chapter 50
Louis is not going well here, but Si Nian doesn't know anything about it, he vaguely senses that something is wrong, but Si Nian, who still lacks knowledge of this era, can't change anything because of this.
There is still too little he can do.
Si Nian summed up the current situation, his advantage lies in the contract, although this thing sometimes seems to be relatively weak and cannot be fully controlled, but judging from the seed packs, simple guides, upgradeable space and primary physical training techniques it provides, the contract is not useless, but he can't fully play the effect of the contract yet.
Moreover, judging from the recent tasks given by the contract, although the rewards it has given have not yet shown great value, the future value of these things can be seen from the words "primary", "easy", and "upgradeable", as well as the rewards of this recent side quest.
The space is not particularly valuable at present, and he is also used as a space button, but the fresh-keeping function is better, and this can be put aside first.
He used the primary physical training technique every day, but the effect was mediocre, and Louis had already learned it, so it was useless if he couldn't learn new content. Moreover, the punishment of the contract made it clear that he and Louis would not see each other in the real world for five years, so that even if he learned a new physical exercise, he would not be able to give it to each other. This is almost nothing for Luis now.
Fruit and vegetable seed packets are now very useful, although they can only grow Chinese cabbage, but the amount that can be grown is quite a lot. Because when he is not in front of him, the growth of Chinese cabbage will be a little slower, so it can only ripen three times a day, Rao is so, Si Nian can also harvest thirty Chinese cabbage a day, except for what he eats, the rest of Si Nian is handed over to Uncle Hua, let Wuhua help take care of it, these things will eventually be exchanged for more favorable resources and handed over to Louis. As for the process in between, Si Nian ignored it.
He originally wanted to give all the cabbage to Wuhua and eat the nutrient solution himself, but was rejected by others. Louis has not yet reached such an urgent time, let alone one more cabbage or one less, which will hardly have the slightest impact on the overall situation, and there is no need to treat himself harshly for this. Si Nian also understood this through their persuasion, and asked Louis not to be stingy when he was on the phone, and taking care of himself was the most important thing.
As for the easy guide, Si Nian didn't feel much help from it to himself before, but since this thing is going to be upgraded now, it means that it still has a lot of potential to tap, so the most important thing at the moment is to complete the side quest given by this contract and upgrade the guide as soon as possible.
Now the question arises, how to complete the tasks given by the guide in a short period of time?
On this issue, Si Nian made a difficulty.
Identifying a thousand plants may sound simple, but it's not at all.
First of all, the pitfall nature of the simple guide determines that the identification itself is not an easy task.
Generally speaking, it is impossible to identify the results of the guide at one time, and you have to be patient and keep brushing it, which is a bit like some of the mentally retarded games that I have been exposed to in the past few years - it does not test people's intelligence, but it is just a waste of time.
Secondly, plants are not so easy to obtain.
It is best to have some plants that are safe and harmless and relatively easy to access, some of these plants are indeed relatively easy to obtain, such as the ones that Wuhua used to use for Si Nian to practice for the special recruitment exam, but some are not so easy to access. If it wasn't particularly dangerous, and it was slightly valuable, the owner usually wouldn't let people touch it lightly—just like a plant in the class, if Si Nian wanted to touch it with his hand, a sharp and miserable howl would await him.
Don't ask Si Nian why he knows, he just wants to forget this memory.
Another trick in the guide is that it can't identify dead plants. This also eliminates the possibility of Si Nian buying fruits and vegetables from the supermarket or using some broken branches for identification.
To this end, Si Nian identified all the things that could be identified in the surrounding area, including the unknown weeds that grew in all corners of the academy, the cheap flowers and plants that Wuhua could get, and the mutant plants that seemed less dangerous—for which he was also whipped several times by the mutant Dadamu, but fortunately, the wound was not severe.
Si Nian went to the online mall to check the price of the plant, and he almost identified the cheap ones, and the expensive ones he couldn't afford with his current net worth.
Si began to use his brain on how to reach more plants.
At present, there are only two ways he can think of it, one is to earn money to buy plants for himself to complete the task, and the other is to participate in some work at the academy to complete the task.
