#32 - Chapter 32 Planting Potatoes

As Shen Xingyan's idea, which made other professionals feel crazy, landed, he also opened the Star Origin Mall and began to select the seeds he would plant next.

The selection of second-level seeds is much larger compared to the first level, including crops such as corn, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, and eggplants.

Their timeliness in terms of output is basically the same. The only difference lies in the growth time, which is an important reference data for Shen Xingyan when choosing seeds.

Shen Xingyan analyzed the economic benefits of each type of seed one by one, and combined his own specific situation to analyze which type of seed would produce the greatest cost-effectiveness after planting.

Other farmer professionals do not need to consider this issue, because they can plant whatever they want, and the final result is not much different.

After all, their professional skills only increase the growth speed of crops, making them mature sooner or later!

After comparing them one by one, Shen Xingyan directly removed crops such as lettuce, cabbage, and eggplant that could be planted in two or three days. They were neither suitable for his professional skills nor easy to break records, so they were no longer within his scope of consideration.

Shen Xingyan was hesitant between two seeds in the end.

One was corn, and the other was potatoes.

Comparing the two, the planting time of the two crops was the same, but the commodity value of potatoes was slightly inferior. Shen Xingyan instinctively wanted to choose corn.

However, considering the height of his little skeletons, the height of corn in the later stage of maturity would far exceed that of the little skeletons. At that time, labor would not only be inconvenient, but there would even be some maintenance work that could not be completed, resulting in a "task stagnation" state, which would be somewhat counterproductive.

In view of this, Shen Xingyan no longer hesitated and directly chose the crop to be planted this time: potatoes.

After all, the little skeletons are the main force of planting, and they are the main force of labor. Everything must revolve around them, so that the growth of crops will have a positive impact.

On the surface, Shen Xingyan gave up higher returns, but in fact, he chose a result that was most suitable for his own situation.

After Shen Xingyan's detailed understanding, the growth cycle of potatoes reached 20 days, compared to the 10 days of first-level wheat seeds. The maturity time has increased by a full double, but its economic value and the final professional experience value obtained are more than just a simple double.

Under normal circumstances, the yield of wheat per mu is 500 kilograms, and its harvest value can be 1,000 copper coins, and 50 points of professional experience.

Then, under normal circumstances, the yield of potatoes per mu is 3,000 kilograms, and its value can be 9,000 copper coins, and the increase in professional experience has reached 600 points, completely crushing first-level seeds in all aspects!

This is also an important reason why farmer professionals are so eager to improve their professional level. After all, with the same labor, the final harvest is so different. How can they not be eager for advanced seeds?

After Shen Xingyan selected the variety, he also lightly clicked on the mind to prepare to purchase the number of seeds needed for five acres of land, but at this time, he suddenly thought of the reward that Star Origin Century would give for breaking the record, and the purchase action stopped suddenly.

"Should I specially leave one acre of land to continue planting wheat? See if I can break my own record again?" This idea could not help but appear in Shen Xingyan's mind.

Breaking the harvest record of wheat twice in a row, especially the second time using professional skills to break the record, gave him a kind of confidence in this matter.

Moreover, the reward of the Star Origin World is not insignificant for him. The land rewarded alone has greatly improved his overall strength.

Otherwise, with his farmer profession, even if his skills are strong, it is impossible to reach the current level in such a short period of time, almost catching up with those combat professionals.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Shen Xingyan made up his mind that he still had to plant wheat!

The worst result is that the experience value and harvest obtained from this mu of land are reduced. For him now, this is completely bearable.

And if he breaks the record again this time, the richness of the reward is not comparable to the small amount of experience and money!

After Shen Xingyan weighed this in his mind, he no longer hesitated and directly selected the potato seeds needed to plant four acres of land, and the number of wheat seeds needed to plant one acre of land, and quickly paid 1470 copper coins under the preferential privilege of a 30% discount on seed purchases.

Now this little money is no longer so important to Shen Xingyan, who is already a "big household", and the current payment is for a better harvest in the future, this little money is very worthwhile.

Shen Xingyan divided the five acres of land according to the plan in his mind, and continued to plant wheat on the most central piece of original land, and planted new potato seeds on the land spreading in all directions.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the wheat record-breaking experiment, he specifically issued an instruction to Wangcai that wheat has a higher priority than potatoes. If the maintenance prompts for wheat and potatoes appear at the same time, then prioritize the wheat and postpone the potatoes.

After making these instructions, he did not delay any more time and directed Wangcai and other little skeletons to start planting.

Planting five acres of land is not a small task. Although Shen Xingyan's number of skeletons has reached 10, they are still working non-stop, and planting also takes a lot of time.

Moreover, after planting the wheat first, during the sowing of potato seeds, the maintenance prompts of the wheat also began to appear slowly. Shen Xingyan also had to separate a few small skeletons to deal with it, which also led to a decrease in sowing efficiency.

Fortunately, Shen Xingyan's professional skills were in a cooling state at this time and were not used, so the appearance of maintenance work was not so intense, and the impact on sowing was still within a controllable range.

During the planting period, Shen Xingyan's talent skills were also cooled down, and he also quickly summoned the eleventh little skeleton.

The addition of new labor also made the sowing efficiency improve a bit. Finally, under the labor of twelve laborers, it took nearly two hours to completely plant the potatoes.

After being busy, Shen Xingyan also stopped to rest. Standing on the edge of the field and seeing the land that was still so bare after sowing for the first time, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, every time after the planting was completed, his professional skills would directly cover it, allowing the crops to be quickly improved, and it was impossible for the soil to still be so clearly displayed in front of him.

But just now, in order to break the wheat record, he used it in advance, and now it is still in a cooling state, so he can only wait quietly.

At this time, the prompts on the wheat field appeared very slowly, and the current efficiency of the little skeletons was completely able to cope with it.
