Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System - Chapter 145: Peaceful Day
Chapter 145: Peaceful Day
At the same time, what he had just experienced gave him some ideas for the structure of Territory 2.
While in his main territory, he also thought of creating, such as boxing training grounds, gyms, and shooting ranges.
Right now, he’s only thinking about developing Territory 2, but he doesn’t have a good idea of how exactly to do it.
Vikram took out the paper and pen dropped by the killed creatures and wrote down his thoughts one by one, so that he wouldn’t forget them later.
After finishing his notes, Vikram remembered that Alex had given him something, although he didn’t require it, but Alex still sended him.
It was a furniture set.
“High-End Fabric Furniture Set: Includes a long sofa, a single sofa, matching throw pillows, a footrest, and a wooden coffee table. Each piece of furniture uses high-quality fabric and wood, with a soft and delicate touch.”
“Note: This sofa has a retractable adjustment function, allowing the host to adjust it according to their leaning habits. The sofa also has a heating function, allowing the host to enjoy leisure time without getting too cold.”
He had initially thought it would be another duplicate item, but now, looking at its various functions and Supporting facilities facilities, Vikram felt that his old sofa could retire.
Leaving aside the other matching items, just the seat heating function was what he needed most right now.
“Speaking of which, if this sofa’s material were even better.”
Vikram immediately took the furniture set and headed out, wanting to install all this furniture to add a touch of beauty in his Shelter, it was time for his old Sofa to retire.
After he arrived outside, he saw Divya, Sophia, and Anjali, who had been lying on the sofa chatting in the group.
“What happened?” They asked, looking at him.
“Follow me,” He said, and brought them towards the farmland.
Vikram hadn’t been here for some days. The farmland had not been in use for the past two days.
The chicks raised inside were also looked after by Divya.
Now, entering the production area again, Vikram found that the several chicks, originally with sooty black feathers, had all grown considerably.
At least from their size and gradually fuller feathers, they had all, without exception, reached adulthood.
Among the seven chicks Vikram brought back from the Kabold Spirit Ruins.
Only one had brightly colored feathers, and from its fully developed comb, it was clear that this was the only rooster.
Even the baby goat has become a complete goat.
As they approached, that rooster instinctively faced them, looking displeased.
The other hens also cooperatively stood behind the rooster, although Vikram hadn’t yet seen any eggs in the chicken coop he had casually built.
However, the hens were all well-nourished, and their full abdomens clearly indicated that they would be laying eggs soon.
Skipping a few chickens, the three entered the farmland. Two weeks had passed since the first harvest of cabbage.
“First, let’s till this land. Then, if there are any vegetables you want to eat, you can suggest them.”
“If they’re suitable, we’ll plant them all. No need to consider cabbage.”
He excluded cabbage first, as the hundred kilos of cabbage in the warehouse would last them for a long time.
According to Vikram’s plan, potatoes were the most suitable vegetable for the current situation.
They were not only nutritious but could also serve as a staple food in the Shelter.
As for rice, he wasn’t considering it for now, mainly because growing rice was too troublesome.
This ordinary farmland couldn’t be used for it; if he wanted to grow it, he would have to specially reclaim a paddy field for it.
And he was going to use Territory 2 area. But with only a few of them, it was not possible.
He planned to use half of the farmland for potatoes this time and consider other suitable crops for the other half.
In the farmland, after he finished speaking, he handed each of them a hoe, demonstrated how to use it briefly, and they quickly learned to till the soil.
Although his Earth Mage Sprout can easily do this, since they were bored, it was a good activity to maintain health and timepass.
Seeing no problems, Vikram together with them, started working.

After some work, he saw that Pinku, who hadn’t been close to him for a long time, was still sitting in a corner of the farmland in an egg-hatching posture, refusing to move no matter how much the two girlfriends tried to shoo her away.
Her eyes frequently cast disdainful glances at the three girls.
“Vikram, your chicken is almost a spirit, isn’t it? I feel like it just rolled its eyes at me?” Divya rubbed her eyes, a little disbelieving what she saw.
