Chapter 23 The Big Watermelon
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 23 What a big watermelon
The next day, the militia and adventurers were arranged in a mixed manner and stationed at Stonefield Farm. Li Quan brought Jordan and the other two with him.
Along the way, he encountered a small group of kowtowers, and they were easily killed by the soldiers. These kowtowers destroyed the farmhouse and the farm tools, which was very cruel. The soldiers were not timid this time. It was just because after Li Quan returned last night, he exchanged two packs of Level 1 herbal seeds from the system and ripened them in the system plantation. Then Du Han sent the herbs to William to make alchemy potions overnight and distributed them.
With the support of alchemy potions, the militia became more brave and their combat power overcame the dog-headed man.
The reason why Li Quan only uses Level 1 herbal seeds to plant because it is too wasteful to think about Level 3 seeds. Although the yield of Level 3 seeds is relatively high, about half the yield than Level 1 seeds, the exchange price is three times that of Level 1 seeds. The biggest difference between the two is the growth rate. However, with a systematic plantation, Li Quan can also ripen the Level 1 seeds overnight. There is no need to waste valuable contribution points and use Level 3 seeds.
At Stonefield Farm, Li Quan saw his primary purpose of coming this time.
The Stonefield farm was planted with watermelons, which was beyond Li Quan's expectation. He thought that the farm would have to grow all kinds of vegetables no matter what. He misjudged the people here. At least the farms around Shanjin Town were all single-type plants. The Stonefield family has grown watermelons for generations, and only watermelons are planted.
Conversely, the Makolon Farm, which is not far away, is said to have planted grapes and only planted grapes.
"Damn it, it's so big!"
When Li Quan saw the watermelon in the farmland, he had never seen such a big watermelon. This is really World of Warcraft, even the watermelon is very magical. The huge watermelon in front of Li Quan is at least seven to eight times larger than the watermelons sold in the market that are common on the earth!
If the watermelon is cut from the middle and the watermelon meat is cut off, the remaining melon skin can be used as a bathtub to take a bath. Li Quan thought in surprise. This is not an exaggeration at all.
In the distance, outside the farm, militia and adventurers are building simple fortifications. Tonight, soldiers will stay around the farm for a night, and will carry out carpet harvests along the direction of the Fargodi mine tomorrow morning to clear out nearby dogheads.
Seeing Li Quan admiring the watermelon, Aunt Stonefield stood beside her, with a look of complacent and pride on her face and said to Li Quan: "The watermelons on our Stonefield Farm are very popular among Stormfield celebrities and dignitaries. These watermelons often appear at high-class gatherings. The farm has a business license issued by the Stormfield royal family. Every king likes the watermelons grown by Stonefield."
"How long have these watermelons grown?" Li Quan asked curiously.
"In one winter, you can almost grow up this big."
"Awesome." Li Quan praised sincerely. If this watermelon has seeds, it will definitely be the king of melons to be brought back to the earth. This variety grows big and fast, and there is no one else. But after thinking about it, it seems that even if it is taken back, it will be of no use. You can't make much money with this thing.
No matter how expensive this watermelon is, it costs thousands of yuan per piece, but it has to be sold for dozens of dollars to make it comparable to a primary healing potion. And this thing is just a novelty. If you sell too much, it is not surprising, and the price will drop accordingly. Li Quan is not interested in spending so much energy on selling watermelons. His ambition is not to be a melon farmer.
So in Li Quan's opinion, it was a waste of time to come today. It was a pity that he failed to find crops with cultivation value as he wished.
In the evening, a large number of dog-headed people appeared. With the effective resistance of the fortifications, militia and adventurers successfully blocked several waves of incoming dog-headed people outside the farm. With the support of potions, no casualties were found, and the results were brilliant.
According to Aunt Stonefield, these vicious kobolds not only destroyed farmhouses, farm tools, but also burned houses. They were all evil. This kind of humanoid creature cannot get along with and must be killed.
Du Han even considered whether to completely wipe out the Fargody Mine. After all, with Li Quan's large amount of herbal support, Du Han has the confidence.
For two days, Du Han led a militia to clear out the dog knots around the farm. The two teams were also sent one after another, clearing out a large number of dog knots along the way towards the mine cave. The dog knots' threat to Stonefield farm was basically lifted. Aunt Stonefield thanked Du Han very much. Although the money was paid by her and Makolon's families, if she did not have these brave soldiers, she would have no choice but to do anything.
The next day, the mission was successfully completed, and Du Han had already led the team to leave in the morning. Li Quan planned to take Jordan and the other two and go to Makolon Farm to take a look. He thought that he should get a watermelon before leaving, which was a sample. So he took Jordan and the other two to find Aunt Stonefield and explained his purpose.
