    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Since he learned from the system that deep-processing products are not included in the sales required to light up the illustration book, Xie Xingchen went to the tropical plantation in Qiong Dao to personally lead the robots there to expand the orchard, and then went to the previously markedSee where the fruit trees grow and see if they bear fruit.

    It is a pity that except for the coconut tree, the other fruit trees do not bear fruit in winter, or the fruit they bear is very green and tastes completely unsuitable for sale.

    To change this situation, high technology can be used.

    Therefore, after buying the equipment, Xie Xingchen led the robots to make some simple modifications to the growing environment of the fruit trees, and then returned to the Chang'an workshop.

    Another part of Chang'an City connected to Chang'an Workshop is still surrounded by thick fog.

    Looking from a height, apart from the eye-catching thick fog in the antique Chang'an workshop, only the tall ginkgo tree in the center of the workshop is extremely eye-catching.

    In the era when Xie Xingchen lived, the ginkgo tree was called a "living fossil". It has excellent aesthetic value, economic value and medicinal value, but at the same time, it is an endangered species and is a national first-class protected plant., are rare worldwide.

    Xie Xingchen knows that the reason why he knows the ginkgo tree is not because it is a national first-class protected plant, but because of a person who once planted a ginkgo tree thousands of years ago-Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

    In the past, when he was in school, as long as he learned the history of the Tang Dynasty, his teacher could not help talking about the ginkgo tree planted by Li Shimin himself.

    Because of this, he always felt that the ginkgo tree was inseparable from the flourishing Tang Dynasty.

    Ginkgo trees have a very long growth period. Generally speaking, it takes nearly 40 years to produce fruit.

    Such a long time to bear fruit discourages many people who want to plant ginkgo trees, and it also makes Xie Xingchen feel worried.

    After all, if you want to light up the illustration book by selling ginkgo fruit, then Xie Xingchen needs to find 40000*10 ginkgo fruit.

    At present, the only ginkgo tree he knows is the one in front of him, but how can one tree provide 400,000 ginkgo nuts?

    Therefore, if he wants to find so many ginkgo fruits, Xie Xingchen can only hope that there are a lot of ginkgo trees in Chang'an City under construction, or that he can find more ginkgo trees in the wild one day, otherwise he can only choose to sell the ginkgo treesLet's light up the picture book.

    After all, ginkgo trees have to be 40 years old to bear fruit!And selling saplings only needs to transfer mental power for a few weeks.

    After making up his mind, Xie Xingchen was not in such a hurry.

    Anyway, left and right are just two choices, just close your eyes and make a decision, it's very simple.

    Just in case he does end up selling ginkgo trees, he has to start breeding ginkgo trees now.

    ...

    The seeds of the ginkgo tree are called "ginkgo", which has strong medicinal value, and the ginkgo is also the fruit of the ginkgo tree.

    Xie Xingchen collected a batch of ginkgo fruit when he discovered the ginkgo tree before, but considering that he might need to sell the ginkgo fruit in the future, Xie Xingchen chose cuttings as the main sowing supplement for breeding this time.

    Select healthy branches with a diameter of about 1cm on the trunk of a mature ginkgo tree and cut off 20-30cm in length, and then soak these branches of similar size in the plant growth liquid and plant nutrient solution.

    After the branches are found to be full and green, insert them into the soil, and then carry out regular watering and fertilization maintenance.

    As for sowing?It's not difficult, just follow the normal steps.

    Planting ginkgo trees does not require flat land, so Xie Xingchen directly found a small barren slope that can be seen from the Chang'an workshop wall to do trouble.

    After working for several days, the ginkgo branches and ginkgo were planted.

    After another two days, when they started to take root and sprout, Xie Xingchen loosened up quickly, and the newly planted ginkgo trees had already adapted to the soil. After that, he only needed to go over occasionally to send some mental energy, and the rest of the work such as fertilizing and watering was his own work.Planting robot handling.

    ...

    On this day, Xie Xingchen was rarely free. He lay on the bed, poked into the player warehouse that came with the system, and began to sort out the things left in the system warehouse.

    It can be said to be tidying up, but in fact it is just admiring, after all, his little things can't even fill one-tenth of the warehouse!

    But dissatisfied, Xie Xingchen was very happy when he opened the warehouse. He could read the product introduction for half an hour, and he went to the next door when the system mall next door refreshed at zero o'clock and the new event started.

