Under normal circumstances, it takes more than ten days for round wheat to mature, but there is actually a shortcut.
Yu Yinyin has some elixir that can be used to ripen plants. This thing is actually concentrated spiritual power in water form, mixed with some functional spiritual elements that help growth.
He had used it occasionally during his research before. It had no side effects, but it could accelerate growth, so that he could complete the sudden "Task One" quickly.
Lin Qinghen felt that time passed very quickly, but in fact he had already been on guard all night.
When Yu Yinyin just woke up when he rushed in, he saw Lin Qinghen running to the side room where things were kept.
After a while, Yu Yinyin saw him holding the bottle and preparing to go out, and he seemed to be running towards the fields again.
She knew at first glance that the bottle was used to store low-level ripening spiritual water. The thing was not very valuable, so he could use it at will.
Just looking at his straight eyes, I know he has no idea what he is planting. He is so focused that he doesn't eat. I guess he didn't sleep all night last night.
He learns things very quickly and is very focused. In some ways, he is even better than his teacher. Yu Yinyin has not been able to teach him anything in recent years, except to occasionally answer some questions.
She didn't often go to see Lin Qinghen's two acres of land. After all, it was just round wheat, a child tinkering with it and planting it for fun. To put it bluntly, it was just a low-star spiritual plant with no value. What could be produced no matter how much they planted it
But this time, before Lin Qinghen hurried out, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned back.
"Master," he asked Yu Yinyin. His voice was still a little hoarse after not sleeping all night, "Do you have any medicine base here? The most ordinary one will be fine."
The medicine base is the universal base material used by alchemists when refining low-level yellow-grade elixirs and spiritual medicines. It is a thick substance that is simply prepared by grinding the spirit crystals.
Its main function is to serve as the spiritual energy base for low-level elixirs. It is also an auxiliary tool that can make the elixir materials more condensed and help maximize the effectiveness of the spiritual plants used as medicine.
It is only used when refining yellow-grade elixirs, and refining elixirs above the black grade generally requires more than three kinds of raw materials. The spiritual energy of the raw materials themselves is enough. The black-grade pharmacists are also more capable, so naturally they don't need to use the medicinal base as an auxiliary.
Although this is something only alchemists would use, Yu Yinyin was a little confused at this moment as to why Lin Qinghen would ask this. However, this kid always had some strange ideas.
She answered, "It's on the rightmost shelf, in the middle of the third shelf. Go get it yourself."
The plantation supplies the Lin Family Medicine Store, so there is some connection, so it is normal to prepare some medicine bases. There is no need for Yu Yinyin to be stingy with such ordinary things as low-level medicine bases.
Lin Qinghen thanked him, ran to get it, then took the two bottles and left like the wind. I don’t know if he heard what was said afterwards.
Yu Yinyin watched him running around in front of her like an excited little piglet.
It seemed that Lin Qinghen was the only person she had ever seen who had such poor talent but had always lived so seriously.
This child is sometimes silly and sometimes smart. Looking at him, it seems as if a little bit of life has been transferred to him.
Lin Qinghen didn't care about anything. He didn't feel tired, sleepy or hungry when he was excited. He quickly reached his field, moved the thirteen round wheat plants out from the nursery, planted them, and then poured the ripening agent on them all.
While waiting for them to mature quickly, he stared at the medicine in his hand for a while, then moved his fingers, touched the grass between his wrists, and called up the system screen.
He looked at the words "Hemostatic Powder Recipe" rewarded by the system and began to ponder deeply.
When I saw it before, I thought I was dreaming and didn't think about it carefully. I just thought there was nothing good to reward him for being able to recite the formula of the hemostatic powder backwards.
But this thing is really bound to me, it is not a dream, and the reward for this line of tasks does not seem to be that simple.
Lin Qinghen already had a bold guess in his mind, which was why he prepared some medicine that he would never use.
At the same time, those alienated round wheat plants were growing and maturing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon they grew up right under Lin Qinghen's nose.
Lin Qinghen picked the fruits while keeping the system screen open. He put buckets of fruit at a time in a bamboo basket. The yield of the round wheat he planted was quite high. The fruits of the thirteen alienated round wheat plants filled up an entire bamboo basket. He also saw that the task interface was changing.
When he picked the tenth plant, a large golden check mark appeared on the task interface, and at the bottom a rectangular block indicating task completion appeared, which looked very much like the task submission interface in the online games he had played.
Lin Qinghen clicked it subconsciously, and a warm current surged up in his body. Before he had time to think about whether this was the effect of that "natural affinity", his system interface changed.
A glowing arrow appeared on the bottom line with the words "Crafting Station Unlocked" on it.
