Capítulo 12: Great Change
Yaoshen carefully watched A'gan, Edward and Aziz who were kneeling down in front of him. The three people all appeared to be between the ages of 20 and 30 years old who looked elder than their actual ages.
A'gan was black with thick lips. Even his hair was black. Edward was white with stout limbs, giving him a strong build and appearance. Azia was a bit delicate with curled hair, who looked a bit younger than the other two people. They all wore common linen undershirts and looked like farming servants in manors.
Compared to Heavenia whose look made others intoxicated, the three people looked a bit more like commoners. Therefore, Yaoshen slightly released a sigh of relief.
"What were you doing just now?" Yaoshen asked.
"We were hoeing. Steward Heavenia instructed us to reclaim a good field of 60 mu(1 mu is equal to 666.66 square meters. 60 mu is equal to 40000 square meters) in the Castle of Black Iron." The three replied in unison showing that they have been well trained.
"Can you till the land?"
"Of course!" The three answered in unison once again.
"With the exception of this, what else can you do?"
"We've have many skills that can be used!" The three answered in unison for the third time.
"I'm also a carpenter and mason. I'm good at building houses!" A'gan answered firstly.
"I'm also blacksmith and cook. I can make delicious food and create items!" Edward answered.
"I can look after flowers, grasses and livestock. I can also brew various alcohols!" Aziz answered.
Well, I'm a land lord now. Hearing the three spirit servants' answers, Yaoshen felt that the Castle of Black Iron was becoming more like a manor. He was the lord; Heavenia was the steward. He also had his spirit servants. But this was also great, at least he didn't have to till land any more when he is going to plant seeds here.
Yaoshen waved his hand and they went back to work.
"So you need to eat right?"
"Yes Castle lord. We also need to consume food and have proper rest. Our living and energy receiving patterns are no different from those of people in your world. By the way castle lord do you have any idea or planning to get any material?"
"Why?"
"I've got a plan. If you agree to my plan, I will greatly change the Castle of Black Iron. We still haven't done anything yet to it."
"Whats the plan?"
"The first step was to create a self-sufficient supply of food in the Castle of Black Iron and reclaim 60 mu of farmable field.
The second was to develop the all-round forestry in the Castle of Black Iron. He wanted to the Castle of Black Iron to produce at least 5000 points of aura value a day, several times more than before.
The third step was to form a fresh water lake of more than 100 mu and a wetland of above 100 mu, aiming to build a three-dimensional ecosystem that was more suitable to the survival of species inside.
The fourth step was to build a real castle inside which matched Yaoshen's status——aside from the small tree, the place is barren."
"Okay just ask System for the material you need. I also got enough basic energy storage for it."
"Oh you're right Castle Lord. This system thing has combined with Castle of Black Iron so I can use it too, right Castle Lord?"
"Yeah, but ask my permission if you want to buy anything. Oh and you can buy the material you need but don't go over the budget. You can also buy the seeds. The System Store practically have anything in it. I also want to see the work of A'gan, Edward and Aziz too."
"Yes Castle Lord. We will not let you down."
"I will be going out now, as it is nearing sunrise. See you later"
"See you later too Castle Lord"

The next day went as usual. After school he returned home at.
His brother, Zhang Yang was home today and gave him some new clothing. Yaoshen was moved to tear because his family is not rich and cannot afford thing like this. He also told something about Red-Scarf Burglar Group and whatnot.
He went to the Castle of the Black Iron and was surprised.
The Castle of Black Iron went a major change. There was a big lake at the side. There was a mountain as high as 300 m in the center of Castle of Black Iron. The small tree was at the top of the mountain
There was a flight of natural, golden stone stages from the top of the mountain all the way to its foot. The tidy and broad stages looked pretty magnificent.
The foot of the mountain was surrounded by a black abyss. After innovation, the former Pool of Chaos turned into a moat. The Pool of Chaos became the River of Chaos.
There was a spring originated from the top of the mountain. After passing by the halfway of the mountain, it turned into a fine waterfall and finally fell into the River of Chaos. This formed a complete circulation of energy and materials.
Right above the River of Chaos was a natural, golden bridge being linked to the golden stages. It was the only tunnel from the outside to the top of the mountain. In Heavenia's words, without Yaoshen's consent, nobody could pass by the River of Chaos through that bridge in Castle of Black Iron. Anybody who wanted to pass through that bridge would be rejected by the basic principles in Castle of Black Iron; they would fall into the River of Chaos and be decomposed into the most basic energy particles.
Yaoshen went to the small tree by passing through the golden bridge. Heavenia was at his side walking with him.
"Heavenia, I think the mountain is to small. we should make it bigger. Didn't I have an enormous amount of resource?"
"Castle Lord, I was just making a test. If you want to make change, we can make it at the top of mountain."
"Hmm. Call the other three too."
"All right Castle Lord"
The two of them arrived at the small tree. Shortly after Agan, Edward and Aziz arrived.
"Have you make the latest space and topographic renovation map?"
"Yes, Castle Lord"
"Show me"
Heavenia waved her hand while a huge three-dimensional vertical image appeared in front of Yaoshen.
"We should make the place much bigger then. How about making the mountain taller and we can increase the earth crust thickness. How thick is the earth crust we have right now?"
"It is 800 m thick right now."
"Make it 5000 km thick and make an ocean. The size would be... 10000 sq km? Hmm, that works too."
