Chapter 12: Major Client Transactions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After more than two hours of hard work, he finally finished planting all the peas.

Jiang Chen had some plans for this time’s planting. He didn’t plant them all together, but rather arranged them in a row and distributed them around the territory.

When they matured in the future, the pea archers would be able to maximize their attacks.

“Plant wars against zombies aren’t for nothing!”

“But it actually takes so long to mature!”

Looking at the progress, the pea seed actually took thirty days to take shape.

This wasn’t Jiang Chen’s ideal time, but he didn’t have enough gold coins to buy fertilizer to shorten the ripening time.

And if he wanted to obtain gold coins, apart from the system’s trading hall, he could only mine mineral materials and exchange them from the system. There were no such minerals in the current resources either.

“Looks like I’ll have to go out and continue to search for more resources!”

Just as Jiang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly had an idea.

He took out the soul shards from the system space.

At this moment, the sound of the plant life system rang out.

“Ding! The host has a Soul Shard. Use it to increase the quality of the seed.”

“Hmm? A Soul Shard can also increase the quality of the seed…”

“Use it!”

Jiang Chen took out all the soul fragments at random. There were nine in total, and each was given to the soil where the nine peas were planted.

“Quality increased to D-rank! (upper limit reached).”

“Time of maturity: 24 days, 23 hours, 34 minutes.”

“The ability will change as the quality increases. I didn’t think that I’d be able to shorten the time by a bit. Not bad!”

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Relying on the system to plant seeds with special abilities was Jiang Chen’s biggest goal at the moment.

If he wanted to develop his territory, he wouldn’t be able to do so without a population. However, the prerequisite was that he had enough strength. Jiang Chen had only seen the tip of the iceberg in this world, and it was still unknown how much danger lay outside.

When more seeds were slowly produced, his territory could develop even better.

There wasn’t a single plant that had matured yet, so Jiang Chen needed money.

He needed large amounts of gold coins to buy fertilizer to shorten the time for the seeds to mature. Otherwise, he’d be in trouble once the novice protection period was over.

Jiang Chen shook his head. He’d only transmigrated for less than three days, and he’d already developed to his current level. He was already ahead of most of the Lords.

As he thought about how to earn gold coins, he arrived at the center of the territory.

As he thought about this, Jiang Chen’s gaze moved slightly.

He looked at the busy crowd in the territory, especially the berries that were being picked back and forth.

After a simple estimation, the berries picked over the past two days were around four hundred sacks.

The berries in the fruit forest were large in size and had a high yield.

Sitting on a simple wooden chair, Jiang Chen opened the chat channel.

The chat channel was very lively. Everyone couldn’t leave the chat channel during this period of time. This was everyone’s only form of entertainment.

In the chat, there were those who shared the fruits of their labor, as well as all sorts of complaints. There was a lot of variety in the content.

But there weren’t many who traded.

Compared to the third day, very few people would directly sell their goods.

Jiang Chen read for a while and immediately posted a post for sale, along with a picture of the berries.

“Natural and harmless berries, delicious but not expensive. Ten gold coins, three sacks of berries of good quality and quantity guaranteed, speed required!”

The chat channel instantly became lively.

“Holy shit, this big brother is awesome. This is good stuff, not only can it satisfy hunger, but it can also replenish water!”

“I’ve been eating dry rations for the past two days, and my mouth is fading. I’ll hurry up and buy two sacks to try.”

“Big brother Jiang is amazing, he’s already put a lot of good stuff up for sale.”

“Big brother, why don’t you impart some experience? Do you have any strategies?”

Jiang Chen smiled lightly as he looked at these, but didn’t respond. There were many posts, and many people who wanted to buy, but most of them were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Soon, the system reminded someone to add a friend to a private chat and noted the identity of the buyer.

It looked like a woman, so she directly expressed her intention to buy.

“Can you check it first?”

“No problem!”Jiang Chen agreed readily and directly traded a few pieces of jam.

He wasn’t worried about others buying for free, since it was a no-cost transaction to begin with. Besides, the first transaction was very important, and he wasn’t afraid that no one would want it if he made a public statement.

The other replied in a short while.

“I’ll take whatever you have!”

Jiang Chen’s heart shook. A big client!

“I don’t have much in stock either. I can give you three hundred sacks.”

The other didn’t think twice before putting in a trade request.

Jiang Chen was a bit shocked in his heart. There was actually someone who was so rich in such a short amount of time. It looked like there was no lack of amazing talents among the lords this time.

There were many lucky people in this world to begin with.

There were also quite a few talents with particularly strong personal abilities.

These people had come to this continent where the strong preyed on the weak and were the true dragons returning to the sea.

He absolutely couldn’t be too arrogant!

Jiang Chen secretly encouraged himself.

Of course, everyone had their own opportunities. Jiang Chen wasn’t envious, but he felt a bit of pressure in his heart.

He directly traded the three hundred sacks of berries and counted them to a total of one thousand gold coins.

“System reminder: you have successfully traded the three hundred sacks of berries. You have received one thousand gold coins.”

The transaction was completed!

Seeing that his gold coins had finally become abundant, Jiang Chen was greatly moved. He didn’t hesitate to exchange all these gold coins for fertilizer to shorten the ripening period.

Jiang Chen opened up his gold coins and saw that there were a total of 1,001 gold coins.

According to the prices in the plant life system store, D-rank phosphate fertilizer was 2 gold coins per serving. It was enough to exchange for 500 servings of phosphate fertilizer now!

He would go and ripen another wave later. This amount of fertilizer was enough to shorten a lot of time.

Time didn’t wait for anyone. After exchanging for 500 servings of phosphate fertilizer, Jiang Chen immediately brought five migrant workers to the planting grounds.

Jiang Chen was required to personally plant the potatoes when planting them, but he could leave the rest of the work to his subjects. This would also save time faster.

Jiang Chen decided to prioritize the cultivation of exploding potatoes.

Under Jiang Chen’s instructions, a few portions of phosphate fertilizer were thrown into the pit one by one before they were buried in some soil to cover it up.

The strength of numbers was greater. It didn’t take long for the 100 portions of potato seeds to be fertilized.

There were still 200 portions left from the 500 portions of phosphate fertilizer.

It wasn’t that Jiang Chen didn’t want to continue, but that the system had notified him when the third portion of phosphate fertilizer was thrown into each potato.

“Phosphate fertilizer saturation 100%. Ripening time: 2 days, 4 hours, 21 minutes.”

“It looks like I can’t add an unlimited amount of phosphate fertilizer to achieve rapid ripening, but the ripening time has been reduced from the original eight days to two days. It’s already greatly exceeded my expectations!”

Seeing the remaining 200 portions of phosphate fertilizer, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate at all as he poured them all into the pea seeds.

The pea seeds were slightly more saturated than the potatoes because the quality of the seeds was different, which determined the upper limit.

The pea shooter’s ripening time had also been reduced to half now. He only needed 15 days.

In a short while, the phosphate fertilizer had been completely used up, and the gold coins had also been used up. Jiang Chen shook his head. He was now back to before liberation!

It was already noon.

“Awooo!”

Suddenly, a melodious wolf howl rang out.

“AWOOO….”
