Chapter 62 "Lan Ying, come and take a look. Is this okay?" Ying Yuanxing called out. Lan...
"Lan Ying, come and take a look, is this way of planting okay?" Ying Yuanxing called out.
Lan Ying calmed himself down, controlled the water flow to send himself into the sea, and carefully observed the small seaweed that Ying Yuanxing had just planted.
It was clearly a small piece just cut from the seaweed, but it took root in the farmland once planted. Even though the leaves were swaying left and right due to the current, the roots did not move at all.
"How about it, is this feasible?" Ying Yuanxing looked at Lan Ying.
"...I'm not sure if it will work." Lan Ying said with difficulty. He had never done this before, so he couldn't judge whether Ying Yuanxing's approach would work.
Ying Yuanxing frowned. Lan Ying was so familiar with seaweed, how come he couldn't even figure out the first step in planting it?
"I, I heard that seaweed needs to be cultivated with the flesh and blood of the cultivator, and it is not cultivated in the sea at all." Lan Ying explained hesitantly.
"Cultivated with flesh and blood?" Ying Yuanxing looked at the seaweed in his hand and took a breath. Is this why seaweed is so precious? Wait, that's not right. The flesh and blood in the strange world are not valuable.
"Are there few monsters that can grow seaweed?" Ying Yuanxing asked, thinking of something.
Lan Ying was silent for a moment and nodded.
Ying Yuanxing guessed that this was the case. If any strange flesh and blood could be used to grow seaweed, then seaweed could not be so rare.
As for what kind of strangely cultivated seaweed it was, Ying Yuanxing glanced at Lan Ying. This person was too easy to guess.
Ying Yuanxing finally understood why Lan Ying reacted so strongly the moment he heard his question.
However, Ying Yuanxing still had a question at this time.
"Is there any wild seaweed in the sea?" Ying Yuanxing asked seriously.
Lan Ying was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but then hesitated. He had been trapped in a corner of the sea and had never been out, so it was difficult to judge whether there was any wild seaweed.
"I think so." Lan Ying hesitated.
Ying Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief calmly. Although he was not sure, he believed that what he caught must be wild seaweed. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as eating Lan Ying's flesh and blood?
Thinking of this, Ying Yuanxing couldn't help but recall that Lan Ying seemed to have eaten seaweed as well. Lan Ying's behavior at that time was as if it was the first time he had eaten seaweed.
For example, I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable, and I realized I had to expel the impurities before staying in the fish pond, instead of going there in advance.
Ying Yuanxing knew very well how great an impact impurities had on a strange thing. When he learned that seaweed could remove impurities, he couldn't help but eat it.
Lan Ying grows seaweed, so how could he not want to eat it? But this is the first time he has eaten it.
This situation reminded Ying Yuanxing of a poem: Those who are dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm breeders. This is exactly the true portrayal of Lan Ying.
…
Ying Yuanxing quickly reclaimed other plots of land in the sea, and then planted seaweed one by one. The seaweed was planted sparsely, which made Ying Yuanxing sigh and think about how to make the seaweed grow faster.
If it could grow in a few days like other crops, Ying Yuanxing would not be so worried, but he was afraid that it might not grow.
If it's like the strawberries he planted, it will be difficult.
The strawberries that Ying Yuanxing had planted from seeds before were growing well, but they had only bloomed so far. Although their growth rate was much faster than that of normal plants, it was hard to satisfy Ying Yuanxing with such a growth rate.
Strawberries can be cultivated slowly, but as for seaweed, Ying Yuanxing felt that Blue Star was in urgent need of seaweed at this time, and if it grew slowly it would definitely delay things.
The more you worry about something, the more it will come.
Two days later, Ying Yuanxing looked at the seaweed planted in the sea field and sighed.
As he guessed, the seaweed was growing, but the growth rate was slow.
If he were given enough time, he could grow more seaweed, but now, time waits for no one.
Just when Ying Yuanxing was at a loss, Lan Ying suddenly appeared beside him.
"Let's try using flesh and blood." Lan Ying could see that Ying Yuanxing was very worried about the seaweed, and he wanted to help Ying Yuanxing.
This was the first time that Lan Ying had voluntarily donated his flesh and blood to cultivate seaweed. He considered it as a way of repaying Ying Yuanxing for saving him and allowing him to recuperate on the farm.
