Chapter 389 - A Great Harvest
Su Ming never imagined that he would have the opportunity to milk cows in his lifetime.
He had never done it before.
First, Su Ming stopped by the nearby supermarket to pick up two pairs of gloves and a couple of buckets.
He also purchased a substantial amount of medical alcohol.
Before anything else, he sterilized the gloves and buckets.
Then, carrying a small stool, he approached a cow.
Su Ming took a seat.
The cow was remarkably cooperative.
It seemed to sense what Su Ming was up to and stood there calmly.
Su Ming cleared his throat.
Then, he set about milking the cow.
Initially, he was somewhat awkward.
Despite several unsuccessful attempts, the cow remained patient.
After several tries, Su Ming finally got it right!
He was drenched in sweat from the effort…
For a seasoned milker, this task wouldn't have been so physically demanding.
But Su Ming was new to milking.
He couldn't help but laugh with joy.
He quickly bent down to inspect his work.
To his surprise, the milk he had collected was golden.
“Congratulations, Host, on acquiring the Beauty Maintaining Toner. It can smooth the skin, erase wrinkles, diminish under-eye bags, and whiten the skin!”
Su Ming paused, processing the explanation in his mind.
What's the most expensive thing on the market these days?
Aside from rare commodities, luxury goods fetch the highest prices.
Cosmetics, especially those used by women, are among these luxury items.
Wealthy celebrities spend fortunes to fend off the signs of aging.
Su Ming blinked in realization.
This was indeed a valuable find.
But it was of no use to him.
He intended to exchange the Beauty Maintaining Toner for points.
The cows had been quite productive.
He managed to fill four large buckets with milk.
He converted all the milk into points.
Yet, Young Master Su decided to keep one bottle of the Beauty Maintaining Toner.
It might come in handy someday.
At the very least, he could offer it to his parents.
“Congratulations, you've successfully earned 90 points!”
Upon hearing the prompt in his mind, Su Ming eagerly checked his phone.
He looked over the herding area.
As expected, both the fences and the pasture were eligible for upgrades.
Su Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.
With the facilities upgraded, he could raise and cultivate higher-tier animals and plants.
And certainly, upgrading different pieces of equipment would yield various benefits.
In the herding area, there were two facilities that could be upgraded: the quality of the pasture and the fence. The fence wasn't particularly useful, but the pasture was essential as it served as the cows' feed. Without hesitation, Su Ming opted to upgrade the pasture.
“Host, are you certain you want to upgrade the pasture?” came the inquiry.
“Yes!”
“You have been deducted 50 points!”
“The pasture is now upgrading, which will take 6 hours!”
Su Ming nodded contentedly. His two hours of labor had paid off.
He paused, pondering a question. “How much milk can these cows produce?”
He posed the question to Yuvyuv in his thoughts.
“Each cow can be milked at least once. The frequency of milking depends on your wishes, Master. You can also choose to recycle the cows now,” Yuvyuv explained.
With this new understanding, Su Ming realized he could milk the cows multiple times.
”Will the harvest interval decrease?” he asked.
“Indeed, Master. Currently, you can harvest every six hours,” Yuvyuv confirmed.
Su Ming nodded in agreement. The timing would coincide perfectly with the completion of the pasture upgrade. However, he didn't want to recycle the cows just yet, as the pasture was still being upgraded. Recycling them now would mean he couldn't raise anything new, wasting valuable time. Moreover, Su Ming was curious to see if the cows' next milk production would again yield Beauty Maintaining Toner.
Humming a tune, Su Ming made his way to the aquatic product area. Two large carp swam back and forth with no noticeable changes, except for the numerous round, yellow objects that now adorned the pond's bottom, slightly larger than soybeans.
Su Ming paused, realization dawning on him. Had the fish spawned?
He rushed over, quickly donning a wetsuit and grabbing a net and a bucket before entering the water, which was at a perfect temperature. As he reached the center of the pond, the two carp approached, circling him happily. With a bucket in his left hand and a bowl in his right, Su Ming scooped up all the roe. Underwater, the roe was yellow, but once removed from the water, it transformed entirely.
They transformed directly into a vibrant red, each one the size of a glass ball.
Su Ming's curiosity was piqued.
He set the bucket on the water's surface and reached out to carefully pick up a fish egg for closer inspection.
