Chapter 68: The City of Miracles

Zhuang Yu watched as the berry seedlings and flower seedlings he planted on the other side of the Crimson Great City grew rapidly, reaching up to the height of his shins in no time.

Little Mushroom patrolled every day with its legs up because Yu said it could eat as many berries as it wanted in the future. Just the thought of it made Little Mushroom's face light up with joy.

Zhuang Yu began arranging for people to transplant these small seedlings. First were the berry trees, and each seedling was transplanted to both sides of the river. Many people from the Crimson Great City came to help with the transplantation, mainly women and the elderly. This wasn't particularly tiring work, so even the elderly could lend a hand.

Being able to help construct the Crimson Great City according to Zhuang Yu's requirements made the faces of these elderly people shine brighter than chrysanthemums.

After each segment of the riverbank was planted with a tree seedling at intervals, the originally bare riverbanks seemed to have changed.

They gained a lot more vitality.

The foreign merchants were utterly shocked. Did the people of the Crimson Great City want to plant trees in the desert? This idea was simply absurd. If others told them, they probably wouldn't believe it at first. But seeing the rows of seedlings extending along both sides of the river, they couldn't help but admit it was true.

In everyone's mind, there appeared such a scene: in the desert, a river encircled the city, shaded by green trees. Leaves fluttered in the wind, and fishing boats occasionally drifted by in the river.

This was in the desert. If those who had never been to the Crimson Great City suddenly saw this, they might think they had entered a mythical land.

If planting trees along the riverbanks alone was astonishing enough, the flower beds planned by Zhuang Yu were truly beyond imagination.

Zhuang Yu planned the flower beds into small squares, with each square planted with the same type of flower.

Currently, they were still green seedlings. Even without blooming flowers, they were already marveling at the sight.

Such orderly squares of land were something they had never seen before. Coupled with the charm of green plants, it looked incredibly beautiful.

People in this world had never seen city environmental planning before, so they were all amazed by the unique construction of the Crimson Great City.

The unique and unseen beauty of the Crimson Great City's construction attracted everyone's attention.

The flower beds grew larger and larger, with more and more flower seedlings transplanted every day. Eventually, all they could see were patches of greenery.

To have so many flower seedlings was thanks to the foreign merchants, who sent batches of flower seeds almost every day.

Such greenery formed a huge circle, surrounding the Crimson Great City like a green jade belt. Compared to the bustling seedlings along both sides of the riverbanks, the flower beds were different, resembling a green ribbon.

The people of the Crimson Great City now loved to climb the city walls and gaze at the green ribbon outside. Those interested would even leave the city to stroll along the riverbank.

While transplanting the flower seedlings, Zhuang Yu unexpectedly discovered some pleasant surprises among the flower seeds. There were quite a few lotus seeds among them.

These were lotus flowers, not only beautiful when planted in the river but also providing lotus roots and lotus seeds to eat.

Just imagine, sailing in a boat, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers, plucking a few lotus seeds-it would be so comfortable. If there was time, you could even dive into the river and dig up some lotus roots. That would be quite interesting.