Instead of waiting for Ying Yuanxing to speak, it would be better for him to take the initiative.
As Lan Ying spoke, his body shook and he changed from a small blue fish to a big blue fish more than a meter tall.
The azure blue scales of the fish's tail are gorgeous against the backdrop of the sea water.
"It's more convenient to take flesh and blood from the fish's tail, and it grows faster." This is Lan Ying's experience.
After saying this, Lan Ying lay down quietly, waiting for Ying Yuanxing to strike.
He was willing to donate his flesh and blood, but he didn't want to do it himself anymore.
"Xuanying!" Ying Yuanxing shouted, and Xuanying rushed over immediately and saw the blue shadow lying on the beach, which had grown larger.
The azure blue scales made him look even more gray compared to the dark gray of his body.
"Tell him to water the plants quickly and stop thinking about unnecessary things." Ying Yuanxing said unhappily.
After receiving Ying Yuanxing's order, Xuanying stretched out a tentacle with disgust, tied up Lanying tightly, and tried to push him into the well.
The well is not big, so putting a small blue fish in it is fine, but it would be a bit difficult to force a fish that is more than a person's height into it.
No, it’s not that I can’t let go.
Xuanying picked up Lanying. Since he couldn't put it in horizontally, he decided to put it down vertically.
"Don't you want to use my flesh and blood to grow seaweed? It will grow quickly." Blue Shadow shouted.
"If a crop can only grow with some strange flesh and blood, then there is no point in cultivating it." Ying Yuanxing stared at the seaweed and said casually.
"Moreover, even if you use your own flesh and blood, how much seaweed can you cultivate?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
"There are at least five or six hundred seaweeds a year." Lan Ying calculated and said.
"I may need to cultivate five or six hundred seaweeds a month." Ying Yuanxing said. In fact, he was not sure how much seaweed he would need, but he wanted to dissuade Lan Ying from thinking about it.
This number made Lan Ying speechless. If five or six hundred a year was sustainable fishing, then five or six hundred a month would be possible only if they simply killed them and fed them to seaweed.
"Moreover, I also need to cultivate hundreds of seaweed plants every month," Ying Yuanxing said.
"Okay, just become smaller and go water the plants with peace of mind." Ying Yuanxing said and stopped looking at Lan Ying.
Lan Ying did not say anything either. He realized that Ying Yuanxing's target was too big, and even if he sacrificed his flesh and blood, it would probably be of no use.
Before jumping into the well, Lan Ying couldn't help but look back at Ying Yuanxing. Ying Yuanxing's farming ability was unquestionable. He could even plant seaweed, and the seaweed was even growing slowly.
Just this has already pushed the cultivation of seaweed forward a step, at least it is much better than him.
But can he really make seaweed grow quickly?
However, because Ying Yuanxing's target was big enough, Lan Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, even if he sacrificed everything, Ying Yuanxing's mission would not be completed, so he should be safe.
Lan Ying believed in Ying Yuanxing's character, but he also knew that interests would drive people to change, and now, he felt a little more at ease.
The audience had no idea what was going on in Lan Ying's mind, and after watching the conversation between Lan Ying and Ying Yuanxing, they all felt a little emotional.
[It turns out that besides Xuanying, Lanying is also pretty good]
[In this strange world, there is actually such a thing as repaying a favor. When I think about the strangeness of coming to Blue Planet, why can’t I meet a better one?]
[Wait a minute, isn’t Lan Ying the Xuan Ying? What are you talking about? What did I miss?]
[Blue Shadow is probably not Xuan Ying, but an imposter. He should be a weirdo who escaped from the sea. This is a conclusion drawn from the conversation between the anchor and Blue Shadow. If you want to know more details, you can read this post] [Link]
[It feels quite normal. The monsters that come to Blue Star are all extremely hungry. If they don’t eat, they will starve to death. They are naturally hostile to humans, so naturally they won’t show any emotions. When Lan Ying first came, he didn’t show any intention of repaying his gratitude. Now that his body has recovered and the situation is not so urgent, he may have some emotions.]
