Chapter 32
In the chat channel, players were focused on the fact that the plants in their planting pots were unaffected by the natural disaster. Meanwhile, Qiao Ning had already instantly initiated a trade with the girl named Pei Jing.
She traded it for canned fruit that keeps well, like canned tangerines and canned yellow peaches. They're delicious, high in sugar, and provide vitamins, relieving constipation caused by not eating fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time.
Pei Jing indeed bypassed the transactions of many other players and agreed to hers first.
Both parties felt that exchanging 10 kilograms of mutated beast meat for a 250-gram can of fruit was a very good deal.
Qiao Ning has plenty of canned goods, and she always grows fruit in her planters, frequently opening boxes to get fruit. Given the availability of fresh fruit, she actually prefers natural fruit without any additives and rarely eats canned goods.
She had a special area in her suitcase for fruit, piled high with all sorts of fresh and juicy fruits. It was quite a sight, like a fruit stand in a supermarket.
Qiao Ning traded 50 cans of fruit for 500 jin of mutated beast meat, and then rushed off to conduct a decomposition experiment using a universal toilet flush.
At first, she was worried that if she put in too much meat at once, it wouldn't fit, so she put in 2 pounds first. To her surprise, the meat disappeared instantly as soon as it was put in. There was no problem at all that it was stuffed in.
No wonder it's called the All-Purpose Charger; it really can "charge" anything!
Qiao Ning let go and threw the beast meat in. Five hundred pounds of meat were all thrown in in no time. Then the universal toilet flush display showed:
[Duration Breakdown: 1 Hour Countdown]
While waiting for the universal toilet flush to dissolve, Qiao Ning and Pei Jing chatted for a while.
Her attitude towards Qiao Ning was completely different from when she replied to that man in the chat channel. She showed no impatience, was very enthusiastic, and even a bit too familiar with him.
However, Pei Jing is tactful in her words and actions and does not offend anyone.
Pei Jing: [Sister, do you have a lot of high-sugar food where you are? If so, how about I trade you all the mutated beast meat I get in the future? Let's have a long-term partnership.]
Qiao Ning: [Of course, but could you tell me how you got so much mutated beast meat?]
Pei Jing: [Eh? You didn't know? It's set up in the wilderness. Today, only some players encountered the tollbooth. If you can meet the monsters' extra resource requirements, you can drive onto the special highway. The wilderness area there is full of low-level mutated beasts.]
[They're not easy to kill, but the rewards are quite generous, including a large amount of experience points, stamina potions, equipment, special medicines, and desiccant balls and other dry items. There also seem to be fungicide, mold-killing powder, and powerful sowbug killer.]
[I was unlucky; none of these things dropped, but some lucky people did. They even showed them off in the chat channel. I guess you weren't watching.]
Qiao Ning: ?
No, didn't the man-eating flower Xiao Hong say that the reward for this passage was better? How come it seems that Qiao Ning missed out on a hundred million!
If she could, Qiao Ning would turn back and ask that man-eating flower to switch her back to the path that normal players take.
After a moment of calm reflection, Qiao Ning felt that whether a reward was good or bad should not be judged solely by its quantity and variety, but rather by the reward itself.
One carnivorous flower seed, two green vine seeds, and two rose seeds. The experience gained is more than five times that of others, and it may be more valuable than those resources.
Whether she makes a profit or a loss will only be known once she has planted all the seeds and seen the information.
Qiao Ning and Pei Jing became friends, exchanged some game information, and traded some other supplies. After that, they went to find a suspense drama and took out the snacks they had previously traded or opened from the storage box, including dried apricots, pork jerky, melon seeds, popcorn, potato chips, yam chips, shrimp crackers, and so on.
While eating and watching TV, an hour later, the all-purpose toilet flusher made a "ding" sound, indicating that the decomposition was complete.
The fertilizer trough below was filled with a layer of dark red fertilizer.
She carefully read the fertilizer instructions:
Ordinary radiation-modified animal meat fertilizer, nutrient level 1. After application, every 10 grams of fertilizer can reduce plant growth time by 1 natural disaster hour.
Qiao Ning pressed the fertilizer packaging button on the multi-functional toilet, selected the bag type, and all the fertilizer quickly disappeared, turning into bags of fertilizer.
The bag has small print clearly indicating the production date, shelf life, raw materials, usage instructions, and a safety mark, signifying the fertilizer's quality and safety.
500 jin of radiated animal meat decomposed into 500 grams of fertilizer. For ease of use, Qiao Ning chose different sizes of bags to repackage it: 20 bags of 10 grams each and 3 bags of 100 grams each.
Previously, when Qiao Ning went to the toilet or threw away trash, the dust particles that broke off were extremely fine and so few as to be almost negligible.
And it doesn't always break down; most of the time, you get nothing after breaking it down.
Back then, the universal toilet flush consumed very little electricity per use, but now, when decomposing radiation-mutated beast meat 1, it instantly consumes 5 units of gasoline!
This would take her more than an hour to drive!
Players who don't have a bit of gasoline in stock really wouldn't dare to waste it like that.
These universal toilet flushing devices don't provide any instructions or explanations; you have to figure it out yourself.
Qiao Ning also obtained this information from Pei Jing: for items weighing 500 jin or less, each decomposition requires 5 units of gasoline. However, for lighter items, the decomposition time may be shorter.
Pei Jing had no reason to lie to her about this.
The multi-functional toilet flush is an everyday item, and many players own it. If not everyone has one, then about 70-80% of players do.
Fewer players have planting pots; about 50-60% of players do.
Today, I heard that so many players are using the universal toilet flushing method to decompose and transform into beast meat. Some people have already figured out the rules and techniques. It won't be long before it becomes public game information. Pei Jing would have to be out of her mind to lie to her about something like this.
