Chapter 8 Chapter 8 "Limited Time Special 10 Points"
A random event? And it's limited to ten minutes! ?
Ye Mian woke up immediately, jumped up from the bed, put on his shoes quickly and rushed downstairs.
The sound of her footsteps as she came down the stairs was a little loud. She worked too late last night, so she just took a quick shower on the first floor. Xue Kai, who was sleeping in his own sleeping bag, was a little dazed when he was woken up, and then subconsciously followed suit and became panic-stricken.
"What happened? Are the mutants attacking us?"
He grabbed a few handfuls of hair and followed Ye Mian out. He picked up the hoe beside him and looked around for suspicious enemies.
Ye Mian was just anxious but not panicked, so he found the target at the first moment.
——The corn seeds she planted with her own hands last night have grown into a green cornfield, and many firm and plump fruits have formed on the two-meter-high corn stalks.
And right next to the cornfield, a big creature that didn't seem to belong to the farm was basking in the morning sunshine, quietly waiting for her arrival.
After a while, Xue Kai also discovered the thing and opened his mouth in shock: "Oh my God..."
It was a vending machine with retractable mechanical hands and feet, like a robot.
When Ye Mian and the others walked over, it smiled widely and made a lively electronic sound: "Oh, lovely farmer, welcome to the Dream Vending Machine to buy goods."
Then the screen flashed and changed back to the preview of a dazzling array of products.
However, they only look fancy, but in fact the categories are very simple, just various kinds of crop seeds.
Ye Mian first glanced at the price displayed below one of the seeds: "100 points."
It turns out that points can be used here.
But the cheapest one is 100 points, and the more expensive ones may even cost hundreds or thousands of points.
Seeing that she didn't move for a while, Xue Kai couldn't help but ask: "You should have points, right?"
Yes, yes. Ye Mian opened the farm option in the system and fell silent when he looked at the 165 points.
...At least I can still afford the same seeds!
Ye Mian closed the system interface and began to look through the seeds available: "What kind of seeds do you think are good to buy? Within 100 points."
"Ah? Ah... let me see."
Xue Kai didn't expect Ye Mian to be so short of money, but then he thought that it shouldn't be surprising since she had gotten the system not long ago.
The cheap ones in the vending machines are some common vegetable seeds, the rarer ones are a little more expensive, and some seeds like rapeseed, beans, sesame, cotton are also relatively expensive. The most expensive are the seeds of fruits, flowers, plants and trees.
"If you must buy, then go for tomato or pepper seeds. The former can be eaten as fruit and can also be used to make ketchup, while the latter can add a different flavor to many dishes."
"Hmm," Ye Mian first recalled the taste of peppers, then silently chose tomatoes, "Wait..."
Ye Mian flipped to the bottom and saw that they were all expensive seeds. She was about to flip up to look for tomatoes, but just then she seemed to catch a glimpse of a red eye-catching mark, so she quickly flipped down again.
"What?"
Xue Kai was wondering when he saw Ye Mian stopped moving his hands. The screen showed two kinds of seeds, peach and olive, and the price below was 1,000 points for each.
However, this time the original price was crossed out by a black line, and a bracket was added at the end with "Limited time special offer 10 points" written in red font.
!!!
Xue Kai was still in shock, but Ye Mian had already clicked to buy without hesitation. After the purchase, the preview images of the two products dimmed, indicating that they were sold out.
Then Ye Mian swiped the screen again and found a tomato among the vegetable seeds at the top and bought it.
Then there was a buzzing sound, and the vending machine's hands retracted. When it stretched out again, there were three more bags of seeds.
"Please accept your purchase."
Ye Mian reached out to take it and looked at the label on the back of the bag. The tomato seeds came in a pack of fifty, while the peach and olive seeds only came in a pack of one.
This makes sense, after all, peaches and olives are fruit trees, and one tree can produce a lot of fruit and survive for a long time.
“Can we plant them directly?”
After getting Xue Kai's affirmative answer, Ye Mian handed all the seeds to him and went to look through the vending machine to see if there were any other surprises.
But after ten minutes, the dream vending machine politely said goodbye and no new discoveries were made.
After watching it disappear out of thin air, Ye Mian officially looked at the cornfield in front of him.
It seemed like a breeze was blowing, the green leaves swayed gently, making a rustling sound, and a faint fragrance naturally penetrated into the nose.
"The peaches are planted in front of the door, and the olives are planted behind the house. It will probably take a while for them to grow and bear fruit."
After planting the fruit trees, Xue Kai approached the corn field and looked at the state of the corn. He came to a conclusion: "The corn will mature in about ten hours. We can pick it and eat it after a while."
Hearing this, Ye Mian couldn't help but glance at the rising sun, and then guessed: "Then the vegetables will be mature in three hours."
The cabbage, lettuce and coriander planted last night have matured and are growing lush, green and tender.
"Yes," Xue Kai looked at the vegetable field where the harvested vegetables had not changed much, "It seems there will be no second crop."
Ye Mian nodded: "Then let's dig some tomatoes."
Although it is a bit regrettable, the old must go before the new can come. We can only hope for extra gains and surprises in the future.
"I'll go check on the potatoes later, and then make breakfast first. Go wash up."
