    ¡°Beep! Detected that the host is a normal person. Activating the system¡¯s automatic binding.¡±


    ¡°5% ¡­ 15% ¡­ 99%, successfully binding the host.¡±


    ¡°Restoring the host¡¯s spiritual power. The seed cultivation system has been installed!¡±


    Ye Heng woke up when he heard a mechanical electronic sound. He had already regained consciousness.


    ¡°Where am I now?¡± Ye Heng asked in a daze. He was experiencing a headache due to the hangover.


    ¡°Boss, you¡¯re awake? You drank so much last night, you must be feeling dizzy now, right? Hurry up and drink some hangover soup.¡± A gentle-looking woman who was beside him replied to Ye Heng with a tender expression. She had been looking after Ye Heng when he was unconscious.


    ¡°It¡¯s you, Zhao Yao. Sorry to have troubled you. You can just call me Ye Heng from now on, no need to call me ¡®boss¡¯.¡± This beautiful woman by the name of Zhao Yao was his former assistant, or it should be ¡°former assistant¡±.


    After Ye Heng unintentionally inherited the company left behind by his deceased parents, he had been working very hard to manage the company.


    At first, things went rather smoothly. However, after he accepted the green project from the Qianda Group, a large portion of the community green plants managed by his company withered and died.


    Moreover, an important point was that his Yip¡¯s Environmental Protection Enterprise had injected a lot of capital into this bidding project. They had even obtained a bank loan for it. Now that the green plants had died, the loss incurred was enough to ruin his company completely!


    When the employees in the company were informed about this, one-fifth of them eventually left and only about thirty people remained in the company.


    When he saw the legal contract before him, Ye Heng was speechless. He was forced to abandon his company and declare bankruptcy because he could not handle the current financial difficulties. However, it turned out that his company was acquired by his nemesis, Gao Corporation!


    Ye Heng¡¯s Fang Corporation only cost them nine million yuan. They did not have to pay for the construction projects and debts. Therefore, the terms of the acquisition were ridiculous!


    Ye Heng was willing to sell his company to Gao Corporation because they had promised to keep all his employees. After all, he did not want his employees in the company to lose their jobs because of him!


    However, the nine million yuan did not go into Ye Heng¡¯s pockets at all. It was directly returned to the bank. He also ended up selling his recreational vehicle to get the remaining one million yuan to make for the difference.


    Ye Heng, who had lost everything, also realised how cold-hearted people can be. When he left, none of the employees in the company was willing to send him off.


    As for this assistant Zhao Yao, he didn¡¯t treat her exceptionally well in the company but she chose to carry her bag and walked out of the company with him.


    ¡°Boss, I know very well that the reason for being strict with me back then was for my personal development and growth. Therefore, in my heart, you will always be my boss,¡± Zhao Yao said softly.


    Ye Heng said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t say anymore. Now that you have left the company, just call me by my name.¡±


    ¡°Hmm ¡­ okay¡­ then, Ye¡­ Ye Heng, please drink the hangover soup first. The meat porridge is still cooking in the pot, it should be ready soon,¡± Zhao Yao said with some hesitation.


    ¡°Okay, thank you, Zhao Yao.¡± Ye Heng took the hangover soup and drank it bit by bit. He was becoming more clear-headed now.


    He closed his eyes and images of a desolate planet, as well as a seemingly ordinary seed, suddenly appeared in his mind.


    In the next moment, in the absence of nutrients and a water source, and under the irradiation of ultra-high intensity radiation, the seed took root and sprouted on the planet!


    Then, the endless roots of the plant penetrated the planet¡¯s surface and transformed into a majestic tree, one that towered over countless square kilometres!


    It was a terrifying and alarming scene to Ye Heng and he was stunned by it momentarily. What seemed like an ordinary seed could take root and sprout in a desolate planet!


    Furthermore, this primitively desolate planet became a planet suitable for humans to live on!


    ¡°Could it be¡­ that this is the ability of the seed modification system?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Host, the system now provides refining clauses for the four furnaces!¡±


    Then, six rays of light appeared in his head. Each of them contained a furnace.


    From top to bottom, the names were ¡°fusion furnace¡±, ¡°transformation furnace¡±, ¡°strengthening furnace¡±, ¡°replication furnace¡±, ¡°extraction furnace¡± and ¡°planting furnace¡± respectively!


    However, two rays of light were grey and obviously could not be used.


    The system¡¯s justification was that the host¡¯s mind power was not strong enough, so they could not be activated.


    ¡°How do I use the four furnaces that are not sealed off?¡± Ye Heng looked at the system page that suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with curiosity.


    From the looks of it, these must be related to seeds and greening!


    ¡°The host needs to figure it out by himself. ¡± Other than these words, the system did not say anything else. Ye Heng was shocked when he heard this.


    ¡°Alright, this system is called the seed system, so it must have something to do with seeds.¡± Ye Heng was the boss of a greening company, so he was very familiar with seeds.


    After all, from now on, he would not be so busy anymore. He would also have time to buy some seeds to experiment with.


    When the company was acquired, Ye Heng had decided to take a break and think about his future path.


    After he sold his recreational vehicle to fill up the remaining financial gaps, he still had around four hundred and fifty thousand yuan left. He was not completely poor.


    Moreover, he used to be a boss and had his resources and connections. He would not let himself starve.


    ¡°Ye Heng, have breakfast.¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yao¡¯s voice came from the living room, interrupting Ye Heng¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Ye Heng stood up, went to wash up and after that, he headed to the living room.


    On the table, a steaming bowl of meat porridge was already prepared for him. Ye Heng smelled the fragrance coming from the porridge and his stomach suddenly began to growl.


    ¡°Pfft! Ye Heng, you drank too much wine yesterday. You must be hungry now, right? Hurry up and eat!¡± Zhao Yao covered her mouth and laughed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you guessed it right. I¡¯m really hungry.¡± Ye Heng held up the bowl of porridge, blew on it and hurriedly ate. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s a little hot.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t rush. There¡¯s still some in the pot.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were full of smiles.


    However, Ye Heng ate so quickly not because he was hungry.


    It was because the system had consumed a lot of Ye Heng¡¯s energy during the binding process, so he needed to replenish it as soon as possible.


    ¡°Ye Heng, in the future¡­ What do you plan to do? If¡­ you still want to start a business again, if you need money, I can¡­ support you,¡± Zhao Yao asked curiously as she ate her porridge..

 Chapter 2

    Seeing this, Ye Heng said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any plans for the time being. I just want to go back to my hometown and rest for a while.¡±


    ¡°Right. After all, you haven¡¯t had a good rest in the past few years. It¡¯s time for you to go back,¡± Zhao Yao said slightly.


    ¡°Zhao Yao, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t fall so easily. I can still fight for the things that were taken away, but I have to rest for a few days this time. Maybe I¡¯ll take a look at the research on plants later.¡±


    Ye Heng replied, his eyes full of smiles.


    ¡°Okay, if you need me, you can call me anytime.¡± Zhao Yao was still worried.


    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Ye Heng replied with a smile and gestured to her not to worry.


    After the meal, he left Zhao Yao¡¯s house.


    Before returning to his hometown, Ye Heng wanted to go to the flower and bird market.


    Of course, he also needed to visit the places that sold seeds.


    Facing the sudden appearance of the system, he needed to buy some flowers, plants and seeds of fruits and vegetables to carry out the experiments.


    Fortunately, Ye Heng¡¯s previous job was related to plants, so he was very familiar with the places that sold seeds.


    Not long after, Ye Heng used fifty thousand yuan to buy all kinds of seeds, soil and potted plants back.


    It was almost as if he had bought the entire market.


    In the end, Ye Heng had to call the transportation company to send a truck over to bring the things back.


    His hometown was in the suburbs of this city, and his place of residence was a very shabby house with a small courtyard.


    Moreover, this city was upgraded from a county town to a city.


    Therefore, it was not as developed as the surrounding first-tier and second-tier cities.


    At least from the outside, it was still an ordinary small county town.


    These things used for planting were placed in the courtyard and piled up fully.


    ¡°System, turn on the extraction furnace.¡±


    Upon Ye Heng¡¯s command, a furnace appeared in front of him.


    At the same time, the top lid was opened.


    Through the system¡¯s mechanical electronic voice, Ye Heng understood that only he could see this furnace.


    ¡°Please place the plants and seeds that need to be extracted in the furnace. The system can extract their high-quality characteristics.¡±


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s their high-quality characteristics.¡±


    When Ye Heng heard this, he was a little excited.


    Then, he threw the cactus that he had bought into the furnace.


    The lid of the extraction furnace was closed and then there was a surge of light.


    ¡°Beep, normal drought-resistance tested. Do you want to extract the relevant characteristic?¡±


    ¡°Extract it,¡± Ye Heng immediately said.


    ¡°Congratulations, host, you have obtained normal drought-resistance characteristics.¡±


    Ye Heng looked at the description given by the system.


    With this drought-resistance characteristic, plants would be able to survive in the arid desert.


    ¡°Next, extract the high-quality characteristics.¡±


    Seeing that the furnace given by the system was effective, Ye Heng was instantaneously excited.


    After all, as a person who worked in the horticulture industry, he was very clear about the benefits of extracting the high-quality characteristics of plants.


    After the first attempt, he was even more experienced in carrying out the extraction operation.


    Following the second attempt, he extracted the climbing characteristics from the vines.


    The third attempt was to extract the anti-infertile characteristics.


    In other words, plants could still survive in extremely infertile soil.


    Then, he extracted the characteristics that did not require sunlight to grow.


    The last attempt was to extract the characteristics of rapid growth from the bamboo.


    After extracting five characteristics in succession, Ye Heng shut the extraction furnace.


    He had no choice. He had only extracted five times, but he already felt exhausted and could not continue.


    After resting for two hours, Ye Heng opened another furnace.


    In his opinion, the five high-quality characteristics that he currently had were enough.


    There were a total of four furnaces here and the one that he opened was already so powerful, then the other furnaces must be even more powerful.


    After opening the fusion furnace, Ye Heng heard the system¡¯s mechanical electronic voice again.


    ¡°Host, please add in the seeds that require fusion of characteristics.¡±


    ¡°I also need to provide the seeds.¡±


    Ye Heng muttered to himself then reached his hand into the pile of seeds to get one seed and threw that into the furnace.


    ¡°Beep, tomato seed found.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to fuse?¡±


    At the end of this sentence, there were remarks on the five different high-quality characteristics.


    Seeing the page that popped up from the system, Ye Heng chose the drought-resistance characteristic.


    Then, the lid of the fusion furnace was closed.


    After waiting for some time, the system indicated that the fusion process was a success.


    ¡°Drought-resistance tomato seed, average grade, can successfully survive in barren deserts.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so powerful.¡±


    Seeing the system notification, Ye Heng was amazed by it.


    If such characteristics could be fused into rice, wouldn¡¯t everyone in China be able to eat their fill in the future?


    It could even benefit the entire world?


    ¡°Continue to fuse.¡±


    However, after seeing that it was an average grade, Ye Heng immediately made up his mind to fuse the other high-quality characteristics as well.


    ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining a drought-resistant and anti-infertile seed.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining a triple-resistance tomato seed.¡±


    Ye Heng didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to obtain consecutive successes in all three fusions.


    Even so, the system still considered the seed with so many characteristics to be average.


    ¡°One more time.¡±


    ¡°Beep, congratulations to the host for obtaining a rapid growing double-resistance tomato seed.¡±


    Good heavens, he did not expect that there would be no drought-resistance characteristic in this last attempt.


    It was extremely similar to some unscrupulous games.


    However, just as Ye Heng was about to enhance it again, he felt his head spin and almost fell to the ground.


    Only then did he realize that whether it was extracting the characteristics or fusing the characteristics, it required willpower.


    After so many attempts, Ye Heng felt that it had taken a toll on his health.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s already pretty good to have rapid growth and double-resistance characteristics. The most important thing now is to try planting it.¡±


    ¡°But this name is still too long. Maybe I can call it top-tier Tomato No. 1.¡±


    Ye Heng was a little nervous as he held the small seed in his palm.


    It was as if there was a black pearl in his palm and it was glowing brightly.


    Top-tier Tomato No. 1 only required one and a half months to grow and bear fruit.


    As for the other tomatoes, there was no way they could compete against it.


    Furthermore, this Tomato No. 1 had drought-resistance and fast-growing characteristics, which made it even more outstanding.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll try planting it today and see if it does possess these characteristics.¡±


    However, just as Ye Heng took out an empty soil basin, he heard the system¡¯s electronic sound.


    ¡°Beep Beep, a reminder to the host, you can cultivate seeds in the system¡¯s cultivation furnace.¡±


    ¡°In this furnace produced by the system, you can speed up the growth of the plants. In addition, before proceeding, the host can use the replication furnace to replicate the seeds.¡±


    ¡°Since the seed can only be planted one time, if it is put into use, the host needs to replicate the top-tier Tomato No. 1 seed again.¡±


    Ye Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard that..

 Chapter 3

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    He was surprised that the seed system was so thorough and had taken into consideration down to the minutest details.


    At first, he thought that it would take at least a month and a half to successfully cultivate top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    But now that the system had the replicate function, it would only take less than a week, probably around four to five days, for the cultivation to be complete.


    In addition, he could use the replication furnace to replicate, so it¡¯s equivalent to commercialising the technology.


    ¡°I should first observe their growth cycle and also taste the ripe fruits before making my conclusion.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye Heng immediately replicated the top-tier Tomato No. 1 seed.


    Then he took out three of the hundred seeds that he had replicated and put them into the system¡¯s furnace.


    Ye Heng was in shock when he saw the furnace that the system provided.


    Within the furnace, there was a large space inside, and it had a total area of 100,000 square kilometres which could be used for all kinds of cultivation and planting.


    After sowing the seeds, there was no need to water or fertilize the seeds.


    This was because it could simulate the cultivation environment of various plants.


    By this time, Ye Heng was channelling all his attention on the system.


    On the first day, the top-tier Tomato No. 1 seed germinated and the seedling grew to a height that was three times taller than the average tomato seed.


    As Ye Heng simulated the cultivation environment to be indoor, the vines of these tomatoes climbed along the wall like the morning glory.


    After a day, the seeds of the top-tier Tomato No. 1 grew flowers that bloomed and covered the entire courtyard wall.


    On the last day, the top-tier Tomato No. 1 seeds reached full maturity and bore fruits.


    But this time, the ripening of fruits was not that optimal.


    Out of a total of forty-five flowers, there were only five fruits that matured.


    At the end of the day, tomatoes that were as small as steamed buns grew.


    Ye Heng took the ripe tomato and held it in his hand.


    Even though to him, these top-tier Tomato No. 1 fruits were no different from ordinary tomatoes, he didn¡¯t dare to eat them immediately.


    ¡°System, could the fruits and vegetables grown like this be genetically modified to be poisonous?¡±


    ¡°Host, all the plants produced by the system are natural and free of pollution.¡±


    ¡°They are not genetically modified foods.¡±


    ¡°The plants modified by the system are enhanced with relevant high-quality characteristics.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let me see how they taste.¡±


    Ye Heng did not say a word after that and took a bite of the tomato.


    Then, he realized that there was a strong taste of tomato in his mouth, and in an instant, the juice was overflowing.


    Moreover, compared to those domesticated, natural and pollution-free green vegetable farms, it was even more sweet and tender.


    The taste was a bit sandy and was also soft like mochi.


    Compared to those sold in the market outside, which had been contaminated with pesticides and fertilizers, it was a world of difference.


    ¡°The taste isn¡¯t that outstanding but this tomato has one unique trait, which is that it can be placed in the courtyard.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s planted, it can be used as an ornament.¡±


    ¡°Since it doesn¡¯t need sunlight, it can be grown simply. Therefore, the taste of this kind of tomato is just average.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s a large tomato, there¡¯s no need to enhance the taste.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s a small tomato, the taste can be made better. However, they will have fewer ripe fruits.¡±


    Ye Heng said slowly.


    After all, there were so many flowers, but only a few tomatoes had matured.


    There were at most four or five tomatoes a day.


    However, even so, it was enough for a family to eat a meal of vegetables.


    ¡°Beep! Alert the host, because the cultivation furnace simulates the indoor cultivation environment.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, these flowers do not undergo pollination via animals, they can only grow a small number of tomatoes.¡±


    After hearing this, Ye Heng was stunned for a while. He forgot about this part.


    In this way, he still needed to improve the seeds.


    The best solution was to find a high-quality characteristic such as self-pollination. When fused with this characteristic, the rate of ripening the tomatoes could be greatly increased.


    However, given the current situation, the number of matured tomatoes was enough for an ordinary family to fill their stomachs.


    After all, there were only a few members in the family. They couldn¡¯t eat too many tomatoes, and it wasn¡¯t suitable to increase their commercial value.


    Moreover, for top-tier Tomato No. 1, there were not many requirements for its cultivation environment.


    Whether it was indoors or outdoors, it could be farmed.


    In addition, it had the anti-infertile characteristic. It could be planted even in soil with average fertility.


    Even if it was placed in a pot, it could be planted with some soil.


    Furthermore, it had the characteristic of rapid growth. Its growth speed could be accelerated with the use of natural and pollution-free fertilizers.


    It also had the twining characteristic of the vines, so it could be cultivated indoors.


    ¡°Just by fusing these characteristics, I can make such an ordinary tomato so powerful.¡±


    ¡°If I had obtained the system earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have let my own company go bankrupt or even be acquired by others.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye Heng felt a little embittered.


    ¡°But now that I have the seed cultivation system, it would be very easy for me to start my own business again.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I have to do future planning. After all, this system can allow these seeds to have the power to revolutionise the planet!¡±


    Ye Heng had not even cultivated the most common seeds since he was bound to the system.


    According to the system¡¯s classification, the seeds were divided into nine levels.


    However, he had yet to complete the first level, which was also the simplest type of seed.


    Even though the current tomato seeds possessed four powerful abilities, this type of tomato seed was not classified under any level in the system, so it was still not very robust.


    However, Ye Heng was not that anxious. He wanted to use this period of time to modify the seeds and find a way to increase the commercial value of these seeds and market them to the public.


    Even though the top-tier Tomato No. 1¡¯s seeds were not the best, every plant had its unique advantages. If he wanted to build a plant kingdom through the system in the future, he would need different seeds and plants.


    However, if he wanted to sell the seeds, no one would buy them even if he sold them for ten yuan.


    Therefore, he could only sell the immature plants so that he could better promote these top-tier tomatoes..

 Chapter 4

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    In addition, this top-tier tomato seed had one advantage, which was that customers did not need to wait for the seeds of the plant to germinate.


    Therefore, after they receive the immature plants, as long as they wait less than a month, they can get ripe fruits.


    It is also within these years, some of the elderly in the city became very interested in units with a balcony.


    They planted fruits and vegetables in courtyards, balconies as well as on rooftops.


    However, these people who grew up in the city were not real farmers. They did not have much technical knowledge about fertilizing, removing pests and the cultivation environment.


    As a result, a majority of them were not able to successfully grow vegetables. Not many of them could even eat the fruits and vegetables they grew.


    One had to know that planting was a skill. It was not only about the type of fertilizer used, but factors such as temperature, humidity and direct sunlight could affect the growth process of the plants.


    These unprofessional planters only relied on their enthusiasm to buy seeds to plant.


    When they returned home, they found that planting was not a simple thing. Instead, it was extremely difficult.


    After that, these old people in the city no longer plant for leisure but switched to mass dancing in the city square.


    As for the balconies in the city, they became empty and were no longer used to grow fruits and vegetables.


    However, planting as a leisure activity didn¡¯t completely disappear. Instead, it transformed into an alternative which was getting potted plants.


    Then again, potted plants weren¡¯t suitable for growing vegetables and fruits. Instead, the flowers and plants were more for ornamental purposes.


    Fruits and vegetables planted in pots failed to mature and grow as they could not receive enough sunlight.


    Plants that could be farmed were also sold in the flower and bird market.


    Top-tier Tomato No. 1 had the advantages of other plants. Now, with the combination of its four characteristics, problems encountered during indoor cultivation could be easily solved.


    Moreover, Ye Heng could guarantee that these people would like this seed.


    After all, everyone wanted to put the seed into the soil and just let it grow on its own without having to spend so much time on it. They just needed to water and fertilize it, and it could grow, blossom and bear fruits.


    Of course, they also needed to pay attention to pests.


    Since the top-tier tomato seeds had the anti-fertile characteristic, the growth of the tomatoes could be guaranteed without the person having to use fertilizers.


    In addition, it had the characteristic to grow vines, so it was completely not restricted by the container.


    Even if it was in the furnace provided by the system, because there was ample space for planting, it was sufficient for the previous stages of use.


    But if he took out the seedlings from the furnace every time, people would suspect him.


    ¡°Therefore, I have to buy some land now, and then use it as the exclusive planting base for seed cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Then, I will promote these cultivated seedlings.¡±


    ¡°At the beginning, income will not be my priority. Instead, I need to garner enough influence and popularity.¡±


    At this moment, Ye Heng was already thinking about future development.


    Of course, he had his thinking on how to promote his seeds.


    He just happened to know a beautiful live streamer in Fast Fish, her name was Tingting.


    Or rather, he didn¡¯t know her, but his assistant Zhao Yao did.


    After all, this great beauty, Tingting, was her best friend.


    Fast Fish¡¯s live streaming website had enough traffic and was a popular platform.


    In addition, the entire website was very big.


    Moreover, many people were watching live streaming as well as doing live broadcasts, and most of them were targeted at young people.


    Most of these people had the drive and were willing to be innovative and try new things.


    Thinking of this, Ye Heng directly called Zhao Yao.


    After the call was picked up, Zhao Yao¡¯s words came through.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Big Boss Ye Heng, it¡¯s been a long time, you took the initiative to call me?¡±


    ¡°Hi, I¡¯ve been quite busy recently. Zhao Yao, how are you now? Do you have a new job?¡±


    Ye Heng asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry to find a job right now. After all, I still have to enjoy my well-deserved break. If I start working, I won¡¯t have much time to rest. But my big boss, do you want to hire me again?¡±


    In an extremely large and luxurious manor in a city, Zhao Yao was holding the phone and stretching her other arm. It was obvious that she was doing yoga.


    She was wearing a black yoga outfit that perfectly accentuated her slim and beautiful figure.


    Her slender white legs that did not have any excess fat made her look even more astonishing.


    Even though there were no traces of makeup on her face, her appearance and skin condition were much better than that of any female celebrity.


    ¡°If you want to come over, of course, I¡¯d be happy to. However, the company is still in its early stages. I still have something that I need your help with.¡± At this moment, Ye Heng was a little embarrassed.


    ¡°I knew it. You thought of me because you have something to ask of me. Alright, could it be that you¡¯re short of money, or that you need help elsewhere?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright if it¡¯s about a shortage of funds. Even though my family background is average, I can still lend you some money,¡± Zhao Yao said.


    However, deep in Zhao Yao¡¯s heart, she wanted Ye Heng to ask for her help.


    She graduated from the best university in Huaxia and was the successor of one of the top financial groups in Huaxia.


    However, after she graduated from school, she did not want to rely on her parents so she chose to be an assistant in Ye Heng¡¯s company.


    If Ye Heng needed it, she could ask her father for tens of millions of money for him even if she would lose face.


    She had wanted to save his company in this manner before, but Ye Heng rejected her tactfully.


    ¡°No, I suddenly thought of your best friend, Li Tingting, who seems to be working as a live streamer at Fast Fish.¡±


    ¡°I just want to trouble you to bring her some gifts from me.¡±


    ¡°Oh? You¡¯re thinking about my best friend? Could it be that our big boss is also looking for a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Oh my god, what are you thinking about? I¡¯m planning to open another company now but I need her help to publicize and promote my product. It would be good to put it on the live broadcast.¡±


    Ye Heng explained.


    ¡°Open a new company and there¡¯s a new product?¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Yao was suddenly a little curious.


    She didn¡¯t expect this. She had not seen Ye Heng for a few days and he actually came up with some new products.


    Moreover, he seemed to have a follow-up plan.


    This could be considered as doing things swiftly and decisively.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. If it¡¯s to promote the products of the new company, I can help you with this.¡±


    Zhao Yao smiled and nodded.


    ¡°Sure, sure. I¡¯m grateful to you. When I¡¯m free later, I¡¯ll treat the two of you to a meal.¡±


    Ye Heng smiled slightly.


    ¡°Not bad. You¡¯re a big landlord now. That¡¯s great. But I¡¯m in City C now and it¡¯s a little far from your home.¡±


    Zhao Yao smiled.


    ¡°Oh? Send me your current address. I¡¯ll mail to you this new product. You can directly pass it to Tingting.¡±


    Ye Heng spoke.


    Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment.


    She looked around and fell silent..

 Chapter 5

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Twenty minutes later, Zhao Yao gave Ye Heng the address that was 20 kilometres away from her villa.


    Even though this address wasn¡¯t real, she could go and get it herself when she received the delivery call.


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve already sent you the address. Just send me the courier number when you receive the delivery.¡±


    ¡°Also, don¡¯t forget to send two copies! I need them too!¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You can have as many copies as you want, Miss Zhao Yao.¡±


    After settling this matter, Ye Heng heaved a sigh of relief.


    In the following days, Ye Heng carried out the cultivation of top-tier Tomato No. 1 during the day and transplanted the immature plants into the pots.


    Among them, two were for Zhao Yao, and two were for Tingting, the female streamer at Fast Fish, for promotion purposes.


    He also attached a note to the courier, which contained information on the planting process of this super tomato.


    The other six plants were only placed in his courtyard.


    After all, these top-tier Tomato No. 1s only needed to be watered once every few days to ensure their aesthetics and allowed them to be used as decorative items in the house.


    Even though they were placed in the house, Ye Heng saw a miracle from top-tier Tomato No. 1¡¯s growth.


    In just one day, the tomato seedlings took root.


    A day passed and top-tier Tomato No. 1 grew to the height of the surrounding wall.


    Another day passed and the vines of top-tier Tomato No. 1 began to climb up the wall.


    Although there was no fertilizer used, the plants grew very well.


    These days, Ye Heng used a video camera and mobile phone to film, making sure that he did not miss any part of the growth of these plants.


    ¡­


    After fifteen days, the entire wall was filled with vines. The wall was green and there were a few small flowers blooming.


    After another week, ripe fruits, each the size of a steamed bun, could be found on the wall. They looked ripe and succulent and made people want to take a bite of them.


    In less than a month, the tomato seedlings had grown from an ordinary sprout to bearing ripened fruits.


    Within the space of the furnace, he didn¡¯t feel anything, but when he saw the growth of top-tier Tomato No. 1 in his house, Ye Heng was shocked.


    ¡°In less than a month, it can grow so fast.¡±


    ¡°As for those top-tier tomatoes in the beautiful live streamer Tingting¡¯s house, they should also have the same effects.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye Heng suddenly laughed.


    During this period which was less than a month, he had not slacked off. He had been extracting plant characteristics whenever he had the energy.


    Furthermore, he had gone to the relevant government organisation and rented some farmland in the suburbs to be used for farming.


    The rental cost was a total of two million yuan. As for the period of the lease, it was thirty years.


    In addition, he opened a store on an e-commerce platform that specialized in selling top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    Even the rental cost of opening a store was four hundred thousand yuan.


    At first, he didn¡¯t have enough money on hand.


    But fortunately, when he took out a loan from the bank, he knew the manager.


    Therefore, he could get someone to be his guarantor to secure the loan of two million yuan.


    Ye Heng did his best to prepare this time.


    Although he couldn¡¯t guarantee the sales results of this top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    But with this seed system, even if the first product it produced didn¡¯t sell much, the future seeds would be better and there would definitely be a market for it.


    For example, Grandfather Yuan Longping had long developed rice that could survive in saline-alkali soil.


    If Ye Heng had the time, he could conduct sufficient research and development.


    He could even use the system to cultivate rice that could grow in the sea.


    The bustling city in the mountain, City C, was surrounded by mountains, but it was still as prosperous as ever.


    Its transportation was accessible from all directions. Both water and land routes were very well-developed.


    In just a day and a half, the tomato seedlings that Ye Heng had delivered were well received by Zhao Yao.


    However, when Zhao Yao opened the package and saw that there were four potted plants inside, she could hardly utter a word.


    She was really speechless.


    ¡°Why is Ye Heng so stupid? Why didn¡¯t he continue to do greening? Instead, he went to do planting? Besides, why does he have to do potted plants?¡±


    Zhao Yao was perturbed by Ye Heng¡¯s actions.


    She immediately took out her phone and dialed Ye Heng¡¯s number.


    However, after seeing the note, Zhao Yao was shocked.


    On a small piece of paper, there were various introductions of top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    Zhao Yao was Ye Heng¡¯s former assistant, so she was also very familiar with matters related to greening, not to mention these green plants.


    ¡°Top-tier Tomato No. 1?¡±


    ¡°How could it be called that? Could it be that Ye Heng suffered such a big blow and became stupid? How could there be such a powerful plant in the world?¡±


    In the end, she did not make the call. Zhao Yao planned to test whether the potted plants she received were really as powerful as what Ye Heng had recorded in his notes.


    As for the two potted plants inside, she made a call to the great beauty Tingting who was doing live streaming at Fast Fish.


    ¡°Hello, Tingting, I just sent a package. There are two potted plants inside. Don¡¯t forget to put them in front of your computer. They can absorb radiation from the computer.¡±


    ¡°What? Don¡¯t you know that the plants I raised before had all died?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been called the jinx of plants before. Why are you still sending me plants?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. These are specially developed by my good friend. You don¡¯t need to pay too much attention to them. You just need to water them punctually every day. Don¡¯t throw them away, alright? I¡¯ll go to your live broadcast later to see if they are still thriving.¡±


    ¡°Okay okay. But if they ended up dead, don¡¯t blame It on me.¡±


    Tingting muttered to herself.


