Watermelons generally take 85 to 95 days to mature, from planting the seeds to harvesting—about three months.
Many agricultural experts were now researching ways to shorten the watermelon's growing cycle. One technique had already made considerable progress and could cut the time to maturity by half a month.
Apparently, the expert who developed the technique had even won some minor agricultural award.
Qin Lin wasn't familiar with this sort of thing, but as he looked at the watermelon vines already spreading across the ground, he wondered: if he managed to cultivate seeds from them, wouldn't he deserve an award for getting the watermelon to mature in just one month—even without knowing what quality the fruit would be without the game's land?
Nearby, the transplanted Bougainvillea plants with seven-color symbiosis hadn't withered, which was a good sign.
If he managed to cultivate these seven-color symbiotic Bougainvillea successfully, the transplanted potted plants wouldn't grow into mature bushes or reach the size of those in the flower garden. They wouldn't have any game attribute bonuses, either, but they'd still be more beautiful than ordinary Bougainvillea.
He could transplant them into pots on a large scale then, and they would probably be popular with many visitors.
"Boss, I didn't think watermelons could really grow without a greenhouse." Chen Dabe spoke in a tone of mild admiration.
He'd grown up in the countryside, so he knew watermelons needed temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius to grow. Otherwise, the seeds would hardly sprout. But winter was setting in, and everyone had already started wearing thicker long-sleeved clothes. The temperature had long since dropped below that range.
It really was a new variety.
The first hurdle was cleared: the game seeds could grow in the real world. Now came the second step—cultivating Quality 2 seedless watermelon