Both methods have pros and cons, the first is relatively simple in the later operation, but how can the money be so easy to make?
The second type is not a hassle to make money, but not everyone can get a job at the college, especially freshmen like them who have just enrolled. The only thing to be thankful for is that he has a good exclusive mentor, Mr. Richard.
Ever since Richard took Si Nian as a student, he has often paid attention to Si Nian's studies.
In his opinion, Si Nian still needs to spend more time laying a good foundation before he can start the real auxiliary work.
But Si Nian obviously couldn't wait to start the cultivation of plants in person.
He decided to find a way to make money while talking to Mr. Richard about cultivating plants.
He already has a certain plan to make money, but before that, he wants to discuss his future work with Mr. Richard.
Si Nian went out with his mimosa.
Richard has been very troubled lately, the real medicine is a tedious and complicated work, many times, you know the certain ingredients, but you can never find the best ratio, sometimes you have found the optimal ratio, but you can't figure out the specific way to deal with it.
He now has a job improving soothing potions. This medicine is mainly used to relieve the symptoms of a cold - yes, a cold medicine.
I have to say that in the interstellar era when cancer has been cured, the cold sounds like a child, but in fact, viruses are the most changeable. Although humans in the interstellar age have become stronger for some reason, viruses have also evolved, as if maggots on tarsal bones have followed the development of human beings and have not withdrawn from the stage of history.
In addition, the symptoms of colds are still very unbearable as they were thousands of years ago, which is why soothing medicines were born.
Soothing medicine, as the name suggests, is not a cure for colds, it only makes people feel better.
Don't underestimate this kind of medicine, you know, it is the key to supporting the survival of the small pharmacy, and the annual sales volume is the second highest, second only to the sale of holy products - Wei Ermeng - don't ask Si Nian what kind of medicine this is, anyway, he feels that he will not be able to use it in his life.
Richard's job of perfecting the soothing potion is also unkind, although he is indeed a figure like a stone in a pit, but even if it is a stinky stone, he has friends, right?
This friend is really not his kind, but Jessica, who is known as one of the two flowers of medicine.
Speaking of which, Jessica and Albert are still relatives, she is Albert's aunt, the current sales director of Fushou Pharmaceutical, a beauty with flaming red lips.
Don't think that tech nerds don't love beauties, in addition to their work and research, they also know how to enjoy the wonderful time with beauties.
Jessica got acquainted with Richard at an early age because of her work, and the two were both partners and good friends.
Albert was able to enter the Interstellar Academy to study pharmacy this time, in addition to his own strength, the relationship between Jessica and Richard was also indispensable.
This time, the salary offered for the optimization work was very high, and Richard, whether it was out of favor or for the sake of money, was not averse to this work.
Unfortunately, he has been studying it for more than a month, but he has always achieved little results.
The reason for this is not that he does not work hard, but because the lack of one of the plants slows down his progress in practice.
The plant itself is not difficult to obtain, it can even be regarded as a cheap, weed-like plant, it is very aggressive, almost no lethality, many places like to use it as a decorative green plant to decorate the environment, in addition, it has the characteristics of rapid reproduction.
The reasons for the choice of this plant as an important ingredient in the rejuvenating medicine are the most important. Therefore, it is difficult to exclude Richard's optimization this time.
After all, why should a cheap, easy-to-propagate plant be replaced?
Although Richard is stinky and hard, he still understands this kind of medical common sense.
Now, however, the problem is that this plant, the star grass, must be fresh to bring out its best results!
Such conditions are not difficult for pharmaceutical companies, after all, they only need to establish a breeding base of star grass near the production base, but it has brought great difficulties to Richard's real yàn!
Where did Richard get so much star grass?!
The Star Academy Star is a huge planet, but for the Star Academy with many mentors and students, resources are always in a state of tension.
Richard did have a remarkable position in pharmacy and botany as a whole, but that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants here.
The field he was allocated was so big, and there were still many precious plants to be planted, could he have uprooted them all to plant star grass?
Richard would have been crazy to do that!
As for finding a random place to plant, the academy does not allow it, so Richard, who needs a lot of star grass to do research, falls into such a dilemma.
