==================
Lian Yun gave the task of taking care of the fields to Mary, and planned to talk about this with Gary later and add it to the task list first.
"But we don't need so many people here right now," Lanna reminded.
Lian Yun: "I know, so I plan to send some people to go to the cave with you and Aibei. What do you think?"
You can kill frogs, which is also a source of food and experience.
Lanner thought for a moment. "Okay. But they might need some training."
"You guys can arrange that," Lian Yun nodded. "I still have a few days' worth of meat reserves here. It's best to act before they run out."
She paused, then said, "I'll go with you then."
The last time they went there, they discovered that the pool was connected to a deeper cave. If there were no frogs in the outer cave next time they went, they would have to find a way to go deeper into the next cave.
"Oh right," Lian Yun suddenly remembered something and looked around, "Where are the fishermen summoned by the summoning box?"
She remembered the fishermen returning with them.
Lanna turned around and took Lianyun in one direction, and soon they saw the fishermen.
[Fisherman No. 1685] turned his back to them and squatted at the mouth of the well, bored.
The two men walked around him and found that he was holding a fishing rod in his hand with the hook thrown into the bottom of the well, with a look of despair on his face.
Lian Yun: "...For a puppet born to be a fisherman, not being able to fish is so cruel."
So she immediately decided: "Next time we will bring him along."
By the way, she also has fishing skills, but the last five skills have not been activated yet, and she doesn't know if they can be used.
After confirming that fisherman No. 1685 was just depressed and there was no big problem, Lian Yun took Lanna to the store to refresh today's purchase limit.
[One bag of Growth Hormone Fertilizer (Advanced): Contains all the nutrients your plants need, allowing them to grow rapidly and mature overnight.]
[Price: 999 gold coins]
After Lian Yun clicked to purchase, he handed it to Lana behind him and asked him to pass it to Meili later.
It just so happens that Mary is taking care of the lotus leaf. If it can grow up overnight, Mary will also feel a sense of accomplishment.
I also randomly drew a daily lucky bag and got a [three-piece stationery set].
Includes a quill pen, a blank sheet of paper, and a bottle of ink.
After asking Lana and learning that these things existed in this world, Lian Yun was a little disappointed.
I haven't drawn anything useful for several times. It's either some ordinary food or some small items.
Although Lian Yun can use them, what she wants more now is something that can help the development and construction of the town.
.
the next day.
Gary came to Lian Yun early to report on the formulation of the rules.
"It's done so quickly?" Lian Yun was indeed a little surprised. She thought it would take at least two days.
Gary smiled and said, "There aren't many tasks I can do right now. I'll improve as time goes by when there are more."
Because Lianyun only has gold coins now, Gary plans to use a points system to exchange tasks and rewards.
Different points are allocated according to the importance of the tasks, and residents can accept tasks according to their abilities and needs.
After the task is completed, Gary will distribute points based on the degree and quality of the task.
All points were recorded by Gerry.
This is not an easy workload, especially when the number of residents and the complexity of things increase in the future, so Buck and Bart beside Gary will assist him in managing these affairs.
According to Gerry's rules, the points that can be obtained by formal residents and temporary residents are different.
Even though Gerry is now also a temporary resident, he still said he would be paid according to the rules to set an example.
"Now Lanna has formed a team with five people. Lanna will train these people every day. In the future, they will shoulder the responsibility of protecting the town and going out on adventures. What do you think?"
This was what Lana asked him to report to Lian Yun, and Lian Yun agreed very much.
The town's protective shield only lasts for one year. After one year, the town will be exposed to all monsters. When high-level monsters pass by, the town can no longer shield its existence.
Lian Yun was not sure how far Bubu Town would develop in just one year, so the sooner such a team was established, the better. It was always better to take precautions before things get out of hand.
Because Lana is the only one in charge, there are only five members in the team now. Lian Yun believes that this number is enough for the town's current needs.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the town for now. The main place to go out is the cave.
The frogs in the cave were not even as dangerous to them as Lanner and Abe were to the frogs.
In general, the team's main task at present is to avoid killing themselves and to be able to protect themselves when facing monsters.
"Believe me, sir. Lanner is a man of great vision. The adults he selected are all brave, resourceful, and hardworking," said Gerry. "I believe they will give you a satisfactory answer."
Lian Yun nodded. She also believed that since Lana was chosen, there should be no problem.
but……
"Did Lana tell you?" Lian Yun mentioned what happened the night before. Although nothing happened last night, it still made people feel uneasy.
Gerry's expression darkened. "Yes, sir. Regarding the person who broke into your room... It's not that I'm trying to protect him, but I just don't have any clue."
"I don't think any of them have the ability to jump to the second floor in one leap."
"They are all ordinary human beings."
Lian Yun grasped some information and paused. "You mean, apart from the few people we know so far... everyone else is human?"
"Yes, except for me and Buck..." Gerry was stunned. "You mean, Buck?"
"No." She didn't say that.
