Chapter 25 unlocks the planting module and senses the Clover Boss.
In the afternoon, at the Star Territory, at the milk tea shop.
Li Suhua, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed by her daughter into this small shop that seemed particularly "luxurious" in the post-apocalyptic world.
A faint, long-lost sweet aroma of milk tea filled the air. Li Suhua subconsciously straightened her back, her hands nervously clasped on her lap, her gaze quickly sweeping across the control panel.
Is this the tool she'll be using later?
Lin Nanxing had already been working at the milk tea shop all morning. When she saw someone come in, she didn't waste any words and pointed directly to the counter: "Aunt Li, let's skip the pleasantries for now. The process here is very simple. Just input the customer's instructions into this machine, and the milk tea will be ready in a minute."
Li Suhua, who had prepared herself for learning multiple complex procedures, was stunned and asked uneasily, "Is it that simple?"
"It's not difficult at all. My only requirements are: be fast, accurate, and clean, and don't conflict with the customers. Okay, a customer is coming. Aunt Li, why don't you give it a try?"
Seeing this, Li Suhua refused her daughter's help and skillfully pushed the wheelchair around to the back of the control panel.
Seeing that she moved freely, Lin Nanxing's initial hesitation softened.
Li Ziqi stood aside without leaving. Everyone present was observing the prince who was receiving clients. Lin Nanxing walked to her side and said softly, "It seems your mother is quite suited to this job."
These words were an acknowledgment of Li Suhua's work ability. Li Ziqi looked at Lin Nanxing and said earnestly, "Thank you."
Lin Nanxing waved his hand and emphasized, "I didn't keep Aunt Li here because of Sister Lan."
Li Suhua picked it up very quickly, and her movements were noticeably faster than Lin Nanxing's. Perhaps it was because she was older, but she was also very stable and treated all customers with the same attitude.
What's even more remarkable is her attitude.
He didn't shrink back because of his disability, nor did he put on airs because he used to be a combat player; he just took this simple job seriously.
"The probationary period is one month, with the same benefits as Sister Lan, including accommodation. After becoming a full-time employee, three meals a day will be provided. Are there any other questions?"
"No." Li Ziqi is an adult now and can make decisions for her mother.
"Perfect timing. When Aunt Li is resting, please tell her for me that every cup of lemonade should be checked for lemon seeds. If there are any, collect them and make a new cup for the customer."
Seeds... Li Ziqi realized something and was somewhat delighted, but seeing Lin Nanxing's tired face, she didn't say much and obediently nodded to indicate that she remembered.
In the afternoon, people who heard that a milk tea shop had opened in Star Territory came to visit, only to find that the employee in charge was a familiar face.
"Isn't that Li Suhua? She's still alive?" A tank player carrying a giant axe said instinctively to the person next to him.
Whispers immediately broke out in the group.
Everyone knows that this female tank player, who once dominated the battlefield, was seriously injured while covering her teammates during a monster hunt. Although she survived by chance, she injured her leg and ended up paralyzed.
It's quite a pity that this once spirited woman has fallen silent.
"Here's your iced lemonade, please take it." Li Suhua ignored what others thought of her and deftly handed the milk tea to the customer in front of her.
She was sitting in a wheelchair, her injured legs hidden under the workbench, but a long-lost smile was on her face.
This scene has stirred the hearts of many. Even severely injured and disabled people can find work here. Don't they also have a chance?
Some quick-thinking players went back and started writing resumes, and by that evening, the front desk of the swimming pool was flooded with resumes.
When Lin Qiulan found Lin Nanxing carrying a thick stack of documents, he was having dinner, which consisted of braised pork and cold noodles.
Food is scarce in the territory, and there aren't many different kinds of food available. But the players have already come up with all sorts of creative ways to use the few items in the vending machines. One bag of noodles has been turned into dozens of bowls of cold noodles. Lin Nanxing found it interesting and bought four bowls.
“I’ve already screened them all.” Lin Qiulan ignored the aroma of food wafting into her nose and divided the resumes into several stacks. “These are all people with a special skill. This part is those with strong combat capabilities, and this part is those with a special skill, such as being able to build houses or cook, etc.”
She paused, then took out another stack of resumes. "As for those that say they are proficient in classical literature or can dance ballet... I've put them all here."
"I think that although we don't need these talents in our territory right now, keeping them here will come in handy someday."
Looking at the thick stack of resumes, Lin Nanxing was both amused and exasperated. The territory was only a small place, so there was no need for so many people.
I casually flipped through a page, and wow, no wonder this person is thinking of submitting a resume and applying for a job. The format and content of this resume are clearly the result of being thoroughly immersed in the experiences of a corporate slave.
If it weren't for the fact that computers are unusable now, Lin Nanxing would have suspected that they were using machine-generated fonts.
However, Lin Nanxing deeply agreed with Lin Qiulan's point of view. Even if it was not needed now, keeping it here would not be a waste, as it would be used eventually.
So she nodded and accepted the pile of resumes. It was lunchtime, so she turned to Lin Qiulan, who was about to leave, and said, "Sister Lan, don't bother with these for now. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat here before you go."
Just as Lin Qiulan was about to decline, her chopsticks were stuffed full of delicious food. The cold noodles were chewy and the braised pork was tender and mushy. Who would have thought that this was made from instant noodles?
"Don't stand on ceremony with me. You know I have plenty of food, no problem." Lin Nanxing said generously.
Besides, she's already started cultivating seeds and is thinking about unlocking the farmland, so why would she worry about not having good food to eat later?
