Water Lily: 25 Sunshine Beans

The great contemporary poet Olsen compared Jeter, an upright, honest, and diligent official, to a water lily. Since then, people have collectively referred to the spirit of diligence, simplicity, and selfless dedication as the "Water Lily Spirit". Therefore, Water Lily is widely loved by the general public. .

It can be said that water lilies are the cutest plants I have ever seen. They have a pair of dexterous small eyes and several green leaves.Not only do they purify lake water, but on top of the leaves you can grow other plants that can't live in water - really cute and kind plants.If you have a pond, plant some and you'll reap the benefits for absolutely great value.

Note: The growth cycle of water lilies is 20 days, and this link can be avoided by directly planting seedlings.After continuing to grow for 30 days, it will mature, and will grow lotus roots at the bottom of the water, which can be eaten, and it is the favorite of contracted beasts of the water system.After the maturity period, the lotus leaves above the water surface have a certain chance to grow several pieces.

It took about half a day for Liu Dingjia to clean up the fine stones and weeds on the lattice fields that could be planted. During this period, a large number of sunlight fell from the sky one after another. Liu Dingjia only had time to pick up *6*4 flowers and transform them into sunshine beans. There were more than a dozen flowers that were not picked up, and fell to the ground a few seconds later, scattered into light spots and disappeared.Liu Dingjia didn't worry too much about the disappearing sunlight. After all, there is too little sunlight falling from the sky. If he really wants to get rich, he has to start with plants and zombies.

It was nearly dusk when the four grid fields and pools were sorted out. After a short rest, Liu Dingjia turned back to the house on the right, where she bought seedlings and officially started her own farmer's life mode.

After re-reading "Dave's Encyclopedia", Liu Dingjia finally decided to buy ten water lilies (25 beans/plant), ten sunflowers (50 beans/tree), and two two-way pea shooters (125 beans/plant) , two corn shooters (100 beans/plant), a pair of gloves worth 50 copper coins, a total of 51 copper and 200 sunshine beans were spent.In addition, Liu Dingjia also hired a servant—a Bethel who could swim, a dwarf, and a third-class servant. The hire fee was only 10 fresh peas and 10 sunshine beans per day.According to the introduction in "Dave's Encyclopedia", those plants produce fruit 24 hours a day. Liu Dingjia thinks he is not an iron man and can stay up 24 hours a day, so it would be better to find a helper to take care of him.

And with no one to look after him, he was very worried that after he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he would unknowingly become the prey of zombies.

The Bertzel dwarf was teleported to Liu Dingjia through the teleportation array. He was really short as imagined, probably a little higher than Liu Dingjia's knee, but he looked like a very energetic guy.

"Hey, are you my new employer?" The dwarf looked up at Liu Dingjia, with a mischievous smile on his face, "Hello, I'm Hunter/Len/Emmasen, from the Bertzel tribe. I'm good at swimming and can A little carpentry—what about you? Who are you, can you swim? What can I do for you?"

"Cough, Liu Dingjia, human. I hired you because I have a small yard that can be planted. Now there is nothing in it, and I need to start from scratch..."

"Yes, I saw it, a 'small' yard." While Liu Dingjia was speaking, Hunter had quickly circled his house and ran back to Liu Dingjia. Not finished.

"Are you sure you need me?" The little man crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you are not a hardworking person, I have to state my position in advance - Bertzl doesn't like lazy guys at all .”

"Then are you going to leave in violation of the contract?" Liu Dingjia folded his arms around his chest like a dwarf, raised his eyebrows, and looked down at the other party, "I remember that the penalty for breach of contract is 1 silver coin, right?"

"You're insulting me by saying that. Berzel is the most trustworthy race on the entire continent. Even the tree elves in Kansandana can't get more praise in this regard than us." The dwarf seemed Angry, there is a hint of anger in his eyes, and his tone is even worse.

"That's why I chose a Botzel person to help me." Seeing that the other party had no intention of violating the agreement, Liu Dingjia said, "I want to plant some sunflowers and other crops, and I need someone to help watch the harvest at night. There is also something very dangerous here, and I don't want to be someone else's dinner in my sleep at all. I think that a hardworking and brave Bethel is very reliable and helpful to me now."

"It seems that you are not as bad as I thought." The expression on Hunter's face softened, "Then can you tell me what is the dangerous thing in your mouth? Maybe I have a way to deal with it them."

