After opening the newspaper, Zou Zhuo was surprised to find that it turned out to be a gameplay instruction.

"Crops can be harvested after planting them on the ground?"

"After the harvest, can I sell the crops for money?"

"You can also buy all kinds of props, including fertilizer seed decorations, etc.?"

The gameplay of the farm is not complicated, it is enough to write it in a newspaper, Chen Mo deliberately introduced the corresponding gameplay to the newspaper, just to be more in line with the environment and not let the player feel playful.

Of course, players can still perform the same actions in the game without reading the newspaper, but that will require some fumbling.

According to the instructions in the newspaper, Zou Zhuo first went to the thatched hut to get some seeds, and then went to the back of the thatched hut to get a few farm tools.

Farm implements are very simple, just hoes, shovels, water cans and watering cans. According to the game instructions, the hoe is used to weed, the shovel is used to remove the withered crops, the water bottle is used to water, and the watering can is used to spray medicine.

As for planting and picking fruits, this operation can be done by hand, without the help of agricultural tools.

Zou Zhuo took the seeds and farm tools to the side of the farmland.

At this time, four plots of farmland have been reclaimed, and the rest are uncultivated. Zou Zhuo scattered the seeds into the four fields, and small pits appeared in the ground to indicate that the seeds had been planted.

And that's it.

Zou Zhuo was a little surprised, because this operation is so simple, just go to the side of the farmland and scatter the seeds, there is no need to dig the soil or water.

However, he thought about it again, and this also made sense, after all, this is a soothing mode, which is meant to relax the player's mind, and it must be as easy as possible to simplify the relevant operations.

It's just sowing seeds and harvesting vegetables, which is basically negligible for the player's mental pressure.

After sowing the seeds, Zou Zhuo walked around the thatched hut again.

There is a small warehouse next to the thatched hut, which is obviously where the crops are kept. However, the game guide in the newspaper says that there will be shops and some other buildings, but it doesn't seem to have been unlocked yet.

Zou Zhuo returned to the rocking chair and lay down, picked a soothing piece of music, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Not to mention, in this atmosphere, there is really a feeling of returning to the countryside. The sun is warm and the brightness is just right, under the shade of the parasols. It doesn't feel glaring at all.

Under the breeze and the soothing melody, Zou Zhuo felt as if he was in a real farm, as if the turf could be reached, and he could even smell the green grassland.

Of course, some of this is all illusions, Chen Mo created such an image of a farm, so when the player is relaxed, he will naturally make up some other elements that he doesn't actually have.

After squinting for a while, Zou Zhuo opened his eyes and found that the crops on the land had sprouted.

"Huh? So fast. ”

Zou Zhuo was a little surprised that this crop was growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

But he quickly figured it out, after all, this is a game, if it's really the same as the real world, and the crops take half a year to mature, then it's still a fart.

Zou Zhuo roughly estimated that these seeds would most likely be ripe and picked in a few hours. But he didn't know exactly how many hours it was, and he couldn't tell just by the growth state of this young shoot.

At this moment, weeds grew on one of the plots, while the other became dry and cracked, which was noticeably different from the others.

"Well, come alive!"

Zou Zhuo stood up and picked up the kettle and hoe from the side. The dry land is watered first, and then the weeds are removed from another plot.

This operation is still very simple, but Zou Zhuo feels as if he is really weeding the farmland, and his heart is full of a sense of accomplishment.

Looking at the growing crop shoots, Zou Zhuo suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, I really hope that these crops will mature soon, and I can't wait for the moment of harvest.

At this moment, a small line of text appeared in an inconspicuous place in the field of vision: Congratulations on completing your first weeding, and the system will give you four bags of fertilizer.

"Huh? And fertilizers? ”

Zou Zhuo came to the thatched hut and found four extra bags of fertilizer under the shed behind the thatched hut.

The bag of fertilizer is very small, about the size of a packet of salt. Zou Zhuo took the fertilizer in his hand and looked at the name written on it.

Two bags of black fertilizer, two bags of gray fertilizer.

Seeing the name of the fertilizer, Zou Zhuo suddenly had a bad premonition.

But he didn't think too much about it, and took the four bags of fertilizer to the side of the farmland.

The newspaper wrote about the use of fertilizer, as long as the fertilizer was sprinkled on the land.

These two bags of fertilizer have different effects on different crops. For some low-grade crops, the longer time can be shortened, and for some high-grade crops, the shortened growth time is less.

At that time, it is necessary to use more advanced fertilizers.

Zou Zhuo now grows basic crops, carrots and white radish, and gray fertilizer can reduce the growth time of these crops by three hours, while black fertilizer can reduce the growth time of these crops by six hours.

Zou Zhuo directly sprinkled four bags of fertilizer on four pieces of land. Crops that have been sprinkled with ash fertilizer are almost ripe, but they cannot be picked yet. The crops sprinkled with black chemical fertilizer are directly in a state of maturity, and the huge white radishes and carrots are about to emerge from the ground.

"Hmm...... So is the ripening time between 3 and 6 hours? ”

Zou Zhuo roughly deduced that carrots and white radishes are both primary crops, and their ripening time should be the same, the only difference is that carrot seeds are expensive and expensive to sell, while white radishes are cheaper.

"So...... Both of these turnips should take more than three hours to ripen and less than six hours. ”

Zou Zhuo came to the side of the two ripe carrot fields, squatted down and gently pulled out the carrots.

There are many carrots in each field, planted neatly. Zou Zhuo pulled it out quickly, and it was done in a short time.

The carrots still have some dirt on them, which looks very realistic. However, after Zou Zhuo threw them into the warehouse, the mud on the carrots disappeared automatically, and they were neatly piled up.

Zou Zhuo shoveled the crop debris from the two plots of land and planted new crops.

At this point, there is another very inconspicuous system prompt: Detected that you have already harvested crops, do you want to go to the store to sell them?

"That means you can sell it for money, right? Sell it decisively. Zou Zhuo did not hesitate at all.

A brand new building was instantly erected in the open space next to it, which seemed to be a simple commissary, and the architectural style matched the scene very well.

There are no NPCs in it, it's all automated. Zou Zhuo put this pile of ripe carrots in the store, and it was automatically exchanged for system currency.

Next to the store, there is a very simple ATM that shows the amount of currency that Zou Zhuo currently has, and you can also check some transaction records on it.

You can also check the prices of different props in the store, of course, most of the props Zou Zhuo can't afford at present.

However, to Zou Zhuo's great surprise, there was an interface for exchanging game currency for real items on this ATM.

Zou Zhuo was shocked, most games only do recharge, that is, exchanging real money for game currency, and he has never heard of exchanging game currency for real items.

There are some prizes with lower value, such as top-up cards. There are also some prizes of higher value, even computers and VR game pods. Of course, the exchange of these relatively high-value things into game currency is sky-high, and Zou Zhuo doesn't even dare to think about it.

But it is possible to exchange in-game currency for physical goods, which is already very shocking.

Zou Zhuo instantly realized that this game was anything but simple.
