MTL - Farming Together wIth Interstellar People-Chapter 15
Another half an hour passed, and the corn was ripe.
Wen Xingyao held a golden sickle in his hand, and felt that it was not the right tool for harvesting corn, so he silently put it back into his backpack.
When Bai Li came back with a blank face, he saw Wen Xingyao squatting at the door of his room, with his chin resting on one hand, staring at the ground idly.
"What are you looking at?"
"Zerg."
Bai Li:? ? ?
"Look... what?"
Zerg? Where did the Zerg come from? Why didn't he know that there was an existence that the interstellar people hated the most in his game.
Following Wen Xingyao's guidance, he looked over and saw a group of ants working together to carry a grain of wheat into a small hole. He was speechless for a while.
"...just an ant, an ordinary insect."
"Oh, no wonder it's so small." The squatting man stood up pretending nothing had happened, "Li Bai, the corn I planted is also ripe, can't it be harvested with a sickle?"
Hearing Wen Xingyao's words, Bai Li turned his head and glanced at the cornfield.
The thick and strong corn stalks are about two people tall, and ten huge corn cobs are formed on each stalk. The light green skin can't wrap their bodies, revealing the golden and full grains inside. At a glance, you can tell that their owners have put countless fertilizers and magical spring water on them that represent love and expectation.
Coupled with the buff effect that Bai Li put on Wen Xingyao before leaving, this batch of corn can be said to be of extremely high quality and very rare.
Sure enough, he is a person who is willing to spend money, this kind of attitude is really amazing.
Bai Li first gave Wen Xingyao a look of approval, and then signaled him to follow the steps he said.
In this game, players can help others to fertilize or water, but the harvesting step can only be done by the owner of the field. Otherwise, Bai Li would have stepped forward to practice, instead of him saying a step and Wen Xingyao doing a step.
Fortunately, Wen Xingyao is an extremely smart student, and he copied it perfectly according to what Bai Li said. Hold the corn stalks with one hand, and grab one of the corn cobs with the other hand, and gently break it down to break it off. The broken corn cobs are automatically put into the backpack, and then the same action can be repeated .
When all the cobs on a corn plant are broken off, the bare stalks wither quickly, fall to the ground, and then dissipate in the air.
Bai Li found that Wen Xingyao's house had more than nine pieces of land, and another six pieces of land, a total of fifteen pieces.
Sensing Bai Li's gaze, Wen Xingyao was quite proud: "I didn't have anything to do just now, so I just reclaimed a few more pieces of land by the way, and then I can grow a little more, and the harvest will also increase."
Anyway, he has a lot of fertilizer and spring water, so he can afford so much land.
He obviously owns five agricultural planets under his name, but Wen Xingyao feels that so many planets are not as fulfilling as the fifteen pieces of land in front of him.
After a brief exchange, Bai Li also went back to take care of his land. Before he left, he did not plant new crops, and planned to plant a wave of corn as well.
For planting, everything has been engraved into his bone marrow and soul. Whether it is digging pits, placing seeds, filling soil, or pouring ordinary streams, there is a sense of rhythm in the flow of water, which is a kind of in the eyes of others. A very comfortable visual experience, as if Bai Li was not farming, but performing some kind of elegant art.
Wen Xingyao glanced up by chance, and then looked in Bai Li's direction from time to time. Even his own farming posture unconsciously began to imitate Bai Li. But he was very careful not to be discovered by Bai Li who was obsessed with farming.
But in fact, Bai Li was doing farming work, and his mind had already drifted to how to optimize the game.
He has been in the game for several hours today, and he has indeed discovered many details that he had overlooked before.
First of all, each player's house, including the fields near the house, needs to be fenced. This is a private site, and it is best to distinguish it from the public one. With the fence, the inside can form a space of its own. In the future, if you want to rebuild the house, expand the land and planting area, or add other functional buildings, you will be much freer. However, hey, if you want to expand the land, it will naturally not be free.
When the time is right, land expansion cards can be arranged in the mall.
At the same time, the fence can also play a role in preventing strangers from entering and prying. Of course, the latter requires the fence to be built higher, which can be decided by the player. And the task of building the fence can be distributed by the old village chief later.
Secondly, the whereabouts of the crops after harvest must be carefully planned. At the very beginning, Bai Li only designed the way for the village chief to buy the grain, but the reaction of the players today told him that it might be very difficult for the players to sell the grown grain.
Just the smell of the wheat can make them dazzled. Selling the wheat is equivalent to gouging out the flesh in their hearts?
It is better to develop more correct use methods of crops!
After thinking for a while, Bai Li added a system of satiety and energy to the game. The former makes people feel hungry, while the latter makes people tired. When these two values drop to a certain level, players need to supplement food or carry out Rest until the value slowly recovers before continuing to work.
Well, the game still needs to be a combination of work and rest.
In this way, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, dishes, cups and chopsticks, and various spatulas can also be sold at the village chief.