“It definitely rolled its eyes! I saw it too! Such a sassy little hen, Vikram, let’s stew it tonight.”
“We can drink some chicken soup to help me grow taller.” Anjali made a face at Pinku and suggested to Vikram, who had just entered the greenhouse.
“Go away, go away! Stew it? Why don’t we stew you?”
“This precious chicken of mine is almost a legendary Fortune Spirit Chicken. You couldn’t even buy one if you sold yourself.” As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up Pinku.
The two were also surprised to find that the hen, which had pecked at them even when they got close, was incredibly docile in Vikram’s arms and even rubbed her chicken head against Vikram.
“This is an old senior in the territory. Besides me, it has the most seniority in the entire territory. None of you are allowed to bully it, understand?”
Although he had neglected Pinku a bit recently, Vikram still remembered the days they shared hardships together.
Now that Anjali, this little fool, wanted to harm Pinku, he naturally wouldn’t agree.
Perhaps because of Pinku’s high grade, she never stayed with her kind in the chicken coop.
She always quietly stayed in the greenhouse to keep warm, and Vikram, respecting her wishes, had made her a nest in the corner using his old cotton clothes.
“Alright, since the last plot of farmland was also taken care of. All that’s left is to sow the seeds.” Divya said, didn’t care about his behaviour.
Upon hearing this, Vikram first scanned the farmland, then nodded.
“I plan to plant potatoes in half of the farmland. For the rest of the farmland, do you have any good ideas?”
—
“I…I’ll go first. I love corn, so let’s save some farmland to grow corn.” Anjali raised her fair right hand like a child.
Before Divya could speak, he revealed the crop he wanted to grow.
Upon hearing this, Vikram stroked his chin; he was actually quite interested in the crop Anjali had casually mentioned.
Considering the scarcity of resources in the wasteland world, corn, with its many significant advantages, is indeed a relatively ideal crop.
In terms of yield alone, this crop is comparable to potatoes. Furthermore, corn is also a high-carbohydrate food, making it perfectly suitable as a staple food.
Not to mention its advantages such as drought resistance and low fertilizer requirements.
“Okay, that’s a good option.”
Perhaps Anjali simply thought it tasted good and didn’t consider all that, but Vikram only thought about it briefly before immediately agreeing with her idea.
This stuff can be a perfect substitute for potatoes when you get tired of them; at least before he started growing rice, he couldn’t think of a better alternative.
He then looked at Divya, who frowned and asked Vikram.
“How about peanuts and tomatoes? One of these crops can be used to make oil, and the other has a short growth cycle and is highly adaptable.”
“There’s not much land left, so planting a little bit will be enough.” After saying her idea, Divya looked at Vikram with hopeful eyes.
Without much thought, he said, “Alright, these are the crops. Now I’ll give you a task: use the minimum amount of food to exchange for these seeds.”
As he spoke, he took out two kg of meat from the warehouse, which was more than enough to exchange for the aforementioned seeds.
Vikram’s idea was to let the two shelter members purchase items at the market themselves, and once they were familiar with the market, similar purchases could be handled directly by them in the future.
Even if they themselves were not in the shelter, they wouldn’t have been completely fooled by other unscrupulous survivors, resulting in the loss of all the supplies in the warehouse.
After some time, the expected situation of all the food being consumed did not occur.
When it came to dinner, even Anjali, who was usually the easiest to fool, haggled with the seed seller for a long time.
In the end, they obtained 200g of each type of seed with less than a kg of food.
It’s not too much. After removing half to plant potatoes, the remaining arable land is less than 30 square meters, which is enough to cover the entire arable land.
Sow potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and peanuts in a ratio of 1/0.5/0.25/0.25 in the soil.
After taking out a high-tech terminal from the corner of the greenhouse and explaining its usage and some planting-related matters to them in detail, the group returned to the living room.
Night arrived and Anjali, the only cook in the shelter, naturally went into the kitchen.
Divya wasn’t good at this, but she still went in to wash and chop vegetables. Sophia also followed them.
