After quitting 996, I became the master of the deserted planet
Chapter 7 Harvest Chapter
When she got home and checked the time, she realized that a day had passed since she left Blue Star. It was now the next morning.
No one was home, so Chu Jiao went back to her room to take a bath. She was grateful to her father for buying her three large folding bathtubs. In the morning, she would use the folding bathtubs to draw lake water and heat it up in the sun to take a bath. It was not as comfortable as the shower at home.
After taking a shower, I just threw a pile of dirty clothes into the washing machine when I heard the door open. Chu's mother came back from buying groceries.
"Jiaojiao, you're back. Your dad waited for you all day yesterday but you didn't come home. He didn't know when you would be back. He went to the supermarket today and asked you to come home and call him if you have anything."
"Mom, you guys can continue to live the same as before. You don't have to wait for me. I go in and out of the house from there, and I don't go outside. It's very safe."
"Okay, I was worried at first, but now that I see you're doing well, I'm relieved. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. Your dad and I are both free."
"Okay, Mom, I love you." Chu Jiao gave her mother a hug
The courier delivered all the seeds I bought online this afternoon. There were too many seedlings, so the direct delivery has not yet arrived. It will probably take two days. The fruit tree seedlings I ordered from the market two days ago should be available tomorrow. Dad Chu said that he would borrow a small pickup truck from a friend to pick them up himself.
At dinner in the evening, Chu Jiao and her father agreed to go get some fruit tree seedlings together. They also had to buy some poles to build racks for the cucumbers. There were no small insects there, and the watermelons had to be pollinated artificially. They had a lot of work to do next. Chu Jiao made a list of the things she needed to buy. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, so she went to bed quickly.
At six o'clock in the morning, when Chu Jiao came downstairs, her father had already driven back the borrowed pickup truck. Chu's mother continued to prepare food at home, ready to fill the empty lunch box that Chu Jiao brought home. The father and daughter first went to buy the things on Chu Jiao's list, and then drove the car to a deserted place to put the things into the system space.
Arriving at the seed wholesale market, they had already prepared the saplings. After counting and loading them onto the truck, they continued to drive to an uninhabited area to collect the system space. Dad Chu sent Chu Jiao home and then went to return the car.
Chu Jiao went home, packed up the lunch box prepared by her mother, and went to the desolate planet. As soon as she arrived at the desolate planet, she was shocked by the scenery in front of her. The originally barren land turned into a green area, looking full of vitality, and it felt like the whole planet was alive.
The watermelons in the field were in bloom and needed artificial pollination. Chu Jiao fumbled around for a long time before she learned how to pollinate. Gradually, her skills became more and more proficient. After pollinating ten acres of watermelons, she was already very skilled. She lay down on the ground and squatted there for a whole day. She ate her meals in the field and her legs could not even stand up straight.
I went to the tent, washed, filled my stomach, and fell asleep. The next day, I pollinated the melons. On the third day, I pollinated the strawberries. I spent another five days setting up racks for cucumbers, tomatoes, and beans. After all the work, I was so tired that I lay in the tent and questioned my life.
Chu Jiao sat under the canopy, enjoying the breeze of a small fan. In the distance, a tiller was diligently watering the fields. Looking at the vibrant fields, she felt a sense of accomplishment. She took out her phone, took a photo, and recorded a short video. She planned to go back and show her parents the fruits of her labor.
Next, Chu Jiao planted the fruit tree seedlings according to their species. She planted twenty acres of each of Fengshui pears, honey plums, sweet oranges, peaches, and cherries that were said to be imported. It took ten days.
Chu Jiao did not rest afterwards. She took the tiller to the foot of the mountain and planted all the mixed seeds of wild flowers and weeds that she had bought online. She then returned to the lake and reclaimed 500 acres of land along the inner perimeter.
After working here for nearly twenty days, the stored food has been almost eaten up. I have finished all the work for the time being. The fruit tree seedlings I bought online should be arriving soon. Chu Jiao set the automatic watering mode for the tiller and went home.
It was exactly seven o'clock in the morning when Chu Jiao got home. She put the empty lunch boxes on the dining table and went back to her room to take a shower. Just as she threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, her mother came to find her.
"Put your clothes here, I'll wash them for you later. You've been there for so long this time, your lunch box is empty. Your dad borrowed a car to help you transport the fruit trees. The logistics company called to say the goods have arrived."
"The express has arrived. I calculated the time is almost up, and I was thinking of waiting to see the progress of the logistics." Chu Jiao was afraid that she would not be able to contact herself by then, so she wrote Chu's father's contact information when placing the order.
Chu Jiao picked up her phone and posted the photos and videos she had taken on the desolate planet to the family group. The group consisted of only Chu Jiao, her father, and her mother. "Mom, look, these are all planted by me. Isn't that amazing?"
"We've planted so many fields in just a few days, and they're growing so well. Isn't the deadline one month? Take your time, don't be so anxious. You've never done physical work since you were a child, don't get exhausted all of a sudden." Mother Chu looked at the vast expanse of green, feeling proud and distressed. These were all earned by her daughter's sweat. Her daughter worked hard at everything she did since she was a child, and her grades had never worried them. Now she's doing so well in farm work.
"Don't worry, Mom. There are machines to do it. I'll just build a rack to pollinate the plants. I don't have to do any physical work. The tasks will get heavier in the future. If you work harder now, it will be easier later. When I pay off the energy coins I owe, I'll try to save them to buy supplementary cards for you and Dad. Then you can all come and help me."
"Okay, then I'll wait."
At this time, there was a sound of a car entering the garage outside. It was Chu's father who came home. Chu Jiao hurried over to put away the fruit tree seedlings in the car. Chu's father drove the car out to return it.
