Chapter 112
Ming Chunxi dried her hair with a towel. "Okay, I'll try."
Ming Chunxi took the phone, Qing Mengzhu leaned over to look at it with him, while casually rubbing his back, nervously waiting for the lottery results.
Although the prize pool for this draw is different from previous ones, the drawing process is the same.
Ming Chunxi quickly clicked start and end, the lottery stopped, and the results were displayed on the screen.
Ming Chunxi: "Soil Fertility Restoration Agent?"
Qing Mengzhu held her breath. "Let me see, I really did draw the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent!"
Ming Chunxi: "Look at its description, what is its use?"
Qing Mengzhu: "I know this. I've seen it before. It can improve soil and enhance soil quality!"
Ming Chunxi carefully read the instructions, "A product of the cultivation world?"
Qing Mengzhu: "Yes! It's a product with relatively high technological content, so we can't buy it in our dimension! To be precise, we couldn't buy it before, but I haven't looked at it since I became a junior member."
Ming Chunxi: "Search now."
Qing Mengzhu took the phone. "Let me see."
Qing Mengzhu quickly opened the search bar and began searching for "Soil Fertility Restoration Agent".
Sure enough, the search bar yielded many results for Soil Fertility Restoration Agent, ranging from basic to advanced, with prices starting at 30,000 Star Coins and the most expensive costing 3 million Star Coins.
These Soil Fertility Restoration Agent are used in different scenarios. Basic Soil Fertility Restoration Agent can restore ordinary fertile soil, while advanced Soil Fertility Restoration Agent can restore fertile soil.
They received a basic Soil Fertility Restoration Agent, enough to restore thirteen acres of damaged soil—I don't know where the unit of area is from, the number is so strange?
Qing Mengzhu opened the details and showed them to Ming Chunxi: "It seems I still can't buy it; only intermediate members can buy it."
He is currently a junior member of the Interstellar Mall, one level away from being able to purchase this Soil Fertility Restoration Agent.
Looking at the description, Qing Mengzhu suddenly realized, "Do you think this might be a trap set by the Interstellar Mall? They're deliberately making us draw items we can't buy right now, to encourage us to level up our memberships?"
Ming Chunxi: "Possibly."
Looking at the various descriptions of the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent, Qing Mengzhu sighed, "What a conspiracy."
Ming Chunxi dried her hair, grabbed her pajamas from the side, and put them on. "A calculated scheme."
Qing Mengzhu sighed, "Fine, a scheme it is then. But what's the point? No matter what I do, I can't upgrade. To become a mid-level member, monthly sales need to reach 100,000. Where are we going to get that many vegetables?"
Ming Chunxi: "Maybe in the future. Our menu prices used to be so low, but now they've gradually increased, haven't they?"
Qing Mengzhu: "Then its purchase price would have to be at least several hundred Star Coins per kilogram. How are we supposed to grow such expensive vegetables?"
Ming Chunxi: "Soil Fertility Restoration Agent?"
Qing Mengzhu: "I doubt it. Whether a crop grows well depends not only on the soil, but also on the seeds, water, fertilizer, and planting techniques. My current planting skills are only at the beginner level."
Qing Mengzhu said a few words and quickly turned her attention back to the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent.
According to the store's description, this stamina recovery potion can restore damaged soil to its optimal state. If the soil is not damaged and is already barren, it will upgrade the soil to its best state, which is close to that of spiritual soil.
It will comprehensively improve soil quality, including soil fertility, health, and environmental quality.
After the two carefully read the instructions together, Ming Chunxi asked, "Where do you intend to use this Soil Fertility Restoration Agent?"
Qing Mengzhu met his gaze. "You realized it too?"
Ming Chunxi nodded. "Besides being used normally in our fields, it can also be used in ponds or bamboo forests."
Qing Mengzhu: "I'm wondering, should we just use it on the mountain?"
Qing Mengzhu slowly said, "Our bamboo and Solomon's seal are all planted on the mountain. It shouldn't be a loss to use them for planting bamboo and Solomon's seal, especially since our bamboo was of 'Superior Grade-' when we bought it. With the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent, we might be able to upgrade the bamboo's grade to 'Superior Grade grade-'."
