Chapter 7: The Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed Flower!
Chapter 7: The Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed Flower!
In the city of You, there was a dedicated agricultural machinery market managed by the Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
What was called a market was essentially a small building with a large courtyard in front, where various agricultural tools and machinery were displayed.
This agricultural machinery market primarily served farmers, offering rentals of equipment like plows and harvesters. Naturally, it also helped farmers sell second-hand machinery.
Zhang Lin had planned to rent a plow, as it would speed up the process significantly, and the daily rental fee was only 200 yuan.
However, upon arriving at the market, he changed his mind when he saw a used small tracked rotary plow for sale.
A brand new one would cost 30,000 yuan, but this one, which was at least 70% new, was priced at just 12,000 yuan.
Given that the game’s level was tied to the amount of land developed and that he would need to develop more land on his farm in the future, buying a machine the, he00 yuan yuan0,000 to just buy it outright.
The key advantage of this small tracked rotary plow was that it didn’t require a license, was easy to operate, and was sufficient for his current farm needs.
Zhang Lin went inside and found the manager to express his intention to buy the plow.
"Little brother, you want to buy this plow?" The manager greeted him warmly and began to introduce the plow: "This plow comes with a three-month warranty and free delivery. Let me tell you about its performance..."
Zhang Lin had already decided to buy it. After confirming there were no issues, he immediately went through the purchase process.
"Card ending in 622, payment of 12,000 yuan, remaining balance 41,124.52 yuan."
With the payment complete, the plow was now his, and he even received a free tank of gasoline.
Since the purchase included delivery, the manager called for a flatbed truck to transport the plow to Zhang Lin’s farm.
When they arrived at the farm, Liu De had already returned from delivering the sweet peaches and came over to help unload the plow.
"Liu De, do you know how to use this?" Zhang Lin asked, remembering that the game employees were noted for their proficiency with various agricultural machinery.
"Boss, I do," Liu De nodded immediately.
"Then you can start plowing the land later." Zhang Lin couldn’t help but think that the game-recruited employees were indeed stronger than real-world farmers.
In reality, many farmers were only skilled with basic tools like shovels and hoes, let alone advanced machinery.
"Alright, boss!" Liu De responded promptly. After the flatbed truck driver left, he drove the plow to the field and began working.
The plow’s speed was impressive, and it didn’t take long to till a small section of the land.
However, the land wasn’t fully prepared yet. It still needed to be turned over to remove weeds and then planted with seeds.
This process would be faster with additional help.
Zhang Lin had no intention of doing this himself. He looked at the mental screen in his mind and clicked the employee recruitment button, hiring two more farmhands at once.
Since the next level required three employees, he might as well hire them now and put them to work.
Congratulations, you have spent 15,000 yuan to recruit two ordinary farmhands. The employment term is one month, and the ordinary farmhands are materializing...
The balance in the top-left corner of his mental screen went from 41,124.52 to 26,124.52 yuan.
His balance was now lower than his initial funds.
However, he didn’t see the usual materialization glow.
But the game had already given the prompt!
He suddenly realized something and hurried back to the prefabricated house. Sure enough, there were two more farmhands inside.
He understood now; there were limits to this process.
Currently, both the prefabricated house and the warehouse were game structures. Game purchases had to be made through the warehouse, and recruiting game employees had to be done through the prefabricated house.
"Boss!" The two farmhands greeted him in unison.
On the desk, two contracts materialized just like before.
Zhang Lin picked up the contracts. The two farmhands were named Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou, and they were from the same village, with the same address in reality.
The game system's incredible features were once again on full display.
From Liu De's previous experience, the addresses on these two workers' IDs were undoubtedly from a village that had already been abandoned or suffered some disaster. Even the police wouldn't be able to trace their identities.
Zhang Lin was more than happy to have the system handle such matters.
Putting down the contract, he gave instructions to the two farmhands, "Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou, you two will work with Liu De to develop the land. Cooperate to till the soil and plant the seeds."
"Sure thing, boss!"
The two men responded and found some hoes in the prefabricated house, along with the cabbage and hollow stem vegetable seeds his father had bought.
Exiting the prefabricated house, they got to work in the fields.
Zhang Lin, now free, took a bottle of water and inspected the three farm hands at work.
He noticed that the farm hands recruited through the game had incredible stamina, working as hard as oxen or horses, without a hint of laziness.
In his idleness, watching the farm hands work like oxen, he suddenly felt like a landlord.
As Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou started working, he glanced at the mental interface and saw the area of developed land increasing.
After some time, the area increased by one acre, bringing the total to six acres.
At this rate, the three farm hands could develop 15 acres of land in a day without any problem.
Zhang Lin watched for a while longer before returning to the prefabricated house. He sat down in front of the computer and opened "Agricultural Mega Player" to study it further. Since he had this cheat, he needed to understand the game better.
This game was truly remarkable, even allowing the construction of agricultural research institutes to study various crops.
As noon approached, Zhang Lin received another game notification:
"Congratulations, you have completed the milestone of developing 10 acres of land. As a reward, a special purchase item has been added to the market: Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed, with a daily purchase limit of 10 pounds!"
Zhang Lin was taken aback by the notification.
He had expected the completion of the 10-acre milestone to add a new wholesale product or increase the quantity of sweet peaches, but instead, he received a reward of rapeseed.
He couldn't help but complain.
But since the reward was already given, he decided to see what it was about.
The reward did not specify a daily refresh, so he checked the mental interface, opened the market, and indeed found a new purchase item: Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed.
However, the price made him speechless.
Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed (Quality 1), 10 pounds available for purchase (250 yuan per pound!)
He remembered that regular rapeseed only cost 25 yuan per pound.
Now, the game was selling it for 250 yuan per pound?
He knew that the wholesale price for sweet peaches was lower than in reality.
So why was this newly rewarded rapeseed ten times more expensive in the game than in reality?
He decided to spend 250 yuan to purchase one pound and see what happened.
"Congratulations, you have spent 250 yuan to purchase 1 pound of Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed (Quality 1). It has been added to your warehouse. You can check it by clicking on the warehouse!"
Zhang Lin opened the warehouse and indeed found one pound of Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed listed.
Current storage items:
1. Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed (Quality 1): 1 pound
He left the prefabricated house and walked to the warehouse, where he saw the one-pound bag of seeds.
When he picked up the bag and read the note, his face showed surprise.
"Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed: Quality 1"
"Note: This is a special rapeseed produced by the game. Before flowering, it grows very quickly, and after flowering, it has excellent ornamental value and a great visual effect. The rapeseed produced also has special effects!
Attributes: Before flowering, growth speed +1, ornamental value +1, visual effect +1, rapeseed oil skin nourishment effect +1.
Restriction: Only effective when planted on land belonging to the farm!"
