LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 6 - Being Ripe in 12 Hours
Su Ming was stunned at that moment.
He had mentally prepared himself.
Mao Zhu might require about a week or two to reach maturity. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
However, he hadn't anticipated it reaching maturity within twelve hours.
The System's power was truly astonishing!
Su Ming stood in disbelief, his mouth agape.
The crops covering such an expansive piece of land could yield two harvests in a single day.
He might soon become the principal vegetable supplier in the entire city.
Furthermore, the produce cultivated on this land was certain to be of exceptional quality.
It was unexpected that despite his parents investing heavily to send him to a major city for education, he ended up as a farmer.
But farmers, too, could rake in substantial earnings.
Additionally, Su Ming swiftly realized that apart from vegetables, he could plant other items.
For instance, certain special plants with lengthy maturation periods.
Setting aside any other functionalities, the mere fact that this plot of land could significantly accelerate crop growth was enough for Su Ming to amass a fortune.
As Su Ming was lost in thought, he observed the seed he had recently planted sprouting.
The speed was astonishing!
“Host, you can boost crop output through watering and fertilization, or reduce the time needed for crops to ripen!”
The System's notification suddenly chimed in.
Su Ming felt elated and promptly fetched a bucket of water to irrigate the crops.
“Crop growth time reduced by one hour!”
“Crop ripening quality increased by 10%!”
Every time he watered the plants, a notification echoed. However, there was no alert when he watered them again. It appeared he could only water them at intervals.
Su Ming meticulously applied fertilizer, each time greeted by the sound of a notification.
After a whole afternoon of work, the sky was gradually dimming.
Su Ming stretched his body and washed his dirt-covered hands and feet. All he had to do now was wait for the crops to reach maturity.
Amid the rush hour, the streets bustled with white-collar workers donned in blue attire.
Finding a restaurant, Su Ming ordered a bowl of noodles and, in an unusually lavish manner, added a meat dish. He dug into his meal with hearty bites.
He didn't plan on returning to his rented house tonight.
On the farm, there stood a small thatched cottage where he could sleep at any time, allowing him to rise early and tend to the crops.
Yet, thoughts of the house made Su Ming scratch his head.
The rented place he used to inhabit was no longer suitable.
The rent wasn't cheap, and the living conditions were far from ideal.
Were it not for his cost-saving marriage, he wouldn't have settled for such a subpar dwelling.
However, that was all in the past.
After sating his hunger, he purchased some snacks and fruits before heading back to the thatched cottage. After fiddling with his phone for a bit, he slipped into a deep sleep.
In today's world, people often wrestled with insomnia due to stress and a lack of physical labor. Yet, after a day's work in the fields, how could one not sleep soundly?
When he awoke, dawn had already broken. In a sleepy daze, Su Ming grabbed his phone and checked the time.
It was already ten in the morning!
The crops had ripened long ago!
Su Ming jumped out of bed in a hurry. He didn't even bother washing his face before flinging open the door and dashing toward the field.
What would he find?
Su Ming's excitement knew no bounds!
From a distance, the plot still appeared as an empty space; there was no sign of the crops.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned, thinking he might be mistaken. But then, he recalled that the System probably orchestrated this.
After all, the crops maturing in a single day was astonishingly rapid. The System likely intervened to keep things discreet.