    The zero-time instant kill event in the game mall, which Xie Xingchen once loved and hated, has always been dedicated to his business, and it goes online on time.

    But because most of the purchase time for new activities is 24 hours a day, Xie Xingchen subscribed to the system reminder, so slowly, Xie Xingchen stopped squatting on it.

    After the excitement period, he now takes a look at it every morning before getting up, buys it if he needs it, and ignores it if he doesn't need it.

    It was a coincidence today, otherwise Xie Xingchen would just get up in the morning to take a look as before.

    The refreshed items today are very different from the usual refreshed items. Although there are still flashy items with high prices, there are two strange items in the new list today—special items that emit a faint light.

    [Name: Mental Power Restoration Potion

    Function: restore part of the player's mental power

    Selling price: 50 million star coin turnover (discounted by 50%)]

    [Name: Plant Growth Potion

    Function: One drop of potion increases tree age by one year

    Capacity: 100 drops

    Price: 30 million star coin turnover (70% discounted)]

    After reading the introduction, Xie Xingchen immediately took a picture of the plant growth potion.

    As for the spirit recovery potion, Xie Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

    Although the function description of this mental power recovery potion is "to restore part of the player's mental power".

    But... it glows!

    So let's buy it, this special item has a high probability of being a good thing!

    Gritting his teeth, Xie Xingchen spent 50 million star coins, and took the bottle of spirit recovery potion that glowed faintly.

    After getting it, Xie Xingchen realized that the so-called potion was pitifully small, it was even smaller than his smallest essential oil sample bottle.

    And the most amazing thing is that this potion is real!of!exist!send!Light!

    The liquid in the potion bottle gave off a faint golden halo, as if it had been given special effects.

    Xie Xingchen: Emmm.

    To be honest, suddenly felt a little afraid to drink.

    Xie Xingchen looked skeptical: "Xiaomo, can this thing really drink?"

    Just like mercury with different colors and special effects added, normal people probably wouldn't dare to drink it, right?

    Coincidentally, Xie Xingchen is a normal person, so he dare not drink it!

    [System: Please rest assured, the potion for restoring mental power is a normal drinkable potion.】

    Normal drinkable medicine?

    Xie Xingchen glanced at the glowing "Golden Mercury" again, and he questioned his soul: "Are you sure?"

    The system can make mistakes, and maybe a bug can be fixed after a system mistake, but he only has one life!If it's gone, it's gone, but it can't be rolled back.

    [System: OK.】

    【Gentle reminder from the system: Please drink the potion in time, the sooner you drink the potion, the better the effect.】

    Xie Xingchen:?

    Xie Xingchen: Alright!

    Now that the system has said so, Xie Xingchen hesitantly raised the bottle of "golden mercury" with a suspicious expression on his face.

    With a ruthless heart, he drank it all in one gulp.

    Fearing that the liquid would stick to the wall of the cup, Xie Xingchen even strategically shook it twice.

    He didn't put down the bottle until he saw that there was no luminous liquid in the small bottle from the corner of his eye.

    Just when Xie Xingchen opened his mouth to say something, there was a "bang".

    Xie Xingchen fell down.

    When he woke up again, it was the third morning, and he found that he was not in the bedroom, but was moved to the treatment cabin on the starship by three robots, Fa Cai, Fu Gui, and Chang Shou.

    Seeing that Xie Xingchen opened his eyes, Fa Cai quickly ran over and said concernedly: "Boss, you are awake!"

    Xie Xingchen was at a loss, looked at Fa Cai in a hurry, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with me?"

    Xie Xingchen's remnant of memory is that after drinking the spirit recovery potion, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he has no other consciousness after that.

    Fa Cai sighed: "Boss, you have been fainted for three days. When we went to your house to find you the day before yesterday, you fainted on the bed, and then we brought you here for a test. After the test, Chang Shou said you are fine, soWe didn't take you to the doctor."

    The implication is that if Chang Shou said that Xie Xingchen was busy, then Xie Xingchen should be in the hospital right now.

    Hearing this, Xie Xingchen was very satisfied, he solemnly patted Fa Cai on the shoulder and praised: "Okay, Fa Cai, you guys are all doing well! You have handled this matter well, and you will handle things like this in the future!"

    After finishing speaking, he changed the topic: "By the way, where are Fu Gui and Chang Shou?"

    Fa Cai said honestly: "Because Chang Shou said that you are fine, so the three of us took turns staying here in shifts. This morning I was guarding, Fu Gui went to deliver pasture, and Chang Shou went to plant ginkgo trees."

