Chapter 6: Harvest Time! Another Silver-grade Item!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fortunately, each person only had one speaker per day. Ignoring the messages, he looked at the four crops.

The fallen ginseng flower and honey fruit had already ripened.

Their appearance didn’t change much, except for the size.

The more valuable snake grass would need another five minutes. The color of the leaves on the vines had become darker, and there was even a trace of black at the tip. The leaves had become more slender.

The flame branch still needed fifteen minutes. Three pink flower buds had already grown on the top of the bush. Just as the system described, it looked like a torch without the flame.

Li Zheng had deliberately left some time between the fertilizing so that he wouldn’t miss it when the flame branch bloomed.

After all, the other three crops didn’t have an expiration date after maturity.

“I’ll collect the fallen ginseng flowers and honey fruits first. I reckon it’ll be just in time for the snake grass to ripen and the flame flower to bloom.”

Without further ado, Li Zheng reached out and grabbed the fallen ginseng flower. With a little tug, the flower fell off on its own.

[Genetically-modified fallen ginseng flower: black iron grade, food ingredient.]

[It has high nutritional value and can be used to make nutrient solutions.]

As soon as he touched the ginseng flower, he smelled the faint scent of milk.

“It smells so good!”

Li Zheng’s eyes lit up, and stuffed one into his mouth. He bit into it, and the flower bud burst open. The rich aroma of milk filled his mouth.

(￣~￣)

After chewing a few times and licking off the juice that flowed down from the corner of his mouth, Li Zheng was satisfied.

“Tastes great! However, the system said that it is one of the ingredients for making nutrient solutions?”

He thought of the taste of the nutrient solution. It was so different compared to the taste of the fallen ginseng flower.

“The nutrient solution tasted like the urine of a diabetic patient!”

Li Zheng was disgusted.

Even if the ginseng flower’s nutritional value was greatly reduced when consumed raw, he still didn’t want to use it to make nutrient solutions.

He picked up the pace and harvested the ginseng flowers one by one, which Li Zheng then kept in his capsule.

Occasionally, he would feel hungry and couldn’t help but eat a few more flowers, and felt more energized.

Very quickly, all ten stalks of fallen ginseng flowers had been collected.

Subtracting those that Li Zheng ate during the process, he harvested a total of 126 flowers.

Next up was the genetically-modified honey fruit.

[Genetically-modified honey fruit: black iron grade, fruit/food ingredient.]

[It was delicious, sweet, and juicy. It can be used to make nutrient solutions or eaten raw.]

The ripe honey fruit was a little bigger, and there was a crack on the skin, revealing the white flesh inside.

There was a thick liquid with a honey-like texture between the flesh and the skin, giving off a very sweet taste.

Breaking open a honey fruit, Li Zheng’s hands were covered in sweet juice and pulp.

The white flesh of the fruit was similar to the flesh of a dragon fruit without seeds. It was fresh, tender, and juicy. Coated with the juice of the honey fruit itself, it was even more sweet and delicious, but not too sweet.

After eating a honey fruit, he took out a water bottle and poured out some to wash his hands.

The pulp immediately dissolved in water and was rinsed off.

“Why doesn’t this have any seeds?”

Li Zheng thought it was a pity.

If the honey fruits and ginseng flowers had seeds, he could collect some. After he obtained the blueprint of the cultivation dish, he might be able to plant some and improve his meals.

With a sigh, Li Zheng took out all 17 plants from the cultivation dish and put them into the capsule.

“Why are there no seeds? I’m almost out of space.”

Li Zheng shook his head in feigned regret.

[Obtained: genetically-modified honey fruit x43]

After collecting the fallen ginseng flowers and honey fruits, five minutes had already passed, and the snake grass had finally ripened.

There were five rolls of snake grass that covered the bottom of the incubator. Each of them was nearly ten meters long, and they were densely covered with fine hair.

After the snake grass had fully matured, the black color on the tip of the leaves became even more obvious. If one were to look at it carefully, it seemed to be shining.

Li Zheng did not immediately collect the snake grass.

When he looked at it, the detector showed a bold red word, “dangerous!”

This reminded him of something in the description, “toxicity unknown”.

It was obvious the snake plants were poisonous!

“It’s a pity that there’s no way to test the snake grass’ toxicity. However, I’ll keep them for now. Who knows, it might be of use in the future.”

Li Zheng found a metal stick from the debris on the ground and picked up a stalk of snake grass. He was about to put it into the capsule when the stalks fell back into the dish.

“Ah…”

Li Zheng was taken aback.

He didn’t expect this to happen.

However, this wasn’t a problem for him. He simply shook the remaining four snake grass and piled them together. Then, he took two glass fragments from the tank that he’d broken.

Using the glass fragments like a broom and dustpan, he soon collected the snake grass.

Just before the flame branch ripen, Li Zheng kept the last bud into the capsule.

[Obtained: snake grass buds x36987]

[Snake grass buds: bronze-grade]

[Leaves of mature snake grass that have been genetically-modified. Effects unknown.]

Although its effects were unknown, it was still a bronze-grade material. He could find a way to use it in the future.

After all this work, the flame branch was finally close to maturity.

Li Zheng stood in front of the cultivation dish, full of anticipation, counting the last bit of time.

Soon, the flame plant’s flower bud, which had gathered into a ball, slowly opened up. The slender petals extended backward, revealing the pistil in the center.

When it was fully ripe, the flower would become a flame with the pistil as the core of the flame.

It was a mini firework, magnificent and charming.

“It’s finally mature!”

He waited for more than two hours in total. The others had finished exploring ten rooms but Li Zheng was still in the second room.

However, he knew that it was all worth it.

Because…

[Flame flower: the flower of a flame branch that was genetically-modified. Silver-grade.]

[Effect: after consumption, there is a 2% chance of developing fire-type genes.]

[Attention! There is a 30% chance that it will cause damage to the consumer!]

[Attention! After picking the flame flower, it can only be stored for half an hour without a vessel.]

Even the ion lightsaber blueprint that Feng Shan had previously traded was only a silver-grade item.

A flower the size of a palm was silver-grade!

More importantly…

Three flame flowers were produced.

It was equivalent to getting three silver-grade items at once!

How powerful and valuable was a silver-grade material?

Take the ordinary detector as an example, an item that could show information about a room. It could allow the user to avoid dangers.

Wasn’t this powerful?

That’s powerful!

Was he not invincible?

However, it was only a silver-grade item!

Now, not only did he obtain three silver-grade flame flowers, but he could even obtain a flame branch seed after they withered!

That’s a seed that could produce silver-grade items!

This meant that Li Zheng would have a stable source of silver-grade items in the future!

Even if he had to wait for 20 hours, it would be worth it.

“It’s just that there’s a high risk of bad side effects. I’m not sure how much damage it might cause if I ate it…”

He thought about it and came up with a plan.

He plucked two flame flowers as quickly as he could and kept one as a seed. Li Zheng opened the chatroom, found someone’s profile, and sent a private message.

“Feng Shan, I would like to trade a silver-grade item for the lightsaber blueprint…”
