46 The Power of the Magical Watering Can

The magical watering can looks ordinary. It was a standard white metalic watering can like a normal looking watering can. George wasn't convinced by that at all.

「Ding! Don't think negatively first! Let me tell you, when you showered the plants, you need to use some spiritual qi and the plants that's were flowered will grow faster. If you watered it for a minute, it equals for an hour. To be honest, this item was inspired from the watering can inside of the Extra Utilities 2 mod, but because the original from a game wasn't too logical, as it could water the plants infinitely and they grows very quickly, we modified it a little.」

George frowned, not believing about the nonsense, but he thought that trying won't hurt. He filled it with water, and as the A.I. said, he channeled his spiritual qi to the watering can and watered it.

"Mmn.. i think that inside minecraft, these nether warts grows really fast. It's like fifteen minutes in real life! And the time inside of minecraft is exactly seventy two times faster than in real life.. So.. to grow these to mature, i need to use the watering can for... uh.." He used his hands to calculate how much time he need to give the nether wart water from the magical watering can.

"Eighteen minutes doing this thing.. Uhh.. okay.." He called Sun Zhou to do it. He was too bored to do this thing.

"What is it, master?"

George patted his shoulder "Uhh.. could you help me watering this plant.. for eighteen minutes?"

He looked at George in confusion "But, won't they die if we watered it too much?"

"It's not a normal watering can, okay.. you need to channel your spiritual qi while watering it, so the plants will grow faster."

Sun Zhou narrowed his eyes at the watering can. "So it's master's new inventions? As expected of our master! He's the best!"

George felt kinda embarrassed by his compliment. "Don't forget to refill it if it was emptied out!"

Sun Zhou nodded and continued concentrating on watering the nether warts. Meanwhile George was sitting comfortably in one of the chair.

As he was dozing off for a little, there's a guy who entered the shop. "A new shop? What kind of shop is this?"

Su Ling immediately went to that man and said "This is an eli- no.. a potion shop!"

"Potion? what is a potion?" The man wondered.

Su Ling slowly explained about the potions to the man, but he just said in the end. "So.. it's basically an elixir with a lot of heaven defying effects?"

Su Ling felt that her explanations were ignored completely. With a twitch in her mouth, she said "Uhh.. yes."

While nodding, he looked at the items that's being sold. He looked at the potion of regeneration. "Potion of regeneration.. can it heals severed limbs?"

Su Ling immediately said "It can do that! I can testify for that.."

The man gasped in shock. "How much is it?" He said with a glistening eyes. He had a brother who has a hand, which was cleaved with an unknown weapon. With such a heaven defying thing, there's some hope for him.

"Okay.. do not panic when you hear about the price! It's five hundred spirit stone.." Su Ling said softly.

That man's face suddenly darkened when he heard that "Five hundred? Are you kidding me? Who the hell want to buy that expensive thing! This is a daylight robbery and i bet that thing doesn't even work as it said! The owner of this shop is definetly a quack too!" He rushed to go outside the store and never looked back. He thought that the most expensive one would probably only ten spirit stones, but that's really a lot of it.

Su Ling looked at the man awkwardly and glanced at George with a half smile. "Hey! How dare you said things like that in the front of my master! Uhh.. master.. please don't get angry at that man. Uhh.."

George nodded "I know.. That man didn't know what's good for him! If it was getting popular, he won't get the potion easily.. Hmph!"

Su Ling laughed awkwardly "I think that we should sell all kind of popular potions like an auction style! If the potions that were stocked and immediately was bought.. No, we definetly need to use that. If not, i think that there would be a constant bloodbath in outside of master's shop!"

George nodded his head in agreement. "Well.. that's for the future.. Sigh! For now, we need a costumer first! Well.. it's already almost eighteen minutes.. I'll go check on my nether warts plants! If there's a problem, shout loudly, okay!" He left the first floor and went to the second floor to see what's happening to it.

Su Ling nodded her head and continued to work as a clerk.

...

George looked at the nether warts plant that he planted a few minutes ago. There's a lot of new sprouts that's growing nearby the original nether warts that he planted.

"How come it's not eighteen hours?" He thought.

Seeing his master come, Sun Zhou looked at him in admiration. "This magical artifact is really cool! How could it make a plant to grow that fast?"

George smiled awkwardly when he heard that. "It only worked on this type of plants only.. As it grew really fast, i think.. And with the help of the magical watering can, it will make a plant grow an hour if you watered it for a minute, so it's only have been growing for eighteen hour right now.."

If it was used to grow a normal plants, it'd take a lot of time to grow it completely. For example, to grow a cabbage.. to harvest it, you need eighty to one hundred and eighty days to do that. If it was converted to hours, it was 1920 - 4320 hours, so we need to kept watering it for... Uhh.. thirty two to seventy two hours to harvest it. Maybe it's good if this world was an apocalyptic world and George didn't have anything to eat, and he had lot of water nearby.. And he also conveniently had some cabbage seeds to grow.

"I don't think if it was worth it to do that for a long time.. I'd just rather buying my food than growing it like that!" Thought George.