    Hearing this, Xie Xingchen nodded even more satisfied.

    It is indeed his robot!

    His robot is promising!

    Don't talk about it when you are in danger, you don't waste any time at all, well done!

    Xie Xingchen earnestly and seriously praised Fa Cai and Fugui and Chang Shou who hadn't come back yet. With a few words, he made Fa Cai happy and continued to work energetically.

    Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the treatment room, Xie Xingchen anxiously opened the panel.

    He felt that all doubts would be answered on the panel.

    [Player Information Panel]

    Name: Xie Xingchen

    Race: Human

    Territory: Earth

    Level: LV6

    Partner: Fat Rabbit (Fat)[+]

    Experience: 100/60000

    Plant Compatibility: ?+1

    Mental Power Level: A(?)

    Game Progress: 0.5%

    Pokédex progress: 0 (lighten the achievement card to increase by 0.5%)

    Infrastructure progress: 0.5%

    Ongoing task: infrastructure task (1) small test

    It's really not his illusion, his spiritual power has really grown!

    His mental power level on the character panel changed from A- to A!

    So what exactly was the mental recovery potion he drank that day?

    Does its so-called "restore part of the player's mental power" refer to the level of personal mental power?

    Xie Xingchen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

    His eyes wandered back and forth between the words "recovery," "player," and "part."

    In the end, he came to an astonishing conclusion—his (original owner) mental power was not B-level, but probably S or SS, which was higher than A.

    This conclusion is justified!

    First of all, the bottle of mental power recovery potion he drank had a clear effect-it could only restore part of the player's mental power.

    And what is a part?According to general language habits, what can be called a part must be divided into at least three or more parts, and only one part of it can be called a "part".

    Now that he has recovered part of his mental power, his mental power level has been upgraded to A, and above A is A+, and above A+ is S.

    Then according to the recovery of part of the mental power, a small level can be increased. If this part is one-third, then if the remaining two-thirds are counted, he is now an A, and he will most likely not stop at A+.

    Secondly, the mental power level on Xie Xingchen’s character panel is followed by (?). Xie Xingchen already understands that this symbol means “can be increased”, so let’s think flexibly. Is there a possibility that… the system actually hasItems that increase mental power?

    If there is such an item, then add another "spiritual power recovery potion" to restore the original mental power, and finally it can be reasonably inferred that his mental power level will not stop at A+, and it can reach S at worst.

    Thinking of this, Xie Xingchen cheered up.

    Who wants to be weak if they can be strong!

    If his spiritual level can really reach S, then not only will he work more easily in the future, but his value will also be higher!

    Even as long as he is given time to grow, he can become a thigh. Even if someone finds that the earth is not right, it will be nothing to him!

    Xie Xingchen's eyes sparkled and he said, "System, do you still have the mental recovery potion? If you have it, give me another bottle!"

    【system:……】

    [System: The mall has not been refreshed, please pay attention to the mall.】

    It means fuck off, I don't have it here.

    Xie Xingchen felt very regretful, such an easy-to-use system didn't sell much?This is too bad!

    Xie Xingchen felt that the system missed 10 billion!

    It was a good opportunity to make money, but it didn't grasp it. It's really a pity.

    ...

    next day

    Xie Xingchen, who had stabilized his level of mental power, stood on the wall of Chang'an Workshop.

    Looking at the dense fog in Chang'an City next door, he pressed the "robot rental service" button.

    After pressing this button, the system immediately pops up a box.

    [System: Please select a service.】

    [1. Contract labor service 2. Contract labor and material service 3. Contract labor and material package design service 4. All-inclusive service]

    Xie Xingchen chose [4] without even thinking about it, and then the system continued to pop up a box.

    [System: Please select a road style.】

    [1. Cobblestone roads 2. Tree-lined trails 3. Normal roads 4. Larger roads 5. Fully designed by designers/engineers]

    Adhering to leaving professional matters to professionals, Xie Xingchen chose [5].

    After selection, the system pops up a small box again, in which many designer names appear.

    And the third place is Xie Xingchen's acquaintance - engineer Xiaoxiao.

    In front of Xiaoxiao are Fangfang and Yuanyuan.

    Xie Xingchen: [like.jpg]

    This naming level is even better than him!

    However, the complaints belong to the complaints, except for Xiao Xiao, Xie Xingchen really doesn't know anyone.

    The only small name I recognize is still gray, and it is followed by a sign that says [Work hard ing].

