Jiang Ke had a bad feeling.

He glanced down and saw his premonition come true.

The style of clothes he was wearing was exactly the same as the one the NPC was wearing, except that his clothes had the word "甲" printed on it.

Wow, they are really A and B.

Just as Jiang Ke was complaining, another line of words appeared in front of him: Plant a batch of saplings together.

Jiang Ke watched as a bunch of saplings appeared in front of him.

It takes 90 days for A to complete the task alone and 60 days for B to complete the task alone.

Jiang Ke saw a 60-day countdown appear above the head of "B". Jiang Ke subconsciously raised his hand to touch his head, but found nothing.

How many saplings are there in this batch?

Jiang Ke frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with this question.

He started with the title.

Question: There are two people, A and B, who are planting a batch of saplings together. It takes 90 days for A to complete the task alone, and 60 days for B to complete the task alone. How many saplings are there in this batch?

This question does not require any technical skills. There is no need to plant them. These saplings are just lying on the ground. Can't we just count how many trees there are?

Jiang Ke rolled up his sleeves and started working, completely ignoring the hoe and bucket placed beside him.

The saplings were placed neatly, which made it convenient for Jiang Ke to count them.

The saplings were only as long as an adult's arm. Jiang Ke counted them one by one, grouping them into groups of ten and piled them up again.

He was counting with great interest, and the NPC was very honest and picked up a hoe to start digging the hole.

Although there are a lot of saplings, it is not difficult to light them up, it just takes some time.

It was not until Jiang Ke's number was almost half that he realized that the number seemed wrong.

Too little.

Although there seem to be a lot of saplings on the ground, considering that it takes Jiang Ke 90 days to plant them alone, the number of saplings is too small.

It seems that the saplings should be released in batches.

Jiang Ke sighed. It turned out that there were no loopholes in the examination room.

Jiang Ke gave up the points and stood up.

He squatted for a long time and counted for more than an hour, but it was all in vain.

Anyway, time was wasted. Jiang Ke felt that he was not worried about having too much debt, so he walked directly to "B" and watched how he planted.

"B" looks to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His skin is tanned from excessive exposure to the sun and covered with wrinkles. His eyes are dull and numb, like a member of the lower class who has been overwhelmed by the hardships of life.

His movements were methodical, or you could say, step-by-step. He dug holes, planted seedlings, filled the land, and watered the plants. There was not a single unnecessary movement, as if it was a set procedure.

Jiang Ke looked at him for a long time. To be honest, there was nothing interesting to see and Jiang Ke didn't know what he was looking at.

He squatted down, supported his chin with his hands and watched him work, without saying a word or helping, just like the pampered young masters in ancient times exploiting the farmhands.

Jiang Ke was amused by his own associations and felt that he was quite shameless.

Jiang Ke felt a bit bored when he was idle, and seeing "B" working so diligently, in order not to live up to the title of "young master", he picked up the hoe.

Jiang Ke grew up in the village after all, and didn't do much farm work, but he had held a hoe before, so he wasn't completely clueless.

He carefully looked at the holes dug by "B" when planting trees. The two holes were two meters apart, which was the length of a hoe laid flat plus a sapling.

Jiang Ke started digging according to the standard. He was not used to digging and putting the seedlings one by one, and felt it was a waste of time. He planned to dig the holes first and then put the seedlings later.
