Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 252 is the milk I just squeezed...

"Today's harvest is good. I'll give it a little boost. Later, you and Xiaoyu come over and transplant the newly sprouted seedlings to the plantation. In a few days, they'll be ready to go and be sold."

Xiao Yu used his catalytic power to catalyze the sweet potatoes, peanuts, and Jerusalem artichokes.

The yields of sweet potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes are both outrageous, especially Jerusalem artichokes.

According to Xiao Yu's estimate, tens of thousands of seeds could be produced in less than ten days.

In a month at most, it can surpass the planting scale of all vegetables such as corn, tomatoes, and cabbage.

Even if it exceeds the total amount of all vegetables, it won't last more than three months.

In comparison, peanut production is only average.

Even with the catalytic effect of luminescent materials, the yield per mu (unit of land area) can only reach a maximum of about 1,000 jin (unit of weight).

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" At this moment, a chattering, excited voice rang out.

Then, Xiao Yu and the other person saw a figure in blue skipping and hopping out.

Who else could it be but Xinglan, the girl with long, light blue hair?

"Sister and brother-in-law! What are you busy with? Look!" As soon as Xinglan ran out, she excitedly grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and shook it twice, indicating that he should look at the glass in her hand.

Ever since she discovered that Brother Yu and Sister were together this morning, Xinglan has changed how she addresses them.

But... I don't know what's wrong with this girl?

If it were any other girl, she might have been more polite to Xiao Yu.

The little girl became even more attached to Xiao Yu, and there was a strange light in her eyes.

"what is this?"

Xiao Yu glanced at the crystal glass in the girl's hand. It contained a milky white liquid that emitted a milky fragrance. He couldn't help but look at the blue-haired girl before him. Could this be...?

"Hehe! It's milk I just squeezed..."

Xinglan chuckled and explained with a smug smile, "Didn't you ask me to research new drinks with Xiaocao? I found some milk from a cow, could you help me freeze it?"

"Oh." Xiao Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Previously, he said that he had drunk too much plain milk and found it too cloying, so he wanted to try something new.

So I told Xinglan about my idea and also shared some tips on how to make the drinks.

Xinglan immediately pulled Xiaocao along and started studying it.

It seems that some progress has been made.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu took the cup and activated his ice elemental power.

The entire glass began to freeze; the originally milky white liquid instantly turned into ice.

And just like that, an ice cream from another world was made!

"Brother-in-law, try it first and see how it tastes?" Seeing that the milk had frozen, Xinglan scooped up a spoonful and held it to Xiao Yu's lips, her face full of anticipation.

This ice cream was made according to my brother-in-law's instructions.

The raw materials are milk, egg yolks, honey, and mulberries, etc.

The first bite should naturally be given to my brother-in-law to taste.

"Okay!" Xiao Yu glanced at Hong Lian, who looked helpless, and opened his mouth to accept the answer with a smile.

Upon tasting the first bite, his eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Great! The taste deserves a 9 out of 10!"

This ice cream tastes absolutely delicious.

It's not that Xinglan is particularly outstanding.

The main ingredients are milk, eggs, and mulberries, all of which are top-quality.

"Sister and brother-in-law, there's also ice cream and Bodhi milk tea!"

"Hmm, you put too much honey in the ice cream. Use less next time. You shouldn't put too much regular tea..."

Upon receiving Xiao Yu's praise, Xing Lan immediately took out several other delicacies and cold drinks.

These past few days, my sister has gradually become less busy.

My sister is no longer as busy as a spinning top, so she naturally starts to have more free time.

So, following Xiao Yu's advice, they began researching all sorts of delicious food and drinks.

After tasting them, Xiao Yu commented on each one and offered some guidance.

"Xinglan, your fruit drinks are really good. Have you considered opening a fruit drink shop?" Xiao Yu thought that many people used to go to the food court just to have fruit drinks.

That's perfect, there aren't enough shops on the commercial street yet.

If you open a fruit drink shop on a commercial street, the business will definitely be good.

"It seems like it could work!"

The blue-haired girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up.

Opening a store will help Brother Yu earn more energy stones.

"Let's go shopping in the commercial street. I'll pick out a shop for you," Xiao Yu suggested with a smile.

He had been too busy before, and as the city lord, he hadn't visited the commercial street in a long time.

We'll arrive at the City of Beasts tomorrow, and the employees of various shops on the commercial street are gradually taking their places.

I'll take this opportunity to go and check it out, and while I'm at it, I'll help Xinglan renovate her shop.

"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law!"

Next, the three of them walked at a leisurely pace toward the commercial street in the outer city.

"Hello, Lord City Lord!"

As they passed the training ground, Chen Long was leading a training session. Upon seeing Xiao Yu, he immediately stopped and saluted.

"Yes, well done! Keep it up!" Xiao Yu returned the greeting with a smile and praised him.

Originally, most warriors were at level 0 or level 1 or 2 when they first joined, and their strength was very low.

However, so much time has passed, and after numerous hunts, battles, and so on...

The soldiers earned a lot of merit points, with even the most ordinary soldiers earning one or two thousand points.

With a large number of merit points at hand, and the regular Night Dew benefits bestowed by the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone's three meals a day consist of the meat of ferocious beasts, and their physiques are rapidly strengthening and transforming.

In addition, low-level enhancement herbs are quick to cultivate, so level 1-3 enhancement herbs are naturally cheaper.

Therefore, the soldiers' strength improved very quickly.

There are five people at the fifth rank alone: ​​Chenlong, Zhangshan, Li Si, Wang Wu, and Zhao Liu.

There are currently 28 fourth-tier powerhouses in Dragon City who can serve as leaders of a small force!

There are 88 level three experts!

Tier 2, 37 people!

And there are only 6 people in the first tier!

These are currently at the first level, a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys who have been too well protected by the other veterans. They want them to hone their skills at the bottom for a longer period of time so that their advancement will be relatively slower.

The other hundred or so were already seasoned veterans of countless battles.

Although there were only a little over a hundred warriors in Dragon City.

However... each of them has a very deep foundation.

With the addition of the tattoo, his strength has increased dramatically once again.

Now, any warrior can easily take on several opponents of the same level.

These more than one hundred people are equivalent to several hundred people!

"By the way, brother, the salt mine you got has already started refining. Do you want to go take a look?" At this moment, the three of them passed by the huge salt mine. Honglian pointed to a newly built three-story building next to the salt mine and said.

“Yes, let’s go take a look.” Xiao Yu was also very interested in the salt mine and nodded in agreement.

This building is the workshop he built to refine salt.

In ancient times, salt was almost the cheapest daily necessity.

However... in the wasteland era, the value of salt far exceeds that of vegetables and fruits.

So... this salt mine, worth tens of millions, is not only consumed by Longcheng itself, but a small amount can also be sold.

Although, Dragon City did acquire a huge salt mine.

However... it's not easy to refine it into edible salt.

However... things are different in Dragon City because of the slimes.
