Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 15
Advertisement
Everyone had already noticed where Jack was.
In addition, he made the blacksmiths produce such strange things.
Many people put down their work and gathered around.
Seeing that this strange tool actually had such a miraculous effect, everyone's eyes lit up.
"What kind of tool is this? Why is it so magical?"
"Hah, I've lived for tens of years, but I've never seen this thing before. It's practically a product of God!"
"That's right! Such a magical thing doesn't belong to this world. It must be God. God must have asked the President to give it to us."
"I feel like I've wasted my whole life. If I had this tool, would I not be able to pay back the lord's grains?"
...
Watching Jack and Eugene operate, the butler and the regiment commander could not help but take action as well.
They pulled the rake and worked tirelessly.
They had never felt that farming was such an interesting thing.
After the excitement passed, the results were astonishing.
The land that originally needed seven to eight days to reclaim was completely plowed by the few of them in a short hour.
Everyone handed over their tools for the various officials to distribute.
The butler and regiment commander, who were still excited, could not help but ask, "Mr. President, may I know what kind of existence invented this thing? It's simply amazing."
"That's right. I expect that its creation will completely change the agriculture world."
Listening to them, Jack could not help but smile.
He immediately thought of his original world.
He really did not expect that in that world, tools that had been long forgotten by everyone would have such a huge impact on agriculture!
He was also very emotional now. The farmers back then were such smart people!
It was their intelligence that gave birth to so many great people that completely changed the world!

This sentiment also gave Jack a new perspective on agriculture.
It also strengthened his determination to continue developing it.
After all, having enough food to eat and not worry about the next meal was the foundation for people to invest their energy into other things.
For example, Edison, Newton, Einstein, Hawking, and so on in his previous life. If they did not have enough to eat and could not survive, how could they have created inventions that could change the world?
Jack nodded and sighed, "You're right. The existence of these tools has indeed created a great world. Now, we have to use these tools to create a new world that belongs to us!"
"Mr. President, you're right. With these tools, we'll definitely be able to build our own new world!" Enger's right fist hit his left palm with a bang.
"That's right! This era has changed because of the President. I can't imagine how many people will be saved by your outstanding invention." The butler stroked his beard and said excitedly.
Eugene and the Fox-eared Girl beside him could not help but nod.
Just as everyone was caught in the huge surprise brought by Jack, several people quickly ran towards them.
Before they arrived, they shouted, "Mr. President, Mr. President, we found a very strange plant."
The few of them quickly arrived in front of him. Panting, they said, "Mr. President, there is a strange plant. The wheat on it can emit a faint glow. It gives off a very comfortable smell."
"What?" Hearing the person's words, Jack's eyes lit up.
He had read in books that anything growing on the island was randomized.
If they were lucky, they would be able to find rare items on the island.
From their words, it was very likely that it was a rare treasure.
"Good discovery. What's your name?" Jack asked.

"President, my name is Snike. I'm the leader of this Hunting Squad."
"Very good, Snike. If it's true, you've done a great job! Now, lead the way," Jack said.
"Understood." After saying that, Snike led everyone and rushed over.
The tools had already been arranged.
Now, as long as the blacksmiths continued to work, they could distribute them directly.
After all, the tools were very simple to use and did not require any skills, so Jack did not intend to continue paying attention.
Soon, Snike brought everyone to a place facing the sun.
There were no trees in this area.
There were some strange plants growing in the low-lying areas. Looking from afar, the ears of wheat were indeed shining.
Everyone rushed over and arrived in front of it. Jack immediately activated his Inspection skill.
[Name: Highland Barley (One-star Rare Treasure)]
[Introduction: A mutated breed of barley. It takes 100 days to sow and mature, regardless of season. The yield is extremely low, around 50 kilograms per acre.]
[Note: Highland barley is a variant of barley that has absorbed mysterious substances, so it possesses some mutated characteristics. After using it, it can replenish one's vitality, and long-term use has an extremely high amplification effect on the cultivation of battle aura. It also increases the success rate of a Silver Swordsman's breakthrough.]
Looking at the details given by his Inspection skill, Jack was excited!
It was a rare treasure?
At this moment, he felt like he had been hit by a huge surprise.
According to the book knowledge Jack had read, rare treasures were collectively known as plants, animals, and treasures that had positive magical effects. They were divided into one to nine stars based on their powerful effects.
One-star treasures were relatively ordinary.
But that depended on the situation!
For the current Jack, this one-star treasure was simply tailor-made by the heavens!
One had to know that he had not cultivated battle aura yet.
The battle aura cultivation in this world was very troublesome.
Otherwise, Jack would have learned the method from Eugene.
In order to start cultivating battle aura, one would need at least a Gold Swordsman to plant a battle aura seed for them. Only then would they have the chance to awaken and cultivate battle aura.
Battle aura was something that Jack had always been thinking about.
He had thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but the opportunity was right before him.
As long as he collected these ready-to-use wheat ears, he could make ingredients to help Eugene breakthrough.
Besides, barley could also become his daily food ingredient.
If he slowly changed his physique, the speed of his battle aura cultivation would definitely increase.
It was just that there was little production!
It would take some time to cultivate them.
However, the good thing was that he could produce at least three batches of barley every year. He only needed two or three seasons to grow enough highland barley to be self-sufficient.
Then, Jack looked at the regiment commander and said, "Are there skilled gardeners and farmers among the slaves?"
The regiment commander did not know what Jack wanted to do, but he still nodded. He had already classified the slaves yesterday and could use them anytime.
"Eugene, send a Silver Swordsman to quickly bring people over and let them collect these things. Remember, not a single grain of wheat can be missing, and the harvested stalks cannot be discarded. Collect all of them and send them to my place," Jack patiently instructed.
