The Interstellar’s Expert Plant TamerChapter

Xie Sen paged Adam, who quickly replied, “Sen, what’s wrong?”

Xie Sen immediately told him of the success with the pepper plant but how the tomato failed.  Puzzled, he said, “The red energy was recovered, but a corresponding red plant can’t be planted?”

Adam explained, “Yes. The tomatoes are not System-exchanged plants. Their vitality isn’t as strong as System-exchanged plants, and the soil here isn’t suitable for the growth of edible plants.”

“Then how did the tomatoes grow in the wild before?” Xie Sen wondered.

“The place where it grew was close to the red energy, but there’s no red energy in the location where it’s cultivated now.” Adam said.

Xie Sen wrinkled his eyebrows, “So, except for the edible plants redeemed by the System, the rest can’t be grown?”

“No, as long as the soil quality is changed.”

Xie Sen sighed, “Brandt Star has so few edible plants, if the soil quality could be improved, it would have been improved long ago. It seems that we can only slowly exchange for System’s plants. Wild plants can not be relied on.”

Adam said, “We can grow wild plants. The System’s plants correspond to each kind of energy, and can improve the soil quality after being planted in the ground,” it could not help but sound smug. “The System’s plants are cultivated by my five elements of energy, and it’s very powerful.”

Xie Sen was surprised, “So powerful?”

“Of course. When you used to grow vegetables, didn’t you find that they all grew very well? You didn’t take care of the garden at all, but it was always a great harvest.”

When Xie Sen thought back on it, that was true. During the last days, he had only activated peppers and potatoes, but in his vegetable garden he had planted a lot of vegetables, and they all grew very well. He ate vegetables every day until he dreamed of eating meat.

And now it was the complete opposite situation.

Instantly, he hated it! “Why can’t we synthesize it?”

Adam reminded him again, “The System’s plant improved soil will be more suitable for the same color of plant growth, but of course, the soil quality change will take time and is diffuse.”

Xie Sen mused, “That means the closer the soil is to the System’s plants, the sooner it will improve?”

“Yes, Sen is so smart!”

Xie Sen smiled, “Thanks Adam,” he looked at the remaining energy, 388/400. “I have good news for you, the fourth plant will be activated today!”

“Really?” Adam’s voice rose with excitement, “A’Sen, you’re fantastic! I’m going to take a break. Call me when the plant is activated.”

Xie Sen hmmed in his mind, and turned his head to look at Maine. He met Maine’s gaze as he stared at him.

Maine’s eyes changed slightly. He turned sideways, and kissed him several times on the corner of his lips.

Xie Sen grabbed Maine’s arm. His own eyes were tinged with laughter.

The speed of energy collection was a few days faster than he expected, which was mostly  Maine’s doing. After the two established a relationship, Maine would give him back seven energy every morning, and from the day he put on the anklet, the daily energy became eight.

It had been ten days since he retrieved the red energy. He’d gathered a total of more than two hundred and sixty energy, at an average of twenty-six per day and Maine accounted for almost a third.
