Chapter 255: Beautiful Words that Touch the Heart: Farming
Chapter 255 Beautiful words that tug at the heartstrings - farming
While Eden was chatting with the young lady in a witch costume in the middle of the night, Zhou You was still having a headache picking out the gifts and vegetables that Eden bought from the various messy things in his prop storage system.
"Sweet apple, did Eden buy this? It seems not. It is a prop used by the fruit-gnawing worm to evolve into an apple-wrapped dragon, but it is not inedible."
"Mastery seeds seem to be what allow elves to bloom, allowing them to become proficient in their own moves."
"The Origin Sphere... no store would be crazy enough to sell this thing."
"The item dropped by Larulas? It was dropped by the Larulas-type elf in Zhuzi. Although I am very curious about what it is, I always feel that it is a bit inappropriate for children."
"Xing Tao Guo, could Eden buy this?"
Since the description of this tree fruit in Sword and Shield was very exaggerated, Zhou You was quite impressed by it——
"The phantom tree fruit was abandoned at the end of the world because it was too powerful. It is said to contain the power of the ancient world, and the taste is indescribably beautiful."
It's a really confusing explanation, and the style of painting suddenly seems to be fantasy.
However, most of the ways to obtain this kind of tree fruit in the game are indeed quite difficult. Either you have to completely dominate the battle development area, or you have to win 200 consecutive victories in places like the battle tower to get one.
You can tell how precious it is from the way of obtaining it. Even Zhou You's account only has 10 of them.
One person said that he wanted to try it a little bit to see how delicious it was...
"So Eden definitely can't buy this thing."
"Hai Dai's wallet, why is this plot prop that I only bought for a few minutes in my box?"
After browsing for more than ten minutes, Zhou You finally fell weakly on the chair.
Anyway, the items in the throwing prop storage system will basically not expire. It is better to wait until Eden comes back tomorrow and let him log in to his account to take it out - others will not be able to see the mess when they log in to their own account.
Just when he was about to turn off the computer and go back to rest, the luxurious ball around his waist flashed with brilliance, and Reshiram's voice suddenly sounded in Zhou You's mind: "Qiaoqiao, I think you seem to be planning to study how to cultivate elves recently. Think about it. If your financial strength is limited, you might as well take some tree fruits out of the box and plant them in the backyard of the institute to be self-sufficient.”
Farming, what a beautiful word, just from Reshiram's mouth, it seems to pull the heartstrings of the wandering people.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the world, find a geomantic treasure land among the green mountains and green waters, grow something to be self-sufficient, and live a contented life with the elves.
Just thinking about this kind of life can make him full of motivation. However, considering some practical factors (water, electricity, network, logistics, etc.), even self-sufficient people will find it difficult to escape from society.
Then the next best thing is to buy a farm on the edge of town like the "Harvest Story" series of games, cultivate, plant, sell crops or raise livestock yourself, and live a slow-paced pastoral life.
"Your proposal is indeed very attractive, but I have carefully checked the information before. It is quite difficult for a zero-level beginner to grow fruit trees by himself. He must meet the requirements of water and soil, fertility, temperature, humidity, climate, environment, energy, etc. It takes a lot of conditions for the fruit to develop properly, and then it takes several years for the seedling to grow enough to bear fruit.”
Tree fruits are not like rice. They need to be buried in the ground and grow into trees after at least several years of wind and rain. Then they can bloom and bear fruit once a year. During this period, there are countless accidents. After the fruits mature, they may also be picked by wild elves or passing trainers...
This leads to the fact that unless they are experts who specialize in tree fruit cultivation (tree fruit celebrities), it is better for others to simply buy them on the market than to grow them themselves. The market is definitely one of the greatest inventions of mankind.
"You seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding. You don't necessarily have to plant fruit in the normal way." Reshiram disagreed with Zhou You's analysis and pointed out a crucial point, "Don't you have a duck watering can?"
"A reachable duck watering can?" Zhou You was stunned when he heard this.
Has Reshiram finally been overwhelmed by the long life of a dragon and gone crazy?
He said it was difficult to grow fruit trees, but he said there was a duck watering can. Doesn’t this constitute a conversation?
Probably sensing the thoughts of defeat in the other party's mind, Reshiram simply used his superpower to control his wandering hand and drag the page to the important item column, which could reach the duck watering can.
"Accessible Duck Watering Can": (Important prop) Watering prop. It can make tree fruits buried in soft soil grow up quickly.
"No matter how important it is, it's just a watering prop. Wait a minute."
Zhou You suddenly realized an incredible possibility: "Do you mean that the person in the description grew up much faster than I imagined?"
It can’t be the growth rate in the game...
"Otherwise?" Reshiram didn't understand how the other party could find this unbelievable.
As long as there is enough water, fertility, and energy, things like tree fruits can be planted to maturity in as little as half a day and as long as four days, right?
Hearing Reshiram's tone as if he was looking at a fool, Zhou You couldn't help but fall into silence.
There must be something wrong with one's own common sense and the other's common sense. If we continue to chat across servers like this, at least one of the humans and dragons will go crazy.
But the amazing effect of the watering can soon made him surprised: "The Duck Watering Can can really make a batch of tree fruits ripen in a few days!?"
"It depends on the type of fruit. For example, it takes 16 hours for orange fruit and 96 hours for star peach fruit. Both types of fruit produce 2-4 fruits." Reshiram gave a very accurate data, and then explained, "This is using the amount of fruit as a price in exchange for the rapid growth of the fruit, and the soil fertility requirements are also very high. After the fruit matures, the fruit tree will quickly decay and turn into nutrients again."
In short, it is to make a choice between stable and large perennial fruit trees and quick-made products that mature quickly, produce less fruit and consume a lot of fertilizer.
When trainers need to obtain a large amount of fruit in a short time, they will choose the latter.
"The power of science (black technology) is really great." After several hours, Zhou You had to sigh again.
He was obsessed with farming and suddenly thought that it might be a good idea to take out the watering can and some of the fruit to play a business model?
Perennials and daily fruits go hand in hand to build a rural pastoral where people and elves coexist in harmony?
"Perhaps after returning from the trip to Wind City, it would be a good idea to spend my savings to buy a piece of land in the slower pace of life in the Johto region."
The remote, sparsely populated island city of Azure City is a good choice. Go there in advance to buy the land that will be built into a hunting area and farm it. There are also ancient ruins such as the Buried Tower where super ancient elves are sleeping, which can be explored. It fits the style of Ranch Story/Rune Factory/Tropico in Zhouyou's mind.
