Chapter 267 The Mutant Fragrant Bean Sprouts
The baffling remarks by "wooden blockhead" had no impact on the sales of Meng Qingyin's insecticide.
The products she sells are always worth the price, especially after the last time she asked about the special soil, the players' trust in her has increased significantly, and they will not be affected by a few words from "blockhead".
Of course, there is another more important reason: the "mask" insecticide is sold out. If players want to stop suffering from black-winged beetles, they can only choose to buy Meng Qingyin's insecticide.
Under the dual impact, Meng Qingyin's more than 500 bottles of insecticide quickly sold out.
Most players failed to snag a unit and are now clamoring for Meng Qingyin to release more units.
Meng Qingyin didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money, but the growth of dragon's beard grass takes time. Even though watering it with pea water could shorten its growth time, it still took about a day.
The newly planted dragon's beard grass won't be ready until tomorrow morning.
She posted in the chat that "the insecticide won't be available until tomorrow," telling players not to wait any longer, and then closed the chat.
After solving the problem of the mutated dragon's beard grass, Qingfeng began to bury himself in researching the effects of electricity or gasoline on pea growth.
Meng Qingyin didn't disturb her and went to the planting room alone.
The details of Task 2 are to plant and harvest ten different crops, and the current progress is only 1/10.
Although it is now clear that pea water can promote crop growth, this task still takes time and cannot be rushed.
This morning, when Meng Qingyin was planting the mutated dragon's beard grass, she found that the bean sprouts were almost mature. Of course, this was only because the bean sprouts had been watered with water suitable for peas.
Bean sprouts that are watered less, more, or with ordinary water will grow slightly worse.
Almost a morning has passed, and Meng Qingyin estimates that the fastest batch should be ripe by now, since bean sprouts have a relatively short growth cycle.
Because of the mutation of the dragon's beard grass that had occurred earlier, Meng Qingyin kept the door of the planting room carriage closed to prevent other crops from experiencing uncertain mutations again.
She opened the car door, and a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted towards her.
Meng Qingyin immediately became alert and spotted the unusually thick bean sprout—no, it could no longer be called a bean sprout. Its plant had grown to nearly a meter tall, with two unusually large, grass-green leaves at the top and a small white flower blooming in the center.
She immediately took a step back and slammed the car door shut.
Then, he shouted, "Qingfeng! The bean sprouts have mutated!"
Qingfeng's room was right next to the planting room. Meng Qingyin's extremely loud shout startled her, and she almost dropped the dropper in her hand.
Upon hearing this, she immediately put down the dropper, got up, and headed into the planting room.
Meng Qingyin stopped her: "The planting room has a strange fragrance. I don't know if it's harmful. You should take precautions before going in."
As she spoke, she rummaged through her system inventory and found the gas mask she had bought years ago. "Here, wear this."
Qingfeng glanced at her hand and said, "This thing looks impressive, but it's just a decoration."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Well, the outdoor gear store owner made it sound so amazing, she thought she'd gotten a great deal.
So it was all just for show?
"Master, don't go in. I'm going back to get my own equipment. Also, you smelled that strange fragrance earlier. If you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell me!" After saying that, she hurriedly left.
Meng Qingyin waited quietly in the car.
Soon, Qingfeng appeared fully armed, and it's no exaggeration to say that Meng Qingyin couldn't even recognize her.
Qingfeng was wearing a silver-gray protective suit and a thick oxygen mask on his head. The mask and suit were integrated, making it look extremely bulky.
Qingfeng gave her a wink, then pushed open the door and went into the planting room.
During this time, she went in and out several times, taking the instruments from her room to the planting room, and asking Meng Qingyin to wait for the results in other carriages, while opening the window and closing the door of her room.
They were afraid that the unusual fragrance might be harmful to the human body.
Meng Qingyin naturally knew what was important and what was urgent. She did everything Qingfeng said and then went to the front carriage to wait patiently.
She knew she couldn't help, and the only thing she could do was trust Qingfeng.
She also specifically told Zaizai, Yuanbao, and the hen not to run to the last two carriages unless necessary, saying that Qingfeng was researching a very important crop.
Zaizai and Yuanbao readily agreed, even lowering their voices to avoid disturbing Qingfeng's important research.
Qingfeng stayed in the planting room all day and didn't come out.
During this time, Meng Qingyin messaged her to come out for a meal so they could continue their research. Qingfeng simply replied, "We'll eat after we finish our research." Meng Qingyin had no choice but to heat up the food for her so that she would have a hot meal to eat when she finished her research.
However, she should give Qingfeng some advice later: being engrossed in research is not a bad thing; people with pure hearts are more likely to succeed.
However, Qingfeng became so engrossed in his research that he would stop eating, drinking, and sleeping, which was very harmful to his health in the long run.
Preoccupied with Qingfeng's ongoing research, Meng Qingyin ate her dinner without tasting anything.
The hen had no worms to eat tonight, and as if afraid of being "discarded after serving her purpose" by Meng Qingyin, it clucked a few times and then laid a warm egg.
It ran up to Meng Qingyin as if seeking praise, raised its head and barked a few more times.
Meng Qingyin, however, did not understand his good intentions and gave him a few perfunctory compliments.
The hen continued clucking a few more times, and Meng Qingyin looked at the chick in confusion, asking it what the hen was saying.
The little one explained, "Master, it says you don't need it to catch bugs anymore, but it can still lay eggs. Please don't abandon it."
Meng Qingyin looked at the eggs on the ground with a wry smile. So the hen was afraid that she would abandon her after using her, and create new value for herself?
She reassured him, "Don't worry, you're a great contributor to our family, always will be. I'll never abandon you."
The hen felt relieved and strolled over to the peas.
This time, without Zai Zai explaining, Meng Qingyin understood what it meant: "Eat as much as you want, there are plenty of peas."
At this point, the hen was completely relieved.
But players began to worry about the black-winged beetles that arrived as expected after dark.
Only a minority of players managed to buy the insecticide; many who didn't were complaining bitterly, exhausted after battling these little bugs for days on end.
Of course, even those who manage to buy insecticides are not entirely without worries.
Some people bought the "mask" insecticide, which could only kill black-winged beetles. After enjoying two or three hours of peace, the eggs they laid grew up and inherited the blood will of the previous generation, tirelessly biting the players.
Moreover, the insecticide sold by "Mask" has a really pungent smell. Even with a mask on, it's unbearable to smell after spraying it several times in the closed car.
Moreover, some players suffer from rhinitis and other conditions that make them particularly sensitive to pungent odors. After spraying insecticide, the black-winged beetles disappeared, but their noses simply couldn't stand it.
However, players who purchased Meng Qingyin's insecticide did not have these concerns. They only needed to spray the entire carriage with the insecticide to eliminate the black-winged beetles and their eggs.
Of course, some people might say that insect eggs are invisible to the naked eye, so how do you know that the insecticide has killed the insect eggs as well?
Players who have used "Mengmeng" insecticide have the most to say on this. They were able to sleep soundly for a night after spraying it, which means that the insect eggs were also killed.
The person who questioned whether insecticides could kill insect eggs that are so small they are invisible to the naked eye is now being harassed by black-winged beetles.
