Even after extensive use, it still operated well, with airflow stronger than the newer fan he had purchased later. Ultimately, it could not keep pace with the widespread adoption of modern air conditioning and was left unused.
Upon hearing this reminder, Zhao Yong was unfazed, simply reveling in his newly acquired prize.
Do not underestimate this half-acre of land; it is an incredibly simple method to transform previously uncultivated barren land into fertile, arable land. With just a flick of the wrist, the land underwent its first metamorphosis. When used for agricultural production, this tool could almost be called Shen Lan.
Zhao Yong showcased his treasure, drawing envious glances from those around him in the Zhao Family.
Hmph, are you jealous? This is the reward I earned for my contributions to the Immortal. He said proudly. However, as soon as someone approached to observe more closely, he quickly concealed it, fearing that his treasure might be snatched away.
Zhao An, standing nearby, shook his head helplessly. "Zhao Yong, doing this will only anger the clan leader. Haven't you noticed the Immortal's recognition of your reward?"
Zhao Yong immediately understood and nodded gratefully.
This simple farming tool not only transformed undeveloped land in his hands but also brought boundless vitality to the village. It was this seemingly ordinary change that made Zhao Yong the center of attention in the entire village.
For Zhao Yong, this was not only a way to repay past help but also a leap forward in future farming endeavors. Under the watchful eyes of the villagers surrounding Zhao Family Village, Zhao Yong tightly held that ordinary Iron Hoe in his arms, becoming the focal point of everyone's gaze, each pair of eyes filled with envy.
Are you envious? This is something I earned through my service to the Immortal Sir.
Zhao Yong proudly showcased the treasure in his hands to those around him. However, when he noticed some individuals seemingly intending to approach and investigate, he immediately tightened his grip on the Iron Hoe, fearing it might be snatched away.
At that moment, Zhao An helplessly walked over to his side and gently patted Zhao Yong as a warning.
"Chief, why did you hit me? Do you think I'm not as good as they are?" Zhao Yong said innocently, rubbing the back of his head.
"You really are a bit slow. After receiving a gift from Immortal Sir, shouldn’t you express your gratitude first?" Zhao An shook his head with a sigh.
Hearing this, Zhao Yong seemed to suddenly realize something. He straightened his posture and, holding the Iron Hoe, bowed in the direction of Immortal Sir. "Thank you, Immortal Sir, for the Iron Hoe!"
Yun Xiao Yi smiled and nodded in response. "Don’t take it to heart. Since it was given to you, I hope you will use it well."
Zhao Yong nodded vigorously, secretly resolving not to let this precious gift go to waste. With the support of this cultivated land and irrigation source, all that was left was the final piece: how to grow unique crops from these real-world seeds here.
Thus, Yun Xiao Yi took out a few Wheat seeds from her bag and approached the freshly tilled soil. She gently scattered them, allowing them to merge perfectly with the earth.
Soon, green sprouts began to emerge from the ground, signaling the arrival of new life. For players well-versed in the game, this transformation was both mysterious and exciting.
The Wheat growing in the virtual world undergoes a lengthy cycle of eight stages; even in optimal conditions, it takes a considerable amount of time to harvest. In contrast, this could mean that ripe Wheat crops could be obtained within days in the real world.
Considering that real-world Wheat can be sown in spring or autumn with varying maturation times, even comparing it to fast-growing spring Wheat still leaves one in awe of its near-miraculous speed.
As for yield, further observation would be needed to determine that.
After finishing the planting of Wheat, Yun Xiao Yi then took out several carrot seeds from her bag and scattered them using the same method.
In an instant, tender green carrot shoots peeked above the surface. According to data from the game, carrots have a growth time similar to that of Wheat and sometimes even faster, reflecting characteristics observed in real-world carrots.
Finally, the last crop to be planted was Sugarcane. Although the conditions for planting Sugarcane were similar to those for Wheat and carrots, they were not entirely the same.
Sugarcane is not picky about soil quality. It can thrive in Grass Turf, Soil Blocks, sand, and even Charcoal Soil, Quartz Sand, and Red Sand as its planting base. The most crucial requirement is the presence of water nearby. Without a water source, Sugarcane may wither away.
In terms of real-world time, Sugarcane grows about one meter per day, which is even faster than bamboo in reality. However, compared to bamboo in Minecraft, it falls short; the latter can grow one meter in just four hours when measured against real time.
This growth rate raises a thought for the future: once I grow taller, I should be mindful of where I sit, as bamboo might sprout up unexpectedly. It’s possible that at first there would be no issue, but during a bathroom break, the bamboo could interfere.
After planting this batch of crops, Yun Xiao Yi did not continue to sow new seeds but fell into deep contemplation. If I could make real-life crops behave like those in Minecraft, would ordinary people be able to achieve this?
Then, Yun Xiao Yi waved to a nearby villager from Zhao Jia Village, calling for a comrade to come over.
