Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1186 - 662: The Value That Fish-Grass Can Create

The price of Styrak Bush, even though high, is relatively limited. One Gold Coin can buy half a basket because it is not particularly picky about its growing environment. It can be found by rivers and lakes, especially around Wyvern Lake (also known as Long Arm Lake, named for its resemblance to an adult’s arm) in Komeer Kingdom. There is a large output used as fish feed for Wyvern Lake, earning it the reputation of ’Mother Lake’ among the Komeer People. It is said that half of the Komeer population grew up eating fish from this lake, including some distant northern villages far from the lake.

"I am planning to start an aquaculture business in Tun Marsh and we will need a large amount of Styrak Bush. Handibur, who has been living here, has studied Styrak Bush for many years. The variety he developed not only has excellent quality but is also easier to store for long periods. It increasingly enhances the attractiveness to fish, and when mixed into fodder, I believe it can produce better fish feed," Gaven stated truthfully, though he didn’t disclose everything. Another part he couldn’t share with the Crown Princess, as it involved setting up processing factories, which are considered commercial secrets, once leaked, they become worthless.

"I thought you’ve never been here before? How do you know about Handibur?" the Crown Princess asked suspiciously. Gaven had never ventured deep into Komeer Kingdom, yet some of his knowledge seemed to surpass even that of the kingdom’s heir apparent.

"I just read the latest volume of ’Valo’s Travels,’ which is about Komeer Kingdom. It mentions this matter, and it refers to Handibur as the father of aquaculture. Many fish farms on the Giant Dragon Coast have benefited from the new varieties of Styrak Bush he cultivated," Gaven unabashedly credited Valo, as his book was bound to be widely published sooner or later, surely getting blacklisted by the Komeer side.

"That long-nosed bad Mage? Is he really going to publish a travelogue about Komeer?" The perfect smile disappeared from the Crown Princess’s beautiful face, and lines of frustration appeared on her pale forehead. Clearly, she not only knew Valo but also had an extremely poor impression of him. The so-called ’long-nosed’ was definitely not describing his appearance, but his bad habit of snooping around, gathering information.

His earlier published travelogues about Waterdeep City and the Northern Lands had already tarnished his reputation, disliked by many who preferred their secrets kept, even hated by some, including Tainalasta.

"He’s not planning on publishing; he’s already done it. It’s just undergoing further editing. By next year, it will be massively printed in Waterdeep City," Gaven honestly replied.

"Where did the General see it? Can you lend it to me?" The Crown Princess didn’t want an early peek for sheer curiosity but aimed to find and fill any gaps, ensuring that not too many of Komeer’s secrets were exposed.

"Sorry, I borrowed it from a friend and already returned it, but I memorized the content. When I have time, I can share it with Your Majesty," Gaven tactfully delayed. While the Crown Princess could view it and interpret things differently from him, he still needed to be cautious and stall as long as possible, extracting all the benefits from the book. If the Crown Princess managed to get her hands on an internal version through other means and had a strong enough ability, there was nothing he could do, except hope she doesn’t think as broadly as he does.

"Let’s talk about this matter later; your visitor has arrived." Just a second before the outsider appeared, the flawless smile once again graced the Crown Princess’s face, ever ready to show only her best side to the Komeer People.

"Your... Your... Your Highness," a dark-faced, muscular middle-aged man knelt before Tainalasta, stammering out only a term of respect.

This man was none other than Handibur, whom Gaven referred to as the father of fish farming.

Although Hilpur Town wasn’t considered the most remote town in Komeer Kingdom, it was close to that, being only eighty kilometers from High Corner Fort and over two hundred kilometers from the Royal Capital, Susar.

Handibur truly gained fame after ’Valo’s Travels through Komeer’ became a bestseller. Currently, he’s merely somewhat well-known among some fish farmers and merchants, his Druid Profession Level still below Transcendent.

Being suddenly summoned by the heir of Komeer Kingdom, he naturally was too excited to speak, as the difference in their status was stark.

"Please, stand up. Mr. Handibur, don’t be nervous. We’ve heard of your unique expertise in cultivating Styrak Bush. General Gaven would like to collaborate with you on this matter. You two can discuss the specifics yourselves, I won’t participate too much," the Crown Princess said in an unusually gentle voice.

Tainalasta was well aware of her intimidating influence on ordinary Komeer People, and her presence would severely affect the judgment of the Druid in front of her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Handibur seemed to recover a bit, as a Professional, although not Transcendent, his self-control was far stronger than ordinary people. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Your Majesty, if you wish, you can also participate personally in this venture. We could jointly establish a shareholding processing factory," Gaven certainly didn’t let slip the excellent opportunity to tie the Crown Princess to his war chariot.

"Oh? A shareholding processing plant? What do you mean by that?" The Crown Princess showed real interest in the new term Gaven mentioned, not that she wasn’t interested in money, but she simply wondered what sort of significance a common Styrak Bush could truly hold.
