I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

When the video fast-forwarded to week 14, some of the tomato fruits on plant A fell off, and those that remained began to rot.

Plant B is still growing well, with no fruit falling off or rotting, and the tomatoes on it are even continuing to grow.

Xie Luan pressed pause.

"At this point, it can be basically determined that plant B is a mutated plant, because it has violated the normal growth cycle of the plant."

Continuing to play the video, after a round of flowering and fruiting, plant A begins to show signs of aging, with its stems becoming woody.

At this point, it was no longer suitable to continue cultivating it. Even if it were to bear fruit again later, it wouldn't produce many fruits. Moreover, the tomato plant soon became sick, began to wither, and the entire plant wilted.

"Plants are living things. Depending on the variety, their life cycle is different, but they will all eventually go through a process of withering and aging."

But let's look at the mutated strain B.

It is still growing. After 36 weeks, which is a full few months, it is still growing well. It has not withered or become diseased. The tomatoes on it are getting bigger and bigger and they do not fall off. It seems that it is not time for them to be harvested yet, and they can continue to grow.

48 weeks, a year has passed, and it's still growing.

60 weeks, growing from the old...

At this point, the mutated tomato was already quite large, resembling a pomegranate. As the growth rate increased, plant B eventually grew to a height of 1.5 meters.

"Is this correct?"

That's definitely wrong.

"The height of dwarf tomato varieties is about 30 centimeters, but this dwarf tomato plant has grown into a small tree."

"The foreign element completely altered the genetic makeup of plants, resulting in a generally longer maturation period and larger plants..."

"And during its two-year growth period, it did not wither even when it encountered frost. This is why many mutant plants can still grow unscrupulously even in winter."

"Because they are very strong, they are not only disease-resistant, but also drought-resistant and cold-resistant. If plants were this easy to grow before the apocalypse, I would be very happy. But unfortunately, while the mutant plants have become genetically superior, they also produce toxins inside and are inedible."

"Growing a normal, edible tomato plant without anti-mutation seeds is very difficult. You need to plant many seeds to get a single normal tomato plant, and the key is that you don't know which seeds will mutate during growth..."

Is this a pumpkin that you can eat?

[@JiangLi: Are you kidding me? The link to the [Extinct Crops Catalogue]—have you seen that catalogue published on the Agricultural Research Institute's website? Pumpkins are on it. It's impossible to buy edible pumpkins anymore; major farms can't grow them. Where did you get them from?]

[Jiang Li: I grew them myself.]

Many people thought she was a fraud, so Jiang Li directly asked Jiang Yan to film a video for her. She tested the giant pumpkin, and the testing device showed green lights throughout the test.

She posted the video.

Click count: 190.

More than a hundred people watched her video instantly.

Someone messaged her privately: "How do we make the deal?"

[Jiang Li: Give me an address, I'll deliver to your door, payment in person.]

【Row. 】

The other party readily sent an address.

After finishing her class, Xie Luan returned to the lounge, drank a glass of water, opened the forum, and saw a very popular post with the hashtag #AgriculturalProductTrading#.

Upon clicking, I found that someone was selling pumpkins.

The other party even filmed a video, claiming that they could conduct the transaction in person.

Xie Luan drank her water, lost in thought. Pumpkin? How did she grow it?

Speaking of which, she remembered something else. She had heard that someone was selling green peas at the agricultural products market a while ago, and many people claimed to have bought green peas.

[Xie Luan: Are the pumpkins still there? Bring them to the research institute for a face-to-face transaction.]

Jiang Li looked at him and realized that it was someone she knew.

She opened her contacts and read, "The pumpkins were grown by me, do you want to buy them?"

Xie Luan was taken aback when she saw the message that suddenly popped up.

Did you really grow these pumpkins? How did you do that?

Jiang Li: [Using a supernatural species.]

You can't exactly say you planted it using seeds provided by the system.

Xie Luan: [! Why didn't you say so sooner? Do you know how valuable this research is?]

Jiang Li: [You didn't even ask me.]

Xie Luan: [Then bring the pumpkin over tomorrow.]

【it is good. 】

Eleven people messaged her privately and sent her their addresses, saying they wanted to buy her pumpkins.

One pumpkin is worth 3000 points, so 11 pumpkins would be 33000 points. Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the safe zone tomorrow to deliver them one by one. As long as I can make money, it's worth it no matter how hard it is.

Jiang Li finished organizing the list of pumpkin orders when Lin An came in from outside.

"Could you ask your Captain Lu for me how many permanent residents there are in the field area?"

Lin An: "No need to ask him, I know, 512 people."

With 512 people, that's at least 10,000 jin of grain a month.

"Did you know that a grain depot would be opened in the field area in the future?" Jiang Li asked again.

Lin An: "There is no news on this yet. Lu Mingjue said he originally wanted to report to his superiors about the inconvenience of buying grain in the fields. He asked me to come and ask you if you can reliably supply grain to the fields. If you can, then he won't report it and will let everyone buy from you in the future. Moreover, if you can solve the grain problem in the fields, the government's grain supply pressure will be reduced."

[Task: I have many rice paddies! Activated.]

[The world's inhabitants need to buy food, but there are no food stations in the fields. This is a golden opportunity! Please seize this chance to expand your rice paddy planting area to 5 acres to ensure a stable food supply for the fields. Reward for completing this task: 100 gold coins!]

[Task requirement: The paddy field area must reach 5 mu (approximately 0.33 hectares).

Current paddy field area: 0 mu.

How many gold coins can you steal?

100?

Jiang Li's eyes widened.

This is the first time I've heard of such a large amount of gold coins as a reward. In the past, she was only given one or two coins at a time, which was incredibly stingy. This time, she was actually willing to give 100 coins at once.

"Sure, of course!" Jiang Li readily agreed. "I'll prepare five acres of paddy fields overnight, and I guarantee the shop will have grain to sell!"

Lin An: "Then I'll go back and tell Lu Mingjue."

After Lin An left, Jiang Li quickly opened the vehicle shop and clicked on "My Vehicles".

[The Farmer's Tractor: This tractor is meticulously designed for distinguished farmers. You can freely modify and change its color by clicking on the 3D design panel.]

Wow, that's so high-class!

It can even be customized and recolored!

There's no need to change the color; red is fine, such a simple and unpretentious color.

The modification is indeed necessary, because the current tractor is just a power vehicle and is not equipped with any farming equipment.

Clicking into the 3D image, Jiang Li saw the option for "Agricultural Accessory Add-ons".

Agricultural accessories can be added and recycled, with a recycling price of 80% of the addition price.

Accessory type:

[Rotary Tiller Attachment: When loaded, it can be used for rotary tillage operations, with a tillage efficiency of 50 acres/day]

[Seedling accessories: Once loaded, they can be used for large-scale seeding operations...]

[Harvesting Accessories]
