The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 19 Counting Harvest
After returning to the Wanjie Grocery Store, the system's voice appeared in my mind.

- Introducing technologies from other worlds to bring unpredictable evolutionary directions to the development of the Plants vs. Zombies world. Gain 3 offset points.

Why is it so little? Ryan frowned. This technical exchange is likely to change the development direction of a level 3 world. Giving only offset points is a bit too little.

Fortunately, as Ryan's strength increased, the system provided more information on the notice board than before.

After reading it, Ryan realized that the rewards given now were only temporary, and were just the world offset caused by Dave, the son of luck in that world, just getting the information. When he goes to that world next time, he will calculate the offset points again based on the changes that have occurred in that world.

It turned out to be a long-term task, but taking it slow and steady is also a good idea. Now Ryan has 25 points of deviation, and next time he can find a world with greater rewards to adventure.

In addition to the most important offset point, a greenhouse farm was also harvested, which upgraded Ryan's planting base to a small planting base (farm) + micro base (yard). It is just right for planting the newly added plants without having to uproot the original plants to make room for the new plants.

The two rows of plants on the shelves behind the counter speak volumes about the harvest.

The rows below are full. In addition to the original Sunshine Sunflowers, Pea Shooters and Sunshine Mushrooms, there are also seven common plants harvested this time. They are:

Wall Nut, Pea Shooter, Cherry Bomb, Tombstone Moss, Lantern Plant, Piranha Plant, Water Lily

Although they are all the most basic plant species, they at least allow Ryan to have a plant army that can cope with most environments.

In addition to these common varieties, there are three pots of advanced plants on the upper shelf, including fire dragon grass, twin sunflowers and machine gun peas.

Of these plants, the common ones still produce ten per week, while the advanced varieties can only produce two per week.

On the cabinet next to the counter, in addition to the original golden book, "Winter Home Industrial Manual", there is now a black book, "Crazy Dave's Beginner's Guide to Plant Cultivation".

After looking at these two books, Ryan decided to study them. When he focused on the two books, he found that the cost of learning the two books quickly was different.

It takes 1 offset point to fully learn the Winter Home Industrial Manual, because it is just an ordinary mechanical book with only a little science fiction, and the cost of learning is very small. However, Crazy Dave's Beginner's Guide to Plant Cultivation is a cultivation guide specifically for extraordinary plants. To learn it, you need 5 offset points.
Ryan thought about it and finally decided to study both books together. After all, mechanical knowledge is very useful in many situations, and the method of cultivating extraordinary plants, think about the herbology class in Hogwarts, you will know that this is a knowledge directly linked to strength.

The accumulated offset points are not all used to increase your strength. Otherwise, if you hold the offset points in your hand, but end up with some tragic consequences due to insufficient strength, wouldn’t it be too late to regret it? Therefore, it is the dumbest idea to just save the offset points and not spend them.

Ryan sat on the only chair in the store, then chose knowledge infusion, and the offset points became 19 points.

At this time, a beam of light appeared on each of the two books, and then connected to Ryan's head. Ryan heard a lullaby echoing in his mind, and he slowly fell asleep to the lullaby. Ryan seemed to have a dream while sleeping, dreaming that he was next to a lake. And from the colorful clouds in the sky, two streams of water flowed into the lake, making a pleasant ding-dong sound.

Ryan felt like he was half lying on the soft grass by the lake, looking up at the sky, feeling extremely relaxed.

One of the two streams ended quickly, but the other took a long time to end completely.

Just when things were returning to calm, Ryan felt a suction force above his head, and then his eyes went dark. He woke up and found himself still sitting in the chair.

"Why isn't there the needle-like pain described in the novels? Could it be that the transmission hasn't started yet?" He was a little confused, but when he thought about it in his mind, he soon found that he had memorized the knowledge from the two books and he only needed to practice to fully master it.

"That's right. No one has ever said that the brain must be tortured before it can be transmitted. It seems that I was worrying too much before. But it's good this way. Otherwise, every time I transmit knowledge, I roll on the ground in pain as if I were slaughtered. It is not a good thing." After thinking about these things, Ryan began to carefully count the knowledge in his mind.

The Winter House Industrial Manual gave Ryan a wealth of mechanical knowledge, but he had only repaired bicycles before, so he couldn't see any progress in his mastery of mechanics.

But "Crazy Dave's Beginner's Guide to Plant Cultivation" is different. In addition to understanding how to judge the conditions of the plants brought out from Plants vs. Zombies and how to cultivate them, it also combines the knowledge of herbology lessons learned at Hogwarts.

Ryan was surprised to find that he had mastered the knowledge he had learned in the herbal medicine class before. It seems that this book helps him more than he thought.

After roughly organizing the data transmitted into his brain, he recalled the nervousness he felt when the zombies swarmed in, and thought to himself: It turns out that effort is proportional to reward. Although there were some risks in this trip to the Plants vs. Zombies world, the rewards far exceeded the previous adventures in other worlds. Not to mention the things he gained in the end, the experience gained from using magic in actual combat alone can be said to be extremely precious.

However, the crises encountered this time were all anticipated in advance, so the whole adventure process was safe. However, after repelling the zombie attack, Ryan was almost killed by the zombies ambushed in the soil. This also made Ryan realize a key point of adventure: in the future, when doing any action, you must strike a balance between safety and expected gains, and don't pursue extreme gains.

In the end, he got 1000 Galleons of gold, which was not a lot, but considering that Harry Potter risked a quarter of his mortality in the Triwizard Tournament and worked for a whole semester to earn this amount, this was a good reward.

After summarizing the gains of this adventure, Ryan thought there was nothing else to do. He stood up and looked around the store with satisfaction. After his eyes stayed on the first shelf filled with plants for a few seconds, he chose to return.

Lying back on the bed, Ryan found that only an hour had passed, which made him feel inexplicably confused about time. After all, he had fought for a whole day in the world of Plants vs. Zombies, and his first battle had kept him in a state of excitement.

This also made Ryan a little insomniac, but when he thought about having to go to class as usual tomorrow, he forced himself to close his eyes.

After tossing and turning in bed for an unknown amount of time, Ryan finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
