FULL NOVELXO Chapter 196 - Glass Pearl Chicken
“Boss Wang, I appreciate your efforts.”
Su Ming gave Wang Guohui a friendly pat on the shoulder.
Wang Guohui was pleasantly surprised.
“Mr. Su, after all this time, there's no need for formalities. Just call me Old Wang,” Wang Guohui urged.
“Sure thing.”
Su Ming nodded in agreement. “You two head on back.”
President Chen and Wang Guohui exchanged glances, acknowledging the day was indeed drawing to a close.
Besides, Su Ming was a young man who deserved his privacy.
Perhaps for a date with a girl.
Noticing their speculative looks, Su Ming realized they were pondering over his personal life again.
But he didn't bother to clarify.
Naturally, Su Ming's primary reason for sending President Chen and Wang Guohui away was that it was time to tend to his farming.
After shutting the door behind them, Su Ming headed to the warehouse.
He eyed the seeds he had previously purchased, indecision gripping him.
What to plant was the tough choice before him.
He had already cultivated a variety of vegetables and fruits, even cacti and coconuts. contemporary romance
Despite giving it much thought, Su Ming remained torn.
Maybe he should just code a program to input all the plantable varieties?
That way, he could eliminate the crops he'd already grown and randomly select those he hadn't. It would save him from this agonizing decision-making process.
Eventually, Su Ming, at a loss, closed his eyes.
He resorted to a time-honored technique.
He would use a nursery rhyme to make his random selection.
As Su Ming uttered the final word, his finger came to a halt.
You're the one!
Opening his eyes, Su Ming peered in the direction his finger pointed.
Blueberries?
Not a bad choice at all.
The blueberry trend had been growing in recent years.
They were deliciously sweet and tart, packed with nutrients, and rumored to have anti-cancer and anti-aging benefits.
The increase in blueberry cultivation was evident; during his last visit home, Su Ming noticed that some strawberry greenhouses had been converted for blueberries.
He was somewhat familiar with the process of growing blueberries, which was intricate.
He would need to extract the tiny seeds from the berries, wash them clean, and remove any remaining pulp.
The soil for planting required just the right temperature and moisture levels, and even the water's pH balance had to be considered. Only with these conditions could the blueberries successfully germinate.
After the seedlings had matured, it was necessary for him to transplant the blueberries from their pots into the ground, ensuring regular watering and ventilation. The blueberries demanded strict control over daylight exposure, temperature, and humidity to yield the finest fruit.
Hence, the premium price of blueberries was justified.
Yet, Su Ming was well-equipped to tackle these challenges, thanks to the System.
His sole responsibility was simple: dig a hole, bury some soil, and then wait.
The tasks of fertilizing, watering, and weeding fell to President Chen and Wang Guohui.
Su Ming was free from any labor.
All he had to do was await the harvest.
Without further ado, Su Ming set to work planting the blueberries.
Tilling, digging, planting.
“Blueberries successfully planted! They will ripen in 72 hours!”
After Su Ming had watered and fertilized the blueberries himself, he heard the familiar prompt signaling a shortened ripening period and boosted yield.
The process unfolded seamlessly.
Now, Su Ming truly was a bona fide Farming Expert!
With his work done, Su Ming dusted off his hands and surveyed his two plots of land with a sense of pride.
But then, he paused to ponder.
He had recognized a pattern.
Any crop that could be cultivated in real life was fair game for the System.
Yet, each crop offered a different amount of experience.
Although the maturation times varied as if whimsically set by the System, there was a discernible rhythm to the experience gained.
Crops with lower planting densities yielded less experience but bore fruit that was more precious and valuable.
Conversely, crops with higher densities and more experience tended to produce fruit of lesser quality.
This made sense, as scarcity often dictates value.
Armed with ample funds and a trove of rare items, Su Ming's top priority was to level up quickly.
He was eager for new features.
After all, he was only at level 6—a mere novice in the gaming world.
Yet even as a beginner, he possessed an array of impressive capabilities.
The thought of the System's potential growth filled Su Ming with an irrepressible excitement.
With the System's boost, Su Ming's farmland was nothing short of extraordinary. The crops he cultivated had the potential to bear any kind of fruit imaginable. That's why Su Ming's top priority was leveling up—the higher his level, the more new features he would unlock. Su Ming was certain that the System's post-upgrade functions would astonish him beyond belief. After all, anything produced by the System was guaranteed to be top-notch!
This sense of anticipation made farming far from dull for Su Ming. Each day brought a bounty of harvests and a wealth of excitement. Then, something dawned on Su Ming, and he glanced at the clock. Two days had flown by—the Snow Chickens must be fully grown by now! He rushed to check on them.
As expected, the Snow Chickens in the coop had matured. Their feathers were sleek, and their bodies were impressively larger than typical Snow Chickens, with a dazzling array of colors shimmering across their plumage. They were clearly extraordinary. “How can they be so stunning?” Su Ming marveled, momentarily transfixed at the doorway.
He quickly entered the coop, where the Snow Chickens remained calm and didn't scatter. Su Ming gently picked one up for a closer look. “Congratulations on acquiring the Glass Pearl Chicken. Its meat is succulent, tender, and bursting with nutrition—ideal for nourishing the body and balancing Yin and Yang. Perfect for middle-aged and elderly individuals, it can invigorate the muscles and circulation, slow the aging process, and fortify one's vitality!” The System's description left Su Ming in awe.
What a treasure! The Body-stretching Pill was known for bolstering muscle strength and treating ailments, a perfect fit for the younger, more robust crowd. Its effects were immediate and potent, albeit somewhat blunt. The Glass Pearl Chicken, however, was a different breed of remedy—a powerful tonic that worked subtly and slowly to rejuvenate the body, offering a milder yet more profound impact. It was particularly beneficial for seniors and complemented the Body-stretching Pill perfectly. And the best part? The Glass Pearl Chicken was incredibly tasty!
Su Ming couldn't help but chuckle with delight. He pondered whether he should indulge in a taste. Having skipped dinner, Su Ming gazed at the chickens in the coop, his stomach growling with hunger.
