Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Shi Jia directly enveloped the "battlefield" with her mental power to prevent the fighting between the superpowers and the virus from affecting the lettuce's gene chain.

Of course, she didn't just use this method. Shi Jia divided the five lettuce leaves into three groups: two to wrap the "battlefield," two to use her supernatural abilities and mental power to expel the virus, and the last one to let them fight it out.

Shi Jia's superpower is powerful; with just a little bit of his ability, he made five lettuce plants bloom and bear fruit within an hour.

After the lettuce seeds formed, Shi Jia carefully examined their activity. All four lettuce seeds were active, except for one.

Shi Jia picked a handful of seeds and handed them to Wang Baobao.

Still in a daze, Wang Baobao took the seeds and blinked in confusion, "Will these seeds survive?" Oh, right, she finally remembered that the seeds cultivated by superhumans were not viable.

“You can give it a try,” Shi Jia said with a smile.

Wang Baobao suspiciously removed a seed, placed it in the soil, covered it with earth, watered it, and then unleashed his supernatural power—oh, he squeezed out the last bit of his power—"Pfft~"

Looking at the tender green seedlings in the small pit, Wang Baobao couldn't help but rub her eyes.

"Alive?"

“Obviously.” Shi Jia raised an eyebrow.

She gathered the remaining lettuce seeds, stood up, dusted herself off, and said, "Goodbye, Wang Baobao."

As Shi Jia walked out of the vegetable area, she bumped into Zhong Qingyu, who looked dejected and disheveled.

"Brother Zhong? What's wrong with you?"

When Zhong Qingyu saw Shi Jia, he finally perked up a bit. "Something strange happened in the fruit area just now, destroying more than a dozen fruit trees."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. "Brother Zhong, how long do fruit trees in the orchard typically take to grow?"

"The oldest fruit tree we have is five years old."

"Five years!" Shi Jia exclaimed in surprise. It had actually lasted five years without any mutation? "Is it a supernatural plant?"

Zhong Qingyu nodded, "Yes, it was cultivated by the most skilled seventh-level planter at our Yanzhong base."

Shi Jia was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked, "Can this supernatural plant reproduce?"

Zhong Qingyu shook his head. "Have you forgotten? Plants cultivated by superhumans cannot reproduce."

"I know, but isn't that a supernatural plant?" Shi Jia said disappointedly.

“The same goes for plants with superpowers,” Zhong Qingyu said.

Shi Jia felt only disappointment.

Remembering his purpose, Zhong Qingyu hurriedly asked, "Mu Xia, what's your decision? Do you want to become a planter?"

Shi Jia nodded.

"Great! I'll allocate a planting area for you right away," Zhong Qingyu said happily. "There are still ten acres left in the vegetable area. Mu Xia, I'll allocate one acre for you. How about you try it out first?"

“Sure.” Shi Jia thought of the barren soil and then asked, “Will the cultivation base provide fertilizer?”

"Fertilizer? What do you need fertilizer for?" Zhong Qingyu asked, puzzled.

"Fertilize it, I just checked, the soil here is very barren, which is not conducive to crop growth," Shi Jia said.

"Fertilizer! No need to fertilize! Didn't you teach that in your planting class?" Zhong Qingyu slapped his forehead. "Sorry, I just remembered that you just awakened your wood-type ability and haven't taken a planting class yet."

"Mu Xia, let me tell you, the environment is polluted now. Regardless of whether there are any mutations, there will be viruses in the bodies of people and animals. Um... there are even more viruses in excrement... So, you can't use fertilizer, understand?" Zhong Qingyu explained to Shi Jia haltingly.

"So, all the nutrients that plants need can only be provided by the grower's superpower?" After hearing this, Shi Jia had a deeper understanding of the human food crisis.

“That’s right.” Zhong Qingyu nodded. “Don’t be fooled by the poor soil here. In fact, the soil has been painstakingly purified by scientists and purifiers.”

Shi Jia remained silent. Although it was no easy feat for the cultivation base to reach its current scale, it was destined to go nowhere if it was on the wrong path.

"Brother Zhong, I've changed my mind."

"what?"

