Kapitel 70: It's Cool to Have One
At the new field, Song Tian looked at the strawberry plant, he looked around to inspect which branch he needs to cut in order to increase the quality of it.
Song Tian pondered as he looked at the plant, "Xiao Yi, from the website article I've read, the strawberry plant will produce stolons," he said.
Song Tian continued, "Why is that I never saw any runners on my strawberry?" he asked.
Song Yi answered, "Because it's tilled with Basic Hoe," she said.
Song Yi continued, "You remember the Basic Hoe function can turn any soil condition to become perfect for planting crops, right?" she said.
Song Tian remembers the Basic Hoe's function, and it also removed wild weeds and roots in the soil to affect the plants in any harmful ways.
"Roots?" Song Tian thought as his eyes suddenly widened.
Runners, also called stolons are stems which grow at the soil surface or just below ground that form adventitious roots at the nodes, and new plants from the buds.
In strawberry, the stolons run above the ground, and the nodes will develop the adventitious roots. As the adventitious roots sent downward to contact the soil, it will establish new strawberry plants.
Once established, it'll eventually start to separate and becomes an independent plant.
The Basic Hoe function is preventing the strawberry from developing its runners because it'll take away the energy from the original plants which affect the production of it.
While the strawberry runners also have its own benefit him and save some money from buying the seeds, Song Tian thought it would be a mess if the new plants were starting to grow on untilled soil.
"Then why I can still increase its quality by cutting some unnecessary branches?" Song Tian couldn't help but ask.
Song Yi chuckled, "I don't know what that stuff is called, it's sacrificing some fruits and leaves some of them to increase the quality of it," she said.
Song Yi continued, "I think it should be called Fruit Sacrifice? Crop Sacrifice? Yield Sacrifice?" she said.
Song Tian suddenly remembered there are farmers in Japan who uses this method.
"It seems I need to research about this in the future," he thought.
Song Tian started to cut the unnecessary branches of the strawberry plant, at first he's really nervous as he's scared it's going to be failed.
Not long after, he's relieved to find he's successfully altered the quality of the strawberry plants to [1 Star Quality].
As time goes, Song Tian already on his last plants. He wipes the sweat on his forehead and found Song Li and Xiao Yu are on his shoulders.
"I'm hungry, we want food!" Song Li said.
Song Tian looked at his watch and surprised to find it's already 3 PM.
Song Tian smiled apologetically to the cats and brought them to the cabin, "Wait for me to took a shower first," he said.
Several moments later, Song Tian prepared the foods for him and the cats.
He called Giga to eat but found out he already had lunch with Claudia Lawrence earlier.
After lunch, Xiao Yu looked at Song Tian, "What are you doing in the field for so long?" she asked.
Song Tian smiled, "I was altering the quality of my crops," he said.
Xiao Yu nodded her furry head, and she drinks the milk on her bowls.
After talking for a while, Song Tian brought the cats with him to the fish pond.
Looking at the fish swimming around, Song Tian sighed.
Song Li looked at Song Tian, "When are you going to start selling these fish to people? You only sold it to Song Yi," he said.
Song Tian smiled bitterly, "I don't know, I need to complete my quest first before getting sidetracked by another thing," he said.
After talking for a while, Song Tian went to the barn to milk the cow.
Closing the metal bucket after milking the cow, Song Tian looked at the cow's stats.
[Cow]
- Name: Cow 1.
- Breed: Holstein.
- Status: Healthy.
- Friendship: Acquaintance.
- Food: Yes.
- Milk: 60 Liters/Day.
- Increase Friendship Requirement: Rubs its body regularly with a brush every day.
Song Tian eyes lit up as he saw the requirement for the cows, he went to his cabin immediately to get the brush he bought from the Global Marketplace.
Not long after, Song Tian came back and started to brush the cow slowly.
"Increase strength a little bit and also go to the right," Song Li said on Song Tian's shoulder.
Song Tian put a little more strength on his hand as he brushes the cow.
He looked at the cow and saw it gave its joyful expression, he looked at Song Li, which already nodded his furry head as a confirmation.
Several moments later, Song Tian already brushed all the cows and bulls in the barn.
He looked at the calf and young bull as he's curious when they're going to grow up, he looked at their stats.
[Cow]
- Name: Cow 2.
- Breed: Holstein.
- Status: Healthy.
- Friendship: Acquaintance.
- Food: Yes.
- Estimated Time: 5 days.
- Increase Friendship Requirement: Rubs its body regularly with a brush every day.
[Bull]
- Name: Bull 2.
- Breed: Holstein.
- Status: Healthy.
- Friendship: Acquaintance.
- Food: Yes.
- Estimated Time: 5 days.
- Increase Friendship Requirement: Rubs its body regularly with a brush every day.
Song Tian was shocked as he saw the stats, he never tried to look at the younger one's stats as Song Li said they're healthy.
Now he saw their stats, he didn't expect the estimated days would be 5 days.
"Xiao Yi, that's their estimated times to grow, right?" he couldn't help but ask just in case he's wrong.
Song Yi giggled, "Yes, that's their estimated times to grow because it's affected by the Integrated Barn, like the chickens which also affected by Integrated Coop," she said.
Song Yi continued, "It only takes 15 days for them to grow mature and ready to breed with the effect of Integrated Barn," she said.
