Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 38 Advancement!

[Basic Fertilizer]

[Ingredients: Any system item of organic matter is usable]

[Effect: Enhances soil quality based on crafting result, increases the chance of harvesting high-quality crops (basic fertilizer cap at 20%), mix into tilled soil before sowing]

[Note: Everything can be used as fertilizer]

Han Qiwu acknowledged the truth, from a certain perspective, indeed everything can be used as fertilizer.

But currently in the game, Han Qiwu can only choose from the system items he currently owns to make fertilizer.

First, fish can be used as fertilizer, but it must be enclosed to compost first, not directly into the soil.

It's a pity that so many innards were thrown away before. If I'd known, I would've kept them for composting.

Who could have guessed the system's fertilizer would still require this method for production?

Besides fish, the peanut shells and bean pods from Han Qiwu's field can also be turned into nitrogen fertilizer. Just crush, boil them, put into a sealed jar, and let them naturally rot, they can be used as both a base and a top dressing fertilizer.

Of course, for now, the basic fertilizer can only be used as a base fertilizer, which is good enough.

Let's set the fertilizer aside for now. It can be made later anyway, since I lack the raw materials at the moment.

Among the four blueprints, what interested Han Qiwu the most was the sprinkler.

Sprinkler, my friends!

The leap from manpower to machinery!

With a sprinkler, does it mean there's no need to water anymore?

With excitement, Han Qiwu studied the blueprint closely.

[Basic Sprinkler]

[Materials: [Copper Ingot] ×1, [Iron Ingot] ×1]

[Effect: Basic sprinkler will water the 4 adjacent tiles to it every morning (centered on the sprinkler, up, down, left, right 4 tiles)]

[Note: It can keep spraying water though]

Han Qiwu: "....."

What kind of note is this!

It's just a mechanism that doesn't require manual refilling, yet they had to describe it like that!

Han Qiwu visualized the sprinkler's watering effect in his mind.

█Water█

Water Sprinkler Water

█Water█

What kind of inhumane design is this, effectively watering only 4 squares in a perfectly good 3x3 plot?

Besides, the peanuts and potatoes are already planted, and Han Qiwu didn't leave room specifically for the sprinkler. Does it mean having to grub out a few crops to install a sprinkler?

Spoiling it!

I'll make the sprinkler myself! I'll make it water four in a row!

After a closer look at the blueprint, Han Qiwu found it wasn't all that difficult; just insert a long iron pipe underground to draw groundwater, mold the body and nozzles with copper, and leave the rest to the system.

For high-tech blueprints like this, Han Qiwu only had to connect each crafted part to the extent that the system acknowledges it's complete.

If he couldn't even handle the watering automation, then what's the point of having a system!

Having gone through the blueprints, Han Qiwu took out his paper and pen to draft next week's work plan.

The most crucial task next week is to earn money, followed by collecting materials.

Building a chicken coop requires money, buying seeds requires money, upgrading tools requires money.

Besides, wood, stone, and copper ore are needed.

It's exhausting!

"Fishing during the day for money, chopping trees and smashing rocks to gather materials at night, and when going to town for meals, find a chance to ask Grandpa Chen and Aunt Hong Mei where there are caves around to try my luck."

"Keep fish innards for fertilizer, strive to use them as base fertilizer next seeding time."

"Take time to learn forging while opening geodes at the blacksmith's, study the sprinkler crafting."

Truly a busy life.

Finished eating the pancake, Han Qiwu thought about the 'time loss' event from last night, planning to go through two sets of Body Strengthening Technique.

As soon as he moved, Han Qiwu immediately felt the difference.

The set of movements went smoothly, as if he had applied a full can of lubricant, he felt no awkwardness at all.

"Could it be that Body Strengthening Technique has to be combined with other movements to be effective?" Han Qiwu felt he might have underestimated the Body Strengthening Technique.

[Body Strengthening Technique] is a temporary task reward. Both triggering and completing it isn't simple. Without Shennong's help, it's usually hard for Han Qiwu to gain this [Body Strengthening Technique].

After going through three to five sets of movements, Han Qiwu became completely familiar with the first set, his speed increased as well.

[Advanced!]

[Body Strengthening Technique has leveled up to 1]

[Effect: Max Health +20, all Stamina consumption reduced by 0.2, based on your actions you have a chance to acquire more materials]

[Logging Epiphany Reward: Max Stamina +20, Wood Gathering Efficiency +20%, very low chance to acquire random saplings when logging]

[Note: Body Strengthening Technique, it's the simplest among its countless names]

What's going on? Such abundant rewards?

It actually increases Max Health directly?

Can reduce stamina consumption?

Can randomly gather saplings?

Body Strengthening Technique is too strong!

Han Qiwu felt a tinge of regret, he should have dedicated more time to Body Strengthening Technique.

Better late than never, henceforth, he's going to practice diligently.

Glancing at the time, 8:13, Han Qiwu donned his raincoat, grabbed his pancake, and prepared to go fishing by the sea.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

King of the Sea, billionth candidate Han Qiwu is coming!

Of course, before fishing, Han Qiwu still needed to forage around a bit.

Although foraging takes time, there's no way around it; after all, who wouldn't take free stuff?

If heaven doesn't give, what if one day heaven stops giving?

"Having a pet would be nice, not expecting it to cook or look after kids, even if it helps pick some wild berries daily, it'd be fine," thought Han Qiwu while cycling.

Before coming here, he had a mind to get a puppy, but hadn't found one he fancied yet.

Plus, given the current situation, if he got a Husky, the house would be in pieces.

Let it be for now!

These three words can resolve ninety percent of problems in the world.

After picking wild onions, Han Qiwu thought it marked the end of today's foraging trip. But when he checked his map, he discovered a particularly bright spot.

If other spots are like candlelight, then this one is like an incandescent lamp.

"What's this place? Never seen a bright spot there before," Han Qiwu scrutinized the map; the glow sat in a small grove by the river. Unlike other spots, this one was flickering.

"Playing games, encountering flashing lights can mess with your head." Han Qiwu took a deep breath, "But I'm not like them! I won't be enslaved by the flash! I was supposed to go fishing now!"

Two minutes later, his eyes shut, Han Qiwu still sensed the flash.

"What if someone else picks it up?"

"What if it's something really important?"

"Not taking the treasure would be against the natural order!"

"What were you saying just now!"

Han Qiwu opened his eyes and made up his mind!

"Taking a quick look won't take much time, I can still fish afterwards!"

"It's a flash after all! Missing it would be such a waste!"
