Chapter 44
[Congratulations on exceeding level 5 for the first time. You will be rewarded with a seed claw machine.]
[Seed Rotator: This is a magical machine that can rotate seeds. In the world of plant mutation, owning a seed is a rare thing. Plant it in fertile soil and you will reap a bountiful harvest. Come and experience it~]
This machine is bound to the system like a random check pool, and is on the same interface as the card drawing pool, so Ye Qing guessed that its operating principle also relies on luck.
One relies on pulling, the other relies on grabbing.
However, the card drawing pool is activated by the number of card draws rewarded by each upgrade and completion of side quests. I don’t know what the energy of this claw machine is used to activate.
Ye Qing clicked on the second-ranked rotary machine and checked it word by word.
【Number of times you can use it*0 times.】
【Remaining points*500,000.】
The number of times can be redeemed with points, and 10,000 points can be redeemed once. The points come from the invisible evaluations of residents and tourists in the shelter every time they consume. For example, if you think the room is comfortable, it counts as 1 point; if you think the food is delicious, it counts as 1 point; if you think the service staff has a good attitude, it also counts as a point.
In short, as long as you spend money and give a positive review of the shelter, the system will automatically recognize it and collect it as redemption points. Positive reviews don't need to be spoken out loud, as long as they are in your heart.
The shelter has a population of over ten thousand, and each person consumes at least three times a day, so the points earned are very considerable.
Ye Qing happily exchanged 500,000 points for 50 spins, and then clicked "Use All".
Then she appeared in a blank space. The space was boundless, and in the middle was a 2-meter-high pink claw machine, exactly as displayed on the system interface.
She thought it would be a virtual draw like drawing from a card pool, but she didn't expect that there would actually be a real thing, which gave her a full experience.
【Ding~The machine has started.】
The sound of the wheel axle turning was heard, and Ye Qing turned and stood in front of the big claw machine, staring at it intently.
It has the same structure as the claw machines in shopping malls before the apocalypse, but it is twice as big.
The machine started up, and an iron clamp extended from the top of the machine. Then the machine's round belly began to roll up and down like boiling porridge.
Ye Qing stared at it carefully for a while and found that there were various fist-sized dolls inside, which all looked cute like plants to the naked eye.
This is similar to the principle of a claw machine, where you need to aim in the direction and press the confirmation button.
But this is the same as a regular claw machine. The dolls in the claw machine do not move, while the dolls in the seed claw machine are lively and energetic. In addition, the probability of winning in the claw machine is a problem, so Ye Qing guessed that it should be quite difficult.
At first, I was proud of how easy it was to earn points, but now I gradually understand that everything is a routine.
At least every card in the lottery pool has supplies, and 10 consecutive draws will definitely produce excellent items, but if you are unlucky with this claw machine, you may not get anything.
As expected, Ye Qing tried five times in a row, but either he didn't aim at the object or the clamp was loose.
Although it is fun, it tests one's patience, especially when the precious number of grabs is saved up day by day.
However, Ye Qing did not lose heart. She learned from her previous failures. First, she observed the position of the dolls, gave up the fruits she liked, and gave priority to the dolls near the exit.
Then she adjusted the position of the gripper and found that generally it was a better choice to aim the gripper at the doll's body or head.
Finally, use the swing of the grappling hook to throw the doll out of the exit.
Experience is still useful. Ye Qing adjusted step by step, and finally caught a doll on the 8th attempt. When the little doll fell from the exit, she was so excited that tears almost fell.
She lifted the baffle and took out the small doll from the slot. The doll was small and exquisite, made of high crystal and ultra-soft material. It felt smooth to the touch and she couldn't let it go.
Its shape is a bunch of grinning purple grapes, and the designer thoughtfully added eyes and a nose to it, making it look very cute.
There is a small gold label on the grape stem with a few words printed on it - Exploding Grapes.
Ye Qing guessed that this was the name of the grapes. Judging from its grinning face, it was indeed quite explosive. However, he did not expect that the system was so interesting and specially gave a name to a bunch of grapes.
There was a seed tied to the exploding grape doll, the size of a thumb, and shiny black all over. Ye Qing guessed that it was probably a grape seed.
She plans to set up a special planting area in the shelter and build a grape trellis so that people can enjoy the coolness in the summer and eat the fruit in the autumn.
It had been a long time since Ye Qing had tasted fruit, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Putting the grape doll aside, she rolled up her sleeves and continued working.
50 chances were enough for her to experience the claw machine enough. Fortunately, the system's claw machines did not have extremely low probabilities like those of the unscrupulous merchants in other small worlds. Ye Qing drew a doll every few times.
She gradually got into the groove, becoming more and more courageous. Finally, the system prompted her that she had not tried enough times, so she had to stop regretfully.
Ye Qing did not check immediately, but retreated with a bunch of dolls. She sat down in front of the exclusive sofa in the hall and placed all the dolls on the coffee table.
There were always people coming and going in the hall. When they saw Ye Qing coming out with a bunch of cute dolls, they couldn't help but come over to watch. Especially the girls, they couldn't walk when they saw the cute things and wanted to hold them in their hands and play with them immediately.
"Boss, is this the legendary doll?"
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then had a new idea: "Well, you can say that."
"So cute, so ugly-cute."
