85: Rice that brings life! Surviving while carrying a bed on their back!

"Master! The pit you wanted dug is ready!"

Xuxu came up to Su Lie and reported dutifully.

Su Lie looked at the Vegetable Garden in front of him, turned his head, and asked Xuxu, "Do you know how to grow vegetables?"

"Sorry! Master! I do not!"

Xuxu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and replied.

Su Lie sighed. He only knew how to dig pits and bury seeds, but he didn't know if this method would work.

There was no other way now.

Growing vegetables was a bit more troublesome and difficult than growing staple crops.

Fortunately, the Vegetable Garden had the Intelligent Control Adjustment effect.

Seeing this, Su Lie said to Xuxu, "Go find four of the more nimble Little Skeletons and bring them over! I will teach you how to plant them! ... When the time comes, you will be responsible for managing the Vegetable Garden!"

"Yes! Master, please rest assured! I will definitely complete the task!"

Xuxu was extremely excited after hearing this and quickly headed to the backyard.

Su Lie made this arrangement.

This was mainly because he currently possessed four types of vegetable seeds.

Among them were 100 cucumber seeds, 50 spinach seeds, 100 chili pepper seeds, and 10 cabbage seeds.

Soon.

Xuxu brought the selected Little Skeletons to the greenhouse Vegetable Garden.

Su Lie first gave them permission to view the Special Effect Intelligent Control Adjustment panel.

Immediately after.

He personally demonstrated to them how to dig pits and bury seeds, and how to water the vegetables based on the information on the Intelligent Control Adjustment panel.

Su Lie briefly explained the planting of cucumbers and the subsequent process of setting up trellises and hanging the vines.

"I will teach you the rest of the knowledge later!"

After Su Lie finished speaking to Xuxu and the others.

He immediately arranged, "Vegetable Garden No. 1 will plant cucumbers, Vegetable Garden No. 2 will plant spinach, Vegetable Garden No. 3 will plant chili peppers, and No. 4 will plant cabbage!"

"Our main task at this stage is to accumulate experience in growing vegetables based on the information provided by the Intelligent Control Adjustment effect, and then, once the vegetables mature and produce seeds, collect those seeds!"

"Then we will plant seeds in all the remaining areas!"

"Once we have stockpiled enough seeds, we will proceed with the official planting of vegetables for consumption!"

"Furthermore!"

"For every batch of vegetables planted, a portion of the seeds must be kept!"

... Soon.

His instructions were memorized by Xuxu, and after she gave her assurance.

Su Lie then headed to the paddy field in the backyard.

The required pit, 100 meters long and wide and 50 centimeters deep, for constructing the paddy field had already been dug.

Furthermore, the required 50,000 units of wood, 1 million monster crystals, 2,000 units of Stone, and 1 god-grade glass bottle had all been placed inside the pit.

This glass bottle was refined by Su Lie when he went to the Giant Tree Forest.

He immediately used the paddy field manufacturing blueprint.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye.

A flash of light appeared in the pit.

A wooden fence appeared around the pit.

There was an entrance and exit on the side of the fence facing the road.

In the area near the left side of the fence, a spring that continuously bubbled water outwards appeared.

Upon closer inspection.

It could be found.

This spring was actually a glass bottle.

A large amount of water was gushing out from the inside of the bottle.

Soon.

The paddy field was filled with water about 5 centimeters deep.

Once the water reached the waterline.

The flow of water from the spring decreased, and it stopped pouring water into the field.

However, if some of the water from this spring was scooped out, it would overflow with more water.

Witnessing this miraculous sight, Su Lie's thoughts became active: "I can have the Little Skeletons dig a small river that can lead directly to the Spirit Field and the Vegetable Garden!"

This would be much more convenient than carrying water bucket by bucket.

Thinking of this.

He immediately arranged for the 37 Little Skeletons waiting nearby to start digging according to the canal route he had planned.

Five minutes later.

When the Little Skeletons finished digging a section of the small ditch about 1 meter deep and 2 meters wide.

Su Lie used a shovel to dig open the barrier between the spring water and the ditch.

Splash!

The spring water immediately flowed sideways into the ditch.

In less than ten minutes.

The ditch was filled with spring water.

The spring water immediately returned to its original "maintenance" state.

Seeing this, Su Lie smiled: "It works! Follow the path I planned and keep digging until you reach the Spirit Field and the Vegetable Garden!"

Following that.

He began to use the shovel to plan the ditch leading to the Vegetable Garden.

After completion.

Su Lie returned to the front of the paddy field and finally looked at its panel.