    In less than a day, Tingting received the package.


    After opening it, she saw the two potted plants that Zhao Yao had told her about.


    As Zhao Yao did not give Tingting the note with the introduction of the top-tier Tomato No. 1, Tingting placed the potted plants directly in front of her computer table where she was broadcasting live.


    As long as she turned on the live stream, the two potted plants could be seen in the video.


    As Zhao Yao¡¯s best friend, Tingting was naturally gorgeous as well.


    The two of them were beautiful in their ways. Zhao Yao was beautiful and captivating, while Tingting was a petite loli-type.


    ¡°Not bad, streamer. You actually know how to buy potted plants? Didn¡¯t the cactus that died last time not enough to teach you a lesson?¡±


    A netizen with a long and rough ID sent a message.


    ¡°I did some research in the area of horticulture, but I didn¡¯t expect that when I saw the rhizome of the potted plant that the streamer brought back this time, I was actually unable to judge it.¡±


    ¡°Its rhizome looks like that of the morning glory, but its leaves don¡¯t look like it. It¡¯s a little strange.¡± A netizen said with uncertainty..

 Chapter 6

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Haha, let me guess, these two potted plants can only survive for at most two weeks? Do you want to bet? If I lose, I¡¯ll wash my hair upside down!¡±


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s bet!¡±


    Those netizens in Tingting¡¯s live broadcast room started flooding the screen with their comments.


    They were discussing heatedly the potted plants Tingting brought back.


    Some of them even started to flood the chatroom by offering gifts.


    From this, it could be seen that as a live streamer of Fast Fish, Tingting was popular and had quite a bit of traffic from her live streaming.


    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me. My best friend cum good sister personally sent this to me. I will definitely water them on time every day. I won¡¯t let them die.¡±


    Tingting was young and a bit ignorant.


    ¡°Alright, streamer. I have already taken a screenshot as evidence. When the time comes, if the plants died, I will release the pictures.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If plants are raised indoors, they won¡¯t be able to receive sunlight and without fertilizer, they usually won¡¯t be able to survive eventually. As for the cactus from last time, it was ¡®drowned¡¯ because of you,¡± another netizen quipped.


    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s see if I can raise these plants. Let¡¯s continue fighting King. Is there anyone with me?¡±


    Tingting called out.


    ¡°Look at me! Look at me!¡±


    ¡°The streamer is in the same team as me. I¡¯m the King!¡±


    ¡­


    As for the matter of the top-tier Tomato No. 1, they had completely forgotten about it.


    To these netizens, it was a small matter and couldn¡¯t be retained in their memories for long.


    After a day, Tingting was still busy with her own things. As for those netizens in the live broadcast room, they couldn¡¯t be bothered with the potted plants on the table.


    However, on the fifth day, Zhao Yao took the initiative to send a WeChat message to remind Tingting to water the top-tier Tomato No. 1 seedlings.


    Looking at the wilting tomato seedlings, Tingting suddenly felt a little embarrassed.


    After that, every day, Tingting would take the initiative to water the plants.


    Of course, she did this only for the sake of her best friend.


    Her current broadcasting career was developing at a fast rate and she had to manage it.


    A girl still had to put her career first.


    However, two weeks later, she was dumbstruck. Looking at the plants that she had grown, they had actually climbed onto the tool that she used to do her live broadcast.


    It was climbing up her microphone.


    Even on her computer desk and on the wall behind the computer, there were also tomato seedlings.


    ¡°Oh my god, what¡¯s going on? I was not even paying attention to them and they have grown so well! Don¡¯t tell me I have the talent to grow plants?¡± Tingting turned the camera to let her citizens see the potted plants.


    Her tone was full of pride and she was obviously showing off.


    ¡°Wow, what¡¯s going on? You only gave it a little water, but these two potted plants are growing rapidly,¡± the netizen with the long and rough id exclaimed loudly.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to call it the 18th miracle in the world!¡± another netizen added.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that an ordinary potted plant would look so good and even climb onto the wall! These green leaves look very pleasing to the eye. Wait a minute, look, aren¡¯t there some small flower buds? They¡¯re light yellow in colour. It¡¯s only been less than two weeks, right? They have really grown well but what kind of plants are they? The expert from before, quickly come out and tell us.¡±


    With the speed of a rocket, the netizen left a message.


    ¡°Just look at its rhizome, it looks like morning glory, but the leaves on it are completely different from morning glory.¡±


    ¡°In addition, there¡¯s no sunlight. It¡¯s impossible for the morning glory to grow like this in less than two weeks.¡±


    ¡°Also, the light yellow flower shape looks like a tomato. It¡¯s really strange.¡±


    The semi-professional spoke up.


    ¡°Alright, alright. let¡¯s not care about it. I also don¡¯t know what it is either. But with this potted plant, I feel that the air in the room is much fresher. Moreover, the walls aren¡¯t white anymore. There¡¯s even some green. It¡¯s very nice!¡±


    Tingting said with a smile.


    A netizen with a young girl¡¯s profile picture by the nickname Cat also left a message. ¡°Alright, Sister Tingting, let¡¯s wait for a few more days. Maybe we can see the ripe fruits! They might be edible.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± Tingting left the potted plants on their own and continued her live broadcast.


    In just two days, the netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked.


    They didn¡¯t expect the two potted plants to really bloom and bear fruits.


    These small green fruits looked very appetizing and they stimulated people¡¯s salivary glands, making them want to eat the fruits.


    Their rate of growth was almost ridiculous.


    Not only did they climb up the wall quickly, but they also bloomed and bore fruits.


    After seeing the ripe fruits, Tingting became more attentive. She watered the plants on time every day.


    As for the netizens who entered her live broadcast room, they all started paying attention to these two potted plants.


    Presumably, they were very curious about what kind of fruits these plants would produce?


    A total of thirty days had passed, and these netizens in the live broadcast room were surprised to find that the fruits had actually matured.


    There were a total of eight fruits in the two potted plants.


    Their appearance was all red and ripe.


    However, what surprised the netizens was that the appearance of these fruits often looked like tomatoes sold in the market.


    ¡°Bullfrog, Bullfrog! I didn¡¯t expect that tomatoes could actually climb walls!¡±


    ¡°Haha, I said it was a tomato from the beginning.¡±


    The semi-professional was a little shocked.


    ¡°I¡¯m a little dumbfounded. How can a tomato climb a wall? Could it be that I woke up in the wrong way today?¡±


    No one laughed at him. After all, everyone in the live broadcast room was shocked by the green plants on Tingting¡¯s live broadcast wall.


    They never expected that a tomato could climb walls.


    At the same time, a large group of people came to Tingting¡¯s live broadcast room to watch the show.


    In this way, it also increased the popularity of her live broadcast.


    ¡°They look tasty. After all, I raised these tomatoes with my heart and soul.¡±


    ¡°Let me pick one and eat it.¡±


    Looking at the ripe fruits in front of her, Tingting suddenly smiled.


    She knew very well that she did not use fertilizer or pesticides.


    Therefore, these tomatoes must be non-toxic and free of pollution.


    ¡°Tingting, wait a minute. Don¡¯t eat them yet.¡±


    ¡°After all, these tomatoes are too strange. They might even be genetically modified products. I hope you can check them first.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡±


    A group of netizens tried to dissuade her.


    Tingting swallowed her saliva and picked a fruit. She planned to bring it to a professional institution for inspection.


    Not long after, Tingting took the test report and returned to her room.


    In front of the live broadcast camera, Tingting took out the test report and happily took a bite of the tomato.


    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t believe this. These tomatoes are not genetically modified products. In fact, their nutritional value is much higher than that of ordinary tomatoes.¡±


    Tingting took another bite of the tomatoes, paused and continued.


    ¡°It seems that our family doesn¡¯t need to buy tomatoes in the future. After all, six tomatoes were picked yesterday, and four more have grown today.¡±


    ¡°They taste so sweet and juicy! They are all-natural and pollution-free tomatoes. This is really similar to the taste I had when I was a kid..¡±

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Then congratulations to Tingting. This way, you won¡¯t have to go to the market to buy vegetables anymore, and looking at these tomatoes, I have an urge to buy tomatoes too.¡±


    ¡°Streamer, hurry up and tell us where you bought your plants? I want to buy them and plant them at home too.¡±


    Another rocket flashed by. It was a tip from the semi-professional.


    ¡°Me too.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Ditto.¡±


    Hearing this, all the netizens in the live broadcast room looked expectantly at Tingting and the tomato in her hand.


    They couldn¡¯t help it. They were all attracted by such a strange tomato.


    The days that followed made them even more surprised.


    They didn¡¯t expect that the top-tier Tomato No. 1 planted by Tingting, the live streamer of Fast Fish, not only bloomed every day but also bore ripe fruits daily. In other words, she could eat fresh tomatoes daily. In just three days, Tingting had a total of sixteen tomatoes and they weighed up to six or seven catties. More than two catties of tomatoes a day was enough for a family of three to eat. As for her parents, they looked at the green vines in the room in astonishment.


    When they saw the green vines all over the wall, they were both dumbfounded.


    ¡°Is this true?¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯m dreaming?¡±


    Tingting¡¯s father represented all the netizens in the live broadcast room.


    After all, even if they planted the tomatoes in the soil, there was no guarantee that the tomatoes could survive.


    As for the tomatoes that Tingting planted, they were growing in a small pot.


    But now, they grew so well. They were so green and they even bore fruits.


    As for the unclean air in the room, it had also become fresh. The air quality in the room was even comparable to when the air conditioner was turned on.


    ¡°Tingting, what¡¯s going on?¡± Tingting¡¯s mother asked in surprise.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on either. These potted plants were all sent to me by my best friend. I¡¯ll give her a call right now. We must plant a few more of such good things. In the future, we won¡¯t have to buy tomatoes anymore,¡± Tingting said with a smile.


    Right now, countless fans in her live broadcast room were asking where her tomatoes came from.


    Every time she started her live broadcast, there would be countless comments popping up.


    Although, most people didn¡¯t care about the money they spent on vegetables and fruits.


    However, the vegetables sold outside were mostly treated with pesticides and stale chemical fertilizers. They were better off growing their vegetables, which were natural and pollution-free.


    Some enthusiastic netizens made a video of the growth of the seedlings of the top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    After the Fast Fish broadcast, everyone could see the video of the growth process of the top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    An ordinary tomato would need, on average, half a year to grow well.


    But now, this tomato only required a month plus to completely mature, which was surprising.


    Not to mention, there was no need to fertilize it, you just need to water it and nothing else was required.


    Even a girl like Tingting didn¡¯t cause it to die.


    Furthermore, it didn¡¯t take up any space at all. It needed a small tabletop and a wall, which was enough for them to grow.


    The green vines on the white wall looked good as decorations.


    The people sitting in front of the computer desk could pick one tomato and taste it when they were hungry. It was very enviable.


    ¡°Okay, call her quickly and ask for a few potted plants for me. I¡¯ve been wanting to have a vegetable field at home for a long time.¡±


    Tingting¡¯s mother was very excited.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll make the call.¡±Tingting took out her phone and dialled Zhao Yao¡¯s number.


    ¡­


    However, what they didn¡¯t know was at this time, Zhao Yao was even more surprised than Tingting.


    She had originally seen the note Ye Heng left, especially the important cautions about planting top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    She also thought that Ye Heng might be indulging in his fantasy world and she didn¡¯t believe him.


    Therefore, she paid a lot of attention to the two potted plants at home.


    Not only did she water them on time, but she also often fertilize them.


    However, to her surprise, after fertilizing these potted tomatoes, they grew faster.


    In less than a week, these two potted tomatoes grew to two meters long.


    Not only that, they bloomed in less than two weeks and on the twentieth day, they had completely matured.


    In other words, the tomatoes that Zhao Yao raised had ripened almost a week earlier than Tingting¡¯s tomatoes, given that Tingting didn¡¯t take care of them.


    At first, no one paid attention to the tomato seedlings that Zhao Yao placed in the room, but then the tomatoes grew rapidly.


    The beautiful tomato vines had already been noticed by her mother.


    ¡°This Ye Heng has indeed created a very powerful thing.¡±


    Even Zhao Yao was very happy when she saw the greenery in front of her.


    However, after picking the small tomato fruit and tasting it, Zhao Yao pursed her lips.


    There was nothing she could do. The taste of this tomato was about the same as the ones sold in the market. It wasn¡¯t much better.


    Now, she was regretting it. Why did she have to add fertilizer?


    ¡°Zhao Yao, people don¡¯t grow vegetables as you do. If everyone fertilizes as you do, it would be no different from the ones sold in the market.¡±


    Zhao Yao¡¯s mother ate for a while and shook her head.


    ¡°This is our first time growing them.¡±


    ¡°My good daughter, you¡¯re afraid of planting them to death, right? Looks like you¡¯ve taken a liking to these two tomato plants.¡±


    Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said with a smile.


    ¡°Mom, what are you talking about?¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Yao¡¯s face turned red.


    ¡°Also, do you think that your father and I don¡¯t know anything when you¡¯ve been working in someone else¡¯s company after you graduated? But this boy is good-looking and has an upright character. I allow you to date him. But your father won¡¯t be that easy. He¡¯s quite strict about the family background of the other party.¡± The smile on Zhao Yao¡¯s mother¡¯s face was even wider.


    ¡°Ah, we¡¯re not at that stage yet. He doesn¡¯t even know that I like him.¡±


    Zhao Yao muttered to herself.


    She fiddled with her hair and suddenly felt that it was a little difficult.


    ¡°When will this blockhead find out?¡± When she thought of this, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Fortunately, she had good taste. The man she liked was now back on his feet and wanted to fight again.


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry, daughter. I won¡¯t stop you. However, the most important thing now is to bring back a few potted tomato seedlings for me. I like the beautiful tomato vines in your room,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said.


    She was a housewife after all!


    She had an interest in these vegetables and fruits.


    ¡°Okay, Mom, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    It was very easy for Zhao Yao to get a potted tomato plant.


    After all, she had been helping Ye Heng build an online shop for the last few days. Now it was time to open the shop for business..

 Chapter 8

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Now, the shop was ready.


    They would do some promotions via her best friend¡¯s live broadcast room and then they could officially open for business.


    But when she thought of this, Zhao Yao received a call from Tingting.


    ¡°Zhao Yao, are you there? Are there any more potted tomatoes you sent me last time? Is there a link to the seller? You don¡¯t know right, but a lot of people have been asking me these days. I¡¯m going crazy,¡± Tingting¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone.


    ¡°Hehe! Tingting, I¡¯m sure that¡¯s the reason why you got a lot more people in your live broadcast room.¡± Zhao Yao laughed.


    ¡°Hey, maybe they just came over on a whim to take a look. When they¡¯re not curious anymore, they¡¯ll be gone,¡± Tingting said with a smile.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll help you ask if his potted tomato shop is open? If it is, I¡¯ll send you the link to his online shop.¡±


    Zhao Yao said.


    ¡°Oh, why do I feel like I¡¯m being used by you guys? But if he wants me to promote it, how much is he going to pay me for the advertising?¡± Although Tingting looked very adorable, she was actually very shrewd.


    After all, there were many beautiful female streamers and handsome male streamers in the live broadcast room who were helping some online shops advertise their products.


    There were even some streamers who put up links to their own shops in the live broadcast room.


    From daily necessities, snacks, to other bigger necessities, they were all sold through these platforms. In this way, it could be considered as earning extra money.


    ¡°Alright, let me help you ask.¡±


    ¡°But you mustn¡¯t ask him for too much advertising fees. Otherwise, I won¡¯t go easy on you. After all, he doesn¡¯t have much money now,¡± Zhao Yao agreed immediately.


    ¡°Oh, I was just testing you. I didn¡¯t expect you to show your tail and side with your boyfriend so quickly. But then again, when can I meet him?¡± Tingting immediately teased with a smile.


    ¡°Okay, I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore.¡± Zhao Yao hung up the phone, then called Ye Heng and repeated Tingting¡¯s words.


    However, Ye Heng was used to this business model.


    ¡°My shop will officially open tomorrow. As for the advertising fees, I¡¯ll give her three hundred thousand yuan per month first. When the sales of the products increase in the future, I will increase the fees again. In addition, if a new product is launched later, we can also give her priority to do live streaming to increase the traffic.¡±


    Ye Heng thought for a moment and said.


    The seeds that would be cultivated later would definitely be more powerful than the top-tier Tomato No. 1. If Tingting got it in advance, it could also bring him a lot of traffic and subsequently revenue.


    It would be a win-win situation for both parties.


    However, Tingting¡¯s live broadcast room might have to change modus operandi, from the original gaming live broadcast room to a live broadcast room related to planting.


    ¡°A new product!¡± Zhao Yao was immediately excited when she heard that.


    After all, in the link that had just appeared, the top-tier Tomato No. 1 had already shocked countless people.


    If another product appeared, it would probably be very powerful.


    Zhao Yao couldn¡¯t help but feel a little expectant now.


    She was very clear that Ye Heng¡¯s major in university was related to plants. However, she didn¡¯t expect that he could really develop a new type of plant.


    ¡°Yeah, you can say so. Also, the next product might not be potted plants. It could be fruits and vegetables grown in outdoor soil, or it could be garden flowers, there are all possibilities.¡±


    ¡°But the most important thing now is to target the stomach. Therefore, our next product is lettuce,¡± Ye Heng explained.


    However, he was very clear about the reason why he chose lettuce.


    Firstly, it was because lettuce tasted very good and could be eaten raw.


    In the Western countries, lettuce was part of their diet and it could be used to make garden salads. Furthermore, lettuce was an ideal choice of food among women.


    ¡­


    After ending an exciting game of King, Tingting suddenly yawned.


    Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already 11 o¡¯clock. Just as she was about to end the live broadcast, her mind lit up.


    She suddenly thought of what she had said to her best friend today. When she thought of the marketing fee that was worth three hundred thousand yuan, she was really a little surprised.


    She didn¡¯t expect Zhao Yao¡¯s boyfriend would give her such a high advertising fee.


    ¡°Alright, everyone, today¡¯s live broadcast ends here. Thank you for your attention and tips. Also, before you go to bed, you can take a look at a certain Cosmic Planting flagship store.¡±


    ¡°You can take a look at my computer screen.¡±


    After that, Tingting turned on the camera and moved it to the page that had just been opened on the computer screen.


    ¡°What the hell? Could it be that our live streamer, who has a bright future, is also going to be corrupted by money?¡±


    ¡°What a joke. Streamer, do you still think that we are naive people from the past? We will not fall for the capitalist trick again.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. There are too many tricks nowadays. We will not fall for it.¡±


    One particular netizen who was still in the live broadcast room saw the advertisement that Tingting suddenly inserted and was immediately speechless.


    ¡°Everyone, wait, listen to me first. This shop doesn¡¯t sell those unethical products. Instead, the shop sells these tomato plants that are on my computer table.¡±


    Tingting said with a smile.


    ¡°F*ck? There¡¯s really a shop.¡±


    ¡°Brothers, hurry up and check if it¡¯s real.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ve seen it. It¡¯s real, but an ordinary tomato seedling costs 50 yuan. This is even more expensive than an ordinary ornamental plant. The most important thing is that they don¡¯t include free shipping.¡±


    ¡°Brothers, don¡¯t worry, this shop states that if the product is fake, it can be returned within 15 days, which means that if you return it, you don¡¯t have to pay for the shipping fee.¡±


    ¡°This sounds good, I can buy some back and let my parents grow it.¡±


    The netizens that were still in the broadcast room immediately rushed into Ye Heng¡¯s Cosmic Planting store.


    To them, 50 yuan was still reasonable. Not to mention those rich tycoons, as long as they were happy, the tips that they give to the streamer could be more than 10,000 yuan.


    Therefore, a few rich people took the initiative and bought back ten potted plants at one go.


    From the looks of it, they were probably using these potted plants to decorate their villa.


    With nearly 500,000 fans, the purchasing power reached 1/10.


    At this time, the turnover of Ye Heng¡¯s flagship store instantly reached 50,000 yuan, and it was still increasing.


    It was also because people saw the growth process of the tomatoes through the live broadcast room and this resulted in the increase in the number of buyers.


    It was also at this time that Ye Heng¡¯s flagship store suddenly became popular.


    But unsurprisingly, the turnover on the second day was estimated to be much lower.


    However, after a month, there would be a breakout in turnover again.


    ¡°With so much trading volume, if we were to package it, it would also require a lot of work. It seems that we have to find some people to do it..¡±

 Chapter 9

    Ye Heng did some calculations. He needed at least five customer service employees and ten employees to do packaging, or also known as packagers.


    In addition, his company would continue to develop in the future. Therefore, in his opinion, he would rather hire more people than have fewer people.


    He planned to hire eight customer service employees and twenty packagers at one go.


    ¡°This is making me dizzy. I¡¯m lacking people. Alright, I¡¯ll look for Zhao Neng then¡±


    At this moment, Ye Heng suddenly had an idea.


    As the former boss of a greening company, he was very clear about his employees.


    Furthermore, he had been observing the situation of his previous company recently and realized that because of the change in management, more than half of the employees had been laid off.


    ¡°Old Zhao, I heard that more than half of the people in the company have been fired.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye Heng immediately contacted the Human Resource director of his previous company.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Boss Ye. You may not know but the current employer is ruthless. He fired all the people who didn¡¯t want to listen to him. He even planned to merge his own company with our greening company. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I have a family to support, I would have left with you long ago.¡±


    Zhao Neng immediately started to complain when he heard this.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. That¡¯s not the reason why I¡¯m looking for you. By the way, give me the list of the employees who were fired and their contact details. I can arrange jobs for them.¡±


    Ye Heng smiled and said.


    ¡°Boss Ye, you are amazing. I didn¡¯t expect you to start a company so soon.¡± Zhao Neng was surprised at the news.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If you are willing to change companies, I will reserve a position for you and your salary will remain the same. Also, let me tell you in advance that my new company is much better than the previous greening company. If you come here, I will treat you well.¡± Ye Heng said.


    ¡°Okay, since you recognised and appreciate my talents, I will follow you.¡± On the other end of the phone, Zhao Neng thought for a minute, slowly nodded and replied firmly to Ye Heng.


    ¡°Okay, I will send you the data about the new company in a while. Your job now is to help me organize the staff as soon as possible. There is still a lot of work to be done.¡±


    There were nearly 50,000 express deliveries. Even the packaging needed about 20 people, and it would take another two days to complete.


    There were also lacking people to do the cultivation and planting.


    In total, they needed at least 70 people.


    In addition, they were experiencing financial challenges so they couldn¡¯t rent too much space in their current office environment.


    If they only rented one office building, they would need to pay a rental fee of around 300,000 yuan.


    But fortunately, Ye Heng still had 300,000 yuan. Borrowing this amount of money could be considered as solving a pressing problem.


    According to the online store¡¯s system, the seller would only receive the money after customers had confirmed the receipt of the goods. Therefore, even though there were a lot of orders, it would still take half a month before the money was fully recovered.


    ¡°Oh my god!¡±


    When he saw the data about the Cosmic Planting store, Zhao Neng was completely shocked. They were only selling tomato plants, but they had a sales quota of 2.5 million yuan in one day.


    As a veteran employee of the Human Resource department, he naturally did not believe this.


    Therefore, he had gathered information and thoroughly studied Ye Heng¡¯s products.


    However, after going through the detailed data Ye Heng gave him about top-tier Tomato No. 1, he completely understood.


    He had never thought that there would be such a powerful tomato.


    Therefore, he could understand why this product could sell so many orders in less than a day.


    The potted plant of Tomato No. 1 had opened up a new market for urban vegetable cultivation.


    If each family bought two potted plants for cultivation, the quantity demanded would be in the hundreds of millions.


    In addition, the top-tier Tomato No. 1 had a lifespan of one year. After a year, the plant will die.


    They didn¡¯t need to consider the issue of continuation.


    No wonder Boss Ye was so confident in his products.


    Compared to the previous greening companies, this Cosmic Planting flagship store was on a whole new level.


    Its revenue was increasing by a hundred times.


    Although it would hurt the profits of some vegetable farmers in the beginning, in the long run, it was a good development for the health of the whole country and the nation.


    After all, such natural and pollution-free vegetables were more reassuring than genetically modified foods.


    ¡°Now it seems like we can make it big.¡±


    After envisioning the vast prospects of Cosmic Planting, Zhao Neng was full of zeal.


    It was also on this day that Zhao Neng immediately tendered his resignation.


    Because he was an old employee, the new boss didn¡¯t like these old employees to stay in the company.


    Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Neng was going to resign, he immediately approved it.


    That night, Zhao Neng used his contact information to contact all the employees who had been fired.


    Not long after, he took dozens of employees and went straight to Ye Heng¡¯s farm.


    Because Zhao Neng was previously in Human Resource Management, the network and connections that he had were beyond one¡¯s imagination.


    In less than a few days, he brought in a lot of employees and settled the customer service and packaging work.


    He was also responsible for the recruitment of new employees.


    Ye Heng gave Zhao Neng full responsibility for this aspect.


    The packagers who came did not hesitate to pack the products. At the gate of this plantation, there were often trucks from the express delivery company.


    Many potted tomatoes were placed in the soil and packaged for express delivery before being placed on the trucks.


    Luckily, Zhao Neng came in time. However, it took them five days to settle 50,000 orders.


    Therefore, Ye Heng also understood why some merchants did not ship the goods when they were doing online shopping. After all, these orders made people anxious and eager.


    However, it was also because of this order of 50,000 that made Ye Heng realise a problem.


    The 30-year-old seed farm that he rented wasn¡¯t sufficient for the later products to be planted.


    But he still had to develop more plant varieties in the future.


    According to his detailed estimation, it might not be enough to build up his planting kingdom by only renting this piece of land in the suburbs.


    It would only be good enough when the company could expand their cultivation on the land in the next county..

    By the next day, a person named Meow Meow Candy had received two potted plants from the Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    The two potted tomatoes cost her 100 yuan. After all, the new store didn¡¯t provide coupons nor did it support Tao gold coins.


    This person named Meow Meow Candy was actually from City C and was a very famous cosplayer in the Cosplay Circle.


    In the Cosplay Circle, her name was Plum Blossom.


    Because she was very good-looking and had a good temperament, her job as a model was very easy.


    Even in City C, where every inch of land was expensive, she could still guarantee a salary of 80,000 yuan a month.


    Although she couldn¡¯t be compared to the average rich person, this was more than enough to support herself.


    In the live broadcast website Fast Fish, she had already given out 20,000 to 30,000 yuan and also had Tingting¡¯s fan tag.


    Meow Meow Candy liked to grow plants, and there were many ornamental flowers on her balcony.


    Because she didn¡¯t have any land, she could only grow the plants she liked on the limited space in the balcony.


    The plants here were all cacti and orchids.


    Although she had planted some fruits and vegetables, they didn¡¯t last long and died.


    After all, in such a small enclosed environment, ordinary vegetables could not survive.


    After opening the express delivery, Plum Blossom was surprised to find that the top-tier Tomato No. 1 plant did not wither but was still growing strong.


    When Plum Blossom saw this, she immediately turned on the computer.


    She carefully looked at the pictures left by Tingting when she was growing the tomatoes, and they were the same as what she received.


    She searched for some pictures of plants on the internet, but after comparing them, she found that the leaves and roots of other plants could not be compared to them.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like a fake product, but whether it¡¯s the same as the one in the live broadcast room, I¡¯ll have to test it.¡±


    Plum Blossom analyzed the video clip that Tingting had edited in the live broadcast room.


    In about a week, she could see the results.


    Plum Blossom carefully placed the tomato seedling at one corner of the room to ensure that there was a bare wall for it to grow.


    She placed another potted tomato plant in the living room.


    This way, she could let her parents see that their daughter did not spend money recklessly.


    As time passed, in just two weeks, the tomato plants in the room had already climbed all over the wall.


    On this snow-white wall, there were green and some yellow colours on it.


    ¡°Shocking. The newly bought tomato seedlings have bloomed within a short period.¡±


    On all the major social media platforms, Plum Blossom posted photos of the tomatoes she had grown.


    Not long after, many people sent her private messages and asked about the situation.


    After all, they had never thought that there would be plants that could grow and climb on the inner walls of the house.


    When Plum Blossom saw these messages, she smiled. She did not reply, but only updated the situation of the tomatoes regularly.


    When the green plants completely covered the wall and the whole room looked like a fairyland, Plum Blossom became even more delighted.


    It was exactly as Tingting had said. She didn¡¯t need to spend too much energy on them. She could let them grow normally by watering them on time every day.


    In this way, she didn¡¯t need to make strenuous efforts to grow them.


    Not only was she shocked, but even her parents were also surprised.


    She didn¡¯t expect that this plant that looked like morning glory could grow fruits.


    Moreover, this kind of fruit looked like a ripe tomato.


    ¡°Can this fruit be eaten?¡±


    ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. If it can¡¯t be eaten, why would I buy it, right? When we have enough of this kind of vegetables to eat in the future, our family won¡¯t have to go out and buy vegetables anymore!¡±


    ¡°Besides, in this way, we can save money,¡± Plum Blossom said with a smile.


    After the other netizens received the express delivery, they all took photos of the tomatoes they raised two weeks later.


    The shocking thing was that these tomatoes were growing very well. They didn¡¯t even wither.


    Among these photos of tomatoes that were shared, some of the tomatoes had just bloomed while others bore fruits.


    The beautiful live streamer Tingting was very excited in her live broadcast room, but she was a little speechless.


    While she was exhilarated that her number of followers had increased again, the reason why she was speechless was that everyone started discussing tomatoes as soon as they entered her live broadcast room.


