Season 4: Chapter 92. Giant Merchant (2)
“People have been looking for Fertile Soil.”
Two moderators, Camembert and Mozzarella, strolled through the village.
“Yeah, I heard Walnut might’ve tipped them off.”
“Hm. Not that they’ll find any. It’s not out there.”
“Right, you have to make it. Some of them seem to think it’s just hidden somewhere, especially Bubblegum and Acorn Jelly.”
Camembert scoffed and chuckled. “Of course, it’s them. Those two are the laziest ones here.”
Mozzarella giggled. “Exactly. They just don’t want to go through the hassle of crafting it. They think they can just stumble on it somewhere. Ugh. Even if someone started working on it now, it wouldn’t show up until at least Day 5.”
“And that’s the fastest case. We tuned the balance so it wouldn’t appear too early. It’d be totally busted. Just one block of that stuff is basically useless.”
“Right, you’d need at least forty to fifty blocks before you can call it a proper farm.”
“Even with that much... you’d instantly become the richest farmer in the village.”
Forty to fifty blocks of Fertile Soil yielded the same as nearly five hundred blocks of regular soil. Plus, with all that saved land cost, the economic value was off the charts. No way they’d let something like that appear on Day 1. From the moderators’ perspective, Bubblegum and Acorn Jelly were being completely delusional.
“Maybe they’re just putting on a show for the viewers.”