Song Tian surprised, "But since the Integrated Barn affect the growth, does that mean the life expectancy will be shorter?" he couldn't help but ask.
Song Yi answered, "Nah, the life expectancy of the animals here is definitely longer, trust me," she said which makes Song Tian relieved.
Song Yi continued, "It also affects the speed of cow's pregnancy as it'll only take 30 days for the cow to give birth," she said.
Song Tian nodded, he just realizes the Integrated Barn and Coop affect that much.
Song Tian pondered for a moment, he asked, "Xiao Yi, these integrated things are made by you, right?" he said.
Song Yi answered, "It is, I learned all of this from my dad," she said.
Song Tian furrowed his brows, he suddenly remembers the Law of Life and the mysterious woman in his dream.
Song Yi who knew what Song Tian thinking, chuckled, "My dad told me he learned Law of Time a long time ago after being enlightened out of nowhere," she said.
Song Yi continued, "Although he didn't know who's the one giving that law to him, I think it's related to the Law of Life which been occupied your mind recently," she said.
Song Tian shocked, no wonder all the stuff from Song Yi are always unusual, it turns out it had to do with the Law of Time.
But that still didn't help him to know who the woman is, Song Tian shook his head as he didn't want to overthink about it for the time being.
As he went outside, he saw Song Xue's car is coming, and he looked at his little sister, and Yoshida Yui stepped out of the vehicle.
Song Xue waves her hands, "Xiao Tian, I'm going back to my office," she said as she left which makes Song Tian smiled bitterly at how busy she is.
Yoshida Yui greets him, "Brother, I had to leave to do my homework first," she said.
Yoshida Yui looked at Song Xia, "Do your homework this time, all you do is playing games all day during the class," she said as she left.
Song Xia gritted his teeth, "You!" she said as she didn't expect Yoshida Yui would snitch her in front of her brother.
Song Xia looked hesitantly at her brother who's narrowed his eyes at her, she couldn't help but gulp.
"Brother, that's fake news," she said.
Song Tian smiled, "Fake news, huh? Let's see," he said.
Song Tian continued, "If I heard a complain later from your teacher, I think I will cancel all of your game subscriptions," he said while rubbing his nonexistent beard.
Song Xia face changed since she's not old enough to have her own bank, she relied on her brother to transfer all the money she earned from uploading videos at Sphere.
Although her brother really dotes her, it's different when it comes to studying.
After getting scolded for a while, Song Xia pouted, "Brother, Wang Hai told me you also used to skip the class and play the games all the time," she said.
Song Tian shook his head, "That's different, I don't want you to become a delinquent like me," he said.
Song Tian continued, "While I skipped the class and play games, at least I do my homework," he said.
Song Xia stood in front of her brother silently.
Song Tian looked at his little sister, he can't bear to see his little sister being silent like that, he couldn't help but sigh.
"At least do your homework. After graduating from high school, you can do whatever you want," Song Tian said.
Song Tian continued, "But don't take Elisa Delgado as an example. I know you've also played with her all night," he said as he didn't want her little sister to only play games 24/7.
He already complained to Elisa Delgado not to bring his little sister to raid at night, but that's futile as Song Xia still plays with her all night.
After dinner, he saw Yoshida Kenji, and Fujioka Masami came.
Song Tian looked at Yoshida Kenji who brought two crates of beers with him, laughed, "Damn, let's call Wang Hai," he said.
Yoshida Kenji smiled bitterly, "He's busy, I already called him earlier," he said.
Song Tian nodded, he sent a message to Giga to come to his cabin.
As he put the phone on his pocket, Song Tian saw Su Wen is coming.
Su Wen looked there are peoples at Song Tian's cabin, "Did I interrupt you?" she asked.
Song Tian laughed, "Nah, come inside," he said as Giga is also coming not long after.
Song Tian started to introduce all of them, and they move to the gazebo.
Picking the bottles from the crate, Yoshida Kenji looked at Giga and Su Wen, laughed, "Come on, let's drink," he said as he handed the bottles to both of them.
Giga immediately took the bottle and started to drink while Su Wen went to get some glass with Fujioka Masami.
On the kitchen, Fujioka Masami smiled apologetically at Su Wen, "I'm sorry for my fiance behavior," she said.
Su Wen laughed, "It's fine, it's not like it's a big deal or something," she said.
Fujioka Masami sighed in relief, "It's been a while since I saw him showing such cheerful expression like that. Usually, he's always so serious," she said.
Su Wen smiled, "Isn't that a good thing?" she said.
Fujioka Masami nodded, "It is, I'm so glad I moved along with him to this country," she said.
Su Wen smiled, she and Fujioka Masami decided to make a snack for them and talking about a random thing as they're slowly getting along with each other.
Su Wen came back with Fujioka Masami, bringing a lot of snacks with them.
After talking for a while, Yoshida Kenji looked at Song Tian, "The battle-axe will be ready tomorrow," he said.
Giga was puzzled, "Battle-axe?" he couldn't help but ask.
Yoshida Kenji laughed, "My brother is asking me to make him a battle-axe, and it'll be ready tomorrow," he said.
Su Wen looked at Song Tian weirdly, "What are you up to with that axe?" she asked.
Song Tian laughed, "I don't know, I just think it's cool to have one," he said which make all of them speechless.