Lin Nanxing confidently bit into the meat, already planning which plants to grow in his territory once planting was unlocked.
The lord had a good plan. With a milk tea shop making a fortune every day, collecting ten seeds should be a simple matter. However, Lady Luck seemed to have only been on her side for a short time.
Over the next few days, Li Suhua searched through every cup of lemonade she made, but only found a few withered and dead seeds. The ones she finally found that were still alive either rotted or failed to germinate at all when planted.
It took Lin Nanxing eight days just to gather enough seeds to plant ten seedlings.
[Congratulations, host! Ten seeds have survived, successfully unlocking the planting module in the shop.]
Unlock Rewards: Limited-time flash sale in the Planting Shop, 20% off everything (00:59:59)
The planting module is now activated. You can go to the store to purchase related items, such as farmland, seeds, and farming tools.
Please continue your efforts, host, to create a perfect territory together!
Lin Nanxing watched the countdown tick by, her adrenaline surging. Every reward from the system always surprised her. She muttered to herself, "A 20% discount for a limited time, that'll save me a lot of money."
These days, the territory has brought in an average of 45,000 coins per day, and Lin Nanxing has already saved up a considerable sum of money. Her fingers moved like lightning to open the store, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the newly unlocked planting templates.
The icon was flashing an alluring light, as if beckoning to her.
The moment the planting mall interface unfolds, a dazzling array of products comes into view.
Lin Nanxing was well-prepared. She hadn't been idle for the past eight days, having already planned out all the matters related to the farmland. Now, like a shrewd businesswoman, she went straight to her target and began a large-scale purchase without hesitation.
[Ding, purchase successful. 10 basic farmlands, 100,000 points consumed.]
[Ding, purchase successful. Irrigation device x5, consuming 100,000 points.]
“Farmland is the foundation of farming, and we must buy it.” Lin Nanxing’s mind raced. “But just having land isn’t enough; irrigation is the key to ensuring the healthy growth of crops. We have to buy it, even if it’s expensive, and we can’t skimp on it.”
Fortunately, one irrigation system can cover two fields, and in the blink of an eye, 200,000 points were spent.
[Successfully purchased 1 potato seed, costing 10,000 points.]
[Successfully purchased 1 sweet potato seed, costing 10,000 points.]
[Successfully purchased 1 chili seed, costing 10,000 points.]
......
[Successfully purchased 1 Cabbage Seed, costing 10,000 points.]
[Successfully purchased 1 star anise seed, consuming 10,000 points.]
Among plants, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, and corn can be used as staple foods; soybeans can supplement protein; cabbage, radishes, and tomatoes can be used as vegetables and provide antibiotics; and chili peppers and star anise can be used for seasoning.
Lin Nanxing makes targeted purchases, filtering out those flashy but impractical ornamental plants, just to avoid wasting money.
Ten thousand yuan can only buy one packet of seeds, and there are only 20 seeds in one packet. All in all, Lin Nanxing bought ten kinds of seeds, and that was the result of her restraint.
As for fruit, since lemon seeds can be obtained from lemonade in milk tea shops, other fruit seeds should also work. Lin Nanxing plans to upgrade the milk tea shop later.
Ten thousand yuan can unlock three kinds of fruit tea. Isn't that better than just buying the seeds?
However, after thinking about how long it would take to collect lemon seeds, Lin Nanxing figured that other seeds would probably take just as long, so he gritted his teeth and bought a bag of the necessary fruit seeds.
[Successfully purchased 1 watermelon seed, consuming 10,000 points.]
After this big shopping spree, Lin Nanxing's wallet was visibly emptier.
Aside from upgrading the milk tea shop, territory upgrades, and daily costs, with only 100,000 yuan of usable funds remaining, her eyes fell on growth accelerators.
[Growth Accelerator: Accelerates plant growth by up to 2 times; one bottle costs 4000 points.]
This is a magical tool that can make crops mature quickly, a product that Lin Nanxing did not expect, along with those essential tools for farm work.
[Ding! Successfully purchased 20 Growth Accelerators, consuming 80,000 points.]
"Done."
Just as the countdown ended, Lin Nanxing bought everything she needed, spending nearly 400,000. The system gave her a 20% discount, saving her 80,000 game coins.
Lin Nanxing was very happy to have gotten all the benefits from the system, looking at his overflowing backpack.
Lin Nanxing unlocked the planting function on her own balcony. Under the cover of night, she prepared to go out and set up the farmland in her backpack. Just as she stood up, Xiao Ye's excited voice rang in her mind: "Master, I sensed the location of the boss."
Lin Nanxing stopped in his tracks. "Where?"
“I couldn’t pinpoint his exact location, but I could feel him getting closer and closer to me.”
Doesn't this mean that Xiao Ye's boss is on his way here?
Lin Nanxing thought of the uninvited banyan and big mouth, and instantly understood that Star Territory was currently the place with the richest water resources. It seemed that the plants had their own way of sensing water sources.
Knowing that Clover 'Big Brother' would come on its own, Lin Nanxing was no longer in a hurry to have Clover go find someone; he would just wait for it to come to him.
Before leaving, Lin Nanxing seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "Did you only detect your boss, or are there other magical plants?"
The clover happily shook its coconut and exclaimed, "And my friends, they've all come!"
Lin Nanxing nodded in satisfaction. Very good. She was just worried about how to maintain these ten plots of farmland. The labor force has arrived.
These past few days, the lemon seeds in the soil have been being cared for by the clover. It's a natural plant grower, and the other clover plants should be just as good, but I wonder what its leader's skills are.
Could it be a four-leaf clover?
