Chapter 123
This scene was actually live-streamed.
Gu Qingyan's father, mother, brother, and sister were all loyal fans of the live stream room.
They quickly sent him a message: "You silly boy."
The outdoor camera didn't capture their conversation, only Gu Qingyan's reaction.
It looked as if Shen Wei said something to him, making him this happy.
Gu Qingyan didn't expect it to be live-streamed, almost forgetting there were cameras here.
He slunk away, his face flushed red.
The internet was full of teasing remarks about him.
"So when will Gu Qingyan finally be able to win over the goddess?"
"At this rate, it'll take 100 years."
In the live stream room, Gu Qingyan's family members all agreed with that comment.
This guy who has never dated before is just hopeless, with no experience in handling things, not even a bit composed.
Only his face is somewhat outstanding.
But at Starry Sky Kindergarten, Gu Qingyan is absolutely the most handsome.
Yet if compared to the rugged handsome type, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
Gu Qingyan's relatives were worrying about him, but he was completely oblivious.
His heart was fully focused on Shen Wei.
Shen Wei's vegetable garden was almost finished.
Shen Wei went over to take a look. There were two greenhouses, while the remaining areas were all exposed, with workers laying down a few truckloads of soil from the mountain.
Liu Chef pinched the soil on the ground. This soil layer wasn't very thick after being compacted.
Although the land had been tilled before, this was still a construction site area.
The soil quality was somewhat too hard. It might not be good for growing crops.
Liu Chef couldn't help but say, "I shouldn't have done such a good job."
He loved to show off, eager to tell everyone about any good deed.
Now that everyone knew he had done a great job with the vegetable garden.
It made him puff up with pride.
He was even more invested in the vegetable garden than Shen Wei.
The vegetable garden had now taken its basic shape.
But he was hesitating. With the soil lacking fertility, could it yield good produce?
It wasn't him worrying over nothing.
There were quite a few people with gardens on the first floor in the city too.
These people originally just wanted to experience the joy of country life.
But what they grew were all deformed melons and cracked persimmons.
They had never seen such ugly cucumbers. The persimmons looked malnourished.
Just looking at them was an eyesore.
Not to mention putting them in your mouth to eat.
They had no appeal whatsoever.
He used to mock those people.
Now, looking at this land, he was suddenly worried too.
After all, Shen Wei had invested 2 million in this.
If the vegetable garden wasn't done well, he would feel guilty towards Shen Wei.
"It's no problem!" Shen Wei said.
This former construction land might have some heavy metal contamination that damaged the soil. Let me check the system's merit mall to see if there's a solution.
Shen Wei's calmness made Liu Chef feel ashamed.
He, an adult, couldn't keep his composure as well as this young person.
"After some time, we can plant the seeds in the ground. The kids can come and observe."
This was a common scene in the village but rarely seen in the city. It would be a special outdoor class.
Shen Wei immediately agreed.
Since this was the case, the timing for planting became crucial, and they needed to improve the soil.
Shen Wei immediately went into the system space to check the system's merit mall.
Apart from the discounted and high-tech sections, everything else was sold at exorbitant prices.
Shen Wei's 200,000 or so merits weren't enough for anything.
She found some fertilizers for improving the soil and increasing yields, but they cost a whopping 780,000 merits each.
And now the system had become smarter, giving out cash rewards but being stingy with merits.
Agricultural products in the merit mall had become ridiculously expensive.
Shen Wei was at a loss.
The system prompted: "Why don't you try the merit roulette?"
This time, for saving the third villain Song Ping An, the system had added a new feature: the merit roulette. Shen Wei took a look - there were 20 slots in total, with 10 slots containing fertilizers and the other 10 saying "Thank you for participating."
Shen Wei still had two free spins remaining.
If she could just draw a fertilizer, that would be great.
The odds were about 50/50. Shen Wei's confidence surged, and she immediately spun. The first spin landed on 50 pounds of fertilizer!
When the golden light flashed, Shen Wei was overjoyed.
She was ecstatic. But then she realized that 50 pounds of fertilizer could only cover 1/10 of the land area after mixing it into the soil.
The 2 million she had invested wasn't a small plot of land.
That meant she still needed 450 more pounds of fertilizer.
Moreover, this was the first time nourishing the land, so it had to be thoroughly nourished.
Shen Wei felt that the system had dug a trap for her.
She still had one more chance.
She then asked the system, "How many merits is one spin?"
The system replied, "5,000 merits per spin!"
"As expected."
But there was no other way. The land had already been bought, and she would have to buy the fertilizer eventually. This fertilizer not only nourished the soil but also removed heavy metals and other impurities, making it an essential need.
