Ch54.1 - People Work Hard When Spring Comes Early (Part One)

It took Cui QiChao about two days to adapt, but he wasn’t really that affected regardless. He decided he would supplement himself with more glucose and have something easier for his system to digest. It didn’t even matter if his clothes were dirty, he could just wash them and take a bath after becoming sweaty.

Besides, it wasn’t as if he was dying, so why shouldn’t he work? Cui QiChao’s attention was completely shifted to the field as if he had given himself the challenge to complete his farm work by spring.

Cui QiChao ploughed two mu of land once an hour and ploughed on the same field repeatedly thrice. He only rested for seven or eight hours a day, and other than ploughing, he was also rushing through other work. In the end, he ploughed approximately 30 mu of fields before he was satisfied.

The space station that used to be a wasteland full of garbage was now clean and tidy. Useless garbage was stacked to the side, and the soil had become loose. With a mere glance, one could tell that it’s a good piece of arable land. If he fertilized and watered it, it would become a good field. 

Cui QiChao sat by the door and looked at his land with the sun dipping down. He felt extremely content.

XiaoBai was lying on one side, in an atypically horrible mood…

It could always smell Cui QiChao’s pheromones. It felt hungry, but it had already eaten. It was both hungry and full.

It glanced at Cui QiChao and thought that Cui QiChao might not be suffering from anything, and instead, it was XiaoBai that was suffering. What kind of omega’s estrus is this! It doesn’t even know if it was misconceiving it, but it seemed that Cui QiChao moved around more than usual in his estrus!

In the following days, Cui QiChao began to try planting all kinds of grass. He needed to see whether any of the crops from this planet could sprout and be used as food crops. He wanted to taste something fresh and clean so that he could wash down the sickening taste of greasy food.

Of course, times were different now, since whenever he got the crops, he could simply just analyze the components with instruments. If there was a problem with it, he would put it aside temporarily. If there wasn’t a problem, he would cook it, taste it, and then plant some in the ground.

Each kind of crop occupied a small area. Cui QiChao had to constantly observe them to check if they were perennial crops, how long their growth cycle was, what form they adopted at different stages of growth, whether they were harmful to the human body, whether each part of the crop could be used as food or medicine, and what effect they will have if they eat less or more, and etc.

Cui QiChao handwrote the data and gave them code numbers in his notebook. He was basically imprisoned here anyway, and the notebooks were things he scavenged somewhere. With the continuous development of science and technology, e-notebooks have been able to fully simulate the feel and smell of all kinds of paper. 

The land used for the experiment was about ten mu. Cui QiChao temporarily transplanted only a part of the crops he had and continued to collect and transplant the others slowly.

This was a long-term and necessary task. The plants here grew in different manners. As long as he found the regular pattern they adopted in growing, he could cross-grow with the crops from the original planet in the future.

The remaining lettuce seeds have all been sown previously. After fertilizing land, it must be placed there for ten to twenty days for it to set. The border of the field is adjusted in the middle. With all these done, it would be appropriate for him to sow now. He calculated that he could plant about twenty or thirty grams per mu, a total of ten mu of field.

After that, when the lettuce in the house was bolted and some of the seeds were reserved for sowing, he continued to sow and plant another five mu. The rest would be sown when the sweet potato ripened.

The reason why he grew so many stalks of lettuce was because he only had lettuce seeds and the sprouting period was generally not too dry, so there was no need to water the crops. They could withstand the low temperature in early spring, and the demand for light is also low. When Cui QiChao planted them on the balcony previously in the other virtual plane, the lettuce grew well even if they only had two hours of light. Wasn’t it obvious that they would grow well here as well?

But as for sweet potatoes, they would inevitably need a longer period under the sunshine in the future. The sunshine here would not be sufficient for them, and it would affect the plant growth. Cui QiChao was prepared to pick up more lights and use artificial lighting for it. Unfortunately, there’s no way to build a shed—there’s not enough material.

Recently, it began to rain and Cui QiChao expanded the reservoir. In addition to using it to receive rainwater, he also collected it with his own space station equipment. 

He altered the equipment so that it could operate continuously. With a water circulation device, disregarding the amount of water he used domestically, he could produce several tons of water every day. In the future, the vegetable fields would not be irrigated every day. Now that he had a sufficient amount of water, he could just water the fields on alternate days.

Because he was considering automating the irrigation system, the next task he had to do is dig the canal. He picked up a mechanical arm while he was scavenging. It was originally used for cooking, but after modification, the metal bucket was cut into a U-shape, connected to the mechanical arm, and hung up on the scooter. With this, he could use it to dig the ground. Seven or eight buckets of soil could be dug in a minute, and the soil could be discarded at another side. A canal was formed as he drove the scooter.

——Such a vehicle can be used as an excavator and a tractor, other than using it for a means to get somewhere.

In this way, water could be directly irrigated from the reservoir to the field. Cui QiChao could simply choose a good day to sow the seeds, but it’s a pity that he hasn’t found a suitable device to help him sow automatically. 

The whole land is now ready for sowing now, and Cui QiChao’s estrus was about to pass by.

Cui QiChao patted XiaoBai’s head and said to it, “This is how people work hard when spring comes early.”

XiaoBai: “……”

This is what you’ve learnt so far from the virtual plane?? 

