Chapter 65: The Cost of Failing a Challenge Mission (Revised)
Ding Xuecheng took out the science "picture book" in his schoolbag, carefully flipped through the content of the first lesson of the third unit, and quickly memorized it. Then he walked out of the house and headed out into town.
In the countryside this season, the crops in the fields have been harvested, and the knee-high withered yellow rice stalks stand upright like stone statues on Easter Island; A few wisps of green occasionally emerge from the mud, as if to welcome the distant spring in advance; The withered grass on the roadside, the sparse and sparsely populated villages, either the Spring Festival couplets that refused to leave the previous year are floating on the door frames, or the moss on the steps is lying freely, or occasionally wandering three or two elusive old people, indicating that this place is still the earth.
In the countryside of this era, some young people are going out of the big city to survive, and some are dreaming; Elderly people with children go to the city to take care of their school-going children; Wealthy families have gone to the city to buy a house...... The whole countryside is depressed and dilapidated.
Ding Xuecheng looked at the gray sky, the lonely and lonely field drifted through the whining of the autumn wind, the lazy sun was like an old man in the twilight, unwilling to sway the residual heat before leaving, tilting, and soon fell to the horizon.
"This is the field that nurtures humanity? People go to earn money, and money can buy food, but food grows out of the land~ Expecting a year-abandon-style planting method to feed a few people? The use and management of modern rural land is too backward, right? That's the case here, and I think it's probably the same in most of the country's rural areas, right? Babe, what do you think? β
"Your idea is good, and your concerns are justified. However, land cannot be cultivated in a predatory way, and the key is management. β
"What do you suggest?"
"Like some Western countries, in order to preserve the vitality of the land, they do not plant for two or three years, but it is not abandoned, but maintained. During the maintenance period, plant some nitrogen-fixing loosening plants, then plough them and bury them deep into the ground to become nutrients for the land. Once you have mass-produced plant culture fluids instead of chemical fertilizers, and then you have found the right plant seeds, your wish will come true. Even some seeds are drought tolerant enough to survive in the desert, turning a vast desert into an oasis that is no worse than transforming farmland, if not better. β
"Yes, turning deserts into oases can improve the earth's environment, regulate the climate, expand the area of land use, and even increase total food production, which is indeed significant. However, this is the land where I was born and raised, and now I am like a terminally ill old man, lying helplessly and lonely on the ground, unattended, and uncomfortable to watch! β
"If you can think from the perspective of society, the country, and even all mankind, this shows that you are very responsible, and you will achieve greater achievements in the future, and the greater the benefits of all mankind. I think that as long as you are a human being with a conscience, you will want to grow up soon! β
"There is no one living in this half of the bay, and some people are also elderly, and there must be no broadband installed, so if you want to find a place with a WIFI signal, you have to go to the town."
β¦β¦
"Hey, this is the town office building, it's really magnificent, there must be a WIFI signal here, look at it~ Sure enough!"
"Go over there, there is sports and fitness equipment, you go over there to play, I started to look up information about the event on the Internet, and there is information about the 'Super Lotto' draw."
"The content of tonight's activity is "All kinds of stationery" in the first lesson of "My Stationery", and the content is ridiculously naΓ―ve! If it weren't for the points, I wouldn't be interested. So, you said that it was an excuse to find out the information about the event for me, and after finding out the information about the 'Super Lotto' draw, I went to the Internet to get around. Am I right? β
"'When the water is clear, there are no fish', don't say it so ugly, I'm looking up useful information for you, right? As for the reward for me to play for a while, I'm not overdoing it! β
"I'm good at IQ~ I know that I have fought the basis of reason! Well, you win! But first, answer me this question: Can I participate in three levels of activity tasks at the same time? β
"What do you mean?" Beibei's voice was a little nervous.
"My mental power is so high now, my memory doesn't say 'I can't forget', but I can also 'see ten lines at a glance', right? The comprehension is equivalent to that of a doctoral student, so it's not an exaggeration, right? But I still have to do the first grade of elementary school activities, and I really feel ashamed...... Give up and don't do it, the points at your fingertips are equivalent to giving them away for free, wouldn't it be stupid? Aside from the weekly challenge tasks to look forward to, the daily tasks are too pediatric and completely chicken, so I'm very entangled. β
"Given that your mental strength has improved very quickly, the application has been approved. You can choose medium and high-level activity tasks as appropriate when your mental strength meets the conditions for the activity. Finally, solemnly remind: every challenge task in the middle and advanced levels is very dangerous, failure means being eliminated, the login card is unbound and disappears, and you can no longer enter the magic mirror; Also clear all memories associated with the 'Science Mirror', recovering the items and skills you have gained. During the low-level activities, you can choose to participate voluntarily, and only 1,000 points will be deducted if you fail. After the intermediate level is opened, you must participate once every half month, and you don't have to spend points to open it; Once the Premium tier is opened, you must participate once a month and you don't have to spend points to open it. The challenge task at the middle and high level is to enforce, and giving up means automatic elimination! Have you decided to turn it on now? β
Ding Xuecheng found that since he proposed that he wanted to participate in intermediate and high-level activities, Bei Bei seemed to have become a lot more serious and unfamiliar; After saying "the application was approved", the original Babe seemed to be taken over......
Therefore, Ding Xuecheng was very nervous now, and asked hesitantly: "What does 'the application is approved' mean?" Is it already on? I can't go back? β
This means that you can do that by participating in three levels of activity tasks at the same time, but you need to decide when to start. Once decided, open it immediately, and you can't go back, otherwise you will be eliminated! β
"It's okay~ It's okay! There is still time to think about it~ That 'challenge task' is really terrible, once enforced, one mistake is elimination,...... If you don't reach the strength, you are gambling on luck when you go in...... Babe, what do you suggest? β
"Decide for yourself!"
When Ding Xuecheng heard this intelligent tone, he was a little stunned, and said secretly: "I'm dizzy~ It turns out that the 'dead beggar for nothing' Bei Bei hasn't come back yet, and now he can't make a blind decision!" β
So he said to this "Beibei": "I'll think about it carefully before making a decision, and I won't start the intermediate and high-level event tasks for the time being." β
β¦β¦
"I'm scared to death~!"
"What just happened? Are you taken over? β
"The core program is triggered, the main program is launched, and of course it is isolated! It's a good thing you didn't say yes......"
"I asked a question, and that intelligent response was clearly not you! So I didn't decide to turn it on now. β
"You're smart! Otherwise, you'll never see me again......"
"Why can't I see you? Intermediate and advanced activity tasks are not managed by you? β
"After the intermediate and advanced event tasks are opened, the challenge tasks are mandatory, and failure means elimination, of course you won't see me! You misunderstood the magic space and the event space! I am your guide, and I am only responsible for 'guiding'. The activities you participate in are real, not much management, and the tasks and rewards are set by the main program. Don't ask, you can't say it now! When you enter the innate or have more than 100 points of spiritual power, you can officially become the 'Chosen One', and some secret information will be open to you, and you will know it then. Don't talk about that, the time has not come, so I asked in vain! Haha~ That intelligence just now was very rigid, wasn't it? β
"Well, although you often have a smooth tone, you have a human touch, not a cold feeling, and you are still casual and comfortable with you."
"Only now did I find out how good I am, Lord Beibei? Haha~ Visionary! β
