Summoner, He is Never Alone
Chapter 372
Flowers are the late blooming varieties on the farm, and all the crops planted before that are food ingredients. After all the ingredients at level 10 are unlocked, the system mall will open the flower planting qualifications, and NPCs will also sell flower seeds to players.
However, the planting of flowers is not as fast as the money for food. Most ingredients can be grown in a few hours, but flowers are counted in days. Flowers from one to tenth grade take one to ten days to grow.
Fortunately, although the growth is slow, the price can be high. Even the cheapest flowers, on average, cost a lot more than the tenth grade ingredients.
Moreover, the long planting cycle of flowers is not entirely a disadvantage. At least this way, you don't need to sow repeatedly, as long as you sow once a few days. Although the home system has been open for more than two months, it is time to buy robots and hire NPCs. All arrangements have been made properly. Players do not need to do planting and maintenance, but it can save a little trouble.
The robots required for flower planting are different from those for food planting, and the price is more expensive. Fortunately, all flowers use the same kind of robot, regardless of whether they are level 1 or level 10, but taking care of advanced flowers requires more energy, so the investment in this aspect is not very large.
Ye Xu didn't plant flowers before, mainly because it was too troublesome to replace the robot. The robot at hand is bought at the market price. If you replace it, you need to buy a new one. However, the recycling price of the old robot is not high, and you will lose a lot of money.
Before the ingredients were replaced by robots, it was okay. It doesn't cost much to replace a low-level robot with a high-level robot, just pay a handling fee. But there is no such discount for the food robot to replace the flower robot, and Ye Xu has not made it.
Sister Xuan simply gave him an idea: "Now that cross-village transactions have been opened, you can sell robots you don't need to other players at a discount in exchange for spar."
The system recycling only gives half the original price, but selling it to other players is different. New players entered the game one after another, and many of them also wanted to buy robots. Ye Xu simply sold them at a 10% discount. Although he still lost some money, it was still better than half price.
She felt that in the later stage of the development of the farm, the robot must be replaced, and she could not grow ingredients for a lifetime. Change early, good morning, who knows what new features will appear in this home system, one step behind others, and more will fall behind in the future.
Ye Xu thought about it and thought it made sense, so he entered his home and opened the cross-village trading interface. Sure enough, many people bought second-hand robots, and the price was only one to one-half lower than the market price given by the system.
In fact, the robot will wear out after a long time, and the low price of second-hand goods is also excusable. Even if he could spend money to repair it, it couldn't be repaired to a brand-new level. Considering that his robot had been in use for more than two months, Ye Xu was embarrassed to choose those who made high bids to trade, and finally sold it at 90% of the original price. .
The system deducts a portion of the amount as shipping, but the item is actually delivered directly. Ye Xu was speechless about this shipping design. For the sake of not much money, he was too lazy to care.
After getting the money and emptying out the ingredients on the farm, Ye Xu started to buy flower robots. However, when purchasing, the system prompted him to choose to transform the farm to make it more suitable for growing flowers.
The growth environment required for flowers and crops is definitely different. In reality, it is troublesome to transform, but in the game it is very simple, and it can be done with magical potions. Of course, there is no need to transform them, but the quality of the flowers grown in this way will be relatively poor, which will affect the price.
Yes, the selling price of flowers is not fixed. When planting ingredients, the price is fixed, and the ingredients grown are all the same, without ups and downs. But the flowers are different, even if they are all daisies of level 1, the selling prices are not the same.
If you want to improve the quality of flowers, it is not enough to start from one side. Not only do you need to improve the soil, use specialized flower robots, properly fertilize, and ideally control the weather and temperature, etc. So if you want to cultivate Kao, the initial investment will be quite huge.
Ye Xu's worst thing right now is money. Since he has to do it, he will do his best. So he waved his hand directly and completed the pre-transformation first.
Because it was troublesome, he did not come one by one, but chose to transform the gift package. The discount of this gift package is pitiful, but with just one-click fool operation, Ye Xu will willingly pay for him.
After the gift package is purchased, the system automatically transforms the farm. For things like pouring potions into the soil, he doesn't need to touch his hands, just stand by and watch.
Not to mention, the scene has a visual sense of a sci-fi fantasy movie. Because no one is operating, the scene changes automatically, as if an invisible hand is tossing everything.
Especially the external conditions of the farm, originally it was just an ordinary land surrounded by shrubs, at most a protective cover was added. Now after buying the transformation package, the bushes have also been removed, and the domes like greenhouses are quickly paved and integrated with the original protective cover.
The domes have a high-tech feel, as they can adjust their own transparency etc. If the sun is too intense, it will reduce transparency and block sunlight. And if it is cloudy, they will also actively emit simulated sunlight to provide enough light energy for flowers.
Ye Xu stood by and watched for a long time, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He found that there are pipes interspersed in the dome, which can simulate rain. Using this to solve problems such as irrigation and spraying, there are very few things that the robot needs to do. Just check the health of the flowers frequently and deal with them in time.
High-tech is really easy to use, and it's worth the money.
