Being an otaku in the world of American comics

As evening approached, Liang Yue finally returned home.

He drove his brand-new Hummer, loaded with nearly two hundred kinds of goods, consisting of various vegetables, fruits, medicinal herbs, flowers, and potted seedlings, returning fully loaded.

Afterward, even with the secret assistance of a storage space, the fellow still had to run back and forth between the house and the car three or four times before he could barely move all the goods in the carriage into the room.

“This haul is not small, but I’ve pretty much emptied that area of Chinatown, it seems I really have to go to the suburbs more often in the future.

Or I need to have special channels, like relationships with plant nurseries.”

“However, as an ordinary high school student, and an exchange student from China, guarding such a small place at home, if I buy too many things back at once, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Especially when the neighbor next door is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent…”

“So, the next step is to go out as much as possible, try to digest all the things outside before coming back, so my goal for tomorrow should be the New York Botanical Garden!”

……

After watching TV and surfing the internet in the living room for a while, eating the fruits he bought from the Chinese supermarket today, Liang Yue gradually sent today's harvest into the stronghold world after nightfall.

Under the special rules of the MC world, planting various plants is quite simple and crude.

In addition to ready-made seeds and plant seedlings that can be directly planted in the ground, those finished fruits and vegetables that Liang Yue bought today are also effortless to operate.

For example, a mature pomelo, after putting it into the MC character interface's built-in tool bar, will automatically generate four seeds with extremely high survival rates.

Under the same operating mode, for example, small-grained fruits such as cherries and grapes, after putting a bunch into the tool bar, can also generate four seeds each.

Planted in plowed soil, it can almost guarantee 100% survival!

Although the whole process seems a bit absurd, this is the rule in the MC world, simple and crude, you have to accept it ~

Of course, after having these plant seeds and seedlings, it doesn't mean that you can plant them randomly everywhere, Liang Yue still needs to carry out more scientific planning himself.

In the current MC world, although there is no so-called seasonal change, various climate terrains will also be generated according to the different altitudes of various regions.

Temperate deciduous forests, tropical rain forests, swamps, deserts, grasslands, snow mountains, caves, etc., are all available.

Tropical fruits such as wax apples, tree grapes, and mangoes are obviously not suitable for planting in the base surrounded by mountains in front of you.

Similarly, plants such as coffee, snow lotus, and ginseng may be a better choice to plant in forests with slightly higher altitudes.

In addition, Liang Yue's trip to Chinatown also unexpectedly purchased a batch of plant seedlings, such as small-leaf red sandalwood, Hainan rosewood, Phoebe zhennan, and even yew, etc., from a bonsai store that seemed to be deceiving tourists, under the banner of precious species.

He naturally knew what the store was thinking when they took out such mass-producible seedlings and sold them by the plant.

Many unsuspecting people who came from China and traveled to Chinatown were probably the main target customer group.

In such stores, those plants with a little styling are priced very high, but after buying them, in addition to being cheated of money, whether they can pass customs smoothly is still unknown.

But for Liang Yue, the existence of these people saved him a lot of effort.

Anyway, he himself doesn't care much about the appearance and styling of those species, as long as the seedlings sold are strong and free of pests.

……

In this way, knowing the surrounding terrain, Liang Yue still spent most of the day classifying and planting this batch of plants in their respective suitable places.

After a hasty lunch, with a hint of the joy of a farmer expecting a harvest in his heart, this fellow immediately devoted himself to the creation of the magical creation of the wine barrel.

For this reason, he also specially carved out several spacious private wine cellars under a tall mountain on one side of the basin.

Eight oak blocks, plus two iron ingots ~

Liang Yue was in it at this time, and he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

Then, I saw this fellow wave his sleeve, and a palm-sized green pine cone-shaped flower suddenly appeared in his palm.

This thing is nothing else, it is the hops that he planted in the field before, and it is also a magical species from the Stardew Valley game world.

Don't underestimate this small hop, the entire plant in the outside plantation can only pick this one.

Moreover, the quantifier 'one' may not be appropriate for this thing, it may be more accurate to call it a serving.

“However, whether it’s one or a serving, now I just want to know whether such a full and slightly overripe hop can brew a barrel of ale like in the game.”

With this thought in mind, Liang Yue couldn't help but widen his eyes at this time, and then pressed the hop in his hand onto the wine barrel in front of him.

Suddenly, something magical happened ~!

I saw that the oak wine barrel, which was originally seamless and had no gaps, immediately seemed to have grown an invisible mouth, and absorbed the palm-sized hop.

A few seconds later, a faint fermentation aura began to seep out from the wine barrel, slowly overflowing into the surrounding air.

After a while, the inside of the wine barrel even began to make gurgling sounds ~

“So amazing ~!”

Liang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth at this time, with an inexplicable look of emotion, and unconsciously began to circle around the fermenting wine barrel, constantly doing research.

After a long while, he stopped in vain.

With a flip of his palm, another hop appeared in his palm, and then this fellow filled the remaining nine servings into the wine barrels one by one.

“I don’t know if those crops that are not produced in Stardew Valley can also be played like this?”

“Theoretically ~ it should be possible, right? After all, this is a wine barrel that has been transformed by the system.”

So, the greedy Liang Yue held this idea, and very secretly turned out a bunch of grapes from his storage space, and then selected an empty wine barrel next to him and pressed it on it.

“Huh? This… it does feel like it’s been absorbed, but compared to the previous wine barrels, why doesn’t this one ferment? System, what’s going on?”

Unable to figure it out, this fellow could only ask the system for help again.

“Ding ~! The hops produced in the Stardew Valley world contain the essence of the species. One is a comprehensive complex of hundreds of hops. The grapes used by the host are just grape varieties from the real world.

Its own quality is not enough to reach the level of fermenting the wine barrel, and it needs to be compensated by quantity.”

“So that’s it!”

Liang Yue suddenly looked enlightened when he heard the words, and after figuring out the working principle of the wine barrel, he finally felt a lot more at ease in his heart.

“But I don’t have that many grapes on me now.”

Based on the idea of not being able to give up halfway, Liang Yue then simply summoned the entire storage space.

Scanning his vision, he saw that in the space grid at this moment, there were sparsely stored batches of fruits with different varieties and small quantities.

This was a batch of excess scraps left over after he made various fruits he bought into seeds, including apples, peaches, strawberries, cantaloupe, and so on.

After a long while, Liang Yue suddenly had an unreliable idea in his mind.

“Why don’t I just put them together and brew a barrel of mixed fruit wine? Let’s do it! It’s a waste to keep them anyway!”