    ¡°Brothers, I¡¯m feeling a bit miserable! I conducted a small experiment and added a lot of fertilizer to this tomato seedling. Can you guess what happened?¡± The semi-professional smiled and asked.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re awesome. Did you plant it to death?¡± A netizen replied.


    ¡°I guess it should be this. After all, this kind of tomato doesn¡¯t need to be fertilized to grow. Moreover, this kind of tomato is natural and pollution-free. It¡¯s even more delicious than the green vegetables in the market.¡±


    Meow Meow Candy said.


    ¡°Okay, I will just upload the photo directly.¡± The semi-professional directly took a photo.


    When the netizens in the live broadcast room saw the photo, the live broadcast room suddenly fell silent for half a minute.


    Then, the screen was full of bullfrogs, and more bullfrogs.


    As for some netizens who were eating and drinking, they burst out laughing.


    ¡°Good guy, you like tomatoes so much, you¡¯d better learn from us, only water the plants, don¡¯t fertilize.¡± A group of netizens laughed.


    In the photo that the semi-professional had sent out earlier, the entire house was green. At first glance, they thought it was some kind of forest.


    There were also countless ripe red fruits.


    ¡°My current status, other than regret, is still regret.¡±


    ¡°If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You might as well not fertilize it.¡±


    ¡°These two potted tomato plants were all fertilized by me, but unexpectedly, they grew so much.¡±


    The semi-professional was at a loss.


    ¡°Looks like this Cosmic Planting is not bad, I¡¯m liking it more and more.¡±


    Meow Meow Candy chuckled.


    It was also at this time that the order volume in the Cosmic Planting flagship store slowly dropped from 50,000 on the first day to 10,000. Then, at 4,000, it stopped.


    However, after half a month, the order volume in the entire flagship store continued to increase. The daily turnover was 100,000.

    As a professor specializing in biology at Beijing University, Li Jing was very knowledgeable about genetically modified plants.


    He was also very clear about the drawbacks of the genetically modified foods that were circulating on the market. Therefore, he did experiments to solve these problems.


    Although Li Jing was not as well-known in the world as that old man, he was also a famous big shot in the field of horticulture.


    But just yesterday, his precious daughter brought him a potted plant.


    She even told him with a smile that this would definitely shock him..

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    From Li Jing¡¯s point of view, he naturally had his doubts.


    Didn¡¯t his daughter know that he was an expert in biology? How could there be a plant that he hadn¡¯t seen before?


    Not to mention a plant that could shock him.


    Li Jing didn¡¯t pay much attention to it, which was why he placed this potted plant on his table. When he ate breakfast every day, he would water it.


    At first, he didn¡¯t care too much about it, but after only a week, he was shocked to see that the potted plant on the table kept on growing and had flowers blossoming.


    ¡°Strange. This plant looks like a vine-type plant. Why does its flower look like that of a tomato?¡±


    Seeing this, Li Jing was immediately shocked.


    Moreover, his curiosity towards this plant grew.


    He immediately took out the soil that was placed in the potted plant and brushed his hands against it.


    ¡°This looks like the most ordinary southern soil.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the soil is extremely infertile.¡±


    However, the fact that this seed could successfully grow in such barren soil was what shocked Li Jing the most.


    It was also because of this that he paid more attention to top-tier Tomato No. 1. Every day, he took care of it diligently. Unknowingly, the vines also climbed onto the wall.


    After another week, the light yellow flowers that were originally blooming gradually turned into fruits.


    Green vines and red fruits appeared on the wall.


    ¡°This kind of tomato seedling is indeed a little strange.¡±


    In Li Jing¡¯s opinion, nowadays, what genetic engineering could achieve to the greatest extent was to improve the resistance of ordinary plants to pests.


    However, he was completely baffled by this strange tomato seedling.


    ¡°Could it be a newly developed breed?¡±


    Li Jing brought the ripe fruit to the research laboratory in the school.


    After the analysis by the machine, he was surprised to find that there was only a tomato gene in it.


    Could it be that the tomato seedlings in the pot were only a plant breed developed through hybridization?


    ¡°Could it be that China now has a botany expert of the same level as academician Yuan Longping?¡±


    As he was uncertain about this seedling, Li Jing used his expertise as a specialist in this area and carefully studied this top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    However, he was surprised to find that not only could the tomato seed grow rapidly, but it also had anti-infertile characteristics and could grow in the shade.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite perfect,¡± Li Jing said with bated breath while looking through the research report.


    In his opinion, he wanted to know who could make such a powerful plant.


    If such plants could become a commodity to people, every family in China could eat naturally produced, pollution-free vegetables grown by themselves.


    In addition, he discovered something after tasting the tomato fruit.


    The taste of this tomato was even better than those green vegetables.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Tian Tian?¡±


    Li Jing immediately turned on his phone and dialled his daughter¡¯s number.


    As for his daughter, she was studying at another top university in China.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Dad? I¡¯m in class right now.¡± Tian Tian¡¯s voice came from the phone.


    ¡°Daughter, tell Dad, the potted tomato plant at home, how did you get it?¡± Li Jing was clearly still anxious.


    ¡°Hehe, Dad, you didn¡¯t expect it, right? You were shocked by this plant. This top-tier Tomato No. 1 is very powerful right?¡± Tian Tian immediately laughed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a powerful plant. Who¡¯s the expert who made this? Do you know? I want to communicate with him,¡± Li Jing immediately said.


    ¡°Okay, Dad, honestly speaking, I¡¯m not very sure either.¡±


    ¡°A good friend of mine told me about this plant, then he sent me the link to the online store. I¡¯ll forward the link to you later.¡±


    Then came the tone of the phone being hung up.


    Not long after, a little red dot appeared on the chat tool.


    Li Jing opened the chatbox and clicked on the Taobao Shop link sent by his daughter.


    After Li Jing opened it, he saw top-tier Tomato No. 1 that was only sold in this shop.


    As for the sales below, they were even more shocking.


    The top-tier Tomato No. 1 was now a product that appeared on the front page of the entire online shop.


    It had been over a month and the daily order volume of the shop had reached 50,000.


    By this time, the top-tier Tomato No. 1 had already sold nearly two million. As for the revenue, it was even more shocking.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to cost 50 yuan for one. Although this kind of potted plant isn¡¯t very expensive, he has such a powerful scientific research talent, yet he only knows about money! Doesn¡¯t he know that science is to serve the people?¡±


    When Li Jing saw this scene, he was instantly furious.


    He specifically took a look at the reviews.


    He was very surprised to find that there wasn¡¯t a single bad review in it. Words and photos were praising the excellence of top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    These buyers were very satisfied with the top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    As for Cosmic Planting¡¯s Weibo, the official account and the public account had many people subscribing to it and had close to a million fans.


    Looking at the shop¡¯s webpage, Li Jing fell into silence.


    ¡°Our latest new product will be coming to the store in one week. Customers are welcome to make their reservations.¡±


    A huge announcement appeared in front of him.


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s a new product being launched.¡±


    Seeing the advertising slogans, Li Jing was immediately surprised.


    If a new product could be launched, it meant that the development of top-tier Tomato No. 1 was not a coincidence.


    In other words, the researcher behind the store could develop new products.


    Moreover, such a researcher must have a good understanding of botany.


    ¡°It seems like I have to ask this e-commerce platform who¡¯s the boss of this flagship store!¡±


    ¡°I have to find time to meet him. If he can help us with our research, our country¡¯s research and development in the field of plants will be able to improve by several levels,¡± this thought appeared in Li Jing¡¯s mind.


    After all, Grandfather Yuan Longping was able to guarantee that the people of China would not starve to death again.


    He could even use the results of his research and development to benefit the people of China and even the people of the world.


    If this mysterious scholar joined them, they would not have to worry about China¡¯s food in the future.


    Not to mention the ridiculous act of importing food from foreign countries as well.


    Such a foolish act would never happen in China..

    In the beginning, Tingting was also a relatively well-known gaming streamer.


    But when she started growing top-tier Tomato No. 1 in her live broadcast room, the number of people who followed her grew more and more, even surpassing the 500,000 mark.


    The popularity of her live broadcast room skyrocketed every day.


    ¡°Tingting, there are too many tomatoes at home. Hurry up and eat some.¡±


    Tingting¡¯s mother¡¯s voice could be heard from behind her.


    She had cultivated two potted tomatoes herself, but after she saw the link to the Taobao shop, she bought two more potted tomatoes.


    Therefore, their family could now harvest five to six catties of tomatoes every day.


    Although the family of three could eat so many tomatoes in a day, a healthy diet consisted of meat and vegetables and they couldn¡¯t eat tomatoes every day.


    Tingting and her parents had been eating a variety of tomato dishes every day. These dishes included sugar-mixed tomatoes, scrambled eggs with tomato, tomato egg soup and others.


    After eating for almost a month, they were about to vomit.


    Even if they could give some of the tomatoes to their relatives and neighbours, these relatives and neighbours had also bought the potted top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    Therefore, they didn¡¯t need the additional gifts of tomatoes from Tingting and her family.


    As for the others, everyone was facing the same situation.


    On the e-commerce platform for the top-tier Tomato No. 1 potted plants, at least 50,000 potted plants were sold every day.


    In other words, at least every user who bought them recommended the plants to their relatives and friends.


    This included an internet celebrity family who found business opportunities in top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    Their grandmother specialized in selling vegetables in the market.


    If she sold vegetables every day, the profits would be around 200 yuan, and they had to rule out special circumstances.


    But now, their family bought 40 pots of top-tier Tomato No. 1. They could harvest 60 to 70 catties of tomatoes in a day.


    Then, they sold some of these ripe tomatoes in the market and were able to get a quick return on capital.


    Moreover, the profits were impressive.


    Tomato No. 1 had just entered the market and was not a household name to every family yet.


    Therefore, many small vendors saw a business opportunity and made some money from the sale of these tomatoes.


    However, what troubled them was that their homes were now filled with green vines.


    Those people who entered their homes would think that they had entered the forest.


    Of course, it was also because of the sale of the top-tier Tomato No. 1 that Cosmic Planting had received a lot of funds.


    At this moment, Ye Heng could be said to be a multimillionaire.


    The net income of their flagship store had already reached as much as 50 million yuan.


    However, Ye Heng was guarded against arrogance and impatience. Thinking of the company¡¯s long-term development, he once again spent 300,000 yuan to rent a certain office building and purchase a portion of the land for farming.


    As for the company¡¯s employees, there were more than 100 of them.


    The funds that they have obtained were not wasted, nor were they used for spending on food and drinks. Instead, they were saved up for the company¡¯s future development.


    Ye Heng now used the system to replicate the top-tier tomato seeds every day, at least 100,000 seeds were replicated.


    After that, he let the company¡¯s employees go to their planting fields to plant.


    Moreover, he controlled the sales of potted tomatoes in the flagship store.


    Ye Heng didn¡¯t want to take over the entire market right now, but he wanted to start small and go steady to plan on a long-term basis.


    So now, he only supplied at most 100,000 seeds per day.


    The new breed that he started to develop half a month later was the lettuce that he had already decided on.


    At present, he was still focusing on vegetables for the time being, and not on fruits and flowers.


    After all, most people living in the city had limited living spaces. When they had their gardens, they could consider growing flowers and fruits.


    Ye Heng had considered this very carefully.


    However, lettuce was the same as Chinese cabbage, they were a one-time off plant


    This meant that after he planted it and when it matured, he would pull it out and plant it again.


    The leaves of lettuce could not grow all the time, and when it matured completely, it would gradually age.


    Taking this into account, although Ye Heng could speed up its growth or let the lettuce grow in barren soil, there seemed to be something missing.


    In Ye Heng¡¯s opinion, he could consider giving lettuce the characteristics of a vine-type plant.


    Just like a pumpkin, its seedlings could grow again after being picked.


    However, when Ye Heng thought of this scene, he suddenly shivered.


    If lettuce were to grow on the vines, it would be somewhat strange.


    Suddenly, he thought of the silkworm tree that the baby silkworms needed.


    The leaves on this kind of tree could be picked continuously, and it would grow countless times every day.


    In other words, its leaf regeneration was very strong.


    Another important point was that this kind of plant grew very small and was not very tall.


    It was similar to an ordinary bush.


    ¡°I can extract this characteristic.¡±


    After thinking through it, Ye Heng placed the plants in the extraction furnace for the next transformation.


    ¡°Beep. Extracted the characteristic of leaf regeneration.¡±


    However, the plants he had produced this time did not have a grade.


    In the system¡¯s grading system, Ye Heng had yet to see the top-grade characteristics.


    However, when he saw the system¡¯s initial screen, the plants that could cover the entire planet probably had the top-grade characteristics of the plants.


    As for the two furnaces that could not be used, they might be the ones that could allow the high-quality characteristics to be upgraded.


    However, his willpower was probably not strong enough, so he couldn¡¯t use them at the moment.


    These two furnaces were still grey.


    After obtaining the high-quality characteristics that he needed, Ye Heng was instantly energized. He placed the lettuce seeds in the furnace provided by the system.


    ¡°Beep, lettuce seeds found.¡±


    ¡°Does the host want to fuse the relevant characteristics?¡±


    Then, the various plant characteristics that Ye Heng had extracted so far appeared. But there was only one that he could choose.


    Ye Heng chose the leaf growth ability.


    Then, after the furnace cover had been closed for some time, the system notification said that the fusion had been completed successfully.


    ¡°Super lettuce.¡±


    But the following remarks still did not have a level.


    ¡°Beep. Congratulations, host. The leaf regeneration characteristic has been successfully fused. The lettuce has the high-quality characteristic of rapid growth, as well as the high-quality characteristics of anti-infertile and shade-loving.¡±


    ¡°You have successfully obtained a grade 1 vegetable, the super lettuce seed.¡±


    After hearing the familiar electronic sound of the system, Ye Heng looked over in shock.


    He did not expect that this lettuce seed had five characteristics.


    More importantly, unlike the tomatoes from before, the lettuce that was going to be released this time was classified as grade 1.


    In other words, compared to the top-tier Tomato No. 1 that was developed previously, this super lettuce was even more powerful.


    The most crucial point was this super lettuce only takes half a month to ripen..

 Chapter 13

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Fused with the characteristic of rapid growth, this lettuce would grow leaves again after the outer leaves were removed.


    Unless a year of growth completely depleted this trait.


    However, regarding the specific high-quality characteristics of this lettuce, it would have to wait until it matured.


    Only then could it be observed.


    Ye Heng calmly placed the seeds he had in the replication furnace to replicate.


    After replicating 100,000 seeds, he planted them in the system¡¯s furnace.


    If he planted them in the system¡¯s furnace, what would have taken a month to grow could now be shortened to a day and a half.


    This way, after a day and a half, the lettuce leaves could be picked and tasted.


    In a day, the lettuce seeds in the system¡¯s furnace had already sprouted.


    Not to mention, it had already reached the height of a human¡¯s calf.


    Ye Heng provided instructions for the system¡¯s furnace to simulate the environment in the house and the balcony.


    Some people who were familiar with the mulberry could see that this super lettuce looked very much like a mulberry.


    Only one day had passed, and this super lettuce had already grown to the height of a child¡¯s leg.


    The leaves that grew out of it were not mulberry leaves.


    They were ripe, succulent and tender lettuce leaves.


    He plucked a few lettuce leaves in one go, and when he touched them, they felt the same as normal lettuce.


    But when he tasted a super lettuce leaf, he felt that it was extremely fragrant and crisp. The plant juice contained within it was refreshing.


    He had plucked away a super lettuce leaf and after two hours, it started growing again.


    Of course, the plants that were in the system space grew ten times faster than the outside world.


    In other words, under normal time conditions, another leaf could grow within a day.


    Graded super lettuce seeds were much more delicious than ordinary lettuce.


    ¡°Has Boss Ye developed the new product already?¡±


    Zhao Yao, who suddenly walked in, saw Ye Heng eating raw vegetables.


    ¡°Not bad, Zhao Yao, you¡¯re here too. Just in time to check out the taste and see whether it¡¯s delicious.¡±


    Ye Heng turned around and transferred the lettuce pot out of the space.


    ¡°Ye Heng, wait, this is super lettuce.¡±


    When she saw that the lettuce looked like the mulberry tree, Zhao Yao was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect that there would be lettuce growing on the tree.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a new product that our company has just developed. Currently, it¡¯s temporarily named super lettuce,¡± Ye Heng nodded and smiled.


    ¡°Let me have a taste.¡±


    ¡°Wow, why is it so delicious? The fragrance assails my nose. It¡¯s a completely natural, pollution-free green vegetable!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not bad. If it¡¯s used in vegetable salads, it would be great. Many girls would be willing to buy it.¡±


    Zhao Yao, who had just eaten a mouthful of super lettuce, was shocked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Look at these super lettuce leaves. After they are picked, they only need one day to grow again. If you grow super lettuce, you can pick at least eight to ten leaves a day. It¡¯s about one to two catties.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yao, what do you think now? When I promote it in the market, what price would be appropriate?¡± Ye Heng asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s very powerful.¡±


    After Zhao Yao heard this, she looked at Ye Heng with admiration.


    She looked at the super lettuce and couldn¡¯t wait to take it home to raise.


    It was so convenient to plant, and the taste was very good. Not to mention, it was extremely convenient to pick.


    This super lettuce looked like a mulberry.


    Not only that, but it also took up space.


    However, for people like Zhao Yao who had always paid attention to indoor and outdoor greening, she didn¡¯t think it was a problem at all.


    ¡°If you can really provide so much lettuce in a day, and you can steadily provide it for an entire year, I think such a vegetable can be sold for 500 yuan each,¡± Zhao Yao said with a smile.


    ¡°For the average residents, this price is still a little expensive.¡±


    ¡°But the product we developed is to benefit the Chinese people, so we don¡¯t need to set the price too high.¡±


    ¡°How about this? We¡¯ll set the price at 100 yuan for now. It¡¯ll be slightly more expensive than the tomatoes.¡±


    ¡°You have to know that we still have to develop new products in the future. Now that the price has increased, it won¡¯t be easy to promote subsequent products in the future,¡± Ye Heng said.


    This super lettuce was a graded seed. In addition, its taste was much more delicious than the top-tier Tomato No. 1 that had been developed previously.


    Not to mention its market position, it also met the needs of the city ladies for weight loss and had enough nutritional value. Therefore, if the price was set to 100 yuan, it was not that expensive.


    ¡°Okay, are we going to put this product on our online store via the e-commerce platform now?¡± Zhao Yao asked with some doubt.


    As early as half a month ago, Zhao Yao had left her city and returned to be Ye Heng¡¯s assistant.


    No matter what her parents said, they could not stop her. She was determined to leave.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Right now, we still need to send some pictures to the public platforms to attract the traffic flow. Also, don¡¯t forget to find your best friend and do some promotions in her live broadcast room. It¡¯s time to give her the advertising fee for this month.¡±


    ¡°After all, we need to warm up in the early stages so that we can prepare the goods later,¡± Ye Heng said with a smile.


    The seeds that he put in the space would need at least a few days to germinate and grow.


    It was also a good time to give it some time.


    ¡°Ye Heng, you¡¯re right. I think that with these two new products, our company¡¯s trading volume can double, or even reach hundreds of millions.¡±


    Zhao Yao¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief.


    She was very clear that Ye Heng¡¯s company had only just started, yet he was already able to make so much profit from its development.


    How powerful would Ye Heng¡¯s company be in the future, it was something that she did not dare to imagine.


    There were nearly eight billion people in the world. These two ordinary plants could be sold for such a powerful price in China.


    If they were marketed to the world, they would be like a treasure trove.


    Even if they excluded the labour costs, planting costs, packaging costs and logistics costs, they would still get back half of their profits.


    In other words, if they sold for 100 yuan, they could earn at least 50 yuan.


    With that, their profits would be in the tens of billions.


    But they also need to be careful that it may affect some specialized vegetable traders.


    Although they may not go bankrupt, they can only supply vegetables to people in other countries..

    If they were clever enough, they would choose to immediately cultivate the plants from the Cosmic Planting shop to reap the highest benefits in the shortest amount of time.


    After all, the newly released super lettuce didn¡¯t need to be planted indoors completely. It could be successfully planted outdoors as well.


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright, everyone in the broadcast room, brothers and sisters, quickly come and take a look. What am I holding in my hand?¡±


    In Fast Fish¡¯s live broadcast room, Tingting was holding the lettuce in her hand, showing off as she looked at the audience in the broadcast room.


    This lettuce was sent from her good friend Zhao Yao.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be top-tier Tomato No. 1, why does it look like a mulberry?¡±


    The semi-professional asked.


    ¡°F*ck, could it be that this is the second type of plant that the Cosmic Planting flagship store is planning to develop?¡± One of the netizens was shocked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the new product that the Cosmic Planting store is about to release,¡± Tingting said excitedly.


    ¡°Awesome, who would have thought that our beautiful streamer would be switching roles from a gaming streamer to something related to planting.¡±


    ¡°Right, because I see that she¡¯s about to open up the planting genre, and she¡¯s going to become the number one person in this field, how exciting.¡±


    One of the netizens sent a rocket.


    ¡°Is it the latest product? I am suddenly drooling. I don¡¯t know what kind of plant it is,¡± said Meow Meow Candy.


    ¡°It would be good if it was a fruit. As someone who loves eating fruit, I will buy forty to fifty of them, and eat my fill at home.¡±


    ¡°Brothers, wait a minute. Don¡¯t just look at its appearance.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Last time, I thought it was some kind of vine. I didn¡¯t expect it to be a tomato.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯ve been eating tomatoes for more than a month, we¡¯re about to throw up. Luckily, there¡¯s a new product development, I must be the first to buy it.¡±


    ¡°Agreed.¡±


    A group of netizens happily spoke in the broadcast room.


    In just a short while, Tingting¡¯s number of fans in the broadcast room was close to one million.


    Not only the original fans, but many people who were concerned about Cosmic Planting¡¯s products also entered the broadcast room, guessing what kind of plant it was this time.


    They also wanted to see what the latest plant was.


    ¡°Seeing that everyone is so excited, please guess what kind of plant it is. If you can guess correctly, I will personally give him 10,000 red packets from the flagship store.¡±


    Seeing the number of fans in her live broadcast room continue to increase, Tingting was extremely happy.


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s an apple.¡±


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s a cucumber.¡±


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a watermelon.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°The real answer will be revealed in a week. Everyone must follow my live broadcast. See you then,¡± Tingting said playfully.


    This time, the super lettuce only need half a month to grow.


    In addition, it was placed in Ye Heng¡¯s system space to accelerate the ripening.


    If it was sold, the buyer only needed to wait less than a week to harvest the ripe lettuce fruit.


    All the netizens in the live broadcast room were also paying attention to the super lettuce placed on the table.


    For this live broadcast, Tingting especially changed to a high-definition camera.


    On the seventh day of the week, all the netizens saw this tree-like plant with leaves growing on it. The shape of the leaves shocked them.


    ¡°Oh my god, isn¡¯t that lettuce?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible? How can lettuce grow on a tree?¡± Meow Meow Candy was stunned.


    All the audience were dumbfounded.


    Almost no one could guess that such a plant was lettuce.


    After all, who would have thought that lettuce, a food that grew in the soil, would grow on a tree!


    ¡°Yes, its name is super lettuce. Also, the instructions I received here tell me that in half a month, it will reach maturity and you will be able to taste it.¡± Ting Ting explained.


    ¡°Why is the Cosmic Planting store so powerful? However, I believe that they have a professional research team.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, this time we can have a big feast.¡±


    ¡°Since there are netizens in the broadcast room who want to eat it, I will taste it first.¡±


    Tingting had been looking at the emerald green lettuce and swallowed her saliva.


    ¡°Wait host, why are you so cruel? Are you going to make us even more hungry?¡± The semi-professional was shocked.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal, I¡¯m just sprinkling water. Although it¡¯s said to be half a month, it¡¯s only because it takes half a month for the leaves to fully open.¡±


    ¡°But now you can taste the lettuce directly.¡±


    ¡°You can take a look. These leaves are very tender. I can smell its fragrance.¡±


    Tingting picked a super lettuce leaf and put it in her mouth under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes.


    With a crisp sound, the fresh smell of vegetables completely bloomed in her mouth.


    ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s so delicious! It¡¯s so much better than the lettuce I bought in the market. Oh my, I want to use salad dressing to make lettuce salad.¡±


    ¡°No, even if I go to the hot pot restaurant, I have to wash it clean and bring it over to eat directly.¡±


    In less than a second, Tingting finished the entire piece of lettuce.


    Then, she looked at the remaining leaves, as if she was about to drool.


    ¡°Is it delicious?¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s delicious. After all, didn¡¯t everyone eat the top-tier Tomato No. 1 that was previously planted? This new product is probably much better than tomatoes.¡±


    ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s so clean. Look at the streamer, don¡¯t let her continue to ruin the lettuce, it¡¯s still a baby.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, strongly denouncing the streamer¡¯s behaviour. Let¡¯s at least take a look at the mature lettuce.¡±


    In the live broadcast room, everyone started to discuss.


    At this time, Cosmic Planting flagship store was getting more attention. Its number of fans was also increasing.


    Even though this super lettuce was bigger than ordinary potted plants, it took up some of the indoor space.


    However, for this size, it could be placed in the living room for most people.


    Not only was it useful, but it also looked very beautiful. Compared to other potted plants, it looked much better.


    Not to mention, it looked very delicious.


    These vegetables were more durable than tomatoes. If the two vegetables were put together, they would be the best combination.


    ¡°I, I regret it now, I bought so many potted tomatoes before, my house doesn¡¯t have much space left,¡± One of the netizens was a little depressed.


    ¡°I¡¯m the same as you, I regret it now. Looks like I have to buy less, or else when the Cosmic Planting flagship store comes out with a new product, I won¡¯t have room to put it in my house.¡± Meow Meow Candy said.


    ¡°Agreed, I strongly hope that they can continue to release new products, that way I¡¯ll have a good time,¡± The semi-professional said..

 Chapter 15

    All the viewers in the live broadcast room were looking forward to the new product that would be released by the Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    A few days later, Tingting¡¯s super lettuce finally matured completely.


    The tree was as tall as a child¡¯s leg, its branches were sturdy and the leaves were luxuriant.


    However, what was hanging on it wasn¡¯t mulberry leaves, but lettuce leaves.


    Even though Tingting had already ¡°destroyed¡± a few leaves, there were still new leaves growing out.


    Of course, the leaves that were ¡°destroyed¡± by Tingting had all entered her stomach.


    ¡°Alright, not bad. I can finally start picking. I must eat until I¡¯m full today.¡±


    ¡°The salad dressing is ready too. I¡¯ll make a vegetable salad today.¡±


    Tingting patted her stomach and quickly removed all ten super lettuce leaves. Of course, there were still 30 tender sprouts left on the tree.


    These lettuces added up to more than a catty and Tingting used all of them to make her vegetable salad.


    Thus, the live broadcast room suddenly became a gourmet live broadcast room.


    For the remaining live broadcast, the audience were all watching her eat her fill.


    ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. It¡¯s too delicious. It¡¯s crisp fragrant and pleasant to taste. I feel like eating them again.¡±


    Tingting exclaimed loudly.


    Compared to tomatoes, she preferred eating super lettuce.


    She couldn¡¯t help it. These vegetables were so delicious that she could eat them for an entire year.


    After all, green vegetables were essential to every family¡¯s dining table.


    ¡°Oh my god! Let me ask you, is this a crossover live broadcast?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, from gaming to planting, and then to gourmet.¡±


    ¡°I strongly condemn Tingting¡¯s behaviour. It makes me hungry.¡±


    ¡°When will the link be up? Streamer, hurry up and ask. I¡¯m just waiting for him to start selling.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I also left a space in my room for the plant.¡±


    The audience in the live broadcast room looked at each other in consternation.


    Not long after, the audience in the live broadcast room also discovered a problem.


    They didn¡¯t expect the super lettuce that Tingting had just finished eating to grow back its leaves within a short period.


    After a day, the super lettuce that had been picked was once again ¡°destroyed¡± by Tingting.


    The audience who saw this scene was a little speechless. But they ended up drooling even more. What was going on?


    This super lettuce wasn¡¯t like ordinary lettuce. It needed enough planting space to satisfy the needs of a family of three for half a year.


    After all, lettuce was the same as Chinese cabbage. It needed to be pulled out completely and planted again.


    In other words, they did not have the capacity for sustainable development.


    This type of super lettuce could grow continuously just like the mulberry.


    For a family of three, planting two would be enough.


    However, there was a problem, which was the difference in temperature between the North and the South.


    Therefore, to ensure the survival of this super lettuce, the people who planted it in the North had to ensure the heating in their homes.


    ¡°Okay, brothers, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°After midnight, the flagship store will sell the super lettuce.¡±


    ¡°There is also good news for everyone. On the first day, the store prepared 300,000 lettuce seeds for sale.¡±


    ¡°If you need them, please buy them as soon as possible,¡± Tingting said with a smile.


    ¡°What? Why are there so few?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, there aren¡¯t as many seeds as compared to the number of fans of the shop,¡± the semi-professional said.


    ¡°I still want to give them to my Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Grandma and Grandpa.¡±


    ¡°The person above, now that I see you, I may not be able to meet this condition.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we do point-of-sale procurement?¡±


    ¡°The person above, don¡¯t worry, I can use the Python to buy it for you.¡±


    ¡°Good heavens, you¡¯re violating the rules.¡±


    The live broadcast room became lively again for some time.


    The stock offered this time was already much more than that of ordinary shops.


    However, for these fans, it was still far from enough.


    Of course, the sales couldn¡¯t reach millions or tens of millions in just a few days. If that was the case, it would have to wait until after they had a global market.


    Therefore, the 300,000 stock offered now was enough.


    However, the first few days of buying would be very hot and tense. It was almost the same situation as that of those mobile phones and tablets that were waiting to be snatched.


