C535 – The Sweet Luffa Is Ripe
The gang leader’s eyes bulged in shock.
Puff!
He vomited blood and dropped dead on the spot!
Ning Zhiyuan was fuming inside the car.
He was so infuriated he nearly lost his mind.
“Useless trash!”
“Drive us home!”
Ning Zhiyuan clenched his jaw so tightly he nearly cracked his teeth, yet he was helpless.
He knew full well Su Ming was a formidable fighter. Why go down and invite a thrashing?
With rage simmering in his gut, Ning Zhiyuan drove home.
Meanwhile, Su Ming and his company continued their meal, utterly unfazed.
“Brother, do you think he’ll come after us again?” Su Qiu inquired.
“Don’t worry, he won’t,” Su Ming reassured her with a smile. “He’s focused on me right now. If he seeks revenge later, it’ll be my problem.”
“Ah? But Brother Ming, doesn’t that mean you’ll be in danger?” Zhang Qianqian interjected with concern.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be okay,” Su Ming replied, his lips curling into a serene smile.
Ning Zhiyuan, I was willing to overlook our dispute today because of the gift you brought. But you just can’t let it go. Well, don’t blame me for not holding back.
The trio dined late into the evening.
Afterward, Su Ming drove the two young ladies back to their school before heading home himself.
?He parked his car in the garage, opened the gate, and then secured it behind him.
“Master, the sweet luffa is ripe!” Yuvyuv chimed in his mind.
“Oh?” Su Ming paused, a surge of happiness filling him.
?The timing was perfect.
He made his way quickly to the field.
Su Ming had planted ten sweet luffas across his two-acre plot.
?Initially, they looked just like any other luffa.
The System had automatically built a trellis for the vines to climb, similar to cucumbers.
?Just yesterday, they were still small, vibrant green luffas.
But today, upon inspection, they had grown to the size of cucumbers, lush and green.
Excellent! They were indeed ready for harvest!
Su Ming eagerly approached, stepping onto the fertile soil.
?The sweet luffa had vanished.
In its place was…
Huh?
What on earth is this?
Su Ming paused, taken aback.
He leaned in for a closer inspection.
Just a typical sweet luffa.
One that could yield an abundance of fruit.
Its vines were usually laden with luffas.
But now…
There was just one luffa.
And the shape of this luffa was…
Well, it was indescribable.
Saying it out loud would likely get censored.
It was of the 404 variety.
Because it resembled something all too familiar.
Imagine this.
Two eggs on a table.
With a cucumber in the middle.
I’ll let you fill in the blanks.
Upon seeing it, Su Ming felt somewhat hesitant.
If he didn’t pick it, it was still a product of the earth.
But to pick it…
He just couldn’t get past that mental hurdle.
Enough!
He decided to just take it first.
Without another word, Su Ming reached out.
And grabbed it.
Holy shit!
The moment it was in his hand.
Su Ming nearly leaped out of his skin.
It was soft!
And damn it, it was warm!
Su Ming nearly spat blood.
Was this intentional?
System, you’ve gone too far this time.
While Su Ming was in the midst of his rant,
The luffa began to transform.
It twitched ever so slightly.
Quickly,
It morphed into a slender box.
Hmm?
What’s this?
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on acquiring the invincible fattening pill that makes slimming down impossible in this lifetime. It’s exclusively for animals. Once consumed by an animal, it will significantly increase their appetite, cause rapid weight gain, and the meat will become exceptionally tasty. This is an indispensable medicine for any farm!!”
Note: Humans may experience side effects, but rest assured, Host, these will not harm your health, though they may cause discomfort. They are ineffective on you!
Note: Side effects include limb weakness, hair loss, diarrhea, mild hallucinations, acne, tinnitus, temporary blindness, and temporary loss of pain sensation…
Note: Human use may trigger one or more of these side effects! Please use with caution!
???
After hearing the introduction in his mind, Su Ming was momentarily dumbfounded.
System, you owe me an explanation.
You just made it abundantly clear that it’s not for human use.
But what’s the deal with the last three?
They even come with a note about side effects, but they’re not harmful to the body.
Especially the last one—it comes with a caution to use it wisely.
?It’s as if they’re telling me this thing was made just to mess with people.
It’d be a waste to use it on animals.
Absolutely!
Su Ming burst into laughter.
This item might not look all that magical,
but it’s definitely a perfect tool for pranks.
Hehe!
Suddenly, a face popped into Su Ming’s mind.
Ning Zhiyuan!
Young Master Su has always lived by the rule: if no one bothers me, I won’t bother them.
But if someone does…
Well, they can’t blame me for not holding back.
You were the one who struck first.
If you don’t play fair, you can’t fault me for what comes next.
Su Ming opened the box and examined its contents.
?It looked pretty much like any ordinary medicine box,
packed with about a hundred tiny pills, each the size of a sesame seed.
Just one was enough.
The rest could be exchanged for points!
Without hesitation, Su Ming started gathering the rest.
There were ten sweet luffas in total,
yielding ten boxes of medicine.
Su Ming kept one box and exchanged the rest for points.
?”Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve successfully exchanged points and have earned 18,000 points!”
“Ding! Successful crop harvest. You’ve gained 200,000 experience points! Bonus reward: 40,000 points!”
“Ding! Item recycled. Congratulations, you’ve earned 50,000 experience points! Bonus reward: 10,000 experience points!”
A flurry of notifications sounded in his mind.
Su Ming reviewed his data panel.
His planting points had soared to over 30,000.
Upgrading one acre of Level Two land to Level Three required 5,000 points.
With 30,000 experience points, he could upgrade six acres!
First things first, he’d level up the sweet luffa plot.
“Ding! Land upgrade in progress. Time remaining: 24 hours!”
The other five acres were planted with Water-splashing Lotus Root.
If all went well, they should be ready by tomorrow.
He could then exchange them for more points and upgrade all five acres to Level Three!
It was an instant lift-off!
But Su Ming’s excitement dimmed when he considered the experience points.
The higher the level, the tougher it was to level up.
Reaching the next Level One required a whopping five million points, yet I had only managed to accumulate around 2.67 million so far.
?Ah, the journey to level up is indeed a lengthy one.
Nevertheless, I was confident that once the land reached Level Three, the experience points earned would significantly increase.
The pace of leveling up was bound to pick up.
After tidying up the land, I played some games for a bit, checked the marketplace for any enticing items—finding none, I decided to call it a night.
The following morning, just as I opened my eyes, my phone rang.
?It was Su Qiu.
“What’s the matter, kiddo?” I asked while brushing my teeth.
?”Brother, Principal Ye just called me. He wants to take me to a conference,” Su Qiu informed me over the phone.
“That’s great news,” I responded cheerfully, understanding Principal Ye’s intentions. He aimed to expose Su Qiu to influential figures, helping her make a lasting impression.
This experience would be advantageous for Su Qiu, whether she chose a career in academia or entered the workforce later on.