Then two items appeared at the bottom of the screen, one was the task interface, and the other was the crafting table. The arrow even shook, as if afraid that he couldn't see it. The novice guide text above was also very simple and clear - "Click here to jump to the crafting table."
Lin Qinghen took a few deep breaths, his fingers trembled a little, but he pressed down without hesitation.
After he clicked, the crafting table interface looked different.
In Lin Qinghen's eyes, he seemed to be really bound to the system of a real-life player in a game, because this thing was so similar.
The crafting table interface is divided into many small grids, but most of the small grids are gray-black and have a lock on them.
Only the small piece at the top was lit, with the words "Hemostatic Powder" written on it and a small medicine bottle drawn on it. Next to the bottle were a few black pills scattered around, which looked exactly like Hemostatic Powder.
The "Hemostatic Powder" block can also be clicked on, and the interface that pops up is a round medicine cauldron with a few lines of words on it.
Recipe: 1 portion of alienated red round wheat (20/1), 1 portion of low-level medicinal base (1/1)
Finished product: one batch of hemostatic powder (the quantity of pills varies from 20 to 25, and the quality of the medicine is affected by factors such as raw materials)
Production speed: one batch can be produced in 30 minutes
Additional bonus: Affected by natural affinity, the quality of the pill is increased by 1%, and other extremely weak positive therapeutic effects are added.
Lin Qinghen watched it several times, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.
It seems that this Alchemist System lives up to its name, it can really make medicine!
Lin Qinghen was unable to react for a moment to the 20 servings of red round wheat that the recipe had given him, but he soon realized that his red round wheat had been improved and its yield had increased by about 50%. According to the normal dosage used by a pharmacist, it should indeed be around 20 servings.
Looking more closely at the output and production time of the pills produced by this system, the current level of the system is not very high, the efficiency is not fast, and it can only produce hemostatic powder at present.
In general, it was the level of an ordinary yellow-rank three-star alchemist. The so-called 1% natural affinity bonus was basically negligible, and the additional effect looked intimidating, but with the words "extremely weak", it was clear that it was not something that could have a huge impact on the pill.
After all, it is still in the starting stage, and what can be achieved will depend on the finished product.
He found a light in the center of the medicine cauldron, and he could start making it by poking it.
The number of pills in the production interface can also be controlled, but Lin Qinghen did not prepare a lot of medicinal materials, so he only brought one.
Anyway, it would take half an hour to make the first batch, so he clicked start and watched a small medicine stove slowly emitting steam appear in the upper right corner, with a countdown below.
At the same time, the medicine in Lin Qinghen's hand was instantly empty, and the round wheat in the bamboo basket also became lighter.
It's quite automated.
While the pills were still being made, he also discovered that each small item was underlined.
Lin Qinghen clicked on them one by one, but the system did not give any extra prompts. It only told him that the four items of formula, output, speed and bonus would be affected by some factors and could be improved, but it did not tell him how to do it.
This system will probably have a lot of room for growth in the future. Just like a real alchemist, it is not achieved overnight, but gradually.
—Host, please work hard to explore, grow quickly, and become an excellent alchemist as soon as possible.
The system's small pop-up window told him this.
Lin Qinghen's eyes lit up: Okay!
This beginning had already given him a big surprise.
It has been more than ten years, and although this thing is late, it’s good that it’s here.
His luck in traveling through time was indeed bad. He was called a waste and mocked for being ugly by others, both openly and covertly. Although Lin Qinghen could hide, the overt and covert bullying never stopped.
With his strength and the inability to protect himself outside the Lin family, he could only rely on his professional ability and secretly study low-star spiritual plants, hoping to have a way to survive in the future.
But even though he had raised the round wheat alienation rate to 8%, he didn't dare tell anyone about it, let alone sell his finished products rashly.
Life in the Lin family made him cautious, afraid of taking a wrong step. Mainly, Lin Qinghen did not have the ability to protect himself.
Even though he had researched the alienation rate of round wheat, he didn't even have a place that truly belonged to him, and it was possible that someone else would discover him and obtain his seeds.
This place doesn't have such patent protection, and the Lin family can't be his backer. By then, he will lose his value, or just be a puppet.
Lin Qinghen has been searching for a way to monetize his efforts. He has no intention of slapping anyone in the face, nor has he thought of a counterattack. He just wants to have the ability to stand on his own feet as soon as possible.
Now I finally have it.
The pills produced by an alchemist are very fashionable and circulated, enough to become his own backer.
Lin Qinghen was happy for a while, but unfortunately Yu Yinyin couldn't see the system, and he didn't know how to explain it to his master.
Moreover, the capabilities brought by the current system are not very high. Lin Qinghen does not intend to reveal the existence of the system to anyone.
He wanted to seize the time and improve himself quickly.
Task one has been completed, so there should be new tasks refreshed in the system.
Now no one can stop him from making progress!