    Now, Xie Xingchen knew that he couldn't choose Xiaoxiao this time, so he set his sights on Fangfang and Yuanyuan who were in front of Xiaoxiao.

    He doesn't know who Fangfang and Yuanyuan are, but they can be placed on Xiaoxiao's head. They are at least as powerful as Xiaoxiao, or more powerful than Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, this ranking alone is enough for the "lively" Xiaoxiao to settle accounts with the systemup!

    Without a resume, without any works, without any information, it is impossible to draw a conclusion on who is more suitable just by relying on the two names, Xie Xingchen.

    Finally, he said directly: "Xiaomo, can I choose two engineers to be responsible for the north and south sides? In this case, one engineer is responsible for the road construction in one place, which can also speed up our infrastructure construction."

    Perhaps the word "infrastructure" hit the system again.

    The system is suspiciously stuck.

    After getting stuck, the system agreed to Xie Xingchen to make the single-choice questions into multiple-choice questions.

    [System: The Fangfang engineer team and the Yuanyuan engineer team are on standby, please pay the turnover of 500 million star coins immediately.】

    Xie Xingchen: Wear a mask of pain.jpg

    A turnover of 500 million star coins?

    Where did he get so much money!

    He now has more than 400 million star coins left in his account balance, and there is still a gap of nearly 60 million star coins after all the calculations.

    Xie Xingchen couldn't help discussing with the system: "Little devil, look, many of the engineering teams pay by installments, so we have to keep pace with the times, right? You can also detect my account balance.I really don’t have that much money, so let’s see if we can accommodate it? After all, if we don’t accommodate it, we can only wait for me to earn enough money before starting construction.”

    Xie Xingchen gave the system a choice in a sincere tone.

    Either in installments, or wait for him to have enough money before starting infrastructure construction.

    Anyway, Xie Xingchen has nothing to worry about, he thinks that the system just loves infrastructure.

    This choice is so obvious that the urging system can only choose the first one.

    However

    [System: Interest is required for installment payments.】

    Xie Xingchen:?

    As for the 60 million star coins, he can get them in two days, so what's the interest?

    Xie Xingchen was dumbfounded.

    Xie Xingchen said speechlessly, "How much interest do you want?"

    [If 60 million star coins are paid in installments, you need to pay 6,000 star coins in interest per day.】

    Xie Xingchen was speechless, so expensive.

    But if you think about it carefully, the interest for two days is only 12,000 star coins. Compared with the speed of the system engineering team, this amount of money...doesn't seem like a big deal?

    After thinking for a while, Xie Xingchen finally decided to pay in installments.

    [System: Hire an engineering team*2, the total cost of the package is 500 million, 440 million star coins have been deducted so far, and the remaining 60 million star coins will be deducted for 2 consecutive days by deducting 30 million star coins per day, and the installment payment interest is 1.2Ten Thousand Star Coins.】

    [System: Please confirm the bill.】

    Although interest was deducted, Xie Xingchen didn't take the interest to heart because the amount deducted was not much to Xie Xingchen.

    Compared with the 12,000 star coins, he wants to know what kind of path the system engineering team will build for him.

    Press the [Confirm] button, and the deduction information will arrive immediately.

    [System: The transaction has been completed, the account amount is now deducted 440,000,000 star coins, and the balance is 168,957 star coins.】

    Unlike Xie Xingchen's scenario where a team of engineers will appear as soon as the fee is deducted, the system will start to act first after the fee is deducted.

    The system first scans three places on the system page, namely the map of the flower field, pasture and Qiong Dao.

    Then it was subdivided in these three locations, and the rivers, mountains, farmland, buildings, etc. inside were drawn.

    One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes.

    It's only five minutes!Xie Xingchen got an incomparably detailed "Activity Venue Map".

    Although this map is not rare with the current technology, it cannot be as fast and detailed as the system.

    After the system generated the map, that map suddenly disappeared.

    However, not long after he disappeared, Xie Xingchen not only got the map, but also got two detailed road construction drawings.

    Public roads of various sizes, leisure and entertainment trails, landscape trails, etc. are all reasonably designed. After a rough look, Xie Xingchen only thinks it is very suitable.

    However, when he picked up the original maps and compared them one by one, Xie Xingchen was amazed!

    It's not like I don't know, I'm startled.

    It's just adding different roads on the basis of these buildings, farmland, and scenery. However, just by adding makeup to the pixels, the whole place becomes extraordinarily eye-catching.