    When they started to sell, even the web page might be hanged.


    As for those who needed to buy, they had to wait for them in advance. Otherwise, they might not be able to buy them when they started to sell.


    After Plum Blossom left the live broadcast room, she immediately went online into the flagship store to wait.


    Fortunately, she didn¡¯t need to go out for her work, nor did she need to think about staying up late.


    So, she was fully focused on the computer and was ready to place an order.


    On the front page of the Cosmic Planting flagship store, when it reached zero, everyone could see that the store was ready to sell its products.


    However, some people were shocked when they saw that it was 100 yuan per plant.


    However, there was a precedent for top-tier tomatoes. Hence, when they placed an order and paid for it, they were extremely fast and didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    Some scalpers were surprised to find that they could not resell this time at all.


    Perhaps it was to guard against them, this shop introduced a limit of two tomatoes.


    Even if it was the popular tomato, Ye Heng did not let go of the restrictions.


    If there were middlemen and some scalpers who resold it, it would be a loss of interest for him.


    Even though there were restrictions on the purchase of the product in the early stages, it would not affect their interests in the future. It would also ensure that more people would be able to obtain such a product.


    ¡°F*ck, it can¡¯t be. This app has broken down.¡±


    ¡°Did theirs crash?¡±


    After a wave of shocked reactions from the people, Plum Blossom, who had waited for almost fifteen minutes, finally succeeded in placing her order and paid for two lettuce seeds.


    When she saw the page that showed that the payment was successful, Plum Blossom smiled and immediately sent it to her WeChat Moment.


    Soon, countless red dots appeared on her WeChat Moment, and all kinds of comments and likes appeared.


    ¡°Damn, your hand speed is really fast. I¡¯ve been waiting for so long, but I still can¡¯t get it.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I can¡¯t log in after 0.¡±


    ¡°There are too many people. It feels like a zero-dollar purchase.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. In just a few minutes, the 300,000 seeds have all been sold out.¡±


    ¡°Did any good brothers buy super lettuce? I¡¯m not fast enough. I want one too. Of course, I can give myself to you.¡±


    ¡°Pfft, I won¡¯t sell it. Someone asked me to sell it to him at double the price. I didn¡¯t do it.¡±


    Although it wasn¡¯t a holiday, the e-commerce platform was paralyzed for a while because a shop was about to release its new product.


    During this period, Ye Heng¡¯s Cosmic Planting flagship store had already become the most popular shop on the e-commerce platform.


    The top-tier Tomato No. 1 was also the most popular product..

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Even some virtual coupons couldn¡¯t sell so well.


    Moreover, Ye Heng had to pay a high rental fee to set up an online shop here. He even had to give the e-commerce platform a commission for every product he sold.


    To put it bluntly, this e-commerce platform was similar to his previous landlords.


    Therefore, with Ye Heng¡¯s current ability, he could completely start his own official website to sell.


    However, it was not to the point of falling out with the e-commerce platform. Even if Ye Heng really opened an official website to sell his own products, he would still keep his flagship store in this area of the e-commerce platform.


    However, the sales this time were so popular that even the servers on the e-commerce platform were somewhat exploding.


    However, after three days, the 300,000 super lettuce seeds arrived in the hands of the buyers.


    Plum Blossom was very lucky. She was the first batch of customers to receive it.


    As soon as she received it, she anxiously planted the super lettuce on the balcony.


    As for the other plants and ornamental flowers, she transferred all of them to another place.


    In her eyes, these ordinary plants couldn¡¯t be compared to the super lettuce at all.


    The growth rate of this super lettuce was much faster than that of the top-tier Tomato No. 1. After all, it didn¡¯t need to blossom and bear fruit. It only needed to grow leaves.


    In just over a week, she had successfully eaten the super lettuce that she had grown herself.


    She was also very happy to see the growth of this super lettuce. It was simply flourishing.


    Even though she had been following it in the live broadcast room for a long time, when she saw it with her own eyes, she was still extremely shocked.


    The name ¡°Cosmic Planting¡±, in her opinion, could be considered omnipotent.


    After picking the leaves, she immediately shared it with her friends in the WeChat Moment as well as the live broadcast room.


    However, as the smell of vegetables coming from this super lettuce became stronger and stronger, she couldn¡¯t help but stuff it into her mouth.


    ¡°Wow, it¡¯s so delicious. It¡¯s not bitter at all. Instead, it¡¯s crispy and juicy.¡± Plum Blossom looked shocked.


    As a model in the cosplay industry, she had always been very concerned about her weight.


    In addition, she was also a girl. Because she loved beauty and needed to lose weight, she couldn¡¯t eat too much meat and foods with too much carbohydrates.


    Therefore, in addition to regular exercise, she mainly relied on diet to maintain her figure. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have those long legs.


    However, after tasting this super lettuce, she realized that the vegetables she had eaten before and this super lettuce were completely different. They couldn¡¯t be compared.


    ¡°No wonder one vegetable costs 100 yuan. This isn¡¯t robbery. This is a giveaway!¡±


    ¡°The tomatoes from before can¡¯t be compared to this. After all, its taste is too good. It can even defeat all the lettuce in the market.¡±


    Plum Blossom was even moved to tears by the lettuce.


    After all, this was a delicious vegetable. She could eat it as she pleased, and she didn¡¯t have to worry about the fat on her stomach. Not only could she eat her fill, but she could also maintain her figure.


    Plum Blossom was really touched and felt very happy. She picked all the lettuce and washed it with water, then put it in a pot of boiling water and scalded it.


    After that, she immediately took out a pot and put the prepared garlic on the leaves.


    Plum Blossom immediately finished a bowl of lettuce like a whirlwind.


    As for the mayonnaise and salad sauce at the side, she didn¡¯t touch it at all.


    This way, one could see the quality of this lettuce, it was too good.


    ¡°I only bought two this time, looks like I have to buy another one, I need two more to ensure I eat normally.¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m a bit unwilling, what if the Cosmic Planting flagship store releases a new product later, what should I do?¡±


    ¡°Will there be any room to place them at home?¡±


    Plum Blossom fell into deep thought.


    This was really a difficult question.


    Now there were tomatoes and lettuce at home.


    But she needed to leave some room at home for other vegetables.


    Who knew what new products this flagship store would release in the future?


    Plum Blossom felt that she didn¡¯t need to buy groceries or even go out in the future. She could directly cook and eat at home, and she could also save on the cost of food delivery.


    In this way, she could have a healthy and nutritious diet, and her parents didn¡¯t have to worry about her health anymore.


    When she thought of living a life of her own in her room in the future, Plum Blossom was extremely excited.


    Even if it meant turning her room into a plantation, it would be fine.


    ¡°How¡¯s the lettuce everyone got?¡±


    Plum Blossom suddenly heard a hurried voice.


    It was obvious that the live broadcast room had become lively again.


    Many people shared screenshots of the lettuce they grew.


    There were also some people who posted their own vegetables and videos of their growth online.


    In less than a month, almost all the social media platforms had been taken over by this super lettuce.


    ¡°I keep feeling that this super lettuce is completely different from the lettuce I¡¯ve eaten before.¡±


    ¡°I agree. I have this feeling too.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I ate it and didn¡¯t feel full at all. I also felt like I couldn¡¯t stop eating.¡±


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough. I feel that this is normal, everyone.¡±


    The semi-professional uploaded a picture.


    However, this picture really made people want to laugh.


    In the picture, one of the potted plants had only bare branches left.


    Not only were the mature leaves gone, even the tender buds had been plucked.


    In an instant, the entire live broadcast room was completely silent.


    After a minute, another 666 bullet screen appeared.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped, this brother was really too funny.


    Although everyone knew that lettuce was very delicious.


    But it wasn¡¯t to the extent of eating all of it, right?


    ¡°Brother, are you going to hug a tree trunk and eat it?¡±


    ¡°Right, according to what I know, this is also the second product launched by the flagship store.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, can the next product be able to surpass it?¡±


    As this question was thrown out, the broadcast room became lively again.


    ¡°No no no, I feel that Cosmic Planting can continuously release more and more new products.¡±


    ¡°Even if they don¡¯t, just these two products alone are enough to max out my good impression of them.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, and there are still so many vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, cabbage, water spinach, cucumber, winter melon and even more fruits and vegetables.¡±


    Hearing that, Plum Blossom was stunned, she suddenly had an idea.


    That was to work in this Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    After all, from her point of view, this Cosmic Planting flagship store that was still on the e-commerce platform would definitely bring more surprises to the people.


    Not to mention more new products..

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Zhao Yao was now appointed as the manager of Cosmic Planting.


    Therefore, before the super lettuce was put on sale this time, Ye Heng had handed everything over to Zhao Yao to manage.


    It was also because of this reason that Zhao Yao¡¯s family already had two super lettuce seeds.


    Of course, Zhao Yao had taken the initiative to send the seeds to her family.


    ¡°Old man, quickly come over and take a look at the newest product from Cosmic Planting. Their super lettuce tastes pretty good. Our daughter took the initiative to send us the seeds ten days ago, so we can finally taste it now.¡±


    Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said with a smile. Zhao Liping, who was also Zhao Yao¡¯s father, sat in the living room and glanced sideways.


    ¡°Humph, why are you still talking about her? She¡¯s the heir of our Zhao family group, but she went to chase after a kid. She didn¡¯t even need her group anymore. If I died, wouldn¡¯t my hard-earned family business be given to her, as well as that b*stard kid?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too much.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t say that. In my opinion, Ye Heng is quite a good person. He can start a company by himself,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said.


    ¡°Humph, what is this? Trying to come up with some agricultural products is simply fooling around. There is no prospect or future in this.¡±


    Zhao Liping said disdainfully. The Zhao family group under his name was a group that specialized in managing real estate. There were countless real estate and shopping malls under his name. After public listing, they were even worth hundreds of billions.


    It was also because of this that Zhao Liping did not think highly of Ye Heng.


    ¡°But it is said that this young man¡¯s products are selling well. I heard that he can earn hundreds of millions.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother opened her phone and said.


    ¡°Hehe. It¡¯s just a small company that sells agricultural products. Can it earn hundreds of millions in assets?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t our little girl ask me to help her get a loan or something? This kid¡¯s company went bankrupt once before.¡± Zhao Liping looked at the super lettuce in Zhao Yao¡¯s mother¡¯s hands.


    He almost laughed out loud.


    In his opinion, it was impossible to earn so much money just by selling something like lettuce.


    Moreover, there were issues related to labour costs and rental expenses. It wasn¡¯t certain how much money he could earn.


    ¡°Forget it, old man, you can just look here.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother opened her phone and found the Cosmic Planting flagship store. She let Zhao Liping take a look.


    Zhao Liping took a look. He was surprised to find that one of the two products in the store, the top-tier Tomato No. 1, had sold five million seeds.


    As for the other product, the super lettuce, it had sold two million seeds.


    One had to know that the latter had only been released for less than ten days. But now, it already had such a high sales volume.


    Zhao Liping was even more shocked when he saw the sale price. He had never thought that selling ordinary plant seedlings would be more expensive than the plants.


    No wonder it was so profitable. After all, if it was sold at such a price, the proceeds would indeed be considerable.


    After deducting some labour costs, they could still secure a lot of funds.


    ¡°Our daughter sent it over. Didn¡¯t you eat the tomatoes that were placed in the room? In my opinion, it¡¯s okay for him to sell them for 50 yuan. If he sells them for 500 yuan, I will still buy them,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said.


    ¡°The two tomatoes in Zhao Yao¡¯s room don¡¯t taste good either. In my opinion, it still depends on the planting method,¡± Zhao Liping said directly.


    ¡°She was just messing around and she took the initiative to fertilize them. You know that fertilized agricultural by-products can¡¯t be that delicious. This product is super lettuce and it was plucked from a tree in the living room. I¡¯ve never seen such amazing crops in my entire life.¡±


    Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said with a smile.


    ¡°But if it¡¯s just agricultural by-products, it¡¯s impossible to make it big and strong. In addition, his business has nothing to do with the real estate business of our Zhao family. He can¡¯t take over our group in the future.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s father stopped talking, he planned to take a bite of the lettuce.


    ¡°Wait, what¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t there any seasoning?¡± Looking at the lettuce on the plate without any seasoning, Zhao Liping was very surprised.


    ¡°I tried it. Adding seasoning will affect the taste of this lettuce,¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother said.


    ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s father looked at Zhao Yao¡¯s mother helplessly.


    However, he had been eating the dishes cooked by his wife for decades.


    Therefore, he didn¡¯t say much.


    When he picked up the super lettuce, Zhao Liping was surprised to find that this super lettuce didn¡¯t seem to have been prepared in any way but it exuded bursts of fragrance.


    Zhao Liping couldn¡¯t help but salivate. Then, he took a bite.


    There was a crisp sound.


    Then, he was immediately overwhelmed by this extremely crisp taste.


    After tasting the refreshing fragrance of the lettuce in his mouth, he suddenly felt that this super lettuce was more delicious than any other vegetables he had bought before.


    Not to mention, it didn¡¯t have any fertilizer, so it could maximize the taste of the vegetables themselves.


    ¡°Is this the lettuce picked from the tree in our living room?¡± Zhao Liping was extremely shocked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, so your impression of Ye Heng is much better now. This kid is really good, no wonder our daughter likes him.¡±


    ¡°This new product that he developed, as long as we have two of them, they will probably be enough for our family of three to eat.¡±


    ¡°After all, every time this leaf is picked, it will grow back the next day.¡± Zhao Yao¡¯s mother was getting happier and happier.


    The new product that Ye Heng developed this time could allow housewives, and even some elderly people and children to grow them indoors. The vegetables were completely natural and pollution-free and compared to the products sold outside, they were more reassuring.


    Not only Zhao Yao¡¯s mother, but even other housewives had a good impression of Ye Heng.


    After hearing these words, Zhao Liping didn¡¯t say anything and kept tasting the lettuce.


    Originally, he couldn¡¯t eat much because he was getting older.


    But on this day, he ate two big bowls of rice in a row with the lettuce.


    However, in Zhao Liping¡¯s heart, he was still sceptical about Ye Heng.


    He was the big boss of a top real estate group. He had seen a great deal of life and had a lot of experience in his field.


    And it was because of this that he was even more clear that none of the top 10,000 companies in the world was agricultural companies.


    So he¡¯ll have to think twice about letting his daughter stay in touch with Ye Heng..

 Chapter 18

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Families around China were incredibly happy the moment they harvested the super lettuce.


    Chinese people had a skill that they were proficient in, which was farming.


    Even though most of their families no longer had land, their talent for farming was still imprinted in their genes.


    In addition, the taste of this super lettuce was really good. Some people could not even go a day without eating it.


    Even in the capital of China, many people in the top research centres were studying the two products that Ye Heng had developed.


    Although Ye Heng¡¯s Cosmic Planting was not known to people around the world, since the emergence of these two products, many researchers had paid close attention to it.


    When they found that the characteristics of these two products were on the same level as the hybrid rice that Grandfather Yuan Longping developed, they were even more shocked.


    After continuous research and analysis, they originally wanted to study the high-quality characteristics of the two products and develop them into other vegetables. However, they unexpectedly found that there was no genetic modification in them. On the contrary, there was only the gene of the plant itself.


    It was also at this time that Professor Li Jing, who was at Capital University, finally found all the basic information about Ye Heng.


    He had already purchased a plane ticket and was ready to go to Ye Heng¡¯s place at any time.


    ¡°Kong Wei, why is it you? Why are you here?¡±


    Li Jing looked at his graduate student curiously.


    His student suddenly came to his home and his name was Kong Wei.


    ¡°Teacher, I have purposely come to look for you. This is regarding the school exchange program. Just a few days ago, the students from the renowned Agricultural University in Japan came.¡±


    He was also considered an exchange student.


    The exchange research conducted by different universities in different countries could allow these students and teachers to gain some insights and knowledge.


    In addition, they could also learn about the progress of the country¡¯s professional development. They could effectively discover the professional gaps between the two countries and other issues.


    Just three days ago, the delegation from Japan had arrived at Capital University.


    The purpose of their visit this time was to exchange views on agricultural development.


    ¡°Teacher, you are not aware of this, right? Their Agricultural University has prepared a very unique gift for our Agricultural University. Among them is a watermelon that can be grown as a potted plant.¡±


    ¡°According to their description, this watermelon is their latest genetically modified product.¡±


    Kong Wei said with some surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a genetically modified product. Is there a need to show off?¡± Li Jing¡¯s expression was extremely contemptuous.


    ¡°Teacher, you don¡¯t even know this. Right now, many teachers in our school are studying the gifts they have sent over. We discovered that this product¡¯s genetically modified technology is very mature.¡±


    ¡°If they didn¡¯t say it, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to discover that this is the latest genetically modified product.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why we feel that they¡¯re not here for academic exchange. Instead, they¡¯re here to show off their technology.¡±


    ¡°After all, this means that they can overcome the drawbacks of genetic modification faster. It also proves that their current level of agricultural development has reached a very high level.¡±


    Kong Wei said with some worry.


    Most people didn¡¯t know much about genetically modified products.


    But people who focused on academic research knew very well that such products transferred some special genes into special organisms through genetic engineering technology.


    And they need to effectively display the corresponding characteristics.


    This kind of genetically modified food was divided into three categories, namely animal type, plant type and microbial type.


    ¡°Our country¡¯s main research and development of genetically modified characteristics in plants is mainly resistance to pests.¡±


    ¡°But this time around, the watermelon they brought with them has an additional characteristic, which is prolificacy.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Wei immediately prepared a picture and showed it to Professor Li Jing.


    They could easily see in the picture a basin with a tall wooden stick stuck in the middle. There was a vine growing inside, and there were three to four fist-sized watermelons on the top.


    Why did the Japanese bring watermelons this time?


    After all, watermelons were very expensive in Japan.


    Japan itself was an island country, so the prices of vegetables and fruits were very high.


    Especially the price of watermelons, which was comparable to the price of durians in China.


    China had a large population, close to 1.4 billion people.


    In this way, it was necessary to ensure that the people got food to eat.


    That was why Professor Yuan Longping and all his management team were researching ways to improve the production of rice.


    ¡°We have done many analyses in the laboratory, but we have not found any problems.¡±


    ¡°Some students took the initiative to taste this genetically modified watermelon, but they found that it tasted very good.¡±


    ¡°It seems that Japan is well-prepared this time,¡± Professor Li Jing said slowly.


    ¡°Teacher, what should we do then? After all, this concerns the reputation of our school and the country.¡± Kong Wei¡¯s expression turned a little unpleasant.


    ¡°Oh, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll just go with you to take a look. If there¡¯s no other way, we will return them with a big gift,¡± Professor Li Jing said slowly.


    ¡°Sure, then I¡¯ll do as you say, teacher. This group of trash from Japan is disgusting. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that our current industrial level and area of agriculture were inferior to them, they wouldn¡¯t be flaunting their prowess in front of us.¡±


    Kong Wei was a patriotic youth.


    However, he was also clear that only a few of the current genetically modified products in China could reach maturity.


    In terms of watermelons, there was indeed a gap between China and Japan.


    It seemed that Japan could deal with the drawbacks of genetically modified food.


    This way, not only would they take care of their people, but it would also be beneficial to China and the entire world.


    With the continuous upgrading of technology, the production of grain, vegetables and fruits would continue to increase.


    China would no longer have to be stuck in the food business.


    After all, China¡¯s population was simply too large.


    Up until now, they had not been able to be completely self-sufficient.


    However, they did not want to be stumbled by their nemesis country because of their outdated genetically modified technology.


    The two of them drove to the school, parked the car and entered the research laboratory that specialized in plants.


    Of course, Professor Li Jing also brought the gift that he had prepared for Japan.


    They had just walked into the research laboratory when they heard sounds of an argument.


    ¡°Humph, these Japanese are really too arrogant,¡± Kong Wei spat.


    He was Chinese, so even though he admired the technology of Japan, he still despised them..

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Just as they were about to enter the research laboratory, to their surprise, they found dozens of students standing in front of the laboratory and discussing some issues with ugly expressions.


    ¡°Wait, what¡¯s going on? Where are the students from Japan?¡± Kong Wei came up to them and asked the students around him.


    ¡°These guys from Japan are all staying in the laboratory.¡±


    A chubby boy said.


    ¡°What are they doing in there?¡± Professor Li Jing asked very steadily.


    ¡°They want our school to give them gifts in return.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the teacher can only give them the corn that we are currently working on,¡± The chubby boy said with a helpless look.


    ¡°This is simply nonsense,¡± Kong Wei was also helpless.


    After all, the corn in this laboratory was not a product that they developed on their own.


    They had to use references from the technology of other countries. Even if they managed to come up with the anti-pest component, however, it could not be compared with the products brought by Japan.


    Perhaps this corn could be used as feed for some chickens and ducks.


    However, the watermelon brought by Japan was something that people could eat. In this way, there was no way to compare the two.


    Li Jing comforted Kong Wei and immediately opened the door to the research laboratory.


    The research laboratory occupied a large area and was equipped with powerful equipment.


    After all, in the whole of China, this Agricultural University in the capital could be considered one of the top universities.


    As soon as they walked in, they saw two groups of people standing opposite each other in the laboratory. The teachers and students from Japan all looked disdainful.


    On the other hand, the Chinese students and teachers who stayed in the laboratory looked angry but didn¡¯t dare to say anything.


    There was nothing they could do.


    After all, Japan was at the top of the world in terms of the industrial level.


    From the looks of it, even in terms of agricultural technology, they were much better than China.


    Although their country was very small, they had supported more than 100 million people.


    ¡°Teacher Wang, what¡¯s the situation?¡± Professor Li Jing asked.


    ¡°Professor Li, they said that we have let the school and China down, and we should be ashamed of ourselves,¡± Teacher Wang hung his head in shame.


    Li Jing looked at this group of people from Japan. He said with a cold expression, ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys a little too much?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s clear that the Agricultural University in the capital of China has no sincerity at all. They only know how to accept gifts, but they aren¡¯t even willing to return us gifts of equal value.¡±


    ¡°Do you think that you can humiliate us like this?¡± Professor Yamamoto, a teacher from Japan, looked at the corn in front of him with a very aloof expression.


    After all, this type of genetically modified corn was indeed not as good as their genetically modified watermelon.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry that we did not reciprocate your good intentions well enough,¡± Teacher Wang said with some guilt.


    ¡°Hehe. Professor Yamamoto, we¡¯re here to have a friendly academic exchange. Even if you know very well that the Agricultural University in the capital of China is trash, you can¡¯t just directly make them lose face, right?¡±


    ¡°Professor, I didn¡¯t expect that China is also very ordinary. Before we came, you said that they were very good, but now it seems that they¡¯re complete trash.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I agree with that. Why don¡¯t we hurry back? After all, even if we stay here, we won¡¯t be able to learn real knowledge. Instead, we¡¯ll waste our precious time here.¡±


    The people from the Agricultural University of Japan, who were standing behind Professor Yamamoto, started to belittle China with unkind words and vulgarities.


    Li Jing, who had some knowledge of the Japanese language, looked cold and indifferent when he heard these words.


    Even though he was very angry, he had to admit that he couldn¡¯t hold his ground on this matter.


    It was their fault for not being as skilled as these people.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, please wait for a while. We¡¯ve given you the wrong gift. I¡¯ve prepared one this time. I¡¯ll bring it to you later.¡±


    Li Jing spoke in the standard Japanese accent. His words were calm and collected.


    ¡°Oh, if that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t you show it to us?¡± Professor Yamamoto smiled happily, but his eyes were distant and cold.


    ¡°Sure. Kong Wei, open the package that I brought over and show it to them now,¡± Li Jing said calmly.


    ¡°Okay, teacher.¡± Kong Wei, who was originally a little nervous, calmed down when he saw his teacher¡¯s calm expression.


    He opened the package and found that there was a potted plant inside.


    ¡°Oh, is this the gift that you guys are going to give us in return? There¡¯s nothing special about it. Are you guys going to say that this is a genetically modified plant? Or is this just an ordinary potted plant that will make us laugh?¡±


    Professor Yamamoto immediately laughed out loud when he saw the plant that was not even as tall as a person¡¯s calf.


    As people who were into academic research, they were very clear that these genetically modified technologies were generally used in food.


    However, this was the first time they had seen it used on ordinary plants.


    Therefore, the people from Japan let out a wave of contemptuous laughter.


    ¡°You are truly ignorant to the extreme. If you are not clear about this, let me show you this miracle. Kong Wei, go to the laboratory now and bring over No. 6 research nutrient solution.¡±


    Li Jing¡¯s expression was cold as he turned around and instructed Kong Wei.


    The No. 6 research nutrient solution was developed by the Capital Agricultural University. It could speed up the growth of plants.


    Even if the price was high, it would take a long time.


    However, compared to ordinary plant fertilizers, this solution was more beneficial to the absorption of plants.


    Although the previous five solutions all had related effects.


    But the most successful one was still the No. 6 research nutrient solution.


    The effect of the No. 6 was ten times more effective than ordinary fertilizers.


    However, this was not omnipotent.


    Although the plants could grow quickly after using this solution, these plants could not live for long.


    Not long after, Kong Wei took out a solution from the laboratory.


    This was the No. 6 nutrient solution that Professor Li Jing was talking about.


    Professor Li Jing¡¯s objective was gradually revealed before this group of students from China¡¯s Agricultural University.


    He took the nutrient solution from Kong Wei¡¯s hand. After a series of matching and proportioning, he prepared a portion for the super lettuce.


    Then, he directly sprinkled the prepared nutrient solution on this potted plant.


    The group of teachers and students from Japan laughed out loud, their expressions were contemptuous.


    At first, they looked attentively, thinking that this old man would display to them some real skills.


    They didn¡¯t expect it to be a trick..

 Chapter 20 - Using Super Lettuce to Eat Humble Pie

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    However, because of this, they let out a sigh of relief.


    Naturally, they couldn¡¯t understand it. After all, what Professor Li Jing was about to show them was the super lettuce bought from the Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    As for now, Professor Li Jing wanted to use a brand new method to let this group of people from Japan understand that it wasn¡¯t necessary to invest in genetic modification technology for it to be called real plant modification.


    Even the current Agricultural University in the capital of China couldn¡¯t be compared to Japan¡¯s Agricultural University.


    However, this didn¡¯t mean that their Chinese technology was inferior to these people.


    As the nutrient solution dripped into the potted plant, the soil that was stayed by the solution turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Then, under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, the plants that were originally only as tall as an adult¡¯s calf continued to grow, and the leaves on them slowly opened up.


    The people from Japan, who originally had a contemptuous look on their faces, were immediately dumbstruck. They kept wiping their eyes.


    In their eyes, this arbor was growing taller under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes.


    The corn next to it became a sharp contrast to this plant. Very quickly, it grew to about 80 cm.


    The leaves on it gradually unfurled from their curled appearance, as if they were jades.


    ¡°It¡¯s fake. It¡¯s fake.¡± Professor Yamamoto rushed over in shock.


    At this moment, it was as if his mind was completely blank.


    He couldn¡¯t even think.


    His two eyes were staring at the plant in front of him.


    There was nothing he could do. This situation had completely exceeded his expectations.


    ¡°Oh my god, this? How can this be lettuce? But this is an arbor!¡±


    ¡°This is not logical at all!¡±


    ¡°How could a plant grow to the height of a human leg in just four hours?¡±


    ¡°Am I seeing things?¡±


    All the students and teachers who came from Japan were dumbstruck and their mouths opened so widely that it was enough to fit an entire fist.


    However, it wasn¡¯t just the students and teachers from their country. Even the students from China¡¯s Agricultural University were staring in bewilderment. They were completely shocked by what they had seen.


    These students had a certain understanding of agriculture.


    Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they were unable to use the knowledge learnt from the textbooks or the content they learned in the laboratory to explain this strange phenomenon.


    Their only reaction was to instinctively think that what they saw was not real.


    Therefore, these students from the Agricultural University also knew about the Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    They said that they were just looking at the plants, but they didn¡¯t believe them.


    Therefore, they didn¡¯t buy them to test them.


    ¡°What kind of plant is this? Why is it completely different from the laws of nature? How could it grow so tall in such a short time?¡± Professor Yamamoto looked extremely shocked.


    He turned his head to look at Professor Li Jing.


    His eyes were filled with doubt.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s exactly what you have just seen with your own eyes.¡±


    ¡°This is the arbor super lettuce.¡± Li Jing picked a leaf from the potted plant.


    It was the leaf of the lettuce.


    Then, under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, he ate it all.


    At the same time, these teachers and students were shocked to discover that after a leaf was removed, a new sprout appeared on the top of the plant.


    Then, like a miracle, it started growing.


    This was the first time they were seeing lettuce growing from a tree instead of from the soil.


    Therefore, everyone was filled with disbelief.


    ¡°This is too amazing. Is this a plant that has been modified by genetic engineering?¡±


    A student from the Capital Agricultural University asked with a shocked expression.


    Logically speaking, genetic engineering could only ensure that some high-quality genes were fused into the crops.


    However, it was completely impossible to change the appearance of the crops themselves.


    Not to mention that the use of a nutrient agent could guarantee such rapid growth.


    ¡°What a shocking plant. I wonder where Professor Li Jing found it.¡±


    Kong Wei clenched his fists, his expression shocked.


    Even though the genetically modified watermelon was already pretty good as a product that Japan brought over this time, but before the super lettuce, there was no comparison at all. The two were simply worlds apart.


    ¡°Professor Yamamoto, what do you think after seeing the return gift from our Capital Agricultural University?¡± Professor Li Jing was extremely confident.


    However, there was a hint of playfulness in his words.


    The students and teachers from Japan were extremely embarrassed.


    Not only did they not dare to follow up on Professor Li Jing¡¯s words, but they also did not even dare to look at him.