But both of them knew that, at the moment, Buck was probably the only one who had this possibility.
Gary stopped talking. He rubbed his stiff face, unwilling to think about this possibility.
[Ding—Congratulations, Lord, for completing the side quest.]
[Side Quest: Agriculture is the Third Productive Force (I): Grow Lotus. (Completed)]
[Quest Reward: Ten sets of farm tools.]
[Ding—Congratulations, Lord! The "Farming" seed copying skill has been unlocked!]
[Ding—Congratulations to the Lord for successfully reaching level 5 and unlocking the new store mode.]
Lian Yun was a little overwhelmed by the series of reminder sounds. When she came to her senses, she found Lina standing at the door.
"Sister! The lotus has bloomed, but it..." Lina gestured happily and anxiously, unable to explain clearly for a moment, so she had to run over and pull Lian Yun's sleeve out.
Lian Yun trotted after her until he saw the flower in the field...
No, it's three!
Three extremely large lotus flowers were blooming side by side, one of them was so big that three people could hug it, and the part below the lotus leaf was growing...vines?
Mary stood under the three lotus flowers, stroking the lotus vines with a peaceful look on her face.
This scene is very similar to the Thumbelina in the fairy tale book that Lian Yun read when he was a child.
…Even though I used growth hormone, this speed is too disgusting!
Looking at the surprised faces of the people around him, Lian Yun actually felt that the scene was particularly harmonious.
"The adults are here," Merry noticed her and gave her a faint smile, "It's so beautiful."
"And you see? It's still growing."
Upon hearing this, Lian Yun stared at the lotus flowers intently, and indeed noticed that spores were growing at the branches of the three lotus flowers connecting to the lotus leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No one wanted to miss this scene, and Lian Yun was no exception.
She was no longer in a hurry to check the reminder, and she sent someone to get some food for them to eat while waiting.
They stared together for several hours, watching the spore slowly swell, taking shape bit by bit, and gradually becoming the one Lian Yun was familiar with -
Lotus pod.
"Ah!" Lina exclaimed in surprise, "What is this used for?"
Lian Yun touched his chin, thinking about the possibility of making soup with lotus seeds.
Meili stood on tiptoe, reached out her hand to hold up a lotus pod and examined it carefully. Suddenly she said, "Sir, it seems like..."
Before she finished speaking, her feet landed on the ground, and the lotus pod fell with her.
Mary didn't dare to move, thinking that she had broken the lotus pod, but when she turned around, she found that the stem of the lotus pod had actually stretched automatically.
The lotus pod in her hand was still firmly attached to the ground.
"It can stretch?!" Lina said in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
"Sir?" Meili looked at Lian Yun blankly, expecting an answer.
Lian Yun was also confused and waved at her. Meili held the huge lotus pod all the way over.
After bringing her in front of Lian Yun, Meili stopped.
But the lotus pod in her hand seemed to be unable to stop and continued to stretch forward. Mary quickly grabbed its stem and then turned the pod hole towards the ground.
“Crash—”
“…”
Lian Yun reached out and pinched the lotus pod. The texture was no different from a real lotus pod, except that it was larger and had a line of words on it:
Lotus pods: retractable, absorb water, and irrigate the surrounding soil based on the plant's needs. (Water absorption = irrigation volume)
In other words, this shower head is equivalent to a sprinkler?
Lian Yun opened the task panel and saw a more accurate explanation.
Agriculture is the Third Productive Force (Part 2): Congratulations, you've acquired an irrigation system! Based on the town's development, the system has humanely assigned you the next development task: growing food crops and maintaining self-sufficiency.
So the convenience it brings is that it provides an irrigation system.
Lian Yun nodded in understanding and explained it to everyone.
Mary was generous in her praise: "It is so beautiful and capable!"
Gerry raised his concerns: "But the well is not close, you know."
Even the planting in their village is planned next to the well.
Lian Yun also thought of this. There are still five adults and ten teenagers available, but she can't let everyone carry water back and forth every day.
Purely mechanical and meaningless labor, which has no effect on experience and their abilities.
"It would be nice if there were a canal," said Gary.
But simply bringing water here is relatively easy; the main thing is how to pump the water out of the well.
"Do you know a windmill?" Lian Yun suddenly realized, "It's... something that can be turned by the wind, and with this force, the water in the well can be pumped up."
This was the first time Gerry heard this fantastic idea, and although he was intrigued, he still shook his head regretfully.
He suddenly remembered something and pulled out a stack of blueprints from his pocket. These were the ones Lian Yun had given him yesterday. "Sir, is there the thing you mentioned here?"
Lian Yun took it, flipped through it, and sighed.
Since it is an indoor drawing, there must be no windmill facilities.
She was about to hand it back to him when she saw a page of drawings and her eyes lit up.
"What is this?"
Gary took a closer look and analyzed, "It seems that the energy-carrying stones are used to drive these blades to rotate, bringing coolness to people in hot weather..."
At this point he paused, and suddenly something clicked.
