Special soil?
Qin Lin got this tip and looked at the bag icon containing gray-black soil in the backpack column in surprise.
He almost forgot about it.
When he bought Olive Town stockings on TV before, he went to the forum to look for related posts and read some interesting posts.
There seems to be a mine in those posts where a special kind of soil can be dug.
At that time, his attention was all on the stockings, and he didn't pay much attention to reading this post. After all, he could only enter the third floor of the mine. Who knew that special soil could be dug on the fourth floor of the mine?
In the new version, special soil is also a special prop that can transform the properties of a land over a period of time.
Moreover, there is more than one type of special soil. I remember that a Gandi player posted a post on the official forum saying that he had obtained two special soils.
One is soil that can make crops stink. After using this soil to transform the properties of the land, the crops grown on it will smell bad and the price will drop sharply.
One is soil that can make crops sweeter, that is, after changing the properties of the land, the crops grown will be sweeter and sell for a higher price.
The effect of these special soils on changing the properties of the land is not permanent, and the effects will be exhausted after planting crops several times.
Naturally, these are only the functions of two special soils. There are also special soils in the game that can accelerate the growth of crops and soils for cultivating new varieties.
This kind of soil is quite precious.
Qin Lin was curious about the properties of the soil he dug.
"What are you thinking about in a daze?" Zhao Moqing washed up and put on her pajamas.
Qin Lin came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Moqing with an LSP look: "I'm thinking of ways to get Wangcai and Chimao out."
When Zhao Moqing heard this, her face was full of embarrassment: "Can't you just be honest these two days? It's up to you when you go back."
"Then what you said, I'll be honest here, and you can do whatever you want with me when I go back." Qin Lin said, reaching for Zhao Moqing's lips with his finger.
Zhao Moqing understood and said fiercely: "I'll bite you off!"
"I don't believe you are willing to let it go." Qin Lin smiled proudly.
Although she and Zhao Moqing were an old couple, there were some tricks between husband and wife that Zhao Moqing still resisted.
Therefore, when it is time to seize the opportunity, you should seize it firmly. After all, that is the benefit that a husband should enjoy.
Seeing Qin Lin's proud look, Zhao Moqing became more and more embarrassed and simply ignored him. She got into bed and took out her mobile phone to watch the official video of the villa.
"The Sword Comes"
This is also one of her daily tasks. Comments on official videos can sometimes let her know where the villa is lacking.
"I'll go out and get something." Qin Lin also took the opportunity to leave the room.
Naturally, he wanted to enter the game to check the information about this special soil.
There were no electric lights in many places in the old house, and there were many hidden places. Qin Lin randomly found a place to look at the light screen in his mind. After controlling the game character to return to the ranch, he entered the game and saw the bag of soil.
In the real world, this bag of soil is quite a lot. It is filled with a 50-pound sack.
[Special soil: special props! 】
[This is a kind of special soil buried deep underground. The special elements it contains have special effects. After transforming the properties of the land, before the special elements are consumed, it can increase the crop survival rate of the land by +2 and the chance of genetic improvement by +2. 1. 】
Qin Lin saw the remark information about the special soil.
The "special props" mentioned in this special soil are different from the "mysterious props" mentioned in the sound of tree singing.
The remark is different, and the classification of this prop is obviously different.
Qin Lin didn't pay attention to this for the time being, but looked at the attribute effects of this special soil. It was not the ones mentioned on the forum, but the attributes of survival rate +2 and gene improvement probability +1.
This made him subconsciously think of Xiangshui Gongmi seeds.
He has been experimenting with planting Xiangshui Gongmi seeds, but has never been successful. The biggest reason is that Xiangshui Gongmi seeds are extremely harsh on the growing environment. Except for the Xiangshui area, they cannot be grown anywhere else.
The ultimate reason is that the environment does not meet the requirements and the survival rate is low.
If there is this +2 survival rate, then the survival rate of cultivating Xiangshui Gongmi seeds should be greatly increased, right?
What's more, this soil also has a +1 chance of genetic improvement. The chance of Xiangshui Gongmi adapting to environmental changes should also be related to genetic changes, right?
Qin Lin suddenly felt eager to try.
In the game, you can use special soil to transform the land with just one click. In reality, you should transform it yourself by fertilizing the land.
But it was late at night and there was nothing he could do, so he had to go back to his room and talk about it tomorrow.
After getting into bed, he continued to watch the game on the light curtain in his mind, and controlled the game character to go to the Mine of the Spring to mine again, and started digging on the fourth floor of the mine.
This time it didn’t take long before I got something again:
[Congratulations on getting a piece of blue and white jadeite ore: quality 2]
[This is a special piece of jadeite ore that can be sold in the game for gold coins, or you can find Saibala in the jewelry store to forge jewelry. 】
Naturally, this thing was kept for Zhao Moqing to make jewelry.
