Chapter 457 - The Crystal Onions Have Matured

Su Ming woke up later than usual.

He stretched leisurely, feeling the comfort spread through his body.

The previous day had been packed with activities, which is why it took him half the night to finally drift off to sleep.

But this restful slumber had rejuvenated him completely.

He felt utterly refreshed.

Glancing at the clock, Su Ming had a sudden realization—if his memory served him right, the crystal onion should be ripe by now.

It was time to harvest the crystal onion!

In a rush, Su Ming scrambled out of bed and headed straight for the plot where the crystal onion was planted.

He noticed that the Dangerous Sweet Potato and the Top Grade orchids were still growing and would be ready to harvest the next day.

But the crystal onion was ripe for the picking.

Typically, onions have a purple-red skin.

Half of them grow beneath the soil, while the other half sprout green leaves that poke through to the air.

However, Su Ming's onion was crystalline.

It wasn't supposed to sprout leaves.

Su Ming walked over to the plot and crouched down for a closer inspection, only to find that the crystal onion had somehow produced a small, square paper box.

This box, roughly the size of a standard router, was mostly buried, with only one side visible above the soil.

It was completely unmarked.

What could it be?

Su Ming was curious.

He gently cleared the dirt around the box and gave it a firm tug, successfully extracting the crystal onion.

Upon closer examination, he realized that the small box was actually a radio!

The crystal onion's planting density was quite low, with only three per acre.

Clearly, Su Ming hadn't anticipated that a radio would emerge from the crystal onion.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've acquired a noise-proof radio. Don't be fooled by its small size; it's packed with immense energy. Just press play, and it can emit a massive 200-decibel sound, targeted at specific individuals or groups, while remaining inaudible to others. This is the perfect tool to manage disruptive square dancing seniors!”

Hearing this description, Su Ming's eyebrows lifted in intrigue.

While he was lost in his daydreams about the future, he suddenly remembered the System had informed him that the Prophetical Radio only broadcast news from Eastsea.

It seemed unlikely that this would have anything to do with altering the fate of the world or saving humanity.

It made sense why the previous radios seemed so mundane; the most extraordinary one had been revealed to Su Ming at last.

Su Ming chuckled heartily.

He glanced at the other five radios and decided to recycle them, as they served no purpose for him.

While square dancing might be a nuisance to some, it didn't bother Su Ming in the least, given that his location was in the city center, far from any such activity.

“Ding! You have successfully harvested crops, earning 200,000 experience points! Bonus reward: 40,000!”

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully exchanging points. You have earned 5,000 credit points!”

“Ding! Recycled. Congratulations, Host, you have gained 50,000 experience points! Bonus reward: 10,000!”

After disposing of the radios, a succession of notifications echoed in Su Ming's mind.

He checked his experience panel; he needed another five million experience points to advance to the next level.

Currently, he had approximately 1.36 million experience points, but he wasn't worried. He planned to progress gradually.

Moreover, his planting points now totaled 9,201.

He reviewed the upgrade requirements.

Upgrading one acre of Level Two land to Level Three required 5,000 points.

Su Ming scratched his head, pondering whether to upgrade one acre of land to Level Three first.

He also contemplated whether to plant additional Level Two crops before upgrading all the Level Two land to Level Three in one go.

After careful consideration, Su Ming decided there was no need to rush and opted for the latter strategy.

Su Ming pulled out his phone and accessed the phone warehouse.

After searching, he spotted a Level Two seed.

Su Ming tapped his phone screen and discovered that the Level Two seed was a sweet luffa.

He immediately redeemed a few seeds.

Walking over to the warehouse beside the thatched hut, he took a look and, as expected, found several small boxes.

These boxes were neatly square, roughly the size of a Rubik's cube, each containing a bean seed.

The bean was strikingly attractive, resembling something crafted from chocolate.

Cream adorned the seed's surface. Su Ming took a careful whiff and noticed the seed exuded a delicate fragrance.
