The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 478 - The Top Grade Orchid Has Matured

He couldn't have misheard, could he? His parents had actually arranged a blind date for him?

Su Ming blurted out, “No, Dad, I already have a girlfriend.”

Lee Sumei responded, “Then you should introduce her to us.”

Su Ming was taken aback.

As luck would have it, Xiao Ke'er was in the capital city.

“I can prove it; she's working in the capital, and we even have a photo together,” Su Ming declared.

Su Tao challenged him, “I knew you'd come up with some excuse. Don't underestimate our knowledge. That photo could easily be doctored with technology.”

Desperate to convince them, Su Ming insisted, “I'm not deceiving you. If you don't believe me, I can call her right now.”

Lee Sumei countered, “I've read online about people hiring girls to pose as their girlfriends to trick their parents. That trick won't work on me.”

Su Ming was mortified; his parents were more informed than he'd given them credit for.

Lee Sumei added, “Unless you two get married and have a child, you won't fool us.”

Su Ming was at a loss for words.

He couldn't resist saying, “Mom, Dad, even if you don't believe Kemeng is my girlfriend, wouldn't you prefer Zhang Qianqian?”

Su Tao explained, “While Qianqian is indeed a nice girl, we want you to find an even better match. There's a girl living right downstairs. She's around your age, currently in university, and quite attractive. I've set up a blind date for you two at six o'clock this evening. You have to go.”

Su Ming was dumbfounded.

If his memory served him right, his parents had been in this building for no more than 36 hours.

How had they managed to meet the neighbors downstairs and learn about their college-aged daughter, let alone arrange a blind date, all in such a short time?

Something didn't quite add up. Why would a girl still in college be so eager to go on a blind date with him?

He never imagined he'd be pushed into a blind date.

Su Ming felt a headache brewing, but he couldn't defy his parents, especially since today was his mother's birthday.

Glancing at the clock, Lee Sumei urged, “Time is slipping away. Get ready quickly and don't forget to buy a gift for the girl.”

Su Ming exclaimed in surprise, “Mom, it's only 8 AM! There are still ten hours until 6 PM!”

Upon hearing this, Lee Sumei stood up and retorted, “You have only ten hours left before the appointed time. Can't you be a bit more anxious? Get going now!”

At a loss for words, Su Ming took out a bracelet and an e-cigarette, instructing them, “Wear this bracelet; it should bring you good luck. And this object that resembles an e-cigarette is actually a stun gun. Press here, and it will emit a high-voltage current.”

“I've got it!”

But before Su Ming could finish, Su Tao pushed him out the door.

Feeling dejected, Su Ming also couldn't help but think that if he ever got married and had kids, he would undoubtedly be at the bottom of the family hierarchy.

He sighed, shook his head, and descended the stairs.

Stepping out of the building, he encountered the noisy family from the apartment above, now sound asleep on the chairs at the entrance of the complex.

With a smile and a shake of his head, Su Ming got into his car and drove away.

Back at the villa, Su Ming didn't rush. Instead, he started to check on the plants in the garden. Glancing at the time, he noticed that the Top Grade Orchids had ripened—gifts from President Chen.

Rubbing his hands in anticipation, Su Ming wondered what these mature Top Grade Orchids would turn into.

He stepped closer for a better look. On the outside, they were still the same beautiful orchids.

But as Su Ming got closer, he noticed a dramatic transformation. The orchid leaves remained, yet the blossoms that had been at the center were now balloons, each with a chair pattern on its surface and made of an unusual material.

Su Ming paused, taken aback.

He was certain these weren't just balloons. With his knowledge of the System, he suspected there was something inside them.

Eagerly, Su Ming rubbed his hands again and carefully plucked one of the balloons. It was incredibly light, seemingly empty.

Su Ming was bewildered.

Could his planting endeavor have failed this time?

That was utterly inconceivable.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ming pulled a key from his pocket.

He whipped out an earpick and slammed it against the balloon with force.

The balloon burst.

In the next instant, Su Ming couldn't contain himself and leapt up, exclaiming, “Damn!”

Unlike a typical balloon that would have burst into countless fragments, this one transformed into tiny points of light that converged on the balloon's pattern.

The pattern grew increasingly radiant.

Then, in a sudden flash, Su Ming instinctively shielded his eyes.

When he looked again after a moment, he was astonished to see a chair before him!

The pattern had actually materialized into a chair!

He ran his hand over the chair, noting its icy chill.

Lifting it slightly, he was amazed to discover the chair weighed over a hundred pounds!

Su Ming mused, “Could it be made of steel? No, that's not possible.”

The material seemed vaguely familiar to him.

The chair appeared to be wooden, yet it was different.

Its surface was dark and glossy, exuding an air of regal sophistication.

Su Ming was confident it wasn't crafted from jade.

He had sold plenty of jade before, and if this chair were jade, it wouldn't be nearly as heavy.

“Host, congratulations! You have acquired a chair made from the Top Grade Gloomy Wood of Agarwood!” the voice in his head announced.

Su Ming nearly sprang up again, taken aback by the revelation.

It was indeed the Top Grade Gloomy Wood from Agarwood.

Lately, the System had been churning out various functional gadgets, and it had been quite some time since an item as valuable as this had emerged.

The sight of the chair crafted from Top Grade Gloomy Wood filled Su Ming with a pleasant surprise.
