The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 409



Chapter 409 - All of Them Upgraded to Level Two Land!

“You've successfully harvested the crops and received 120,000 experience points! Plus, an additional reward of 24,000!”

“Item recycled. Congratulations, you've earned 6,000 experience points! Additional reward: 1,200!”

Su Ming was holding several bags in his hands.

Though these items seemed unremarkable, he couldn't deny their practicality.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ming made a decision.

He intended to keep half of the pearls for his family and friends and exchange the remainder for points.

“Yuvyuv, how many points do I get for each pearl?”

“Master, each pearl is worth 10 points,” Yuvyuv replied.

Pleased with the exchange rate, Su Ming calculated that with the 300 pearls he had left, he could get 3,000 points.

Adding that to the 3,201 points already in the plantation area, he had a total of 6,000 points.

That meant he could upgrade the remaining six acres to Level Two.

Su Ming walked into the living room with the pearls.

He kept half and converted the rest into points.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he inquired mentally, “Yuvyuv, can these pearls be drilled?”

“Absolutely, drilling the pearls won't affect their use,” Yuvyuv assured him.

Reassured by Yuvyuv's response, Su Ming nodded contentedly.

He planned to craft a bracelet from these pearls for his sister tomorrow. He wouldn't give them to anyone but her.

It wasn't that Su Ming was miserly; it was just that the pearls' effects were extraordinarily potent.

Old Master Tang and his peers were worldly and wise, and they might deduce something about the pearls.

Should they question him later, it could lead to complications.

His sister, however, was in a different situation. As a student with few friends, she spent most of her time at school, where she was unlikely to face danger.

Even if she did encounter peril and discovered the bracelet's miraculous properties, her nature was such that she wouldn't broadcast it.

Su Ming was aware that the existence of his farm would eventually become public knowledge, as he couldn't keep it hidden indefinitely.

Yet, the time to disclose the secrets of his farm had not come; he was not yet powerful enough.

Su Ming paused for a moment before gathering the remaining pearls. He left a few on the table and then headed upstairs. Upon booting up his computer, he instinctively checked the online shop. It offered nothing out of the ordinary, yet Su Ming made a few purchases nonetheless. Among the items were familiar ones he had cultivated before, like chilies and cucumbers.

There was something Su Ming had been curious about: if he were to replant the crops he had previously grown, would the yield be identical to the original? He navigated to a mysterious item in the shop, its description still a mere question mark. He recalled obtaining a mission scroll while harvesting bananas. The System would trigger a specific mission at a certain time, which would then unlock this enigmatic item. Su Ming was convinced it was something valuable.

After perusing the shop, Su Ming opened the upgrade page. He had amassed over 6,000 planting points. Faced with a choice, he could either upgrade all six acres of his land to Level Two, which cost just 1,000 points per acre, or he could invest 5,000 points to elevate a single acre from Level Two to Level Three. After some contemplation, Su Ming opted to upgrade all six acres to Level Two. The plantation area was extensive, and it was the sole source of his experience points. By upgrading, the quality of his crops would improve, leading to a higher yield and more points. His decision was final.

With resolve, Su Ming wasted no time and upgraded all six acres to Level Two. “Land is upgrading. Upgrade time: 24 hours!” announced the System as soon as he clicked the mouse. The process would take a full day, but Su Ming was patient.

Descending the stairs to grab a bite, Su Ming suddenly wondered, “Where did Yuvyuv go?” Earlier that day, he had visited Old Master Tang, and upon leaving, he had seen Su Qiu enjoying a hotpot. In his rush to harvest his crops, he had completely forgotten about her. It was only the lingering scent of hotpot that jogged his memory.

Quick to act, Su Ming headed to the adjacent room. Gently pushing the ajar door open, he peered inside and found Su Qiu, wrapped cozily in a blanket, fast asleep.

Su Ming chuckled and shook his head, thinking to himself, “She's truly without a care in the world.”

He softly closed the door behind him and glanced at the kitchen.

It was spotless; any leftover food had been neatly stored in the refrigerator.

Stretching with a smile, Su Ming reflected on his day. He had been up all night and his day was packed with activities. He had celebrated his grandfather's birthday and harvested crops in the plantation area.

Despite possessing the Stamina Talent, which kept his body from feeling fatigued, he was mentally exhausted.

After a refreshing shower, Su Ming retreated to his bedroom and turned in early.

The next day, he awoke as the sun was well up in the sky. Following his morning routine of washing up and brushing his teeth, he headed downstairs to make breakfast.

Su Qiu was still deep in slumber.

It wasn't until breakfast was ready that she stumbled out of her bedroom, bleary-eyed.

“Bro, you're back,” Su Qiu mumbled upon seeing Su Ming.

She then made her way to the bathroom to freshen up.

Soon, they were sitting in the living room, enjoying their meal, when Su Qiu's phone rang.

Checking her phone, her expression turned sour.

“What's the matter?” Su Ming inquired.

“I have a class this morning,” she replied.

Su Ming was taken aback. Wasn't Su Qiu on break? She had been off for several days already. Why did she have a class?

Su Qiu's frustration grew as she noticed Su Ming's bewildered look.

“Brother, Principal Ye secured a research project. Seniors can base their thesis on it,” she explained.

“It's a prestigious project. I've heard only a select few across the nation are chosen to work on it. If I join the research team, make significant findings, and publish some papers, I could virtually guarantee my spot in a graduate program, maybe even a doctoral one.”

“But I'm just a freshman! Principal Ye invited me to the project team. I just wanted to enjoy my holiday,” Su Qiu lamented.

Su Ming just smiled and shook his head again. Principal Ye might show him deference, but as the head of Eastsea University, he was a titan of economic research.

His research in economics was outstanding.

The students he has taught have all become significant figures within the field of economics.

Should Principal Ye's students join a company, their starting annual salary would be in the tens of millions.

Truthfully, it would take a great deal of effort for others to secure a spot in Principal Ye's research group.

Yet, Principal Ye personally invited Su Qiu to join his team. Undoubtedly, many must be envious of her.
