Chapter 211: Extreme Pig Farming Exploitation Method!
Under the dual cover of nightfall and mist, a truck sped along the dim and sparse streetlights of a cold, deserted street.
In the distance at the fork in the road, beast howls occasionally sounded, along with eerie shrieks, proving that Running’s night was not as quiet as it appeared on the surface.
Yuan Zhu sped all the way, finally stopping the truck outside the wall closest to his own [Haunted House]. This spot was far from both the main gate and back door of the Villa Area, with not only high walls but also a relatively remote location.
At this time, unless someone came on patrol, whether climbing over the wall or doing something else, it wouldn’t be discovered.
Turn off the engine, get out of the truck.
Yuan Zhu looked around left and right, confirming no pedestrians on this street. Then he eyed the over 3-meter wall, bent his knees forward, lunged out in one stride, accelerated into a leap, then toed the wall for a forceful kick, easily vaulting over and landing on the grass on the other side.
At this moment inside the Villa Area, lights lit up in the windows of buildings in the distance.
His own [Haunted House] was not far away, yet stood isolated and desolate, pitch black, like a black hole that had drained the surrounding light, sound, and even vitality… like a sinister horror ghost house, emanating an aura that made people avoid it, without even insect chirps or frog croaks.
It was one thing for his own place to be dark and empty, but several nearby adjacent villas were also affected, uninhabited to this day, equally pitch black.
Clearly, the notoriously infamous [Evil House] had been sold (the White Feather Association secretly took it over), yet the surrounding neighbors listed their houses for discounted sale on the second-hand market, still untouched by buyers.
Ask and the answer is someone moved in to try living there, then suffered mental exhaustion from being scared, fleeing in panic, and even hospital Holy Light treatment couldn’t cure it.
The former [Haunted House] had an Evil Spirit suppressing inside, essentially a filtering barrier sealing the [Disease Garden], and just a bit of pollution leakage made the residents mentally restless.
The current [Haunted House] had its ‘Evil Spirit’ successfully eradicated by Yuan Zhu, and was transformed into a [Shadow Pollution lair]. It frantically exploited the [Disease Garden], piling ‘Shadow Pollution products’ inside the house.
Though it also had a ‘barrier shielding’ effect, the internally accumulated [Shadow Demonic Creatures] gradually overflowed, making the shielding effect negligible, severely eroding and affecting the surrounding environment.
The most obvious manifestation was terribly bad ‘feng shui’! A proper Yin Fiend Land, where at night passing residents could see ‘shadows’ seemingly coming alive, wriggling and twisting… There had even been bizarre outbreaks of mass deaths of ‘mice, frogs, insects’.
Clearly Yuan Zhu had done a good deed, releasing Eggplant Parasitic Goblins to catch the rampant mice and frogs, bringing them back to use as batteries to burn. But the sudden silence of frog croaks and insect chirps overnight scared the residents.
Too damn quiet! Early in the morning, not seeing a single insect or frog, no bird calls, they thought the entire Residential Area had been muted.
…
At this moment, Yuan Zhu calmly walked toward his own [Haunted House], with no one visible around.
The nearest inhabited villa also blocked the windows facing the [Haunted House] with curtains, not daring to let the sight enter the frame.
Soon, Shadow Magic Worms climbed over the wall, following behind him. Then ‘thud, thud…’ one by one, goblins with black liquid oozing from all seven orifices, bodies controlled by ‘Shadow Tentacles’, stiffly stacked into an Arhat formation, flipped over the wall, crashed straight onto the ground, then shakily stood up and followed.
Giving off a strong sense of Xiangxi corpse driving.
Yuan Zhu, who had originally planned to buy another building to bring his younger brother to live with him, looked at the sinister and eerie Haunted House and couldn’t help shaking his head: “The feng shui in this Residential Area is too poor, not suitable for living.”
Snake Snake agreed: “Exactly, what if the aggrieved owner behind the [Disease Garden] comes knocking, sparking a major battle. In my view, buying a house in a ‘Residential Area’ opposite to this one is the best strategy.”
Yuan Zhu opened the door, and a friendly ‘Shadow fragrance’ hit his face, while alarming the Eggplant Head Ghosts stationed in the [Haunted House], who turned into wriggling shadow masses, emerging from the ceiling, floor, or walls, covered in movable arms all over their bodies, excitedly kneeling and shouting: “Buddha! Buddha! Buddha!”, “Eggplant! Eggplant! Eggplant!”
It was clearly noticeable that after a period of nurturing, their [Pollution Degree] was higher, and they had become stronger.
Snake Snake said regretfully: “Pity their intelligence is still so low, unable to express a complete sentence.”
After over a hundred stiff goblins successively entered the [Haunted House], the door automatically closed, shielding the indoor sounds.
Inside the [Haunted House], the dirty and stinky goblins had multiplied to the point where Yuan Zhu had no place to step. Fortunately, the Eggplant Head Ghosts had been managing and feeding the previous batch of goblins during this time, with rich experience.
