Chapter 254 Mission Refreshed, Qingfeng's Help
Meng Qingyin made 200 ceramic basins in one go.
The task completion notification sounded, but Meng Qingyin didn't even look at it. She first sent the miniature planting ceramic pots to Chen Leying and the others.
After sending them all, she still had 150 left.
Only then did I begin to examine the tasks.
[Current task: Plant and harvest ten different crops in the planting pot.]
Task Hint: Crops here will not produce seeds. Seeds can be obtained in the following ways: 1. They may appear in supply crates. 2. They can be purchased from the planter Qingfeng or the merchant Lear. This is a mandatory task; completing it will unlock the next task.
Sure enough, now that we have planting pots, it's time to start planting.
Looking at the mission prompt, Meng Qingyin's gaze darkened.
Besides opening boxes and purchasing from Qingfeng and Lear, there is another way to obtain seeds.
That is to obtain seeds directly using a seed collector.
But why wasn't this method mentioned in the task prompt?
Meng Qingyin messaged 007: "007, did you miss one of the task hints you gave me? Why isn't the seed collector included?"
007: [The Seed Collector is not an item that can be obtained through normal means, so it has no significance for players and therefore is not included in this item.]
Meng Qingyin understood. It was because there was only one way to obtain the seed collector: Zhang Yan's ability to switch regions.
She couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of this ability, which allowed her to obtain such extraordinary items.
Meng Qingyin opened the chat channel unconsciously, only to find that Zhang Yan's avatar had gone black again.
Has this person switched regions again?
That makes sense. With such a powerful ability—getting powerful items by switching zones—it's definitely worth making good use of it.
No longer delving into Zhang Yan's matter, Meng Qingyin began searching for seeds.
This task is not just about planting; it also involves harvesting.
Since it's about harvesting, we need to plant crops with short growth cycles.
Unfortunately, she had mixed all the crop seeds together and couldn't tell which seed belonged to which crop.
Even if she could distinguish them, she wasn't entirely clear on the specific harvest time for each crop.
It's not that she knew nothing at all. For example, she knew that scallions have a shorter growth cycle than wheat, but she couldn't tell her the exact number of days.
She was just an ordinary office worker and had no idea about these things.
but……
She has a gentle breeze!
Qingfeng is a planter, so he must understand the growth cycle of every crop.
As for the mixed crop seeds, she was dazzled by them, but Qingfeng was an expert and would definitely be able to tell them apart!
This apprentice was the right choice!
Meng Qingyin sent a message to Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, are you still researching peas? Any progress? I've run into a little trouble..."
Qingfeng did not return.
Meng Qingyin couldn't help but wonder, was he busy studying peas and didn't notice her message?
The next moment, Qingfeng arrived directly!
She had faint dark circles under her eyes, but she was completely unaware of it. Instead, she asked with concern, "Master, what trouble have you encountered? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Qingfeng's enthusiasm made Meng Qingyin feel embarrassed. "Qingfeng, how's your research going?"
Qingfeng smiled and said, "I'm researching the effects of electricity on crop growth, and I've made some progress."
"That's wonderful!" Meng Qingyin was genuinely happy for her. "I knew you could do it!"
"It's all thanks to your teaching, Master. If it weren't for your inspiration that day, I wouldn't have had that sudden enlightenment," Qingfeng said.
Meng Qingyin blushed with embarrassment. "You're really something else."
Qingfeng asked seriously, "Master, what trouble have you encountered?"
Meng Qingyin took out the seeds from the bottle: "These crop seeds are mixed together and I can't tell them apart. Can you help me identify them?"
Qingfeng was somewhat surprised. "Master, are you going to grow crops?"
Meng Qingyin nodded, "Yes, and I'll also have to trouble you to tell me which crops have short growth cycles and can be harvested in a short time."
Qingfeng replied without hesitation, "If we're just looking at the growth cycle, the one with the shortest growth cycle is the Dragon Beard Grass. It only takes one day from planting the seed to maturity."
Meng Qingyin's eyes lit up. "One day? But what is Dragon Beard Grass? And how do you obtain its seeds?"
Qingfeng: "It's a leafy vegetable with a slightly bitter taste. I have some dragon's beard grass seeds. I'll go back in a bit, get them, and bring them to you."
Meng Qingyin sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Qingfeng."
She added, "Are there any other crops with short growth cycles? I need ten of them."
"If we're talking about ten kinds," Qingfeng said, reciting the names of vegetables, "then there are bean sprouts, such as mung bean sprouts, which have a growth cycle of about three days. There are also soybean sprouts, black bean sprouts, and so on. Then there are leafy green vegetables like lettuce, scallions, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, cilantro, garland chrysanthemum, water spinach, and romaine lettuce. If you give them enough water, their growth cycle is about ten to thirty days."
Thirty days is far too long.
"Are there any ways to speed up crop growth?" Meng Qingyin asked.
“The growth of all things follows its own laws, which cannot be violated,” Qingfeng said slowly. “However, pea green wine may be able to do so. It is the essence of plants, and using it to water crops may yield unexpected results.”
Meng Qingyin was overjoyed. "Then if I water the crops with more pea water, it will speed up their growth?"
Qingfeng shook his head. "This is just my guess. It hasn't been verified. It might backfire or cause other problems. These are all potential uncertainties."
“However, Master, if you are in a hurry, I suggest you plant more crops and set up some different control groups. This is the fastest way to test the pea green brew. Of course, I will also help you complete this experiment.”
With Qingfeng's involvement, Meng Qingyin naturally had no worries and agreed to Qingfeng's proposal.
Qingfeng quickly selected the aforementioned seeds from a bottle of seeds.
Before leaving, Qingfeng suddenly said, "By the way, Master, before planting crops, you need to lay a layer of special soil on top. This is to reduce the probability of the crops mutating."
"Plants...mutation?" Meng Qingyin murmured.