After Qiao Ning finished decomposing the radiated beast meat, she accelerated the growth of several plants in the planting pot, harvested the fruit, removed the plants, and planted carnivorous flowers, green vines, and roses.
She tried fertilizing them with animal meat, but after only a small amount, the system warned her that the fertilizer could not be absorbed by the plants she was growing.
"So, the fertilizer from the decomposition of radiation-damaged beast meat can only be used to accelerate the growth of ordinary plants? It has no effect on special plants?" Qiao Ning muttered to herself.
She threw the green ivy she had previously obtained into the all-purpose toilet bowl, where 5 complete units were displayed. The decomposition time was 5 minutes and 2 units of gasoline were consumed.
Then I threw in 10 pieces of broken green vines, and it still showed a decomposition time of 5 minutes and consumed 2 units of gasoline.
Qiao Ning threw the remaining 85 whole and broken green vines into the container. This time, the decomposition time was 30 minutes and 2 units of gasoline were consumed.
100 portions of green ivy decompose into 50 grams of plant fertilizer.
The fertilizer description states that each gram can keep the plant in a nutritionally healthy state for 1 hour and shorten the current growth stage by 1 hour.
The growth stages of evolutionary plants are divided into: seed stage, embryo stage, seedling stage, mature stage, and ultimate stage.
The development period from seed stage to embryonic stage is the shortest.
However, this is on the premise that the seeds are kept in a nutritionally healthy state. Once they become malnourished or starving, they will stop growing and developing.
Prolonged malnutrition can cause the seeds of these evolved plants to enter a dormant period, which can be understood as a self-protection mechanism.
The 50-gram radiation-modified plant fertilizer does not specify that it is for green ivy. Does this mean that the plant fertilizer is applicable to all evolved plants?
Qiao Ning tried using plant fertilizer on carnivorous plants, green vines, and roses, and they all actually matured quickly.
She breathed a sigh of relief; at least it was a general-purpose fertilizer. Otherwise, she would have been in more trouble.
Qiao Ning carefully examined the developmental stages of the three types of evolved plants. Currently, she could only observe the two stages: from seed stage to embryonic stage and from embryonic stage to seedling stage.
Green vines take 4 hours to develop into buds, roses take 5 hours, and carnivorous plants...
Um?
Did she read that right? The man-eating plant needs 1000 hours? It even has a special note saying "It has reached the upper limit of development time for this stage".
Qiao Ning remained silent for a while before dissecting the rose corpse. 500 portions of rose yielded 275 grams of plant fertilizer.
The total of 325 grams of fertilizer wasn't even enough to fill the man-eating plant's teeth, so she simply used it to accelerate the growth of the green vines first, and used the rest to maintain the nutritional health of the roses and the man-eating plant.
It takes 16 hours for a green ivy to grow from embryo to seedling; 32 hours for a seedling to mature; and 48 hours for a mature to ultimate form. Adding the 4 hours from seed to embryo, the total time is 100 hours.
For roses, the time is 5 hours for the embryo, 20 hours for the seedling, 40 hours for the mature stage, and 60 hours for the ultimate stage, for a total of 125 hours.
The carnivorous plant needs to consume 10 grams of fertilizer per hour to maintain its nutrition, while the green ivy and roses each consume 1 gram per hour.
After Qiao Ning finished ripening the green wisteria, she still had 225 grams of fertilizer left. If she could enter the variegated plant field as usual tomorrow, then this remaining fertilizer would be enough to provide nutrients for the roses and carnivorous plants.
Qiao Ning fed the Green Vine to its ultimate form in one go. Because it had always grown smoothly from one stage to another, she subconsciously thought that it would be the same from the mature form to the ultimate form, as long as there was enough fertilizer.
However, when she supplied the required fertilizer and reduced the development time to 0, a system notification popped up—
[Detected that the energy of the evolved plant "Mature Green Wisteria" planted by player Qiao Ning has been fully charged. Do you want to break through and advance to the ultimate form?]
The choice is (Mature Green Wisteria, with a 1% chance of successfully breaking through to the Ultimate form.)
Choose No (30% chance the Green Vine will successfully digest the energy and remain in its mature state. 70% chance the Green Vine will explode and be destroyed)
Qiao Ning remained expressionless as she read on. This was simply too much of a rip-off; why was such important information only being revealed now!
This game is ridiculous! Will they die if they don't dig holes?!
Qiao Ning rubbed her forehead for a long time before finally deciding to break through. Her lucky star passive hadn't been triggered yet, so she could only pin her hopes on her luck value.
If the auspicious star doesn't arrive, all 100 grams of fertilizer will be wasted, and it will also ruin one of her Green Vine Evolutions.
She only had this much fertilizer and seeds.
This was the first time Qiao Ning had ever waited so nervously for the results. In the past, whether she was drawing blind boxes or opening boxes, she was always very confident in her luck.
This was the only time she felt uncertain.
The Lucky Star passive ability is supposed to be triggered once a day, but you can't choose when it will trigger.
Qiao Ning waited anxiously for about three minutes. When the breakthrough progress bar was full, a golden system notification instantly appeared in all channels across the entire region—
It even featured an incredibly eye-catching golden bullet screen (accompanied by a female system voice), making it impossible for anyone not to see or hear it.
[Congratulations to player Qiao Ning for being the first to obtain the plant-type pet "Green Wisteria," unlocking the pet system in Zone 1408. Afterwards, everyone can choose to enter either the mutated creature wilderness or the regular wilderness. Other players, keep up the good work!]
Qiao Ning: "..." She knew it!
If insulting the system doesn't result in being banned or locked out, she could curse it for three days and three nights straight.
