327: No, what happened to the claim that watermelons are precious?
In the live stream, gloating fans started to tease him.
After all, it was the audience from the island nations who initially suggested Su Yu create the super-yield watermelon seeds.
Countries like Japan and Korea… Due to the unique geographical conditions of these island nations, the areas available for fruit and vegetable cultivation are actually very limited.
Therefore, most of their domestic fruits and vegetables rely on overseas imports.
Fresh fruits are among the categories with the highest spoilage rate, making them naturally expensive!
As a high-quality fruit with ample water content and low sugar, watermelon is also a favorite among the health-conscious people of the island nations.
For nobles and conglomerates, imported fruits can be enjoyed at will as long as they have money.
But for ordinary citizens, watermelon is a fruit assassin!
Its high price makes it unaffordable for most people.
So, from the very beginning, the island nation viewers harbored a longing, hoping to see if Su Yu could fulfill their wish of enjoying low-priced watermelons.
Apparently, whether they will be able to enjoy them in the future is still unknown to everyone.
But right now, the Streamer's yard is facing an unprecedented watermelon crisis!
Su Yu watched helplessly as the small watermelons grew rapidly like balloons being inflated, almost every blink of an eye, he could see the watermelon's volume had grown a bit more.
There was no issue of insufficient nutrient distribution due to too many watermelons on one vine.
Logically, if a normal watermelon vine has more than ten watermelons, those watermelons on the vine would rarely grow to exceed ten catties.
But the super-yield watermelon seed lived up to its name; one vine producing hundreds or thousands of watermelons had already broken the rule of energy conservation.
The subsequent unhindered, frantic growth left global viewers dumbfounded.
In a blink of an eye, all the watermelons on the vines had grown larger than a volleyball, and each weighed no less than five catties!
The rinds were a vibrant green, with dark green patterns like intricate lightning imprinted on them; one could tell it was an exceptionally good watermelon without even cutting it open.
Each watermelon was perfectly round and full, all spherical in shape; it was unknown what variety Su Yu had developed them from.
Ordinary watermelons grow along the vine on the ground, which is nothing unusual.
But today's watermelons were different! Because the vines spread out in all directions, they covered the courtyard walls, the railings, and even the outdoor ceiling.
And wherever there were vines, there were watermelons!
At this moment, countless watermelons hung densely in every visible spot.
At a glance, they looked like giant green grapes hanging in bunches.
Who has ever seen an entire wall covered with watermelons?
Isn't this a joke?
Moreover, the watermelons were not light; each one weighed several catties.
These dozens of watermelons weighed at least several hundred catties, yet the vines didn't seem to break.
Instead, they hung tightly from the vines like small green lanterns.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! He's rich, the Streamer is really rich this time! How much money could all these watermelons sell for!"
"Aren't watermelons fruits that grow on the ground? Can someone tell me why the Streamer's watermelons can grow in the sky, on walls, everywhere?"
"Streamer, Streamer, quickly stop your magic. Otherwise, if they keep growing like this, who knows how big these watermelons will get."
"Brother Su, I also think we might be able to stop soon. Now that the watermelons have grown, we can fly over the community to count them and end the experiment. If we let all the watermelons ripen, then moving these ripe watermelons will be a difficult problem."
Su Yu was speechless.
That logic seemed to be correct.
Should he stop now and put away the growth acceleration shed?
No, how can one give up halfway through something!
These watermelons had only grown to half their size, and it would only take a few more minutes for them to fully ripen.
Since the watermelons had already grown, instead of stopping now, it would be better to let them all fully mature.
These watermelons could still be given away to eat later.
Thinking of this, Su Yu ultimately did not stop the growth acceleration shed's catalysis, letting them continue to grow.
A few minutes later.
The patrol officers, originally responsible for the community's security, saw their path blocked by an overwhelming number of watermelons, their expressions changed, and they quickly called their teammates on the walkie-talkie.
"Come quickly! Everyone, come!"
"The incident location is precisely in the direction of the protection target!"
The patrol officers on the other end of the walkie-talkie also changed their expressions drastically, and everyone "whooshed" out of the rest area, rushing towards Su Yu's direction.
As they ran, everyone inquired about the specific situation.
"Squad leader, what exactly happened?"
The squad leader's words came with difficulty through the walkie-talkie.
"The target seems, seems to be surrounded by watermelons!"
...After turning off the growth acceleration shed, Su Yu casually picked up a watermelon from the ground.
At this point, the watermelon was completely ripe, and each one had grown to a full ten catties, not too big, not too small, perfectly meeting the standard for gift watermelons on the market.
He gently patted the watermelon rind, and the dull thumping sound was very pleasant to hear.
This was a sign that the watermelon was completely ripe!
Seeing Su Yu's action, the viewers in the live stream no longer cared about the situation outside the yard.
Since things had come to this, checking the quality of the watermelon was the most important thing.
Everyone urged him on.
"Brother Su, quickly cut open a watermelon and let's see!"
"Exactly, exactly, this is the moment of truth! If the watermelon can really be eaten directly, the Streamer's technique is simply a blessing for humanity!"
"If the super-yield watermelon seed can succeed, does that also mean that other crops, or fruits and vegetables, can also undergo research for super-yield seeds?"
"Don't get sidetracked, Streamer, quickly cut open a watermelon!"
Su Yu looked at the watermelon in his arms and no longer hesitated, tapping it lightly with his knuckles.
Without seeming to exert any force, in the next second, the watermelon made a crisp sound and burst open.
The vibrant green rind encased the bright red flesh, and the crisp flesh was incredibly appetizing!
Juice sprayed out, carrying the unique refreshing aroma of watermelon!
The watermelon was seedless; when he broke off a piece, it felt like breaking chocolate.
What a great watermelon!!!
Su Yu's eyes lit up.
He put the small piece he broke off into his mouth, chewing and savoring it carefully.
The pure sweet flesh melted in his mouth, with a crisp texture and abundant juice; eating it felt less like chewing fruit and more like directly drinking watermelon juice!
It succeeded!!
Although the watermelons in front of him didn't look very big, they were absolutely the best watermelons Su Yu had ever eaten! Bar none!
Most importantly, the yield of the super-yield watermelon seed had reached an unprecedented and unparalleled quantity.
One vine produced watermelons, probably several tons or more!
The only uncertainty was that today, to quickly test the results, he used the growth acceleration shed for accelerated ripening.
Would it achieve such taste and yield if grown under normal conditions!
