Just kidding, the Night Wanderer and the Chaotic Blade Association have sold human at before, how could they not know who the buyers were?
And on this barren wasteland of the Evil Land, what's wrong with water that's got so feces in it? It's a blessing to have food at all.
Clint shook his head even more
"How can we afford to eat these things?"
Compared to eating, they valued these little green seedlings more.
On the sponge grid, small light green leaves swayed on roots thin as hair, looking so fragile yet full of life.
Plants
The only plants seen in the Evil Land are twisted shrubs, but those shrubs barely have any leaves, only dried branches.
Even in Night City, the only place you might see an abundance of vegetation is the lush artificial lawns around the mansions on Charter Mountain.
But Li Feiyu said
"These were ant for you to eat, not for outside distribution."
Lin Miao didn't plan to release these vegetables to the market yet, instead prioritizing the supply for players and internal company employees, considering external sales only when they were fully abundant.
"We... eat?"
Clint pointed at his nose in disbelief, feeling the other party seed to have gotten the target wrong.
To be honest, they initially saw choosing a work internship as a way to survive. Forget about eating so vegetables; they'd be grateful just to get so work points, dreaming of escaping if ever given the chance.
"Otherwise, should we just feed them to pigs?"
Li Feiyu said indifferently
He didn't understand what these friendly NPCs were talking about.
Players rarely harbor animosity towards enemy NPCs in a ga unless the latter do sothing unbearable, like killing a cute girl.
Players fought against the Chaotic Blade Association, killed them, and now the remaining ones were held for labor reform, only working as intern technicians to earn their keep, without even a salary, just work points, not so much as to deny them vegetables.
After all, in the players' perspective, vegetables aren't valuable. They don't even know the feeling of hunger so severe it leads to acidity.
But in the eyes of people in the cyber era, vegetables are high-class food enjoyed only by elite individuals. Even agricultural workers in farm towers might not eat vegetables more than a few tis in their lifeti.
Yet now, the people in front of them said these things were grown for them to eat...
Even during their ti in Dragon Field, the guards and players had the sa als as them.
Perhaps for players, these things were commonplace, sothing they didn't even care about, but for people of the cyber era, treating humans as humans was a rare form of respect.
It's like the person who jailed you introducing you to a job at a Porsche factory upon release and, in front of everyone, pointing at a Cayenne being assembled inside, saying
"The cars produced in this factory are for personal use, each employee drives one, with gas and maintenance covered by the factory."
Who wouldn't be moved?
You can get full eating lobsters too, quickly change that bad habit of eating staple foods.JPG
"..."
The lawless ones are all dead. The survivors are either smart or timid; so softer farm tech workers reddened their eyes, softly sobbing in the crowd.
The sound quickly spread, whether intentionally or unintentionally; almost everyone had tears, leaving Li Feiyu puzzled.
He just felt these people looked just as aggrieved as agricultural students whose experintal plants they spent weeks growing get plucked by a passing aunt to cook at ho.
"Crying like a bunch of grown n, just hurry up and learn."
"This is the leaf vegetable area, lettuce takes 18 days a section, over there spinach is 28 days, and in the nightshade area, tomatoes, cucumbers, and potatoes, pea sprouts and bean sprouts are in the sprout area, rember corn is a three-month crop..."
Lin Miao couldn't guarantee the success rate of the first planting round, half of the agricultural database in the W system ca from the cyber world (just 'taken' from several food companies), and half from the real world; who knows if it matches with the system's seeds, so only a third of the seed amount was given, letting them plant many and try different ones a few tis, even if all died, they could restart.
As long as the electricity consumption isn't a factor, hydroponic cultivation has crushing advantages over traditional agricultural cultivation.
First is planting area; the sa acre outside would only plant one acre's worth of vegetables, but in a vertical farming base, how many acres you can plant depends on how high you can build the building, how much electricity you have, and the variety of vegetables grown.
For instance, this lettuce, in the current planting base built by Lin Miao, an acre can be used as fifty acres, and the planting density is far greater than land farming.
Moreover, chanized indoor planting requires fewer laborers; most repetitive tasks are managed by robotic arms, and staff only need to record crop growth and handle system-reported issues.
One person can manage 40 acres on average, even considering the farm tech workers' inexperience, and players possibly freeloading wages here, otherwise even more could be managed.
The farm tech workers listened with wide ears, afraid of missing a word.
Learning, especially sincere self-initiated learning, is fastest in efficiency. Although their ideal might not be to farm here forever, taking this place as a new starting point in their lives might not be unheard of.
In this world, only a few are born bad; no one is born wanting to do evil, what kind of environnt shapes what kind of person, many have no choice, perhaps never seeing another path until death, or if they see it, missing it due to various reasons.
No one truly sees banditry as a glorious profession; the so-called freedom and forthrightness are re veils of self-deception.
But now, with food fed right to their mouths, if they still don't open up and eat, they'll really only be with their companions from two months ago.
