Chapter 9: Upgrade! New Worker Types!
Chapter 9: Upgrade! New Worker Types!
Zhang Lin stood before his ten acres of land, amazed to see sprouts of green emerging and even growing a bit after just one night.
Rapeseed flowers usually take 3 to 7 days to sprout after planting. In Youcheng, it typically takes over two months for rapeseed flowers to bloom. At the current growth rate, they might bloom in just half a month.
This was the effect of the +1 growth speed attribute.
It was truly astonishing.
If this growth rate became known outside, it might attract unwanted attention.
Fortunately, the special fast-growing rapeseed had a limitation: it only worked when planted within the farm's boundaries. Outside, it would grow normally to natural.
.
The game system’s anti-theft restrictions were been quite thorough.
Soon, Zhang Lin received Lin Tuo’s wholesale payment for the day.
24,000 yuan was credited to his account, and his in-game balance increased to 61,431.52 yuan!
After Liu De delivered the goods, he, along with Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou, returned to the area designated for the rapeseed flower sea to continue planting the seeds.
They didn’t find it strange that the seeds planted yesterday had already sprouted a bit.
The employees recruited through the game were directly influenced by the game system!
After a day, Liu De and the others had developed an additional 15 acres of land.
In Zhang Lin’s in-game farm, the total developed area reached 35 acres.
He checked the upgrade requirements:
1. 3 workers (3/3)
2. Earn 100,000 yuan in profit (61,431/100,000)
3. Develop 50 acres of agricultural land (35/50)
With this pace, the 50-acre development requirement would soon be met. only the profit requirement was yet left.
.
He thought this condition was a bit unfair. Logically, money earned should count as profit, but the game seemed to consider all expenses as costs, even deducting them from his profit.
However, there was nothing he could do about the game’s setup.
On the bright side, with 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches being sold daily, reaching the 100,000 yuan profit requirement wouldn’t take long.
...
Time passed, and before he knew it, two days had gone by.
Early in the morning, Zhang Lin set an alarm to check the upgrade requirements in his in-game screen:
1. 3 workers (3/3)
2. Earn 100,000 yuan in profit (88,431/100,000)
3. Develop 50 acres of agricultural land (75/50)
In three days, Liu De and the others had developed an additional 40 acres, planting rapeseed flowers.
On average, they were no longer able to develop 15 acres a day.
It wasn’t that Liu De and the others were slacking off; the more rapeseed flowers they planted, the more time they needed to spend watering them, reducing the area they could develop each day.
This trend became more pronounced as the developed area increased. To maintain the growth rate, an automatic irrigation system was essential.
However, this posed a problem. The seeds’ rapid growth meant that setting up an irrigation system would take more than a day, potentially revealing the anomaly.
During these three days, Zhang Lin had wholesale 2,000 pounds of sweet peaches and purchased 200 pounds of special fast-growing rapeseed, spending a total of 13,000 yuan. Selling 2,000 pounds of sweet peaches earned him 48,000 yuan.
Thus, his profit now stood at 88,431 yuan, only 20 yuan away from his balance.
Initially, he had enough money to recruit one employee, wholesale 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches, and buy a megaphone, printer, electronic scale, and plastic bags, leaving him with 20 yuan.
However, if he spent 6,500 yuan today to buy 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches and 10 pounds of rapeseed, and then wholesale the sweet peaches, he could earn an,,000 yuan profit, enough to meet the upgrade requirement.
Thinking this over, Zhang Lin immediately opened the game market and purchased the 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches and 10 pounds of rapeseed that had refreshed today.
After completing the transactions, he got up, washed up, and left his room.
Lin Yan, as always, prepared breakfast for her son and called Zhang Lin to eat. With genuine concern, she asked, "Xiao Lin, I see you’ve been leaving early and coming back late these days. How's your sweet peach business going?"
Her son had taken on over a million yuan in debt due to family issues, and while she couldn’t help much, her worry made her ask.
"Mom, don’t worry. The business is doing great, and we’ll pay off the family debt soon!" Zhang Lin quickly shared some good news.
And he wasn’t lying.
With 1,000 pounds of sweet peaches bringing in 20,000 yuan daily, he was set to level up today, which might increase his wholesale quantity.
Moreover, he had plans for a sea of rapeseed flowers. Once the initial 500 acres were planted, some of the flowers would start blooming, creating quite a stir.
So, paying off over a million yuan in debt was’t a problem.
’t be a problem.
Seeing her son’s confidence, Lin Yan felt much more at ease. She then asked the question that was most on her mind, "Xiao Lin, didn’t you say you had a girlfriend?"
Hearing this question again, Zhang Lin hurriedly interjected, "Mom, she’s on a business trip for training. She won’t have time for the next few days!"
He didn’t give her a chance to ask more and quickly finished his breakfast, rushing out the door.
After all, he had nowhere to bring a girlfriend home from.
At the farm, Liu De had already left in the three-wheeled truck to deliver goods.
Soon, Liu De returned and started on his second delivery.
After completing both deliveries, Lin Tuo transferred 24,000 yuan for the day’s earnings.
"Your account … income amount 24,000.00 yuan, balance 105,957.52 yuan."
The profit for the next level had also surpassed 100,000 yuan, reaching 105,931 yuan.
At that moment, the game system’s prompt sounded again:
"Congratulations, you have met the upgrade conditions. Your game level is now LV2!"
"Congratulations, your level has increased. You can now recruit one additional type of employee."
"Congratulations, your level has increased. A random agricultural product, ‘Sunshine Rose,’ has been added to your wholesale list. The daily wholesale quantity is 500 pounds, and the product has been refreshed!"
Zhang Lin immediately checked his game attributes in the mental interface:
Player Name: Zhang Lin
Level: 2
Upgrade Requirements: 1. 6 employees (3/6)! 2. Earn 500,000 yuan in profit (105,931/500,000)! 3. Develop 200 acres of agricultural land (75/200)
Bank Card: 62122614
Balance: 105,957.52 yuan
Agricultural Land: 2,000 acres!
Special Structures: Prefabricated House, Warehouse!
Milestone Progress: 0.1%
After the upgrade, the requirements had indeed changed.
The number of employees needed was now 6, the profit target had increased to 500,000 yuan, and the land development area had risen to 200 acres.
Fortunately, the previous numbers hadn’t been reset but added to the existing totals.
However, what Zhang Lin was most interested in were the three upgrade prompts.
First, a new type of employee was available for recruitment.
Previously, Liu De and the others were just ordinary farm workers, but Zhang Lin curiously opened the list of recruitable employees and found a change:
1. Ordinary Farm Worker (7,500 yuan/month)
2. Agricultural Water and Hydropower Specialist (8,500 yuan/month)
Besides the ordinary farm workers, a new type of employee had been added: an agricultural water and hydropower specialist.
Checking the details, he found that ordinary farm workers were skilled in operating various agricultural machinery.
But when he saw the description for the agricultural water and hydropower specialist, his eyes lit up.
This was a specialized employee for agricultural water and hydropower projects, a technical position.
Agricultural water and hydropower systems were different from regular ones, so this specialized role was created.
He had been struggling with the irrigation system for the expanded rapeseed flower planting area, but now this problem was solved.
The agricultural water and hydropower specialist was exactly what he needed!