    ¡°Very powerful technology. Now, we will apologize for the rude ridicule from before. Finally, please allow us to bring this gift you gave us back to our country. This can be considered as the best witness of the friendship between our two universities.¡±


    Professor Yamamoto¡¯s expression was shocked but he spoke firmly.


    The person who was the most shocked in the entire hall could be said to be Professor Yamamoto.


    He had studied botany for decades.


    He had a lot of academic knowledge, but he couldn¡¯t explain the plants in front of him.


    This was a breakthrough for any plant he knew, and it could even overturn some of his research.


    So he wanted to get this super lettuce, well, to completely understand its gene chain and find the mystery of its DNA.


    Their country itself had very few resources.


    They wanted to possess everything.


    After seeing the super lettuce, he was even more shocked. He couldn¡¯t wait to bring back this super lettuce.


    At the same time, he also hoped that after obtaining this super lettuce, he would receive an award from the country.


    ¡°Good. If It¡¯s a return gift, I can naturally give it to you. However, I also hope that our universities can have further exchanges and development in the future.¡±


    Professor Li Jing looked at Yamamoto with a serious expression. The latter appeared extremely humble on the surface, but in his heart, Li Jing was cursing Yamamoto to death.


    In less than a day, the group of people from Japan immediately brought this super lettuce back to their own country in an extremely sorry state.


    However, Ye Heng only found out two or three days later that the famous Professor Li Jing had used the super lettuce he had developed to ruthlessly make the people from Japan eat humble pie. It could be considered that he was trying to salvage the reputation of China.


    However, in his opinion, this was nothing.


    After all, they were all Chinese, and he naturally did not care so much about dealing with the despicable people of Japan.


    Not to mention that he greatly admired Professor Li Jing and his actions.


    The two of them eventually had a deeper conversation..

 Chapter 21 - Pest Problem

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°I say, how can you give such a high-end position to them directly? If they mastered the technology of this plant, it can be considered a breach of confidentiality.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention, this might help them develop the genetic technology. Who knows, it might help them break through their crisis,¡± Kong Wei said with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°Heh, don¡¯t worry. I spent a month, but I didn¡¯t get anything. This group of Japanese won¡¯t be able to figure out any technology from it,¡± Professor Li Jing said with a disdainful expression.


    Regardless of whether it was the top-tier Tomato No. 1 or this super lettuce, the genes contained within them were no different from the genes of plants like them.


    There were no genes from other plants.


    This top-tier Tomato No. 1 still had the genes of tomatoes.


    Professor Li Jing tried multiple hybridization tests but was unable to obtain any conclusive data for these plants.


    What was even more shocking to him was that for the top-tier Tomato No. 1, they couldn¡¯t use the seeds to breed the next generation. In other words, this Cosmic Planting flagship store had its exclusive seed cultivation technology.


    Not only that, this technology was more advanced than the whole of China, or perhaps the entire world, by hundreds of years.


    When Professor Li Jing thought of this, he immediately planned to take a plane to City C, and then head directly to the location of the Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    This time, Professor Li Jing¡¯s goal was to see the big boss of this flagship store.


    ¡°Teacher, but what kind of plant does it belong to?¡± Kong Wei asked curiously.


    ¡°This is a new product from China¡¯s newly established Cosmic Planting Company, it¡¯s called the super lettuce.¡±


    ¡°Other than that, they also released a product called top-tier Tomato No. 1, this agricultural by-product¡¯s effects are also extremely powerful.¡±


    ¡°Kong Wei, you can pay attention to them and take a look at the current research and product development of their new products.¡±


    Professor Li Jing¡¯s looked extremely emotional when he said this.


    ¡°Cosmic Planting? This name is quite profound.¡±


    Then, Kong Wei made up his mind that he will go and take a look at this flagship store later and also pay attention to the accounts of its various social platforms.


    If he could buy a few products, that would be the best.


    Seeing this group of Japanese returning to their own country in a sorry state, Kong Wei felt elated and was proud and satisfied. He was even more curious about the magical technology behind the Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    ¡­


    At this moment, Ye Heng encountered a big problem.


    Their company¡¯s precious top-tier Tomato No. 1 had been selling very well during this period and was able to generate a lot of revenue for them. But now they had expanded the scale of the planting, they were faced with countless problems.


    ¡°Ye Heng, currently in the newly opened cultivation greenhouse, more than half of the seedlings have already been affected by pests. Should we use insect repellent?¡± Zhao Yao looked extremely worried.


    After going through the transformation process, both the tomato seedlings and super lettuce seedlings were very good in texture and flavour.


    However, compared to normal plants, they tend to attract more pests.


    ¡°No, in Cosmic Planting, we do not use pesticides on any of our products,¡± Ye Heng said with grim determination.


    ¡°But Ye Heng, you should know very well that to get rid of these pests, we need to spray pesticide on them, or else there¡¯s no other way.¡±


    Zhao Yao said worriedly.


    But she was also very clear about the character of the boy she liked. Therefore, she didn¡¯t think that she could successfully convince Ye Heng.


    As she expected, Ye Heng opened his mouth and said, ¡°Let me think about it again. It¡¯s not a must to spray them with pesticide, right?¡±


    ¡°If we want to deal with pests, we can use other methods.¡±


    ¡°But now the plants in our company are gradually being destroyed by these pests. How are we going to deliver the goods to the customers?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. We can postpone the delivery for three days later.¡±


    ¡°Then if you let my company go bankrupt again, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore,¡± Zhao Yao said with a smile.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this problem.¡±


    Ye Heng now had the system. He couldn¡¯t be defeated by these pests.


    Nonetheless, it was a fact that he had lost some of his capital because of this.


    However, his current income was also very substantial, so it would not affect him too much.


    This incident had also enlightened him to enhance the characteristic of insect resistance when developing plants in the future.


    Currently, Ye Heng could only add a maximum of four characteristics to the plant.


    If he wanted to add another high-quality characteristic, then he would need to delete one of the characteristics.


    Otherwise, it would be a passive fusion failure.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late to add insect resistance now. We can look for alternatives,¡± Ye Heng said slowly.


    Generally speaking, these pests could be directly treated with pesticides.


    If pesticides were used, that would have a certain effect on the plant itself and even contaminate the plant.


    This would be irresponsible behaviour towards the consumers.


    There was another scenario, which was to rely on the biological chain.


    Just like magpies and frogs, they could also rely on beneficial insects.


    The last method was to rely on the resistance of the organism itself. Wait a minute, there seemed to be a solution to this.


    Ye Heng suddenly had an idea.


    ¡°If there is no way to make the plant protect itself, then I can directly use a decoy to lure out these pests and finally catch them all in one go. That will do the trick.¡±


    ¡°After all, there are some plants that specialize in eating pests.¡±


    That¡¯s right. Ye Heng was thinking about the pitcher plant at this moment.


    This type of pitcher plant could give off a scent that attracted insects.


    The insects that were attracted to it would then become its meal.


    This type of pitcher plant would have small white flowers that looked very attractive.


    However, it could capture countless insects silently.


    Not to mention, its front end had a unique insect-catching organ, which was 3 cm long.


    Its leaves had dark red digestive glands, as well as numerous thick cirrus, which could emit the sweet fragrance of flowers and attract the insects to hold its leaves.


    After that, it was equivalent to the insects entering a cage.


    The more the insects struggled, the more enzymes would be secreted from the leaves. Before long, the insects would be completely digested by the pitcher plant.


    However, the current pitcher plant was not very effective because it took a lot of time to digest and capture. This also reduced its efficiency.


    Therefore, Ye Heng planned to improve some of its characteristics.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I only need to plant about ten pitcher plants in the fields. That¡¯s enough to ensure that there are no pests after that.¡±


    Ye Heng smiled slightly as he thought about it.


    In this way, this could solve the difficult problem that he was currently facing..

 Chapter 22 - The Seeds of the Synthetic Insect Catcher Tree

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Zhao Yao, go to the flower market and buy some pitcher plants back.¡±


    Suddenly, Ye Heng realized that he had forgotten that Zhao Yao was not his assistant.


    On the contrary, she was now the general manager who was in charge of the entire company.


    ¡°It seems that this time, the company needs to expand again and recruit more employees.¡±


    Even though there were now around 600 employees in their Cosmic Planting flagship company, but the majority of these people were busy with the planting fields.


    Their main job every day was to be in charge of planting and maintaining the well-being of the plants.


    Some employees were specifically responsible for packing the goods and delivering them to the customers through express delivery.


    The people who worked in the office consisted of the finance staff, the front desk clerks and a certain number of customer service staff.


    There were also some logistics support staff.


    These logistics support staffs were specifically recruited by Ye Heng to carry out research development and maintain the existing official website.


    This time, Ye Heng had to trouble Zhao Neng with the recruitment of the technical staff by headhunting some of the high-end technical talents found in big cities.


    Together, this group of people could form an extremely powerful team.


    If everything went smoothly, they only needed to wait for a month before they could open their official website.


    After that, they could put all the products from the Cosmic Planting flagship store for sale on the official website.


    This way, they could propose a complete industrial chain.


    After thinking about what kind of employees they needed to recruit, Ye Heng immediately stopped making calls and contacted his current head of the Human Resource Department.


    He specifically told the latter to find an assistant for him.


    He will continue to develop the latest products for Cosmic Planting flagship store.


    This also meant that they had to increase enrollment.


    After all, the current number of farmlands couldn¡¯t guarantee the food supply for the entire population of China.


    It was only now that Ye Heng finally realized the limitations of the current market.


    Although his actions at the moment could be considered as helping the development of his hometown, however, due to the geographical location of his hometown, the speed of his company¡¯s development would remain stagnant.


    For example, the previous time he wanted to buy more farmland, but the local government raised the price a little higher.


    Not to mention, when they were in Xiangtan, the faces of these executives were loathsome.


    Ye Heng would not be willing to accept this.


    If he wanted to expand the scale of the plantation and continued to rent the farmland, he would probably have to pay a huge price.


    Even though this money was only a small fraction of Ye Heng¡¯s current assets.


    But he was not willing to give the money to those people just like that.


    These people were just trying to raise the price and their actions could also be considered extortion.


    ¡°Let¡¯s look at the mundane stuff later. Right now, the main thing is to find some pitcher plants that can be used.¡±


    As he had no assistant, for the time being, Ye Heng had to do things on his own.


    He drove the company car and went to several large local flower markets.


    The main purpose of his trip was to buy many plants that could catch insects as food.


    Ye Heng selected a few plants and ended up with a variety that looked pretty good and had an aesthetic feel.


    ¡°If I want to make this plant more attractive to insects, I have to ensure its attractiveness. In addition, I need to strengthen its digestive system.¡±


    ¡°This is the only way to ensure that it will have a higher efficiency of catching insects.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye Heng immediately began to prepare.


    ¡°Congratulations, host, we have found a pitcher plant. Would you like to proceed with the extraction of its characteristic?¡±


    A familiar electronic voice sounded and Ye Heng nodded.


    Finally, after a few rounds of extraction and fusion, he heard the system¡¯s mechanical voice again.


    ¡°Beep, congratulations, host, fusion was successful. You have obtained an insect catcher tree.¡±


    The insect catcher was a tall tree and had a growth cycle period of ten years.


    Once it bloomed, it could attract all the pests around it and devour them.


    It could replenish its nutrients by devouring the insects and this could ensure its survival.


    ¡°It needs ten years to grow, that¡¯s too long. I will need to give it the characteristic of rapid growth.¡±


    ¡°Beep, congratulations to the host for obtaining the fast-growing insect catcher tree.¡±


    He did not expect that after adding such a characteristic, its growth cycle was shortened to one year.


    This way, the rapid growth of the tree could be guaranteed.


    Ye Heng did not give up on his research. He continued and did not leave his room for the entire afternoon.


    After one full day, he finally settled on the type that he was most satisfied with.


    This time, the insect catcher tree had a total of four high-quality characteristics.


    They were rapid growth, faster absorption, cold resistance and drought tolerance.


    In this way, the seeds he obtained were only slightly inferior to the super lettuce.


    Moreover, both seeds were grade 1.


    For seeds of all grades, this insect catcher tree could bloom even in


    extremely cold winters, thereby attracting pests to prey on.


    However, Ye Heng wasn¡¯t very clear about its specific effects.


    However, seeing the level displayed above him, he wasn¡¯t very worried.


    After duplicating the insect catcher tree that he had researched earlier on, Ye Heng placed it in the furnace provided by the system to cultivate it.


    Even if the growth cycle of the tree had been greatly shortened, it would still take a few months for it to fully grow.


    Therefore, it was better to put it in the furnace provided by the system.


    In this way, it would only take two weeks for it to fully mature.


    At the same time, Ye Heng also developed a smaller insect catcher tree.


    In this way, it could also be planted in a pot.


    However, while Ye Heng was doing his research, many online customers who wanted to buy their products were dissatisfied.


    Why was the delivery delayed for no reason?


    Why didn¡¯t you delay the delivery to those people before us?


    Therefore, Ye Heng could only let the customer service operators explain.


    He told these consumers that it was because the Cosmic Planting flagship store was about to open its official website. Therefore, the delivery time was delayed.


    But during this period, the netizens all discovered a problem.


    They had grown super lettuce at home.


    However, some families staying on the ground floor found that there were many pests in their homes.


    Although they could spray pesticides on these pests, this kind of pure natural and pollution-free plants would not taste good after that.


    For example, vegetables were easily eaten by insects.


    But after spraying pesticides, the vegetables tasted much worse.


    It was also because of this reason that they did not wish for such delicious lettuce to be harmed this time.


    ¡°Then Ye Heng, now that the entire company is in chaos, what should we do?¡±


    Zhao Yao¡¯s voice was very anxious.


    She was also a little nervous in the face of this matter..

 Chapter 23 - The Streamer Came to Broadcast

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s no need to panic, wait until our Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s website is completely developed, you¡¯ll be in for a big surprise.¡±


    ¡°By that time, everyone shouldn¡¯t be troubled by the pest problem.¡±


    Ye Heng said with a smile.


    His confidence immediately made Zhao Yao heave a sigh of relief.


    There was only one day left before the customer service announcement of the Cosmic Planting official website.


    At this moment, Ye Heng took out the plant he had prepared in the system space.


    He placed the tree-like plant in front of the cultivation greenhouse and planted it.


    There were all kinds of branches and leaves on the tree trunk that was taller than a person.


    If there was a patient with trypophobia here, he might even run out the door in fear and disgust.


    After all, there were densely packed stamens and flower buds.


    These were flowers that specialized in catching insects.


    Each flower had a refreshing and sweet fragrance.


    Even these workers took a serious sniff.


    In the natural world, as long as the colour was bright, it would be considered poisonous or dangerous.


    Take poisonous mushrooms for instance, if eaten might cause people to fall sick or if they were poisonous, might cause death.


    If it were these flowers, it was very likely that the insects would die.


    Tonight, the technicians were working overtime, so after the heavy publicity, many netizens were waiting for the arrival of 0 a.m.


    This included the live streamer Tingting who was the one who initiated the promotion from the beginning.


    She also promised everyone in the live broadcast room that she would go to the Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s plantation base for the live broadcast the next day.


    Soon, it finally reached the wee hours of the second day.


    It was also at this time that the Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s website finally opened.


    By clicking on the webpage, one could see an animation of the entrance.


    This animation of the entrance was based on what Ye Heng saw when he first received the system.


    After you entered, you could see a seed that turned a desolate planet completely green.


    The entire planet looked like a giant tree in the sky.


    It gave an impactful impression.


    With the launch of the official website, detailed information about the company and the release of new products could be announced via this platform.


    However, the netizens were surprised to find that a new product had appeared on the product list.


    This product was called the insect catcher tree.


    The price was 50 yuan per seed.


    ¡°Insect catcher tree? What is this?¡± Some netizens were wondering about it.


    ¡°It is said that it can catch insects and eat them as food. This plant can effectively protect the surrounding plants.¡±


    ¡°I understand. Does this mean that this plant can eat insects and you can also grow them at home?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right. This plant has a certain degree of ornamental value. After it blooms, the fragrance emitted from its flowers is also very nice.¡±


    ¡°I think growing it at home should be a good idea.¡±


    A group of netizens soon started discussing it.


    ¡°But doesn¡¯t this characteristic resemble that of the pitcher plant?¡± Meow Meow Candy questioned.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve grown this plant before. It¡¯s can eat one bug a day and that¡¯s considered not bad already,¡± the semi-professional replied.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need to buy this new product.¡±


    After hearing his words, someone immediately shook his head.


    ¡°Streamer Tingting is going to start her live broadcast, let¡¯s hurry over and take a look.¡±


    Suddenly, a netizen shouted.


    ¡°Could it be that the streamer has already arrived at the plantation base of the Cosmic Planting flagship store?¡±


    Following that, many netizens flocked over from the official website to Fast Fish¡¯s live broadcast room.


    ¡°Hello, everyone!¡±


    ¡°I am everyone¡¯s beloved streamer, Tingting.¡±


    ¡°Today, I have travelled all the way and finally arrived at the Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s plantation fields.¡±


    Streamer Tingting smiled brightly.


    ¡°Haha, you¡¯re finally here. I can see the greenhouse behind, there should be the most delicious lettuce inside.¡±


    ¡°How about this streamer, I¡¯ll give you a rocket in return for a lettuce seedling.¡±


    ¡°There are so many fields behind, if I can have them, I¡¯ll be rich.¡±


    This was the first time everyone was seeing the Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s headquarters.


    These netizens were excited.


    ¡°Tingting, you¡¯re finally here.¡±


    While Tingting was doing her live broadcasting, suddenly, a woman walked towards her.


    This woman was also very beautiful.


    Compared to Tingting, she was actually on par with her, maybe even more beautiful.


    Moreover, she was wearing a professional outfit, which made her look very attractive and sensual.


    Her figure was also excellent with the right curves in the right places.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the streamer¡¯s live broadcast room had so many benefits.¡±


    ¡°I agree with the person above. This is a beautiful woman, and she¡¯s even better looking than those celebrities.¡±


    ¡°Streamer Tingting, I¡¯m still a bachelor. I have three apartments and two cars at home. You have to help me seize this opportunity.¡±


    After seeing Zhao Yao, the netizens in the live broadcast room exploded.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped. Among the people who followed Tingting, the majority of them were guys.


    There were hundreds of thousands of male fans among her many fans.


    Of course, there were also countless bachelors.


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, this is my best friend, but she¡¯s already taken.¡±


    Tingting laughed.


    ¡°Too bad, beautiful girls are usually taken,¡± The semi-professional said.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, after all, my best friend¡¯s partner is the big boss of this Cosmic Planting flagship store.¡±


    Tingting said with a smile.


    When the netizens heard this, they could only crazily spam the comments in the broadcast room.


    ¡°Oh my god, this is too amazing, the boss of this Cosmic Planting flagship store is a winner.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that not only is his level of research high, he can also make money and his partner is so good looking.¡±


    ¡°This is too scary.¡±


    ¡°No choice, people. If you guys can, then boycott them and don¡¯t buy any of Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s new products in the future.¡±


    Meow Meow Candy was a staunch supporter of Ye Heng.


    ¡°No, no, we are just joking.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, who wouldn¡¯t want to buy the products from Cosmic Planting?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right, I¡¯m already into planting now, I¡¯m almost addicted to it.¡±


    ¡°Tingting, be careful. There seem to be bees ahead.¡±


    A sharp-eyed netizen suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot of bees on a tree not far away.


    So, he reminded Tingting in the live broadcast room.


    ¡°Wow, why does it smell so good? Zhao Yao, what kind of flower is this?¡±


    Tingting saw at a glance that there were a lot of flowers on the tree in front.


    It was also because of this that there were so many bees.


    ¡°Tingting, these aren¡¯t flowers. They¡¯re the latest plant species developed by our company, the insect catcher tree.¡±


    Zhao Yao said with a smile.


    ¡°Insect catcher tree?¡± Tingting was dumbfounded when she heard this..

 Chapter 24 - Planning to Buy Land

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    She quickly walked over.


    In the end, she was surprised to find that there weren¡¯t bees around the tree. Instead, there were some pests.


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    An even more shocking scene appeared before her eyes.


    As Tingting was looking at the flowers, she was surprised to see them slowly closing up their petals and devouring the insects.


    In about fifteen minutes, the flowers bloomed again, but there were no traces of insects inside.


    From the looks of it, the insects must have been completely consumed by the tree and became its nutrients.


    Although there were many insects around, what was shocking was that this kind of plant seemed to be able to eat insects all the time.


    If Ye Heng was here, he would tell her with a smile that there were fewer insects today than before.


    ¡°Am I seeing things? How can there be such a big plant that eats insects?¡± All the netizens were stunned.


    In the live broadcast room, they were shocked to see countless insects being attracted over to the tree and eaten up by it.


    In another half an hour, there were hundreds or even thousands of insects that were all eaten up by the tree.


    To be honest, the tree¡¯s efficiency of killing the insects was quite high and it was even more powerful than insecticides.


    ¡°Zhao Yao, what kind of plant is this?¡±


    Tingting was very surprised.


    ¡°When this plant first appeared, I was also alarmed by it.¡±


    ¡°Its name is the insect catcher tree. It¡¯s the latest product developed by our company to specifically fight against these pests.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s also available on our official website now.¡±


    ¡°However, the one on the official website is a little shorter than the one you¡¯re seeing now. It can be planted in a pot.¡±


    ¡°Even so, its ability to catch insects is also very powerful.¡±


    Zhao Yao said with a smile.


    ¡°This is an eye-opener.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the products cultivated in Cosmic Planting to be so powerful.¡±


    ¡°Alright, brothers, my hand speed is faster, I¡¯ve already bought it.¡±


    ¡°Wait for me, I have to get off work too. This way, I won¡¯t have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes in the summer.¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel like this is very similar to raising a pet?¡±


    When they saw this amazing tree through the live broadcast room, the netizens became even more excited and were full of praise for it.


    Everyone was tempted and eager to buy such a plant to put it at home and see the effects of its insect catching ability.


    Especially the people who had already bought super lettuce before.


    They had been gnashing their teeth in anger due to the appearance of those pesky insects earlier on.


    Now that there was a solution to solve their problems, how could they not be happy?


    In addition, after learning more about the plant and seeing the flowers in bloom through the live broadcast room, they were taken away by its aesthetics.


    Furthermore, there was the alluring fragrance from the flowers.


    In an instant, the orders via the official website for the Cosmic Planting flagship store kept on increasing.


    Within 10 minutes, there were already 300,000 sales.


    There was also a certain amount of sales for the super lettuce.


    The entire store¡¯s funds kept increasing.


    After all, many of the products from Cosmic Planting had already been sold.


    Now, in China, through word of mouth and various social media platforms, almost everyone knew about Cosmic Planting.


    If it weren¡¯t for some middle-aged and elderly people who did not know how to use their phones to do online shopping, the sales for Cosmic Planting flagship store would have increased by a lot.


    Based on China¡¯s current population of 1.4 billion, to ensure the demand of the entire population was met, it would have to be in the billions.


    Fortunately, the products that were sold in Cosmic Planting only had a growth cycle of about a year.


    Therefore, they could guarantee the daily sales quota after that.


    Even their profits could be guaranteed.


    Although this flagship store made a lot of money, it also hurt some people¡¯s interests to a certain extent.


    For example, people who specialized in growing vegetables for a living.


    Of course, the most important thing was that it had dealt a blow to the contractors who sold vegetables.


    Just the amount of land and plants they had could not meet the needs of China.


    Not to mention, they also needed to meet the needs of the entire world.


    ¡°Zhao Yao, now that you think about it, if our company moves later, what would be the best land option to grow our plants?¡±


    ¡°After all, the current land is not enough for us for development purposes.¡±


    Ye Heng looked at his general manager, Zhao Yao.


    As for Zhao Yao, she looked calm and collected. She thought for a while and said, ¡°In my opinion, it still depends on the amount of land we need now.¡±


    ¡°50,000 mu of land,¡± Ye Heng said decisively.


    ¡°That much!¡±


    Zhao Yao was shocked.


    ¡°Also, I¡¯m not using this land as a lease.¡±


    ¡°My idea is to buy them directly.¡±


    Ye Heng said indifferently which made Zhao Yao stunned.


    ¡°You¡¯re simply daydreaming. Even if the sales of your products are very good recently and our company has also obtained a lot of funds, but with so much land, if we buy it, it would at least cost several billion.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think our province would allow us to buy so much land.¡±


    ¡°The key problem is, even if they are willing to sell it to us, we can¡¯t afford it.¡±


    Zhao Yao felt helpless when she said this.


    ¡°We don¡¯t need expensive soil and fertile land.¡±


    ¡°We only need some cheap land.¡±


    ¡°After all, the plants we grow don¡¯t have any requirements for soil.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. If you want cheap land, it¡¯s very simple.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a great desert? You can go directly to the country to buy it. Maybe they will sell it to you for less than one billion.¡±


    Zhao Yao said with a smile, obviously joking.


    ¡°The Gobi Desert, and the desert,¡± After hearing this, Ye Heng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Hmm, do you think this is feasible?¡± Zhao Yao looked at Ye Heng.


    ¡°You¡¯re right. After all, for us, only the Gobi Desert can solve our needs now.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, if we can apply to buy land from the country in the name of greening, we can also save a lot of money.¡±


    Ye Heng slapped his thigh and laughed.


    ¡°Even so, have you ever considered that the employees might not be willing to work in the desert with you?¡±


    Zhao Yao thought about this possibility.


    ¡°You¡¯re right. But I won¡¯t give up the plantation in our city. I¡¯ll just treat it as a branch.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll go directly to the desert to carry out the next step of development.¡±


    ¡°I believe that with the right salary, there will be people willing to work in the desert.¡±


    Ye Heng was very serious about this.


    In Ye Heng¡¯s opinion, it was not difficult to turn the desert into a green field.


    After all, he still had this system.


    Not to mention, what was most needed in a desert environment was drought tolerance.


    As long as he used the system, he could easily fuse characteristics so that the plants could become tolerant to drought.


    And the plants that he developed were more drought tolerant than cacti..

 Chapter 25 - Meihuas Job Hunting

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    After thinking and planning for future development, Ye Heng immediately began his preparation work.


    It could be said that he was making hay while the sun shines and taking precautions beforehand. He first extracted the characteristic of drought tolerance.


    The plant he was talking about could turn the desert into a green space.


    But even if he obtained the drought resistance characteristic of the cactus, there were bound to be extremely dry places in the desert of the Gobi Desert.


    Even the cacti may not be able to survive.


    For plants, without water, it was simply killing them.


    In these places, the water source was extremely poor.


    ¡°System, how can I increase the drought resistance of the plants?¡±


    Ye Heng thought about it and asked the system.


    ¡°The drought resistance is still at level one. If it is placed in the strengthening furnace to enhance this characteristic, it will be able to meet your requirements.¡±


    The system¡¯s electronic voice sounded.


    ¡°But isn¡¯t this strengthening furnace unusable?¡±


    Looking at the grey furnace in front of him, Ye Heng was a little puzzled.


    However, it was also clear that the strengthening furnace was used to strengthen the high-quality characteristics of plants.


    ¡°The host¡¯s current willpower can not open the strengthening furnace.¡±


    ¡°Please raise your willpower as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Only then we can quickly resolve the issue with the strengthening furnace.¡±


    ¡°I see. Then I¡¯ll have to work hard.¡±


    ¡°But if we can increase the drought resistance characteristic, we can also turn the desert into an oasis.¡±


    Ye Heng spoke with great emotion.


    Through every extraction, replication and fusion, Ye Heng¡¯s willpower could be strengthened.


    It was also because of this that Ye Heng¡¯s current willpower was much stronger than before.


    But even so, he still had no way to open his strengthening furnace.


    So he was aware of the fact that if he wanted to open the strengthening furnace, he would need a lot of willpower.


    However, if there was a gain, there would also be a loss.


    Hard work would also be rewarded accordingly.


    If he could turn on the strengthening furnace, the seed that was being fused would become a grade 2 seed.


    It would be stronger than a grade 1 seed.


    However, even for plants with five high-quality characteristics, the fusion had not been successful.


    Therefore, Ye Heng did not dare to harbour wishful thinking that he could turn on the strengthening furnace very quickly.


    In his opinion, there was a more important matter at the moment.


    This matter was naturally something that he had to take action personally.


    It was to expand the company¡¯s workforce.


    Moreover, the current number of employees in the company was completely insufficient for the current scale.


    At the same time, the head of the Human Resource Department could be responsible for hiring ordinary employees.


    During recruitment, they could also let him take a look.


    However, to choose his assistant, he still needed to personally conduct an interview.


    A few days ago, his company had released the information in the flagship store and on the official website.


    It mainly emphasized that the company needed to recruit employees.


    But even so, the resumes that came in were close to hitting the limit of the mailbox of the head of the Human Resource Department.


    The assistant position was among the list of positions listed in this recruitment exercise.


    Now, Ye Heng already had all of the resumes applying for the assistant position.


    What he needed to do was to screen through them.


    But for now, Ye Heng was not very satisfied.


    He saw a lot of young girls and some fresh graduates applying for this position.


    Although his recruitment criteria did not have strict and rigid requirements nor did he need a professional counterpart, but these applicants lacked the most basic knowledge of crops so how were they be able to continue working for the company.


    After all, his Cosmic Planting company was a seed company.


    That time he went to the flower market to buy some pitcher plants, say if it was his assistant who went but the latter was ignorant of this plant, then why would he want to hire her?


    At the same time, a high-speed train was heading in his direction in City C.


    On the train, a girl was wearing a fitting T-shirt and a pair of jeans.


    She sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside, her expression was very serious.


    She had black hair which was extremely soft and silky.


    She had pretty features and fair skin.