"Buy watermelon? Of course, how much is it? How big is it?"
"No, you misunderstood. I didn't want watermelon, I wanted to buy a watermelon seedling, the whole watermelon with vines."
"What do you want it?" Aunt Stonefield asked in confusion.
"Of course I have my own purpose."
"That won't work." Aunt Stonefield shook her head and said, "We never sell melon seedlings to the outside world. This is the secret of our Stonefield farm. I'm sorry, I can't sell it."
Secret? It's exaggerating. Even if there are no seedlings, the watermelon seeds can still be used as seeds after treatment. This must be just an excuse. Li Quan didn't know what the other party wanted to sell it to him for the purpose. But he was determined to win. Although this watermelon has no development value, Li Quan would not let it go as long as it was a new plant sample.
"It's better. If you offer a price, I can buy it at a high price, or exchange it for something else."
As he was speaking, a middle-aged woman ran over panting and immediately shouted to Aunt Stonefield, "No, no! The wild boar is back!"
"Oh my God!" Aunt Stonefield covered her face in disbelief, "Go away quickly, call everyone, bring your weapons!" After saying that, the two left in a hurry.
"What wild boar?" Li Quan looked at Jordan behind him inquiring.
"I think it's the stone-toothed boar." Jordan replied.
"Yes, sir. It must be a stone-toothed boar. I bet." said Bird, "the wild beast in the Elvin Forest has the most common ones. Although they are not willing to attack humans, they like the most, well, to gnaw watermelons."
Jordan, Johnson and Bird all looked strange.
Li Quan remembered that he had just traveled to Azeroth and encountered a wild boar in this forest. At that time, the wild boar actually ignored him. It must be what Bird mentioned.
The stone-toothed wild boar doesn't like to attack actively, but likes to eat watermelons. Li Quan understands the reason why Aunt Stonefield is so nervous.
"Stone-toothed wild boars are very rampant in the forest and they usually destroy melon fields. I guess the arrival of the dog-headed man drove away the stone-toothed wild boars." Bird said.
Magician Johnson nodded in agreement: "Now that the dog-headed man has been driven away, the stone-toothed wild boar has returned."
"Sir, what are we going to do?" Jordan asked Li Quan for instructions.
"Let's go, let's go over and take a look." Li Quan thought this was a good opportunity.
Next to the melon field, Aunt Stonefield covered her face and cried. She looked sadly at the large group of wild boars in the melon field, greedily eating the plump watermelons, and said in tears: "I drove away the knotted man, but the wild boar is back. The harvest this year is finished!"
Around her were the rest of the Stonefield family, both men and women, holding "weapons", pitchforks, or hoes to plow the fields. But they all dared not walk into the melon fields with fear.
Seeing Li Quan and a few people coming, Aunt Stonefield quickly grabbed Li Quan and begged, "Sir, your subordinates are adventurers, right? Please help us to drive away these hateful robbers!"
Li Quan looked at the melon field, and there were at least twenty or thirty wild boars, all of which were huge. These stone-toothed wild boars had amazing destructive power. They not only chewed watermelons, but also seriously damaged the melon vines. The destroyed melon vines will never be able to produce watermelons next year. If they are not driven away, the farm will definitely be done.
"It's okay to drive them away. But I asked to get a complete watermelon vine." Li Quan asked.
"Of course!" If you don't agree at this time, the entire melon field will be over. Aunt Stonefield will not care about a melon vine.
Li Quan nodded and looked at Jordan and the other two, and he asked, "Can you deal with it?"
"No problem." The three of them said in unison.
Jordan, Johnson and Bird immediately took out their weapons. Jordan held a big sword with rusty on the sword. Johnson took out a magic wand from his arms, which looked like a branch picked up from the haystack. Bird was empty, but he didn't know if Li Quan was dazzled, but he actually saw a faint aperture in Bird's hand.
Li Quan looked at the three of them with interest. This was his first time to watch the adventurer take action close-up. He also wanted to see how powerful the adventurers were in the real world of Azeroth.
Jordan shouted loudly, and suddenly rushed up with a very fast speed. He instantly charged in front of a stone-toothed wild boar that was lowering his head to eat watermelons. He set up a sword with both hands and stabbed him head-on.
The sword was pulled out, and blood splattered everywhere. Accompanied by the whine of "Aowu--", the wild boar fell to death in an instant. Killed in seconds!
Li Quan opened his eyes wide in surprise. If this scene is in the game, it should be called level suppression, which proves that Jordan's level is far superior to this stone-toothed wild boar. Of course, this is the real world, which is very different from the game. Li Quan could see that in fact, Jordan's ability to kill this stone-toothed wild boar in seconds with one sword means that his skills are very good and his power is just right. Of course, the most important thing is to stab the wild boar's brain with one sword.