Bai Li quickly conceived the styles of these things and put them on the shelves of the old village chief's store. In order to prevent the players from getting aesthetic fatigue, he specially created a lot of patterns, which must be enough to sell for a while.
With these, the food that players are reluctant to sell also has a new place to go. If you are reluctant to sell it, will you still be reluctant to eat it? It smells good and tastes even better!
While Bai Li was contemplating non-stop, the game also quietly changed.
When he had planted the nine plots and finished taking care of the plants according to his own habits, when he looked up, he saw Wen Xingyao covering his belly with his hands and frowning.
"Li Bai, you update the game... why don't you say it first?"
The hunger came suddenly, and the already full stomach was empty all at once, as if a big hole had leaked, who could bear it.
Not to mention Wen Xingyao, Bai Li himself actually felt a strong sense of hunger, smiled embarrassedly, and said proactively: "I have optimized some content, and I feel hungry because you have planted land for too long before. , I need some food to supplement, the village head sells white flour steamed buns and simple seasonings, we can buy ready-made ones or make them ourselves."
Is there somewhere to sell food? So what are you waiting for, go duck!
The two looked at each other, put down their work and went out to find the old village head.
When I arrived at the gate of the village, I found that there was already a long queue at the position of the village chief. A group of tall, long-legged men and women obediently lined up in a long line, looking nervously at the front, looking at the posture, as if Fear of being robbed of something.
The two walked to the back of the line, followed in line, patted the shoulder of the person in front of them, and asked him what happened.
Coincidentally, they knew this person.
"It's you?"
"King of Thunderbolt?"
Xiong Pili replied heavily: "Hey!" Then, he looked at Bai Li with a puzzled face, recalling who this person was.
It was only then that Bai Li realized that he had changed his face in the game, and Xiong Pili should not recognize him. On the contrary, it was Xiong Pili, whose appearance didn't change much, except for a pair of round furry ears on the top of his head.
"I'm Bai Li." He introduced in a low voice.
"So it's Mr. Bai!" Xiong Pili was very happy that he joined Bai Li in the game so quickly.
After adding friends, Xiong Pili told Bai Li and the others why everyone was queuing here.
"Hey, didn't the game suddenly update just now? Everyone quickly discovered the thing of satiety, and then they were all hungry. There is only one NPC, the village chief, in this game, so we came over to ask the village chief. What should I do? Then, a buddy found white flour steamed buns in the village chief’s store, and they only cost 2 copper coins, which was super cheap, so that buddy bought one, and it was half the size of your face!”
As he spoke, Xiong Pili swallowed obviously, with a trace of longing on his face: "I was too far away at the time, so I couldn't see very clearly, but according to other people, that steamed bun smelled delicious, and it smelled better than before. The wheat must be delicious, that buddy took the first bite with a skeptical attitude, and then couldn't stop eating, woo woo woo, in less than a minute, he actually took such a big one. The steamed buns have been eaten up, and now people are still queuing in line, saying that they want to use all the copper coins to buy steamed buns."
After speaking, he raised the back of his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and swallowed heavily again.
"Mr. Bai, Yao Xing, you should know by now, why are we all queuing here?" Xiong Pili regretted, "I should have known that I should not have thought about planting the seeds before starting, now it is fine, It’s so low in the queue, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat the legendary white flour steamed buns. You think these steamed buns won’t be sold out, right?”
Hey, good guy, the "legendary ones" are here!
"Don't worry, they won't be sold out, the quantity is enough." Bai Li said softly.
As the designer of the game, his words are the most convincing, not to mention that the appearance of white flour steamed buns was also facilitated by Bai Li, and the unlimited supply was also set by him. Sure enough, Xiong Pili's eyes lit up after hearing Bai Li's words, and he muttered a few words in a low voice, "How did I forget about this?"
No matter how much he didn't continue to speak out, it might be because he was worried that Bai Li didn't want to reveal his identity to the public.
The people at the front of the line didn't notice the conversation of the three people on the tail, they were all absorbed by the sudden appearance of white flour steamed buns, and they had no time to care about other things.
As one player successfully bought white flour steamed buns, the line became shorter and shorter, and the air was filled with a sweet scent. The players who hadn't bought it became more and more greedy, and the voice of swallowing became much louder.
Finally, it was Xiong Pili's turn to buy. He wasn't too polite, and used all the copper coins he had saved from the previous missions to buy steamed buns, holding one in each of his left and right hands, and putting the rest in his backpack.
The white flour steamed buns were soft and fluffy, but they looked a lot smaller in his big palm-like hands. Xiong Pili couldn't wait to stuff one of them into his mouth when he didn't have time to look at it. Ahhh, he took a big sip, and when the sweet but not greasy fragrance exploded in his mouth, his tears also flowed down.
"Really! Good! Eat! Ah! What kind of delicacy is this!"
