Chapter 577 - 423: My Otherworld Life, The Future Is Promising!

The journey back was smooth.

No mutant sheep encountered, nor any other mutant creatures blocking the way.

Without Bai, Meng, and other Little Ice Lizards accompanying him, this seemed like a first.

However, Lin Yue indeed didn’t drive too fast, always keeping a shotgun and MP5 Submachine Gun close at hand.

Of course, the Backpack Flame Sprayer was always ready and strapped on his back.

If there were any sudden attacks, he could fly into the sky to evade at the fastest speed.

Seeing the towering city walls not far away, Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Arriving at the large warehouse behind the shelter, he placed everything from the Storage Space except for nitre and stone materials, then went to the location close to the city walls where he had built four medium-sized warehouses and placed the nitre well.

"What’s next... Oh, let the Little Ice Lizards collect the vegetables and check how the vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse are growing."

Before heading to the Petroleum River side, Lin Yue decided to first check the growth of vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse.

Speaking of which, this glass greenhouse, he seemed to have visited only once a day nearly, at the start he might have wished to live inside there.

He opened the door and lifted the curtain, stepped inside.

It was still quite cool inside, even a bit cold.

This wasn’t for any other reason but the outside temperature indeed dropped.

Lin Yue closed the water curtain fan and opened the sunshade net, then the temperature inside slowly began rising from 16 degrees Celsius.

Looking towards the planting area, it was already a sea of green.

"Not bad, the feather cabbage and chives could be harvested soon, tomatoes, beans, bell peppers, lettuce, they seem ready by tomorrow. As for potatoes... Huh? Bloomed already? Seems like they’ve grown quite a bit!"

Potatoes blooming meant they weren’t far from maturity.

The bizarre crop planting rules of the Otherworld shortened the months-long growth period to just a few days.

Even potatoes, which have quite a lengthy growth period, were reduced to just about three days!

Looks like, at the earliest tomorrow, latest by the day after tomorrow, he could enjoy crispy fries!

"The future is promising." Lin Yue remarked idly, then turned to look at the fruit planting boxes.

The seventy tropical fruit planting boxes were no longer bare like the previous day.

Now, they’ve grown from seeds into seedlings!

"Whoa, pineapples grow this big in a day? And each pot’s seedlings split in five different directions? These bananas are already one and a half meters tall, gosh. What tree is this again? Right, it’s red guava, and next to it is wax apple? They’ve both grown quite tall too! Lychees, mangoes are also growing well, could they be harvested in about a week? Hold on, is this coconut? How is it three meters tall in just two days?"

In the tropical fruit planting zone, Lin Yue felt like he was in constant amazement.

Indeed, these tropical fruit plants each have incredibly impressive growth.

However, the pots indeed seem a bit too small.

For healthy growth, perhaps it’s time to consider bigger, deeper pots?

"Hmm, based on usual understanding of these trees, should I at least make them pots two meters high? Or wait, are pots even appropriate?"

Lin Yue glanced at the planting platform, had some ideas but then shook his head.

If each pot required twenty square meters of growth space, seventy pots would need fourteen hundred square meters.

It certainly takes up a lot of space.

After all, this greenhouse only has a space of thirty-six hundred square meters.

And now nearly over a quarter of the area is occupied by the planting platform.

If these tropical fruits took up all that space, let alone other things, the soil required would indeed be a large number.

Seems like, temporarily until a second greenhouse could be established, there’s a need for simplification.

After trading some vegetables and fish for a large amount of wood, Lin Yue immediately began the new planting box modifications.

"Then, let’s follow the just-had idea to make them as large as possible."

Having thought it out, Lin Yue quickly connected two-meter wooden boards to form a four-meter square frame, with the height reaching two meters.

Then, fixed it with wire surrounding!

[You have obtained the ultra-large planting box design diagram!]

Great, the design diagram is acquired!

Then...

After using the design diagram, with the disappearance of materials, a much more refined, robust, and aesthetically pleasing planting box was born!

"Indeed, the ones crafted by the system are sturdier and prettier than the ones I make." Lin Yue was genuinely grateful to the system in this regard.

Without this convenient feature, crafting these plant holders would consume considerable effort and time.

What he lacked most were exactly these two elements.

There were too many things to deal with.

After finishing this, he had to check on the chickens and fish, then brief Bai and the others, then head to the Petroleum River Sub-Base...

This was just part of today.

He hadn’t visited Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain for a long time, and not only that, the Underground Ruins and Secret Realm also remained unattended.
