My Super Farming System

C36 – Faster

Host, you are tasked with harvesting the rapeseed field within one day. Upon completion, you’ll be awarded $1,000,000, with the possibility of a special bonus based on how well you do!

“Special bonus!”

Zhao Yuegu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Special bonuses were rare treasures, often unlocked by meeting specific conditions.

They made the mission payout seem insignificant in comparison!

Also, there was a countdown timer associated with the task, though it hadn’t started yet.

Without a moment’s delay, Zhao Yuegu got his farming tools ready and borrowed a bullock cart.

He was determined to start the harvest first thing in the morning.

The primary goal was to gather the rapeseed.

At three in the morning the following day, Zhao Yuegu was already in the field, beginning the harvest.

“The dew at this hour means the seeds are less likely to scatter on the ground,” he thought.

“If I wait until noon when the rapeseed is dry, I could lose a lot.”

With that realization, Zhao Yuegu was invigorated and began to harvest with fervor.

Ding! You’ve harvested a rapeseed plant and earned a $10,000 reward.

Ding! You’ve harvested another rapeseed plant and received a $10,000 reward.

……

The constant chime of rewards in his mind only fueled Zhao Yuegu’s enthusiasm!

It was important to note that the system’s default currency was the dollar.

Initially, he had questioned the choice of currency.

But after meeting Xia Guo, he understood that this setup made it easier to validate the legitimacy of his earnings!

No domestic inquiry could trace his assets.

What mattered was the value of the currency on the international stage.

Domestic currency, on the other hand, could face severe regulatory scrutiny.

Hence the system’s design.

And it was precisely for this reason that Zhao Yuegu’s profits soared!

Exhilarating!

“Earning money this way is faster than robbing a bank,” he mused, his drive mounting.

By noon, Zhao Yuegu had completely harvested the sprawling acre of rapeseed.

Xueman, along with Ma Yabei, brought Sun Ying to the farm on an oxcart.

“Brother, you’re done with the harvest already? That was incredibly quick!”

Xueman’s eyes bulged with astonishment.

Despite her youth, she understood that completing the harvest at such a rapid pace required remarkable speed.

Ma Yabei, who was well-versed in such matters, had witnessed the harvesting of sunflower seeds before.

But never at this speed.

“It was all finished by noon?”

Ma Yabei could scarcely believe it.

“That’s nothing. We’ll load up the cart after lunch.”

“Also, Sun Ying, you’re going to be my driver. You need to know how to handle the oxcart!”

Sun Ying was on the verge of tears.

“Is a driver supposed to drive an oxcart?”

“I’ve never learned how to!”

“Don’t worry. Xueman will show you the ropes. It’s simple, really—easier than driving a car.”

Zhao Yuegu chuckled.

Whether it’s a Lamborghini or an old ox, aren’t they both bulls?

If you can drive a Lamborghini, steering an oxcart should be no trouble at all.

Sun Ying, however, was feeling rather dismal about her future career prospects.

Why did it seem like her father was ready to trade her to Zhao Yuegu?

All for the antiques in Zhao Yuegu’s family collection?

The thought made Sun Ying’s teeth itch with frustration.

She was tempted to disown her father!

But after she touched the cow’s muzzle, Sun Ying’s attitude transformed—she was smitten with the task!

Driving an ox was far more enjoyable than farming.

“Boss, let’s get a few more cows,” she suggested.

“You’ll be feeding them!”

“I will!”

“Good, just don’t end up regretting it.”

Zhao Yuegu had his reasons for wanting to buy more cows.

Aside from their help on the farm, having his own supply would make consuming beef much more convenient.

He’d simply choose the best one to slaughter!

He recalled the grass seeds in the system that could be grown for cattle feed.

He wondered if they might alter the cows’ genetics.

The prospect excited him.

Maybe he could develop a breed even more renowned than Wagyu.

Of course, he’d also need to purchase a couple of dairy cows.

Xueman needed to drink fresh milk to overcome her frailty.

Of course, those thoughts were for later.

Once they had their fill of food and drink, they took a brief rest before getting back to work.

“We need to pile these vegetable seeds in the yard to dry them out.”

“The weather’s been clear these past few days, perfect for drying.”

Zhao Yuegu, along with Xia Guo, Sun Ying, and Ma Yabei, worked tirelessly.

The task wasn’t complete until they had gathered every last seed.

Luckily, it wasn’t dark yet when they unloaded the final cart in the yard.

Thankfully, the yard was spacious enough to accommodate it all.

Then, the system’s voice chimed in.

“Congratulations, host, for a flawless harvest of the rapeseed field. You’ve earned a reward of 1,000,000 dollars.”

“Your special reward has been issued. Please check your account.”

An elated Zhao Yuegu, during his break, checked the system for his new reward.

“Universe-Grade Agricultural Technology?”

“Damn…”

“What’s this?”

Zhao Yuegu was at a loss for words.

But once he utilized it, he found his mind brimming with extensive agricultural knowledge.

Suddenly, he felt like a seasoned farmer with tens of thousands of years of experience, adept at cultivating any crop with ease.

And there was more…

“Not only is this technology applicable to agriculture, but it also extends to industrial applications?”

“It can even produce its own farming and harvesting machinery?”

Zhao Yuegu was astounded.

His thoughts turned to German farmers.

In that land where machinery trumps manual labor, every farmer boasts an impressive degree!

There’s a saying that getting into university might be easier than becoming a farmer.

Farmers there often need degrees in both agricultural and engineering sciences to work the land!

Their tractors outclass luxury cars like Porsches in both performance and price.

Such a scenario would be beyond imagination in China.

“My understanding of farming now probably exceeds that of the most advanced agricultural universities.”

“And this knowledge even covers how to cultivate crops in space, hydroponics, ocean farming, and several other domains.”

For the first time, Zhao Yuegu realized just how much knowledge a farmer needed…

He had been playing the role of a farmer all wrong for years.

“Now, I feel confident that I could farm on the moon or Mars without any trouble.”

“And to think, scientists claim that lunar soil isn’t suitable for growing vegetables.”

“They’re definitely doing it wrong,” he asserted confidently.

“Give me a shot, and I can guarantee those crops will grow!”

Zhao Yuegu brimmed with self-assurance.

He even believed that if he were cast adrift in space, as long as he had seeds, he’d never go hungry.

Of course…

He’d still succumb to asphyxiation.

The concept of cosmic agriculture was a bit too vast for Zhao Yuegu.

But mastering the cultivation of crops in this mountain village was more than enough for him.

Over the next few days, Zhao Yuegu waited for the vegetable seeds to dry before gathering them all.

Knowing how challenging it was to store seeds, he decided to extract all the oil from them for better preservation.

But he quickly stumbled upon an issue.

“The oilseed yield from the system’s crops is alarmingly high…”

“We’re talking about a yield of 1,200 kilograms per acre.”

“That’s three to four times the average yield…”