In the latest episode of the program, the LJJ platform ramped up the publicity and released a notice before the episode broadcast, announcing that Cui QiChao entered his estrus. The program group did not snip out the scene of his estrus and broadcasted everything to the audience.

All the audience exploded: Is LJJ crazy!

Sometime ago, before LJJ had a reform, they would never snip out scenes from programs. They wouldn’t even bother to mosaic it. Gradually, they began to mosaic certain scenes, and later, they started to standardise all the content, and it had completely become a platform suitable for all audiences to watch.

What happened this time? Is Cui QiChao’s program really so popular that LJJ is willing to risk being closed down by the government? 

Since they released such a statement, can this week’s program really be broadcasted successfully?

There was a lot of discussion on the forum. When it was time for the broadcast, a lot of audiences who had never watched the program came into the channel. Even some people who had never gone on the LJJ platform waited for the time it was broadcasted to watch it. They wanted to see how LJJ sent an actor to the A/B/O virtual plane without editing out an omega in estrus.

With LJJ’s publicity, disregarding the tactics they employed to publicize, the end result was that they have attracted a large number of new audiences for the website and the program, and also made Cui QiChao’s third program become a hot topic, and climb up to a new peak of popularity. Various agricultural companies’ advertisement offers also came to their door…

[It’s about to be broadcasted, about to be broadcasted. Excited] 

[I don’t want to see the estrus. I want to see Lord Cui farming! *Knocks on the bowl*]

[With a mere glimpse at the comments upstairs, I know that they are all excellent audience]

[It’s still your Cui who’s awesome. He’s making a plough with his bare hands…]

[He also made a tractor with his bare hands (.)] 

[Heavens, I’m so excited. This person said that Lord Cui was going to be in heat soon. What to do? I don’t dare to look at the scene]

[I also don’t dare to watch it. This is LJJ’s scheme, trying to bend the straight Laotzu!]

[I’m so angry! Rubbish LJJ! You’re destroying my Lord Cui’s persona! Protest, I strongly protest! I don’t want to see Lord Cui being sexually frustrated! Set Lord Cui free, and let him farm!]

. 

[This episode is almost over. Is he still going to be in heat?]

[?? Look at the subtitle, he’s already in heat?]

[How is that in heat? Isn’t he crazily ploughing…]

[Spring is arriving, Cui QiChao was able to strongly resist his estrus. During the season, he made his own plough and turned 30 mu of wasteland into arable farmland?] 

[????]

[…I will fuck you LJJ!]

[I’m a newcomer who came here after seeing the publicity. It seems a little different from what I imagined. Has his program always been like this?]

[No, no, no, this is not the A/B/O world I know] 

[Motherfucker, I laughed so much my tears are about to spill. We were fooled by LJJ and Cui QiChao again. Hahahahhaha this fellow’s desire to farm is so strong, how could he lose his senses. He said it’s going to be spring soon hahahahahaha]

[I’ll fuck your mother. It doesn’t matter if LJJ cut the episode or not. No wonder LJJ is not worried at all]

[I think he seems to be much more spirited than usual, but it has nothing to do with his estrus. It’s mainly because spring is coming]

[God damn it. What nonsense is this? People work hard when spring comes early… This should be people work hard when there isn’t spring. I meant horniness when I’m referring to spring] 

[I’m done. This is the A/B/O plotline that made me feel the most speechless I’ve ever seen in my life!]

.

Look at my land. It’s really fine and fertile. It’s flat and first-class.

Cui QiChao felt proud as he sowed. He was over the moon. LJJ put him here to farm alone, and he could farm until the end of time. 

After his estrus passed, Cui QiChao became more energetic. The land had been watered enough previously and Cui QiChao would scatter the seeds manually. The way he did it was extremely uniform, and he would never make mistakes.

When they grew out, the crops would surely be as neat as soldiers standing as a battalion.

After planting, he had to cover the soil and spread some grass to moisturize it, which Cui QiChao already prepared beforehand. XiaoBai jumped around to help him work and dragged the grass over.

After sowing, Cui QiChao came to observe every day. After almost five days, the sprouts began to emerge. He uncovered the grass and irrigated it frequently in the morning and evening. 

When the seedlings grew, they were as neat as a ruler—it was enough to satisfy people with obsessive compulsive tendencies. After a few more days, they would have grown into seedlings. 5000 or 6000 plants could survive in an acre of land.

Cui QiChao ate two meals a day. He worked from morning to night, and he’s either in the fields or studying space garbage. When he went back at night, he rewarded himself for his labor, and gave himself a back rub.

XiaoBai jumped up and helped step on his back. Square and Round said dryly, “Your waist has labored too much. Remember to take care of it.”

Pythagoras said, “I know how to massage, but I can’t massage you.” 

It’s because Cui QiChao is not their master.

Pythagoras stammered, crazily hinting: “No, otherwise, why don’t you quickly hack me…”

Cui QiChao laid on the bed and thought, this Triangle actually stuttered. A great amount of detail was considered when designing it. In addition, how would robots feel idle and ask people to hack them so they could command them to do work easily? “I don’t know how to do that.”

These domestic robots were programmed to record the owner’s private details and were more heavily encrypted than the other machines he had found. Even if it was a product of the 23rd century, given his lacking knowledge and skill in this field, he couldn’t decrypt it. 

Pythagoras was so disappointed that the lights on it went dark. “Alright.”
