Chapter 337: Rare Treasure Garden

Our Apartment Complex Transmigrated… Again

Arriving at the field, Qin Ziwen originally planned to transplant all the crops from the entire field into other plots before upgrading.

But soon he realized he had thought it a bit too simply. The Sky-Touching fruit tree and the Deep Sea Oxygen had already taken root and sprouted in the field; their root systems coiled like submerged dragons, plunging not only deep downward but also spreading outward in all directions, aggressively seizing the living space of many surrounding crops, behaving like a land-grabbing tyrant.

Wei Zhaohua hurried over after receiving Jia Liangcai’s message.

The moment he heard the field was about to be upgraded to an Advanced Building,

this man who poured his heart into agriculture flushed with excitement.

“Guild Leader, trust me, upgrading the field will definitely be fine! We haven’t developed industry yet, so improving agriculture first is absolutely the right move.”

“It’s just that this tree’s roots are a little deep.” Qin Ziwen pointed to the ground.

Wei Zhaohua bent down to inspect and immediately understood the Guild Leader’s concerns, quickly explaining, “Guild Leader, a developed root system is a good thing; it shows vigorous growth. Look at that canopy, it’s much denser than before.”

Qin Ziwen had noticed that too, but still harbored doubts. “I’m worried it might be affected by the building upgrade.”

“It’s better not to transplant it.” Wei Zhaohua shook his head. “It has too many roots. Digging them all up would take forever, and its roots are very fine—one slip and they’ll break, easily damaging the rootstock.”

Wei Zhaohua went on, “Besides, these crops are already part of the field. They might benefit from the upgrade if they stay.”

“Really…” Qin Ziwen pondered for a moment, his gaze landing on the tangling Sky-Touching tree and the Deep Sea Oxygen shimmering with a faint glow.

After a moment’s thought,

the cost of trial and error was within what he could bear.

With that decision, Qin Ziwen took out a Building Upgrade Card and crushed it in his hand.

“Puff—”

[Upgraded building area 20*20 → 200*200, please confirm that the area meets requirements]

The occupied area had jumped from four hundred square meters to forty thousand square meters.

Qin Ziwen’s heart tightened, but after a moment’s reflection he decided this could be a good thing.

After all, it was a planting-type building; a larger area meant more planting space.

Of course the area clearly did not meet the standard, so Qin Ziwen first used the Blank Expansion Card (Giant). In the distance, successive bands of light enveloped the expanded region.

The Home immediately became a convex shape; the previous area formed the raised upper part, while the newly added region became the large blank area below.

The entire Home’s overhead view turned into a miniature 3D model. Qin Ziwen stuck out a finger, held the field, placed it in the lower-left of the new region, then silently activated the upgrade.

To Wei Zhaohua it appeared as if the field in front of him vanished into thin air, leaving only bare earth.

“Guild Leader, my field!” Wei Zhaohua suddenly threw his head back.

“Follow me.”

Qin Ziwen led him to the newly expanded wide area.

The land before them was flat and vast, reaching toward a gray mist boundary, stretching so far that the end could not be seen.

Looking at this newly expanded region, Wei Zhaohua couldn’t help murmuring, “If such a huge area could all be planted, how spectacular that would be.”

Qin Ziwen couldn’t suppress a smile at the thought. “Dream on. Come with me, this is the upgraded new building.”

Following the direction of his finger, Wei Zhaohua’s gaze fell on the building ahead.

More importantly, behind the building rose a mounded hill.

A ring of three-meter-high green stone walls stood around the building, tall and heavy.

What caught the eye even more was the black hill rising behind that wall.

It stood several times taller than the surrounding wall, like a crouching giant beast; its surface exposed soil dark as ink, with sparse patches of green scattered across the hilltop.

[Advanced Building · Level 4 Rare Treasure Garden: Level 5 Adaptive Environment, Level 5 Rare Splendor Rivalry, Level 5 Spiritual Essence Infusion] (Special Effects: ① Bountiful ② Rare Spiritual Charm: superhuman plants inside the building have greatly shortened growth cycles)

Qin Ziwen checked the effects.

Adaptive Environment: Any transcendent crop planted in this garden will automatically cause the surrounding environment to change accordingly, evolving into an environment suited for its growth.

Rare Splendor Rivalry: The more transcendent plants in the garden, the more vigorous each plant’s growth and development will be.

Spiritual Essence Infusion: The “spiritual essence” emitted by transcendent plants will permeate the surrounding soil and air. Nearby ordinary plants nourished by it will grow significantly faster and, during development, will exhibit weak directional growth or mutations toward the nearest spiritual essence.

After reading the description, Qin Ziwen understood: this building’s primary effect was not to grow ordinary crops

but to cultivate transcendent crops. This was a treasure garden for transcendent plant growth, and the more transcendent plants, the stronger the effects.

Qin Ziwen roughly explained the new building’s effects to Wei Zhaohua.

Wei Zhaohua’s eyes lit up at once. “Guild Leader, does this spiritual essence infusion count as a form of directional mutation? If rice were grown next to the Sky-Touching fruit tree, would the rice produced show similar effects—could eating it make the body stronger?

And the Deep Sea Oxygen, since the surrounding ecology changes according to the plant, would its optimal environment be soil or hydroponics?”

In a short time, many possibilities had sprung up in Wei Zhaohua’s mind.

“Figure those out yourself later.” Qin Ziwen looked at the Rare Treasure Garden in front of him, feeling the scale of the task.

This is not a game where you can one-click plant, fertilize, weed, and harvest.

Farming has always been solid, physical labor.

So it’s best to leave professional matters to professionals.

However, with the field evolving into a Rare Treasure Garden, the number of rare crops here would only increase. They needed rules and regulations, and security had to be strengthened.

Qin Ziwen reported this to Jia Liangcai; Jia Liangcai nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

Then Qin Ziwen pushed open the door and entered the Rare Treasure Garden.

Whether it was psychological or not, upon entering he felt the air seemed fresher.

On the nearby hill grew an extraordinarily dense large tree.

The Sky-Touching tree’s roots penetrated deep into the soil, its branches heavy with plump fruits.

Around it rows of crops formed a circle, guarding the Sky-Touching tree at the center.

But what about the Deep Sea Oxygen?

Would this environment suit it?

With that doubt, Qin Ziwen climbed the hill, and then he saw that on the north side of the hill there was a flat area.

It had been hidden from view by the hill a moment ago.

Now, at the center of that flat area, a faintly glowing pool had appeared.

The Deep Sea Oxygen was growing luxuriantly on the pool’s surface, covering roughly three quarters of the water.

Around the pool’s edge was a band of soil submerged by shallow water, and that soil was covered with… rice paddies?

Interspersed among them were some Gray Sweet Potatoes.

Well then, it adapted that quickly—looks like my worries were unnecessary.