    The men on the train were all looking in her direction.


    Her name was Kong Meihua.


    She was a famous model in the local Cosplay Circle.


    She was also known as Meow Meow Candy in the live broadcast room.


    Originally, she was just an otaku girl.


    But when she received the notice on the official website and the live broadcast room regarding the recruitment of employees for the Cosmic Planting flagship store, she instantly became excited and directly sent in her resume.


    She even wrote ¡°Boss¡¯s assistant¡± directly under the position column.


    After all, if she could work in the Cosmic Planting Company in the future, she would be able to come into contact with all kinds of new products.


    Moreover, she could see what the big boss of the company looked like.


    Plus, she had watched the live broadcast yesterday.


    She had seen how the streamer had certified the big boss, and also met his girlfriend.


    In this way, she didn¡¯t have to worry about any unspoken rules in the office.


    Or any other stuff.


    After her mind was at ease with what she saw, she became even more excited.


    If she could become the assistant of the big boss, she would be able to see all kinds of different plants for the first time.


    Even if she could buy them on the official website and in the flagship store, but for some reason, she suddenly had a hunch. The company would keep some of the plants and not release them for sale.


    In other words, some people would not be able to buy these new varieties.


    Up until now, Cosmic Planting only sold fruits and vegetables that people ate.


    But there were so many plants in the world and they weren¡¯t just food.


    However, Meihua didn¡¯t expect that she had just casually written her resume, but she could pass the first selection.


    Just today, the Human Resource Division asked her to go to Cosmic Planting Company for an interview.


    She was extremely excited.


    After all, Meihua knew very well that she didn¡¯t have any special talents.


    But even so, she had the opportunity to go for the interview.


    It was too great.


    Even with her current income, it could completely overtake the income of this job.


    But she liked Cosmic Planting very much.


    So it didn¡¯t matter whether she earned money or not, as long as it was a stable income.


    Very quickly, she arrived at this city.


    However, her beautiful figure attracted the attention of all the passengers on the train.


    She turned her head and looked over, smiling at them.


    She left the train station and looked at this unfamiliar city.


    Unconsciously, she had some anticipation in her heart.


    ¡°Go to Cosmic Road, Cosmic Planting flagship store.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    At this time, otaku Meihua was finally on her way to her interview.


    Perhaps the Cosplay Circle would lose a high-quality cosplayer.


    Instead, there would be an additional white-collar worker in the office.


    But even so, she still didn¡¯t regret it..

 Chapter 26 - Meihua Got a Job

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Hello, boss. My name is Liu Miaomiao. I¡¯m an undergraduate from one of the top universities in the country. I have more than two years of working experience now.¡±


    Ye Heng sat in his office and began the interview.


    The people who came in were all people who were being interviewed for his assistant position.


    Seeing the woman in front of him rambling all the time, Ye Heng felt a little helpless.


    He eventually interrupted the woman¡¯s words.


    Then, he put his finger on the potted plant in front of him.


    ¡°Take a look at what kind of plant this is?¡±


    The sudden question made the girl dumbfounded.


    ¡°This is probably a flower.¡±


    Liu Miaomiao said with some uncertainty.


    ¡°What, this is a flower?¡± Ye Heng was simply shocked.


    He didn¡¯t expect the mugwort that he had just developed, which was especially drought-resistant, would be seen as a flower.


    Logically speaking, as long as one had eyes, they would be able to differentiate between the two.


    But how did she derive to the conclusion that this was a flower?


    Could it be that university students nowadays didn¡¯t even have any common sense?


    If Liu Miaomiao found out about Ye Heng¡¯s thinking process, she would be very shocked.


    Who would have thought that someone would plant grass in a potted plant?


    This kind of behaviour was a little shocking.


    Ye Heng was exasperated by the applicant.


    This time, to increase the number of employees, the requirements for their education and work experience were not high.


    The tasks given to the employees by the company were not difficult.


    After all, if they were bright and flexible enough, they would be able to do the work.


    Ye Heng mainly wanted to observe the employees¡¯ personalities and see if they were suitable to work with plants.


    However, some of these applicants didn¡¯t have any knowledge about plants at all, while others immediately backed out when they heard that they were going to the Gobi Desert.


    In less than two hours, these people had all left.


    As for Meihua, she was sitting in the waiting area at this time. She suddenly felt a little nervous as she watched these people leave dejectedly.


    Even though she was no longer a fresh new graduate, but this was her first time going through an interview.


    Therefore, she could be considered a complete and utter newbie in the workplace.


    It was normal for her to be nervous now.


    Not long after, she heard the Human Resource personnel say, ¡°Next interviewee please.¡±


    There were no more interviewees in front of her. This time, they were talking about her.


    After entering the door, the interviewer that she saw was a mature male.


    Even though he didn¡¯t look that handsome, but in terms of looks, he could be considered above average.


    Not to mention that he had an extremely manly and mature disposition and was full of drive.


    Meihua had seen many people before but she couldn¡¯t help but take another look at him.


    ¡°Alright, please introduce yourself,¡± Ye Heng said.


    After interviewing so many people, he was already a little impatient.


    But at this time, he continued to speak calmly.


    ¡°My name is Kong Meihua.¡±


    ¡°I graduated from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics. I¡¯m twenty-three years old this year and I don¡¯t have much work experience.¡±


    Hearing the girl¡¯s hesitant voice, Ye Heng didn¡¯t say anything.


    Then, he slowly opened his mouth to comfort her.


    ¡°The assistant that I want does not need any work experience.¡±


    ¡°Now, let me ask you a very simple question. What kind of plant do you think is growing in this pot?¡±


    Ye Heng spoke.


    Meihua was stunned.


    Then, she carefully examined the potted plant.


    She spoke with some hesitation.


    ¡°It looks like mugwort.¡±


    ¡°Not bad. You¡¯re the first person among so many people to be able to identify this plant correctly.¡±


    ¡°The others either say that this is grass or say that this is a flower.¡±


    ¡°There are also some people who simply don¡¯t say it.¡±


    When Ye Heng heard her answer, his eyes instantly lit up and he took one look at Meihua.


    When both their eyes met, Ye Heng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this girl to be so beautiful.¡±


    But Ye Heng was not focused on her appearance.


    Although Meihua didn¡¯t give a very good answer, she was qualified to be his assistant.


    ¡°If I need to send you to the Gobi Desert because of work, will you agree?¡±


    Ye Heng paused and asked.


    Before her, when the people who came for the interview heard that they were going to work in the Gobi Desert, they immediately gave up.


    First of all, they didn¡¯t want to go there because the environment there was too harsh.


    Girls didn¡¯t like dry places because the lack of water would damage their skin.


    ¡°What, we¡¯re going to the desert?¡± Meihua was stunned, her eyes were wide open and she had a shocked expression on her face.


    ¡°Could it be that you plan to develop plants that can adapt to the desert?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Heng said.


    ¡°Of course! I want to see how the Cosmic Planting flagship store can turn the desert into an oasis.¡±


    ¡°After all, I believe in the Cosmic Planting flagship store¡¯s plants.¡±


    ¡°Cosmic Planting can completely transform an extremely harsh environment such as the desert into something else.¡±


    After hearing this, Ye Heng immediately laughed.


    ¡°Student Meihua, I¡¯m glad to announce that you are hired.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe I got hired just like that!¡±


    Meihua was extremely shocked, she couldn¡¯t even imagine she was picked amongst so many interviewees to eventually become the assistant.


    Although her university was not bad, the interviewees who were before her were simply too strong.


    There were people from different universities and different majors.


    Many of them even had work experience.


    But she, who had no work experience, was hired.


    ¡°Yes, you can go to the Human Resource Department this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°By that time, your supervisor will discuss with you about the salary and working conditions.¡±


    ¡°You also need to sign the labour contract.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget to bring a copy of your identification card and all kinds of documents.¡±


    ¡°You can start work tomorrow.¡±


    Ye Heng said.


    ¡°Okay, Boss!¡±


    Meihua was astonished by the development of things but she replied to him happily.


    Although she was no longer a cosplayer, she could still get a job that she was interested in.


    This was a good thing to her.


    She could only do her model job while she was in her youth.


    Her parents didn¡¯t like her being a model.


    But now that she got this new job, she could also get the support of her parents.


    ¡°If I post it on my WeChat Moment, no one in the group will believe it.¡±


    ¡°But after that, I won¡¯t be an otaku anymore.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be a white-collar worker with a real job.¡±


    Meihua immediately cheered herself on.


    It had been three months since Cosmic Planting started operations.


    But every time, it was able to reap profits of substantial amounts.


    Its prospect was prosperous and promising.


    Meihua believed that this flagship store could change the entire world.


    The future was unlimited.


    If she could be a part of it, it would be great for her.


    Being able to be the boss¡¯s assistant would allow her to gain more knowledge.


    Her future would be incomparably bright!

 Chapter 27 - Working with Professor Li Jing

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Ye Heng, I heard that you recently found a pretty good new assistant.¡±


    Although that was what she said, her words carried a hint of ridicule.


    The person who spoke was Zhao Yao. Now that she had arrived at Ye Heng¡¯s office, she finally saw Ye Heng¡¯s famous assistant in the company.


    However, after seeing her, Zhao Yao was a little surprised.


    After all, she didn¡¯t expect that this assistant¡¯s figure was so good, and even her looks were very attractive.


    From Zhao Yao¡¯s aesthetic point of view, they were actually on par in terms of visual appearance.


    Moreover, this assistant worked as a model previously, therefore, if one were to compare their figures, Zhao Yao¡¯s would not be as good as her.


    ¡°This assistant is not that good either. She is still a little rash in her work and is not as good as you.¡±


    At this moment, Ye Heng said with a smile.


    Although he was a straight and forthcoming man, he could sense some dissatisfaction in her tone.


    So, he continued to speak.


    ¡°Fortunately, this assistant has some knowledge about potted plants and plants.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.¡±


    Hearing Ye Heng¡¯s words, Zhao Yao was a little happy.


    However, from her point of view, Ye Heng still did not understand her meaning.


    ¡°Alright, I have an idea, why don¡¯t I continue to be your assistant?¡±


    Although Zhao Yao said so, she knew that with Ye Heng¡¯s personality, he would probably reject her.


    Sure enough, Ye Heng¡¯s reply made her somewhat speechless.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I just did a large-scale recruitment exercise and the company has also recruited many employees. There are still many things that haven¡¯t been settled.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re now the general manager of our company. The company can¡¯t do without you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s better to let this assistant continue,¡± Ye Heng said with a smile.


    After hearing Ye Heng¡¯s words, Zhao Yao smiled.


    ¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯ve brought in hundreds of new employees all at once and we still have to train them. I¡¯m also busy over this.¡±


    ¡°Oh right, Ye Heng, when are you going to start buying the land in the Gobi Desert?¡±


    Zhao Yao looked at Ye Heng with puzzlement.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be done soon. I¡¯ve already received the contact details with the local government in the Gobi Desert.¡±


    ¡°It will take less than a month to complete the negotiations.¡±


    ¡°We can also buy the land here.¡±


    Ye Heng scratched his head and said with a smile.


    It would take a certain amount of time to buy the land and prepare the daily necessities such as food and drinks, as well as accommodation for their employees.


    At first, he planned to rent a house in a small city not far from the Gobi Desert, and then the employees would live there.


    However, even so, they would have to start building employees¡¯ dormitories around the desert within the next few years.


    After all, these employees would be following him in the long run.


    It would be better to secure accommodation for them to live in.


    Or perhaps Ye Heng was considering Gobi Desert as the headquarters of the Cosmic Planting Company in the future.


    ¡°Boss, a Professor Li Jing from the Capital Agricultural University is here to see you.¡±


    ¡°Would you like to meet him?¡±


    Meihua, the assistant, informed him from outside.


    ¡°It¡¯s Professor Li Jing from the Capital Agricultural University.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him?¡±


    After hearing this, Ye Heng immediately knew who this person was.


    After all, he was a well-known expert in botany in China.


    Therefore, since this expert was willing to look for him, his purpose of coming was obvious.


    He definitely wanted to take a look at his own company as well as the products under Cosmic Planting.


    ¡°Alright, since he¡¯s here, let¡¯s meet.¡±


    Ye Heng nodded and said.


    After hearing this, Zhao Yao immediately said, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t bother you anymore.¡±


    Her behaviour immediately made Ye Heng a little confused. He didn¡¯t know what Zhao Yao was trying to do.


    Not long after, Professor Li Jing arrived in his office.


    ¡°It¡¯s Professor Li, isn¡¯t it? Come, Meihua, make tea for Professor Li.¡±


    Ye Heng looked at Professor Li who had come from afar and instructed his assistant.


    ¡°Yes, Boss.¡± Meihua brought two cups of hot tea over.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you are the boss of this company, Cosmic Planting,¡± Li Jing said with a confused look when he saw Ye Heng.


    After all, he had never expected that the boss of a listed company would actually be a young man like Ye Heng.


    ¡°My name is Ye Heng. May I know why Professor Li Jing is here?¡± Ye Heng asked with a smile.


    ¡°The reason is simple. I¡¯m here to ask about the top-tier Tomato No. 1 and super lettuce developed by your Cosmic Planting flagship store. How were they developed?¡±


    He couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and finally asked the burning question in his mind.


    After all, he had spent almost two months analyzing the plants but he still got nothing.,


    He was, after all, a famous professor of botany in China.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Professor Li. These two products are indeed the latest products developed by our company.¡±


    ¡°But information about these two latest plant species is confidential and considered the company¡¯s secret, so I can¡¯t reveal it to you.¡±


    ¡°I hope Professor Li can understand this.¡±


    Ye Heng immediately rejected him.


    ¡°Okay, maybe I asked out of the blue. But your company is really powerful, to transform the plants planted in the ground into potted plants.¡±


    ¡°I have to say, it¡¯s very impressive.¡± Professor Li praised him from the bottom of his heart.


    To be able to let research academicians be in awe of his work was considered recognition of Ye Heng¡¯s abilities.


    ¡°No, no. I have to thank you for your recognition, Professor Li.¡±


    ¡°Even though this involves our company¡¯s secrets and we are not able to reveal them to you, we can unconditionally supply to you and your graduate students the products we developed in the future for research purposes.¡±


    ¡°In addition, our company can also provide jobs for your students.¡±


    Ye Heng opened his mouth and revealed his plan to cooperate with Professor Li.


    After all, he was going to buy properties in the Gobi Desert.


    Then he would set up a research laboratory for botany.


    In this way, Professor Li¡¯s students, including students from the Capital Agricultural university, and even teachers and students from the National Agricultural University, could come to Cosmic Planting Company.


    This place could provide them with sufficient jobs.


    As the name of his product continued to grow, Ye Heng also had a sudden idea. He felt that he could rely on Professor Li to cover for him.


    ¡°Is the company willing to take the initiative to build the latest laboratory for us?¡±


    When Professor Li heard this, he was tempted by his proposal.


    After all, in his opinion, this was really convenient.


    It could also help his students..

 Chapter 28 - The Insect Catcher Tree Was very Powerful!

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll think about it. We still need to talk to our school leaders.¡±


    Although Professor Li was tempted, he remained silent for a while.


    After all, this matter was not something that he could decide on his own.


    ¡°Sure. Then I hope to wait for your good news, Professor Li,¡± Ye Heng said with a smile.


    ¡°Okay, let me remind you one more thing.¡±


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s for the sake of the laboratory.¡±


    The moment Professor Li opened his mouth, Ye Heng became a little serious.


    ¡°I suggest that you don¡¯t launch your new product too fast and then take too big a step in one go.¡±


    Professor Li was kind enough to advise Ye Heng.


    After all, if Ye Heng developed the urban vegetable farming industry, it would inevitably affect the vegetable market.


    In that case, many people in the country would lose their jobs.


    There would also be certain changes in society.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Professor Li, I know what you¡¯re thinking.¡±


    ¡°However, any change will result in a certain level of sacrifice. The current era is going against the current.¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t improve as soon as possible, we¡¯ll be eliminated by the times.¡±


    After hearing Ye Heng¡¯s words, Meihua, who was standing at the side, also spoke up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, technology can change the world and benefit mankind.¡±


    After hearing this, Professor Li was silent for a moment.


    ¡°Okay, we shouldn¡¯t discuss this matter.¡±


    Wang Daqiang was a migrant worker. He was a typical poor person who came from the countryside to work in the construction site. He had to work on the construction site for an entire day.


    Fortunately, he was still in the prime of his life. For his son to go to college and have a future, he came from the countryside and worked on the construction site.


    The work on the construction site was even more difficult than farming at home.


    It could even be said that he didn¡¯t rest all day.


    But such hard work also earned a certain amount of income.


    After all, the income they earned from working on the construction site was much higher than from farming.


    They could earn at least 300 to 400 yuan or even 400 to 500 yuan a day.


    However, construction workers like Wang Daqiang need to make use of their youth to earn money.


    After all, the longer they worked, the greater the damage to their bodies.


    Therefore, he had to make good use of his time. When he was still young and could still work, he had to save some money.


    Otherwise, when he got old and his physical fitness decline, he would not even be able to work. There would be no one to take care of and support his family.


    There was a lot of dust contamination, noise pollution and mosquitoes at the construction site.


    It could be said that the environment was very poor.


    If his family was not poor and there was income from farming at home, who would be willing to work in the construction site?


    The so-called infrastructure was built on the fact that the vast majority of people were willing to let go and bear hardships and endure hard work.


    If it weren¡¯t for them, the country¡¯s infrastructure wouldn¡¯t be so strong.


    It was also impossible to have so many skyscrapers and the busy traffic in the city.


    After he lifted the steel pipe again, Wang Daqiang¡¯s cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.


    He took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was his son.


    He immediately picked up the call.


    ¡°Hello, son, What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Dad, I heard that there are a lot of insects on the construction site and the air circulation isn¡¯t good either. I have a delivery for you.¡± Wang Daqiang¡¯s son¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. He sounded worried for his father.


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Wang Daqiang was a little puzzled when he heard this.


    ¡°Dad, this is a plant that can eat insects. You don¡¯t need to care about it. Just put it in the shed where you sleep.¡±


    ¡°This way, you won¡¯t be bitten by insects in the future.¡±


    ¡°Look at you. Why are you still spending money recklessly?¡± Wang Daqiang only heard half of what his son said.


    However, in the afternoon, he received a pickup code.


    Then, he received the parcel that his son mentioned over the phone.


    However, when he opened it, he looked at the potted plant in front of him in confusion.


    The contractor beside him was also a little surprised.


    ¡°What¡¯s this? Old Wang¡¯s flower looks pretty good.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. After all, my son suddenly bought it for me.¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m working at the construction site. This thing is useless to me.¡±


    Wang Daqiang shook his head.


    However, it was out of his son¡¯s good intention, so he didn¡¯t throw this thing away.


    ¡°Old Wang, it¡¯s more or less useful. Look, your son is probably worried that the dust in the construction site will affect you. This potted plant can help to clean the air, right?¡±


    ¡°Wait till I have no time for these plants.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Put It in your room first. Just water it on time.¡±


    After hearing the contractor¡¯s words, Wang Daqiang put the green potted plant next to his bed.


    After all, most of the workers in the shed had bunk beds, and eight to ten people would sleep in a room.


    As a migrant worker, he had to work hard every day and was still very busy.


    He could only rest when he returned to the shed at night.


    Wang Daqiang was originally lying on the bed, but after looking at his phone for a while, he suddenly thought of the potted plant.


    Forget it, I¡¯ll just water it.


    Although the environment at the construction site was very bad with all the dust and noise, at least there was a place to live here.


    Otherwise, if he had to rent a house, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to pay the rental fee.


    But just as Wang Daqiang was about to water the plant with a glass of water, he was surprised to find something different.


    Every day, the plant had some changes.


    Not only did it not die, but it kept growing.


    It seemed to have a very strong life force.


    What was even more shocking to him was that he could sleep soundly every night.


    It turned out that the insects that kept harassing him while he was sleeping seemed to have disappeared without a trace.


    Not only did the air become much fresher, but there was also the flower fragrance from the plant which made the air nice-smelling.


    Sometimes, when he woke up at night, he would take a look at the plant.


    However, one day, when he looked at the plant with the flashlight on his phone, he almost yelled out.


    That was because he saw the flowers in full bloom, and there were many insects around them.


    These insects came one after another and kept flying into the flowers.


    Then, they were eaten by the flowers.


    ¡°No wonder I haven¡¯t seen any insects lately. I didn¡¯t expect that the potted plant my son sent over could eat insects.¡±


    Then, Wang Daqiang went to bed. He smelled the fragrance of the flowers and slowly fell asleep.


    Therefore, his spirit was getting better and better every day.


    As for the contractor, he was very shocked as he looked at Wang Daqiang.


    He even wondered if he had gone out to spend money.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I can sleep well, so I feel much better.¡±


    Wang Daqiang took the initiative to tell his friends about the mystery of this potted plant.


    ¡°Okay! This is too great. Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± The contractor became excited and brought his workmates over..

 Chapter 29 - On a Business Trip with Meihua

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    After hearing Wang Daqiang¡¯s words, the other workers on the construction site also planned to go to his room to take a look.


    The moment the door opened, a wave of exclamations was heard.


    All the workers saw the potted plant blossomed and were continuously eating flies and insects.


    Furthermore, there was a nice fragrance lingering in the air.


    Hence, these workers were all moved.


    At the same time, many similar scenes appeared in China.


    Many people realized that this particular plant was incredibly powerful and could destroy insects more efficiently and effectively.


    In their eyes, this was simply a treasure.


    ¡°I¡¯m grateful to Cosmic Planting for developing a potted plant that can eat insects. If it wasn¡¯t for this fellow, all the pigs in my pig farm would have died long ago.¡±


    In the forum, a post suddenly became popular.


    There were even thousands of replies within the post, and the host was known as ¡°Pig Farmer¡±.


    In his pig farm, there were 800 pigs.


    The number was even increasing.


    However, he owned a pig farm after all. No matter how good the sanitation work was, there were still many insects.


    Because of these insects, his pig farm lost dozens of pigs every year.


    This was a loss for him.


    However, due to this potted plant that ate insects, he finally felt calmer and at peace.


    After he bought 20 potted plants to get rid of the insects, he realized that all the flies and mosquitoes in his pig farm had disappeared.


    His precious pigs were eating and drinking, drinking and sleeping and so on.


    They could grow healthily.


    Not only that but their growth cycle had been shortened by a third.


    ¡°Wow, the host is amazing. He fed them to the pigs.¡±


    The netizens all spoke with envy when they saw the scene of the pig farm.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this Cosmic Planting¡¯s top-tier Tomato No. 1?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s their tomato. If I eat tomatoes every day, I¡¯ll grow sick of them.¡±


    ¡°Agreed, I still like to eat that super lettuce.¡±


    ¡°But this is a bit of a waste.¡±


    ¡°There are still many people in our country, and their monthly income is less than 1,000?¡±


    Although the price of tomatoes in the market had fallen again, very few people were willing to feed pigs with tomatoes.


    ¡°Brothers, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not wasting food. After all, I bought a lot of top-tier Tomato No. 1 potted plants.¡±


    ¡°I have about 50 of them.¡±


    ¡°I bought too many of them. I couldn¡¯t finish them all. That¡¯s why I gave them to the pigs. Also, I used fertilizers on the tomatoes.¡±


    This was the business opportunity that the owner of the pig farm had discovered.


    He could use fertilizers to make this type of tomato grow quickly. Then, he could use the tomatoes to feed the pigs.


    It was a huge profit.


    In addition, feeding the pigs with this kind of natural, pollution-free plant will result in delicious pork meat.


    The pork even tasted a little sweet.


    So the owner didn¡¯t have to worry about the sales of their pork.


    ¡°Oh my god, this is such an amazing idea.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I didn¡¯t expect the host to be so intelligent.¡±


    In just a few days, this post had been pushed to the top of the entire forum.


    Many people were asking about the top-tier Tomato No. 1 and the insect catcher tree.


    Although the sales of these two plants were very good, there were still many people who didn¡¯t know about them.


    The current two plants were only popular within China.


    Worldwide, they weren¡¯t well-known.


    However, many people who bought it repeated customers.


    So until now, the total number of people who bought it was only two million.


    Some people even found out that this insect catcher tree could purify the air.


    They were shocked to find that after planting this tree, even the cockroaches in their homes were gone.


    Therefore, more and more people began to buy this insect catcher tree.


    Although many people who lived in the city got convenience after buying these potted plants, because of their limited planting area, there was no way to increase production.


    But in the countryside, it was different.


    Now there were few people in the countryside, but there was still a lot of lands.


    Some people were ready to plant tomatoes, and some people expanded the scale of cultivating tomatoes to raise pigs.


    Although many people lost their jobs, there were still many people who saw business opportunities.


    The insect catcher tree became famous during this period.


    Many people wanted to buy it.


    It was not selling very well before, but in just a few days, its sales were close to the sales of top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    The Cosmic Planting Branch Company could sell 50 million plants in a day.


    Even if they had to pay for their employee¡¯s salaries and taxes, their profits could still reach more than 50%.


    But even so, Ye Heng still felt that his money was too little.


    It was only a few hundred million now, it was too little.


    He also had to buy land and build a dormitory for his employees.


    In addition, he had to build a laboratory for Professor Li.


    He needed at least five billion yuan in capital.


    If his company could get financing, he could get this amount of money.


    However, he didn¡¯t have the intention of letting the company go public. He just wanted to let the company develop slowly.


    If the shares were in his hands, he could also reward some outstanding employees.


    At most, he could only borrow money from the bank.


    After all, most banks would be willing to lend to enterprises.


    ¡°Boss, we¡¯re about to take off. Hurry up and get on the plane.¡±


    Meihua spoke, causing Ye Heng to stop thinking.


    ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Ye Heng stopped thinking about these issues.


    For now, the most important thing for him was to be prepared to buy land.


    He would need to discuss cooperating with the local government.


    Although this aspect required corporate business, Ye Heng planned to personally go and inspect the local environment.


    So this time, he and his assistant would go.


    One had to know that with his current ability, he was not able to turn the Gobi Desert into a green space.


    Therefore, the land he rented at the moment would not include these places.


    ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t you stay in the car? It¡¯s too hot outside.¡±


    Meihua was almost blown away the moment she got out of the car.


    The sand-blow wind was very strong, and the climate was very hot and dry.


    Not only that, but the sun above her was also extremely hot.


    It made people feel a little uncomfortable just by looking at it.


    Moreover, this was a desert. There was sand everywhere and almost no greenery.


    Even the wild weeds were few.


    However, Ye Heng ignored Meihua.


    He left the car and looked around, only to find that the humidity was very low..

 Chapter 30 - Super Sandy Ryegrass

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    In other words, there was no humidity at all.


    After checking the air humidity, Ye Heng took the tools and dug into the soil.


    He found that there was not much moisture in the soil.


    ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t we give up? After all, it¡¯s still very difficult to turn the desert into a green forest.¡±


    From Meihua¡¯s point of view, behind them was the public welfare green forest of another super company.


    Of course, this company had only used a large amount of publicity to make everyone mistakenly think that they were responsible for taking care of the green forest produced by the country.


    This could be said to be an act of greed and shamelessness.


    ¡°No, if they can grow it in the desert, our Cosmic Planting will be able to grow it too.¡±


    Ye Heng said resolutely.


    After all, there was still some moisture in the soil, and it wasn¡¯t completely dry.


    Ye Heng took out a pot of mugwort from the car.


    Then, he placed the mugwort in the desert soil.


    This was the mugwort he had synthesized through the system.


    It had a total of four high-quality characteristics. Not only could it resist drought, but it could also grow quickly. In addition, it could prevent and control sand blown by the wind, as well as adapt to the poor soil.


    The mugwort that was planted into the desert soil immediately began to wither.


    Seeing this, Ye Heng immediately opened a bottle of mineral water and watered the plant.


    However, he was somewhat saddened to discover that although this mugwort could resist drought, it could not retain water.


    Which meant that it could only absorb a portion of the water while the rest was absorbed by the desert.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the root system of the mugwort to be weak.¡±


    Ye Heng was somewhat solemn.


    After all, the root system was still very important for greening.


    Even if they could carry out artificial rainfall now but if they still could not retain the water, the desert would still be a desert, or a Gobi Desert, and there would be no way to expand the original greenery.


    Therefore, given the situation, there was a great emphasis on the ability of the plant¡¯s root system.


    At least the roots of the plant had to be able to penetrate six or seven meters underground.


    Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be able to receive underground water.


    ¡°Let¡¯s return to the local city government first,¡± Ye Heng said.


    After hearing this, Meihua wondered if the boss had decided to give up.


    But she was wrong.


    After entering the city, Ye Heng began to look for the flower and bird market.


    Some of the plant seeds he bought had strong root system ability.


    After learning that he could carry out the greening plan, he had to carry out the corresponding reformation.


    The sea buckthorn was a type of shrub.


    They could be found on many kinds of land in the Northwest. In China, they were used for desert greening.


    After all, the sea buckthorn could resist drought, as well as wind and sand. It could even survive on extremely barren land.


    However, it had all sorts of thorns over its body, so it didn¡¯t look very appealing to the eye.


    Otherwise, the country would have planted this plant in the desert a long time ago.


    What Ye Heng needed was grass which could also be used for planting.


    After all, he still had to think for the company.


    ¡°This kind of plant has very powerful characteristics.¡±


    ¡°But its other characteristics are the same as the ones I already have.¡±


    Ye Heng took out another bunch of forage grass and fused the characteristics he needed.


    After working for an entire afternoon, Ye Heng was almost exhausted. After that, he finally found that he had successfully fused it.


    This was the second time he had obtained a high-quality plant with five characteristics.