"Yeah, it makes me feel good just looking at it."
When she grabbed the dolls, she did so in a chaotic manner without looking at them carefully. Now, all the items on the table are clearly visible, including traditional dolls and other bottles and jars.
Divide the dolls and other items into two groups, line them up in a row, and start removing the seeds one by one.
There is a yellow "Bawang Banana" that looks like a dinosaur, a "Cherry Bomb" that looks like twins, a "Beast Kiwi" with exaggerated hair, and a "Magic Lemon" holding a scepter, plus the "Exploding Grapes" that you drew at the beginning, there are now a total of 5 kinds of fruits.
There are also non-doll-shaped material bags, also fist-sized, some in canvas bags, some in glass bottles. The names are also bizarre, such as "Nectar and Jade Liquid" (2 bottles), "Northeast Black Soil" (2 bags), and "Classic Organic Fertilizer" (2 bags).
The system is particularly considerate. It not only provides seeds but also provides seed material packages. Perhaps it is worried that plants cannot be grown in the barren land of the apocalypse.
Ye Qing put the seeds away and stared at the remaining dolls on the coffee table.
She discovered that everyone liked these dolls very much, so instead of wasting them in their bedrooms, she decided to put them outside for everyone to enjoy.
In the housing section of the system mall, I chose a low glass display cabinet and placed it under the TV. Then I placed several dolls with the seeds removed in the cabinet.
She glanced at the girls who were eager to try it out and chuckled, "You can borrow it to play with it, but you can't take it away~"
"Really? Thank you, boss! We will definitely take good care of it."
After saying that, he rushed to the bottom of the TV cabinet and carefully fought for the plant doll.
The glass cabinet is placed in the lobby, which is a public area, which means it has its own cleaning function. Ye Qing is not worried that they will dirty the dolls. It is of excellent quality and there is no need to worry about them being torn.
Then she walked out of the shelter, and now the open space area was nearly 100,000 square meters.
The residential area was built in the middle and would continue to expand in the future due to population growth. If plants were planted near the building, it would be difficult to arrange future upgrades. So she walked to the periphery of the shelter and planted plants there, leaving a certain amount of development space for the residential area.
As the shelter grew larger, residents had a wider range of activities, but the open space was bare, and most of the space was still concentrated in the area around the comprehensive building.
At first, there were only a few people there, but later on, there was no one there at all. It was very quiet and only the restless sounds of the strange beasts could be heard.
Ye Qing stopped a hundred meters away from the protective shield and took out a large machete from the weapons shop behind him. Without any farming tools, he could only make do with this for the time being.
The land in the end times is barren and hard, as hard as a hammer. How can any living plants be grown on such land?
She remembered the material package she had just picked up from the claw machine and decisively took out a bag of "Northeast Black Soil" from her pocket.
When all the black soil was poured out, she closed the bag again. A bag of black soil was only the size of a fist, and she couldn't plant a single seed by pouring it this way.
Ye Qing carefully shook out half a bag of black soil like the auntie flipping the spoon in the cafeteria.
As soon as the black soil came into contact with the soil, it quickly merged with the originally barren land and began to spread with it as the center. Ye Qing stood up with an exclamation, staring straight at the trajectory of the black soil's spread.
"More, more!"
Finally, the black soil stopped spreading, and the final result was a large circle with a radius of 1 meter. The land inside the circle was black and shiny, and it was obvious that it was rich in nutrients, which distinguished it from the rigid loess around it.
As expected of a material package extracted from the system, it was incredibly powerful. She followed the same procedure, pouring the remaining black soil down, creating a row of five large circles.
Then he took out a large machete from the weapons shop behind him, put his skills into the machete and started digging the ground. There were no planting tools in the mall, so he could only make do with it. When there was a chance in the future, he would ask Wang Peng to use the forging furnace to make a set of farming tools.
In less than a minute, five pits were dug out, each pit was 3 meters apart, which was the optimal plant planting spacing she calculated.
Throw in a few precious seeds and cover it with the dug-out soil.
Finally, there are two material packages left, "Nectar" and "Classic Organic Fertilizer".
She thought about it, put away the "classic organic fertilizer", opened a bottle of "nectar" and watered the seeds she had just sown one by one.
"Gujiguji."
The effect of "Jade Liquid" was very powerful. As soon as it was poured, the sound of seeds breaking out of their shells was heard. Ye Qing stared at the raised piece of land.
Immediately afterwards, a tender green seedling broke out of the soil. Its branches were straight and strong, and there were two thick green leaves on its head.
The seedling did not stop growing. Its branches continued to grow upward, and the green leaves began to slowly grow larger.
Ye Qing was excited and stared at it until it grew into a 10-centimeter-long sapling.
It turns out that "Qiongjiangyuye" is a nutrient that can accelerate plant growth. It really lives up to its nice name.
Knowing its efficacy, Ye Qing simply poured the remaining bottle of "nectar" into it, and the 10-centimeter sapling was instantly grown to 20 centimeters.
I used to worry that it would take too much time for the seeds to germinate, grow into big trees, and then bloom and bear fruit. Now it seems there is a shortcut.
Activating the claw machine requires points, which are earned through employee evaluations. In the future, we must work hard to guide employees to give more evaluations.
