Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 985 is now available!

After the planters successfully awakened their spiritual power, Shi Jia immediately started teaching classes. However, considering her busy schedule, she only allowed three people to come each day. Including the three people from Yan Dong Base and Yun Ming, she had to take a total of four people each day.

As for Wang Baobao, as mentioned before, she has already mastered the art of stimulating seed production.

Shi Jia only takes her with him when he's doing experiments.

Oh, right, after Yunming arrived, there were two of her lab assistants.

As for the planters, they learn from Shi Jia every morning and help him accelerate crop growth in the afternoon; this serves as their tuition.

Shi Jia's plan progressed steadily and systematically, and after half a month, the seeds she had mentioned were finally put on the market.

The reason it's so late is mainly because the soil, water, and fertilizer haven't arrived yet.

Of course, it's also because Shi Jia is too busy.

She had no choice but to ask the Lou family to hire a purification master, which is why it took so long.

"Dear neighbors, I believe you have all received the message. Yes, starting today, our Fuyuan Supermarket will have a batch of seeds available every two weeks."

"These vegetable seeds have been improved by the original growers. They only require purified soil, water, and fertilizer, so ordinary people like us can grow them..."

Even though they had already seen the information, the people in line couldn't help but exclaim in surprise again when they heard this.

Someone couldn't help but ask loudly, "Is it really true? We've been living in this apocalypse for so many years and we've never heard of ordinary people being able to grow crops?"

"Yes, if we could grow everything, what would we need those planters for?"

……

Suddenly, chaos erupted again in front of Fuyuan Supermarket.

The store manager, who was about to speak, had to raise his voice again. "Everyone, please be quiet. These seeds were provided by the original planter. You should all know very well that the original planter is the first and currently the only person in all the bases on Yimu Star to cultivate farmland in the wild."

"Our Fuyuan Supermarket was able to open thanks to the large supply of goods provided by the original growers..."

With the store manager's passionate explanation, everyone's confidence was finally rekindled.

"Okay, we trust the original growers and we trust Fuyuan Supermarket."

"Ahem, thank you all for your trust." The store manager took a sip of water and said in his hoarse voice, "Thank you all for your trust. Now I'll explain the purchase requirements."

"Huh? There are purchase requirements?" Everyone suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yes, because the seed yield is low, one seed costs 1 contribution point, and each family can only buy a maximum of five seeds."

"What! Only five! That's too few!"

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet and listen to me." The store manager shouted again, "In addition, you must use purified soil, water, and fertilizer for planting. Our supermarket also sells them. Soil costs 10 contribution points per pound, and each seed requires at least 2 pounds of soil."

"Fertilizer costs 20 contribution points per pound, and one pound of fertilizer can plant 10 seeds."

"You can use the water we drink every day, or you can buy water from our store."

"Of course, if you have a professional air purifier at home, you can take care of the soil, fertilizer, and water yourself..."

"We know, it was mentioned in the text message. Can we go in and buy it now?"

"That's enough." As soon as the store manager finished speaking, everyone rushed forward, leaving only the store manager, who was swaying from the impact, standing still.

"I need 5 seeds, 10 jin of soil, and 2 jin of fertilizer."

"me too."

"And me, I..."

In the blink of an eye, all 1000 seeds in the store were snapped up.

The store manager stared wide-eyed at the empty shelves. "Where are the seeds? Where are my seeds?!"

"Manager, everything's sold out." The sales assistant wiped the gleaming shelves with a rag.

"What!" The shop manager was heartbroken. He had thought that not many people would buy seeds on the first day, so he would buy another batch before leaving get off work to plant at home. Who knew that they would be sold out in the blink of an eye!
"You don't have a limit?"

"No, no, I just gave the customers what they asked for!" the sales assistant quickly tried to prove her innocence. "Ah—" the store manager pounded his chest in frustration. His wife had specifically reminded him before he left home that morning... "Waaah..." What to do? He felt his buttocks starting to hurt.

The sales assistant instinctively took two steps back. Had the store manager taken the wrong medicine today?
The sales assistant frowned, took a few steps back, and thought, "Wait, I haven't taken the seeds I specifically saved yet!" She quickly reached out and took a paper package from a hidden corner of the shelf.

"What are you holding!" The store manager stared sharply at her hand holding the paper package.

The sales assistant froze. "It's nothing, just personal belongings."

The store manager's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the sales assistant. "You know that stealing supermarket property is punishable by dismissal and being reported to the base's law enforcement team if discovered!"

The sales assistant was startled and quickly explained, "Manager, I didn't steal anything! I worked so hard to get this job, I would never steal, really!"

"Oh, really? Then what's that in your hand?"

"It's seeds, but I didn't steal them. I'm just on my way to the cashier to pay," the sales assistant hurriedly said. She could afford something that only cost 5 contribution points!

"Seeds!" The shop manager's eyes lit up.

The sales assistant gripped the paper package tightly, instantly understanding the store manager's meaning: grab the seeds!
"Manager, I only kept five, not enough for you."

The store manager frowned, "Only five!"

"Isn't the limit five per person? You said in the meeting this morning that no one can break the rule." The sales assistant looked at the store manager suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, the store manager said, "Okay, then give me three."

"What? Three? No way!"

"Four stars, or I will report your actions..."

"Okay, okay, three it is then." The sales assistant had no choice but to compromise.

The store manager was instantly overjoyed, haha, his butt was saved.

Undoubtedly, the first sale of the seeds was a success. Whether this success can be replicated in half a month depends on the planting situation during that time.

Of course, some people are happy about the seeds going on the market, while others are worried. The most worried are naturally the planters at the Yanzhong base.

In the past two weeks, several of them have learned how to induce seed growth, which means they will no longer be subject to the constraints of breeding bases and seed laboratories.

However, they did not feel happy; instead, a cloud of gloom hung over them.

If ordinary people succeed in cultivating it, it means they might lose their current status.

"Brother Zhong, what should we do?"

"Judging from the current situation, our status and treatment should not change much. There are more than 60,000 people in Yanzhong Base. It is impossible to feed them with just five seeds," Zhong Qingyu said with a frown.

"Not to mention everyone in the base, even the thousands of officials and several guards still need us to feed them." After all, food is scarce right now, and they still need planters to help them grow crops every day.

“Brother Zhong is right,” someone echoed.

“I agree with Brother Zhong’s opinion, but that’s only for now. What about the future? With Yuan Muxia’s abilities, I think she can develop ordinary grain seeds that don’t require special abilities to grow and can grow in polluted soil in two or three years at most,” Zhou Tianqi said.

He was one of the four who awakened later, and he clearly knew Yuanmu Xia's goal. Therefore, he was very apprehensive.

“Yes,” the other three echoed.

Everyone looked at them. Zhou Tianqi quickly repeated what Yuan Muxia had said.

"Brother Zhong, the base might not need us planters anymore by then."

Zhong Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, "This..."

“Brother Zhong, how about we…” someone’s face revealed malice.

"No!" Zhong Qingyu and the other three quickly interrupted.

"Huh? Why?"

If we don't save ourselves, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?
