Wow, the people’s morale has indeed reached 90 points?

Richard was a little surprised.

He immediately smiled after he saw the upgraded feature twice.

Although this special characteristic wasn’t a battle-type feature, it could greatly reduce the difficulty of management and increase the territory’s foundation.

The larger the territory and the longer time was, the more obvious the effects would be over time.

p.r.o.nouncedly, his policy towards the residents during this time had paid off quite a bit.

‘I wonder what kind of characteristic would it be after 100 points? Flying on the spot? Becoming a G.o.d on the spot?’

This extra harvest made him feel cosmic. Richard even ate two extra bowls of food.

After a good sleep, he woke up the next day and saw the excited Karu.

“Lord, the desert bees have already divided their hives…”

Richard enthusiastically went to the Russian olive forest when he heard the old man’s information.

At this time, the Rusian olive forest’s flowering time was at its most prosperous period.

The rainbow-colored flowers were especially bright and heart-captivating in the desert.

The bees’ chirps, which symbolized vitality, made people captives of nature’s glamour.

“Those bees that divided their hives took the initiative to enter the beehives that we placed around them. They’re very obedient.”

Richard smelled the enslaving scent of the flowers and entered the Russian olive forest with Karu.

At this time, countless bees flew in the area where the hives were placed.

The two new hives already had bees whose legs were covered with pollen that crawled back and forth.

When they saw Richard arrive, the bees immediately buzzed and danced around him.

The scene was quite light-hearted.

Richard opened the attributes panel of the new hive.

[Desert Bees Lair]

[Level: Special]

[Queen Bee (Ordinary) — Auxiliary queen, can not be upgraded, but can produce honey at the main hive level.]

[Characteristics: Can produce medium-grade desert honey with a special fragrance. After eating, it can greatly increase the recovery speed of stamina and injuries, and slightly increase the recovery speed of magic power.]

[Number of Bees: Small (Fixed small, unable to expand)]

[Quant.i.ty: A fixed output of 10 units of medium-grade honey per week.]

[Description: A rare-level bee in the desert, extremely rare.]

[Unable to level up. Moreover, the number of bees is fixed, and the output is also fixed…]

The corner of Richard’s mouth grimaced slightly.

Can the reproduction and growth of desert bees only rely on the main hive?

He could not upgrade other queen bees. This undoubtedly limited his idea of the rapid growth of desert honey.

However, it seemed usual. If it was so easy to reproduce, desert bees would not have such an evaluation of extreme rarity.

An elite queen bee could have two subsidiary hives.

Then, could an advanced queen bee have four subsidiary hives?

Richard’s eyebrows slowly relaxed.

He opened the [Trading Market].

His private mailbox received a bunch of private messages. He opened them and saw that the 25 unpoisoned and the three poisoned wargs had all been sold.

He had a total of 340,000 units of resources. With the original resources, he had a total of 360,000 units.

This was indeed a huge sum of money.

But it wasn’t enough for what he wanted to do.

Richard opened the troop lair panel.

The Cursed Pyramid that had recruited the Cursed Pharaoh could be upgraded to rare.

The Axe of the Dead’s wooden house could be upgraded to rare.

The desert bee could also be upgraded to an advanced queen bee.

In this way, he needed 600,000 units of resources to meet the upgrade requirement.

“The landlord family is really poor this time…”

Richard felt helpless with hundreds of thousands of units of resources in his hands.

His rate of earning resources could even be said to be among the top 20 billion lords.

However, his earnings wouldn’t be long before the landlord’s wealth fell into a state of extreme thirst for resources when compared to expenditures.

“The battle axe wooden house needs 500,000 units of resources… We can wait for a while.

“Let’s level up the desert bees and the Cursed Pharaoh first.”

The earlier the bees leveled up, the greater the benefits would be. There was no need to delay.

Richard spent 100,000 units of resources and bought 200 troop lairs.

One hundred were insect troop lairs, and 100 were desert camp troop lairs.