After a whole morning of hard work, Dad Chu arrived home just in time for lunch. "Jiaojiao, are the plants in the video what you've planted these days? They're growing so fast. They've grown so big in just a few days. If they keep going like this, they'll be ready to harvest in a few days."
"There's a big time difference between the two places, and I found the land over there seems to be more suitable for planting. Even though I'm a novice, I can still grow something by just randomly planting."
"How many acres have been planted now? When will the task be completed?"
"I've already finished planting the fifty acres of land for my first mission, and I'll be done with the harvest. I've also planted another five hundred acres over there these past few days, and the seeds are almost all planted. I also chose a patch of mixed wildflower and weed seeds at the foot of a mountain not far from the fields. I'm thinking of raising some chickens, ducks, and geese over there once they grow. Then we won't have to buy eggs at home. Dad, can you please ask where I can buy them?"
"Okay, I'll go ask you if you need something to store your vegetables when they're ripe. You also planted strawberries, right? Do you need some baskets and pots?"
"Oh, that's right. The system takes two-thirds, and the rest is mine. Dad, look for wholesale baskets and pots. The more you buy, the cheaper it will be. And bees, we need to buy some more. So many fruit trees need pollination when they bloom, and I can't handle it all by myself." Dad Chu often goes to the small supermarket to buy goods. He knows a lot of people, so it should be easier to find out. If Chu Jiao were to find it herself, she would have to give up.
“I’ll go ask where I can buy it.”
"Don't worry about the bees. The fruit trees have just been planted and they shouldn't bloom so soon." Chu Jiao didn't care after handing the matter over to Chu's father. Chu's father considered things more comprehensively than she did.
After lunch, Chu Jiao went back to her room to rest. Chu's mother went out to buy some vegetables and started working. She had to fill up the empty lunch box, otherwise she would feel uneasy.
The barren planet was alright for the time being. She had reclaimed the land but didn't have money to buy seeds. She would wait until she had a harvest to get her money back before starting work. Chu Jiao planned to rest at home for a few days. Chu Ma kept preparing all kinds of food for Chu Jiao to put away. Chu Jiao calculated that her current stockpile was enough for her to eat there for three months with some left over, so she quickly stopped Chu Ma's actions.
After a few leisurely days, Chu Jiao went to the bookstore and bought a bunch of agricultural books. She read and took notes in the attic every day. On the fifth day, the voice of the system came from her mind.
"Fifty acres of cash crops have matured. The system will reclaim two-thirds of them as agreed. Please confirm, host."
Chu Jiao put down her notes, sent a message to Chu Ma to report her itinerary, and then headed to the desolate planet. Seeing the fruit-laden ground, she was stunned. "Xiao San, it's only been about a week according to Blue Star time, and they're already ripe?"
"Host, yes, the system indicates that it is ripe for harvest."
Chu Jiao walked into the watermelon field. Each watermelon was round and big, weighing about ten pounds each, and none of them were deformed. The cantaloupes also grew according to the template, weighing about two pounds each. The strawberries were also big and beautiful. A strong strawberry fragrance wafted through the strawberry field. The cabbages over there were juicy and tender, and each one was estimated to be about seven or eight pounds. There were no radishes to be seen in the field. The joy of a good harvest~~~
"The system will take back two-thirds according to the agreement. Please confirm, host." The system's voice came again in my mind.
"Confirm, how do you collect it? You don't want me to pick it, do you?" Chu Jiao looked at the fruits all over the ground. How long would it take to pick them?
"The system will collect it by itself, without the host's help. The part that belongs to the host needs to be dealt with by the host himself." After the system said this, most of the fruits on the ground disappeared.
"Two-thirds of the cash crops have been collected, deducting 17 energy coins. The host's current energy coin balance is -83. Please continue to work hard to obtain energy coins."
"Host has completed the first mission, and is rewarded with 1,000 square meters of system space and a smart irrigation system."
"The first mission has been completed. Host, do you accept the second mission?"
Chu Jiao was happy after hearing the system announcement. The space had doubled. She was just worrying about whether there was enough space for the remaining vegetables and fruits.
"The second task is not urgent, I will take it later. How to use the irrigation system?" Chu Jiao learned her lesson and must ask clearly about the function before using it.
"The smart irrigation system can be linked to a system map. Once an irrigation area is selected and activated, the smart irrigation system will automatically detect the moisture content of the land and automatically extract water to simulate rainfall to irrigate the land that meets the irrigation standards. The smart irrigation system can cover a maximum irrigation area of 7 square kilometers."
This reward is so useful. The planting area is getting bigger and bigger. It is too busy to water the 1,000 square meters of space with the tiller. With this, there is no need to worry about watering. The area around the lake and the mountain over there can be set within the coverage range.
Chu Jiao studied the irrigation system and set the coverage area on the system map. She didn't have to worry about watering for the time being. It would take a long time to plant all 70,000 square kilometers.
There is still a piece of land waiting for her to harvest.
"Xiao San, can you help me get the rest into the system space?"
"Host, yes, it is possible. The handling fee is one thousand energy coins."
"Can I use vegetables to offset the tax?" I have too many vegetables to eat, so fruits are a good selling point.
"Yes, the host can also sell the remaining part to the system to obtain energy coins."
"Not yet, I am still waiting to sell the harvest, and I don't have money to buy seeds." I can consider it when I have more harvests in the future, otherwise when will I be able to sell so much?
"Okay, host, the deduction fee has been deducted, and the remaining economic crops have been put into the system space." After the system finished speaking, the ground was cleaned up.
