By then, the snow had stopped.
I opened my watch and glanced at it.
Most of them are notifications from high-level meetings at the base.
And Qi Feng's too.
He sent her several messages inviting her to dinner.
Seeing no response, Qi Feng guessed that Sang Luoluo might have something else on her mind and left only a message.
The rice is keeping warm in the pot.
Sang Luoluo glanced at the time—good heavens, it was already eleven o'clock.
She slept for more than ten hours.
Subconsciously, I dispersed my Mental Power.
Goodness, my Mental Power has increased a bit.
It is about five meters long.
Although it's rare, it can grow without Crystal Core.
Chapter 297 The Fruit of the Mutant Vine: Sleep Quality Increases Sharply...
Sang Luoluo was overjoyed. Having this fruit in her space meant that she wouldn't have to go out to find Crystal Core anymore. She could simply eat enough of the fruits from these mutated vines to improve her Mental Power.
I wonder if she has given some samples to the base laboratory before, and if there have been any research results in the past few days.
Thinking of this, Sang Luoluo immediately sent a private message to Jian Cheng, asking if there had been any progress in his research on the fruit of that mutated vine.
Jian Cheng replied very quickly.
[Not yet. The vines have been cultivated, but they are growing slowly. After several days of growth in the lab, tests have shown that they have produced radiation, although the current radiation level is low. The effects are unknown as they continue to grow.]
I will notify you as soon as the results are available.
Sang Luoluo had a few new red fruits in her hand, took a picture of them, and sent it to Jian Cheng.
Sang Luoluo: [I have a few more here. I'll have someone give them to you so you can study them. I've tried them and found that they can increase Mental Power. By the way, you can try cultivating them with the mineral water produced by the Farm App.]
[What!!!]
[Increase Mental Power?]
[What are the specific effects? Can you describe the changes in detail?]
[How about I come to your place and we talk face-to-face?]
Sang Luoluo paused for a moment, then replied with "[That's fine.]"
Jian Cheng: [I'll come to your house after work today]
Sang Luoluo: [OK]
After finishing her chat, Sang Luoluo washed up and went downstairs to eat.
The rice was warming in the pot. Sang Luoluo herself rice and sat in the dining room to eat slowly. She spread her Mental Power to the yard and found that only Lei Qi was busy in the greenhouse.
Everyone else is not here.
After eating, Sang Luoluo went to help in the greenhouse.
He asked Lei Qi, "Where are the others? They've been gone for so long and haven't come back yet?"
Lei Qi was transplanting eggplant seedlings when he said, "The captain took some men out to look for work. He said there's no work to do at home lately, so he took some men to the market. I heard there are some new things appearing at the base market recently."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Sang Luoluo was experienced in farming, and together with Lei Qi, they transplanted the cultivated seedlings into the new soil.
Look, Lei Qi is watering the mineral water produced on the farm. He's using a special device, which Qi Feng and his team spent several days setting up. It creates a separate circulation system inside the greenhouse, using only the Spirit Spring Water for irrigation.
Sang Luoluo only realized the benefits of this circulation device after making it herself.
This can save water resources to the greatest extent possible.
In this way, although the vegetables grown with the Spirit Spring Water are of slightly inferior quality to those produced on her farm, they are still far superior to those grown at the base.
They have no problem eating it themselves.
Leftovers can be canned and exchanged for points and other resources.
By evening, Qi Feng returned with several people, bringing back several large boxes.
Sang Luoluo asked, "What is this?"
Qi Feng explained, "The base has recently been collecting mushrooms in the wild, and someone has developed a method for cultivating mutant mushrooms. They've selected several relatively safe mushroom varieties that the base's residents can grow. The soil and spores used for mushroom cultivation are now being sold on the market."
Sang Luoluo was surprised by the speed of innovation among the residents of the base. "They've made planting widespread so quickly?"
Qi Feng explained, "It's not widespread yet. Cultivation requires space and conditions, which most people don't have. They have limited living space, let alone room to grow it. It's aimed at a segment of people who have the means. Also, if the mutated mushrooms undergo new mutations, we need the ability to handle the resulting problems."
"I've heard that some people who lack the necessary conditions for cultivation have spontaneously formed teams, pooling their resources to rent space for planting. The cultivation techniques for mutant mushrooms are relatively mature, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's quite easy to grow them."
Sang Luoluo nodded. Now that the two bases have merged and their technologies have been integrated, there will be even more new technologies emerging in the future. In any case, the more research and development that benefits the residents of the bases, the better.
