Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 588 - 575: Seed Production Machine! Iridium Sprinkler!
"Absolute Peak? There's a level above Perfect?" Han Qiwu reflexively touched his hair.
At least it's not a bald spot.
After the rewards were distributed, he noticed that the entire osmanthus grove in front of him was now available for chopping.
"Quick, check out how the Moon Totem is crafted. I'm really curious." Tang Qingying poked Han Qiwu's waist and said.
"Ouch, be gentle. Your strength is as strong as mine now." Han Qiwu grimaced as he pulled up the Moon Totem's attributes.
[Moon Totem]
[Materials: [Moon Essence]×10, [Moonlight Wood]×20]
[Effect: When used, creates a stable passage to the Moon lasting up to two hours]
[Note: Have fun!]
"Moon Totem? That sounds so interesting!" Tang Qingying said with a grin. "Do you think there might be mines or something similar on the Moon? Maybe we could dig for rare elements there."
"There probably will be," Han Qiwu chuckled. "But don't get too excited just yet. Look at the materials — Moon Essence and Moonlight Wood. We haven't even seen these once."
"Moonlight Wood must be related to the fully unlocked Osmanthus Axe. Let's head home and check it out!" Tang Qingying pulled Han Qiwu into the car, and they swiftly returned to the small courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, they immediately noticed the Little Prince staring blankly at the osmanthus axe floating mid-air, looking completely puzzled.
Who am I? Why is the axe floating? What's going on?
[Osmanthus Axe Awaiting Moonlight]
Tang Qingying walked over, rubbed the Little Prince's head, and said with a smile, "It seems the Osmanthus Axe still needs to absorb moonlight to fully unlock. It'll probably hang here for a while."
Han Qiwu nodded, checked the Osmanthus Wine recipe, and found the main ingredient was just osmanthus flowers. He decided to wait until autumn to brew it.
"By the way, how did the super bomb work today?" Tang Qingying asked curiously. "Should we make a few more?"
Han Qiwu waved his hand helplessly. "I only used one today. Trying to find a suitable escape route in the mine was really tricky. Let me think of some other ideas before making more."
"Don't worry, something will work out."
After finishing these tasks, the two of them felt a bit tired. They tidied up the courtyard briefly before heading to bed.
"This silk quilt feels so comfortable!"
"It's worth feeding those silkworms mulberry leaves every day."
"Goodnight, love you."
"Love you even more!"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp"
The cheerful sound of Little Electric woke up a new day.
Sitting at the dining table for breakfast, Han Qiwu gave Tang Qingying a thumbs-up in admiration. "My wife is amazing! The planting skill reached level 9, and two new blueprints appeared — one is the Seed Production Machine."
Tang Qingying lifted her chin proudly. "Of course! What's the other one? Iridium Sprinkler?"
"Smart guess." Han Qiwu chuckled. The Iridium Sprinkler wasn't hard to predict — level 10 often comes with a new profession, so the sprinkler blueprint was bound to appear at level 9.
[Seed Production Machine]
[Materials: [Hardwood]×50, [Wood]×50, [Charcoal]×40, [Gold Bar]×20]
[Effect: Converts regular seeds to fixed-template seeds or mature crops to fixed-template seeds]
[Note: It'll be your loyal companion]
[Iridium Sprinkler]
[Materials: [Gold Bar]×1, [Iridium Bar]×1, [Battery Pack]×1]
[Effect: The Iridium Sprinkler waters up to 24 tiles in a 5×5 area daily, excluding the sprinkler's own location]
[Note: Work hard to obtain battery packs!]
After looking at the blueprints, Tang Qingying immediately said, "The biggest expense for the Seed Production Machine is hardwood and gold bars. Gold bars aren't too bad, but the difficulty in obtaining hardwood is higher."
Han Qiwu nodded. "Exactly. Hopefully, the unlocked Osmanthus Axe will improve the chances of chopping hardwood. But I didn't expect the Iridium Sprinkler to require a battery pack. I collected a few during the last thunderstorm; I can make a few now."
"Let's make one Seed Production Machine first and check the results," Tang Qingying said impatiently.
After breakfast, the two of them gathered in the courtyard and started crafting.
The Seed Production Machine looked a bit like a washing machine, with a large opening at the top.
Han Qiwu tentatively threw in twenty rice seeds.
[Rice Seeds Added: 20/100]
[Please Select Fixed Template]
Han Qiwu chose the "Sugar Cake No. 1."
After making the selection, the lid automatically closed, and the Seed Production Machine began to rumble and shake.
[Seed Production in Progress, Estimated Time: Five Minutes]
"The speed isn't bad." Han Qiwu used the time to craft three Iridium Sprinklers.
The crafted Iridium Sprinklers weren't as shiny as the ones redeemed from the system, but their effects were the same. He installed them directly inside the greenhouse.
From the last rainy day, he discovered a problem: plants inside the greenhouse couldn't get rained on and had to rely entirely on sprinklers or manual watering.
Time to slowly grind through it.
After five minutes, twenty Sugar Cake No. 1 seeds were completed. Their appearance didn't differ much from regular rice seeds.
Tang Qingying grabbed a handful and walked outside. "You plant a few in the field inside; I'll try planting some outside."
Han Qiwu planted a few in the water field. Like regular rice seeds, they were immediately planted successfully.
A short while later, Tang Qingying returned, excited. "They can be planted! It really works! What's your plan for today? Continue mining?"
"No rush. Since today's log says our research ability has improved, why don't we spend the morning modifying the Sugar Cake series? Let's aim to develop a new variety of seeds. Then we can send them to the research institute for trial planting later." Han Qiwu smiled. He actually had a hidden agenda — proving his ability to produce seeds would give him more confidence when proposing to Tang Qingying and convincing her family.
Tang Qingying didn't overthink it and happily agreed. She grabbed Han Qiwu's hand and led him to the rice seedlings. The two exchanged smiles and began researching together.
