Luo Xinglan reached out and gently pinched the frog's chubby cheeks, saying cheerfully, "Frog, you're back!"
The frog only glanced at her indifferently.
Luo Xinglan didn't mind the frog's indifference and quickly checked its attributes.
[Friend: Frog]
Grade: Green
Level: 1
Experience: 5/10
Talent: Double Reward
Backpack: Land (Advanced), Precious Round Fruit Tree Sapling, Lighter
Note: The frog will take a trip every now and then. Prepare its favorite food, and it will bring back unexpected rewards!
Luo Xinglan stared intently at the [Precious Round Fruit Tree Sapling]. Having the sapling meant she could plant a Precious Round Fruit Tree.
She immediately took the items out of the frog's backpack.
[Ding! Double rewards triggered! You have obtained 2 pieces of Advanced Land, 2 Rare Round Fruit Tree Saplings, and 2 Lighters!]
It's even double!
[Land - Advanced: Increases crop maturity speed by five times and yield by five times.]
【Rare Round Fruit Tree Sapling: A very rare fruit tree that can be planted and produces rare round fruits when mature.】
Lighter: Used to start a fire.
It is indeed possible to grow the Zhenyuan fruit tree!
Luo Xinglan was overjoyed. She had been keeping an eye on the chat channel and found that most survivors could only obtain stamina potions or medium-level stamina potions. Only a very small number of survivors obtained the Precious Round Fruit. Of course, there were also survivors like her who had not been exposed, but after all, only a minority of survivors obtained the Precious Round Fruit.
The Zhenyuan fruit is still very rare.
If she can cultivate a large quantity of Precious Round Fruit, it means she will have more resources than others! She can even exchange Precious Round Fruit for more useful resources!
Luo Xinglan patted the frog's head: "Little frog, you're such a lucky star! Do you want to eat an earthworm?"
As he spoke, he took an earthworm out of his backpack.
Who knew that the frog only glanced at it listlessly before jumping down to sleep next to the box.
Luo Xinglan was puzzled. Didn't she like eating quite a bit before the trip?
Well, I'll buy some of the frog's favorite foods when I have enough points. After all... those points are something it worked hard to earn!
Luo Xinglan decided to plant the Zhenyuan fruit tree seedlings first.
The premium plots are 1m x 1m, so two plots would take up two square meters of space. Fortunately, her raft was big enough, so she placed the plots next to the box and planted two jujube saplings on the same plot. The saplings were about 20 centimeters long and had small, cute leaves.
[Zhenyuan fruit tree: Seedling stage, 2 hours remaining before the next stage. Watering and fertilizing can shorten the growth cycle.]
Luo Xinglan silently calculated that if it were planted on ordinary soil, the seedling stage alone would take at least ten hours.
Also, watering and fertilizing can shorten the growth cycle. It seems she needs to quickly manufacture a seawater purifier, since farming requires a lot of fresh water.
If you want to fertilize...
Doesn't she happen to have fertilizer?
She took out fertilizer from the box where she kept odds and ends. There were four bags in total. She opened one bag and scattered it down. The fruit tree grew a little taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its branches and leaves slowly spread out.
Fertilizing the Zhenyuan fruit tree shortens the current growth cycle by half an hour, leaving 1.5 hours until the next stage!
It turns out that a small packet of fertilizer can shorten the growth cycle by half an hour.
Luo Xinglan opened another bag and sprinkled the contents down.
Fertilizing the Zhenyuan fruit tree shortens the current growth cycle by half an hour, leaving 1 hour until the next stage!
Sprinkle another bag.
[Fertilizing the Zhenyuan fruit tree shortens the current growth cycle by half an hour; 30 minutes remain until the next stage!]
Luo Xinglan thought for a moment and then scattered the last bag of fertilizer.
[The current growth stage has reached the maximum number of fertilization opportunities!]
Ah, so there's a limit to the number of times you can fertilize.
Luo Xinglan could understand; too much water will overflow, and fertilizer should be used in moderation, as too much can easily burn the roots.
Looking at the sapling that was already half a meter tall, she wondered if there were any restrictions on watering it.
She really wanted to try it out, but all she had at the moment was bottled water. Using bottled water for the experiment seemed a bit extravagant, didn't it?
Sigh, why can't she get the blueprints for the seawater purifier?
Or... should we go and get one?
Just as she was thinking of simply going to collect the blueprints, someone messaged her privately. It was Jiang Zifeng: "Luo Xinglan, I got the [Seawater Purifier Blueprint], I'll give it to you now!"
[Received seawater purifier blueprints from survivor Jiang Zifeng!]
This is like having a pillow delivered to someone when you're feeling sleepy!
Okay, no need to collect it anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Xinglan gave Jiang Zifeng two bottles of energy potion.
Jiang Zifeng: "Luo Xinglan, I didn't want to switch places with you..."
Luo Xinglan: "I know, but you should still keep it. I can't take your supplies for nothing."
After saying that, she opened the crafting menu and selected the [Seawater Purifier Blueprint].
[Seawater Purifier Blueprint: Can be used to craft a seawater purifier, consuming 2/2 plastic and 0/2 refined iron.]
Refined iron? I've never seen that before.
Luo Xinglan had no choice but to privately message Jiang Zifeng: "Jiang Zifeng, do you have any refined iron? I'll trade you some supplies."
Jiang Zifeng: "You're going to make a seawater purifier, right? I only have one left."
After saying that, he directly gifted [Refined Iron x1] to Luo Xinglan.
Luo Xinglan gave him two small bread rolls.
She then asked Jiang Mingze if he had obtained refined iron, and to her surprise, Jiang Mingze actually did!
Luo Xinglan immediately traded two small bread rolls for the remaining piece of refined iron.
Click Create.
The next moment, a seawater purifier appeared in her hand. The purifier had half-meter-long pipes at both ends and a water pump-like purification device in the middle. It was very simple.
