Post-apocalyptic game: I survive at sea by scavenging for trash.

Hearing the notification that the planting limit had been reached, Lin Zhaoyin was still not giving up. The original trees were planted on the secondary island, so why couldn't she plant them on the main island?

[This player's island has reached the planting limit for this crop and cannot continue planting.]

"Damn it!" Lin Zhaoyin was so angry she gritted her teeth. There were two of them, so why couldn't they plant another tree? This was just too unreasonable!

Fortunately, she had a backup plan; her sister didn't rush to buy land, otherwise Lin Zhaoyin's money for the land would have been wasted.

Lin Zhaoyin regretfully told Lin Wanyi about the test results, and then sent the land and seeds over together.

Although she was at a slight disadvantage, Lin Zhaoyin's plan should be ready to be implemented.

A short while later, Qin Feng's message also arrived.

"Kobayashi, the mangosteen seeds you gave me just sprouted. When I planted them, the item name was 'Magical Mangosteen Tree.' Is it a special item with special effects?"

Qin Feng immediately thought of the magical watermelon Lin Zhaoyin had given him last time; judging from the name, it seemed to be part of a series. Regardless of the tree's yield, it was a sustainable and renewable resource.

Qin Feng already didn't know what to give Lin Zhaoyin in exchange for the seeds, and now he was even more at a loss.

Lin Zhaoyin already needed Qin Feng's cooperation and assistance, and now that it was confirmed that the seeds could indeed germinate, she told Qin Feng about her plans.

"Uncle Qin, the mangosteen seeds I gave you can grow into magical mangosteens that increase defense by 1 point. Besides the watermelon you saw last time, I'm also sure that apples and peaches can be grown, and there might be other things later."

I know Uncle Qin's profession; you certainly hope that at least more players in our country, China, can survive, so I'd like to cooperate with you. I'm willing to provide these seeds, but I also need Uncle Qin's help in doing some things.

Qin Feng knew that his identity in the real world would give other players more trust, so this girl he had never met before was always willing to share her good things with him.

Qin Feng hadn't expected that this child was even kinder than he had imagined. She didn't hoard such a precious item; instead, she was willing to share it to benefit more of her fellow countrymen.

I'm very grateful for your contributions to the Chinese people, but you're different from me; I can't let you suffer losses.

Lin Zhaoyin certainly didn't intend to suffer a loss. She was willing to provide the seeds, but she couldn't just give them away for free. Things given away for free are too easily taken for granted, and might even cause other trouble.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoyin had already decided on the amount of compensation she wanted from the beginning.

Uncle Qin, I've already decided on my payment, but I'd like to share my thoughts with you first, and then we can discuss the payment.

The seeds must not be distributed in the early stages, which is why Lin Zhaoyin needs someone with influence like Qin Feng even more.

Lin Zhaoyin told Qin Feng that not all seeds can germinate; only the fruit from the mother tree on her side can produce seeds that can germinate.

Lin Zhaoyin wasn't actually sure about this, but she hoped it was true, so she told Qin Feng the same thing and asked him to tell the others as well.

Only in this way will players not think about secretly selling seeds for profit. Even if some people don't believe this, they wouldn't dare to gamble on what to do if the seeds they sell don't germinate.

However, Lin Zhaoyin didn't plan to let them keep the fruit pits and seeds; she would collect them regularly. Handing them in would earn them a fertilizer, reducing planting time.

Next, Qin Feng needed to find the first batch of trustworthy players, choosing from those he had already met. After all, he was the youngest Commander-in-Chief of China, and Lin Zhaoyin believed Qin Feng had the ability to judge people's character.

Finally, there's the issue of Lin Zhaoyin's reward. These seeds are a sustainable resource, and Lin Zhaoyin can't set a buyout price. So, Lin Zhaoyin's solution is that players who receive the seeds need to provide her with items crafted from the blueprints they obtained.

Not only should we provide the current blueprints, but we should also continue to provide them when we receive new blueprints in the future.

If it's a rare material, as long as Lin Zhaoyin can use it, she can provide the material herself.

This price is not a buyout, but rather a percentage of the player's earnings.

Furthermore, Lin Zhaoyin also established rules for other players to obtain new seeds. Only by submitting 10 items made from unique blueprints can a player obtain the next seed.

This will prevent some people from taking the seeds and then defaulting on their payment. Who would complain about having too much good stuff?

Qin Feng was utterly amazed after reading Lin Zhaoyin's complete plan. Indeed, young people's minds are sharp; while they can't possibly consider everything perfectly, coming up with something like this is already quite remarkable.

[Kobayashi, you're really amazing! I'll follow your plan and select the first batch of players. Which seed do you plan to release first?]

Right now is actually the perfect time for mangosteens; the weather is just right, and the seeds are available. However, Lin Zhaoyin isn't sure if it will be hot for a few more days and if they'll be too late to harvest.

[For now, I only have mangosteen samples. Uncle Qin, can you finalize your selection as soon as possible?]

Qin Feng naturally thought of this as well; as a tropical fruit, mangosteen might only sprout in this kind of weather.

I know some decent comrades, but I need to observe and confirm their identities.

[There's no need to challenge strength; I actually prefer to prioritize providing it to players with lower combat power, especially since the Mangosteen buff increases defense. Of course, luck is still the primary consideration.]

While it's satisfying to have the entire power ranking filled with Chinese players, it's the weaker players who need resources the most.

Qin Feng understood Lin Zhaoyin's idea and immediately got to work. He needed to first list out the people he trusted, and then screen them again—this was a huge undertaking.

Lin Zhaoyin also counted the remaining mangosteen seeds in her hand; there were 21 left.

The magical potted plant can only grow 4 mangosteens at a time, and each mangosteen has 6 segments. The mangosteen seeds in my hand are from the first mangosteens that opened up; the later ones were all thrown away by Lin Zhaoyin to make fertilizer.

If she can get mangosteens in the next couple of days, she'll have even more spare seeds.

For the sake of the continuation of the entire Huaxia Kingdom, Qin Feng took this matter very seriously, and gave Lin Zhaoyin a list of 20 people the following evening.

Following Lin Zhaoyin's instructions, Qin Feng continued to claim that the information was provided by an anonymous player.

Lin Zhaoyin realized more than once that it was a bit unfair of her to order around a commander-in-chief like this, but she still wanted to play it safe. Qin Feng was already a servant in China anyway, so what difference would it make if she had to do something more? Lin Zhaoyin didn't want to become the next Qin Feng.

These 20 players were all carefully selected by Qin Feng, and with his guarantee, everyone was willing to directly hand over items in exchange for seeds.

As Lin Zhaoyin distributed 20 mangosteen seeds, Qin Feng also sent over the supplies that everyone had handed in.

When Lin Zhaoyin clicked to collect attachments, she was almost overwhelmed by about a hundred items. It took Zhou Shiyun a lot of effort to finally dig her out.
