Chapter 943 Growing Potatoes

Wang Junjun noticed that the area around the glass greenhouse was unusually quiet today. There was no wind, and he couldn't hear any insects or birds chirping. This was very strange!
When he arrived yesterday morning, he had killed several low-level mutated beasts.

He looked around warily. In the morning light, the surrounding weeds and trees stretched out their bodies, photosynthesizing, while tiny butterflies and insects frolicked around the blooming flowers. Everything seemed so natural.

He began to wonder if he was being too suspicious.
He scratched his head, looked at the still-locked gate behind him, thought for a moment, and walked towards the land he had turned over yesterday. In just one night, quite a few weeds had grown on the land, none of them very tall, only about ten centimeters. But at the rate at which these weeds were growing, he was afraid he would be busy for a while.

"I'll have to ask the boss if he can get some herbicides later." Although Wang Junjun had never farmed before the apocalypse, he was from a major agricultural country and had heard about farming to some extent.

Wang Junjun surveyed the land, and thinking that the boss hadn't arrived yet, he squatted down and started pulling weeds.

Not long after, he heard the sound of a car horn.

He subconsciously looked up and saw his boss's black pickup truck appear. At the same time, ice spikes, wind blades, fireballs, earth spikes, and golden blades appeared out of thin air and rained down on the pickup truck.

Wang Junjun's eyes widened. "Watch out—"

Suddenly, time seemed to stand still. Ice spikes, wind blades, fireballs, earth spikes, and golden blades froze in mid-air.

"So I'm that powerful in Fang Yanlei's eyes? Let me see... one, two, three... tsk tsk, a full seven fifth-tier ability users. No, there's also a sixth-tier stealth ability user!"

Shi Jia couldn't help but admire Fang Yanlei's mindset; he went all out against his enemies and acted swiftly!
Unfortunately, her opponent was her.

"Bang—" In the next instant, those ice spikes and fireballs seemed to have hit a transparent spring, and they all returned the way they came!

"what--"

"Bang, bang—"

Suddenly, chaos erupted in the quiet grass as four or five superhumans flew out in an instant.

Shi Jia got out of the car and looked at the several superhumans with pity, while the latter looked at her fearfully, holding up their weapons to guard against her attack.

That move just now really frightened them. Having lived in the apocalypse for so long, they had never seen such a powerful ability.

Why didn't Fang Yanlei mention that Yuan Muxia was so powerful?

Isn't he sending them to their deaths?
Shi Jia glanced at the bushes beside him and, seeing that the people inside showed no intention of coming out, said indifferently, "I'm too lazy to kill you. Go back and tell Fang Yanlei that I've made a note of these two assassination attempts today. If they come to harass us again, then they should be prepared to die."

After Shi Jia finished speaking, she prepared to open the door.

"Bang—" The smell of gunpowder wafted over, and Shi Jia slightly turned his body as a bullet grazed past him, heading towards the glass canopy in front of him.

Her face turned cold. "Stop!"

The bullet, about to collide with the glass, froze in mid-air!
A white light flashed in her hand, and the bullet turned into powder that slowly drifted to the ground. It was really slow; a minute later, the powder was still floating in the air.

"Since you feel that living is not good, then I will let you say goodbye to the world."

"No, it wasn't us!" The five superhumans, terrified, hurriedly waved their hands.

Shi Jia ignored them, and with a gentle lift of her hand, thick vines burst forth from the ground, binding out a superhuman who was hiding in the bushes.

He was also holding a black gun in his hand.

"You guys are quite capable to still be able to get your hands on firearms." Nearly twenty years have passed since the apocalypse, and the firearms produced before the apocalypse have long been used up. Firearms produced by the government after the apocalypse are not sold to the public.

A vine wrapped around the gun and delivered it to Shi Jia, while at the same time another vine pierced through the bound man.

"what--"

"what--"

Screams rang out one after another, almost making her think the vines had gone out of control.