Continue to control the game character mining.
[Congratulations on getting a piece of blood jade ore: quality 1]
…
[Congratulations on getting a piece of violet extraordinary ore: quality 1]
The harvest at level 4 is obviously good.
Qin Lin excavated the entire 4th floor clearing area and obtained another piece of blood jade ore and violet ore.
Moreover, after continuing to dig in the broken stone area, he broke a few stones and harvested another piece of quality 2 yellow jade.
Not to mention the harvest from the special soil, the 4 pieces of jadeite excavated tonight alone can be used to create 4 pieces of jewelry for Zhao Moqing.
When Qin Lin controlled the game character and was about to crush and excavate all the stone areas, he gained something again.
[Congratulations on digging for special soil]
Qin Lin looked at it immediately and saw that the backpack icon was another bag containing gray-black soil. This was also soil with a survival rate of +2 and a chance of improving genes by +1.
I had really good luck today and gained a lot.
Qin Lin continued to control the game character to smash the stones and dig, but there was no gain until the entrance to the fifth floor appeared.
He tried to control the game character to enter the fifth floor, but was surprised to find that this time the game character was not restricted and entered the fifth floor directly.
This upgrade not only opens up the 4th floor, but also opens up the 5th floor. Isn’t it like the previous upgrade that opened up the first floor?
But think about it, the Mine of the Spring has 255 floors. It can’t possibly take 255 upgrades before it’s fully open, right?
The further you go, the more levels you can open by upgrading.
Qin Lin controlled the game character to enter the fifth floor of the mine. Just as he was about to continue digging, he found the game character lying on the ground with his whole body turned purple.
This is a long time of digging, and the game character is exhausted.
He had to control the game character to go back to the ranch house to rest.
Zhao Moqing was tired of watching videos at this time. She put down her phone and hooked her fair arms around his neck: "Turn off the lights and sleep?"
Qin Lin had no choice but to come to his senses and asked: "What are you really not going to do at night?"
"Be honest tonight, we agreed." Zhao Moqing obviously didn't want to give in at all.
Hearing this, Qin Lin looked at Zhao Moqing's sexy lips and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, as promised, I'm waiting to enjoy your service."
Zhao Mo said angrily, "Turn off the lights quickly."
After a moment, the room became dark.
The next day, when the two got up, Lin Fen was already cooking in the kitchen with wood, and Qin Ren's family was also busy.
Today the two families have to be busy with their own affairs, each preparing sacrificial supplies. The candle lanterns and red stickers for the Kitchen God must be prepared, as well as the candle lanterns and red stickers for the God of Wealth, the Door God, and the Earth God.
On the night of New Year's Eve, candles were lit all night long, with long red strips of paper cut underneath.
In addition, it is naturally a sacrifice, which is also the most important thing.
In fact, Qin Lin has had a doubt since he was a child, and that is that everyone sacrifices, whether it is the kitchen god, the door god, or the earth god, and finally the ancestral temple uses a portion of the sacrifice.
This means that after the Kitchen God eats, the God of Wealth eats, and the God of Wealth eats, the God of Earth eats, and each one takes turns eating. How much saliva does this require?
If you were a human being, if you give something that one person has eaten to another person, then that person wouldn’t be willing to eat it, right? Not to mention God.
Is this really asking for God’s blessing? Or are you provoking God?
But think about it, there is no God.
Nowadays, the New Year sacrifices in society are almost reduced to rituals, and they are almost no different from those festive festivals.
After all, firecrackers can only be replaced by stepping on balloons. In many places, even candles and incense are powered by electricity. Even the sacrifices used in some places are made of plastic molds.
Sometimes the people you bring home can be rented.
I don’t know why our country’s biggest festival has become like this. It has no New Year flavor at all.
Qin Lin sometimes misses the Spring Festival when he was a child. The smell of firecrackers, fragrance, candles, delicious food...the intertwined smells and the human touch of family reunion are the flavor of the New Year.
Qin Lin watched his mother busy with Zhao Moqing, and pretended to say: "Mom, Moqing, I'm going to go for a walk."
Lin Fen nodded and said, "Go ahead, just leave these matters to me and Mo Qing."
Qin Lin then went out, took the tool room with him, found a hoe that had not been used for who knows how many years, and was already a little rusty, and then walked towards the trail on the mountain behind.
Although no one in the village is farming anymore, every household’s private farmland is still there.
The Qinlin family's private farmland is located on this mountain, passing through a long path and climbing to the mountainside behind.
He originally had a plan to find an old field in his hometown and transform it when he could get special soil or special fertilizer in the game.
