Chapter 0035 Mission Completed, Review Failed
"Brother Gu, I'll help you water it in a few days. I have a small white dragon sprinkler and a submersible pump ready-made. The sprinkler operation can be completed in one day."
After they had filled their stomachs, Dong Jun's wife cleaned up the table and brewed a pot of tea, which she then brought over.
Dong Jun brought up the matter of irrigation. He had already finished watering his own land, and he planned to water Professor Mao's land later, and also water Gu Tong's land at the same time.
People help him with tilling, rotary tilling, and sowing, so he always feels obligated to do something in return, otherwise he'll feel bad.
"Thanks, Brother Dong. I'll definitely ask for your help when it's time to water the plants. But I also need to prepare a small electric water pump and a water tank myself. It only costs a few thousand yuan, but it's better to be prepared."
Gu Tong did not refuse Dong Jun's offer, but he still planned to buy a sprinkler irrigation system.
"Little White Dragon" is a common name; it's actually a PE hose, which is then paired with accessories such as nozzles, brackets, and clips to enable sprinkler irrigation.
Because of its low price and good irrigation effect, it is loved by growers.
Of course, the most precise and effective irrigation method is drip irrigation.
However, drip irrigation is too expensive. If Gu Tong's 80 mu of land were to adopt this irrigation method, the one-time investment alone would range from 10 to 24 yuan.
Under the current economic conditions, he can only choose the more cost-effective sprinkler irrigation method.
Dong Jun nodded and took a sip of tea.
Gu Tong looked at Aikebai and asked, "When are you going to improve your pasture?"
"Let's talk about early next month. I'll need your help then."
Ai Kebai didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked the two of them for help.
"Of course, just let us know in advance and we'll definitely be there."
Gu Tong and Dong Jun both stated that the primary task of the mutual aid group is to help each other, and the secondary task is to provide agricultural machinery services to others.
Aikbai was overjoyed. His father had agreed to let him join Gu Tong and Dong Jun's mutual aid group. He would feel very proud if the mutual aid group could play an important role in grassland improvement.
The three chatted for less than an hour before Gu Tong and Ai Kebai said goodbye and left.
Everyone has been working very hard lately and definitely needs a good rest.
night.
Gu Tong opened the panel and viewed all the new information.
Today we completed fertilization, rotary tillage, and sowing, achieving great results in terms of both efficiency and impact.
The biggest surprise was the surge in followers, which broke the 4000 mark again in just one day, bringing the total number of followers to 4371, with 1300 new followers.
[Effective operation (fertilizing), Shennong value +8]
[Effective work (rotary tillage), Shennong value +8]
[Effective work (sowing), Shennong value +8]
[Influence expands, Shennong value +13]
Shennong Value: 84 points
......
[Current Task (Completed): The year's plan starts in spring. Complete the spring planting of the fields under the host's name within 20 days.]
[Reward: New Year's Gift Box (3 pieces)]
Do you want to claim the reward?
......
Meanwhile, the current task has been completed, and Gu Tong has chosen to claim the reward.
Opening a New Year gift box is essentially opening a blind box. After clicking to open it, he opened his eyes wide and waited expectantly.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 3 skill books: Introduction to Construction, Introduction to Identification, and Introduction to Gathering]
The answer was soon revealed: as the vast amount of knowledge about the three skills was poured into the mind, muscle memory was formed.
Gu Tong sat there silently for a long time, not because he was dissatisfied with the result, but because he needed time to process what he had learned.
After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
The three beginner-level skill books can be redeemed in the Shennong Pavilion for 10 Shennong points each, which is basically a guaranteed reward.
Gu Tong's luck can only be described as average, neither good nor bad.
For example, the reward options include Shennong value (1-100 points). If you're unlucky, you might theoretically get 3 Shennong value points. At least the result isn't the worst.
Since the outcome was already decided, Gu Tong stopped dwelling on it and focused her attention on the three skills themselves.
The core of the word "construction" is still architecture, including building houses, constructing farmland irrigation facilities, constructing agricultural auxiliary facilities, and so on.
He's going to build a sheep pen next, so the skills [Construction] and [Carpentry] will be very useful.
[Identification] This skill is very powerful. From then on, Gu Tong was able to identify many common plants, including crops, herbs, weeds, fungi, trees, and so on.
For example, he can now basically distinguish whether most fungi are poisonous or not, and the probability of dying from eating wild mushrooms is very small.
The skill 【Gathering】 is not useless, but it is not very useful at this stage.
There are specific methods and timings for picking fruits, harvesting crops, and gathering herbs. Having more skills is never a bad thing; you'll always find a use for them in the future.
Gu Tong's personal information was then updated.
[Host: Gu Tong]
[Realm: Ordinary Farmer (0/100)]
Skill Tree: 7 skills (5 beginner level, 2 advanced level)
[Shennong Pavilion: Unlocked]
Shennong Value: 84 points
[Task: None]
......
The personal information has changed significantly; the original skill bar has been replaced by a skill tree.
打开技能树之后，具体的技能才显现出来：厨艺入门（0/10），木工入门（0/10），建造入门（0/10），辨识入门（0/10），採集入门（0/10），驾驶熟练（0/30），修理熟练（0/30）。
This makes personal information look much neater.
......
"I'll save the Shennong points for now and use them to improve my cultivation level."
Gu Tong decided not to use Shennong Points for now. He was still 16 points short of the 100 Shennong Points needed to advance his realm. He could wait a few days and maybe he could get enough.
Although he has mastered five basic inheritances, the basics are just that—the basics. They might not be enough when faced with complex situations.
To advance (inherit), one must first improve one's own level.
Afterwards, Gu Tong closed the panel and calmed down to start editing the video.
He plans to edit a complete video of the entire spring planting process, which will definitely take more than a day or two to complete; he needs to polish it carefully.
The next day.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Tong made a phone call to the agricultural machinery office.
The application for agricultural machinery subsidies was submitted quite some time ago. The staff promised a result within 10 working days, but he has not received any notification to this day.
The call was answered quickly, and he said, "Hello, is this the Agricultural Machinery Office? I applied for agricultural machinery subsidies half a month ago, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. My name is Gu Tong, could you please help me check?"
The staff member on the other end of the phone didn't answer; a second or two later, a voice came through the receiver:
"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I should have called you a few days earlier. Your agricultural machinery subsidy application was not approved because there were a few minor issues with the documents you submitted."
"There's a problem with the information? That can't be! Here's what I'll do: I'll come over to your place now, and we'll talk about it there."
Gu Tong was a little unhappy. Why didn't they say there was a problem with the information earlier? Why did they only bring it up after she took the initiative to call? That's not how you do things.
So without waiting for the other person to speak again, he hung up the phone, went out to the yard, got into his pickup truck, and drove straight to the county town.