[paddy field: red god-tier; Can plant rice; 100 meters long and wide;

Special Effect Rapid Growth: Rice in the paddy field will grow at one hundred times the normal growth rate.

Special Effect Great Harvest: Rice in the paddy field will receive a 500 times harvest effect.

Special Effect Automatic Nutrition: The nutrition required by the rice will be absorbed by the paddy field itself, requiring no additional fertilizer or nutrients.

Special Effect Artesian Spring: The paddy field has an artesian spring that can automatically adjust the water flow required for each growth stage of the rice and constantly replenish water consumption. The spring water of this artesian spring is clean and unpolluted mineral water.

Special Effect Pest and Disease Free: Rice planted in the Paddy Field will be permanently free of pests and diseases, allowing it to grow naturally and healthily.]

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Su Lie nodded.

He immediately went to the front yard and called Su Keqing over: "Keqing! This Paddy Field will be your responsibility! You need to summarize the experience of planting the rice..."

Su Lie gave Su Keqing the task.

Su Keqing said excitedly after hearing this: "Please rest assured, Master! Keqing will definitely not disappoint you!"

Su Lie then instructed: "You can select 10 Little Skeletons from those digging the river to be your subordinates! After they complete their daily work, they can assist with the work in the Spirit Field and the Vegetable Garden during their free time!"

Immediately.

Su Lie took out the 1,000 rice seedlings rewarded by the mist rule.

He looked at the panel for the God-Tier Rice Seedlings.

[Life Rice Seedling: red god-tier; God-tier rice. After planting, it can cultivate mimicry-capable Life Rice. Consuming 1 jin of rice nurtured by this rice daily can increase Lifespan by 1 year.

Yield: Each rice seedling can nurture 4,000 grains of Life Rice.

Note: This rice can only be cultivated in a God-Tier paddy field.]

"Hiss! Life Rice that can increase Lifespan?"

Su Lie couldn't help but gasp.

He immediately used Enhance on the rice seedlings.

Buzz! Buzz!

After a round of Strengthening.

The yield of the rice seedlings increased from 4,000 grains to 10,000 grains.

The increased Lifespan changed from 1 year to 5 years.

"Good! Good! Good! It truly is a great item!"

The corner of Su Lie's mouth slightly curled up, his eyes filled with excitement.

He immediately personally led Su Keqing and the Little Skeletons in transplanting the rice seedlings in the paddy field.

About an hour later.

Su Lie finally emerged from the muddy paddy field, cleaning the grime off his body near the artesian spring.

Only then did he open the ruyi pouch again.

He took out the 100,000 units of wood, 100,000 units of Stone, and 100,000 units of iron rewarded by the mist rule from the pouch and placed them in the basic materials pile in the front yard.

Currently.

His total storage of these three materials was 150,906 units of wood, 104,030 units of Stone, and 9,899,626 units of iron, respectively.

The storage of level 0 monster crystal had become 4,589,636 pieces.

After completing the placement of the basic materials.

Su Lie took out the 100 god-tier shaping beads rewarded by the mist rule.

He had previously possessed this type of shaping bead, with 40 pieces remaining.

With these 100 pieces, the total number became 140.

This shaping bead was a god-tier quality enhancement material that could increase the benefit value of a piece of furniture's designated special effect.

The requirement was that the furniture must be Red God-level Quality and possess at least 1 special effect.

Seeing this.

Su Lie immediately used the shaping bead on the [Special Effect Upgrade] of the Solid Wood Bed he was using.

This special effect required 60 shaping beads to upgrade once.

Each time increased the experience value gained from the upgraded special effect by 10 points.

This time, Su Lie used the shaping bead twice on this special effect.

A total of 120 pieces were consumed.

20 pieces remained.

The Solid Wood Bed's Special Effect Upgrade went from the original 12 experience points gained by a Survivor lying on the bed for 1 hour.

It was upgraded to 32 experience points gained per hour!

"In that case, can't I just lie in bed without moving?"

Su Lie's eyes widened upon seeing this, his mind racing: "No! Maybe I can use the Giant Bear Transformation special effect of the giant bear leather armor set to strap the bed to my back using wula grass rope..."

Thinking of this.

He grew increasingly excited in his heart: "The time limit for Giant Bear Transformation is 6 hours. I can move around carrying the Solid Wood Bed on my back during these 6 hours! I don't even have to worry about the Solid Wood Bed being smashed by a Mist Monster!"

Thinking of this.

He excitedly walked toward the Shelter.

Just as he was strapping the Solid Wood Bed to his back, a notification from the mist rule suddenly leaped into his sight, causing Su Lie's eyes to light up: "There's an Opportunity Mission like this?"