He came to the main hive of the desert honey.

He used up all 100 troop lairs.

After a moment, the attributes of the honeycomb had changed.

[Desert Beehive]

[Level: Special]

[Queen Bee: Advanced (When upgraded to special-level, the hive produces better quality, special desert honey.)]

[Characteristics: Can produce high-quality desert honey with a special aroma. After eating, it can greatly increase the recovery speed of stamina and injuries, and greatly increase the recovery speed of magic power.]

[Number of Bees: Medium]

[Sub-hive: 2 (Can have two elite-level sub-queens. Each sub-queen can have two ordinary-level queens.)]

[Quant.i.ty: A minimum of 15 units of high-quality honey per week (Current available reserves: 15 units)]

[Description: A rare-level bee in the desert. Extremely rare.]

[When the main hive was upgraded to advanced, two sub-queens could be upgraded to elite, and they could have their sub-queens.]

As a result, the number of desert bees did not increase by two more hives as Richard had imagined. Instead, they directly increased by four nests.

As long as the bees could reproduce, he could have seven hives of bees.

If he upgraded to special-level, wouldn’t his performance increase by eight hives of bees?

Moreover, the secondary queens did not need him to upgrade their levels. They would automatically upgrade over time.

In a month at most, he would be able to see the appearance of several other hives of bees.

Richard laughed. So this was the expansion method of desert bees.

His mood improved a bit.

His beekeeping career could be considered on the right track.

He walked out of the Russian olive forest and called over a few staff members.

“The honey from the main hive is ready. Get your equipment and follow me.”

“Yes, Lord.”

They took the honey-gathering equipment they had prepared in advance to the spring and washed it clean. Then, they followed Richard to the front of the hive.

“There are more than ten units of honey in the main hive. You open the bottom of the box and take out the honey.”

After the upgrade, the desert bees were all very smart. Their movements were not stung by the bees.

The hive was made of wood and placed on a wooden shelf. The bottom of the shelf could be opened by pushing and pulling.

When the bottom plate was pulled open, one could see pieces of honeycomb mola.s.ses. The sweet smell burst instantly.

The honeycomb mola.s.ses were now of elite quality. It was a grade higher than the ordinary honey from last time.

Although Richard hadn’t tasted it yet, his saliva secreted uncontrollably.

Who could resist this kind of aroma…

After he took three pieces of sealed honeycomb mola.s.ses, the available reserves of desert honey dropped to zero.

Richard deliberately took a few more glances. These desirable honeycomb mola.s.ses were separated by a certain distance from the old nests of desert bees. And there was a clear distinction between them.

p.r.o.nouncedly, the bees had built them here on purpose.

He nodded in admiration. These bees were really smart.

He turned his head to look at the staff behind him.

“Today is May 12. From now on, every week, you will come and take the honey. Just like today, take the hive honey from the side and don’t touch the bees’ old nest. On the 19th, the next two beehives can also produce new honey. Take it out in the same way. In addition, pack the prepared honeycombs in advance, and the bees will divide their hives later…”

“Yes, Lord.”

After Richard gave instructions, he looked at the honeycombs in the special wooden barrel and could not help but reach out to break a piece.

He stared at it carefully through the sunlight mottled by the leaves.

The honey had been sealed with a thin layer of beeswax on them.

Normally, bees would use this method to preserve the honey after it was brewed.

He pulled out a few filaments of golden honey in the crystal after he took a big bite off a corner.

A sweeter and richer than the ordinary honey exploded in his mouth.

Richard swallowed and was full of praise.

“I feel that the reputation I made up about the Desert Crown Honey is bad. This should be the G.o.d’s grace bestowed to the human world…”

This thing surely had to take the highest route.

“I hope Onyx won’t let me down. The Desert Crown Honey will surely become the pearl of Twilight City.”

At this moment, he could already see large amounts of resources flowing into his pocket.

The landowners were desperate for resources.
