Chapter 37, Level 4 Flower: To what extent have your memories been restored? ...
After reading the system's analysis, everyone felt it was worth a try.
Even if the system's estimation fails, we can just have it tie them all up with tree roots.
After making the decision, the system did not unilaterally decide on the type of flower this time. Instead, it selected several flowers that were not difficult to grow and introduced them to Xiao Jiu one by one, allowing Xiao Jiu to choose.
Upon hearing a certain word, Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up: "This one, is it pretty?"
System: [I think it looks pretty good.]
Xiao Jiu nodded emphatically: "Plant this."
Xiao Jiu chose hyacinths, and the system even specially selected seeds with random flower colors for exchange.
His eyes widened when he received the hyacinth seeds.
He held the spherical object high in his hand, tilting his head in confusion: "System, a seed?"
The system explained to him: "[This flower is different from the previous ones; its seeds are like this.]"
Xiao Jiu put her hand down, blinked, and looked at the hyacinth bulb in her hand from side to side.
The bulb was about the size of his fist, dark in color, and its layered structure was visible from the top.
This was the first time Fu Yu had ever seen such a flower. The system warned: "[This thing is poisonous. Although you are not an ordinary person, it's best not to try it.]"
Fuyu nodded, carefully holding the hyacinth bulb a little further away from his mouth.
They had already pre-treated the seeds several times, and now that the system had provided the scan results for Moon Lake, they didn't need to exchange for water anymore; they could just scoop it up and use it directly.
Hyacinth bulbs don't need to be soaked for too long, two or three hours is enough, and when planting them in the soil, there's no need to dig a hole and bury the whole seed like before.
[That's right, just go to this depth.]
Xiao Jiu pointed to the bulb remaining outside the soil with her fingers and tried to say, "Three, one."
The system quickly praised: "[Host, you're amazing! You're right, it's exactly one-third!]"
It floated a line of text in front of the Suanni: 【You've even taught it down to the grade level? Impressive.】
The Suanni raised its chin and slowly wagged the tip of its tail: "Hmph."
Although the system now has a physical form, it is still quite difficult for it to accurately place a ball the size of a child's fist into the ground.
After attempting to crush the bulb twice, the system had to give up.
In the end, a total of 1,500 bulbs were buried in the six fields, which exhausted Fuyu.
The level 4 flower seeds weren't cheap to begin with, and they almost emptied out the remaining 10,000 points.
Seeing Fu Yu's tired appearance, Xiao Jiu originally wanted to exchange for more grain blocks, but after exchanging two blocks for each person, her points were almost gone.
Fuyu quickly said, "I'm fine, I just need some rest."
Food blocks are only effective for pets with a health level of 60% or higher. As for Fuyu, there is no difference between eating it and not eating it; in essence, the pet must recover on its own.
Xiao Jiu could roughly understand the logic behind it now, but he still said, "Ayu eats and is happy, gets points, 10,000 grain coins, Xiao Jiu can exchange."
Ten thousand is the largest number that Xiao □ has reached so far.
Even though he knew that giving the grain to Fuyu wouldn't do any good right now, he still said that because Fuyu was happy when eating the grain, he would exchange 10,000 grains for Fuyu if he had any points.
It's not because Fuyu, being a jackal fish, is of any use, but simply because Fuyu is happy when it does this.
The half-human, half-fish boy's words caught in his throat, and in the end, he could only purse his lips tightly and reply with a soft "Mm."
On the third day at dawn, the system told them they could bury the flowers a little deeper.
Qianchuan roughly knew the growth process of these bulbous flowers. He calculated the growth time of sunflowers, morning glories, and pansies before, and wondered, "Has the growth capacity of farmland weakened?"
System: [No, it's because we're planting level 4 flowers this time, and the farmland is also level 4, so the growth rate will only be slightly faster than when there's no growth buff.]
Qianchuan understood.
The previous morning glory, sunflower, and pansy seeds were all level 1. Level 4 fields were too much for them, which is why they grew wildly.
Qianchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then we won't be so flustered this time."
Growing hyacinths is not an easy task. The process varies depending on whether they are grown hydroponically or in soil.
If you're growing them in soil like Xiao Jiu and the others, you also need to consider the soil mix and constantly monitor the soil moisture during the rooting and sprouting period. Overall, it's more troublesome than growing morning glories or sunflowers.
But now, with the system's growth buff that's practically cheating, Xiao Jiu and the others only need to bury the rooted bulbs deeper into the soil and wait for them to bloom.
Hyacinths typically grow for two to three months, but crops grown in this spatial rift grow much faster. So, twenty days later, the familiar announcement rang out in the space.
The crops are nearing maturity; please proceed to prepare for harvesting.
Suanni immediately noticed the difference from usual: "The update is now announced in advance?"
Previously, it was "the crops are ripe and ready for harvest," but now it has become "they are about to ripen and ready for harvest."
The system replied: "Yes, at least this way we have time to prepare."
As for what to prepare, the best course of action is to immediately control all the Suanni and the others in case the mutated flower has a debuff and the system fails to control the debuff's effective range.
