Chapter 12 Sunflowers? Sunshine?
It has been almost seven days, and the compensation for the house has not been paid. Jiang Ning wants to get some more money, but she has little chance of success if she goes deep into the no-man's land alone.
Although she still has some money, it is the money she has saved for food.
The farm is still short of a batch of flower pots and farm tools, so she has to find another way.
Otherwise, she will go to Aunt Li to discuss it in the afternoon?
"Knock knock knock--"
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on her door. Jiang Ning stopped her wandering thoughts and quickly got up and opened the door.
There was a robot standing outside the door. Judging from its appearance, it was Alpha who handled business for her that day. Behind Alpha was a middle-aged man in formal suit and dressed stylishly.
Jiang Ning and the middle-aged man outside the door looked at each other and were both stunned.
Jiang Ning was simply curious about how this person who looked either rich or noble could find her, while the middle-aged man was surprised that the complainant was actually a child.
However, the middle-aged man had seen all kinds of scenes, and he quickly put on a polite attitude and said, "Hello, I am the housekeeper and guardian of the person who damaged your house. My young master is still in a coma in the hospital and it is not convenient for him to come out, so I will apologize to you on your behalf for the time being. We are willing to pay double compensation for the damage to your house."
"Sorry."
Two weeks ago, after the housekeeper received a call from the hospital, he rushed to the M412 planet without stopping. The moment he saw his young master, he knew that his body could not withstand the huge mental power and his brain triggered a self-protection mechanism.
As for what the young master had experienced before he fell into a coma, he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until the municipal center on M412 complained to him before he compensated the victim.
Hearing the double compensation, Jiang Ning appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was already very excited. It turned out that
the person who crashed into her house was a rich young master.
Jiang Ning felt that she had picked up a big bargain. She came to her senses and coughed twice: "It doesn't matter, my house was not hit that badly."
"It's just that your young master was hit quite badly. He has been in a coma for half a month. Next time, remind him to change the aircraft to drive. The quality of this one is not good and it is out of control." Jiang Ning said. Butler
: "..."
It would be fine if the aircraft was really out of control, but he knew this problem of his young master.
Alas -
the housekeeper pursed his lips: "Thank you for your concern. I will pass it on when the young master wakes up."
With Alpha's witness, the housekeeper readily compensated Jiang Ning double the compensation, and then summoned a flying vehicle and left neatly.
It took less than ten minutes.
Jiang Ning, who got an extra thousand star coins for nothing, smiled at Alpha and slowly gave a five-star rating in the service column on his screen.
She finally understood a little bit how those relocated households felt when they became rich overnight.
Great!
She felt that she could have a bunch of such rich young masters.
After Alpha left, the jealous neighbors came out one after another, but they were not familiar with Jiang Ning, so they did not dare to ask her directly how much compensation she had received.
Li Xiang, who lived next door to Jiang Ning, was the closest. Seeing her smiling face like a flower, Li Xiang felt contempt in his heart. She was grinning so hard with just such a small amount
of money. But Li Xiang was really curious about how much money Jiang Ning had received.
Just now, when they were hiding in the house, they saw that the man who was led by the robot from the municipal center was dressed and dressed like a rich man in his words and deeds.
"How much did he compensate you?" Li Xiang asked.
At this time, all the neighbors who were pretending to be busy standing by the door pricked up their ears and waited quietly for Jiang Ning's answer.
How come the rich man didn't hit their house?
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows: "Want to know?"
Li Xiang felt that Jiang Ning's expression was asking for a beating, but he couldn't resist his curiosity, so he nodded: "Well, tell me quickly."
"I won't tell you." Jiang Ning smiled mysteriously, turned around and went back home, and didn't forget to close the door before leaving.
The slums are crowded and complicated, so Jiang Ning was particularly careful.
It is useful to keep wealth hidden in any era, not to mention that she is an orphan now.
Everyone in the slums was jealous of the compensation Jiang Ning received. They stared at the closed door of her house for a long time, and only returned to their own home with regret after confirming that the person really would not come out.
......
Since then, Jiang Ning stayed at home for three months. During this time, she renovated her house and bought some new furniture. Most importantly, her farm has taken shape.
Sure enough, once people have enough food and plenty, they begin to pursue spiritual levels.
She studied agriculture in her previous life, and her major was in the field of plant research. Before she was killed by a cow, she was studying the topic of [the stimulating effect of plant extracts on brain nerve cell activity].
If there is a chance, she wants to continue her research in the interstellar age.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ning watered the sunflowers in the farm as usual.
Under her careful care, the sunflowers have grown well. Although they are a little malnourished, they are about to bloom.
Jiang Ning has a hunch that the sunflowers will bloom completely in these few days.
So starting from the next day, Jiang Ning adjusted her schedule to get up at five o'clock. According to the habit of sunflowers, they bloom between four and six in the morning.