Only to see countless Shadow Eggplant Vines emerging from the Haunted House ceiling, directly drilling into the crown of the head of the stiff goblins, constantly twisting into the scalp, then emitting ‘creak creak’ bone drilling sounds, ultimately breaking through the skull, beginning to invade the brain, parasitize flesh, and spread inside the body.
Finally, these Shadow Eggplant Vines exerted force one after another, like slabs of pork hung in a slaughterhouse, hoisted high up, left to instinctively struggle and twitch in pain, freeing up the ground.
Watching over a hundred goblins dragged by countless Shadow Vines, some hung suspended right in front of him. Others, due to lack of space, simply dragged to farther rooms or the second floor, then hung up one by one.
Yuan Zhu couldn’t help praising: “So spectacular!”
In the dark room, before Yuan Zhu, countless goblin corpses violently convulsed, struggled, and shook, inexplicably shocking to the heart.
While the Eggplant Head Ghosts worked diligently, he re-established connection with the [Haunted House]. Then activated the [Boss Template], using the [Soul Program] to receive the ‘territory’ log information from the past few days.
Then he learned that during the days he went to Taixi, no one disturbed the [Haunted House]. The Eggplant Head Ghosts periodically controlled Shadow Magic Worms to enter the [Disease Garden] in turn to feed on ‘pollution’.
Feeding time was strictly limited, with each Magic Worm’s consumption of ‘Disease Pollution’ kept within safe limits, always suppressed by [Shadow Pollution].
Up to today, the first batch of Magic Worms to enter the [Garden] had already rotated two shifts. Still 2/3 of the Shadow Magic Worms had only fed once.
In addition, these orderly entering Magic Worms would automatically harvest and pick ‘Disease System plants’, transporting them back to the [Haunted House] for the weak ‘goblins’ to eat.
The goblins hoarded in the [Haunted House] by Yuan Zhu were too weak, not even Ghost Companions, just temporary flesh flower pots parasitized by Shadow Eggplant Seedlings.
Without [Holy Light Yuan Tianzun] protection, they had no qualification to enter the [Disease Garden]. Once mistakenly entering, forget about crawling on the ground to gnaw a few bites of ‘Disease meat paste’ for strength outburst; instead, a few more breaths of ‘Diseased Air’ would lead to instant death on the spot, reverse polluted and twisted by the [Disease Garden], turning into Demonic Creatures to attack and counter-invade the [Haunted House], escaping the prison to spread ‘Disease Pollution’ in the Residential Area.
With Magic Worms picking food rations, the Eggplant Head Ghosts could control the ‘Shadow Eggplant magic array’ spread throughout the Haunted House to decompose and digest ‘Disease Pollution’, orderly infusing it into the ‘goblins’ bodies.
Even while increasing the goblins’ Pollution Degree, marinating their flesh (with Shadow) to infuse flavor, while extending their lives, even defying fate to change fate!
Similarly, this was also cultivating and improving the fertility of the ‘flesh flower pots (goblins)’, nurturing better Shadow Eggplant plants, a win-win.
After reading this information, Yuan Zhu felt satisfied and praised Snake Snake: “This fully automatic intelligent pig farming system of yours is done pretty well! The Eggplant Head Ghosts did great.”
“Is it the Eggplant Head Ghosts who did well? Clearly it’s the credit of the [Artificial Intelligence management program] I left behind. Eggplant Head Ghosts and Shadow Magic Worms are all brainless tool people. The [Pollution Degree detection system] in their bodies was also laboriously coded by me.”
“Snake Snake is the best!”
Yuan Zhu casually flattered once, making the Spicy Stick immensely joyful.
Making way for the freshly arrived goblins ahead, suspended and being progressively eroded, entwined, and wrapped by Shadow Eggplant Vines, Yuan Zhu, under the active guidance of an Eggplant Ghost, arrived at the rest room next to the first floor living room.
Before he could approach, the room door was opened from inside by a Shadow Eggplant Vine. Standing at the doorway looking in, inside was an indescribable ‘Underworld scenery’.
In less than a week, these originally still-living goblins’ bodies had deeply fused with Shadow Eggplant Seedlings at the flesh level. On each goblin’s head grew a ‘miniature Shadow Eggplant potted plant’, overnourished to the point where every seedling bore black fruit.
Beneath the exposed skin of the goblins, black vein-like Shadow Eggplant Root Tendrils protruded windingly, with intense internal [Shadow Pollution] reaction, yet still maintaining the state of living flesh, not yet ‘Shadow creatures’, but gradually eroded and assimilated by Shadow Pollution, with physiques starting to climb, vitality rebounding in a final glow as ‘Polluted Goblins (Demonic Creatures transformation)’.
At the lower half of each goblin, precisely at the ‘coccyx’ covered by clothes, solid Shadow Eggplant Vines pierced through flesh and skin, like a tail or oil pipeline, connecting to the Eggplant Ghost magic array (Shadow Eggplant network) spread throughout the room.
Snake Snake introduced in a way Yuan Zhu understood: “EVA Unit-01’s charging cable. Each goblin is a ‘flesh flower pot’, nurturing internal ‘Shadow Eggplant’ while these Eggplant Goblins connect to the larger [Shadow Eggplant Plant Network (magic array)], uniformly drawing nutrients from ‘Disease Pollution’ via the [Plant Network].”