She glared at the several superhumans who were making strange noises, and they immediately covered their mouths.

"Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes!" The five superhumans scrambled away, the bushes swaying before slowly quieting down. In no time, only Shi Jia, Wang Junjun, and the human corpse remained within a mile radius. Shi Jia frowned, and the vines danced again, carrying the human corpse deep into the dense forest.

"Gulp~" Wang Junjun swallowed hard, finally able to breathe smoothly.

"Good morning, boss." At this moment, Wang Junjun deeply regretted his irrational behavior a few days ago. Fortunately, he hadn't gone too far; if he had really angered his boss, the consequences... Wang Junjun shuddered.

can not imagine!

"Okay, good morning!" Shi Jia nodded. "Shall weed?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, I saw that weeds were growing in the field, so..." Wang Junjun said.

"The grass is growing fast now, but it's okay. Just spray some herbicide in a bit. Then wait for the sun to come out and dry for an hour before you start planting potatoes." Shi Jia took out a bottle of pesticide and a bucket of water from her spatial storage.

"Great, it's wonderful to have herbicide," Wang Junjun said happily. It saves a lot of effort by not having to pull weeds.

Shi Jia opened the door of the glass greenhouse. Thanks to the pesticide he sprayed yesterday, no grass grew on the soil inside.

Without further ado, she took out potatoes from her spatial storage and started planting them. There were two kinds of potatoes: one kind was grown in her spatial storage and came from another world, and the other kind was seeds she obtained from a cultivation base.

The seeds provided by the base are definitely viable, but there are too few. She needs to cultivate them at least three times to produce enough seeds to plant eight acres of land.

As for not using all the potato seeds from the space, it was because she was worried that foreign species would not adapt to growing in this world.

Just as she had predicted, the seeds from other worlds struggled to even sprout.

If Shi Jia hadn't forcibly used his wood-type ability to accelerate their growth, they probably would have rotted in the ground without ever sprouting! Even after sprouting, their growth was extremely slow.

They seemed isolated, unable to absorb nutrients from the soil, including water. Their growth was sustained only by the nutrients within the seeds and Shi Jia's special ability!

Shi Jia frowned as he looked at the distinct rows of potato seedlings in the field, at a loss for what to do.

"Never mind, let's cultivate the seeds first." Time was tight, so Shi Jia didn't dwell on it and quickly promoted the growth of local potato seedlings.

Flowering, fruiting, sowing, germination, flowering, fruiting...

After repeating this process three times, Shi Jia obtained five large baskets of potatoes.

Shi Jia called Wang Junjun over, "Do you know how to grow potatoes?"

Wang Junjun shook his head; he wasn't a farmer before the apocalypse.

Shi Jia didn't say anything, picked up a potato, and began to explain, "Do you see these nodes?"

Wang Junjun nodded.

"These are the potato sprouts. Can you tell how many sprouts this potato has?"

Wang Junjun took the potatoes and counted them carefully, "Five!"

“Yes, that’s right. So this potato can be divided into five potato plants.” Shi Jia took the potato from his hand, took out a knife, and cut it into five pieces, avoiding the sprouts. Each piece had a sprout.

"Wait—" Wang Junjun called softly.

Shi Jia glanced at him, threw five pieces of potato into a bowl filled with dark gray powder next to him, stirred it a couple of times, and made sure that each piece of potato was covered with the dark gray powder.

"This is wood ash mixed with my special rooting powder, which is intended to help the wounds on the potato tubers heal quickly. At the same time, it will help them take root and sprout quickly after being planted."

Wang Jun nodded.

“Okay, remember to space each potato about fifty centimeters apart. When you plant the potatoes later, sprinkle some wood ash into the holes. Not the ones in this pot, but the ones in that corner.” Shi Jia pointed to a pile of bags under the transparent wall.

"it is good."

"Go ahead and get busy! Call me to unleash your power after you're done planting." Shi Jia waved and continued with her experiments.