"I don't plan to work at the breeding base." "What! Why?"

"Xiaxia, why don't you study at the training base first? Once your skills have improved, then you can consider land reclamation?" Yuan Lei rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

In the afternoon, he received a call from the person in charge of the training base. The person first praised his daughter's abilities, and then sarcastically told him to persuade his daughter not to take too big a step.

He was still wondering about it when he returned home and heard that his daughter was going to cultivate wasteland for planting.

"No need." Her skill level was far beyond what she needed to learn those incorrect planting techniques. But she decided against saying it, lest her father have a heart attack.

"Xiaxia, didn't you say last night that you wanted to cultivate supernatural food seeds? Why don't we take it one step at a time, cultivate the seeds first, and then start cultivating the land?" Yuan Lei was a loving father who cherished his daughter. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing and hurting her feelings.

Shi Jia shook his head, thought for a moment, took out a lettuce seed, put it in his palm, and a green light flashed. A bright green lettuce appeared in front of the family.

The vegetables were so green and fresh that they looked incredibly appetizing. Shi Jia couldn't help but lick her lips. She had been in this world for several days and hadn't had a single bite of fresh vegetables yet.

Well, it's not easy to take the vegetables out of the growing space.

So she reached out and, with a "snap, snap," stripped the lettuce down to just the stalks. "Aunt Zhang, one more vegetable."

The lettuce right next to me has a wonderfully fresh aroma. Taking a deep breath, my anxiety dissipates a bit.

"Wow—sister is amazing!" Yuan Xiaodong was the first to react, clapping her hands vigorously.

Zhang Fang also came to her senses, took the lettuce, and quickly went into the kitchen. "Okay, Xiaxia, wait here, Aunt Zhang will make you some blanched lettuce."

Shi Jia smiled and looked at the stunned Yuan Lei, "Dad, watch." The lettuce in her hand grew taller and taller, and it would flower and bear fruit in an instant.

Collect the excess seeds and throw the lettuce stalks into the planting space to compost.

Taking a newly formed lettuce seed, Yuan Lei continued to use his wood-type ability, and once again saw a lettuce grow from seed to seedling to sprouting true leaves.

Shi Jia didn't continue to force the growth. Instead, she took a flowerpot from the planting space and planted the lettuce seedlings. She then placed it in front of Yuan Lei.

At this moment, Zhang Fang came out of the kitchen and said, "Xiaxia, come and eat some lettuce."

Yuan Lei then realized, "Xiaxia, when did you cultivate the superpower seed?"

Shi Jia shook his head, "Not yet. This isn't a superpowered lettuce; it's just ordinary lettuce. But I can make the plant I've induced grow have the ability to reproduce."

"How did you do that?" Yuan Lei was so excited that he forgot to eat the fragrant hot lettuce.

"Chew, chew, gulp. So sweet~" Yuan Xiaodong shook his head happily, it was so delicious! "Sister, you're amazing!"

"Eat as much as you like, and we'll eat vegetables every day from now on." Shi Jia smiled as she put a piece of lettuce on her younger brother's plate, then ate a piece of lettuce herself before answering Yuan Lei.

"Dad, I've discovered why plants powered by superpowers can't reproduce."

"Hmm, and then? How did you do it?"

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow, "You know the reason too?"

Yuan Lei nodded. "Scientists discovered this a few years ago. How did you solve it?"

Shi Jia nodded. It seemed that the scientists in this world weren't too useless. "There are two solutions: one is to isolate the virus from the struggle between superpowers, and the other is to expel the virus."

How to isolate them?

"Just wrap it up with your mental energy so it doesn't affect the genetic chain."

"I see." Yuan suddenly realized. "Wait, Xiaxia, when did you awaken your psychic abilities?"

Shi Jia blinked, suddenly remembering that this world had not yet developed mental power; only those with mental power abilities could use it.

"Uh..." Shi Jia rubbed his temples. Why were things getting more and more complicated?

"It must have been that battle before. Not only did it awaken my wood-type ability, but it also developed my mental power," Shi Jia said. "Dad, I discovered that everyone has mental power..."

"Wait, let me sort this out!" (End of Chapter)
