C4 – Farming in the Centre of the City
It’s no wonder the driver was envious. Those fortunate enough to be employed at the Guoxing Building were all high-caliber professionals, so Su Ming must be receiving excellent treatment.
He could sit in the office, basking in the air conditioning. Such comfort.
Surely, this was much preferable to driving a taxi.
“No.”
Su Ming shook his head. “I’m going to do some farming.”
“What?”
The driver burst into laughter. “Young man, don’t tease. How could you possibly be farming there?”
The driver chuckled and shook his head, assuming Su Ming was jesting.
However, upon arriving, he was taken aback to discover an actual farm here!
It spanned around two acres and was overgrown with weeds.
It was astonishing that what this guy had said turned out to be true!
The driver suddenly recalled that there was indeed an abandoned land resembling a farm next to the Guoxing Building. Initially curious about why it hadn’t been developed, he had grown accustomed to its presence over the past decade.
Just now, he had unconsciously overlooked it.
So this piece of land belonged to this young man?
If this was accurate, then his feat was truly remarkable!
Should he sell this parcel of land, he’d acquire a fortune far beyond what he could spend in several lifetimes!
However, the driver remained skeptical. Could this young man be joking?
Su Ming paid the driver and disembarked from the car, striding toward the farm.
The driver stood bewildered.
What he had claimed was the unvarnished truth!
Su Ming surveyed his surroundings. This place appeared somewhat rundown, with grass and dust scattered about.
Marvelous! He had genuinely risen to the status of a top billionaire.
His parents had toiled in the countryside throughout their lives. Now, it was their turn to embrace city life and enjoy its comforts.
Adjacent to the city center stood the Guoxing Building. Beside it stretched the twelve-lane dual carriageway, and in its rear were a cluster of banks and the headquarters of major corporations!
The value of this plot of land was considerable.
Su Ming sensed that this location wasn’t too shabby.
He envisioned planting flowers and greenery here, constructing a modest abode to inhabit.
From this point forward, he could observe the hustle and bustle of office-goers passing daily, all while he lounged contentedly on a rocking chair, soaking up the sunlight.
What a wonderful prospect!
Su Ming commenced his initial inspection of the farm.
The area covered approximately 1,300 square meters.
The place was overgrown with wild vegetation, indicating that it had remained untended for numerous years. Adjacent to it stood a thatched hut, containing merely a bed and a table. Despite its simplicity, the room was impeccably clean.
It appeared as if the System had thoughtfully arranged this space for Su Ming’s rest.
An outdoor water tap was also available beside the thatched hut. When Su Ming turned the faucet, water flowed out.
The presence of water and electricity here made things extremely convenient.
Hailing from the countryside, Su Ming possessed substantial experience in farm work.
Farming came naturally to him!
Yet, although he could manually clear away the grass, it was an incredibly slow process. Furthermore, he lacked any seeds.
The absence of seeds would hinder his farming efforts.
He unlocked his phone and scrutinized the map.
Gazing at the map for an extended period, Su Ming felt disheartened.
This location sat right at the heart of the city.
Nonetheless, acquiring farming tools and seeds here would prove to be quite a challenge.
Indeed, cultivating crops amidst the city’s bustle seemed implausible.
Boarding a taxi and enduring nearly ninety minutes of travel, he eventually stumbled upon a store that dealt in farming equipment.
“Young man, what can I assist you with?”
Taking in the sun’s rays, the shop owner lounged near the entrance. Given the time of year, there weren’t many customers, so things were fairly quiet.
“I’m looking to purchase farming tools, seeds, and fertilizers.”
“Of course!”
Springing to his feet, the shopkeeper motioned for Su Ming to follow him inside.
