Chapter 291: The Idea was Predicted!
Chapter 291: The Idea was Predicted!
As soon as Zhang Lin heard the sudden prompt, he immediately looked at the game screen.
Receiving this milestone reward indicated that the development of the pasture had made significant progress.
This was undoubtedly good news.
After all, the farm was waiting for the pasture to open, and then expand the tourist capacity, while the county was also awaiting the completion of the pasture's development.
Furthermore, the larger the area of the pasture's development, the more milestone rewards could be obtained, which was definitely a huge advantage.
For example, right now, he had just received a procurement reward for the Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds.
He immediately checked the procurement market, and indeed, there was a new option for Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds.
Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds: These seeds were accidentally developed, and the pumpkins grown from them are enormous, seemingly unsuitable for consumption. The specific use requires further research. Price: 100 yuan/catty.
Obviously, these pumpkins grown from the seeds were not meant for eating.
So, were they for decoration? This reminded him of the pumpkin head decorations used during Halloween.
It involved carving out the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin and placing lights inside, creating a festive decoration for Halloween! But since it's described as gigantic, perhaps even a regular-sized pumpkin would suffice for Halloween?
Regardless, he had to plant these seeds to see what they were all about!
Without hesitation, Zhang Lin purchased 10 catties of Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds for 1000 yuan.
[Congratulations! You have purchased 10 catties of Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds for 1000 yuan. The Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds have materialized. Please check the Game Warehouse for more details!]
Zhang Lin received the game prompt and immediately headed to the Game Warehouse to check the information about the Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds.
It didn't take long before he reached the core area and entered the Color-Coated Steel Warehouse, where he saw a bag of seeds already placed in the warehouse.
He walked up, grabbed the bag of seeds, and read the note:
[Gigantic Pumpkin Seeds: Quality 4!]
[These seeds were accidentally developed, and the pumpkins grown from them are enormous, but unsuitable for consumption. Specific uses require further research: Growth Speed +2, Aesthetics +2, Gigantic +4, Toughness +2, Taste -2!]
Zhang Lin's face showed surprise as he read the note.
It was the first time he had encountered a quality 4 item, and all the attributes were focused on gigantism.
How massive would the pumpkins grown from these seeds be?
With Taste -2, it's no wonder they were deemed unsuitable for consumption. Additionally, there were attributes like Toughness +2 and Growth Speed +2.
There was also an Aesthetics +2 attribute.
This was incredible.
Based solely on the attributes, this was undoubtedly the best item he had ever acquired.
Since it couldn't be eaten, he had to research its specific use.
Moreover, the Aesthetics +2 attribute gave him a hint.
He could think about its decorative potential!
However, even for research purposes, he had to plant these seeds first.
Without hesitation, he called for Liu De and asked him to start planting the seeds.
Soon, Liu De arrived with a hoe and some other tools, "Boss, I've brought the tools. What are you planning to plant?"
Zhang Lin took Liu De directly to the land fertilized with the special fertilizer and instructed him to plant the seeds.
Pumpkin seeds typically take around 50 days to grow, but with the Growth Speed +2 attribute, they should be ready much faster.
Before that, I need to make the emergence of these pumpkin seeds more plausible.
It seems like Ma Jun had planted some seeds in these fields beforehand.
That way, Ma Jun can take the blame again.
As long as there's a reasonable way to discover that the seeds have mutated, that's all that's needed.
It's the usual routine of passing the blame anyway.
This guy is already used to it.
"Boss, is it enough to just plant these things now?" Liu De asked.
Zhang Lin instructed, "Remember to water them tomorrow, and find an opportunity to report to Ma Jun that the seeds have mutated here. Let him come and check it out."
Liu De, an employee who came from the game, naturally nodded at his instructions.
After giving instructions to Liu De, Zhang Lin also returned to the office.
After that, all he needed to do was wait for the seeds to sprout.
Once he sat down in the office, he also searched online to investigate the uses of pumpkins besides being edible. He was surprised to find that pumpkins had many other applications.
For example, making pumpkin vases: Carve out a circle at the top of the pumpkin, clean the inside, insert a bouquet, and add water to keep the flowers fresh.
Creating vegetable pumpkin floral arrangements: Use pumpkins and ornamental cabbages to make bouquets.
There's also the pumpkin flower stand: Stack multiple pumpkins, insert fresh flowers and dried moss, creating a unique floral stand decoration.
And the "Wild Style" pumpkin floral arrangement: Add nutrient mud to the pumpkin vase and insert various flowers.
Another is the "Dark Style" pumpkin floral arrangement: Paint with black paint, add fresh flowers, suitable for Halloween decorations.
Although Halloween is not celebrated in the country, many places still use Halloween decorations to attract attention.
For example, making pumpkin lanterns: Carve out a pattern at the top of the pumpkin, insert a candle or LED light to create a pumpkin lantern.
There's also pumpkin carving: Use carving knives to carve various patterns on pumpkins, such as ghost faces and skulls.
And pumpkin wreaths: Connect multiple pumpkins to form a pumpkin wreath, suitable for outdoor decoration.
With these ideas in mind, pumpkins have many uses besides being edible.
This also means that even if they aren't used for food, pumpkins with a +2 Aesthetics attribute should still have a huge market.
It's just unknown how big the pumpkins with the Gigantic +4 attribute will be when grown, and what decorative purposes they can serve.
Time passed, and the next day, Zhang Lin went to the special fertilized land in the core area to see if the special pumpkin seeds had sprouted.
But when he arrived, he saw that Ma Jun was already there checking the situation.
"Boss," Ma Jun greeted him immediately upon seeing his arrival.
"Hmm!" Zhang Lin went straight to the area where the giant pumpkins were planted and was surprised to find that they had already sprouted. Could it have been that fast? The sprout that emerged was unusually robust and didn't resemble a typical pumpkin seedling at all.
After taking a look, Ma Jun's eyes lit up with an idea. This was the perfect opportunity to shift the blame onto him.
Before Zhang Lin could say anything, Ma Jun spoke up, "Boss, you don't need to keep staring over there. I know those seeds have sprouted, and they're unusually large. It's obvious that there's been a change, and you're probably thinking of blaming me for this, right?"
"..." Zhang Lin was stunned upon hearing this.
Had Ma Jun predicted his thoughts?
