The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

The next morning, just after Xie Sen and Maine finished their breakfast, Long Teng and Bai Jiao came to help them move. It was very convenient to have spatial backpacks to move their things. The four of them still had nothing in their hands.

Xie Sen thought of the old days when they used to move their dorm rooms with their luggage in their hands and felt great! Maine contacted the landlord, and checked out of the apartment. After the paperwork was cleared, the four of them headed to their new place.

It took time to organize the house, but Maine and Long Teng were strong enough to put the furniture wherever they wanted, so they didn’t feel uncomfortable moving it around.

In less than two hours, Xie Sen and Maine’s new home was set up. When he saw that it was still early, Xie Sen took out the plant seeds obtained from the Yamu continent and chose the tall tree seeds from them.

Long Teng inquired curiously, “What’s this for?”

Xie Sen told him his plan for the land next door. “I am going to plant the seeds of these trees first.” When he thought of the poor soil quality, he first took out some watermelon seeds.

The plants from the System would improve the soil quality so that the trees could grow smoothly.

Long Teng sniffed, then curiously followed them outside with Bai Jiao.

Xie Sen circled the area with white lime powder, Maine dug the holes, he threw the seeds into the holes and Maine covered the seeds with soil. They worked very well together.

Bai Jiao saw how casual they were. He couldn’t help it and said, “Is this really going to work? Why don’t I take the seeds to the lab to grow and germinate before I bring them to you?”

“No,” Xie Sen shook his head. “This will do.”

The wood energy had already been retrieved, and the watermelon had been planted next to them, so he wasn’t worried about the growth of the green plants.

The four of them moved very quickly, and finished planting the seeds in the morning.

At noon, Xie Sen made a nice lunch in the new home, and invited Xu Da over to thank him for helping to look after the contract beasts. After the meal, Xu Da left, and Xie Sen and Maine went to the Plant Research Institute.

Ma Qun had given Xie Sen access to the Institute, so Xie Sen swiped his bracelet, and went straight to Ma Qun’s cultivation base after he asked the staff. Xie Sen’s eyes lit up when he walked into the cultivation site. Not far from there, patches of chili pepper bushes were growing lushly. The green leaves and red fruits were particularly beautiful.

There were also a number of people who were standing among the bushes, walking around in the bush paths, or bending down every now and then to check things out and take notes.

“There.” Maine pointed to Ma Qun at the far end.

Xie Sen pulled Maine along the path next to the chili pepper bushes to find Ma Qun, and the more he looked at the chili pepper bushes, the more pleased he was. There were many chili peppers on the trees, both green and red, almost half of each.

“President Ma,” Xie Sen greeted as he approached, and pointed to the chili pepper bushes. “The red ones are ripe, and ready to be picked.”

Ma Qun was bending down to test a chili pepper bush. When he heard his voice, he straightened up and looked over, his face full of smiles. “This half is ready to be planted so it can continue to grow, and the other half will be picked tomorrow.”

Xie Sen smiled. “Then I’ll be lucky to have a mouthful!”

Ma Qun laughed. “You can have the first batch of peppers. The yield is much more than we expected. In half a month, the green ones will also grow, and those flowering now will be fruitful again.”
