Seeing this, Ye Heng said, “I don’t have any plans for the time being. I just want to go back to my hometown and rest for a while.”

“Right. After all, you haven’t had a good rest in the past few years. It’s time for you to go back,” Zhao Yao said slightly.

“Zhao Yao, don’t worry. I won’t fall so easily. I can still fight for the things that were taken away, but I have to rest for a few days this time. Maybe I’ll take a look at the research on plants later.”

Ye Heng replied, his eyes full of smiles.

“Okay, if you need me, you can call me anytime.” Zhao Yao was still worried.

“Alright, don’t worry.”

Ye Heng replied with a smile and gestured to her not to worry.

After the meal, he left Zhao Yao’s house.

Before returning to his hometown, Ye Heng wanted to go to the flower and bird market.

Of course, he also needed to visit the places that sold seeds.

Facing the sudden appearance of the system, he needed to buy some flowers, plants and seeds of fruits and vegetables to carry out the experiments.

Fortunately, Ye Heng’s previous job was related to plants, so he was very familiar with the places that sold seeds.

Not long after, Ye Heng used fifty thousand yuan to buy all kinds of seeds, soil and potted plants back.

It was almost as if he had bought the entire market.

In the end, Ye Heng had to call the transportation company to send a truck over to bring the things back.

His hometown was in the suburbs of this city, and his place of residence was a very shabby house with a small courtyard.

Moreover, this city was upgraded from a county town to a city.

Therefore, it was not as developed as the surrounding first-tier and second-tier cities.

At least from the outside, it was still an ordinary small county town.

These things used for planting were placed in the courtyard and piled up fully.

“System, turn on the extraction furnace.”

Upon Ye Heng’s command, a furnace appeared in front of him.

At the same time, the top lid was opened.

Through the system’s mechanical electronic voice, Ye Heng understood that only he could see this furnace.

“Please place the plants and seeds that need to be extracted in the furnace. The system can extract their high-quality characteristics.”

“Oh, it’s their high-quality characteristics.”

When Ye Heng heard this, he was a little excited.

Then, he threw the cactus that he had bought into the furnace.

The lid of the extraction furnace was closed and then there was a surge of light.

“Beep, normal drought-resistance tested. Do you want to extract the relevant characteristic?”

“Extract it,” Ye Heng immediately said.

“Congratulations, host, you have obtained normal drought-resistance characteristics.”

Ye Heng looked at the description given by the system.

With this drought-resistance characteristic, plants would be able to survive in the arid desert.

“Next, extract the high-quality characteristics.”

Seeing that the furnace given by the system was effective, Ye Heng was instantaneously excited.

After all, as a person who worked in the horticulture industry, he was very clear about the benefits of extracting the high-quality characteristics of plants.

After the first attempt, he was even more experienced in carrying out the extraction operation.

Following the second attempt, he extracted the climbing characteristics from the vines.

The third attempt was to extract the anti-infertile characteristics.

In other words, plants could still survive in extremely infertile soil.

Then, he extracted the characteristics that did not require sunlight to grow.

The last attempt was to extract the characteristics of rapid growth from the bamboo.

After extracting five characteristics in succession, Ye Heng shut the extraction furnace.

He had no choice. He had only extracted five times, but he already felt exhausted and could not continue.

After resting for two hours, Ye Heng opened another furnace.

In his opinion, the five high-quality characteristics that he currently had were enough.

There were a total of four furnaces here and the one that he opened was already so powerful, then the other furnaces must be even more powerful.

After opening the fusion furnace, Ye Heng heard the system’s mechanical electronic voice again.

“Host, please add in the seeds that require fusion of characteristics.”

“I also need to provide the seeds.”

Ye Heng muttered to himself then reached his hand into the pile of seeds to get one seed and threw that into the furnace.

“Beep, tomato seed found.”

“Do you want to fuse?”

At the end of this sentence, there were remarks on the five different high-quality characteristics.

Seeing the page that popped up from the system, Ye Heng chose the drought-resistance characteristic.

Then, the lid of the fusion furnace was closed.

After waiting for some time, the system indicated that the fusion process was a success.

“Drought-resistance tomato seed, average grade, can successfully survive in barren deserts.”

“It’s so powerful.”

Seeing the system notification, Ye Heng was amazed by it.

If such characteristics could be fused into rice, wouldn’t everyone in China be able to eat their fill in the future?

It could even benefit the entire world?

“Continue to fuse.”

However, after seeing that it was an average grade, Ye Heng immediately made up his mind to fuse the other high-quality characteristics as well.

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a drought-resistant and anti-infertile seed.”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a triple-resistance tomato seed.”

Ye Heng didn’t expect that he would be able to obtain consecutive successes in all three fusions.

Even so, the system still considered the seed with so many characteristics to be average.

“One more time.”

“Beep, congratulations to the host for obtaining a rapid growing double-resistance tomato seed.”

Good heavens, he did not expect that there would be no drought-resistance characteristic in this last attempt.

It was extremely similar to some unscrupulous games.

However, just as Ye Heng was about to enhance it again, he felt his head spin and almost fell to the ground.

Only then did he realize that whether it was extracting the characteristics or fusing the characteristics, it required willpower.

After so many attempts, Ye Heng felt that it had taken a toll on his health.

“It’s alright. It’s already pretty good to have rapid growth and double-resistance characteristics. The most important thing now is to try planting it.”

“But this name is still too long. Maybe I can call it top-tier Tomato No. 1.”

Ye Heng was a little nervous as he held the small seed in his palm.

It was as if there was a black pearl in his palm and it was glowing brightly.

Top-tier Tomato No. 1 only required one and a half months to grow and bear fruit.

As for the other tomatoes, there was no way they could compete against it.

Furthermore, this Tomato No. 1 had drought-resistance and fast-growing characteristics, which made it even more outstanding.

“Then I’ll try planting it today and see if it does possess these characteristics.”

However, just as Ye Heng took out an empty soil basin, he heard the system’s electronic sound.

“Beep Beep, a reminder to the host, you can cultivate seeds in the system’s cultivation furnace.”

“In this furnace produced by the system, you can speed up the growth of the plants. In addition, before proceeding, the host can use the replication furnace to replicate the seeds.”

“Since the seed can only be planted one time, if it is put into use, the host needs to replicate the top-tier Tomato No. 1 seed again.”

Ye Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard that..