Sang Luoluo remembered the fruit of the mutated vines in the space.
He called everyone into the house.
"I have something to say. Jian Cheng will be here in a bit."
Everyone gathered around.
Sang Luoluo took out a handful of red, mutated vine fruit.
He said, "This is the fruit of a mutated vine that I snagged on Farm App. I bought up all the mutated vine fruits in the farm; it was quite a coincidence."
This claim was prepared in advance, and she even added the fruit of this mutated vine to her purchase history on the Farm App. Currently, the Farm App shows that these red fruits are sold out.
"After consuming it last night, I felt drowsy, but when I woke up this morning, my Mental Power range had increased by five meters."
Qi Feng frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation. His deep voice rang out, "This fruit is quite extraordinary. It can increase your Mental Power; this fruit is extremely useful. Aside from drowsiness, do you feel any other discomfort?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "It tastes good, quite delicious. The drowsiness isn't really drowsiness; it's more like a massage for my Mental Power, very relaxing."
"I called you all over here to ask if you'd like to try it. Among us, I'm the only one with a mental attribute, so it has a mental growth effect on me. Everyone's abilities are different, so I don't know what effect it will have on you. If you can also increase your Mental Power, then our strength will be improved in the future when we survive in the wild."
Qi Feng picked up a red fruit and examined it. It wasn't very big, just a tiny piece in his palm, and looked no different from any other fruit. He said, "Everyone, don't eat it yet. There's a limited quantity of these fruits. I'll choose a time for everyone to take them together, and one person will stay behind to record the data. Also, we need to test everyone's current physical data so we can compare it with what we've done after taking them."
Sang Luoluo stepped forward and said, "I'll take notes."
Qi Feng asked, "There's another question. Since this fruit is produced by the Farm App and has such effects, it must be quite expensive."
Sang Luoluo showed them the purchase records.
One item is worth 10,000 points.
There are twelve in this hand, which means I spent 120,000 points.
Everyone gasped.
"So expensive!"
" Boss Sang, didn't you hesitate when you bought it?"
Sang Luoluo disagreed, saying, "Why hesitate? The Farm App's products are definitely good. I have enough points, and besides, it just so happened that it was the perfect time. If I don't buy it, someone else will. If all else fails, I can still resell it in real life at a higher price. It's not a loss."
Lei Qi: "Yeah, boss, we can do some reselling in the future. Some people can't get fresh food from the Farm App, but with so many of us, we can grab it together and then resell it at a higher price on the market."
Qi Feng shook his head. "With your hand speed, you should just grab it first. The items in the Farm App are valuable, their worth can't be compared to ordinary food outside. Even if we manage to grab it, wouldn't it be better for us to keep it for ourselves? We don't lack points or nutrient solution right now, it's not worth it."
Sang Luoluo and Qi Xue thought so too.
It's best to keep some good stuff for yourself.
Qi Feng immediately decided that everyone should take it before bed after dinner.
Qi Feng took two people to the kitchen to cook, while Qi Xue took Li Jiu to move the boxes into the greenhouse and find a place to put the nutrient soil. They'll plan the specific planting locations more carefully tomorrow.
It was almost six o'clock when Jian Cheng arrived by car.
Because she was thinking about the red fruit that Sang Luoluo had mentioned, she quickened her pace considerably.
"You're here. Come in and have a seat."
Sang Luoluo led him to the living room, where a comfortable sofa and a clean wooden table were set up. Sang Luoluo made him a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Jian Cheng took what Sang Luoluo said very seriously, "How many of these fruits do you have?"
Sang Luoluo took out two red berries and said, "There are two more here. You can take them back and study them. I got them from the Farm App. They're very rare on the app, and I just happened to be a high-level member and grabbed them."
Jian Cheng took the fruit and glanced at it. It was a little different from the red fruit that Sang Luoluo had given him before. This one was larger and rounder, and it also had a slightly sweet smell.
He commented, "This thing is somewhat similar to the fruit you gave me last time. We'll have to wait until the lab has successfully cultivated these two fruits before we can say anything specific."
Sang Luoluo: "Of course. If I say it's for your research, then it's for you. You just need to tell me the results of your research."
Jian Cheng continued, "Yes, when the follow-up report is submitted to the base, I will also mention your contribution in the report, so you can rest assured about that."
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "No need, I don't really need this credit."
