The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 543

C543 – Watersplashing Lotus Root Is Ripe

“What the hell!”

Ning Zhiyuan was on the verge of exploding with rage.

But he couldn’t help but ponder the situation.

What in the world was happening?

Could anyone explain this to me?

Something about this whole affair seemed off.

Putting laxatives in the water is something anyone could do.

But what’s with this weakness in my limbs?

That could be explained, too.

But why has my hair turned green?

Today, Ning Zhiyuan was seriously questioning his life choices.

He was certain that Su Ming was behind this.

But how did he pull it off?

He hadn’t quite figured that out yet.

However, he suspected that he wouldn’t dare cross Su Ming again in the future.

If he considered doing anything else, he’d have to weigh the consequences carefully.

Ning Zhiyuan lay on the ground for quite some time before he gradually came to.

With his hair a vibrant green.

He made his way home, looking utterly disheveled.

Su Ming had merely given him a mild warning.

If Ning Zhiyuan chose to stop here, then that would be the end of it. Su Ming wasn’t interested in causing further trouble.

But if Ning Zhiyuan continued to be dishonest and overly lively…

Well, he’d regret it.

Principal Ye took the two young ladies straight back to the school.

Su Ming headed home as well.

The temperature was still warm on this late autumn day.

The gentle sunlight bathed Su Ming’s yard.

?He changed into a set of work clothes and started tidying up the courtyard.

Before he knew it, noon had arrived.

Su Ming felt his stomach rumble with hunger.

He casually ordered some takeout and ate heartily.

?Just then…

Yuvyuv chimed in his mind.

“Master, the Water-splashing Lotus Root has ripened!”

Su Ming glanced over.

Sure enough.

The Water-splashing Lotus Root was ready to harvest.

He set down his utensils and rushed over to the patch, squatting down to take a closer look.

The lotus root had sprouted from the center of the large leaves, and there was a beautiful pink lotus flower blooming.

Approaching it, he caught a whiff of a delicate scent.

Huh?

What’s this?

As Su Ming inspected the plant, he suddenly noticed something. He cocked his head to get a better look. Wasn’t that a lotus seed head?

Next to Su Ming’s childhood home was a vast pond that, come summer, would be adorned with many blossoming lotus flowers.

In the center were lotus seeds, which, once their bitter centers were removed, became crunchy and delectably tasty.

Growing up, Su Ming’s family didn’t have much, so snacks were a rarity. However, the wild fruits found in the mountains and by the ponds brought vibrant splashes of joy to his childhood.

“Did lotus seeds actually sprout?”

Su Ming blinked, finding it hard to believe.

“So what am I supposed to harvest here? The lotus seeds or the roots?”

He was genuinely puzzled.

Well, no point in fretting over it now. I’ll figure it out soon enough.

Without further ado, Su Ming plucked one of the lotus pods.

Holding it in his hand, he could detect the subtle scent of the lotus seeds.

Su Ming peeled back the layers of the pod, revealing the neatly arranged seeds.

He picked one up, took a whiff, and was greeted by a light, refreshing aroma. Could it be that these newly grown seeds were actually edible?

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on acquiring the Invincible Vajra Barrier Protection Lotus Seed! Once used, it will swiftly create a thin protective air film around your body, shielding you from a single injury. This consumable item is one-time use and may be given to others.”

“Note: For usage, since many accidents occur unexpectedly, the Host can command its activation with a mere thought.”

“Oh?”

The prompt in his mind made Su Ming’s eyes sparkle with excitement. What a fantastic find!

As the saying goes, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

Just consider the bustling traffic on the roads.

Despite stringent traffic laws and rigorous enforcement against drunk driving,

there’s no guarantee against those who gamble with luck or drive in a drunken haze, causing chaos and calamity on the streets.

With this item, it’s like having a talisman for protection!

Impressive, indeed!

I won’t be trading this for points. I’ll keep every last one.

Upon closer inspection, Su Ming noted that each Water-splashing Lotus Root could produce a pod with twenty lotus seeds.

There was a total of five acres of land, which was quite substantial.

Time to harvest!

Su Ming got to work without a second thought.

He carried a plastic bag with him, took out all the curtains, and placed them in the bag.

Then, he positioned it in front of a mini portal inside the house.

It was ready to use at any moment.

After all, carrying it around was not exactly convenient.

Having collected everything, Su Ming felt a sense of contentment. But then, a thought struck him. The lotus seeds could be harvested, but what about the lotus roots?

His eyes sparkling with excitement, Su Ming hurried over to the nearest lotus root. He tossed the lotus seeds aside and started to dig eagerly.

The area around the lotus root was very moist, and the earth was soft, almost marsh-like.

With little effort, Su Ming unearthed the lotus root.

Wow!

It was so long and large!

Su Ming couldn’t help but marvel.

He had seen lotus roots harvested before.

But he had never come across one this size.

Imagine stir-frying it or making a cold salad; it would surely offer a refreshingly crisp texture.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve obtained the Water-splashing Lotus Root. Do you want to turn your life around? Do you aspire to reach the pinnacle of success? Just one bite of the Water-splashing Lotus Root will send you into a deep sleep, where you’ll climb to the peak of your life in your dreams!”

“Note: One bite allows for a 12-hour dream. After consumption, you will fall into a deep sleep, and no external force can awaken you until the time is up!”

Uh…

Su Ming held the lotus root and blinked in disbelief.

Why was this feature so frustrating?

He had hoped that after eating it, he would actually be able to turn his life around, hit a streak of incredible luck, and ascend to the pinnacle of success, perhaps even marrying a wealthy and beautiful woman.

Was it all just a pipe dream?

But then again, it made sense.

After all, he had been tending to this land for so long and could only harvest it twice, which was quite rare.

The most important thing was…

The lotus seed’s function was already miraculous, so it was only natural for the lotus root’s function to be somewhat vexing.

Su Ming pondered for a moment and decided to keep one Water-splashing Lotus Root, exchanging the rest for points.

Let’s do this!

Determined, Su Ming was bustling with activity, digging out all the lotus roots from the earth.

?”Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully exchanged items for points. You have earned 10,000 points!”

“Ding! Successful crop harvest. You have earned 200,000 experience points! Bonus reward: 40,000 points!”

“Ding! Item recycled. Congratulations, Host, you have earned 50,000 experience points! Bonus reward: 10,000 experience points!”

He tidied up the field, the tractor rumbling as it made its rounds.

Before he knew it, evening had fallen.

?Content with his day’s work, Su Ming eagerly opened the data panel to review his progress.

Wow!

My planting points have soared to 30,000 points?
