C30 – The Cucumber Was Ripe


    President Chen once gifted Su Ming a car.


    The primary motive was Su Ming being a significant client of theirs.


    They had the leverage to utilize Su Ming’s 100 million for diverse investments, and the returns they’d reap would be much more than the car’s worth.


    However, they couldn’t offer him anything pricier.


    Yet, when President Chen learned of Su Ming’snd valued at ten billion.


    That exined his actions this afternoon.


    It’s highly probable that this is just the beginning.


    Su Ming surveyed the cleared area and softly apuded.


    All the weeds were cleared away, and his next task was to prepare the soil.


    Su Ming headed to the straw hut, bringing out a plow to till thend.


    Observing the cleared space, Su Ming pondered.


    What crop should he choose next?


    Previously, he had sowed three types of seeds, and two had yielded produce.


    He had a pumpkin and most recently, a golden melon.


    He also had a tomato nt, which ultimately gave him a golden egg filled with electronic goods and precious jade jewelry.


    The cucumber was nearing maturity.


    Truthfully, Su Ming wasn’tcking in funds anymore.


    Apart from the hundred million in his ount, the items from the damaged box alone could fetch a handsome sum.


    What intrigued Su Ming the most was uncovering further treasures thisnd might offer.


    He was true to his word.


    Eagerly, Su Ming went over and sifted through the seed packets.


    He decided on nting potatoes this round.


    Potatoes are a staple crop, in demand throughout the year.


    While at home, Su Ming frequently assisted his parents in cultivating potatoes.


    Consequently, he was well-acquainted with the nuances of potato cultivation.


    He began by adding some fertilizer, subsequentlyyering it with soil.


    He then sliced the potatoes, ensuring the sprouts remained embedded in the soil.


    Next, he nketed the potatoes with additional soil.


    The entire potato nting operation was straightforward, devoid of any intricate technique.


    Yet, the vast expanse of two acres presented a challenge.


    The quantity of potato seeds he had was insufficient.


    Pondering over the vacant space, Su Ming realized he might have to diversify his crops.


    Maybe cabbage, chili peppers, or even eggnts.


    He believed vegetable cultivation was a breeze. In a pinch, he even considered nting an apple tree.


    “The potato crop is sessfully sown! Expected harvest in 56 hours!”


    Was it possible for potatoes to mature in just over two days?


    A notification sound echoed in Su Ming’s mind, momentarily catching him off guard.


    He had always believed nts took over ten hours to flourish, but this experience suggested otherwise.


    Nheless, Su Ming remained patient.


    After all, in typical conditions, potatoes require several months to reach maturity.


    But with the System’s assistance, a mere two days and a bit was all it took for the potatoes.


    Utilizing his earlier know-how, he meticulously watered and fertilized each nt.


    As expected, a subsequent notification indicated a shorter growth period and heightened yield.


    He had ns to cultivate other crops, but dusk was setting in. His hunger pangs and fatigue were catching up.


    After a refreshing shower, Su Ming changed into fresh clothes from his rental stash and treated himself to a hearty meal.


    To his astonishment, upon his return, he found the cucumbers had already matured!


    What would he gain this time?
