C543 – Watersshing 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 exin this to me?


    Something about this whole affair seemed off.


    Puttingxatives in the water is something anyone could do.


    But what’s with this weakness in my limbs?


    That could be exined, 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 Zhiyuany 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 youngdies straight back to the school.


    Su Ming headed home as well.


    The temperature was still warm on thiste 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-sshing Lotus Root has ripened!”


    Su Ming nced over.


    Sure enough.


    The Water-sshing 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 therge 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 nt, 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,e 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 sshes 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 theyers 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! Congrattions, 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 idents ur unexpectedly, the Host canmand 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 ident wille first.


    Just consider the bustling traffic on the roads.


    Despite stringent trafficws 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 cmity 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 everyst one.


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


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


    Time to harvest!


    Su Ming got to work without a second thought.


    He carried a stic bag with him, took out all the curtains, and ced 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 andrge!


    Su Ming couldn’t help but marvel.


    He had seen lotus roots harvested before.


    But he had nevere across one this size.


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


    “Ding! Congrattions, Host, you’ve obtained the Water-sshing Lotus Root. Do you want to turn your life around? Do you aspire to reach the pinnacle of sess? Just one bite of the Water-sshing 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 sess, 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 thisnd 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-sshing 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! Congrattions, Host, you have sessfully exchanged items for points. You have earned 10,000 points!”


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


    “Ding! Item recycled. Congrattions, 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 nting points have soared to 30,000 points?
