Chapter 336 - Special Crop
Su Ming laughed heartily for quite some time.
After all his years of farming, he had finally stumbled upon a special crop.
But then President Chen presented him with not one, but two special crops.
Su Ming pondered for a moment.
His luck had been extraordinary over the last couple of days.
First, he had triggered the special reward in the breeding zone, and now he had received two special crops from President Chen.
The Blessing Potion was truly remarkable!
President Chen was beside himself with frustration.
Why was Su Ming laughing?
?Unable to contain his curiosity, President Chen blinked and, gathering his courage, asked, “Mr. Su, why are you laughing?”
Seeing President Chen's hopeful look made Su Ming even more delighted.
“President Chen, I truly appreciate the gift you've given me.”
“Rest assured, I won't let your generosity go unrewarded.”
Su Ming gave President Chen a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
Hearing this, President Chen was thrilled.
?He experienced a whirlwind of emotions, from initial fear to overwhelming joy.
Su Ming's words suggested that he would certainly reciprocate with something equally valuable.
The gifts from Mr. Su were never ordinary.
The last gifts Su Ming had given were the Body-stretching Pill and fennel.
Their effects were outstanding.
Even without a wink of sleep, he felt full of vigor.
And his wife's spirits were lifted as well.
“President Chen, I have some pressing matters to take care of, so I must be on my way,” Su Ming said, barely able to contain his eagerness.
?He was anxious to get back and plant these special crops.
Before President Chen could respond, Su Ming was already heading downstairs.
President Chen was taken aback.
He thought to himself, “Mr. Su, I haven't even told you what kind of seeds these are.”
But President Chen figured that Su Ming must already know what crop the seeds would yield.
If Su Ming didn't recognize them, he wouldn't be farming in the heart of the city.
If Su Ming didn't recognize them, he wouldn't be so overjoyed.
“Wait, Mr. Su, you haven't told me why you were laughing,” President Chen realized, just as Su Ming had descended the stairs.
He quickly followed after him.
“Mr. Su, please visit again soon,” President Chen called out from the doorway.
?Though he was eager to find out why Su Ming was laughing, he understood that Su Ming had urgent business to attend to.
President Chen had no choice but to hold back his curiosity.
“Mr. Su, you've put in a lot of effort.”
“Mr. Su, have a safe journey.”
The bank staff closely trailed President Chen.
They lined up at the entrance, uniformly waving farewell to Su Ming.
Both the bank's patrons and passersby at the door were left in shock.
Why were these bank employees acting this way?
Overhearing their words, Su Ming nearly stumbled.
It felt as though they were seeing him off at his own funeral.
Shaking his head, Su Ming climbed into his car and drove off.
On the road, it dawned on him that he hadn't inquired about the type of seed President Chen had given him.
“Yuvyuv, what kind of seeds are these?” Su Ming inquired.
?”Top-grade orchid seeds,” Yuvyuv responded.
?Su Ming nodded in understanding.
Orchids, particularly the premium varieties, could fetch a hefty price. At times, a single orchid might sell for several million.
?Cultivating orchids was a challenging task, requiring precise control of temperature, moderation, moisture, nutrition, and timing.
Crucially, each orchid had its own unique temperament.
He couldn't apply the same cultivation method to different orchids.
Yuvyuv offered a piece of advice, “I would suggest that you hold off on planting orchids for now.”
Su Ming hit the brakes.
?Thankfully, he was at a red light. Otherwise, he might have caused an accident.
“Why?” Su Ming queried.
?”Your System is about to upgrade. I recommend you wait to plant the orchids until after the upgrade for a better yield,” Yuvyuv advised.
Su Ming paused, taking a moment to reflect.
?Yuvyuv, a creation of the System, shared its essence.
She could be seen as the embodiment of the System.
Her advice was surely trustworthy!
Though eager, Su Ming decided it was best to wait.
That morning, he had noticed the demolition work on the building had started and would be completed in a couple of days.
?Following the upgrade, he would be able to harvest rice and chickens.
Then, he would be fully informed about the System's updates.
With this in mind, Su Ming eased off the accelerator.
?Having just crossed an intersection, it suddenly struck him that his work shoes were worn out. He needed to buy a few pairs for his labor-intensive tasks.
?After giving it some thought, Su Ming headed straight to the nearby mall. He parked his car and made his way inside. Su Ming ended up purchasing quite a few pairs of shoes. He realized that he had absolutely no interest in luxury items. The mall was filled with leather shoes costing thousands, but Su Ming didn't even feel like giving them a glance. However, his interest was piqued by the cloth shoes and the thick-soled military boots.
?Back in the parking lot, Su Ming noticed a middle-aged man sitting on a small stool, eating his lunch in the shade of Su Ming's car. The man looked like he could be a delivery driver. Su Ming wasn't in any rush. He strolled over, opened his car door, and tossed the shoes inside.
?The middle-aged man, who was eating from his lunchbox, smiled at Su Ming and asked, “Thank you. Are you a delivery guy too?”
Su Ming simply nodded.
“How many hours do you work each day?” inquired the man.
?Su Ming stroked his chin, pondering the question seriously before replying, “I can manage two round trips.”
?Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man choked and spat out a mouthful of his meal. He couldn't help but wonder, “If he's making two round trips a day, is he earning enough to cover his meals?”
