While Rong Shichu was busy in the yard of her ancestral home, her pot of strawberries that was being auctioned had already been delivered to the buyer.
Ke Tingfan looked carefully at the pot of strawberries in front of him. The leaves were emerald green, the two ripe strawberries were bright red, and the unripe ones were also full of vitality. The whole pot of plants gave people the feeling of being lush and vibrant.
"What are you staring at?" Ke's mother asked, patting her son on the shoulder. When she saw the strawberries clearly, she couldn't help but be surprised. "Oh, these strawberries are growing really well! Which old man in the Agricultural Science Academy planted them? Or which planting master in the interstellar space?"
Ke Tingfan shook his head and said expressionlessly: "I don't know, I bought it from an auction."
"Then you've found a treasure! I'll help you take care of the daily life, but you have to give me half of the strawberries when they're ripe." Ke's mother bargained with her son.
Ke Tingfan raised his right eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "No, I have my own plant nutritional supplements."
Mother Ke was immediately annoyed. She slapped her son and said, "Why, just to avoid giving your mother a few strawberries, you are willing to use plant nutritional supplements on this pot of strawberries? Aren't you afraid that they will die and you will lose a lot of money?"
Plant nutritional supplements were developed by the Academy of Sciences to provide nutrients to plants and prevent them from withering due to lack of energy transport from the plant.
"Mom, my plant nutrient supplement has been improved and can now maintain the daily needs of plants and will not cause the plants to wither and die." Ke Tingfan said helplessly to his mother.
Mother Ke sneered, "If plant nutrients are really that good, then why do we still rely on planters to grow plants? And you need to use a ton of these nutritional supplements to grow a cabbage! Wouldn't you need to use half a river of supplements to grow this pot of strawberries?"
When Ke Tingfan heard what his mother said, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? I will try to develop a concentrated essence version of this nutritional supplement in the future, so that you plant growers can have an easier time."
Ke Tingfan picked a ripe strawberry and handed it to Ke's mother. Ke's mother swallowed the sarcasm that was about to come out of her mouth and happily took the strawberry.
"They are so bright and juicy, and they are growing so well. I've grown strawberries before, but none of them grew as well as this one." Ke's mother exclaimed.
Ke Tingfan picked another ripe strawberry, washed it, and put it in his mouth. He took a bite, and the sweet and juicy flesh spread in his mouth. A thin stream of refreshing energy instantly flowed into his spiritual sea, like cool stream water flowing into a boiling volcano, clearing his mind.
But the stream was too small and was far from being able to withstand the eruption of the volcano. Ke Tingfan immediately ate the remaining half of the strawberry, and his restless spirit finally regained some tranquility.
Ke Tingfan seemed to be lost in thought. This pot of strawberries seemed to be particularly effective in calming his mental power. You know, because his mental power was too high, ordinary plants had no soothing effect on him. Even high-level plants had very little effect on calming his mental power.
But the strawberry he ate today brought him more soothing energy than any other plant he had used or eaten before, and the effect was so obvious that he discovered it easily.
Ke Tingfan was very surprised, and immediately asked the manager of the auction house to keep an eye on the grower who was auctioning the strawberry pot, and to notify him in time if the grower wanted to auction off more plants.
He moved the pot of strawberries back to his laboratory and studied the strawberry stems, leaves, and fruits without damaging the plants, even the soil in the pot.
Rong Shichu had no idea that the strawberries she sold were being carefully studied. She was just a happy farmer, and having a planting robot made things convenient. Rong Shichu only needed to move her fingers to bury the seeds in the soil, and use her planting ability to make it take root and sprout, and the planting robot could do everything else.
One interstellar moment later, Rong Shichu had planted all kinds of plants in the vacant space of the ancestral home. The young green seedlings covered the entire ground, and it was full of vitality, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Even Rong Gu was worried that Rong Shichu's mental strength was exhausted, but she was smiling happily at the green seedlings.
Rong Shichu comforted it, saying that she was inspired by the notes left by her ancestors, and her talent for planting had been awakened. Her ability had improved several levels compared to before, and it was not difficult to produce these seeds. It was not easy to comfort Rong Gu, the good robot nanny who worked hard on everything.
The Rong family's ancestral home is relatively remote. Of course, when the ancestral home was first built thousands of years ago, this area was still a relatively prosperous area. However, it gradually declined, and the surrounding families moved away or died out. In the end, the Rong family's ancestral home was the only place where people still lived.
When the original owner was a child, she was afraid to live here because she was the only human within a ten-mile radius. When she went to school, all those who could provide accommodation moved in because she was too lonely. Living in a lively school made her feel safe.
However, Rong Shichu was very satisfied with the place that the original owner avoided. After all, she was not afraid of loneliness, and she would definitely plant a lot of plants. Remote places were easy to keep secrets, so the ancestral home far away from the downtown area was just what she wanted.
However, when the seedlings in the field grew to one foot tall, a few men and women who looked like teenage students actually wandered around the Rong family's ancestral home.
"Wow! Look at this shabby house! It must have been a magnificent building thousands of years ago, right? I don't know who owned it, but it has become like this now, so eerie. Do you think there are ghosts in it?" said a grinning male voice.
"What ghost or not? You are an interstellar human, but don't you know that ghosts are just a form of energy? What's there to be afraid of?" said another arrogant female voice disdainfully.
"I was just saying it casually! I just read a ghost story from ancient times, and then I saw this 'haunted house', and it suddenly occurred to me." The boy said indignantly.
"I wonder if there are any treasures in there? Should we go in and explore? Maybe we can find some treasures!" The voice was a naughty male voice.
"Okay, since we're bored here anyway, we might as well go in and take a look!" a sweet and charming female voice echoed.
"Wow! There are people who have planted bionic plant seedlings here! There are so many of them, green and lush everywhere..."
"These bionic plant seedlings are so realistic, just like real plants. If no one is around, why don't we secretly dig some up and take them home?"
Rong Shichu's ears moved, and he rushed out of the house to the few people in an instant, and said with a cold face: "What are you doing here? This is a private area!"
She appeared so suddenly, like a ghost, appearing in front of several people in an instant, scaring them. After hearing her words, one of the boys with dyed blue hair said in shock: "There are actually people living in this shabby house? Beautiful girl, aren't you afraid to live here alone?"
