rabbits and ask Laura to find him a buyer. After all, this was a business without any cost to Zhao Hai.

Although the oil press might not be able to take shape for a while due to financial problems, the rooms still needed to be tidied up. When the oil press arrived, there had to be a place to install it.

After letting the slaves clean the room, Zhao Hai, Merlin, and the rest left the castle and headed directly to the lake in the mountains. There were no fish in the lake, probably due to the toxins from the beast tide. However, they could not rule out the possibility that there were powerful Water-type magic beasts in the lake. If there were really Water-type magic beasts, the fish they threw in would be equivalent to feeding them. To be safe, Zhao Hai decided to let Merlin check the lake in the mountains. He wanted to confirm if there were any magical beasts here.

Grimm, meg, and the others followed along. If there were really powerful Water-type magic beasts in the mountains and lakes, they could help to deal with them.

Although she had checked once before, this time, Merlin was even more careful. At the same time, she was also checking the direction of the water flow. After all, if she did not check the direction of the water flow clearly in this Mountain Lake, no matter how many fish she threw in, they would all run away.

Fortunately, there weren’t any Water-type magic beasts in the lake, and the current didn’t seem to be very strong. There weren’t any living creatures in the water either. It seemed that the magic beasts and undead creatures in the swamp were too poisonous, so there were no lives in the mountain lake.

Zhao Hai was still worried. He sent an undead creature into the lake to find the source of the lake. Unfortunately, there was no way to find the source of the lake. The lake was strange. There was a inlet on Zhao Hai’s right hand and an outlet on Zhao Hai’s left hand. The inlet and outlet were both mine holes dug by the dwarves. However, something was wrong with these two holes.

The news from the undead creatures was that the water inlet and outlet were blocked by something, and they couldn’t go through. This surprised Zhao Hai, so he quickly entered the space and turned on the screen to see what was underwater.

The situation at the bottom of the lake surprised Zhao Hai. Although he could not see any large fish or magic shells, it did not seem empty at all. There were a lot of aquatic grass in the water. Most importantly, Zhao Hai actually saw something like coral in the water.

This was what shocked Zhao Hai. He didn’t understand why there were coral-like things at the bottom of the lake. He remembered that corals usually lived in the sea, so why were there at the bottom of the lake?

Unfortunately, he was too far away from the inlet and outlet, so he couldn’t see what was blocking the water.

Zhao Hai had no choice but to call back the undead creature he sent into the water. Then, he gave the staff to the undead creature and asked him to take the staff to the water inlet and outlet.

In fact, Zhao Hai already had an answer in his heart. The entrance and exit of the lake were most likely blocked by corals. If that was the case, he didn’t have to worry about anything. He could just rear fish in the lake.

Merlin also watched the screen with Zhao Hai. Soon, the undead creature reached the entrance of the lake. The entrance was huge, more than ten meters high and more than twenty meters wide. However, it was completely blocked by something that looked like a coral. It was blue and looked like a blue crystal in the water. It was very beautiful.

When Merlin saw this, he nodded and said, ” &Quot; so it’s a crystal horn bug. Right, only this kind of thing can hide from my detection. Only then can they survive in this place. &Quot;

&Quot; huh? ” Zhao Hai looked at Merlin in confusion and asked, ” grandma Merlin, what are crystal horn bugs? ”

Merlin smiled and said, ” &Quot; these crystal horn bugs are very special water creatures. They are very small, and ordinary detection magic can’t detect them at all. These bugs don’t have any attack power, and no one knows how they survive in the water. They only know that these things can secrete a kind of magic crystal-like crystal. This crystal is very hard, and even a Grade 5 warrior can’t hurt them with a sword. Most importantly, these bugs can adapt to any environment. As long as it’s flowing water, once it reaches a certain depth, they can survive and slowly form these blue crystals that look like deer horns. These bugs aren’t afraid of poison, so some alchemists will collect these bugs to make some antidotes.”

After hearing what she said, Zhao Hai finally understood. The crystal horn bugs were like evolved coral worms. They could survive in any water environment, and they were not afraid of poison. No wonder there were so many coral-like things in the lake, even though there were no Water-type magic beasts.

Zhao Hai looked at the coral-like objects that the crystal horn bugs had made and nodded,”That’s good. We can keep fish in the lake now.

Merlin smiled and said, ” &Quot; not only that. The crystals formed by the crystal horn bugs aren’t very useful, but they are very beautiful. Most nobles like these things and like to put them in their homes. As long as they put these crystals in their rooms, they can prevent some poison magic attacks. Even if someone wants to poison you, you can also find out that these crystals have a special feature. When they are placed in their homes, if poison enters a five-meter radius of them, they will emit a faint fragrance. This is why many noble families have a lot of these things in their houses, and they are very expensive. There are a lot of these blue crystals in this Lake, and if young master digs them out, he can sell them for a lot of money.”

&Quot; forget it, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; let them stay in the lake. This way, the lake will look more beautiful. There’s no rush to dig it out. It’s not like this thing can run away. &Quot;

Merlin did not have any objections. In fact, she knew that there was another benefit to the crystal horn worm. If the place with the crystal horn worm was used to rear fish, the fish would rarely get sick and had a high survival rate. However, she knew that she didn’t need to tell Zhao Hai about this. Zhao Hai’s space could be used to rear fish, and the fish had a 100% survival rate. It was much better than the crystal horn worms.

However, Zhao Hai’s decision not to dig up the blue crystals had its benefits. After all, he had to raise them on a large scale in the future. Zhao Hai’s interspace could not do that, so he could only put them in the lake. With these things, it would be good for the fish.

After seeing the place, Zhao Hai was relieved. As long as they could get some young scaled fish, their fish farm would be set up.

Back at the castle, the few large warehouses were already prepared. Zhao Hai and green looked at them and felt that they were not bad, so they returned to the origin space.

In the next three days, Zhao Hai stayed at the green stone villa and waited for Laura to send someone to pick up the radishes. He had been planting radishes in the origin space and harvesting the radishes of the nine seasons. Now, even if Laura asked for hundreds of thousands of kilograms of radishes, he would not be afraid of not being able to take them out.

In the past three days, he had harvested two batches of oil fruits. Now, he had a lot of oil fruits in his hands, almost 10 million catties. This was the third batch of oil fruits that he had planted. The oil fruits he had harvested this time were the first season of the third batch.

Other than the oil fruits, Zhao Hai had also collected 1000 mature rabbits and 70000 small rabbits in the past three days. However, he did not collect the scaled-horned horses. Instead, he had raised rabbits in the entire farm.

From Zhao Hai’s point of view, the current horned scaly horse was of little value. Even a normal meat processing plant would not accept the horned scaly horse because the meat was very thick and not delicious. The Army also did not want the horned scaly horse because it could only be used to carry things and not as a Mount for cavalry.

It would be good for farming, but Zhao Hai didn’t have much land to farm, so he didn’t need the horses.

In the next three days, Zhao Hai had almost finished renovating the land in the valley. After that, he would directly assign some slaves there to build a small village so that the village would be independent.
