326: Seven hundred melons on one vine!

Inside the Streamer's room, the audience was also dumbfounded.

Initially, everyone thought Su Yu had merely increased watermelon yield through genetic modification, but the scene before them exceeded their comprehension.

A single watermelon vine could cover an entire yard of seventy to eighty square meters! And who knows how much of it had climbed beyond the surrounding walls.

If you told this to a dog, it would shake its head.

This was too outrageous!

It was only because the vine's leaves remained the same size as normal watermelon leaves; otherwise, everyone would have truly wondered if this thing had undergone some kind of mutation.

Let's hope it doesn't actually lead to a Resident Evil scenario; that would be interesting!

It's important to know that, generally speaking, the optimal number of watermelons per vine is kept within five!

If you want bigger watermelons, you just need to pinch off all the extra watermelon flowers. This way, all the nutrients from one vine are supplied to a single melon, allowing it to grow large and sweet.

Of course, if you want smaller watermelons, controlling their size to be within the range of gift melons, then three or four flowers per vine are just right.

Four watermelons sharing the nutrients of one vine means each melon won't grow too large, and their size will be just right.

This is the typical method used by farmers to cultivate watermelons.

However, Su Yu was in no mood to consider whether or not to prune flowers later.

Firstly, because the growth rate of the watermelon vine was simply too fast.

If dozens or hundreds of flowers bloomed simultaneously, he wouldn't be able to prune all the excess flowers in an instant.

But it wouldn't be scientific to pause the growth acceleration shed and prune them one by one.

That would defeat the purpose of the test.

Secondly, because the area covered by the vine was simply too vast; by the time he completed one full round, the sun would likely have set.

Outsiders who didn't know might even think he had set up a watermelon cultivation base in his yard.

Therefore, the only method right now was to let the vine continue to grow.

Su Yu could only pray in his heart that this venture wouldn't become too grand, otherwise, if he couldn't manage it later, it would be troublesome... In Nanshan Villa, within the community.

Countless green vines, like winding snakes, twisted and crawled in all directions.

They covered the green belts, the artificial paths, the walls, and many had even climbed into other people's yards.

At this moment, a little boy who was playing with his dog in his own yard stared blankly at the top of the courtyard wall.

There, a green vine was seen peeking over the railing on the wall.

At first, the little boy thought he was seeing things.

He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again, only to see that the green vine, which had just barely poked through, had now coiled itself around the railing and even enveloped the plants along the wall.

A moment later, vines extended in from all sides of the wall. Like a green monster opening its gaping maw, it instantly swallowed the small yard.

Woof woof woof woof!

Terrified barks rang out, accompanied by the little boy's wailing.

"Waaah! Mom, the green vine, the green vine is eating people!"

...At the same time.

Similar scenes began to unfold on a large scale in homes all around Su Yu.

Some people noticed the strangeness of the vines and immediately pulled out large garden shears to begin blocking the vines that were invading their homes.

Those without large shears took kitchen knives, and whenever they saw a vine extending in, they decisively chopped it off.

However, although the scene looked somewhat chilling, since the vines caused no actual harm, people were just frantically trying to cope.

In the monitoring room.

The duty officer, who was originally monitoring the various roads in the community, suddenly stood up from his seat.

On the monitor, he clearly saw vines, appearing from who-knows-where, rapidly extending along the green belt by the roadside.

Before long, even his monitoring camera was covered by the dense vines.

The duty officer's expression changed, and he pulled out his walkie-talkie to quickly report the situation.

"Something's wrong! In the direction of Building 35, some unknown plant vines seem to be spreading rapidly!"

"Send a team to check immediately!"

"Received, respond immediately! Received, respond immediately!"

In less than two seconds, a voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Received! Received! Proceeding to the scene immediately!"

The duty officer in the monitoring room stared intently at the remaining large screen view.

"The plant's spread speed is extremely fast, and the source might be before Building 32!"

Before Building 32?!

The duty officer on the other end of the walkie-talkie felt a tightening in his heart.

Oh no, wasn't that the special area that the leader specifically emphasized? I heard that important protected person lives in that direction!

Could it be that foreign assassins have secretly infiltrated the community again, preparing to carry out an assassination?

He dared not delay for a moment, and quickly led his team towards Building 32... At this moment, Su Yu had no idea that his super-yield seed experiment had caused such a big commotion in the community.

His eyes were fixed on the watermelon vine.

After a period of growth, the first flower on the vine finally bloomed!

Followed by the second, then the third.

Before Su Yu could even react, these competing flowers almost simultaneously bloomed, withered, and bore fruit!

Green little balls gradually formed from the flower buds, starting as small as quail eggs, then growing larger and more numerous.

Finally, it's bearing fruit!

Watching the small green fruits gradually form and enlarge, the stone hanging in Su Yu's heart finally fell.

If he continued to let the vine grow like this, he was truly afraid he wouldn't be able to resist stopping the ripening process of the growth acceleration shed.

Who knew if his genetically modified super-yield seeds had truly succeeded; they hadn't flowered or borne fruit, and if this thing only grew vines, it would be a huge failure.

Fortunately, hard work finally paid off!

Just before Su Yu was about to give up, the vine began to change.

To be honest, this was his first time growing watermelons.

Watching the fruits gradually grow, Su Yu felt an inexplicable excitement.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... He casually scanned the yard and found no less than a hundred small watermelon fruits within his own yard alone.

Upon seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room finally couldn't help but burst into expletives.

"What the f*ck! Someone tell me if I'm blind! One seed, and it grew a whole yard of watermelons?!"

"It worked!! Hahahaha! Brother Su's research really succeeded, super-yield seeds!"

"People usually have seven flowers on one vine, but the Streamer must have seven hundred melons on one vine? This is too amazing!"

"Yamete, aren't watermelons precious fruits? This is unscientific!"

"It's over, it's over, watermelons from Island Country will be completely worthless from now on!"
