The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 426

Chapter 426 - Level Two Product

Su Ming finished packing his belongings and exchanged them for the items he needed. He stored the remaining items in an empty bedroom next door. After pouring himself a cup of hot water in the kitchen, he was about to head upstairs for a rest when he noticed the wishing lantern in the living room. His sister had previously wished to skip class, which inadvertently resulted in several teachers getting injured and hospitalized. Su Ming had intended to use the wishing lantern to wish for their speedy recovery but had accidentally forgotten to do so.

Quickly sitting down on the sofa, Su Ming grabbed a wishing lantern. He wrote on a piece of paper, “I hope the teachers injured because of my sister recover quickly.” He tossed the paper into the lantern, which transformed into twinkling starlight and vanished.

“Host, your wish has been successfully made. Probability of wish fulfillment: 100%!” A voice announced in his mind, prompting Su Ming to release a deep sigh of relief. He felt a strong sense of guilt toward the teachers; his sister had always been mischievous, and her actions had led to their injuries. He planned to have his sister bring some fruit as a gesture of goodwill during their recovery.

Miraculously, the injured teachers were all better the next day, particularly the one with the broken ankle who was now able to walk freely. The doctors were astounded by the rapid recoveries, which defied explanation even after thorough examinations. They chalked it up to a medical marvel.

After some thought, Su Ming picked up another wishing lantern. He wrote, “I hope tonight's mall has some Level Two products.” He then threw the note into the lantern.

”Host, your wish has been successfully made. Probability of wish fulfillment: 80%!” The notification caught Su Ming off guard. The likelihood of his wish coming true was impressively high. Yet, on reflection, it made sense. The plantation area and the other zones had all advanced to at least Level Two, so it was only fitting that the mall's merchandise would predominantly be Level Two. A mall still dominated by Level One goods would indeed be uninteresting.

With his spirits lifted, Su Ming went upstairs to browse through a selection of movies to pass the time. As midnight approached, he paused the film and logged into the mall.

As soon as Su Ming opened the mall, he was greeted by a dazzling green light.

It seemed his wish had been granted.

In the plantation area, three Level Two crops had appeared: crystal onions, emerald soybeans, and sweet luffas.

However, he could only purchase ten of each.

Without hesitation, Su Ming bought them all.

Why pass up such an incredible opportunity?

He quickly checked the malls in the other three areas and discovered they too offered Level Two products.

In the herding area's mall, there were Tangram Horses.

Su Ming paused, the name ringing a bell.

He recalled harvesting Tangram Ducks before.

Could the Tangram Horse also be made from seven tangram pieces?

He reminded himself to stay calm; after all, he had encountered plenty of oddities before.

He purchased all the Tangram Horses.

Next, the aquatic product area's mall was selling Eight Treasures Crabs.

Was this crab somehow related to the Eight Treasures Porridge?

Su Ming chuckled and shook his head at the thought.

Then, he opened the mall in the breeding zone, which also featured a Level Two product: the Transparent Pigeon.

Su Ming found the System's naming conventions quite peculiar.

What exactly was a Transparent Pigeon? Was it invisible because it was transparent?

How was he supposed to breed such a creature?

Deciding not to ponder further, he resolved to go with the flow.

Su Ming went ahead and bought all the Transparent Pigeons.

Next, he accessed a special area.

Before, this area was just a gray box with a question mark, blending seamlessly with the background. But now, it had a noticeable raised appearance.

The question mark on the screen shimmered, clearly indicating it was clickable. Yet, he suspected that clicking it might require using the card.

After careful consideration, Su Ming resisted the urge and withdrew his hand.

He decided to wait for the mission to trigger naturally.

Still, he found it odd.

Up to this point, he had no clue about the conditions needed to initiate a mission.

Su Ming mused, “Well, there's no rush. These things take time.”

After shopping extensively in the mall, Su Ming was too exhilarated to fall asleep.

Su Ming descended the stairs, ready to begin his work on the farm. After harvesting the Silken Cabbage, he took to the fields with his tractor, thoroughly tilling the soil. With a hoe in hand, he broke up all the larger clumps of earth.

What to plant next was the question on his mind. He had three types of Level Two seeds at his disposal. After some consideration, Su Ming decided to start anew.

He exchanged for the crystal onion, which, to his amazement, looked as transparent as actual crystal in his hand. Crystal onions didn't require dense planting; he could plant three per acre. In the past, he could plant hundreds or even thousands of crops on the same amount of land, which would take him a full day just to sow the seeds. Now, his life was remarkably relaxed.

Su Ming selected the perfect spot and planted the crystal onions.

“Ding! The crystal onion has been successfully planted! Harvest time: 56 hours!”

Next, Su Ming headed to the herding area. He retrieved two Tangram Horses from the warehouse, the maximum he could exchange. He had hoped that his increased level would allow for more, but that wasn't the case.

He pondered, “Is it because the plantation area is too small? Should I buy more buildings? No, I already own over ten acres in the city center, and it's already drawing attention. Buying more would only make me more conspicuous.”

The current high-rises surrounding his land provided some cover, but acquiring more would surely expose him to the local community. At present, Su Ming lacked even the basic means to defend himself. While life in Eastsea was comfortable, any leak of his activities could leave him vulnerable and without recourse.

For now, Su Ming preferred to grow his operations covertly, waiting until he had sufficient power before considering land expansion.

Contrary to what Su Ming had initially thought, the Tangram Horse wasn't composed of tangrams. It boasted a coat of seven different colors, making it quite the sight to behold.

”Ding! The Tangram Horse has been successfully herded by you! Harvest time: 56 hours!”

Su Ming then made his way to the aquatic product area, where he exchanged for Eight Treasures Crabs. This time, he could raise eight of them.

The Eight Treasures Crab wasn't the porridge-based dish Su Ming had in mind.

It was the same size as a regular crab, but its makeup was quite unique.

The crab legs were crafted from green beans, the top shell from peanuts, and the bottom shell from sticky rice.

Su Ming was certain that cracking open the shell would reveal even more ingredients.

He was aware that Eight Treasures Porridge was merely a collective name, not limited to just eight ingredients.

Green beans, azuki beans, lentils, jujubes, peach kernels, peanuts—any favored ingredient could be included.

“[Ding! The Eight Treasures Crab has been successfully cultivated! Harvest time: 56 hours!]”

After completing his task, Su Ming dusted off his hands, pleased with his work.

All in all, it had taken him less than an hour.

Had he not spent over 40 minutes tending to the fields, he might already be asleep.

Post-labor, Su Ming stretched languidly and returned upstairs. This was the good life.

He made himself a bowl of noodles.

With his belly full and the movie over, Su Ming retired to his bedroom to rest.

Now, he would wait patiently for the harvest.