Because the temperature brought by the giant sun phantom is too high, the system usually controls the red mist on the treetops to block out the sky. So at this time, the sunlight shining down from the sky is a special golden-red color.
Under the unusual light, the flowers in the farmland, which were originally only a few dozen centimeters tall, suddenly grew longer and deformed.
As if some living creature were struggling and thrashing inside them, the leaves thickened and grew larger, and the flowers at the top swelled and opened up, revealing the tiny buds that were originally waiting to bloom swelling outwards one after another.
On the flower stem, which is about two meters high, a cluster of tissues resembling bunches of grapes grew at its top.
Because the system had specifically redeemed seeds with mixed colors, the colors of those "grapes" were gradually showing through as time passed.
Soon, the red became as vibrant as freshly spurted arterial blood, the purple and blue glowed with a faint fluorescence, and the yellow and white had a metallic feel, much like gold and silver.
The next second, a crack appeared on each of these spherical protrusions.
With a few snaps, the flower bloomed.
Inside the crevice were darker-colored stamens, which, along with the crevice, looked like tiny eyeballs.
Just then, Xiao Jiu approached, bringing with her a slight breeze. The stamens of the flowers suddenly turned towards Xiao Jiu, and the petals next to them even trembled.
It looked like hundreds or thousands of tiny, densely packed eyes blinking wildly.
Fuyu, who had been eagerly anticipating the blooming of the flowers, almost fainted.
The system was quite excited: [Yay! It's a mutated flower!]
The flower clearly didn't have any debuffs, so the system retracted the tree roots that had extended from Moon Lake and urged everyone to hurry up and harvest it.
Just like the "synthetic watermelon" mode that Suanni complained about before, the number of flowers was reduced from 1,500 to 150 after the mutation.
Although it sounds like there are only 150 plants, digging them up is actually quite a lot of work.
[Ding—Acquired Level 4 crop: Hyacinth (Variant) x1, Quality: Excellent]
[Sale successful, 1500 points added, total points: 1540]
Just like last time, he dug up one plant and sold it one by one. So, in addition to digging them up himself, Xiao Jiu also had the added task of running around repeatedly to sell them.
"Xiao Jiu, this section is finished."
"good."
[Ding—Acquired Level 4 crop: Hyacinth (Variant) x1, Quality: Perfect]
[Sale successful, 5000 points added, total points: 20040]
The system was so excited by the series of announcements that it almost wanted to howl.
This time, Fuyu refused to just stand by and watch. With an extra person helping, all 150 flowers were successfully harvested.
Because these are level 4 flowers, the fields for level 4 flowers won't cause them to wither so quickly. Surprisingly, the lowest quality flowers were all of ordinary grade, and not a single one was damaged.
The system simulated the effect of exploding fireworks using red mist, and then displayed a line of large text.
We've earned 300,000 points!
Although Xiao Jiu didn't understand, she still raised her hand enthusiastically: "Wow!"
Normally, I should charge up and exchange points for food every time I get points, but right now the system still has some left from the last charge, and Suanni just said, "I don't want to eat what I spit out, I'll save it first."
Fu Yu also looked dazed: "I don't need it either..."
Qianchuan and Xiaojiu thought that something might be wrong with Fuyu's health, so they moved closer together, while Xiaojiu was holding Taotie in her arms.
So when Fuyu looked up, he met three pairs of eyes of different colors.
Fu Yu: "Ugh—"
He fell backward and fainted.
Xiao Jiu and Qian Chuan looked at each other in bewilderment, while Suanni laughed wildly, patting the ground beside them.
In the end, only Taotie was frantically munching on the pet food chunks. Qian Chuan didn't mind how the food chunks appeared, but if he were to replenish his upgrade points, his current shrunken appearance would definitely change.
Qian Chuan turned his head and looked at Xiao Jiu, who was holding his hand. This was a gesture that Xiao Jiu would only make after he shrank in size.
Qianchuan tightened his grip slightly.
Let's wait until Xiao Jiu gets tired of playing with it before turning back.
Regardless of what the non-humans were thinking, the system, seeing that 400,000 points were within reach, immediately dragged its host to continue planting flowers.
There's no way around it, only Xiao Jiu doesn't need to rest and never gets tired.
Considering that the price of mutated hyacinths is really good, and they are also very safe with no debuffs, the system strongly recommends that Xiao Jiu continue to plant hyacinths.
Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment: "Ayu..."
System: [How about this? Let's plant less this time, just four plots. That way, harvest time won't be too busy, and Fuyu won't need to come help with the harvest.]
The main reason is that these flowers are indeed very expensive, and the harvest from the four fields will definitely yield 400,000 points.
From the system's perspective, as long as it can buy back its host's hand as soon as possible, everything else can be discussed later.
Xiao Jiu thought the system's suggestion was good, so after soaking the hyacinth bulbs and washing her hands, she went to the store to exchange them for other items.
The moment the Taotie spat out those things, it immediately started wagging its tail.
The system was so shocked that it was speechless for a moment.
What Xiao Jiu traded was a small pile of sweet potatoes.
It has been almost half a year since they last came into contact with sweet potatoes.
The system softened its voice as much as possible and asked, "[Host, to what extent have your memories recovered?]"