    ¡°It is drought-resistant, it can grow rapidly, it has a strong root system and can withstand wind and sand. It can even survive in barren soil. It seems that my day was worth it! After all, this is a graded plant. I¡¯ll depend on it for greening.¡±


    Sandy ryegrass was a grade 1 plant. It only needed ten days to fully grow.


    It had a very strong root system and could reach tens of meters underground to replenish water.


    ¡°Those mugworts and white thatch have all failed. I didn¡¯t expect the forage grass to succeed. However, if the ryegrass can also succeed, it would be even more perfect.¡±


    This kind of grass could be widely used for cultivation, raising livestock and placing it on the golf course as a lawn.


    For him, at the moment, he needed to ensure the sufficiency of the seeds, so he needed to replicate a large number of seeds.


    Of course, he also needed to ensure the success of future cultivation so that he had a stronger grasp of the situation.


    Although the cost of the initial investment was not very high, there was still a huge cost in the later stages.


    However, it would be worth it for Ye Heng if he could turn the desert into a green place.


    He also needed to work harder to create the base for his Cosmic Planting Company.


    Late in the night, Ye Heng continued his experiment on the ryegrass.


    He did not expect this plant to grow very fast.


    In just one night, it had already grown to a height of 30 cm.


    The system had simulated the environment of the Gobi Desert.


    Therefore, this plant could survive successfully.


    However, when he took this plant out, he was very surprised to find that its roots were five to six centimetres long.


    In other words, it would continue to grow and once it matured, it could reach a height of at least 10 meters.


    This kind of plant would be able to survive in the desert.


    Moreover, it was a grade 1 plant with five other characteristics.


    The next morning, Ye Heng woke up and brought his assistant to the municipal government.


    After communicating his ideas and doing some checks and making arrangements, they finally met with the local officials.


    These officials would not refuse to meet people who were able to increase the income of the city,


    Especially if they could increase the income of the local people.


    However, what surprised Ye Heng was that the commanding officer of this place was a great beauty.


    Moreover, it seemed that the age difference between the two of them was not too much.


    ¡°Hello, sir. I am the boss of Cosmic Planting Company, Ye Heng.¡±


    The moment Ye Heng saw her, he immediately reached out and shook hands with her.


    ¡°Hello, my name is Gao Miaomiao. I understand your company quite well. I didn¡¯t expect that the boss is so young and you came up with such a big business.¡±


    The beauty reached out her hand and smiled.


    Ye Heng didn¡¯t think much of it, but he smiled and said, ¡°No, sir. You are also very young, and you have become the regional commanding officer.¡±


    ¡°You are also very brilliant.¡±


    Hearing Ye Heng¡¯s words, Gao Miaomiao suddenly laughed, and her expression was a little sly.


    However, Ye Heng did not catch that part of her.


    Otherwise, he would doubt his own eyes.


    ¡°No, no, no, I am already over thirty. So just tell me directly, do you want to cooperate with us?¡±


    Gao Miaomiao spoke.


    ¡°No, I just want to buy a total of 600,000 mu of land in the desert and the Gobi Desert.¡±


    Ye Heng spoke in a cool manner..

 Chapter 31 - Buying Land and Greening

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    His words immediately shocked Gao Miaomiao.


    There were no resources in the desert. Normal people would not buy such land.


    But this male standing in front of her told her that he wanted to buy their desert land.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Can you give me a discount and sell it to me?¡± Ye Heng asked.


    ¡°Excuse me but can I find out what is your purpose of buying this land?¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s used for greening, we won¡¯t charge you we¡¯ll support you.¡±


    Gao Miaomiao spoke.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the truth. I plan to turn it into a plantation after they are greened.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re quite an interesting person.¡±


    ¡°But are you confident about yourself?¡±


    After all, China had exhausted all means by using a lot of their manpower and money, but they still couldn¡¯t succeed in greening the desert land.


    They even accelerated the rate of desertification of the land.


    Therefore, Gao Miaomiao¡¯s first reaction was that this man was joking.


    ¡°I need to buy it.¡±


    ¡°Also, I need 100 years of usage rights.¡±


    Ye Heng spoke very seriously.


    ¡°If you are serious, this is the map. You can buy whatever land you need.¡±


    ¡°Take a pen and draw a circle around it.¡±


    Of course, Ye Heng was not stupid. He directly circled the shallow layer of the desert.


    At present, Gao Miaomiao had already given him a very low price.


    For 10,000 mu of land, it only cost 10 million to 50 million yuan.


    ¡°Do you need to take a loan?¡±


    ¡°I only need a loan of 50 million yuan.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s another 100 million yuan. I¡¯ll pay it all in one go.¡±


    Ye Heng spoke.


    ¡°Alright. If you¡¯re sure you want to buy it, we¡¯ll prepare the contract immediately. You can come over and sign it tomorrow,¡± Gao Miaomiao said.


    She didn¡¯t expect the entrepreneur she met to be so willful.


    Was he that rich?


    He just casually drew a circle on the map.


    Did he think that the desert was so easy to do greening?


    If he failed, his money would be wasted.


    Even if he managed to treat the land, it would take at least one generation or even several generations for the greening to be effective.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯ll know when you see it.¡± Ye Heng smiled.


    For Ye Heng, of course, he felt that he had made a good deal.


    After all, this price was nothing to him. With the system, he could turn this desert into an oasis very quickly.


    On the next day, Ye Heng came over and signed the contract without hesitation.


    He even paid the money at one go.


    Gao Miaomiao was alarmed.


    But Ye Heng¡¯s next move shocked Gao Miaomiao even more.


    Ye Heng carried out recruitment again in the area she was in charge of and brought in all the employees he had previously recruited.


    The Cosmic Planting Company¡¯s meticulous development here had allowed the entire city¡¯s economy to develop greatly.


    By the time everything was ready, an entire month had already passed.


    During this entire month, Ye Heng had finished the preparation work and even rented a lot of sprinklers.


    He especially went all the way to a river far off from the desert to pump water.


    The goal was to irrigate the seeds.


    But because of the drought in the desert, the water evaporated quickly.


    So Ye Heng chose to irrigate at night.


    In this way, there would not be a huge waste of water.


    The 200 sprinklers that he rented could irrigate the desert once.


    However, it would take at least 20 times to irrigate all of them.


    But Ye Heng did not plan to green all of them this time.


    Therefore, he only needed these sprinklers to go back and forth four times. Moreover, during the day, he had already used the rented seeder to sow the seeds.


    As long as there was water, the seeds would immediately sprout, take root and grow.


    But after all, in the desert, just one irrigation was not enough.


    So every other day, another irrigation was needed.


    In other words, after ten days, the roots of this grass could completely take root and grow more than ten meters underground.


    Ye Heng originally planned to carry out artificial rain.


    But the water content in the desert was very low.


    Therefore, he could not carry out artificial rainfall for a while.


    Furthermore, his previous operations had already cost him 300 million yuan. This included the rent, manpower and various expenses.


    However, it was also because of Ye Heng¡¯s methods that the officials and various personnel here were paying close attention to him.


    Even his competitor, Ant Greening.


    Yun Ma, who was in Hangzhou, suddenly received a phone call from one of his subordinates.


    This person was the person in charge of their group¡¯s greening promotion.


    Of course, he was also the most active person among those who took credit during the corruption.


    Who asked them to know how to promote? They could take credit for others¡¯ contributions.


    They didn¡¯t do too much greening, yet they still publicized that these deserts were all turned into oases by them.


    He was a little shameless.


    Yun Ma was very kind. Although he earned a lot of money, he didn¡¯t feel that he had a lot of money.


    He didn¡¯t even have any concept of money. He wanted to return to primary school and become a teacher.


    Although many people felt that he didn¡¯t deserve to be one.


    However, he was still very enthusiastic about charity and was willing to contribute to public welfare.


    But then, he was a miser and he also misappropriated a lot of money from his employees and the citizens.


    ¡°Boss, I feel that our Ant Greening has met a competitor.¡±


    Song Dali suddenly said.


    Hearing Song Dali¡¯s voice all of a sudden, Yun Ma was a little shocked. Then, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Dali? What happened?¡±


    After hearing his boss¡¯s voice, Dali immediately asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, boss.¡±


    ¡°Just behind the desert that we contracted previously, that piece of desert land has been contracted by a company called Cosmic Planting Company.¡±


    ¡°Not only that, but they have also built a base there. I feel that they might be doing something big.¡±


    Song Dali was a little worried.


    ¡°Dali, don¡¯t worry. Doing greening is a public good.¡±


    ¡°If they are willing to do it, we should welcome them with open arms. Why would we want to deal with them?¡± Yun Ma said with a smile.


    ¡°But boss, I keep feeling that these people don¡¯t seem to be reliable!¡±


    Song Dali said worriedly.


    ¡°Moreover, we are going to contract those places soon. They are going against us!¡±


    ¡°Wait, is it really that Cosmic Planting Company?¡± Yun Ma suddenly asked in shock.


    ¡°Yes, they spent 150 million just to rent land. They even rented sprinklers to irrigate it. They spent 300 to 400 million from start to finish. Everyone is paying attention to them.¡± Song Dali was speechless.


    Yun Ma knew a lot about Cosmic Planting.


    On the platform he had created, the sales figure of this flagship store were truly astonishing.


    Moreover, it was a powerful existence that was ranked first every day..

 Chapter 32 - The Big Leaders would Pay Attention to Them

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Of course, Yun Ma had also bought products from Ye Heng¡¯s flagship store before.


    Therefore, Yun Ma had a certain understanding of their products.


    He found that their products were especially novel, even the variety of the products available was outstanding. It was no wonder it could have such high sales volume.


    Even the shop itself enjoyed high popularity.


    After they opened their official website, there were still many loyal people who went to see them.


    These people were their fans and they all had a good impression of their products.


    Although he was busy with work every day, Yun Ma still bought a lot of their products back home for his family to try.


    After he planted them for his wife, his family got to eat fresh vegetables every day.


    Not only that, these vegetables were all-natural and pollution-free, which was beneficial to one¡¯s health.


    Even the plant that could eat insects helped to improve their home environment to a certain extent.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll go and take a look myself.¡± He thought for a while and made his decision.


    He could also see that this Cosmic Planting was investing in a lot of money, so he was curious as to what exactly were these people trying to do?


    From the products that they have released so far, it could be seen that the company had a very powerful expert in plant cultivation.


    They also had a lot of achievements in research and development technology.


    If this group of people could turn the desert and the Gobi Desert into an oasis, it would be a great blessing for mankind.


    ¡°Boss Yun, do you still want to go your next schedule¡­¡± The assistant asked to check his boss¡¯ reply.


    He only opened his mouth to ask when he had no other choice.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just push it back,¡± Yun Ma said calmly.


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it then,¡± His assistant knew very well that he couldn¡¯t change his boss¡¯ decision.


    ¡­


    At the same time, in the capital of China.


    At the core of the capital, some top-ranking officers were paying attention to the super lettuce.


    One of them, the highest-ranking officer in China, wouldn¡¯t pay much attention to the situation of these plants.


    However, after his granddaughter Zhao Yao brought these plants home, this highest-ranking officer suddenly fell in love with this top-tier Tomato No. 1 and also the super lettuce.


    After all, he was someone who had gone through the toughest times in China.


    Even people from his generation paid a lot of attention to food and treasured it very much.


    When they saw that they could grow vegetables in pots, they were pleasantly surprised.


    They were also slightly astonished and felt unbelievable.


    After they had grown the plants and tasted the ripe fruits, they felt the charm of the top-tier Tomato No. 1 and the super lettuce.


    They also discovered that these vegetables tasted better than the vegetables specially provided for the leaders.


    They were so addicted to them that they couldn¡¯t stop eating.


    In the end, under the vigorous promotion from the highest-ranking officer, their offices were filled with this kind of potted plant.


    Seeing that the highest-ranking officer was taking care of the vegetables, No. 2, who was sitting next to him, said to him, ¡°No. 1, I didn¡¯t expect this shop is trying to make a name for itself in the desert.¡±


    His face was full of smiles.


    ¡°A new variety has appeared?¡± No. 1 laughed.


    ¡°It¡¯s true. I remember that they are planning to turn the desert into an oasis now.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute, isn¡¯t our girl working as the manager there? She took the initiative to tell us that this shop has taken over a large piece of desert land,¡± No. 2 said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s true that turning the desert into an oasis is possible. As part of the government, we have to support these actions. However, aren¡¯t these children a little whimsical?¡± No. 1 frowned.


    ¡°No, because these children have taken the initiative to contract it. They still need a full 100 years. They are worried that after they turn the desert into an oasis, the country will take back the land.¡± No. 2 was helpless.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect these children to be so confident. If they succeed, it would be equivalent to having many more fields that can be cultivated,¡± No. 1 laughed.


    ¡°You¡¯re still confident about them. However, although these kids are quite skilled in plant research, it won¡¯t be easy to turn the desert into an oasis in a short period,¡± No. 2 still had some doubts.


    ¡°But I think these kids must have made some preparations to turn the desert into an oasis by renting so much land all at once,¡± No. 1 said.


    He was very confident in Ye Heng and his company.


    ¡°It¡¯s very simple. After this, he will prepare his plantation and will continue to prepare his plantation base to expand the scale of his company,¡± No. 1¡¯s expression was very serious.


    After all, he could be considered a veteran. He immediately guessed their purpose.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, their planting technology must be much more powerful than other countries. It might even be at the top of the world, and it¡¯s even more advanced than the world¡¯s technology.¡± The other leader was a shrewd person and had guessed his intention.


    ¡°Then should we send people to communicate with them in advance?¡±


    The second leader brought this up. It was his own opinion.


    ¡°We¡¯re now at the stage of free development. We can¡¯t rely on the righteousness of the government to plunder other people¡¯s property.¡±


    ¡°In addition, this young man is still a good person. We need to help them as much as we can.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t let our company be poached for no reason. We also need to keep some trump cards to fight back when a trade war is going on abroad,¡± No. 1 said confidently.


    ¡­


    While everyone was monitoring Ye Heng¡¯s seemingly foolish actions, Ye Heng had already prepared the accommodation for all the employees of the company.


    ¡°Ye Heng, can we do it? We¡¯ve already put all the money of our entire company on greening.¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t do it properly, the whole of China will laugh at us. There might even be rumours that our factory has closed down and that our seeds are being sold at a low price.¡±


    Zhao Yao, who was at the side, laughed. She was teasing Ye Heng.


    ¡°Good god, wouldn¡¯t this cause our company to go bankrupt in the end?¡± She continued to speak.


    However, at this moment, Ye Heng also realized that she was joking.


    ¡°Ah, the seeds with such a high original price are all being sold at a low price now. After all, our boss has run away with his sister-in-law!¡± Zhao Yao teased.


    Ye Heng chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s okay, if need be we will just run away. When I run away, I can just take you with me as well.¡±


    Hearing Ye Heng¡¯s words, Zhao Yao immediately frowned and said with a smile.


    ¡°You¡¯re right..¡±

 Chapter 33 - The Effect of Greening Was very Good

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°But if I leave, I definitely won¡¯t run away with you.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t run away.¡± Ye Heng laughed.


    ¡°We¡¯re about to enter a new round of irrigation. I¡¯ll let you take a look at the new scenery then.¡±


    He had been sowing seeds here for almost a week.


    According to the characteristics of the plants and the growth cycle, if everything was ready, it should be as long as a person¡¯s palm by now.


    Ye Heng drove with Zhao Yao to the Gobi Desert that he rented.


    However, what was surprising was that the originally hot desert was now a little cool.


    As for Zhao Yao and Meihua, they were extremely shocked.


    What used to be a desert had turned into an entire green grassland in front of them!


    The endless hot desert indeed had no way to stop the growth of this grass.


    The patch of green grass covered the entire bare land and brought life to it.


    ¡°It¡¯s so powerful. Now, the desert has been completely transformed into an oasis!¡± Meihua was like a child, rolling happily in the grass.


    Not only that, but she was also constantly smelling the grass.


    ¡°This is astonishing. I didn¡¯t expect this kind of grass to have such an effect. To be able to turn the Gobi Desert into a lawn, what kind of plant is this?¡± Zhao Yao asked.


    Her eyes were full of surprise, and she was also clearly shocked by the sight of the grassland.


    ¡°These are sandy ryegrass. This plant is quite good. It has a super-strong root system and its roots can grow metres underground to absorb water,¡± Ye Heng said with a smile. ¡°But there is a problem. When it grows into a seedling and sprouts, it must have enough water.¡±


    At this moment, most of the ryegrass was half the height of a person¡¯s calf.


    Not only that, if one were to dig down, they would be surprised to find that some of the sand had condensed into something like a block.


    In other words, this desert would turn from scattered sand into the sand.


    If there was sufficient precipitation, this piece of land might even turn into fertile soil, to be used as a lawn or land for cultivation.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, wouldn¡¯t we be making a lot of money?¡±


    ¡°This is equivalent to taking advantage of the situation and directly obtaining countless lawns. Even if we don¡¯t do anything, we can still make a net profit of over a billion just by selling the lawns.¡±


    Zhao Yao was extremely shocked.


    One had to know that this city was known to be a livestock city.


    The surrounding lawns were all monopolized by important milk companies.


    The annual rent they paid to the government was a lot of money.


    That was why they could become an important milk supplier in all of China. They could even unscrupulously reduce the quality of the milk because of their monopoly.


    As for the type of ryegrass they were seeing now, it was a very top-grade forage grass.


    If they were to sell it, the value was simply astronomical.


    ¡°Only a few billion? Is this a joke? Do you think I¡¯m a beggar? After all, these lands will be the foundation for our company.¡± Ye Heng¡¯s expression was very calm.


    After all, the three products launched by the company under his name had shocking daily sales.


    Not to mention the benefits it brought to him.


    It was only a few billion.


    In about half a year, they would be able to recoup all their losses.


    When the time came, he would use ryegrass to completely cover the land. Then, he would plant an insect catcher tree from a distance. At that time, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about all kinds of pests.


    After all, the tree would directly devour the pests and use them as nutrients.


    After the desert was completely turned into an oasis, Ye Heng would transform this soil into a cultivation base for Cosmic Planting to grow.


    The ryegrass was not at its mature stage yet.


    In a few days, this patch of ryegrass would completely mature and could be recycled.


    As for what they had said, when they bought in the pastures, it could also be harvested for a high value.


    Finally, they could cover the desert in front of them with whatever green land they currently had.


    In the end, they could ensure that all the land they controlled was planted with ryegrass.


    There was one evident thing: if Ye Heng succeeded in planting ryegrass, it would be equivalent to promoting the economic development of the entire region.


    With their company here, they could even increase the region¡¯s overall income.


    ¡°Alright, everyone can take a look at the green fruits of our Cosmic Planting.¡±


    Meihua took some photos and then shared them on her various social media platforms. Even Fast Fish¡¯s Tingting¡¯s live broadcast room wasn¡¯t spared.


    Just one photo immediately led to an outburst of reactions from the netizens.


    Not only that, the people were all shocked about it.


    A number of them were discussing this matter, causing many people in China to gradually understand this matter.


    ¡°Is this a brainless act? Didn¡¯t they say that Cosmic Planting only rented that desert a few days ago? Even if they wanted to take credit, they wouldn¡¯t have posted it so quickly, right?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I feel that this photo must be photoshopped. Not only that, it¡¯s done to an extremely fake level.¡±


    ¡°I agree. After all, this is considered a great prairie, how can it be a desert?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I agree. I didn¡¯t expect this fellow to be an anti-fan.¡±


    ¡°Is someone else purposely trying to frame Cosmic Planting?¡±


    The netizens of this era weren¡¯t that easy to fool.


    In an instant, they started discussing the photo.


    Similarly, due to the popularity of this photo, it was evident that many people were supporting Cosmic Planting.


    Of course, some people stirred up trouble and were caught.


    These people were directly blocked in the comments section.


    ¡°Host, can you send me the address? I want to go to this patch of grass to play.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this place looks very suitable for marriage proposals.¡±


    ¡°Good guy, you are a direct enemy of those who are single.¡±


    ¡°But this one doesn¡¯t seem to have any traces of being photoshopped. Also, the grass here seems to be real!¡±


    Meihua didn¡¯t pay any attention to these people.


    Regarding the comments posted in the forum, some of them were good, some were bad, others were full of sarcasm, doubtful or expressing incomprehension.


    There were also some comments made by people who had supported Cosmic Planting Company before and at this moment, they were raising their doubts.


    They weren¡¯t even willing to take the initiative to help explain.


    As for Meihua, she completely ignored these comments and didn¡¯t reply to them.


    After all, the young girl¡¯s mind was still a little scheming.


    She wanted to see these people who had originally added insult to injury or had the mentality to just sit by the side and not do anything, eat their words in the end.


    And she wanted her boss to have the honour of making these people do that..

 Chapter 34 - The Changing World

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    If that was the case, it made her excited.


    After all, the boss of their Cosmic Planting Company was a very powerful person.


    He was also the strongest person she had ever met.


    Of course, at this moment, Yun Ma took a plane and directly came here.


    Song Dali personally drove over to receive his boss.


    After a long wait, he finally saw Yun Ma coming out of the airport.


    ¡°Hello, Boss Yun.¡± Song Dali waved his hand, and Yun Ma also saw Song Dali. He and his assistant walked towards him.


    Finally, the three of them got into the car.


    The bodyguards behind them were driving in the car, secretly protecting them.


    Who asked this Boss Yun to be so rich now.


    He could request bodyguards to protect himself.


    It was unknown whether he was worried about his safety or his money.


    Then, they drove to the five-star hotel that they had booked in advance.


    ¡°Boss Yun, do you want to order some special services tonight?¡± Song Dali laughed.


    The relationship between the two of them was quite good, so he could say such things.


    Otherwise, if it were anyone else, Boss Yun would say that he was ignorant.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop with the pleasantries. I¡¯m not here to have fun. My main purpose is to take a look at the current situation of Cosmic Planting Company,¡± Yun Ma waved his hand.


    ¡°Alright, I know.¡± Song Dali was very clear about Yun Ma¡¯s thinking.


    After all, he would not get up early if there were no benefits. He would do whatever was beneficial to him.


    If he encountered his competitors, he would also take a look.


    Furthermore, he started at the bottom and had climbed up from there, so he was still quite down-to-earth, at least in terms of his work.


    ¡°Boss Yun, I have to tell you something.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m surprised that this company can grow lawns in the desert.¡±


    ¡°Moreograss on it seems to be real, and it won¡¯t be swept away by the wind and sand.¡±


    When he talked about this company, Song Dali was very shocked.


    After all, he was currently in charge of the public welfare forest.


    As a graduate student majoring in plants at a prestigious university abroad, he has seen many types of research and experiments.


    However, to his surprise, there was such a greening method.


    It was an eye-opener for him as this method broke away from conventions, making him a little suspicious of what he had learnt previously in school.


    ¡°It¡¯s shocking. In just a few days, he was able to turn the desert into an oasis.¡± Yun Ma was clearly in disbelief and was amazed by what he heard.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. The desert they have now is near to our desert. I only looked over and found countless ryegrass. Moreover, it¡¯s not the kind that is about to die.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t understand why ryegrass can still survive in a place like the Gobi Desert.¡± Song Dali was shocked.


    ¡°I understand now. I didn¡¯t expect this company to be so powerful. In such a short period, they have developed a new type of ryegrass that is suitable for living in the desert.¡± Yun Ma suddenly laughed.


    However, to anyone, planting grass in the desert felt like a fantasy.


    Normally, anyone with a brain wouldn¡¯t want to believe such a thing.


    But this Cosmic Planting was able to create things that were beyond logic.


    It was equivalent to announcing to the world that their previous thinking was wrong.


    In other words, what everyone in the world thought was impossible had been accomplished by them.


    It could be considered a miracle.


    ¡°No wonder they rented so many deserts this time and signed the contract with the highest annual salary.¡±


    ¡°If they have this kind of technology, then there¡¯s a reason why they are renting so many lands. After all, with this technology alone, they can make a lot of money by selling grass and land.¡±


    Song Dali spoke.


    ¡°Therefore, we still have to be careful and vigilant. We need to make some preparations. Let¡¯s go and rest for the night.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow, we¡¯ll go to their grassland to take a look. Also, can you help me introduce the boss of their company?¡±


    Yun Ma laughed and said.


    ¡°Boss Yun, to be honest, I also want to see who this person is. After all, the public welfare plan that he made us prepare before has all gone down the drain.¡±


    ¡°But even though it¡¯s like this, I¡¯m somewhat grateful to them. After all, they¡¯ve greened this Gobi Desert. In the future, there¡¯s still the possibility of turning it into grassland and an oasis.¡± Song Dali instantly laughed.


    When Yun Ma heard these words, he became even more curious about this boss and wanted to see him immediately. He couldn¡¯t wait to go to that so-called desert to take a look.


    After all, this kind of grassland would become the company¡¯s planting base in the future.


    It was equivalent to the company¡¯s foundation in the future.


    How could the famous Yun Ma not be curious?


    ¡­


    However, compared to him, the first person to receive this notice was the commanding officer of this area, Gao Miaomiao.


    Moreover, it had to be said that among everyone, she paid more attention to the Cosmic Planting Company.


    After all, she needed to take care of the various companies in her area.


    At first, she thought that this boss was playing around on purpose.


    However, she soon realized that this boss was actually becoming more and more aggressive, and after some time, he directly sent the news that the greening had been completed.


    Gao Miaomiao couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed.


    ¡°This is nonsense. How could they have planted a lawn in these few days?¡±


    ¡°Officer Gao, I have to say that this news is indeed true.¡±


    ¡°Even if we don¡¯t want to believe it, they did do it. They even announced it to the world, and there was a photo to prove it.¡±


    ¡°Even those companies that were just on-lookers were shocked to find themselves slapped in the face. So, sir, they did it.¡± The assistant standing next to her said earnestly.


    Although he didn¡¯t believe it at first.


    But when he went to the scene and saw it, he could only sigh in amazement.


    And he completely believed everything in front of him.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped. There was no way to lie about that kind of solid grass.


    This kind of desert had become an oasis.


    Moreover, this desert was rented to this Cosmic Planting Company by the government.


    So the current commanding officer had to accept this fact..

 Chapter 35 - They Were Completely Shocked

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°This is nonsense. Even the emperor himself couldn¡¯t turn an entire desert into an oasis in just a few days.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s that easy to turn a desert into an oasis, then the deserts in the world will not continue to expand and the area of land that can be planted in our country can be increased,¡± Gao Miaomiao said with a cold smile.


    ¡°Sir, it¡¯s useless for you to say it now, or it¡¯s better if you see it for yourself?¡± The assistant was still trying to persuade her.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll go over and see what kind of tricks these people are playing. I don¡¯t want to make my presence known yet. There are still people who deliberately play tricks on the government. They purposely came up with fraudulent investments and then absconded the funds and escaped.¡± Gao Miaomiao¡¯s expression was very calm.


    Almost at the same time, this officer brought her assistant and rushed to the desert area.


    Of course, Boss Yun was also rushing in the same direction.


    Not only the two big shots, but the other greening companies also sent representatives to see the results.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s a joke to get a lawn in less than a week.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, they probably bought plastic lawns.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m dying of laughter. If they¡¯re willing to spend so much money to buy plastic lawns, they might lose so much that they don¡¯t even have underwear.¡±


    ¡°Forgive me for being blunt, but they¡¯re more or less brainless!¡±


    Many of the company¡¯s employees laughed out loud when they heard the news.


    Even the higher-ups had contemptuous looks on their faces.


    In their world, they had never thought that there would be such a powerful seed.


    Therefore, they were convinced that this was a trick to deceive children.


    Even the local reporters went directly to this planting area.


    No one wanted to miss the latest news.


    It was also at this time that many people came, causing more people to once again pay attention to Cosmic Planting.


    Even if Cosmic Planting was considered to have a certain level of success and had some popularity, it was limited to only a few people.


    This was probably because Ye Heng did not spend a lot of money on promotion.


    However, this time, they would let the whole world know about Cosmic Planting.


    Wind and sand were everywhere in the desert, so the desert will continue to expand.


    However, the grass that Ye Heng had grown was in a festive mode.


    That¡¯s right, if one could see green in the desert, it was a festive existence.


    At this moment, Boss Yun was sitting in a black car.


    He was able to see that amidst the endless yellow Gobi desert in front of him, there were spots of green in it.


    This was the result of their company¡¯s greening.


    One must admit that their company¡¯s results were quite good.


    If they were given another generation¡¯s time, they might even be able to create more than 100 mu of land.


    If it was used as a defence mechanism, it could reduce desert erosion to a certain extent.


    Seeing Song Dali¡¯s work, Yun Ma was somewhat satisfied and nodded his head.


    However, after 15 minutes, when he saw the grass planted by Cosmic Planting, he was completely shocked.


    ¡°What? I don¡¯t believe it. How can this be true?¡±


    Even before he came, he had already been given a warning.


    However, he still felt that it was an exaggeration.


    However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was indeed completely shocked.


    He only saw endless green grass, and even under the light from the blazing sun, there were no signs of withering.


    It was completely different from his own company¡¯s public welfare forest that he had seen earlier.


    These two could not be compared.


    His public welfare forest was about to wither.


    Compared to Cosmic Planting¡¯s grassland, it was almost like trash.


    There were so many grasslands that it seemed as if they were in the prairie of inner Mongolia.


    They couldn¡¯t even believe that they were in the desert.


    After their cars stopped, everyone walked to the grasslands.


    Yun Ma was even more stunned.


    ¡°It¡¯s too shocking.¡±


    ¡°You have to know that ryegrass is probably used to feed cows and horses. It¡¯s the best type of grass.¡±


    ¡°But this place is full of ryegrass!¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the conditions required to grow this kind of grass are very harsh?¡±


    ¡°The temperature, humidity and soil all have very high requirements.¡±


    Song Dali muttered to himself.