Watching Xue Kai walk through the vegetable garden to the potato field, Ye Mian finally remembered to brush away her long hair that was flying freely, then turned around and went into the house and upstairs.
After a quick wash and tying up her long hair, Ye Mian opened the farm information and took a look. Today's spiritual essence was 3+1, and the chance of additional harvest was estimated to be half less than yesterday.
Fortunately, I planted a lot last night, and I hope to make up for the difference with the harvest.
Compared to this, what really gives Ye Mian a headache is the points.
I just spent 120 points, and only 45 are left. If a similar random event happens again and there are no limited-time specials, it would be a waste.
It is too slow to rely solely on the main quest to earn points. You should try the side quests and go hunting.
After all, one piece of rhenium stone is worth one hundred points, enough to buy a bag of seeds.
If it was only one piece, Ye Mian would be reluctant to exchange it for the time being, but he would be willing to do so if it was a few more pieces.
It seems I have to take Dahei out for a look.
But before that, I still have to finish harvesting the vegetables.
On the other side, Xue Kai, who was busy downstairs, had already cooked breakfast. As soon as Ye Mian walked down the stairs, she smelled a rich aroma, which made her stomach, which was not too hungry, growl twice.
Ye Mian paused and felt amazed again.
From yesterday until now, she has smelled three different kinds of sweet aromas. They are all fragrant and sweet foods, but they taste completely different when they enter her mouth.
That was why, in just over a day, Ye Mian had forgotten his previous life and memories, and rarely thought about them.
All I think about is farming and growing vegetables, and all I see are all kinds of delicious food.
"Today's breakfast is boiled corn. That pressure cooker is amazing. It only takes five minutes to cook it."
Xue Kai's hands were full as he came out of the kitchen carrying two large plates of golden corn cobs. Seeing her eyes fixed on them, he couldn't help but smile, "Eat as much as you want. If not enough, I'll cook more."
"good."
Ye Mian thought he was joking and didn't take it too seriously, but when he started eating, he found that... it seemed not enough.
When Ye Mian stretched out his hand but found nothing, he was stunned. Did she eat the whole plate of corn?
Although the corn tasted better than yesterday's carrots, it was juicy, sweet, and not even hard to eat, and it was soft and tender, but when did she become so good at eating?
Xue Kai was waiting for her reaction: "Should I cook some more?"
Although he wanted to eat, Ye Mian still shook his head: "Put away the vegetables first. After that, I will take Dahei out for a walk."
Without him?
However, thinking that he had no fighting power and would be completely useless when using his skills, Xue Kai consciously accepted this arrangement: "Okay, then I will plant both wheat and tomatoes."
The result of Xue Kai's experiment with vegetables yesterday was that even if they were not stored in the system warehouse, they would not spoil and would even remain fresh as if they were just picked.
So this time, the two people who were picking vegetables prepared enough tools and planned to put the harvested vegetables, corn and potatoes in the basement and warehouse first.
This way, Xue Kai can take it whenever he cooks in the future without having to wait for Ye Mian to take it out from the warehouse.
As for the division of labor, Xue Kai didn't have to think too much and took on the more troublesome task of digging potatoes, which required skilled farm tools and constant bending.
Ye Mian went to pick corn.
It seemed like a lot at first glance in the morning, but when Ye Mian entered the cornfield and started picking corns one by one, he found that the yield was truly astonishing.
You can break off at least ten corn cobs from one corn stalk, and fifty stalks will yield five hundred.
This will require breaking your hand, right?
After peeling a raw corn cob and feeding it to Dahei who came over with his tail wagging at the smell, Ye Mian felt a little hopeless: "Go out and play for a while by yourself. Don't run too far."
"Woof~"
Seeing Dahei obediently running out of the farm, Ye Mian stretched his limbs and started to work on breaking corn.
Fortunately, it is not just boring work, but is accompanied by occasional surprises.

【Get extra "potato seeds" x10! 】
【Get an extra "Corn Pizza Recipe" X1! 】
【Get an extra "Shining Gem" x1! 】
When she saw the recipe, Ye Mian just had a feeling that it was as she expected, but then a text box popped up and she couldn't help but pause.
gem?
Ye Mian couldn't help but open the warehouse and look at the diamond-shaped stone that was emitting a light purple glow.
[Shining gems: They are good for nothing except looking at them]
“…”
It’s not completely useless. Ye Mian clicked on the redemption option below and got thirty points.
The feeling of recovering blood made Ye Mian feel a little relieved of her fatigue. Just when she was about to grit her teeth and continue working for a while, she heard footsteps approaching, and then Xue Kai's voice sounded beside her.
"Let me do it next, you go and take a rest."
When he spoke, Ye Mian suddenly realized that the potato field had been dug up, and the corn she had picked was also quietly carried back into the house.
But looking at Xue Kai again, he still looked relaxed, and in the blink of an eye he had already broken off several corns.
Why are there such big differences between people?
Ye Mian didn't force himself, he put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go get some corn and potatoes to hand in the task."
"Huh? Okay!" As soon as Xue Kai heard the task, he thought of a new reward and immediately worked more happily.
The rewards for the side quests did not disappoint his expectations, and were even a little beyond Ye Mian's expectations.
