Chapter 1059 - An Impossible Mission
An hour later, Lin Yi returned to Ji Qingyan’s office.
As the milk tea was already cold, he left it at Wang Ying’s place and only brought the glutinous rice ball back.
“You’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for a long time.
“You must have been so hungry.”
“I’m not fat, so it’s fine for me to eat more.” Ji Qingyan grinned.
At four in the afternoon, Ji Qingyan finished her work and packed her things before returning home with Lin Yi.
When they got home, Ji Qingyan fulfilled her promise and made four dishes and a soup for Lin Yi.
Her culinary skills had improved greatly. When compared to other home-cooked food, it was really not bad.
After dinner, Lin Yi did not go upstairs. Instead, he laid on Ji Qingyan’s lap and watched television in the living room.
They chatted about meaningless topics.
In the past, Lin Yi felt that such actions were a waste of time.
But now, he felt that it was a good thing to waste his life in such a way.
The next morning, Ji Qingyan took out the food from the previous night and heated it up. After eating, they each drove out to do their own things.
After driving to Happiness Village, Lin Yi couldn’t wait.
Although he had only been away for four to five days, the crops in the field seemed to have grown a lot taller.
In fact, many families had already harvested the crops they had planted in the greenhouse.
For people who farmed for a living, seeing this was joy.
After driving home, Lin Yi first went to the pigpen to check on the pig. He found that the pig was sleeping soundly, grinning as if it was having a nice dream.
It’s surprising to see a piglet dreaming like this, especially considering it was only three months old. Unfortunately, its future was limited to being livestock for meat.
Upon careful consideration, Lin Yi was certain that the pig had no future beyond being raised for meat. Judging by its current size, it wouldn’t be long before it was slaughtered for consumption.
Lin Yi took the water pipe and cleaned up the pigpen before going to the greenhouse.
Compared to the smelly pigpen, the fruits in the greenhouse were growing very well.
When he first left, there were already a few fruits that could be eaten. Now, one-third of all the fruits were already ripe.
He would definitely not be able to finish them alone, but he could give these things as gifts.
After all, many people had helped him for such a long time. It was necessary to return the favor.
Lin Yi plucked a peach from the tree and tasted it. His eyes lit up.
It tasted too good.
Although it was very sweet, it was not salty at all.
Moreover, it was bright red and juicy. It was simply top-grade.
[Mission completed. When the peach ripens, you will be rewarded with 100,000 proficiency points.]
[Profession Completion: 40%. Reward: 5 billion yuan.]
The system notification sounded in Lin Yi’s mind, indicating that he had completed the hidden mission.
“System, your quest title is quite good. I’m surprised you’ve seen this film before. I didn’t expect you to be so old.”
5 billion in cash was not a lot for Lin Yi, but it was something he urgently needed.
After all, photolithography machines and phone systems were very expensive to develop.
Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry to give the fruits as gifts. He planned to do it tomorrow.
After watering the field and clearing the weeds, Lin Yi went back to rest and sent a message to Ji Qingyan, saying that he wouldn’t be going back today.
[Mission completed. Reward: 200,000 proficiency points.]
[Profession Completion: 60%. Reward: Master-level farming technique.]
At three in the morning, the system notification sounded in his mind again.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. Where did this mission come from?
A few seconds later, he suddenly realized. It might be the pig he raised had reached 100 kilograms!
However, the system’s reward made Lin Yi have the urge to curse.
“System, f*cking come out and face me. I’ve spent more than three months raising it, and in the end, you only gave me this master-level farming technique. What use is this?!”
The system did not say anything. Perhaps it knew that it was in the wrong.
Lin Yi stood up and went to the pigpen to take a look.
As expected, the pig was eating happily.
“I’ve raised you using so much blood, sweat, and tears, and you only brought me such reward. What’s the use of keeping you around?!”
“Hehehe…”
Lin Yi,”…”
“F*ck, I’ll kill you tomorrow!”
After cursing, Lin Yi went back to rest. He only woke up at seven the next morning.
“Yo, Lil Yi is back.”
Yao Bin, who was holding a hoe and smoking a cigarette, greeted Lin Yi when he saw him.
“1 came back yesterday.” Lin Yi leaned against the wall. “Third brother, can you help me kill this pig?”
“Slaughter the pig?”
Yao Bin leaned on the wall and took a look. “It’s only 100 kilograms. What’s the point of killing it? If we raise it for a while longer, it will reach 200 kilograms at least. It’s so small. It’s a pity to kill it.”
“It’s fine. Pork is delicious when young.”
Yao Bin smiled and didn’t try to persuade him anymore. He knew that Lin Yi was rich, and he couldn’t use conventional thinking to persuade him.
“Come, come, come. 1 have something to tell you.”
Yao Bin waved his hand and called Lin Yi over.
“Don’t kill this pig of yours in the village. Find a slaughterhouse. The official price is 150 yuan per pig. If you go there and kill it, they can clean it up for you so that it’ll be less work for you.”
“What’s wrong? Isn’t there someone in the village who knows how to kill pigs?” Lin Yi said, “Didn’t Second Brother kill pigs iin the village?”
“Normally speaking, according to the village rules, you can’t expect people to help you kill it for free. After killing it, you have to treat the helpers to some of the pork.” Yao Bin said.
“Think about it. If we kill this pig, won’t we need at least five people to help out? If we all eat pork at your place, how much meat will you have left? Moreover, we have to clean up after killing it. It’s troublesome. Listen to Third Brother. I’ll give you the number of the slaughterhouse later. Kill it there.”
“Alright, thank you, Third Brother.”
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Yao Bin extinguished the cigarette butt and said, “I’m going to work in the fields. I’ll stop talking to you for now.”
“Sure thing.”
After sending Yao Bin off, Lin Yi made some simple food and sauntered to the greenhouse.
He was not in a hurry to kill the pig, but he had to deal with these fruits quickly.
If it took too long, it would rot on the tree and have to be discarded.
[System mission: Selling crops. The accumulated amount is 1 million. Reward: 200,000 proficiency points.]
“What the f*ck?”
Seeing the new system mission, Lin Yi did not follow the procedure and started scolding.
“System, are you joking with me? You want me to sell such a small amount of fruit for a million yuan?”
[Life is full of challenges.]
“Don’t give me this chicken soup quote. No wonder your Tilia civilization was destroyed. You’re too much of a dog.”
[Fruit cultivated in golden soil has the effect of beautifying one’s appearance and improving one’s metabolism. Host, please explore this yourself.]
“Oh?”
Lin Yi was stunned. This was not bad.
However, it was still unrealistic to sell such a small thing for 1 million yuan!
Lin Yi also knew that once the system mission was given, it wouldn’t change.
‘It’s like when a mother hits you. It’s totally unreasonable.’
In the past, Lin Yi felt a sense of accomplishment when he looked at the greenhouse filled with fruits.
But now, he felt like he had drawn his lot and was at a loss.
How could such a small thing be sold for a million yuan?