    ¡°How can this be successfully planted?¡±


    Not to mention the Gobi Desert, even ordinary soil couldn¡¯t grow this kind of grass.


    After all, its requirements were too high.


    If he didn¡¯t see it and touch it, he would never believe that it was real.


    As for Gao Miaomiao, the commanding officer who came here, she was even more dumbfounded after witnessing it with her own eyes.


    She even wondered if she was in a dream?


    Or maybe she woke up in the wrong way?


    ¡°Damn, I didn¡¯t expect that it wasn¡¯t a dream.¡±


    ¡°These are real.¡±


    Gao Miaomiao even touched the grass with her hands.


    She could smell the scent of the grass.


    When she pried open the grass, she found that the soil was still dry.


    The roots of the ryegrass had all gone deep into the soil.


    ¡°Sir, look, I was right. These people have such technology, so I think the contract price we gave him before is too low.¡±


    The assistant spoke.


    ¡°Hehe, if you have his technology, I can sell it to you at a lower price than before.¡±


    ¡°With such technology, even if it¡¯s not in our area, they can still create their future. But if they don¡¯t want to stay here, they can still go somewhere else.¡±


    ¡°Do you think the long-term benefits in the future are not high?¡±


    Unlike some corrupt officials, Gao Miaomiao¡¯s family were all officials.


    They all had a strong view of the overall picture.


    So Gao Miaomiao¡¯s perspective on things was different from ordinary people.


    She had already witnessed the high level of technology that this company had.


    So she didn¡¯t think she was at a disadvantage.


    After all, when such technology became widespread, more and more people would realize that the desert could be a business opportunity.


    There would even be people willing to cooperate with them.


    At that time, the area under her control would be able to speed up its development, and it would not be inferior to those first-tier cities.


    Even if the price was lower than before, she was still willing to sell the right to use it.


    Even if she didn¡¯t charge them any taxes, she was still willing to keep the company.


    After all, with their current technology, it could be seen that the potential of this company was very strong.


    It could even become a magnate in China.


    If they valued short-term interests but ignored long-term benefits, it would be like picking sesame but losing a watermelon.


    Therefore, Gao Miaomiao was a little unhappy..

 Chapter 36 - Shocking the Media

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°The lawn here is really good. You can plant it at home. It¡¯s very suitable for playing golf,¡± said Yun Ma.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect you to come, Boss Yun.¡±


    Gao Miaomiao was suddenly a little surprised and turned to look.


    Then, she saw the big entrepreneur, Yun Ma.


    ¡°So it¡¯s officer Gao. I have to congratulate you. Soon, your area will become a place where entrepreneurs gather,¡± Yun Ma said with a smile.


    ¡°No, no. These companies don¡¯t even add up to yours. Your group is amazing,¡± Gao Miaomiao said with a smile.


    ¡°What are you talking about? But our group will participate.¡±


    ¡°Sure. If your group is willing to invest, we will welcome you.¡± Gao Miaomiao smiled.


    While the two of them were talking, other companies had arrived at the venue. They were completely stunned by what they saw.


    ¡°F*ck, this is simply fake.¡±


    It was just a few days, but Cosmic Planting was able to transform the Gobi desert into an oasis.


    No matter how one looked at it, it was like a miracle.


    But the reporters were all crazily taking photos as they rushed to publicize the news as soon as possible.


    This time, Ye Heng¡¯s technology had amazed many.


    All the major news media were reporting about him.


    Not only the print media, but even the online media all sent reporters to conduct exclusive interviews.


    Even some well-known websites¡¯ home pages were filled with information about the achievements of greening in this area.


    Some of the advertisements on mobile phone apps were showing the lawn of this area.


    In just a short day, the number of views of many media outlets were increasing.


    There were even some astute self-media people who succeeded in writing articles with 100,000 views or even millions of views.


    Even tabloids which were famous for bombastic headlines gave them positive recognition while reporting about them.


    Not only that but there were also many photos and detailed descriptions.


    Including the official Chinese media, they also wrote a report praising them.


    Originally, only a few people knew about Cosmic Planting, but in an instant, it became a top-class existence.


    In other words, they were making themselves known outside of their fixed circle.


    Even on the major social media platforms of Meihua, many people came to apologize to her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry that we misunderstood you earlier on.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I didn¡¯t expect Cosmic Planting Company to be so brilliant.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, to be able to turn the desert into an oasis, it¡¯s really powerful.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, look at what a company that truly does things for the people is. Such a company doesn¡¯t exploit people, instead, it benefits them.¡±


    ¡°I agree with what the person above said. This company is my eternal idol.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a local. I¡¯m really surprised to discover that in just one night, the desert has turned into a lawn.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s amazing. I want to see how they changed this.¡±


    As for the live broadcast room, there were many more followers.


    There were even many people who had prepared their luggage and planned to go directly to the place itself.


    As for those who had bought related products, they felt prouder than ever.


    ¡°Not bad. I can go to the grassland to travel soon.¡±


    Tingting was indeed in high spirits as she laughed in the live broadcast room.


    She would be the first one to go. Her fans weren¡¯t fast enough for her.


    ¡°Streamer, please go to the place and do your live broadcast.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we will always follow you.¡±


    ¡°All the best, take care of yourself!¡±


    ¡°Because of the financial constraints, I can¡¯t go to the scene personally. But I¡¯ll still give you a tip. It will be like I am going with you.¡±


    ¡°Person upstairs, wait, bring me along.¡±


    In the capital of China.


    At the Agricultural University.


    Professor Li Jing wanted some students to be willing to go directly to the desert with him to establish a new laboratory.


    However, these students only heard the news and expressed their unwillingness.


    There were even many students that he valued very much.


    Some of the students who were from rural areas were not agreeable.


    Seeing these young people who kept rejecting him, Li Jing was disappointed.


    In China, there were very few companies that would take the initiative to invest in the establishment of laboratories for the school professors.


    However, once they did so, it would be very helpful for scholars to carry out in-depth research.


    When Professor Li Jing harboured no hope for his students, he was shocked to see a piece of news.


    The Cosmic Planting had succeeded in greening the desert.


    ¡°The Cosmic Planting has completely turned the desert into an oasis?¡±


    These students were completely shocked.


    When they thought of the matter that the professor had mentioned before, they immediately connected the two pieces of news that seemed unrelated to each other.


    They suddenly felt that they should go to the Cosmic Planting Company to take a look.


    Professor Li Jing, who was very concerned about Cosmic Planting, was even more surprised. He was extremely curious about the results of such a greening project.


    He even planned to go there immediately to take a look at the specific research results.


    However, it was on the second day that he received an invitation from all the students.


    These people were all willing to accompany him to the desert.


    After all, they had all seen the news about how the desert was turned into an oasis.


    They would not be willing to go to a desert due to its harsh environment.


    But if Cosmic Planting could change the desert, they would be willing to go.


    ¡°Very good, this time Cosmic Planting Company has truly done a great deed. Only then can it be considered to be worthy of our country and the people.¡± Li Jing¡¯s expression was incomparably excited.


    ¡­.

 Chapter 37 - Solving the Funding Problem

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Cosmic Planting became famous throughout China.


    Ye Heng was also discovered by Yun Ma and Gao Miaomiao.


    If their company was not so famous, he wouldn¡¯t have been interviewed, nor be surrounded by people.


    Even by companies such as Mengniu.


    After seeing the countless ryegrass, they were completely shocked.


    They were in the farming industry and what they needed most was this kind of excellent forage grass.


    To them, the value was high, and it was even a necessity.


    To guarantee quality production, they needed forage grass to feed the cows.


    But now, their pasture was scarce, so they couldn¡¯t guarantee the supply.


    However, if Cosmic Planting was willing to sell it, they would go crazy with joy.


    The other companies all wanted to find out how Cosmic Planting would deal with this situation.


    Greening the desert was very powerful in the entire country and even the entire world.


    China had always spent a lot of money to treat the desert.


    There was also the public welfare forest.


    All in all, it was worth billions of dollars a year.


    Cosmic Planting¡¯s ability was very strong and its sales results were very high. They only spent 400 million dollars and succeeded in greening the deserts, and there were many economic benefits.


    The latest species of grass was also very good.


    Thus, many people¡¯s eyes were all focused on this place, as well as on Ye Heng.


    The Cosmic Planting Company was becoming more and more famous and even became a benchmark existence.


    But at this time, Ye Heng was somewhat distressed because of the funds.


    After all, his current funds were still somewhat lacking. In the process of greening the desert, he had spent several hundred million, and there was no working capital.


    His current capital shortfall was at least a few billion dollars.


    For example, his company¡¯s office building, as well as the dormitory building for the employees and the laboratory that Professor Li needed.


    Therefore, he was still short on capital at hand.


    For the sake of the company¡¯s future development, he had to make a decision.


    ¡°Ye Heng, why don¡¯t we transfer the grassland that has been reformed to someone else?¡±


    ¡°After all, we still have a long time and such a large area of land.¡±


    ¡°If we sell it, we can at least increase the price by ten times.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, after we have the money, we can get more land from the government for greening.¡±


    ¡°This way, we can solve the urgent problem at hand.¡±


    At this time, Zhao Yao made a suggestion.


    ¡°It can be sold for several billion?¡± When Meihua heard this, she was stunned.


    She was completely shocked by such a high amount of money.


    She didn¡¯t expect the company to have so much power. Not only that, but it also had a lot of capital.


    ¡°The ryegrass in the land is almost mature.¡±


    ¡°Besides, if we don¡¯t have money, we can¡¯t take the initiative to sell the land. This is the foundation of our company.¡±


    ¡°After all, this is the farmland that we have prepared in advance for the company. If we invest in other places to modify it, it will take a lot of time.¡±


    ¡°Instead of selling the land that is on the surface of the desert, we might as well sell the products directly.¡±


    ¡°In addition, the soil in the depths of the desert will take time to transform, including irrigation. These costs will continue to rise.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good choice to sell the land that has been reformed.¡±


    Ye Heng¡¯s words were very reasonable.


    ¡°Therefore, Zhao Yao, don¡¯t be anxious for now.¡±


    ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, we can sell the seeds as our latest product.¡±


    ¡°In that case, the funds obtained should be enough for us to use.¡±


    Hearing Ye Heng¡¯s confident words, Zhao Yao suddenly felt somewhat confident.


    She immediately said with a smile.


    ¡°Okay, what you said is very reasonable. Let¡¯s do as you say.¡±


    ¡°Besides, we bought the land from the government at a low price last time. This time, we won¡¯t be able to repeat our success.¡±


    ¡°So if we sell the seeds directly, we should be able to earn a few hundred million.¡±


    Hearing Zhao Yao¡¯s words, Ye Heng laughed out loud.


    ¡°Then you¡¯re thinking too little.¡±


    ¡°How can our seeds be sold at such a low price!¡±


    ¡°I plan to sell the sandy ryegrass that was developed this time for 100,000 yuan per catty.¡±


    Ye Heng¡¯s words were full of confidence.


    ¡°It¡¯s so expensive.¡± Zhao Yao, who was standing at the same spot, was shocked.


    ¡°Think carefully about it.¡±


    ¡°Previously, our company was selling potted plants. It was only a few tens of yuan per pot.¡±


    ¡°But now, if we sell it by the catty, it¡¯s already very cheap.¡±


    According to Ye Heng¡¯s thinking, if it was just an acre of land, it would cost about half a catty of seeds.


    In the province where he currently lived, there was also a large number of deserts.


    Some specialized in the farming industry, as well as some large livestock families.


    The combined demand of these people was estimated to be able to buy a few million catty of seeds in one go.


    In the short term, he could get at least a few billion.


    If all of China were to plant sandy ryegrass, in a year, he could get tens of billions..

 Chapter 38 - Yun Ma Came to Visit

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    After all, this kind of top-grade sandy ryegrass could be considered a grade 1 seed.


    Just like the super lettuce from before, it had a very powerful value.


    ¡°Yes, not bad. If we directly sell the seed, we don¡¯t need to cultivate it. If we directly express deliver it to others, it¡¯s not a bad idea.¡±


    Zhao Yao nodded, indicating that she agreed with his idea.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, ryegrass can indeed be grown outdoors.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not possible to sell it at the same price as normal potted vegetables.¡±


    Normal fruits and vegetables could not be sold like this.


    After all, normal families would not buy in large quantities, and they did not have enough land to grow.


    Moreover, if they were bought by the catty, the price would be much lower.


    However, after he knew that they would get working capital, Zhao Yao immediately smiled.


    In Zhao Yao¡¯s opinion, their company would have great achievements in the future.


    ¡°Boss, Officer Gao and Boss Yun would like to meet you.¡±


    At this moment, Ye Heng¡¯s assistant, Meihua, spoke.


    ¡°It¡¯s Boss Yun of the Ant Group. I didn¡¯t expect such a capable person to come.¡±


    ¡°Meihua, make them some tea now.¡±


    He was mentally prepared for Gao Miaomiao to come over.


    However, the Ant Group¡¯s boss coming over made Ye Heng a little surprised.


    Even though his own company was pretty good, in front of Boss Yun¡¯s group, it was like an ant and an elephant.


    The gap between the two was too great.


    Not to mention the vast difference between the company¡¯s achievements and assets.


    Not long after, a man and a woman walked over.


    The man looked a little thin and had good eyesight, but the woman was dressed in professional attire. She was obviously very capable.


    When Ye Heng saw them, he immediately stood up and smiled.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the two of you to come. I am really surprised.¡±


    ¡°No, no. Boss Ye, your company is doing well. I really want to see you.¡±


    Yun Ma smiled very cordially.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Uncle to come.¡± Zhao Yao immediately laughed.


    When Yun Ma heard this, he was a little surprised. He turned his head and saw Zhao Yao.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my niece to come.¡±


    ¡°Why are you here too?¡±


    Zhao Yao said, ¡°Because I happen to be the general manager of this company.¡±


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. You¡¯re really young and promising.¡± Yun Ma was obviously a shrewd person. He turned his head to look at Ye Heng with a playful look.


    However, Ye Heng didn¡¯t know what he was thinking.


    ¡°Zhao Yao, did you two know each other before?¡± Ye Heng was a little puzzled.


    ¡°My father is close to him.¡± Zhao Yao said.


    ¡°Wait, did you guys forget that there¡¯s another person here?¡± Gao Miaomiao suddenly felt a little resentful.


    ¡°No, no, no. Officer Gao, please have some tea.¡± Ye Heng smiled and brought the tea to Gao Miaomiao.


    When Gao Miaomiao saw him, she stopped throwing a tantrum and directly took it.


    However, after taking a sip, she said with some dissatisfaction.


    ¡°I still think that since you¡¯ve earned so much money, you should at least enjoy life a bit.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the quality of the tea given to the guests is not that good.¡±


    Yun Ma said, ¡°This tea is indeed quite ordinary. I¡¯ll give you some Da Hong Pao from Mount Wuyi some other day.¡±


    After Ye Heng heard the words of these two people, he was a little unconvinced. He silently thought to himself, ¡°I will go and modify some tea trees, by then I¡¯ll let you have a taste of better tea.¡±


    ¡°Are the two of you here to discuss greening the desert?¡± Ye Heng asked.


    He was not surprised that this high-ranking officer would come, but the boss of the Ant Group must have come to see their achievements.


    After all, they were responsible for planting the public welfare forests here, but Ye Heng¡¯s company had climbed up the corporate ladder quite suddenly.


    To the extent that the boss of Ant Group was interested in meeting him.


    ¡°Not bad. I have been paying attention to your company for a long time. I have bought all your products.¡±


    ¡°It seems that this time, you have also come up with new plants that can be planted in the desert,¡± Yun Ma said with a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Ye Heng nodded.


    ¡°Sigh, I didn¡¯t expect that I would be deceived by a rascal like you.¡±


    ¡°Our region has lost hundreds of millions of dollars all of a sudden,¡± Gao Miaomiao said, looking a little dissatisfied.


    Ye Heng also felt a little awkward when he heard her words.


    Therefore, Zhao Yao immediately refuted.


    ¡°That¡¯s not it. When we signed the contract, didn¡¯t you guys still mock us for spending money casually?¡±


    Both of them were beautiful so to see them face off each other could be considered pleasing to the eyes.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t joke with you guys anymore.¡±


    ¡°You guys can successfully green the desert. To me, it¡¯s indeed great.¡±


    ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll sell all the remaining desert to you guys. Don¡¯t worry, the price will be the same as before.¡± Gao Miaomiao smiled.


    ¡°No need. The land we currently rent is enough to last for more than ten years.¡±


    ¡°Let other companies invest in the rest of the desert.¡± Ye Heng waved his hand to signal that he was not interested in her proposal.


    ¡°But these companies don¡¯t have the same superb technology as you, so there¡¯s no need.¡± Gao Miaomiao shook her head.


    ¡°If they have our new product, they can turn the desert into an oasis easily,¡± Ye Heng said confidently.


    Gao Miaomiao was indeed stunned.


    ¡°Yes, our company developed the product. Although it needs a certain amount of irrigation in the early stage, as long as it successfully sprouts, it can automatically extract water on its own.¡±


    ¡°In other words, with these seeds, any desert can become an oasis,¡± Ye Heng said and showed the detailed information to the two people.


    Sandy ryegrass only needed about ten days to grow successfully.


    It was resistant to the barren soil. On the contrary, after three years of growth, it would become fertile soil.


    In addition, this plant had a very high nutritional value and could be used as fodder.


    ¡°If this information of yours is true, it¡¯s really amazing,¡± Gao Miaomiao was shocked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If you need it, you can buy more. After all, this type of ryegrass is not particular about the quality of the soil. As long as you give me 100,000 yuan, I can sell one catty to you.¡±


    ¡°You actually want so much money? This is robbery.¡± Gao Miaomiao was shocked.


    One had to know that even if it was high-quality grass seeds from abroad, one catty cost at most 10 yuan.


    But he¡¯s selling it for 100,000 yuan.


    That¡¯s 10,000 times the difference..

 Chapter 39 - Mengniu and Other Companies Came

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    ¡°First of all, the growth period of grass seeds like ours is very short. We can harvest more than 30 times a year.¡±


    ¡°In addition, by planting one catty of seeds, we can harvest tens of thousands of catties of grass in three mu of land.¡±


    ¡°Because our quality is much better than other grass seeds, we can use this ryegrass to raise animals and improve their meat quality.¡±


    ¡°Lastly, their greening ability is also very strong. They can turn the desert into an oasis. Don¡¯t you think they¡¯re worth this amount?¡± Ye Heng was resolute.


    ¡°I think this seed is very good. It¡¯s worth the price given its advantages.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s good grass, naturally the price will also be very high. It¡¯s not bad.¡±


    ¡°So our company doesn¡¯t mind making the first move.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s buy about 100 catties of it first. As for its effects, we shall wait and see,¡± Yun Ma said with a smile.


    It seemed that he intended to buy the seeds to green their own company¡¯s public welfare forest.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you a 20% discount. I hope we can have more collaborations in the future.¡±


    Their Ant Group was big after all. Many people were watching their every move.


    Therefore, this could be considered as an advertising gimmick for their company.


    ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll just wait for Ant Group to successfully green their desert land. When that time comes, the number of people who will buy it will probably be even higher.¡± Zhao Yao smiled.


    ¡°You guys can earn a lot of money this way.¡± Gao Miaomiao rolled her eyes.


    However, she was very clear that if they could turn the desert into an oasis, as the government, they would have to give their full support.


    In the future, the economy of their region could be improved rapidly. They could even attract investment and accelerate the development of the city.


    After they left, the office became lively again. Many company heads came in to ask about the greening of the desert.


    Ye Heng directly asked Zhao Yao to place their company¡¯s official website in front of the company.


    In this way, he could also let these people see the new products that they had launched.


    After all, they didn¡¯t spend much for promotion and mainly relied on the sales of the seeds.


    The company was developing well now, but their office building was still rented as they didn¡¯t have the money to build their office building.


    Therefore, the popularity of the company¡¯s office building wasn¡¯t high at the moment.


    However, Ye Heng was not in a hurry. As long as he could wait until he got back his capital, he could build a new office building.


    After these grass plants were popularized and a large number of funds were put into the treasury, he could start building dormitories and provide other benefits for his employees.


    Although after going public, he could expand his assets, he did not want his company to be controlled by others, or even used against the country.


    So for now, it was better to forget about this matter.


    ¡°Boss, the regional managers of the two livestock companies are here. Do you want to meet them?¡± Meihua asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s Mengniu. Are there any other milk companies?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to finally come. Sure, let¡¯s meet them then.¡± Ye Heng smiled.


    After hearing Ye Heng¡¯s words, Meihua immediately brought a few people over.


    ¡°Excuse me, are you the boss of Cosmic Planting, Ye Heng?¡±


    The person who came over shook his hand.


    However, when they saw that Ye Heng was still very young, they were all a little surprised.


    ¡°Compared to your companies, our company is considered small,¡± Ye Heng said humbly.


    ¡°Yes, we are here on behalf of our two milk companies. Our purpose is to ask you how you will sell your ryegrass.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if possible, we would like to buy about 200 catties of ryegrass seeds from you.¡±


    ¡°This will also be convenient for our future cooperation.¡±


    After all, this ryegrass had many benefits compared to other forage grass, furthermore, they were of solid quality. They had seen the grass with their own eyes.


    ¡°Okay, we don¡¯t have much use for the ryegrass at the moment. The current ryegrass is already mature, but I have to tell you that one mu of land will cost you two thousand yuan. I will directly contract it to you.¡±


    Ye Heng told them. He wanted the company to be in charge of the next two days of transportation and harvesting.


    In this way, it was equivalent to Ye Heng securing a good deal.


    However, this forage grass could also allow their cows to produce better milk.


    They could also compete for more shares in the market.


    Therefore, for them, there were no disadvantages.


    The current grass could improve the quality of meat, but now the Chinese people could not afford to buy expensive beef and mutton.


    However, milk was different. The entire series of milk products were very good in China.


    After hearing Ye Heng¡¯s offer, Mengniu Company hesitated and only planned to buy the seeds.


    His other competitor directly ordered Ye Heng to harvest the seeds.


    After consulting his superior, he immediately signed a contract with Ye Heng.


    However, he still needed to wait for another half a month before he could let these people realize the power of the seeds.


    By that time, they would reach new heights and increase the profits of the entire company.


    Even though this seed was too powerful, its selling price was still a little high. As such, some people were a little sceptical.


    However, there were still some people who were always bold and as the saying goes, ¡°nothing ventured, nothing gained ¡°. You would not be able to achieve anything if you don¡¯t take risks, hence they were willing to take a shot.


    Of course, they would reap the benefits that they deserved.


    ¡°It¡¯s just an ordinary grass seed, and it costs 100,000 yuan.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s practically robbing a bank.¡±


    After hearing the exorbitant price of the grass seed, many small companies were very shocked, and they even started cursing suspiciously.


    Some medium-sized companies, such as Mengniu Company, bought their seeds to carry out experiments.


    Of course, they didn¡¯t have the guts to buy too many seeds.


    But for companies like Ant Group, they bought a lot of seeds in one go and planned to use them to green their desert land.


    For large companies like them, they could immediately plant the seeds.


    Of course, many people were paying attention to what Ant Group was doing.


    It was as if they were watching a show and they hoped that Ant Group would suffer. This was the result that they were waiting for.


    ¡°Hello, viewers in the live broadcast room. Today, we have arrived at the desert where the Cosmic Planting Company is located.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone is very curious about what we saw on the live broadcast, but I think that many of you can guess what this is about.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Today, we are going to see the grassland that their company has successfully landscaped.¡±


    The live streamer Tingting had already arrived.


    However, her coming to this place was supported by many of her fans. Many of them hoped that she would be able to take a look at the grassland on their behalf.


    ¡°Next, I¡¯m going to take a taxi to the desert!¡±


    ¡°I wonder if there¡¯s a taxi driver who¡¯s willing to take me to the desert?¡±


    The streamer Tingting said playfully..

 Chapter 40 - Tingting Doing Live Broadcast in the Desert?

    Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    After hearing the streamer¡¯s words, the viewers in the live broadcast room gave her tips.


    ¡°Although we can¡¯t go to the scene personally, we can still give you some support.¡±


    The viewers in the live broadcast room were obviously very warm-hearted.


    ¡°Dear streamer, hurry up and go. I really want to see their new product.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, their official website has released the price of the new product, it costs 100,000 yuan per catty. I think this kind of product can only be bought by rich people.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. 100,000 yuan per catty of seeds can only be used to green the desert. But for us ordinary people, it¡¯s not worth it.¡±


    ¡°But it should be good. After all, it can turn the desert into an oasis. Maybe we can go to a grassland to play in the future.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I hope the price of beef and mutton can become lower.¡±


    ¡°I really want to eat beef hotpot and mutton hotpot.¡±


    ¡°This company is really not bad, they enable us to eat the vegetables we grow, and also help to lower the price of meat.¡±


    ¡°Looks like Cosmic Planting Company has put in thought into their products, and they also help to contribute to the country.¡±


    However, if Ye Heng heard these comments, he would probably not know whether to laugh or cry.


    After all, his initial intention was to plant his land.


    He did not have many considerations.


    While the people in the broadcast room were chatting, the live streamer, Tingting, had already found a taxi.


    ¡°Master, can you drive me to the desert? It¡¯s a company that can turn the desert into an oasis.¡± Tingting¡¯s voice was not loud.


    Obviously, she didn¡¯t have much hope.


    It was 300 km away from the city centre to the place where Cosmic Planting Company had carried out greening. It was a total of 300 km.


    In other words, the round trip fare was probably a thousand yuan.


    ¡°I can go, but our car has to be on a meter.¡± The driver said.


    ¡°Sure, please do, but just to let you know, I am doing a live broadcast. If you intentionally raise the price or do something bad, my friends will immediately call the police.¡±


    Tingting spoke, but this wasn¡¯t a threat. It was just for her protection.


    She was just a girl. If she didn¡¯t have so many fans on the internet and she was broadcasting live, she wouldn¡¯t dare to come to such a desolate place alone.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m a good citizen who obeys the law,¡± the driver said.


    Even so, before Tingting set off, she focused her camera at the driver¡¯s license plate number for her viewers in the broadcast room to see.


    Then, she got into the taxi and chatted with the driver along the way.


    Many companies had been coming over to the desert these days to see the results of Ye Heng¡¯s greening.


    Together with Ant Group, they had begun their greening.


    Hence, more and more people came.


    The taxi drivers in this area were very happy. After all, they could earn at least 500 yuan for a round trip.


    In that case, it would take eight to nine hours for a round trip.


    Fortunately, she had the live broadcast equipment and could chat with the netizens in the live broadcast room, so the streamer did not feel too bored.


    She was also very excited to be able to see the beautiful scenery of her motherland.


    Not long after, she saw a large group of people and all kinds of sprinklers sprinkling water into the desert.


    On the side, there were specks of green.


    ¡°My God, it looks better now. It seems that the grassland is going to be formed soon.¡± Tingting looked at the green in front of her in shock.


    ¡°Not bad, there are still many companies that are planning to contract the desert. After all, with the government¡¯s support, if they were to buy land, the price would be very cheap.¡±


    ¡°If I wasn¡¯t a local, I would even think that this is the prairie from Inner Mongolia .¡±


    ¡°The Cosmic Planting Company is really powerful, to actually be able to turn the desert into an oasis.¡±


    This old driver was very emotional.


    Tingting nodded, after all, she was also a fan of this company after the top-tier Tomato No. 1.


    ¡°Wait, wait and see, the grassland here is so green!¡±


    After hearing this voice, all the viewers in the broadcast room looked over.


    Their eyes saw a huge patch of green.


    ¡°Sir, please stop the car.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The taxi driver immediately parked the car in front of the grassland.


    Tingting rushed out excitedly and pounced on the large patch of grassland.


    ¡°It¡¯s very soft. The grass here is also very comfortable to walk on.¡± Tingting was excited.


    The viewers in the live broadcast room all saw the grass as it was in front of them.


    It could even be called a meadow.


    No wonder there was a poem that goes like this, ¡°The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass low, cattle and sheep appear.¡±.


    Tingting was very excited as she rolled on the grass.


    She only felt that the grass was very soft and was not spikey.


    ¡°Cosmic Planting is too awesome, it can actually turn the desert into an oasis.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, even on a real meadow, there can¡¯t be such powerful grass.¡±


    ¡°If all the deserts could be turned into an oasis, I would definitely go there personally to take a look.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute. As far as I know, this ryegrass is top-grade ryegrass.¡±


    ¡°If it was used specifically to raise cattle, it would definitely improve the quality of beef.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s really good. Then the price of meat will be lower in the future.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the new plants developed by these companies would have different important roles.¡±


    ¡°Good, I must buy their new products as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Their company is the light of China. We will support them.¡±


    A few days later, these people were stunned to see that a lawn had grown in the desert of Ant Group.


    Therefore, everyone who saw this scene was convinced.


    Yili, the milk company, was the most excited one.


    After all, not only did they harvest a lot of grass, but the quality of the milk produced by their cows was also much higher.


    In addition, the amount of milk produced was also very high.


    Then, Yili signed a contract with Ye Heng and ordered the seeds again.


    They were spending money at one go. The expenditure included costs of contracting the land contracting, irrigation and manpower for planting the seeds. it was indeed a huge sum of money.


    However, Yili¡¯s boss did not have a face of woe. Instead, he was full of confidence in this investment.


    He felt hopeful about the future and planned to buy more desert land.


    If he could turn the desert into an oasis, it would be even better than the Inner Mongolia steppe.


    When the other companies saw this situation, they immediately split up all the land.


    It could be said that the originally arid desert was instantly taken over by these companies.


    As for the capital city of China.


    In one particular office, a group of senior officials were gathered together and they looked extremely excited..