At five o'clock in the morning on the third day, Jiang Ning got up from the bed and looked through the window. The sunflower was indeed in bloom
. Jiang Ning was a little excited and immediately wanted to check whether the sunflower in her consciousness had also bloomed.
As soon as she looked over, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly tightened.
Today's world of consciousness was so dazzling that she couldn't see anything clearly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the white light in the sea of consciousness gradually dissipated.
Jiang Ning was surprised to find that there was a small sun hanging on the phantom of the sunflower in the sea of consciousness.
Wait.
Sunflower? Sunlight?
Something was wrong. Jiang Ning felt something was very wrong.
Jiang Ning withdrew from his sea of consciousness, rubbed his face hard, and then went back in.
The little sun was hanging on the pistil of the sunflower, steady and stable. It didn't fall down, and the light around it showed no signs of extinguishing, as if it had grown out of the sunflower.
Jiang Ning prepared herself mentally for a long time before she controlled her consciousness to explore the little sun.
The moment her consciousness touched the little sun, it directly merged into her body.
Disappeared?
At the same time, Jiang Ning's body felt lighter than ever before, and she was full of energy.
The familiar warm feeling reappeared, still swirling in her body.
Is this... her mental power?
In order to test her guess, Jiang Ning planned to continue the unfinished plant summoning from last time.
Jiang Ning held her breath and concentrated.
Time passed slowly, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
She opened her eyes, and a seedling exactly the same as the previous one appeared in front of her.
Jiang Ning: "?!"
Okay, okay, you're playing with abstraction, huh?
Jiang Ning's mouth twitched twice.
She seemed to have awakened the plant-related abilities of the sunflowers in Dave's garden.
Jiang Ning calmed down her complicated mood and wanted to try summoning it again, but the feeling of emptiness in her body stopped her from thinking about it.
The body that was just full now felt extremely tired, as if the kidneys were overdrawn after overwork.
Jiang Ning: "..."
She stared at the sunflower seedling that she had just summoned in front of her and sighed silently.
Ah~ this fucking supernatural power...
It seems that the spiritual power of a sun is just enough to summon a sunflower. If she wants to summon more plants and complete her farm plan, she needs more sunlight.
I just don't know how long it takes for a sunflower to produce sunlight.
If a sunflower produces one sun, when will she have enough spiritual power to develop her farm!
Jiang Ning put the sunflower seedlings in front of her into the flowerpot she had bought a long time ago, and ordered a piece of planting soil from the star network.
She changed to another store to buy. She heard that the soil between each planet is not the same. The sunflowers grown in the planting soil she bought last time were a little malnourished.
This time, Jiang Ning chose a slightly higher return rate.
This time the logistics was even faster than last time. It was delivered to her door within one hour after she placed the order.
She prepared the planting soil according to the same steps as last time, then transplanted the sunflower back in, took it outside, and placed it next to sunflower No. 1.
Jiang Ning marked this sunflower as [Plant No. 2].
The flowering period of sunflowers is one month. I wonder if this "different species" also has one month.
Aunt Li, who was standing at the door of her house hanging clothes, looked at the busy Jiang Ning and finally couldn't help it. She walked over and put her hand on the door of the farm Jiang Ning had built: "Jiang Ning, although you have the house compensation, you can't be so careless. There is no good future in growing plants on M412. Not only is the land expensive, but the plant market has long been monopolized by the head companies. The plants sold by ordinary people have no quality assurance, and those people will not buy them."
Originally, I thought Jiang Ning just wanted to plant the plant seedling to vent her emotions because she couldn't awaken her superpowers, but I didn't expect her to persist for three months.
Not only did she plant one, she also got a second one.
She had watched Jiang Ning grow up, and she couldn't just watch her make the same mistakes over and over again.
Aunt Li advised earnestly, "Listen to me, superpowers are something that you can't awaken if you haven't awakened. Look, your family hasn't awakened, but they're still doing well. Occasionally, they go hunting two supernatural beasts with the neighbors, which is barely enough to feed the whole family. Besides, your superpower is a plant-based superpower, so it's useless even if it awakens. Don't hold on to it anymore."
"We're going to hunt in the no-man's land again in three days. This time, you're coming with us. Don't rely on your old abilities anymore." Aunt Li said firmly.
After Jiang Ning watered the two sunflower seedlings, she looked up and smiled at Aunt Li, ignoring Aunt Li's question about her stopping planting, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you in three days."
After all, she was still living in the slums, and she couldn't give up the only way to make money now.
Aunt Li was very satisfied with Jiang Ning's well-behaved attitude, nodded, and went back to her home.
After Aunt Li left, Jiang Ning began to work on the installation of the farm's fully automatic irrigation system.
Hunting alien beasts takes at least two or three days, and at most a week.
During this period, her sunflowers will die if no one takes care of them.
In addition to the fully automatic irrigation system, she also has to upgrade the defenses of her small farm.
To prevent people with ulterior motives from stealing her plants.