    Moreover, every road on the drawings of the engineers is very suitable, and Xie Xingchen can't find any faults in every road. In some places, they even casually adjusted the nearby flowers, plants and buildings, but Xie Xingchen stared at the random peneyes.

    Originally, he thought the 500 million star coins were too expensive.

    Now he feels that the 500 million star coins are too worthwhile!

    Where is this construction road!

    This is to beautify the environment as much as possible on the basis of road construction!

    To be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that Xie Xingchen's premise for hiring robots was to build roads, and the resources and prices planned for him by the system were based on the materials needed for road construction, he doubted that these two robots even wanted to build him a city, a placeXanadu!

    Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Xingchen excitedly finalized the first draft of the design.

    After the decision was made, the two engineering teams officially started infrastructure construction.

    And from now on, Xie Xingchen also issued an order, unless it is necessary to go out for work, the rest of the robot's range of activities should not leave the Chang'an workshop.

    Xie Xingchen gave this order not because he was afraid that these ordinary robots would see the weirdness of the system, but because Xie Xingchen was afraid that these ordinary robots would disturb the system's employment of robots!

    And there is another very important point - there will be thick fog when the system robot is working!

    Therefore, except for the system robots, other people or ordinary robots will be affected by the dense fog. If they work in the fog whose visibility is so low that they can almost be said to be invisible, the efficiency will not be much higher.Why don't you just give everyone a holiday!

    Of course, it is impossible to have all holidays. Those robots purchased from the system or rewarded by the system were released by Xie Xingchen to the daily activity venue to do simple fertilization, watering and other tasks.

    Until the third day, after Xie Xingchen paid all the fees, the robots also completed the construction of all the roads around the flower field.

    The constructed flower fields are in the shape of countless "fields".

    The "Tian" character central intersection is a wide road, which is big enough for several cars to drive side by side, and the surrounding roads are slightly smaller, but they are also wide two-way streets.

    As for the places where flower fields meet, some are normal roads, while others are "cobblestone roads" paved with the latest materials from the Star Alliance.

    This path is both aesthetic and practical.

    First of all, these "pebbles" are not sticky, they are a material with certain elasticity, and they even have anti-skid effect, so you will feel very comfortable when stepping on them.

    Secondly, these "pebbles" also have the function of water storage. When the rain touches the water source, these "pebbles" will store part of the rainwater in their bodies. When the temperature rises, the water in their bodies will be spit out and sprinkled on the road.Cool down!

    When Xie Xingchen found out that Interstellar actually had such a "wonderful" material, he was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he immediately asked to increase the scope of use of this material as much as possible.

    However, because this material has a certain load-bearing upper limit, it cannot be used on the road and can only be used on the small road.

    In addition, what surprised Xie Xingchen the most was the valley hidden in the treasure mountain located in Qiong Dao.

    This place was also scanned in by the system, and because the ancient valley was beautiful, engineer Fang Fang built a small house here with surplus building materials.

    The river is trickling, the butterflies are fluttering, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the flowers are in full bloom... This place is like a paradise.

    There is no hustle and bustle here, only the beauty and nature of nature.

    When Xie Xingchen saw it, he was immediately fascinated!

    It is obvious that a simple and simple house was artificially added here. It is obvious that a well was drilled in that house, a wall was planted with flowers, and a shed for fruits and vegetables was built, but it made this quiet and uninhabited placeThe valley suddenly became popular.

    Xie Xingchen couldn't help running over to live there for two days.

    The leisurely feeling of sitting and watching Yunqi and Yunshu made his heart slowly settle down during this period of time.

    On this day, Xie Xingchen brewed a pot of strong tea and sat on the recliner as usual.

    His reclining chair was facing the open courtyard door, and Xie Xingchen could see fluttering butterflies, busy bees, and all kinds of flowers and plants moving with the wind.

    Taking a sip of tea to take a look at the scene, when Xie Xingchen refilled himself with a cup of strong tea, he suddenly froze.

    I saw a gust of cold wind blowing from a distance, wintersweet plums in the corner of the wall fell one after another, and the moment the dark fragrance hit, the red plum petals were taken away.

    But what surprised Xie Xingchen was not the plum blossom petals, but the flowers that came along with the cold wind.

    The flower is small, consisting of five petals, whitish in color, and the calyx is rust-colored and covered with down.

    If Xie Xingchen remembers correctly, this should be... loquat flower?