"Zombies—things that like to eat people. They were originally human beings, but something went wrong and they became living dead."

"Things that can eat people—could it be those corpses in the yard?" Although he was surprised when he saw the two corpses, but according to the famous saying of the dwarves—"No matter how obvious the result is, if you don't see People who are in the process must never make judgments lightly”, and temporarily put them aside.And now, it should be time for him to know the truth.

"Yes." Liu Dingjia nodded, "They attacked me, but luckily they didn't succeed."

"I think I know what those are - you're in luck, they're necromancer crap, but they're scary. My grandfather told stories about them, all from 60 years ago In the beginning, it was a terrible mutation and a great battle, and the greatest swordsman of Bertzel, Mai/Korkov/Loni, died in this battle."

The dwarf sighed and recalled the tragic past of the six major continents. Although he had not experienced it, he could still feel the tragedy and terror of that battle from his grandfather's narration, and the two in Liu Dingjia's yard " The condition of the "human" corpse was indeed consistent with Grandpa's description of the "rotting maggot spirit".

"However, it is recorded in all the documents that near the end of the undead war, the great mage Dapu Luo and his eleven apprentices worked together to kill these rotten maggots that can eat people—that is, the zombies you mentioned. All of them have been wiped out, but why do you have these rags here?" Hunter was very curious about what happened in the new employer's yard, things like maggots were obviously wiped out, right?

Liu Dingjia didn't know how to answer Hunter's question, so he could only shrug his shoulders and express that he didn't know anything, and couldn't give him an answer: "Maybe there are still a small group of fish that slipped through the net, and the feng shui of my house can just attract them." .”

"What is Feng Shui?" The dwarf asked quickly when he heard the term he didn't understand. The first rule of conduct for Bertzel people: If you encounter something you don't understand, you should ask questions bravely.

"It's the geographical location, the orientation and so on." Liu Dingjia simply explained to the dwarf Hunter.

"Strange noun." Hunter seemed dissatisfied with Liu Dingjia's explanation.For this, Liu Dingjia could only touch his nose. Chinese Taoism is too broad and profound, and he is confused about even the most basic theory. How can he explain it to others?

At this time, the two of them had come to the pool in the center of the yard.Hunter looked at the two corpses piled up not far from the pool, and offered his own suggestion: "You have to deal with them first, my grandpa told me that Big Puro had one of his fire magicians deal with those rotten maggots It is said that there is no way to purify them with holy magic, and this has always been a difficult mystery in the magic world."

"Of course it can't be purified." Liu Dingjia muttered in a low voice. Young people who have played "Resident Evil" have always believed that these zombies, which are similar to zombies, became living dead because humans were infected with viruses.However, he didn't tell Hunter what he thought, because he found that this Bertzel man was probably a short "one hundred thousand why", and he couldn't explain to him what "Resident Evil" was or what It was a virus, and he even suspected that Hunter had never even heard of the word "science".

"If we want to incinerate them, then we have to drag them out of the yard first. I don't want the place where I eat and sleep to be full of the smell of burning zombies." Liu Dingjia stepped forward and put the newly bought gloves on his hands. Go up, turn around and hand over the plant seedlings to Hunter: "Hunter, you plant these seedlings in the pond and the ground first - plant these sunflowers on the water lilies. I will go and put the corpses of the zombies first." After cremation, come back and help." Cremation is his little respect for these corpses that were once human.

Hunter heard Liu Dingjia's work arrangement, his eyes widened: "What nonsense, these water lily seedlings will have to live for at least ten days before they can be planted with other things. Of course, you can apply fertilizer to shorten this growth process."

"Are you sure?" Liu Dingjia looked at the water lily seedlings in Hunter's hand and asked incredulously, "Dave's "Encyclopedia" did not say that it takes such a long growth period. To be precise, the growth of these seedlings The long term should be completely over.

"But the water lily has to take root in the soil before it can have the strength to support the plants on it? And you see," Hunter picked up a water lily, pointing to the surface of the leaf, "the liquid in these tiny air sacs is exactly where the plant is planted. The nutrients needed by the plants on them, but you should see that these air sacs are not only small, but also the liquid inside is not much, even if the plants are planted, they will not survive for a long time."

Liu Dingjia nodded, very teachable: "It seems that things are more complicated than I imagined. I originally thought that if I plant these things, I can reap them immediately."

"Of course not. Planting is a science, not much easier than magic." Hunter shook his head and said.