[I saw some weird feelings online before, and I thought there was none, but now it seems that there is]
[Don't think too much. The more you think, the more hopeless it becomes. The battle between humans and monsters is hard to stop. Even if you feel a little sympathy for the monsters, we are still the most pitiful. So don't think too much. We are not worthy of pitying the monsters.]
[What I said before is fair, so don’t think too much]
…
After a day, Ying Yuanxing still hadn't figured out how to speed up the growth of seaweed, but he was the first to receive good news.
"You mean, the seaweed I sent over is enough for the time being?" Ying Yuanxing was surprised.
Although he sent hundreds of seaweeds, that was a strange area that was spreading impurities. The circumference was definitely more than a hundred meters. Could those seaweeds really control the spread of impurities?
Could it be that the Dawn Bureau saw that he was worried these days and wanted him to stop worrying so much?
But soon, Ying Yuanxing rejected his somewhat narcissistic speculation. After all, the diffusion of impurities was not a trivial matter, and the Dawn Bureau would not deceive him.
"The Dawn Bureau said that although the seaweed you sent cannot enclose the entire strange area, they got some strange weapons from other players. They can be used to enclose the strange area in a dispersed manner. By placing seaweed at the water outlet to absorb impurities, the demand for seaweed will be smaller." 1666 said.
"By the way, they also said that they would give you 10 million Gui coins as the cost of purchasing seaweed. They asked you to put a product on it so that they can transfer the Gui coins to you." 1666 said.
After hearing the first half, Ying Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how long this strange device could last, it was obvious that it could give him more time to study seaweed cultivation.
The second half made Ying Yuanxing's eyes widen. Ten million strange coins?
He had earned quite a bit of Gui coins in the past few days. If we only counted the income, maybe it was this much. However, he needed Gui coins to buy seeds and had his own expenses. He could say that he had not enough Gui coins to spend, but he couldn't spend them as he pleased.
"The Dawn Bureau asked you not to refuse. If you don't want it now, we will give it to you when you return to Blue Star." 1666 added.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the progress bar, hesitated for a while, and decided to accept the money.
By the time the progress bar is full and the farm is upgraded, I don’t know how many strange coins the world will need. If I rely on saving money, it will waste a lot of time.
Seeing Ying Yuanxing agreed, 1666 breathed a sigh of relief. In order to get Ying Yuanxing to accept the 10 million ghost coins, the Dawn Bureau had a lot of excuses, and he spent a lot of time memorizing them.
But as he was speaking just now, he seemed to have forgotten what he was saying. If he continued, he might be at a loss for words.
After sending away 1666 and posting an empty product link, Ying Yuanxing quickly received 10 million strange coins. Looking at the heavy money, Ying Yuanxing looked at the seaweed on the beach and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
The reason why he didn't dare to try that method was, firstly, he was afraid of wasting time, and secondly, seaweed was rare and he didn't dare to act rashly.
If it were an ordinary technological world, there seemed to be no way, but this was a strange world with all kinds of strange abilities, and maybe there was someone who could help him.
After discussing with Xuanying, Ying Yuanxing finally found the ability that suits his research - illusion.
Many weird things have the ability to create illusions, and when the illusions reach a high level, they are almost indistinguishable from reality. Since there is no difference, can he study seaweed in the illusion?
The most important thing is that the time in the illusion can be extended. As long as the person entering the illusion can hold on, the time can be extended as long as desired.
As for the most amazing weirdness in creating illusions...
After arriving at Xue's house, Ying Yuanxing explained his purpose. Xue Er was somewhat incredulous: "You want to enter my mother's fantasy world to farm?"
Even they are not willing to enter their mother's fantasy world. After all, it is too real and it is easy for them to confuse reality and falsehood, which will make them feel more uncomfortable over time.
Ying Yuanxing nodded: "Yes, so I would like to trouble you to tell Aunt Xue."
Considering the reward offered by Ying Yuanxing, Xue Er thought about it and decided to go find his mother, and got a positive answer.
If Xue Er and Xuan Ying had not disappeared before his eyes, Ying Yuanxing would not have dared to believe that he had entered an illusion.
Everything was so real, the soil on the ground, the surrounding vegetation, and even the crops on the farm, everything was extremely vivid.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the crops on the farm and wanted to pick one to taste, but then he heard a plain female voice: "The more real the illusion is, the greater the consumption. If you eat this, it will take up some of your magical power."
