Chapter 185: An A-Level Extraordinary Fish Pond! Terrifying Extraordinary Traits! This Upgrade Hits the Spot!

[Card Type: Ability Card · Building Upgrade Card]

[Rating: A-Level]

[Description: Can be used on any building below A-Level to raise its level by one. The building’s effects will change accordingly.]

Chen Chong’s heart leaped with joy at the sight.

’Just as I thought,’ he mused. ’This Card is for upgrading buildings.’

’I can’t believe it. Besides abilities used on living things, there are also Ability Cards for buildings...’

Chen Chong was both shocked and delighted.

The effect of this Card was absolutely groundbreaking.

In some ways, it was even more valuable than a typical Ability Card.

He immediately looked around at the buildings inside his house, wondering which one he should upgrade.

’Since the Building Upgrade Card can be used on any building below A-Level, it’s obviously most cost-effective to use it on a B-Level building. I can’t possibly use it on a D-Class or C-Class one, right?’

’That would be a huge waste...’

’Besides, there’s a major watershed between A-Level architecture and everything below it. Once a building reaches that level, it gains Extraordinary Traits and becomes an Extraordinary Architecture.’

Unless he’d completely lost his mind, there was no way Chen Chong would use the Upgrade Card on a C-Class or D-Class building.

As for B-Level buildings, he had a very limited number at home.

A B-Level Grassland, a B-Level enclosure, a B-Level fish pond, a B-Level farmland, a B-Level incubator...

Of course, Extraordinary Weapons and Extraordinary Artifacts weren’t included in this list.

Chen Chong fell into deep thought, deliberating which B-Level building to use the Building Upgrade Card on.

The farmland was clearly not an option.

For one, he already had an A-Level Extraordinary Farmland. Secondly, the crops he needed to plant at the moment hadn’t reached a point where he was short on farmland.

His current number and level of farmlands were more than enough.

If rice could be planted in the farmland, Chen Chong might have considered using the Upgrade Card on it. After all, that crop was of the utmost importance.

But rice could only grow in paddy fields, and his paddy fields were too low-level to qualify for this Ability Card.

So, Chen Chong immediately dismissed the idea of upgrading the farmland.

His gaze then shifted to the incubator...

Although the incubator was also from a B-Level Card, its current role in the house wasn’t that important.

Aside from hatching the Rock Armor Eagle’s egg at the very beginning, it was only used to hatch some wild pheasant and duck eggs.

Using the Upgrade Card on this building would be far too extravagant.

So... Chen Chong ruled out the incubator as well.

The same went for the Grassland. Although its current output was struggling to keep up after the addition of the wild goats and deer, and the growth-accelerating effect of the grass it produced was highly beneficial for both the livestock and the aquatic life in the mud pond and fish pond...

But to be honest, it was more like icing on the cake. Even without it, the growth rate of his various creatures was already quite impressive.

Although Chen Chong did want to get another Grassland Card and was curious to see what traits an A-Level Extraordinary Grassland would have, it still wasn’t his first choice.

That only left the enclosure and the fish pond....

At this point, Chen Chong started to feel conflicted.

Both the enclosure and the fish pond were crucial buildings for his current situation.

The B-Level enclosure was a decent size and had a significant growth-accelerating effect on the creatures inside. But since acquiring the wild goats and deer, it had become a bit crowded and was in urgent need of expansion.

If he used the Upgrade Card on the enclosure, his current predicament would obviously be alleviated.

Not only would it give them a more spacious living environment, but he could also go out and capture new wild goats, deer, or even other domesticable creatures to raise together.

’Plus, the Extraordinary Trait I’d get might be even more useful for domesticating and breeding livestock.’

However, after some internal debate, Chen Chong walked over to the fish pond...

That’s right. He hadn’t chosen to use the Upgrade Card on the enclosure; he planned to use it on the fish pond instead.

There was a simple reason for this. The fish in the pond were just as important as the livestock in the enclosure.

But the fish pond had an advantage the enclosure couldn’t match: almost any fish he caught, with the exception of carnivorous ones, could be thrown into it.

As for the enclosure, while he was currently raising the wild goats and deer together, Chen Chong knew this kind of mixed farming wasn’t scientifically sound for proper animal husbandry.

He was only doing it out of necessity.

There simply wasn’t enough space.

The wild pheasants and ducks were also being raised together in another, lower-level enclosure.

’If I upgrade the enclosure to A-Level, the area will be large enough, and I’ll be able to capture more wild goats, deer, or even other creatures. But it would still be just one enclosure, not two.’

’If I just keep stuffing different species into one enclosure, the close contact between the groups will cause them stress, which would have a major negative impact on long-term breeding.’

Therefore, compared to upgrading the B-Level enclosure to an A-Level one, what he needed more urgently was another, separate enclosure.

He needed to separate the wild goats, deer, pheasants, and ducks first.

Each enclosure would be dedicated to raising a single type of animal.

Chen Chong’s current stance on enclosures was that quantity was far more important than quality.

The fish pond, on the other hand, was a different story.

The value of the fish was in no way inferior to animals like the wild deer, wild goats, or pheasants.

Furthermore, all filter-feeding and herbivorous fish could be raised together, making them far less trouble to care for than livestock.
