Chapter 7 Getting Started
Clang~ Clang~
"Mom, I'm home!"
Sun Ran pushed open the front door and called out.
"Why did you bring back so much stuff all at once? What are you planning to do with it?"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Yue'e peeked out from the kitchen doorway and was somewhat surprised.
There was a small cart piled high with cardboard boxes, which were haphazardly stuffed with a bunch of plastic flower pots, glass jars and other things.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to try growing something."
Sun Ran answered with a smile as she unloaded things from the stroller.
He quickly unloaded the things, then turned around, pushed the cart, and ran out the door again.
This car was borrowed from his grandfather's supermarket, so he needs to return it as soon as possible.
Zhou Yue'e, watching his hurried figure from behind, was also somewhat puzzled.
When did this brat become interested in this kind of thing?
When Sun Ran returned home after delivering the stroller, Zhou Yue'e had already prepared the meal.
The family sat together happily and had dinner.
The two little ones were quite tired today, and their appetites were exceptionally good.
Even Sun An'an, who is usually very talkative, was unusually quiet today, focusing instead on eating heartily with her chopsticks.
It's like a little pig rooting for food.
After finishing their meal, giving the two little ones a bath, putting them to bed, and then washing up herself, the mother and children went back to their respective rooms.
Zhou Yue'e went to bed early to rest, after all, she is getting old now, and pulling and planting rice seedlings all day was not easy.
Only the light in Sun Ran's room remained on.
"This bottle has a 1:10 ratio, this bottle has a 1:100 ratio..."
Inside the room, Sun Ran was labeling glass jars one by one.
All the things we just brought back from Grandpa's supermarket are piled up in his room.
He is now preparing to conduct the next test on the spiritual spring.
He just looked up some information online, and it turns out that ginseng can be grown here.
However, it can only be grown at altitudes above 1200 meters; otherwise, the temperature is too high and the planting environment is unsuitable.
In addition, the technical requirements are high, and the soil must be transformed into humus soil similar to black soil.
Not only are they troublesome to plant, but rain and weather conditions also have a significant impact.
This means that large-scale planting and cultivation is definitely out of the question.
So he planned to buy a few seeds online to see if he could use the spiritual spring water to ripen them.
However, he would have to wait until he had accumulated more of the daily reward spirit springs, so he wasn't in a hurry to place an order online.
Now he plans to dilute the spiritual spring water first, and then plant some common vegetables and fruits to test the effect.
Before he could determine the exact situation, he didn't dare to water his own land directly, otherwise it would be troublesome if similar problems occurred again.
The first test subject he chose was scallions, which take only one to two weeks from planting the seed to sprouting and growing leaves.
It's fast-acting, so it's suitable for preliminary testing.
He also plans to plant some fast-growing vegetables, such as cilantro and bok choy, to see how it goes.
He also grows vegetables with longer maturation cycles, such as carrots and tomatoes, to make comparisons.
First, add water in different proportions to dilute the spiritual spring into nutrient solutions of different concentrations.
Then divide the seeds into several groups and water them separately to conduct the experiment.
The first group was left untreated and fertilized and watered as usual.
The second group was watered with nutrient solutions of different proportions.
The third group was cultivated using the spring water as a nutrient solution.
After these plants, irrigated with the spiritual spring water, flower and bear fruit, we will continue to experiment with what happens when we plant them with new seeds.
But those are things for another time.
Of course, because these fast-growing vegetables have a short growth cycle, the results cannot be generalized, but there should be no major problems in the direction of growth.
He will also conduct further experiments on animals.
This morning, the rooster seemed somewhat unwell after drinking the spiritual spring water.
So he continued to feed the rooster, and he also planned to find a few hens of similar size to feed them water for the experiment.
As for what people drink...
He planned to observe the chickens drinking water first, and only after confirming that there were no problems would he use himself as a test subject.
Yeah, don't ask, the answer is I'm afraid of dying...
Measuring cup, adding water, stirring...
Label each glass jar with the dilution ratio.
Loosen the soil, fertilize, plant the seeds, water...
Then, label each flowerpot with the control group's name printed on it...
After working back and forth for almost two hours, Sun Ran looked at the row of flowerpots on the windowsill and stretched happily.
Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the right opportunity.
The rest depends on how useful this spiritual spring water really is.
If everything goes well, perhaps our family will never have to worry about money again...
He lowered his hand, turned his gaze, and rows of text appeared before him.
Sun Ran - Miscellaneous Service
Belongs to: Qingshan Sect
Sect contribution points: 200/1000
Magical items/elixirs/cultivation techniques: None available.
Current buildings of the sect:
Treasure Pavilion: Upgrade required: 1000 contribution points
Low-grade spiritual vein (water): Contribution points required for upgrade: 5000
……
This is the personal panel in the cheat program.
There are no personal attributes or anything, just a contribution score, which looks a bit like experience points.
Currently, it seems that it can upgrade itself and the two buildings that have already been discovered.
The problem is that there are no hints or explanations in this cheat code.
I don't know what rewards I'll get after upgrading, nor do I know how the quest is triggered.
Even though he tried asking, there was no response.
It seems this thing isn't very intelligent; it looks like it can only figure things out little by little on its own.
pat~
After turning off the lights, Sun Ran lay down on the bed, pulled up the covers, and fell into a good sleep.
Nothing more was said that night...
Ooh ooh ooh~
Amidst the loud crowing of roosters, Sun Ran groggily opened his eyes.
I put on my clothes, went downstairs, and grabbed my toothbrush and mug...
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw a rooster strutting back and forth in the yard with its head held high.
Its bright red comb stands tall, its feathers are multicolored, and its sharp beak and claws gleam coldly...
Well, if the chicken's rear end wasn't completely bare, it would be at least twenty points more attractive...
Sun Ran glanced at the rooster, then took the toothbrush and mug and walked towards the pool.
He hadn't walked far when he saw drops of water slowly appearing in the cup in his hand.
At first, water droplets clung to the side of the glass, then dripped down to the bottom, forming a shallow puddle, and then gradually more and more water appeared...
When he finally stood by the well, the cup in his hand was now filled to the brim with the same amount of spiritual spring water as yesterday.
With a hint of green, it gently ripples in the cup...
giggle~
Sun Ran was staring blankly at this amazing scene when he suddenly heard a rooster crowing at his feet.
Looking down again, I saw that the rooster had somehow run over from the chicken coop.
I was standing right at his feet, looking up at him as he excitedly flapped his wings.
"So, they've taken a liking to the spiritual spring water?"
Sun Ran looked at the rooster and laughed, "How come your nose is even more sensitive than a dog's?"
Ooh ooh ooh~
The rooster crowed again and even flapped its wings, trying to fly into his hand. Sun Ran was so frightened that he quickly twisted his waist to protect the cup in his hand.
This is the original liquid!
Yesterday, after I diluted it, you almost got into trouble after drinking it. Are you trying to die?
He quickly grabbed the toothbrush cup and ran upstairs.
There was an experiment I didn't have time to do last night, which was to see if the spiritual spring water would lose any spiritual energy when stored under different conditions.
Now that the water has arrived, it will come in handy.
After Sun Ran finished fiddling with all the bottles and jars upstairs, he took the toothbrush and mug downstairs...
Then they saw the big rooster in the yard start chasing Sun An'an again.
Upon closer inspection...
The little girl was holding a shuttlecock in her hand.
Those few dark blue tail feathers shimmered with iridescent light under the morning sun.
