Chapter 357 - Level Three Commodity

“Mr. Su, take care!”

“Mr. Su, when will you set up your stall again?”

“Mr. Su, we're looking forward to your return!”

Adjacent to a high school, on a nondescript street, a young man clad in cotton shorts and cloth shoes, topped with a straw hat, pedaled away on his electric bike, towing his stinky tofu stall behind him.

A crowd trailed behind him.

They were hotel magnates, elite chefs, and journalists from Eastsea City.

A throng of spectators gathered as well.

The most notable among them was Sun Jianjun, a renowned gourmet from the imperial court.

Tears welled in his eyes as he waved a heartfelt farewell to Su Ming.

The stinky tofu auction that took place in this alley today would go down in history.

Twenty portions of stinky tofu fetched a total of 500,000 yuan.

The highest bid for a single portion reached an astonishing 68,000 yuan!

In no time, the alley was renamed Stinky Tofu Alley.

Those who had purchased the delicacy but couldn't bring themselves to eat it immediately vacuum-sealed their portions and had them guarded vigilantly.

The media extensively covered the event.

It became known as the Stinky Tofu Incident!

?Unaware of the frenzy, Su Ming cycled back to his home and shut the door behind him.

He then made a beeline for his two-acre plot of land—because the upgrade was complete!

?Parking his bike on the path, Su Ming hurried to the field.

?A dramatic transformation had taken place.

Previously, the soil had been a dull mix of black and yellow.

Now, the entire expanse was a vibrant green, shimmering with layers of light.

?Crouching down, Su Ming scooped up a handful of the green soil.

There, his points had reached a hefty sum of 500.

But the data panel displayed 600 points—where had the extra 100 come from?

“Yuvyuv, how did I suddenly gain an extra 100 points?” Su Ming inquired.

?”It's because your stinky tofu sale created quite the stir. Those 100 points are a bonus!” Yuvyuv responded.

?Su Ming paused, taken aback.

“The System is designed to reward your showmanship. Naturally, you get a bonus for causing such a sensation!” the System chimed in.

?Su Ming chuckled at the explanation.

He made a beeline for the control console.

“Yuvyuv, I'd like to upgrade the control console.”

“I've confirmed you have enough points. Do you wish to proceed with the upgrade?”

“Yes, I'm sure!” Su Ming confirmed mentally.

?”Upgrading now.”

“Upgrade complete!”

“Congratulations, your control console has been upgraded to a Level Two control panel!”

“New feature added to the control panel: Automatic water feeding!”

With Yuvyuv's voice fading, the control panel transformed noticeably.

It had been an old computer screen from the late 20th century with low image resolution.

?But now, the screen was evolving.

It morphed into a modern computer screen, with significantly improved clarity.

The control panel, once covered in rust, now gleamed with its original metallic sheen following the upgrade. Concurrently, a new pipe materialized in the corner of the wall, stretching along two rows of the breeding zone. Each individual room was now equipped with an automatic outlet.

Su Ming tapped on the console's screen and discovered that the System had gained a new feature: an automatic water-feeding function, in addition to its ability to open and close windows automatically. Su Ming was elated; things were unfolding just as he had anticipated. The upgrade had not only improved the console's appearance but had also unlocked additional functionalities. At present, he had only accessed the automatic water-feeding feature, but Su Ming was confident that with further advancements in his level, he would unlock automatic feeding, harvesting, and even food distribution functions.

For the moment, he tempered his excitement. In high spirits, Su Ming fed the rabbits before proceeding to five vacant rooms, where he raised ten more rabbits. After setting the timer for the automatic water feeder, he secured the door to the breeding zone and made his way back to the villa.

The fields were abundant with crops, but planting remained his primary focus. As Su Ming contemplated his future endeavors, a sudden thought struck him—the store had updated! He dashed upstairs, powered on his computer, and launched the System software. He scrutinized the new offerings.

In the plantation area, five common crops had made their appearance. They were quite standard, yet Su Ming decided to store some. The herding and aquatic product areas featured similar ordinary items, which he also chose to keep. Finally, turning his attention to the breeding zone, Su Ming was met with a brilliant blue light—a Level Three product had surfaced in the marketplace! He eagerly examined it with great attention.
