Chapter 83 New Features
Keke recommended some books to her at the right time and said, "Host, the products in the mall are very limited. Many items cannot be traded on a large scale. Moreover, as a system, I do not recommend you engage in the business of reselling. This business requires no technical skills and is also very harmful to your own safety."
Koko's voice became excited, and he said enthusiastically: "In this world, the only money earned by using your own abilities is the safest. So, host, learn cultural knowledge. As long as you are capable enough, you will have no worries about money."
Koko selected several books for her, all of which had preview functions.
Manbao flipped through a few pages and found he didn't quite understand, so he closed the book and said, "I don't understand."
"It's because you don't understand that you need to learn," Koko said. "If you already understand, do you still need to learn? And books that can be understood at a glance, without the need for in-depth study, must also be filled with sloppy text. Host, you need to learn knowledge, not just read stories."
"What kind of knowledge is this?"
Koko said seriously, "Knowledge about making money."
Manbao scratched her little head and was about to agree to Koko, but then she thought it was not right. She was still young, but she knew that making money was difficult, and based on her experience, she had to go out to make money.
But she is still young and can't walk far. Her parents will definitely not want to let her go, so she definitely can't go out to make money.
So she was unhappy, "I won't buy it!"
Koko: ...
Manbao seemed to see Keke's sadness, so he reluctantly said, "Do you have any books on growing yam? If so, I'd like to buy one."
Koko said dejectedly, "No, there are techniques for growing other crops, such as rice, wheat, and various fruits, but there are no techniques for growing yams."
Although Keke wanted to lure Manbao into buying books, because all the books were bought from the encyclopedia, it would get a commission for every book it bought, but it would not go so far as to cheat Manbao.
So it pulled up the entry for Chinese yam and showed it to her, "The entry for Chinese yam is already out, with the most basic planting suggestions. Host, you can take a look."
Manbao found that there were many words in the entry that she didn't recognize.
Koko explained the questions to her and helped her sort out the parts she didn't understand, including how to deal with yam seeds, how to prepare the land for planting, etc. Specific numbers were listed on the questions, but they were all very abstract, and Manbao found it very difficult.
Keke perked up when he saw this and said, "Host, there's a simulation demo inside the system. Would you like to use it? It's very cheap. One point gets you a ten-minute simulation demo, and it comes with instructions."
Manbao was puzzled, "What is a simulation display?"
A picture suddenly flashed through Manbao's mind: a clear image of a man hoeing the ground. Keke said, "This is a simulation display. It has three modes. The most basic one displays exactly the text you choose. One can display based on the conditions you set. The third simulates the display after scanning the actual situation. The points consumed for each mode are different. I recommend that the host experience the first simulation display first. However, because the era in which the host lives is very different from the era in which the entry was formed, I think the host should prioritize the third mode after experiencing the simulation display."
Manbao stared at the man hoeing the ground with sparkling eyes and asked excitedly, "Can we replace this man with Fourth Brother?"
Koko hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of long-term development, it gritted its teeth and switched for the host. Then the person in Manbao's mind became Zhou Silang waving a hoe and working.
Manbao said happily: "Change to me, change to me!"
Koko: ...
What can it do?
Of course he had no choice but to agree, so the picture in Manbao's mind became the little girl sitting on the ground holding a hoe that was longer and bigger than her.
Koko explained without emotion, "Because the tool was too big and the host lacked strength, he sat down on the ground."
Manbao burst into laughter. The system didn't understand her joke at all. Seeing that she had almost finished laughing, it asked, "Host, do you want to use the simulation demonstration?"
Manbao wiped the tears from his laughter and nodded.
The system happily deducted some points from her and considerately selected the words from the yam entry for her, and then a picture slowly flowed in Manbao's mind.
Keke called it a video, but Manbao thought it was just a series of moving paintings connected together, which was very beautiful and vivid.
No, it was already moving.
Keke explained to her attentively, "The yam seeds can be picked about half a month before the tubers mature..."
Manbao stared at it with wide eyes and asked curiously, "I've seen this before. It's on a vine."
Koko added, "It can be used as seeds. In addition to yam tubers, yam seeds can also be planted."
The technology of the future is certainly not comparable to that of the present. Although future scientists and technicians only have access to yams for a few days, they can quickly develop a method of growing them based on existing information and research on the habits of yams.
Whether using tubers or seeds as seeds, it is best to start with seedling cultivation when planting yam. They will first soak them in a potion to reduce the damage caused by pathogens, and then dry them in the sun for one to three days before starting seedling cultivation.
The seedling period is about twenty-five days.
After processing the seeds, Manbao saw a large object appear on the ground and dig the soil. Keke introduced it, "This is a planter. It can dig the soil, make ridges, sow seeds, and harvest. In short, it can do all the work in the field."
Manbao exclaimed, "Can I buy it?"
"No," the system said, "Even if you buy it, you can't use it. This thing is remotely controlled via the Internet, and it needs to be charged. You don't have electricity here..."
Manbao felt regretful for a moment, then looked carefully at how it grew yam.
This video was nearly thirty minutes long. The system subsequently deducted two points from her and saved the synthesized video for her. It said, "You can watch it whenever you want in the future without spending any points. Isn't that a good deal?"
Manbao nodded his little head and started asking various questions, such as the potion used to soak the seeds, and learned that he could search and buy it in the mall.
Moreover, this medicine can not only be used to soak yam, but also millet, to promote germination rate and strengthen seedlings...
Manbao was very excited and started looking for the potion, and found that it was not expensive at all.
Because the products were from the mall, Keke didn't receive any commission, so he was particularly considerate of the host and said, "Actually, the host could try replacing these potions with other things. These potions are very brightly colored, and the host might not be able to explain their origins. Actually, the cut surface of yam seeds can be dipped in lime..."
The main responsibility of the system is to collect various plants. It also contains a lot of knowledge about planting, so it can easily come up with these. Even if the entry for yam is not specified, it can still analyze the planting method that is more suitable for this era based on the processing methods uploaded to its system by scientific and technological personnel.