At that time, if someone who is ignorant of the world insists on asking where the things in those games come from, he will push everything to this old field.
If someone really comes to steal some soil and study it, it can prove it to him.
Soil with a survival rate of +2 and a genetic improvement probability of +1 is placed in an old field. As long as no crops are planted on the old field, the special elements will always exist and will not be consumed according to the system notes.
It took Qin Lin a long time to reach his own field, walked to the small patch in the corner, and then used a hoe to deal with some weeds in the old field.
After taking some time, he looked around cautiously, then entered the game and brought out a bag of special soil.
He used half a bag of special soil, sprinkled it evenly on the old field, and then stirred it evenly.
This may be a bit wasteful.
But he is a cautious person and would be wise to take more precautions.
Moreover, you can dig two bags of this special soil on the 4th floor of the Spring Mine, and you can definitely dig it again later, so it doesn’t matter if you waste some.
After finishing everything, he entered the game again, brought out another bag of soil and some Xiangshui tribute rice seeds, and then returned to his old house with the bag of semi-special soil.
He wanted to bring the soil back to the villa in an open and honest manner.
When Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing saw Qin Lin coming back with two bags of soil, they both looked at him in shock.
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing? Digging dirt on the mountain?"
"What are you doing? Are you covered in mud?"
Qin Lin couldn't explain it, so he could only make it up: "I went to look at the Ziliu field today and found that the soil next to an old field was very different. The grass grew very dense and strong, so I dug some and came back to have a look. "
"Some of the rice seeds I got before were never successfully cultivated, and I wanted to try using this soil."
Lin Fen shook his head and said, "You, you are still messing around during the Chinese New Year."
"Do you want help?" Zhao Moqing asked.
She knew that her husband must have a purpose for doing this. After all, wasn't he the one who created many things in the villa?
Qin Lin nodded and ordered to Zhao Moqing: "Help me find a small bowl and pour water and medicinal solution into it. I want to soak the seeds. Ask Uncle Shui Gen for the medicinal solution. He should have it."
Naturally, he wanted to soak and disinfect the Xiangshui tribute rice, and then accelerate the germination.
Normal rice seed germination has extremely high requirements on ambient temperature, but the Xiangshui Gongmi seeds produced in this game are not affected by season and temperature, so there is no need to control the temperature too much.
"Yeah!" Zhao Moqing nodded and entered the kitchen to get ready.
After Qin Lin put down two bags of special soil, he took a hoe and a bucket to the back of the old house to dig soil, poured water, and finally poured in some special soil from the game and stirred it evenly to simulate an artificial field.
When he was done, Zhao Moqing had already prepared water and a bowl for him. He also took out the Xiangshui Gongmi seeds and soaked the seeds to disinfect them.
It can be planted in 6 hours.
In the afternoon, it was time for soaking. Qin Lin directly took out the Xiangshui rice seeds and planted them into the bucket of soil.
Under normal circumstances, rice seeds can germinate in 2-4 days.
The rest of the time is just waiting.
In the evening, during the New Year's Eve vigil, every household in the village was lit up, and Qin Lin and Qin Ren's families also gathered together.
After dinner, Qin Lin and Zhao Moqing were dragged by Qin Ren to play cards. It was a regular four-person bomb game, with him and Zhao Moqing on one side and Qin Ren and Liao Li on the other, which was equivalent to a 2 versus 2 couple game.
Next to him, his mother and Aunt Shuigen were chatting, praising each other's daughter-in-law, watching the Spring Festival Gala with smiles on their faces, and then they complained that the Spring Festival Gala was not as good as before.
The two families waited until 12 o'clock and had supper before going back to their rooms to rest.
The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year. After a series of sacrifices, it is also the time when every household in the village gathers together to chat with each other.
This year, when Qin Lin took Lao Ma and Zhao Moqing to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices, he could clearly feel the difference from the past.
There are many looks of envy and jealousy.
What is very realistic is that there are people who have made sarcastic remarks about their family and come up to say hello warmly, as if nothing happened before.
It's a pity that he has no other abilities, and his ability to keep accounts is still unambiguous. On the surface, he can laugh with each other, but in his heart, this kind of person is a piece of shit.
However, most of the people were somewhat cheeky and would not come to say hello without a point, which made him not respond so disgustingly with a fake smile.
After the sacrifices on New Year's Day were completed, the villagers who hurried back all the way had to leave the village in a hurry. The originally lively village became quiet again.
It was already afternoon after Qin Lin and Qin Ren finished their sacrifices, and naturally they planned to go back to Youcheng.
Qin Lin put the special soil from the game in the trunk of the car, and when he went to take out the bucket for planting Xiangshui rice seeds, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
So fast?