Ming Chunxi: "It's relatively hidden up in the mountains. If we use it there, and as long as we prevent people from going up the mountain in the future, most people won't discover that there's such a fertile place up there."
Qing Mengzhu: "That's the same idea of mine. Maybe we can cultivate seedlings for some special crops in the future."
Ming Chunxi: "It can also be used separately, on the mountain, in the fields, and in the pond."
Qing Mengzhu: "Yes, breaking it down and studying its different manifestations in different soils would also be of great research value."
The two sat on the bed, slowly planning how to use the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent.
Without a doubt, this is a rare and valuable product, and it will greatly enhance crops wherever it is used.
In the second year of planting, they will achieve even better planting results with the help of Soil Fertility Restoration Agent!
Author's Note:
I'm taking a break today. The bonus chapter with 60,000 nutrient solutions will be posted tomorrow night. See you tomorrow!
Chapter 112
Qing Mengzhu and his team ultimately decided to use the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent on the two ponds, farmland, and bamboo forest.
Farmland was too conspicuous to use too much of, so Qing Mengzhu only took out one mu (approximately 0.16 acres) for testing.
Soil Fertility Restoration Agent is different from other pesticides and fertilizers. Qing Mengzhu did not rely on others, but personally drove the tractor to plow the fields.
The radishes had just been harvested, and the empty land needed to be tilled to plant other things, so no one suspected anything as he tilled the land.
He tilled the soil with exceptional care and took an exceptionally long time, making it extremely fine. Everyone assumed he was just not very skilled, which was why he wasted so much time.
Following the instructions for using the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent, Qing Mengzhu evenly spread it on the field and then used a tiller to mix it thoroughly, ensuring that every inch of soil was mixed with the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent.
This one step alone took him two days.
The mixed soil was particularly shiny, fine, and fluffy; I wonder if it was just his imagination.
After the fields were plowed, Qing Mengzhu applied the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent to the ponds and bamboo forests on the mountain.
It's not convenient to use a tiller in the pond or bamboo forest, especially the pond. He could only manually put the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent into the bottom of the pond and mix it evenly. At the same time, he also bought two more bags of new Spirit Pearl Dregs and mixed them in.
After observing for a period of time, Qing Mengzhu has basically determined that the Spirit Pearl Dregs is mild and harmless, and can be placed directly into the pond without needing to wrap it in a net bag.
After a while, the Spiritual Power in the Spirit Pearl Dregs will be completely exhausted, and it will be no different from ordinary fine sand. Putting it directly into the pond will make it more concealed and less likely to be discovered.
The soil at the bottom of the pond is difficult to cultivate, while the soil in the bamboo forest is relatively easier to cultivate. Although it is not possible to drive the tiller directly up there, a hand-held tiller can be pushed up to cultivate the soil between the bamboo groves.
While walk-behind tillers aren't as efficient as tractors, they can still save a significant amount of time.
Qing Mengzhu cultivated nearly ten acres of forest land, and in the end, it only took him three days.
After Qing Mengzhu tilled the land in the bamboo forest where the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent was to be applied, she went to the field to collect aggregate balls.
The instructions for use of the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent specifically remind users that the Soil Fertility Restoration Agent will aggregate harmful substances in the soil to form a stable, inert sphere. Users should collect this sphere and treat it to render it harmless.
Otherwise, the polymer balls will release harmful substances back into the fields over time.
Qing Mengzhu picked up these small balls from the field.
For safety reasons, he wore gloves, carried a small bucket, and used tongs to hold the polymer balls.
His appearance was quite strange, and passersby couldn't help but ask, "Mengzhu, what are you doing?"
Qing Mengzhu casually said, "Picking up pests!"
A passerby asked in confusion, "Are there many pests? Why do you need to use a bucket to collect them?"
Qing Mengzhu nodded. "There are quite a lot; we'll have to pick them up a couple more times."
