Chapter 16 Harvest and Ripening Characteristics
The easiest way is naturally to use the power of grass-type elves to cultivate and plant elves tree fruits.
The so-called elves tree fruit is a fruit that contains magical power like elves. It can not only be eaten directly by elves, but also used to refine and make elves potions and food products.
Different fruits have different effects, some have specific healing effects, while others can enhance the potential and strength of the elves.
It can be said to be an excellent natural resource.
When Lu You was online just now, he also checked information about the elves tree fruits and had a rough understanding of the market conditions of tree fruits.
First of all, although there are abundant varieties of tree fruits in this world, and there are even some new varieties of tree fruits that he has never heard of, the types of tree fruits that are currently discovered are obviously still very incomplete.
Especially for some powerful and rare tree fruits such as lanza fruit and star peach fruit, no relevant records and information can be found.
In addition, some rare and powerful fruits were discovered, but later disappeared, leaving only a few records and legends.
There are also some that have been discovered and are also planted and sold on the market, but are regarded as ordinary edible tree fruits, and are mysterious tree fruits that have not been discovered in their true effects.
Overall, the fruit industry is still a blue ocean.
Those high-level and powerful tree fruits are excellent nutritional products for elves. In addition, it is extremely difficult to cultivate and plant, and it has always been in short supply in the market, so the prices are also very high.
For example, the lemon fruit that Lu You ate in the morning, which was as sour as lemon, was a commonly used tree fruit that was determined to make the elves grow stronger. The market price is 20 to 30 yuan per piece.
But in fact, a low-grade tree fruit contains not many nutrients and useful substances, and its actual effect is not as good as a bottle of moo moo milk with added ingredients.
Only intermediate or even higher-level elf tree fruits can truly have stronger effects, but the corresponding price is much more expensive.
An intermediate lemon fruit costs hundreds of dollars, and a high-end one costs at least nearly a thousand dollars.
What's more, although the effects of medium and high-end fruits are strong enough, they can not be effective quickly by taking one or two.
Therefore, if Lu You can plant and cultivate excellent quality fruits, it is easier to make money.
Lu You has the all-round characteristics. With the help of turquoise stone slabs, he can simulate the characteristics of all grass-type elves, and among the few grass-type elves, he has a rare hidden characteristic "harvest".
With the magical effect of harvesting characteristics, grass-type elves can cultivate and make elves tree fruits they have eaten.
After being transformed into the 'harvest' characteristic, Lu You instilled the energy he drew into the grass ring on his left hand, and soon gave birth to a small sapling.
With the abundant energy supply, it took less than half an hour to grow the saplings gradually to more than half a meter high, and they accelerated the entire process of germination, growth, flowering and fruiting. Finally, several small lemon fruits grew.
Because these lemon fruits are quickly ripened by Lu You with the ability of "harvest" characteristics, they consume more energy during the growth and maturity. In fact, the nutrients contained in each fruit are converted into energy of about one thousand points.
That little bit of weak effect may be useful to newborn elves like Lu You who are in childhood and have weak strength, and they are still in the case of taking enough amounts.
After becoming an elf, Lu You's taste has also changed greatly. This lemon fruit can also be regarded as a super enhanced version of lemon, with an extremely strong sour taste.
Generally, humans can become Master Yan Yi after taking a bite, and they regret it in pain.
But Lu You not only could accept the abnormal sour taste, but also felt that the taste was a bit sour and refreshing. He ate several of them crunchyly.
As a few lemon fruits were eaten, the strong acid solution greatly accelerated the digestion of food, making his stomach a little hungry when he had just eaten his breakfast.
This feeling of hunger is one of the effects of lemon fruit.
In a hungry state, the training effect of the elves will be slightly improved, and it will also make the elves have a better appetite and can eat more food.
Because he needed to hide his whereabouts, Lu You naturally did not carry more food. Fortunately, his hunger was not strong and it was still negligible, so he didn't care much.
After eating the first five and six lemon fruits that were cultivated and ripened with the "harvest" characteristics, Lu You continued to cultivate the second lemon fruit while training.
When the second lemon fruit plant was ripe, he picked the fruit from the seedlings, used these lemon fruit as the core to release parasitic seeds and rooting moves, and used them as seeds to plant new plants.
At the same time, Lu You also replaced the harvesting characteristics with the "maturation" characteristics.
With the magical effect of the 'ripening' characteristic, it can catalyze the fruits to become more mature, thus greatly improving the effectiveness of the fruits.
Simply put, it is equivalent to improving the quality of the tree fruit.
Coupled with the nutrients and energy drawn from the earth by the rooting moves, as well as the optimal plant growth environment provided by the green grass field moves, Lu You greatly improves the success rate and effect of the 'mature' characteristics.
Although compared with the primary lemon fruits directly cultivated with the "harvest" characteristics, it took more time, energy and energy from growth to flowering and fruiting, after more than an hour of cultivation and catalysis, Lu You still successfully obtained three lemon fruits of higher quality.
There are two other plants that fail unexpectedly during the cultivation and growth process.
The success rate of up to 60% has already made Lu You very satisfied.
I picked a lemon fruit with a brighter yellow color and could smell a rich fragrance that made my eyes sour before I put it in my mouth.
Lu You tried to take a bite and the taste of the flesh was crisper than it was just now. It was not like the soft fruits like lemon or orange, but rather the taste of apples.
After biting it, the extremely sour juice sputtered in his mouth, making Lu You unable to help frowning and squint his eyes, making him so sour that he exploded!
I'm afraid that normal humans can explode on the spot after taking a bite.
Fortunately, Lu You is not a human being, and the unique taste preferences caused by the elf's physique make him a little like the sourness of the stimulating taste buds. He can accept it even if he feels so sore that he is a little twisted.
After squinting his eyes and eating the whole lemon fruit, Lu You roughly estimated that the nutrients contained in this fruit were about the sum of five or six primary fruits!
In terms of quality, it can be regarded as an intermediate fruit.