The remodel was quick and it was all set in minutes. Everything is ready now, only the seed is left.
There are seeds and flower seedlings for sale in the system mall. Flower seedlings are more expensive, but the survival rate is higher. But Ye Xu didn't buy anything in the system mall. He came to plant flowers because he was caught by the rare flower cake painted by Sister Xuan, and he was not very interested in ordinary flowers.
So he made the housekeeper robot and the flower robot data docking, and went to the NPC flower shop to buy seeds at any time as needed. At present, Ye Xu has 20 flower beds. He feels that it is not enough. This number may not be enough to meet rare flowers, so he opened 30 flower beds with more money, and spent all the spar in hand.
Fortunately, not long after the home system was opened, they figured out a way to leapfrog and grow 10-level ingredients, and they have been growing the highest-level ingredients ever since. This thing is very expensive, and he saved a lot of gold coins for Ye Xu. Otherwise, the price of every 10 yuan farm in the home system will increase tenfold, and he can't afford so many new farms.
Originally, Ye Xu wanted to collect 100 flower beds, but after buying the 50th one, he almost ran out of money, and he borrowed a little from Sister Xuan. Otherwise, the newly bought flowerbed has no money to decorate, and the seeds cannot be bought, so they can only stare blankly.
"The upgrade requirements for flowers are relatively strict, and you can't take advantage of loopholes." Sister Xuan told him, "so you must honestly start planting from the first level. After all 100 first-level flowers have been planted, the second-level flowers can be planted. All the second-level flowers can be planted. After 1,000 plants are produced, three levels can be planted, and so on."
Planting 100 plants and planting 100 plants are two concepts, so take into account the loss. Ye Xu had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to buy all 150 first-class seeds first, and then plant 100 of each type first, and replant if there are any failures in the middle of the planting.
In this way, 200 different first-class flowers can be planted at one time, and there are almost as many first-class flowers, which can be done in one round.
"Why is an orchid also a first-class?" Ye Xu felt that something was wrong when he saw that many famous varieties were also in the first-class.
Jiang Yuexuan has already grown to level 3, so she is not surprised to hear that: "Because the flowers at level 1 are ordinary flowers, and the flowers at level 2 are rare flowers in the magical world. And they are flowers, rather than medicinal materials that can bloom, which can be sold to Players who have learned medicine are used to make magic potions."
Ye Xu didn't expect this to be the reason, so after the farm was opened to the advanced level, did it directly and stably provide medicinal grassland materials to Xihuan? No wonder there are so few herbs in the wild, and even low-level potions are not cheap. If it weren't for the unlimited supply of low-priced potions in the system store, I'm afraid the price of potions could be multiplied many times.
Now that the farm provides raw materials, he suspects that the potion in the system store will slowly reduce the stock. Because there is no need for the store to cover the bottom line for the player, the player can be self-sufficient and can also pull down the price of the potion by the way.
"Some magical flowers are used as medicine with roots, stems and leaves. It doesn't matter. The whole flowers can be picked and sold as by-products such as dried flowers. However, some flowers are medicinal materials themselves, or they need to be used as medicinal materials after the flowers fade. Fa sells flowers." Sister Xuan reminded him.
Ye Xu immediately understood: "So it is better to choose leaves as medicine, so that you can sell both flowers and leaves. And you only need to pay attention when picking leaves and flowers, don't pick too many, it will not affect the growth of the plant, and you don't need to re-sow already."
There are also these types of high-grade ingredients. After they grow, they will bear fruit every once in a while, and there is no need to repeatedly sow seeds. However, these types generally have a lifespan limit, and as a result, they will wither and die after a few times.
Magic flowers should be better, after all, they are magical creatures with tenacious vitality. And the result is different from growing leaves. The result is like a human being pregnant and giving birth to a child, which is more harmful to the mother, while growing leaves is like growing hair, and the nutrition is enough to grow continuously.
When you grow this plant, you just need to control not giving it a chance to bear fruit, and it will retain its vitality, live longer, and grow more leaves. It is not easy to cultivate a flower of good quality. Newly grown flowers have to be invested in new costs, and the results are not necessarily ideal, so try not to kill them if you can.
Unexpectedly, there are so many doorways here, Ye Xu was very emotional after hearing this.
"Whether it's ordinary flowers or magic flowers, there are rare flowers. My suggestion is to plant more advanced ones. The more advanced the rare flowers appear, the more valuable they are. Anyway, you just keep improving your level. It's not too much trouble, just talk to the housekeeper. When the robot gives the order, it will arrange it.”
Ye Xu took it seriously: "I think so too."
But after all, rare flowers are still a few, and they can't get them to decorate his house for the time being. Ye Xu walked around in the flowerbed where the seeds had just been planted, feeling that there was nothing to see, and then turned to the pasture next door.
The farm can be upgraded to a flowerbed, but what about the ranch? Upgrade to a Warcraft farm? But monsters are not as rare as magic flowers, and no one seems to buy their meat to eat, right? After all, wild mobs are everywhere.
