The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

95

The next morning, Xie Sen washed up, and sat at the dining room table as he waited for Maine to bring breakfast from the kitchen. He asked Adam in his mind, “Has the position of the water energy changed?”

Adam took a moment to answer. “It’s been moving closer to Brandt Star.”

Xie Sen asked for the exact location, and drew a line on the map to see how the water energy was moving. His eyes gleamed slightly. “Why do I feel that it seems to be moving towards Brandt Star?!”

Adam said, “I think so too.”

Xie Sen looked at the map. “There are still two human-inhabited planets in between. If it doesn’t stop, then we might really get lucky this time.”

Adam sounded excited, “Oh, it would be great if it did come to Brandt Star!”

Maine put the breakfast in front of Xie Sen. Yam and dates porridge, a white boiled egg and golden tender corn. It looked very appetizing.

Xie Sen looked up from the screen, and the corners of his mouth curled up. “Thank you.”

Maine glanced down, kissed him on the lips and looked at the map. “Do you want to go somewhere?”

Xie Sen shook his head, and turned off his bracelet. He stirred his porridge with his spoon. “The energy location has changed. I was looking at where it is now.”

Maine sat down beside him. The breakfast in front of him was different from Xie Sen’s. Fried meat and eggs plus corn. Xie Sen had insisted that he eat the corn to supplement his nutrition.

Maine wondered, “How does the energy position change?”

Xie Sen nodded. “Do you remember the flying rhinoceros? The energy was in its horn. If it moved, the energy would move with it.” The corners of his eyes curved slightly. “It’s been getting closer to Brandt Star.”

After breakfast, Xie Sen redeemed an apple, ordered it to separate the fruit from the seeds, put the seeds away, and ate the rest.

As he was eating, Ma Qun contacted him. Ma Qun said immediately, “The cooperation company has been founded. The final price is set at 5,000 star coins per seedling, and each group is provided with 1,000 seedlings. Not counting you, there are three other groups, so each group needs to pay 5 million. After the seedling cultivation cost, the remaining 10 million payment will be received, and I will transfer it to you.”

Xie Sen was surprised. One pepper could grow more than 30 seedlings, so this was equivalent to 150,000 star coins per pepper. “So expensive?”

Ma Qun laughed, “It’s not that high. These are veterans in the business world. They won’t lose money. We signed a non-disclosure agreement, so they know that the peppers we provide can improve the land, and there is data to back it up. A chili pepper bush can produce almost ten pounds of peppers per year after it matures, so they can make it back in a year.”

Xie Sen did a mental calculation, and instantly felt that the price really wasn’t that high. “Then I’ll send the peppers over later.”

“No,” Ma Qun said. “Li You will come and get it. You are in a special health condition, and there are many media outlets watching you. It’s not convenient for you to go out.”

When Xie Sen thought about it, it did make sense, so he said, “Okay. I’ve sorted it out. There are 124 peppers in total. If there aren’t enough seedlings cultivated, the other three groups will get priority. I’m fine with a little less.”

Ma Qun smiled, and praised him. “You’re such a sensible kid.”

Xie Sen laughed dryly. “I’m already an adult.”
