Wasteland Farming: All About Accumulation

Chen Wangping, who transmigrated to the wasteland, obtained a wasteland farming game system that integrated elements from Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, and Stardew Valley. As long as he accumulat...

Chapter 452 Natural Enemy

Chen Wangping looked at Li Wei and thought to himself that this kid was quite sensible. He reached out and patted Li Wei's head and said, "We'll see later. By the way, where are the people protecting you? Why did they let you be chased alone?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know where Uncle Lin went. He might have been involved with them. They kidnapped Uncle Lin's child before, hoping that he would give up on me. Luckily, my uncle found someone to rescue Uncle Lin's child. These people have no bottom line."

Chen Wangping said, "Your father is still alive, so why is the competition so fierce?"

Li Wei said bluntly, "Although he's not dead yet, he's very ill. He might only be in the next year or two. He doesn't have the energy to care about the eldest and second brothers. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to quarrel with each other and arrest people in the street."

While chatting, the two came to Li Wei's private river.

Before he got close, Chen Wangping smelled a rotten smell from afar, mixed with the grassy smell of many plants, and the smell was extremely complex.

Li Wei took out a mask and handed it to Chen Wangping, saying, "Master, I haven't had time to clean up the river here yet. There are some dead fish in it that are lacking oxygen, and the smell is terrible."

Chen Wangping put on a mask and looked at the surrounding terrain. The two rivers were blocked by embankments upstream and downstream, and there were thatched houses built by caretakers nearby.

After approaching, he reached out and grabbed a handful of the so-called feed vine to take a look, and found that this thing was indeed the water hyacinth from his previous life, also known as water hyacinth. At this time, there were already many flowers blooming in the middle of the river. The lavender flowers were everywhere, and they looked quite beautiful.

The prerequisite is to ignore the various dead fish and rotten vines piled up in the river.

Just as Chen Wangping was about to investigate the situation, he suddenly turned his head and saw many system lights emerging from the leaves of some well-growing water hyacinths in the middle of the river.

Any good stuff?

Chen Wangping stepped over the water hyacinth in a few steps, lowered his head and followed the system light, and found that the light was on the axillary buds of the water hyacinth.

"It seems that this water hyacinth also reproduces asexually."

He reached out and plucked the axillary buds, checking their properties:

Water hyacinth axillary buds

【Purpose: Asexual propagation of water hyacinth】

[Special Effect - Rich in Nutrition: Water hyacinth can solidify nutrients through powerful photosynthesis. Eating it can improve the growth and mood of livestock.]

[Special Effect - Fast Growth: Water hyacinth grows extremely fast and can quickly dominate the entire water area without natural enemies]

[Negative Effect - No Natural Enemies: There are no natural enemies near the axillary buds of this water hyacinth, and the rapid growth effect is doubled.]

【Note: This is a double-edged sword! 】

“???”

After reading the properties, Chen Wangping frowned and turned to ask Li Wei, "Have you dealt with the fodder vines here? Did you remove anything specifically?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, I found this fodder vine in the wild. I collected some seeds and planted them in more than a dozen areas in the experimental field. Finally, I picked the one that grew the best and planted it here."

Chen Wangping pressed on, "Take me to your experimental field to see the situation."

Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay, but the experimental fields are not being taken care of right now. They may have already overflowed. I'm not sure if there are any surviving fodder vines left."

Just as the two were about to leave, Uncle Lin excitedly shouted from afar: "Young Master! I'm so glad you're okay!" At this time, there was a lot of blood on his chest and his face was abnormally red. It was obvious that he had just rushed over after experiencing a battle.

Li Wei excitedly ran over and hugged him, saying, "Uncle Lin, are you okay? I have some medicine here, take it quickly." After saying that, he took out many red pills and handed them over.

Uncle Lin took the pill but didn't rush to eat it. He turned around and bowed deeply to Chen Wangping, saying, "Although I don't recognize you, Senior, I still want to thank you for saving my life. If you need anything from me, please let me know!"

Chen Wangping held Uncle Lin up with his hands and said, "No need to call me senior. Li Wei is my disciple after all. It's my duty to save him."

Uncle Lin asked with some confusion: "Disciple? Young Master, what is this?" He had been following the Young Master since he was young, so how come he had never heard that the Young Master had a master?

Li Wei suddenly jumped up and fed the medicine to Uncle Lin, grinning, "Uncle Lin, this is the master I learned to be cool from back in Fire Bull City! Back then, you blamed me for wasting money, but now you know how amazing my master is!"

After hearing what Li Wei said, Uncle Lin also reacted and hurriedly bowed again and said: "It is my fault that I did not recognize the great man and neglected the young master. I hope you can forgive me." At this point, the effect of the medicine also came to him, and he coughed several times.

Chen Wangping waved his hand, helped him sit aside, and said, "Don't be so polite, Li Wei, let's go to the experimental field first. Maybe we can find evidence that the others have tampered with the equipment."

Li Wei nodded. "Well, Master, you're amazing. You spotted something strange after just a few glances!"

Chen Wangping patted Li Wei's head and said, "Praise, praise, praise, you only know how to praise. Hurry and lead the way."

Li Wei chuckled and took the two of them back to the backyard of his residence. Here, he had enclosed two acres of land within the wall and was specifically studying the aquatic plants he was interested in.

As soon as they walked in, a fresh breeze blew over, and everyone could see that the fodder vines here were growing very well, without any signs of decay.

Li Wei had obviously not been home for a long time. He ran around in surprise and said, "Look, look, Master, I said there was no problem with the fodder vines. All the ones left here are fine! The ones outside must have been tampered with by my eldest and second brothers!"

Chen Wangping walked nearby and took a look around, but found that there was no systematic light on the water hyacinths here, and of course, not many axillary buds had grown.

He looked into the water and saw fish and shrimps. The water quality was not much different from that of the river.

"Missing a natural enemy? What kind of natural enemy are those water hyacinths out there missing?"

Chen Wangping thought about it and ruled out environmental factors, so it could only be biological factors.

He turned around and said, "Call some people over here and pull up half of the fodder vines in each experimental field. Move quickly."

Li Wei didn't know why, but he nodded and continued.

Soon, the shore was filled with water hyacinths of different growth types.

Chen Wangping continued, "Keep searching. Find everything alive and kicking on this vine. Don't leave any behind."

Li Wei still didn't quite understand, but since his master said so, he just did as he was told.

Soon, a group of people pounced on the water hyacinth, searching carefully, and soon they harvested a large number of living things.
