Chapter 219
The water in the fishpond can make the fish grow quickly
Jiang Li opened her spatial ring, which contained the 10 bags of nutrient solution she had obtained earlier, bringing the total to 20 bags.
Unexpectedly, she has become a major consumer of nutrient solutions!
Little Vine came running after smelling the aroma, and when she saw the plant nutrient solution in the bronze treasure chest, she pointed her vine tip at the green transparent bag.
Can I give it a drink?
Jiang Li wasn't a stingy person; she took one bag and gave it to them, since there were 20 bags in total!
Xiao Man slowly sucked on the nutrient solution, just like drinking milk tea. Jiang Li could tell from its animated movements that it was really enjoying it.
Jiang Li used all three fishpond blueprints, and in the blink of an eye, the fishpond had grown even larger.
[Fishpond area: 6 square meters]
Although it's still not very big, it's much better than the initial 1 square meter. At least it looks like a fishpond instead of a small puddle, and as the area increases, it also becomes deeper.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked at the fish in the fishpond.
When I scooped them out with a net, the fry had grown into fish the size of my palm.
The fish in the pond grow very quickly, perhaps because of the water in the pond.
"The water in this pond can make fish grow quickly. I wonder if it will have any beneficial effects on humans, such as promoting evolution or something like that."
The ball refuted her guess, "No."
"Besides spontaneous evolution, there is only one way for humans to use external forces to promote human evolution, which is to use the fruits of evolving plants to induce evolution. However, inducing evolution requires the interaction of multiple plant fruits."
Qiu explained to her, "Have you ever thought that the reason why humans in this world can evolve is essentially due to this rain? Although it brought disaster, it also brought mutations. However, in animals, these mutations are malignant, but in humans, they are partially benign, which is what you often call evolved humans."
"Your piglet is one of the rarer benign mutant animals. The genetic mutation prevents it from growing up, but it is smarter."
Benign mutations are different from malignant mutations. Benign mutations do not cause deformities or become aliens. In the context of animals, such benign mutations cannot be considered mutations, but rather evolution.
"So actually, whether or not you inject Zhu Cuihua with anti-mutation drugs, it won't mutate, because it has already evolved."
Jiang Li frowned upon hearing this. "Then wouldn't I have wasted a hundred gold coins for nothing?"
I should have known better than to give Zhu Cuihua the big butt needle.
Jiang Li filled a bowl with water from a container and put it into the chicken coop.
Besides the large hen she bought from the gold coin shop, there was also a group of chicks inside.
In addition, regarding the calf, from now on, when feeding the animals water, we'll only use water from the fishpond. This way, the animals on the farm will grow very quickly.
Besides nutrient solution and fishpond blueprints, the bronze treasure chest also contained two other items—
Money tree seedlings and golden lounge chairs.
These two items exude a strong sense of wealth just by looking at them. The money tree sapling is golden in color, the leaves are made of gold, and the branches are covered with golden flower buds.
It truly is a money tree, no exaggeration.
[Money Tree: It can generate money! Plant it like a regular sapling, requiring regular watering and fertilization. As it grows, the flower buds that fall to the ground will turn into gold coins.]
Jiang Li found a conspicuous spot and planted it.
Regardless, it's gold after all, and placing it in a conspicuous place will always attract too much attention.
A money tree, if purchased in the store, would cost 9999 gold coins, but now it's been directly opened from a bronze treasure chest. This shows how valuable this kill reward chest is, especially since it's just a bronze treasure chest.
Jiang Li opened the panel and saw that there were a total of six chests, each corresponding to a node. The requirement to claim the bronze chest was to kill 800 mutated beasts, while the silver chest required 2000 kills, and so on.
Her current total kill count is 852, which is just over the first milestone.
In other words, 1148 more mutated beasts need to be killed before you can claim the silver treasure chest.
It seems she still needs to collect some tokens to exchange for activation seeds. In the future, she'll still need these plants to hunt mutated beasts. Anyway, she definitely can't kill that many mutated beasts. She should just stick to farming.
……
Coming down from the mountain, the group had never felt so relaxed. Many areas had become forbidden zones after the apocalypse, especially the major forests, which convoys would detour from.
But now they are strolling leisurely here.
"This dodder flower has a fragrance that I can't quite describe, but it smells wonderful," Tang You said.
The white flowers covering the hillsides created a beautiful landscape, even more stunning than the fields today.
Lin An: "I actually feel that planting dodder in these mountains is a bit of an overreaction. It would be better if this powerful weapon could be placed in areas with human activity."
"There might not be many plants for it to parasitize in other places," Qin Wangyue said. "The only place it can grow is probably in the mountains."
If it simply parasitizes a single plant, it naturally cannot meet the nutrient requirements of the dodder.
Lin An thought about it carefully and realized it made sense.
If there were such a flower goddess statue in a place where humans live, it is estimated that no animal could survive for more than two seconds in the presence of blooming flowers.
They observed that from the moment the yellow vines of the dodder burrow into an animal's body until it dies, it only takes two seconds. Furthermore, the yellow vines instantly coil around the animal's corpse to form a three-dimensional support, so the process of many strange beasts dying is as if they are instantly petrified, and they remain in the posture they were in before death.
"Why would it do this? Corpse art?" Song Yu felt a little creeped out.
Wrapping a support around the corpse is clearly an unnecessary step; if it were only for parasitism, it wouldn't have needed to do so. Obviously, this practice might just be something the other party is interested in.
Song Yu's father was a criminal psychology expert before the apocalypse. She grew up surrounded by this knowledge and heard her father say that some psychopathic killers would deliberately turn corpses into works of art to satisfy certain desires...
Song Yu became more and more frightened as she thought about it.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt something touch her.
Song Yu turned her head and saw that the yellow vines had already climbed all over her arms.
"ah--!"
Song Yu screamed in fright. For a moment, she thought she was going to die, and all she could think about was the terrible state she would be in after her death.
However, after she called out for a long time, nothing happened. Huang Sifeng seemed speechless, silently released her, and then quietly withdrew.
But soon it returned, dragging back some wild fruit.
Lin An looked at the fruit on the ground, tested it, and found that it was edible.
