Seeds

Snap!

Linsey rushed to the wooden house and pushed the door open.

The air in the autumn afternoon rarely brought a touch of warmth, and the peaceful atmosphere in the hut also calmed the mind.

Linsey took a deep breath to calm down.

"Xuan Cao, come and eat."

He found some millet in the house and fed it to Xuan Cao in the chicken coop. Then he closed the door and walked into Glass Greenhouse at the back.

The two potato plants he had processed yesterday were right in front of him.

Linsey After careful inspection, the stems and leaves of the two wild parent plants were in good condition, and there were no accidents such as withering due to transplantation.

"Yes, now it's time to experiment."

Linsey's eyes swept across the greenhouse.

Experiments on the ability to grow crops must not be conducted with these precious species, which are the smallest in number. So he walked aside and found a clay pot from the greenhouse cabinet, which contained a small half-jar of wheat seeds.

This is an ideal experimental subject.

Looking at the wheat in his hand, Linsey's thoughts were a little far away. He remembered what Finn said to him in class:

"The planting conditions of Hidden Borderlands are not very good. But as long as one grain of wheat is successfully planted and sprouts, it can probably grow three to four ears of wheat, and at least forty or fifty grains of wheat can be harvested from one ear of wheat.

Linsey, do you know what this means?

If one seed successfully Sowing, you can harvest hundreds of times more seeds.

If these seeds continue to be planted, the overall value of the crops will increase at a rate far beyond imagination.

One hundred to ten thousand, ten thousand to one million, one million to one hundred million!

Most people are not engaged in agricultural production and only know the approximate yield of crops, but do not have a clear understanding of the specific figures.

There is unexpected vitality in it! "

"..."

Linsey fell into memories for a while, and then recovered his thoughts.

Faced with reality, he knew his own weight very well:

"But this kind of thing is just a thought for me. Let alone ten thousand or one million, even if I have one hundred wheat plants, I probably won't have enough time."

After thinking like this, Linsey took out three wheat seeds and immediately activated Resource Conversion Skill.

"Huh?"

The next second, Linsey was shocked.

With just three Resource Conversion transformations, he instantly felt that more than half of his Essence had fallen away!

Linsey's eyes stopped on the wheat seeds in his hands.

These three grains of wheat were still lying there quietly and motionless, and there seemed to be no obvious change. But the Essence consumed in Linsey's body is actually gone! To be able to smoke out so many Essence in an instant, there must be something extraordinary about this kind of thing! Just do it -

Linsey picked a good location in the greenhouse, carefully buried the seeds, and then poured some water on them.

Then he moved a chair and sat in front of Mai.

Just stay still and carefully observe the growth of the seeds "..."

An hour passed.

Linsey The water poured on it before has been completely integrated into the soil.

But the buried seeds were completely silent, as if his previous thoughts were just an empty dream.

"That's right, I was still too impatient."

"This is grain, not bamboo. It's impossible for half a meter to swish up in a day."

Linsey was relieved quickly.

He smiled, shook his head, and stood up from his chair.

Cultivating plants has always been a job that requires patience. He was intoxicated by the magical ability of the [Survival Construction] module, and it turned out that he was still a little whimsical.

With this in mind, Linsey picked up the plant notes from the table nearby.

Qiao Er took careful care of the plants during his absence for more than half a month, and also recorded the corresponding situation.

Now that he is back, he needs to study it carefully.

Qiao Er couldn't take good care of it, but it would be ruined if it fell into his hands.

Almost half an hour passed.

Linsey has sorted out the changes that have taken place in the greenhouse over the past half month.

He did not rush to attack the plants, but stood up, stretched and took out a new notebook from the side. Then he opened the back door of Glass Greenhouse and took a shortcut into Farmland in the south of the town.

Linsey has been busy all afternoon.

The sun slowly sets in the west, and the sky is filled with a faint orange color. Golden wheat ears swayed gently in the breeze, and a few gray sparrows jumped on the edge of the field.

Oncoming was a dry but fresh autumn wind.

It sweeps across the scent of wheat fields, and you can smell the satisfying harvest inside.

The thick Farmland seems to be endless. At a glance, all you can see is a tumbling golden color. Each cluster of wheat ears is swaying from side to side, as if to show people the weight of their harvest.

Linsey is walking on the path between the fields.

It was already late at this time, and many farming townspeople had already gone home. After searching for a while, Lin saw a middle-aged man wearing coarse clothes and sitting on a small wooden stool under a dead tree in Farmland in front of him.

He quickly went up and said hello:

"Uncle Ke Te, do you have time? I want to ask you something?"

Hearing Linsey's greeting, the farmer who was sitting in the field and resting immediately stood up. "Linsey, if you have anything, just ask, I'm free at the moment."

The farmer named Ke Te smiled and greeted Linsey with a very warm attitude.

In the eyes of Border Town's farming townspeople, botanist Finn is definitely one of the most respectable awakeners in the town; and Linsey, his student, has also inherited this honor of being treated with respect.

Linsey quickly smiled back, and then asked politely:

"As you know, the weather has been getting colder and colder in recent years."

"I plan to inherit the teacher's work and make some intensive improvements to crops, so I want to ask for your opinion."

The purpose of Linsey is simple.

Just ask the farmers in the town what improvements they need to make to their crops.

His ideas were only on paper.

And these people who are actually cultivating Farmland are the ones who best understand the aspects of current Hidden Borderlands crops that need to be improved.

Ke Te was asked this question and immediately frowned.

Finn has already made several changes to crops in the decades he has been alive. This is a topic that has not been mentioned in some days.

He stood up and thought hard for a long time, and finally said:

"As for crops, I think it's okay. As long as the weather doesn't get colder next year, there shouldn't be any problems with planting. As for improvements..."

"If you ask me, it must be able to produce more and bigger grains. Of course, it would also be nice if it tastes better."

Linsey carefully wrote down these needs in the notes in his hand.

Ke Te watched Linsey's movements. After he finished taking notes, the town citizen carefully asked, "Linsey, I heard that you went to the junction of our world and Black Mountain?"

"What is the situation over there? Is there any hope for our town to establish contact with the outside world?"

Ke Te's tone was filled with both anxiety and expectation.

Linsey couldn't bear to deceive the other party, but he still said it in a less desperate way, "It's covered in heavy snow over there. It's very difficult to cross now."

Ke Te nodded disappointedly. "That's right."

Then Linsey nodded goodbye to the other party and continued walking in other directions of Farmland, trying to collect as many opinions as possible in Farmland.

In the end, the needs of farmers can be summed up to the following points.

Yield, disease and insect resistance, taste and quality, and whether there are ways to shorten the growth cycle.

With this collected information, Linsey returned to Glass Greenhouse.

He is preparing to organize his notes and continue to refine his next cultivation plan.

But at this moment, Linsey's movements completely froze.

He stood motionless, staring blankly at the greenhouse where he had just said goodbye not long ago.

Because there was the land right in front of him.

The three-grain wheat that was just planted this afternoon has sprouted and grown into tender but vibrant green seedlings! [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!]