This was a network installed with an [Intelligent Farming Program], where Magic Worms harvested ‘Disease Plants’, Eggplant Head Ghosts absorbed and decomposed the pollution, then evenly fed it to every ‘flesh flower pot’ through the [Network].
Ensuring the Shadow Pollution inside Eggplant Goblins always suppressed and absorbed Disease Pollution, while accelerating erosion mutation, and inducing massive Shadow Eggplant production.
“This is the [Ultimate Farming Exploitation Method]!”
Yuan Zhu: “Great! It’s practically the Underworld goblin version of ‘cordyceps’, should call it [Winter Goblin Summer Eggplant]?”
In this rest room, Snake Snake’s preset [Ultimate Pig Farming Method] pursued maximum profit without keeping Eggplant Goblins in ‘awakened’ state with rational and thinking activation.
After all, the [Haunted House]’s space was limited, and it also needed to store Shadow Magic Worms; if letting goblins awaken and move freely, the noise would inevitably attract the Residential Area property management’s attention.
Thus, nearly a hundred Eggplant Goblins were evenly arranged in different rooms, maintained in minimum energy consumption state, entering hibernation mode.
At this moment, large numbers of Eggplant Goblins in the form of [flesh cocoons] wrapped in plant exteriors were suspended mid-air in the rest room, connected to the exposed Plant Network on the ceiling.
At the same time, many ‘goblin flesh cocoons’ were embedded in the walls, surrounded by vein-like Shadow tissue crawling over, delivering nutrients, letting plants laden with ‘black little tomatoes’ grow by breaking out of the cocoons.
Similarly, on the decayed wooden floor, ‘curled goblins’ resembling ‘alien eggs’ stood upright, with lush Shadow Eggplant Seedlings growing at their protruding head positions.
The entire rest room’s style was extremely eerie and creepy, yet inexplicably full of vitality. The Shadow Pollution inside each Eggplant Goblin was fully marinated, starkly different from the currently struggling ‘fresh goblins’.
Snake Snake said proudly: “This is just one of the model farming spots; other floors’ bedrooms, storage rooms, toilets… all have similar styles. With energy-saving, high-yield, and maximum space utilization as the principle, rational farming management is carried out. As long as they don’t awaken, accommodating another hundred or so would barely be feasible!”
The current [Haunted House] still had many rooms occupied and dominated by dormant Shadow Magic Worms. Remaining space was scarce, but Snake Snake was confident it could still maximally accommodate this batch of 120 ‘crippled goblins’.
Truly a model of ‘sinister Demon’s Den + thrifty housekeeping’.
Yuan Zhu couldn’t help praising: “Awesome! For this wave, I give you 92 points! The remaining 18 points will be returned in the form of 666.”
“It’s all thanks to Boss’s excellent cultivation, giving me a chance to perform, leading to today’s results. This 92 points is all your credit. I just need to cheer 666 on the side!”
Yuan Zhu couldn’t help shouting: “666!”
Then he changed tone: “However, no need for extreme farming. I originally designed Eggplant Goblins as non-eating, non-drinking, 24-hour tireless, half plant person cheap labor. Didn’t expect Lu Rang’s business to boom so much, continuously bursting warehouses. Since that’s the case… better to harvest a batch of Eggplant Goblins.”
Snake Snake asked curiously: “How do you plan to harvest? Such good cheap labor shouldn’t be squeezed dry of the last vitality, then waste recycled?”
“But the Farming Facility hasn’t been established yet, when will it be their turn to take the stage? Moreover, the carriers for your [Artificial Stupidity Program, Ultimate Pig Farming Program] are all Brain Eggplants, right? I find Brain Eggplants to be the most valuable, able to carry ‘dataized programs’, even possibly linking with Meng Xi’s [Skull Server].”
Snake Snake: “You’re planning to harvest a batch of Brain Eggplants?”
Yuan Zhu nodded: “Correct, a single Eggplant Goblin is perfect 24-hour cheap labor, but has a fatal flaw: brainless! Though goblins are ‘half-intelligent life’, cultivating their work experience costs too much. Better to refine them into Brain Eggplants, input ‘work skills’, treat as external brains to instantly gain work skills. Plus, squeeze dry one, replace with a new Brain Eggplant, continuously optimize and accumulate experience; each Brain Eggplant becomes a super skilled worker, while Eggplant Goblins are just replaceable flesh plugins!”
Snake Snake: “Genius! You’re the best! How many do you plan to harvest?”
Yuan Zhu: “Feed them Shadow Eggplants to alienate the brain, then throw into [Universe Within The Belly] to activate Ghost Companion refinement. First batch, 50! Anyway, there’s still time before establishing the factory, simply refine all recovered goblins into Brain Eggplants. In the future, we’ll continuously acquire sick and weak goblins, we should maximally harvest the [Disease Garden]! Time waits for no one, if the aggrieved owner returns, we can only flee. Convert all resources into portable Brain Eggplants, that’s the best strategy.”
Snake Snake: “We can also stock another batch of [Shadow Memory Sticks]!”
“Mm, you decide.”