Ying Yuanxing quickly withdrew his hand, ran to the beach, and looked at the familiar seaweed fields in the sea.
Although it has only been a few days, Ying Yuanxing is very familiar with these seaweeds. He can even see when some seaweeds grow a little bit bigger.
The seaweed in the illusion is exactly the same as the seaweed in reality.
Ying Yuanxing picked up a small piece of seaweed and tasted it. The taste was the same, and even the increased physical strength was the same.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the seaweed field in front of him and immediately began his experiment. If the crops were not growing well, and if he couldn't use the game skills, then he would think about the reasons why real crops grew slowly.
"Auntie, can this seaweed field speed up time?"
"Auntie, please copy some more seaweed for me."
"Aunt……"
Xue Er looked at Ying Yuanxing who was sleeping, and he really couldn't understand why the other party had to enter the illusion, which was not a good place.
Moreover, the killing power of the illusion is invisible. If Ying Yuanxing gets hurt...
Xue Er glanced at Xuan Ying beside him. The other party was staring at Ying Yuanxing, but several other clones were already standing around them, obviously worried about them.
Xue Er felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have been greedy for Ying Yuanxing's reward. After all, although the reward was good, he could earn it by mining. Why take the risk?
Now she could only hope that nothing happened to Ying Yuanxing in the illusion.
Xue Er looked at his mother and found that there was a hint of impatience on her usually calm and kind face. Although it was very slight, it was enough to explain the problem.
No, what did Ying Yuanxing do in the illusion? Why would his mother be impatient?
After Ying Yuanxing excitedly came out of the illusion and thanked Xue's mother, he went straight to the seaweed field.
"Mother, what did he do in the illusion?" Xue Er was a little curious.
"...farming," said Xue's mother after a moment of silence.
Xue Er wanted to ask more, but seeing that Xue's mother looked a little tired, he felt embarrassed to ask again.
Ying Yuanxing took out the shrimps and crabs from the crab cage, added tree sap, and made them into fertilizer.
He had made fertilizer before, but he used fish and it didn't work.
After doing all this, Ying Yuanxing went to find Lan Ying again, stuffed a piece of seaweed into his hand, collected the impurities he excreted, and mixed the impurities with fertilizer together.
"What is this?" Lan Ying was a little confused when he saw Ying Yuanxing collecting the impurities he discharged, and he was even more confused when he saw this scene.
"Let's go, I'll show you..." Ying Yuanxing couldn't hide his excitement, but before he could finish his words, Ying Yuanxing turned around and shouted, "Xuanying, come here, I'll let you see it first."
Seeing Ying Yuanxing leave like this, Lan Ying felt inexplicably lost. He just looked at Xuan Ying who was walking away, and then thought about what Ying Yuanxing said, but still did not go over.
"This is the new fertilizer I made." Ying Yuanxing raised his lips with some pride, "Come and see the effect."
Ying Yuanxing sprinkled the gray fertilizer into the seaweed field and said, "Auntie, help me speed up the time of this field to 24 hours later."
After saying that, Ying Yuanxing waited quietly to watch the seaweed grow.
Only two seconds passed, and the seaweed didn't move. Ying Yuanxing frowned unconsciously and said, "Auntie, the ghost power is not..."
No, Ying Yuanxing looked at Xuanying on the side and remembered that he was not in an illusion and could not change the speed of time at will.
"I've been in the illusion for so long that I've become a little stupid." Ying Yuanxing muttered, looking at Xuanying a little embarrassedly, "Maybe we have to wait a day to see the changes, let's wait and see."
As he spoke, Ying Yuanxing took the fertilizer and prepared to fertilize the seaweed, but Xuanying snatched the fertilizer from his hand and said, "You teach me, and I will fertilize it."
Seeing Xuanying so proactive, Ying Yuanxing asked him to apply fertilizer. Looking at the gray fertilizer being spread on the edge of the seaweed, Ying Yuanxing blinked. He always felt that the next step after spreading the fertilizer would be the rapid growth of seaweed, but he forgot that this was not an illusion.
…
The Shuguang Bureau Research Institute was also studying seaweed at this time. After all, seaweed was too important. However, in just a few days, they had not figured out anything.
