Area B has many students who habitually liken their "assigned fields" to the "sanitation zones" in elentary and middle schools.
Based on each student’s working ability, the work in the assigned fields is divided into three levels. The so-called third level involves no direct planting but rely marginal tasks such as weeding and plowing.
These tasks are the simplest, but the area of the "assigned fields" requiring care is quite large, about ten acres per person for a spiritual fruit garden "assigned field", with a care period of one year. Failure to care properly results in a deduction of 20% of the assigned field’s value from the Heaven-defying Value.
The second level is more complex, as it involves taking care of plants afflicted by pests, such as spraying pesticides on "assigned fields" hit by insect disasters, topping and pruning plants with low fruiting rates, and hand pollination. The range of these "assigned fields" is correspondingly smaller, about five acres, with a care period of eight months. Failure to complete the task results in a deduction of 50% of the care for the assigned field’s Heaven-defying Value.
The first level offers the greatest freedom, where you can freely choose about one acre of assigned field in the Spiritual Fruit Garden, select a plant, handle it from "cradle" to "grave," and do as you please, but you must deliver 40% of the crop after harvest.
The care period depends on the crop’s own growth cycle, provided you can deliver the corresponding crop. If not, based on the principle of equivalence, 80% of the Heaven-defying Value will be deducted.
A fifty-fifty split sounds fair, but think about it. The Spiritual Fruit Garden has several hundred acres of uncultivated land left idle by campus robots.
The land is lying idle regardless, and if students cannot deliver, they can still gain 40% of the equivalent crop’s Heaven-defying Value. Such an advantageous deal ensures that the campus always profits, not to ntion the looming condition of an 80% Heaven-defying Value deduction.
When Roo One outlined the relevant standards, Xiao Xian contemplated.
If it’s just for experintal planting, she could simply conduct experints in Area C. Although the spiritual energy in Area C is sowhat lower than in Area B, at least there are no additional fees.
With Xiao Xian undecided for the mont, the robot Roo One suggested, "You can also choose to undertake both the second and third levels, which would reduce your workload by 40%."
Most students initially choose these two combinations for convenience and economic principles.
"Hmm, I have made up my mind. I’ll choose a first-level responsibility field, which I will personally select," Xiao Xian’s decision caused Roo One to experience a brief system glitch.
"Okay. Interdiate Student Zhu Xiaoxian, you are taking on the most challenging task for your first responsibility field?" Roo One estimated that she could shorten her workload to three to four months.
After confirmation, Roo One presented the seeds available from the Spiritual Fruit Garden.
These were common dicinal herbs. After several trips by Plum Rice Ball, Xiao Xian’s knowledge of pharmacology had greatly expanded, "Is it only Ma Huang, Perilla, and the like?"
After looking around a few tis, Xiao Xian said, "I’ll first check the soil quality in the orchard before deciding which crop to plant."
"Okay, but let remind you. To encourage students to cultivate rare and endangered dicinal herbs, the campus has stipulated that those who can plant precious dicinal herb species can enjoy a one-ti 20% fee reduction, which essentially makes the split twenty-eighty," Roo One’s response imdiately brightened Xiao Xian’s mood.
"Then it’s settled. I have decided what to plant. Take to the Spiritual Fruit Garden to find suitable land."
This was Xiao Xian’s first ti entering the Spiritual Fruit Garden. Previously, she had only heard about it from Zhang Yiyi.
The Spiritual Fruit Garden is a garden with five tis more spiritual energy than Area C, specifically opened for interdiate students in Area B of the campus.
As soon as she entered the orchard, Xiao Xian saw a temperature and humidity asuring box with thermoters and hygroters inside. Roo Eighteen, who manages the Spiritual Fruit Garden, was recording related data.
Xiao Xian glanced at it. The climate of the Spiritual Fruit Garden is maintained at an optimal 15 to 28°C for plant growth, with humidity also within certain requirents, roughly between 40-85%.
The outermost layer of the Spiritual Fruit Garden is mainly fruit trees, including frost-touched grapes, wax-red snake fruits, and golden oranges. The periphery of the Spiritual Fruit Garden is filled with various fruit fragrances, with so primary students helping to pick the fruits. Under sufficient spiritual power, taking snake fruit as an example, the fruit reaches harvest every two months.