"Castle Lord, it's good to make it like that. The Castle of Black Iron would form certain mineral vein naturally."
"That's great! Oh and do you guys need something to" said Yaoshen toward Agan, Edward and Aziz
"My lord, can you create a smithing workshop for me this time?" Edward asked with a big smile on Yaoshen's side.
"You want a smithing workshop?" Yaoshen glanced at Edward with a dumbfounded look.
"Yup, with a smithing workshop, I will be able to produce all sorts of instruments for you, my lord!"
Yaoshen threw a glance at Heavenia, "Can we?"
"Yes, it only requires a bit basic energy storage. We can layout an independent space at the bottom of the immortal mountain which could serve as Edward's smithing workshop while making some high-temperature fires." Heavenia nodded as he made a slight adjustment on the three-dimensional map. Closely after that, a tidy space appeared inside the immortal mountain, which was further divided into many isolated and inter-linked cells. Besides, there were dozens of fires on the ground in that space.
Watching this, Edward smiled in a satisfied manner.
"My lord, I need a cellar and some wine vats in the hinterland of the immortal mountain. With them, I can brew all sorts of palatable drinkings for you." Aziz opened his mouth.
Yaoshen threw another glance at Heavenia, "We should treat them fairly, just make them for Aziz."
Heavenia the made another slight adjustment on a position of the immortal mountain. As a result, a mountain-cave sized cellar and hundreds of huge wine vats appeared on the map. Covering an area of over 20 sq km, the cellar was further divided into many layers. Aziz was so happy at the sight of that. Even Yaoshen was shocked by such an adjustment.
"Hmm? you need such a wide area?"
"Yes, we do, we do!" Aziz interrupted Yaoshen. "My lord, when you have a great undertaking, you will definitely find this cellar useful."
Agan was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands on one side. "My lord, can you build a stone mountain outside the immortal mountain. It can better provide sufficient architecture stones for me. There're not even a stone in Castle of Black Iron now."
Before Yaoshen uttered, Heavenia had already pointed on the map while an undulating bald hill appeared.
"There're blue stones, marble stones, granite, China granite and obsidian on this hill, which are available to build some cities."
"Thank you, thank you!" Agan's eyes gleamed as he started to stammer. Yaoshen also couldn't help but laugh out loud, 'How cute they are!'
"Oh, Heavenia make me a place too. Make it here."
Yaoshen the chose a place somewhere beside a snowy peak which was 10 sq km vast
"Do you have other requests on the palace, such as exteriors?"
"At your will." Yaoshen said casually.
Heavenia then pointed at the place where Yaoshen had selected while a tall building that occupied a wide area appeared on the three-dimensional map, the tallest of which was higher than 200 m.
Yaoshen face twitched. Why the hell did you spawn a tree? Many places in the tree like structure were unimaginable. Even before the Catastrophe, humans could never build such a delicate tall building. Yaoshen look at Heavenia with questioning gaze.
"Won't it break down if you make it like this?"
"If it was a concrete building, it would collapse for sure as it didn't correspond to the structure of building mechanics. However, it's not a building precisely, it's a tree!"
"A tree?"
"This is a palace tree. It's made of special silicon-based lifeform. The Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree could produce the seed of a palace tree, which consumes more basic energy storage, merit values, and aura values than are required to build a real palace complex. However, this palace tree has an advantage, it could constantly grow and expand its space and land. After inputting the basic energy storage, merit values, and aura values once in growing it, we don't need to input other resources or build other buildings even as the population of residents increases. Such a palace tree is very suitable to the living of humans!"
"Oh~ I see. Well, let's grow this palace tree then!"
"My lord, please have the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree produce the seed of a palace tree."
Yaoshen opened the management panel of Castle of Black Iron when he indeed saw the sub-option "Production of Seed of Palace Tree" under the option "Production of special seed and fruit of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree". At the sight of the resources that it required, Yaoshen didn't even twitch his eyebrow 'Cheap!'. However, Yaoshen felt very happy the moment he thought that he could live in such an exotic silicon-based lifeform. Additionally, he only needed to input resources one time. Therefore, Yaoshen pressed the button.
——My lord, Do you want to produce the seed of a palace tree, Yes or No?
——Yes...No...
——Yes!
Soon after pressing the "Yes" button, Yaoshen felt that the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree on his side was radiating a yellowish luster. Each leaf and twig of the small tree was giving out light. At the same time, the tree leaves were rubbing each other, causing a sound as euphonious as that of an organ
After a few minutes, the small tree's luster disappeared while a pineapple-sized seed was hanging over the small tree.
Yaoshen walked to the front of the small tree and picked off the very seed from the small tree.
Holding the seed, Yaoshen felt like holding a heavy stone. After gazing at it for quite a while, Yaoshen didn't see any relation between this pineapple-sized seed and that palace tree in the three-dimensional map.
With one more partner and citizen, Yaoshen felt that the small tree was very happy. Yaoshen came to Heavenia's side with that seed in hand.
"What do I do now?" Yaoshen asked Heavenia.
"Just give it to me, my lord!"
Yaoshen then handed the seed to Heavenia.
"Do you have any other requests, my lord?"
"How about you make a mountain spring at the castle and somewhere around here then.
"My lord, do you want to promote to quality mountain spring to a Class A aura mountain spring?"
"All right just do it. I already spent so much"
