Chapter 8: The Power of Rapeseed Flowers! This is Too Fast!
Chapter 8: The Power of Rapeseed Flowers! This is Too Fast!
Zhang Lin finally understood why the special fast-growing rapeseed flower seeds were ten times more expensive in the game than in reality when he saw their unique attributes.
Just the fact that they grow extremely quickly before flowering was impressive.
In the real world, crops require daily human and material resources to cultivate.
Faster growth means a shorter harvest time, which translates to saving time and effort.
However, Zhang Lin was curious about just how fast these rapeseed flowers would grow.
Looking at the other two attributes, he realized these seeds had the potential to create significant value.
For example, the +1 aesthetic value and +1 camera appeal after flowering.
This immediately made him think of rapeseed flower fields.
Rapeseed flower fields are one of the four most popular flower fields on the internet.
During the rapeseed season, many travel enthusiasts and internet celebrities visit these fields to take photos and shoot videos.
With enough visitors, the ticket sales alone could bring in a substantial profit.
These special fast-growing rapeseed flower seeds have a +1 aesthetic value, making them even more beautiful and appealing than regular rapeseed flowers, perfect for creating a flower field. Additionally, the +1 camera appeal suggests that they look fantastic in photos and videos.
These attributes are a perfect fit for a rapeseed flower field.
Another benefit is the skin moisturizing effect of the rapeseed oil after the flowers produce seeds.
If used to make moisturizing creams or oils, it would be highly sought after by women.
This dual-purpose seed can generate income twice, making it a valuable long-term investment.
While it won't provide immediate returns like the sweet peaches, it is a solid long-term asset with no hidden risks.
This is definitely worth planting.
As Zhang Lin was thinking, Liu De returned with the tracked rotary tiller, and Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou were standing on the tiller's platform, hitching a ride.
It was already noon, time for lunch and a nap!
Zhang Lin instructed Liu De, "Liu De, after lunch and the nap, take Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou to clean up their rooms and get them some daily necessities!"
"Sure, boss!" Liu De responded immediately, then led Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou to the makeshift kitchen to start preparing lunch.
Soon, a simple meal was ready.
"Boss, it's time to eat!" Liu De called out respectfully to Zhang Lin.
This was the first time Zhang Lin had eaten a meal prepared by a game employee.
The simple construction site meal wasn't bad and had a certain charm.
Seeing Liu De and the others devour their food after a hard day's work, they looked just like real farm workers.
If an outsider saw them, they would never guess that these three weren't real people but had been recruited from the game.
After lunch, Liu De took Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou to clean their rooms and provided them with pillows, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other essentials.
Zhang Lin, seeing this, returned to the prefab house and sat down at the computer, pulling up a map of the farm.
With the idea of a rapeseed flower field in mind, he needed to make a plan.
However, setting up a flower field required a new location, preferably not near the prefab house and the warehouse.
After all, this area was where he received and shipped goods from the game.
Moreover, the location needed to be accessible and have a flat, expansive area to create the spectacular effect of a flower field.
After reviewing the 2,000-acre area, Zhang Lin found a 500-acre plot on the eastern side that was perfect. It was flat, expansive, close to the road, and a good distance from the prefab house and warehouse.
Zhang Lin marked this area on the map and decided to start the flower field project there.
After finalizing the plan, he also opened the game in his mind and purchased the remaining 9 pounds of special fast-growing rapeseed flower seeds.
He then heard movement outside, indicating that Liu De and the others had finished their nap.
Checking the time, he noted that the game-recruited employees were indeed self-disciplined.
Zhang Lin walked to the door and called out, "Liu De, come inside, I have something to tell you!"
Liu De and the others immediately entered the prefab house.
Liu De immediately asked respectfully, "Boss, what do you need?"
"Come over to the computer!" Zhang Lin called the three of them over, opened the map of the 2,000-acre farm, and pointed to a marked area: "Starting now, you’ll develop this area. I want to plant rapeseed flowers here!"
"Understood, Boss!" Liu De nodded and left the prefabricated house, driving the plowing machine toward the designated area. Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou also picked up their tools and climbed onto the platform of the plowing machine, hitching a ride.
Zhang Lin walked to the warehouse, took out the 10 pounds of rapeseed, and placed them on the step-up cart. He then headed to the designated area.
Fortunately, the land his father had rented was relatively flat, with no significant slopes or uneven terrain, making it easier to navigate with the vehicle. Otherwise, it would have been much more troublesome.
Zhang Lin quickly caught up with Liu De and the others.
Once they arrived at the designated area, Liu De started plowing the land.
Zhang Lin handed the rapeseed to Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou, who began planting in coordination.
As for himself, he took on the role of supervisor, content to provide company without getting his hands dirty.
By the end of the afternoon, the farm's developed land area had gradually increased. By the time it grew dark, the developed land area had expanded from 10 acres to 20 acres.
During the afternoon, Liu De and the others had planted 10 acres of rapeseed, using 5 pounds of the 10 pounds of seeds they had bought. This meant that one pound of seeds could plant 2 acres of land.
Zhang Lin returned home late that night.
He took a refreshing shower, changed into clean clothes, and went back to his room. He noticed a message from a high school classmate named Huang Bin on WeChat: "Zhang Lin, are you there? Have you been free lately? Some of our classmates have been in touch and are planning a class reunion!"
"No time!" Zhang Lin replied directly.
What a joke, a class reunion. In the current atmosphere, even dogs wouldn’t attend!
In the past, class reunions were more about simple, friendly relationships, making them a good way to socialize.
Now, relationships among their generation had become bitter and competitive, with everyone either trying to outdo each other or feeling resentful.
It was all about mutual comparison.
Seeing that the other person was sending more messages to persuade him, Zhang Lin ignored them and didn’t respond.
Now that he had the game system, he only wanted to make money and build his business. He had no time to play the game of "hating you for having what I don’t, mocking you for not having what I do, resenting you for being poor, and fearing you for being rich."
...
The next morning, Zhang Lin was the first to check the game interface in his mind.
1,000 pounds of sweet peaches (Quality 1) had refreshed.
10 pounds of special fast-growing rapeseed had also refreshed.
He bought both items, spending 4,000 yuan on the sweet peaches and 2,500 yuan on the rapeseed, totaling 6,500 yuan.
With the prompts from the game, he opened the game warehouse to check:
1. Special fast-growing rapeseed (Quality 1): 10 pounds
2. Sweet peaches (Quality 1): 1,000 pounds
Zhang Lin left his room, and Lin Yan called out to him: "Xiao Lin, come and eat these two home-cooked eggs to boost your energy!"
"Thanks, Mom!" Zhang Lin didn’t really like boiled eggs, but he quickly finished them.
He knew his mother was in poor health and felt guilty for not being able to help her, even burdening her with debt.
Cooking for him and making home-cooked eggs in the morning was the only way she felt she could help.
He couldn’t let his mother feel that even this was insignificant.
Whether he liked it or not didn’t matter; what mattered was making his mother happy, which would help her recover faster.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Zhang Lin headed to the farm. Upon arrival, he saw that Liu De and the others had already loaded the 500 pounds of sweet peaches onto the vehicle.
"Boss, I’ll go deliver them!" Liu De called out and left with the peaches.
Zhang Lin rode his step-up cart to the 10 acres of rapeseed he had planted the previous day.
When he arrived, he was surprised by what he saw.
"Wow, that’s fast!"
