Chapter 221 - The Harvest
Jiang Hao glanced back and caught sight of a tall, muscular man gazing at him with concern.
The speaker was Jiang An, a simple and sincere soul.
With a slight smile, Jiang Hao reassured Jiang An.
“Uncle An, relax. I've got my ways. I won't come out behind!”
The others, witnessing Jiang Hao's resolve to purchase the vegetables, erupted in elation.
“Old An, ease up! Hao Hao is an educated man; he wouldn't engage in a losing venture!”
“Exactly! Hao Hao's car cost a fortune! That alone shows how capable he is. Don't worry!”
……
Subsequently, many villagers accepted Jiang Hao's deposit, though some remained hesitant.
Jiang Hao, however, didn't press them.
Soon after, each household that had taken the deposit started harvesting their ripe vegetables.
Jiang Hao then drove to the nearest county town, where he rented a sizable warehouse to store the vegetables.
He also arranged for several large trucks to come at a scheduled time.
All was set.
Jiang Hao went back and began assisting his Fourth Uncle's family with their vegetable harvest.
In no time, Fourth Uncle's family had finished harvesting, and Jiang Hao summoned a truck, bringing along a large scale. He weighed and loaded the vegetables simultaneously.
In the end, the total price for Fourth Uncle's assorted vegetables, based on Jiang Hao's rate, came to 15,233 yuan.
Jiang Hao immediately paid in full and even gave Fourth Uncle an extra 5,000 yuan for his and Fourth Aunt's assistance.
Though Fourth Uncle initially refused, Jiang Hao insisted and handed over the money.
Afterward, Jiang Hao, Fourth Uncle, and Fourth Aunt moved on to purchase vegetables from other families.
Fourth Uncle's unexpected presence stirred up quite a buzz; the villagers knew his leg had been crushed just days before.
How could he have recovered so quickly?
Jiang Hao had anticipated their curiosity and cautioned them to keep his medical expertise a secret.
Thus, they fibbed, claiming Fourth Uncle's leg was merely twisted, not broken, and a few days of rest had done the trick.
The villagers bought the story.
And so, the fervent vegetable buying spree kicked off!
As Jiang Hao settled accounts with each family, one by one, those who had been on the fence grew restless.
Jiang Hao was quick to respond when contacted, and he readily agreed to the proposition.
Following several days of aggressive buying, Jiang Hao had purchased every last ripe vegetable from Jiang Village.
Households were soon counting stacks of cash, their faces beaming with joy.
Jiang Hao trailed the final truck to the warehouse where the vegetables were stored. Once he was alone, he set to work deconstructing his purchases.
“Ding… Congratulations, host, on deconstructing a cabbage. You have obtained a Mutated Super Cabbage Seed, 0.8 skill points, and 0.8 experience points!”
Mutated Super Cabbage Seed: Ultra-fast growth, consumption promotes beauty and skincare!
“Deconstruction successful. Would you like to extract?”
“Ding, congratulations host on deconstructing the cabbage…”
……
Due to the excessive number of deconstructions and the system's incessant notifications, Jiang Hao decided to mute the system alerts.
Before long, most of the cabbages in the warehouse had vanished, leaving Jiang Hao with a multitude of mutated cabbage seeds.
Yet, having deconstructed so many cabbages, one would expect the system experience to be sufficient by now.
But there was no prompt from the system.
It was only when Jiang Hao accessed his personal panel that he discovered the skill points and experience points had only increased by a mere 100 points after all that deconstruction!
Jiang Hao's face darkened with displeasure.
“System, what exactly is happening here?”