Compared to Ying Yuanxing, their research is more difficult. At least Ying Yuanxing can harvest some seaweed every day and plant the seaweed, but they can't even do this step.
When seaweed is placed in lake water, it cannot be covered directly with soil rather than being planted. It all depends on the seaweed's own vitality to survive and absorb impurities.
Because seaweed is so precious, people don't even dare to conduct research on it for fear of killing it. There is only so much test material, and it would be difficult to replenish it once it is used up.
When they saw Ying Yuanxing enter the illusion to study the planting of seaweed, the researchers' eyes lit up in an instant, and they couldn't help but look at Zhao Changyan who was watching the live broadcast with him.
"Director, can we..."
"No, it's too dangerous." Zhao Changyan rejected it outright. "Besides, we don't have the right kind of weirdness to create an illusion."
If they really want to do research, the illusion must be extremely real. Almost none of the monsters they caught have this ability, and even if they really have this ability, the Dawn Bureau does not dare to let this monster do so.
After all, researchers engaged in research are treasures. If Guiyi has any bad intentions, the loss to Xia Country will be too great.
The researcher sighed, but he could understand it. Then, seeing the excitement on Ying Yuanxing's face after he woke up, he couldn't help but whispered, "It looks like it was successful."
But whether it is really successful or not depends on the results.
Seeing Ying Yuanxing blurt out the time acceleration, some researchers were full of envy. They couldn't help but look at Zhao Changyan and made a suggestion: "Director, we can give it a try in the future. If it really works, I don't know how much time it can save."
To be honest, Zhao Changyan was also tempted. Research takes too much time, and there is not much time left for humans. If he could really do research in a fantasy world like Ying Yuanxing, it would be too easy.
However, the monster that can control illusions is too dangerous. Zhao Changyan remembered that he had encountered such a monster before. If the other party had not been very skilled in controlling illusions, all three rescue teams would have been wiped out.
But even so, the three rescue teams suffered heavy casualties.
It is extremely difficult to catch a weird thing and use it for their own benefit.
"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you?" After Zhao Changyan finished his thoughts, he turned around and found that Mr. Zhou's expression was not right. There was no yearning and envy on his face like other researchers, but some worry.
"Take a close look at Ying Yuanxing. Are you sure you don't find any problems?" Old Zhou said in a deep voice.
Zhao Changyan was stunned and looked at Ying Yuanxing carefully. He saw Ying Yuanxing biting his lower lip, frowning from time to time, looking a little anxious and at a loss.
However, the audience did not notice this. They were all immersed in the message conveyed by Ying Yuanxing. Even though they did not know about the water pollution, they were still clear about the importance of seaweed.
Previously we have been troubled by the slow growth of seaweed, but now there is a way to speed up its growth, how can the audience not be happy.
"What is he doing..." Zhao Changyan frowned.
"In the illusion, one can manipulate time and control everything at will. Judging from the skill with which Ying Yuanxing spoke just now, he must have stayed in that illusion for quite a long time, otherwise he would not have returned to reality and spoken subconsciously." Old Zhou said solemnly.
"Ying Yuanxing has been staying at the farm for too long. Although he has come out of the illusion now, his brain has confused the illusion with reality. He is now relying purely on willpower to distinguish them."
"What consequences might that have?" Zhao Changyan asked worriedly.
"I'm not sure either, but if this state continues, there will definitely be problems." Old Zhou shook his head. He did know of some cases of people being addicted to virtual networks, but Ying Yuanxing was the first case of confusing illusions and reality.
But his experience told him that Ying Yuanxing's situation was a bit dangerous.
Watching Xuanying spread fertilizer all over the seaweed field, Ying Yuanxing stood up and looked back at the farm. There were obviously many busy figures in the farm, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to see the empty farm again, as if he could teleport to the side of the wooden house by taking a step.
As soon as his brain was in a trance, Ying Yuanxing felt his body go empty and he was floating in the air.
Ying Yuanxing instantly lost the mind to think about anything else. Looking at the tentacles wrapped around him, he couldn't help but ask, "Xuanying, what are you doing?"
"You are tired, let's go to the hot spring first." Xuanying's voice was a little muffled. Without waiting for Ying Yuanxing to answer, he directly pestered Ying Yuanxing and flew to the back mountain.
