The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C30 – The Cucumber Was Ripe

President Chen once gifted Su Ming a car.

The primary motive was Su Ming being a significant client of theirs.

They had the leverage to utilize Su Ming’s 100 million for diverse investments, and the returns they’d reap would be much more than the car’s worth.

However, they couldn’t offer him anything pricier.

Yet, when President Chen learned of Su Ming’s land valued at ten billion.

That explained his actions this afternoon.

It’s highly probable that this is just the beginning.

Su Ming surveyed the cleared area and softly applauded.

All the weeds were cleared away, and his next task was to prepare the soil.

Su Ming headed to the straw hut, bringing out a plow to till the land.

Observing the cleared space, Su Ming pondered.

What crop should he choose next?

Previously, he had sowed three types of seeds, and two had yielded produce.

He had a pumpkin and most recently, a golden melon.

He also had a tomato plant, which ultimately gave him a golden egg filled with electronic goods and precious jade jewelry.

The cucumber was nearing maturity.

Truthfully, Su Ming wasn’t lacking in funds anymore.

Apart from the hundred million in his account, the items from the damaged box alone could fetch a handsome sum.

What intrigued Su Ming the most was uncovering further treasures this land might offer.

He was true to his word.

Eagerly, Su Ming went over and sifted through the seed packets.

He decided on planting potatoes this round.

Potatoes are a staple crop, in demand throughout the year.

While at home, Su Ming frequently assisted his parents in cultivating potatoes.

Consequently, he was well-acquainted with the nuances of potato cultivation.

He began by adding some fertilizer, subsequently layering it with soil.

He then sliced the potatoes, ensuring the sprouts remained embedded in the soil.

Next, he blanketed the potatoes with additional soil.

The entire potato planting operation was straightforward, devoid of any intricate technique.

Yet, the vast expanse of two acres presented a challenge.

The quantity of potato seeds he had was insufficient.

Pondering over the vacant space, Su Ming realized he might have to diversify his crops.

Maybe cabbage, chili peppers, or even eggplants.

He believed vegetable cultivation was a breeze. In a pinch, he even considered planting an apple tree.

“The potato crop is successfully sown! Expected harvest in 56 hours!”

Was it possible for potatoes to mature in just over two days?

A notification sound echoed in Su Ming’s mind, momentarily catching him off guard.

He had always believed plants took over ten hours to flourish, but this experience suggested otherwise.

Nonetheless, Su Ming remained patient.

After all, in typical conditions, potatoes require several months to reach maturity.

But with the System’s assistance, a mere two days and a bit was all it took for the potatoes.

Utilizing his earlier know-how, he meticulously watered and fertilized each plant.

As expected, a subsequent notification indicated a shorter growth period and heightened yield.

He had plans to cultivate other crops, but dusk was setting in. His hunger pangs and fatigue were catching up.

After a refreshing shower, Su Ming changed into fresh clothes from his rental stash and treated himself to a hearty meal.

To his astonishment, upon his return, he found the cucumbers had already matured!

What would he gain this time?
