Chapter 20: Game-Produced Agricultural Machinery!
Developing the 500-acre sea of rapeseed flowers is a lengthy process. Once it's open to the public, it will be difficult to synchronize the blooming periods of the flowers.
When Liu De returned from work, he reported to Zhang Lin, "Boss, we've already developed over 100 acres of the rapeseed flower field. Besides the gaps we left for planting, we also started the first major pathway."
To open the 500-acre field to the public, visitors need to be able to walk through the flower sea. The gaps left during planting are too narrow to accommodate a large number of visitors, serving only as small paths for diversion.
Therefore, several major pathways are needed to divide the 500 acres into manageable sections. These pathways will eventually connect to the highway leading to the outside world.
However, developing these pathways will take a considerable amount of time. Liu De and his team alone don't have enough manpower, and they need to recruit more employees.
Of course, there's another reason to recruit more employees: reaching the milestone of hiring 10 employees will earn a reward. This reward could increase the wholesale quantity or even provide a special seed like the rapeseed.
Currently, there are six employees. Hiring four more will complete the milestone of 10 employees.
With this, three of the new employees can work with Liu De's team to develop the rapeseed field, while another can assist Guo Zhen in building the irrigation system. Adding this new employee to the existing two, they should have no problem constructing the irrigation system.
Once the irrigation system is built in a few days, they can help Liu De's team with the development of the rapeseed field. This way, the 500-acre sea of rapeseed flowers should be ready in about 10 days.
By then, the first 40 acres of rapeseed flowers will be in bloom, allowing them to start filming promotional videos and preparing for the opening.
When the first wave of visitors arrives, the rest of the rapeseed flowers will also be blooming.
Zhang Lin had a clear plan in mind. However, there was one issue to address: there were only nine dormitory rooms in the prefabricated house, and six were already occupied, leaving only three.
Fortunately, the rooms were large enough to accommodate two people each. Future employees could be paired up, two to a room.
Thinking this through, Zhang Lin instructed Liu De, "Liu De, four more employees will be arriving soon. We don't have enough rooms, so have them share—two to a room!"
"Sure thing, boss!" Liu De nodded immediately.
The employees recruited through the game are not only diligent but also obedient. As soon as Zhang Lin gave the order, Liu De and his team started moving their belongings to pair up in the rooms.
This way, the six employees used only three rooms, leaving six rooms available.
Such employees were truly considerate.
Zhang Lin entered the prefabricated house and looked at the recruitment market in his mind. He clicked to recruit more employees, and the game immediately responded:
"Congratulations, you have spent 30,000 yuan to recruit four ordinary farm workers. The employment period is one month. The ordinary farm workers are being materialized..."
"Payment of 30,000 yuan from account ending in . Remaining balance: 149,494.52 yuan."
Moments later, four orbs of light appeared before him, and four contracts materialized on the table.
"Boss!" The four newly recruited employees greeted him in unison, bowing respectfully.
Zhang Lin quickly checked the game, as the milestone reward for hiring 10 employees had appeared:
"Congratulations, you have completed the milestone of hiring 10 employees. You have received a milestone reward: 2 vouchers for a new cultivator. These can be redeemed in the procurement market!"
Zhang Lin was momentarily taken aback by the reward.
It wasn't an increase in wholesale quantity or a special seed, but vouchers for a new cultivator.
Could the game system know that he intended to buy more cultivators?
The problem with a tillage machine is that you can buy one in the real world. Second-hand ones are dirt cheap, so who would want this as a reward?
Just by adding a 500-pound bulk purchase, the profit from that alone could buy a brand new tillage machine every day.
This reward is a bit disappointing.
However, this also shows that the procurement market isn't limited to just fruits and and and seeds. It can provide other agricultural products as well.
After all, two tillage machines are better than none. Even a small gain is still a gain.
He immediately opened the procurement market and, sure enough, saw the information for the tillage machine.
1. New Model Tillage Machine (Quality 2), temporarily restricted for purchase. Please use the New Model Tillage Machine Exchange Voucher to redeem.
"Wow!" Zhang Lin was surprised when he saw "Quality 2."
Before this, the sweet peaches, Sunlight Roses, and rapeseed were all Quality 1, which already exceeded real-world standards.
If this new model tillage machine is Quality 2, it must be something extraordinary.
With that in mind, Zhang Lin clicked the exchange button twice in quick succession.
[Congratulations! You have used the Mini Tracked Tillage Machine Exchange Voucher to obtain 2 New Model Tillage Machines (Quality 2). They have been stored in your warehouse.]
Zhang Lin stood up upon receiving the notification and looked at the four new employees who were still standing respectfully beside him. He led them out of the prefabricated house and handed them over to Liu De, then headed to the warehouse.
Sure enough, there were two brand-new tillage machines in the warehouse, even with the tanks already full of fuel.
When he touched one of the machines, information immediately appeared:
[Mini Tracked Tillage Machine: Quality 2]
[This is a special tillage machine produced by the game, with performance far exceeding that of real-world tillage machines. Special Attribute: Tilling Efficiency +2!
Restriction: The special attribute only works within the farm. Outside the farm, it is just a high-performance tillage machine.]
The attribute of the tillage machine is exactly where it should be. With a Tilling Efficiency +2, this performance should far surpass real-world machines.
He suddenly felt a bit excited.
Unfortunately, it was already getting dark.
He could only head home and wait until the next day to test it out.
The next morning, Zhang Lin first procured 1000 pounds of sweet peaches, 500 pounds of Sunlight Roses, and 10 pounds of rapeseed. He then immediately headed to the farm.
Liu De and the others were already loading the goods. With four more people, the loading speed was much faster.
By the time he arrived, the 1000 pounds of sweet peaches and 500 pounds of Sunlight Roses were already loaded, and Liu De and his team of three had already set off to deliver the goods.
Seeing this, he procured another 500 pounds of sweet peaches for Zhang Dong, to be delivered when Liu De returned.
Zhang Lin also assigned tasks to the four new employees. He instructed one of them to help build a water reservoir and the other three to operate the New Tillage Machine at the Rapeseed Planting Site.
When one of the Workers Started the Tillage Machine, Zhang Lin Was Surprised.
The speed at which the tillage machine worked was much faster than the Used One, and Not Only Was the Tilling Speed Faster, But It Also Half-Tilled the Land, Bringing Weeds and Weeds to the Surface.
This Allowed for Easier Cleaning and Increased Efficiency.
In a Short Time, the Tillage Machine Had Already Covered a Much Larger Area Than the Used One.
By the end of the day, when Zhang Lin checked the Tilled Area, He Was Shocked.
The total tilled Area Was 160 Acres, Compared to 118 Acres the Day Before.
That Meant the New Machine Tilled 60 More Acres in a Day.
The Used Machine, Even with Liu De and His Team Not Wasting Time on Watering, Could Only Till 15 Acres a Day.
Even with Three More and and New of a New New Machine Machine Machine a New Machine, Would Only Allow for 30 Acres a Day.
But With the New Game-Machine, 60 Acres Were Tilled in a Day.
That Was Double the Efficiency!
This Was the Efficiency of the Game-Made Machinery?
At This Speed, It Would Take Less Than Than a Week Only 500 Acres Area0 Acres in a Week.
Tillage.
Zhang Lin Was Impressed.
