Chapter 29: Almost Drained
System Xiaojiu also scanned the strawberry plant and after analyzing the data, said: "Your ability to induce fertilization is fine. It's these evolved plants that need to spend more time to breed seeds to achieve high quality... Well, how should I put it."
The system thought for a moment before continuing in a way that Xu Xinxin could understand: "Improving the quality of seeds is equivalent to "modifying genes." It's not really genetic modification, but that's the idea.
If you allow the seeds to mature in too short a time, the seeds won’t have time to “transform their genes” and evolve into higher quality seeds.”
It turns out that the quality of evolutionary seeds is related to the time it takes for the seeds to mature.
Xu Xinxin took note of this and planned to give the evolved strawberries a try later. When the strawberry vines grew up, she would let them bear fruit and mature naturally.
But now she doesn't plan to promote the evolution of strawberries anymore. She'd better promote the evolution of tomatoes first, which are cheaper than strawberry seeds.
Xu Xinxin did not stimulate the growth of seeds again, but instead used her supernatural powers to stimulate the growth of the evolved tomato seedlings that had already sprouted.
This time, she prepared some more small wooden sticks and ropes.
As the tomato vine grows, you need to insert a wooden stick next to the vine and tie it with a rope so that it can climb upwards and grow.
Xu Xinxin first forced the tomato vines to grow bigger, then tied them to a wooden stick with a rope made of rags, and continued to force them to grow.
After the tomatoes bloom, they are artificially pollinated and the tomatoes are brought to maturity in one go.
It is really troublesome to force tomatoes to grow, but fortunately, the fruiting rate is good, and there are more than twenty big red tomatoes.
Xu Xinxin took a quality measuring instrument to measure it, and as expected, the quality of all the tomatoes was "0".
Sure enough, directly forcing the fruit to mature can only produce fruits of ordinary quality.
The water spinach we measured previously was its green stem and leaves, not its seeds and fruits, so the quality was "1".
If this is the case, then she will have more room to maneuver when it comes to promoting plant growth.
Because there is no need to wait for the seeds of water spinach to mature, you can directly plant them to sprout and grow into new plants.
What you eat when you eat water spinach is either its "fruit" or the plant itself.
However, she can also leave a few water spinach plants and let them produce seeds naturally, so as to cultivate higher quality seeds.
After coming to this conclusion, Xu Xinxin thought about her evolved rice and evolved sweet potatoes, and began to get excited.
To evolve rice, you eat the seeds, which takes a lot of time. But to evolve sweet potatoes, you eat the rhizomes!
If that's the case, doesn't that mean she will soon be able to achieve evolutionary sweet potato freedom?
When Xu Xinxin thought of the wonderful taste of the evolved sweet potatoes, she couldn't help swallowing.
The next second, she took out a big sweet potato from the space, buried it in the soil, and started to stimulate its growth.
A large amount of supernatural energy poured into the soil, and soon, a small green sprout broke through the soil, quickly grew into a green seedling, and then... Xu Xinxin became withered.
The supernatural power in her body was particularly abundant just now, but in an instant, it was "drained".
System Xiaojiu had been collecting data on these evolved plants. Seeing Xu Xinxin almost fainted, he quickly said, "Host, this is a level 39 evolved sweet potato. It requires a large amount of wood-type superpowers to grow. Your superpowers are not enough!"
In order to make the evolved plants grow quickly, Xu Xinxin not only used wood-related abilities to promote their growth, but also used space abilities to "transfer" energy substances in the air to the inside of the plants.
Using two powers at the same time, her power could be easily drained.
"No wonder...my head feels so dizzy."
Xu Xinxin stumbled and felt dizzy. She almost couldn't stand, so she simply sat down on the ground, with her clothes covered in mud.
System Xiaojiu said, "You are using two powers at the same time, so of course you are prone to dizziness. This is a sign of lack of energy. You need to rest more to recover. It is not enough to just restore your powers."
It turns out that using two superpowers at the same time not only consumes the superpowers quickly, but also consumes energy very quickly.
Xu Xinxin rubbed her temples with her hands and felt her forehead swelling, dizzy, and even a little nauseous.
No, she urgently needs to eat something to replenish her energy.
Xu Xinxin raised her head slightly and saw the freshly ripened strawberries in front of her. She immediately reached out to pick them and stuffed them into her mouth one by one.
So sweet.
This should be a red strawberry, which is not a particularly sweet variety and is of average quality. However, it is also very sweet when fully ripe.
After eating more than a dozen strawberries in a row, Xu Xinxin regained some strength in her legs and feet and was finally able to stand up.
But she still had lingering fears, and looking at the evolved sweet potato that had just been forced to sprout, she did not dare to use her supernatural powers casually again.
Her ability level is still too low and needs to be further strengthened.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinxin took another look at the system mall, and found that the price of the supernatural upgrade experience package had actually increased!
[Beauty Pill: 100 system coins, can improve your appearance.
Blood recovery pill: 100 system coins, can quickly recover from injuries.
…
Superpower upgrade experience pack: 600 system coins, can be used to increase superpower level.
Superpower potential activation package: 300 system coins, can enhance superpower potential (only available once, already purchased).
……】
The ability upgrade experience pack that originally cost only 300 system coins has increased to 600 system coins.
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, what's going on? Why has the price of experience packs increased?" Xu Xinxin asked quickly.
"That's right," System Xiaojiu said as a matter of course, "This is to prevent the host from frantically brushing experience packs, improving too quickly and destroying the balance of power in the original world.
Therefore, every time the host purchases a power upgrade experience pack, the price will increase.
But host, don't worry, the prices of things like beauty pills, blood recovery pills, and detoxification pills will not increase."
The price of the pills won't go up, and she doesn't need them now.
Xu Xinxin glanced at the supernatural power upgrade experience package with resentment, but still closed the mall page reluctantly.
She has now experienced the joy of rapid upgrades. She has been training bit by bit, but feels that the rate of improvement is too slow, and there is no real sense of enhanced superpowers.
The experience packs are really "toxic", but she still wants to take them.
"Xiaojiu, please help me keep an eye on the mission targets recently and remind me if there is any movement from the 'wolf pack'," she said.
System tasks are very interesting, but the usual supernatural power training must also keep up. Then... let's start with using the wood supernatural power to farm.
Xu Xinxin climbed up and looked at the plants being grown in front of her, looking forward to her future.
"Hiss..." It hurts so much.
As soon as Xu Xinxin stood up, her brain shook and she felt dizzy and painful.
Forget it, she should just have a good rest today.
It's not that she doesn't want to work and train, but her body doesn't allow it...
