Shen Muyu didn't leave the newly renovated incubator idle; instead, he sprinkled a few watermelon seeds into it. These things grow quickly, and maybe he could eat them tonight.
The rice and other grains that were planted yesterday have already sprouted, and based on previous experience, they should be ripe in another day or two.
However, what pained Shen Muyu the most was that black tree seed. From yesterday until now, it had already "eaten" three yellow gems. If Shen Muyu hadn't been trading this thing, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with its consumption rate.
Fortunately, it has now fully recovered and is eating gems at a slower pace.
Although the land beneath their feet looked large, the radiation range of the plow mirror was not small, so in less than an hour, Little A completed the task and brought Shen Muyu back to the wooden house they had seen before.
"Dows, the plowing is finished." Shen Muyu didn't dare to enter the house rashly, so he stood outside and called out.
"That was pretty fast," Doyles said as he pushed open the door and came out.
"Sigh, if there weren't so few people left, how could we use such a large vehicle to plow the land?" Doyle looked at the land in front of him and patted Shen Muyu's car.
"Escapees, even if you don't care, try to get around on your own two feet or by bicycle as much as possible. It's a way of contributing to this planet," Doyle said slowly, a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Okay, Dors, I'll park it in the garage when I get home. After all, protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility." Shen Muyu continued, hoping to get some extra information. After all, the word "escapee" didn't sound good, and she didn't want to be arrested and locked up later.
"Yes, you're a good kid. As long as you haven't left, this planet will always be your home. It's always right to cherish it." Doyle nodded with satisfaction. A child who is willing to protect the environment is a good child.
"Come on, I'll take you to farm, and show you how hard this land works." After saying that, Doyle headed towards the land.
"Are you planting them yourself? You don't need the car this time?" Shen Muyu caught up and asked cautiously.
"Of course, every seed is very important. Machine operation is always crude and will waste the hard-won seeds and this land that we have so carefully nurtured," Doles said firmly, glancing back at Shen Muyu as if she were talking nonsense.
"Heh...hehe..." Shen Muyu chuckled bitterly, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to persuade Doles to give up the mission.
"Seeds… I have quite a lot of them. Would it be useful to take them out? But what if it backfires?" Shen Muyu was a little conflicted. Since the seeds were so precious, would Doles try to rob her if he saw them?
"Here you go. Only one seed can be placed in each hole, understand?" Doyle handed Shen Muyu a small, exquisitely crafted cloth bag.
"Oh, I see." Shen Muyu snapped out of her daze and took the bag, but she was stunned when she opened it and found shriveled seeds inside.
"Can such withered seeds survive if planted?" Shen Muyu blurted out.
"I don't know, let's just see how many survive. There are no original seeds left, it's good enough that there are any left at all," Doles said, squatting down.
Then something even more shocking happened to Shen Muyu: Doles' left arm suddenly flipped and turned from a mechanical hand into a miniature hoe.
"My God, it seems this isn't just a technological world anymore, it's like the God of Change has come to life." Shen Muyu muttered to himself, but still took out a few rice seeds from his backpack and handed them to Doles.
"What do you think of this rice variety?" Shen Muyu decided to take a gamble. She couldn't just waste all her time here; she wanted to go back.
"Stop playing around and get on with the planting." Although Doyle was impatient, he still looked up as he spoke.
"Primitive rice seeds!" Seeing the plump rice seeds in Shen Muyu's palm, Doles suddenly jumped up excitedly and reached out to take them. However, he seemed to have forgotten that what he had now was not a mechanical hand, but a hoe!
Shen Muyu was so frightened that she took several steps back.
"Hands, hands, hands!" Seeing that Doles was about to pounce on him, Shen Muyu quickly shouted loudly.
"Oh, I forgot." Doles quickly stopped, flipped the mechanical arm back to its original position.
"Don't run away, I don't mean any harm. Let me see the rice seeds. Be careful not to break them." Doles unconsciously raised his voice, coaxing Shen Muyu across from him like a child.
"Don't get agitated!" Shen Muyu slowly approached him only after he calmed down.
Carefully receiving the rice seeds from Shen Muyu, Doles's originally serious face instantly lit up like a chrysanthemum.
"This is truly primitive rice! With it, I'm sure I can cultivate even higher yields of grain! Hahaha!" Doyle clenched his fists and began to roar to the sky, tears even welling up in his eyes from laughing.
"Kid, do you have any more of these seeds? Don't worry, I won't take them for nothing. This can be used for exchange, and I'll give you the key directly as well." Having finally stopped, Doyle looked intently at Shen Muyu. The more seeds the better, of course, since experiments involve losses, and he was anxious if he didn't have enough.
As he spoke, a pair of glasses-like objects appeared in his hand.
After scanning it, Shen Muyu took it and put it on her glasses without Doles stopping her.
Shen Muyu looked at Doles through his glasses, and saw the words "excitement" and "longing" appear in the center of his glasses.
Having roughly assessed the effect, Shen Muyu took off her glasses and put them in her backpack. To be honest, she was afraid that Doles would change his mind.
"Here you go." Shen Muyu handed a small bag of rice seeds to Doles.
She had deliberately saved extra seeds beforehand, just in case something went wrong during the planting process. Now she's made a killing.
Doyle took the bag, opened it, and checked it over. Seeing that everything was fine, he quickly put it away, afraid that Shen Muyu might change her mind!
"Hehe, here, this is the key you need. Hurry up and go, I have to get to work." Doles handed Shen Muyu a golden key and then jogged back to the small house.
However, before going inside, he seemed to remember something and turned around to call out to Shen Muyu.
"Be careful to protect the environment! The people in town aren't as easy to talk to as I am, especially since you're an escapee." With that, Doyle quickly closed the door.
