It was definitely a shady business.
Nonetheless, Jiang He ignored him after complaining a little. After all, this matter did not have much to do with him.
Leaning on the sofa, Jiang He turned on his System panel with a thought.

Jiang He turned toward the System Shop then.
Previously, when the System was upgraded, it had prompted the System Shop to open up the right to sell some seeds. In the System Shop, there were indeed a few more seeds that could be purchased, but all the seeds were planted by him.
Perhaps he only had the authority to buy the seeds that he had planted.
For example, cucumber seeds, gourd seeds, eggplant seeds, etc …
One cucumber seed sold for a hundred Farm Points.
One eggplant seed sold for five hundred Farm Points.
A bottle gourd seed was sold for five hundred Farm Points.
"…"
Jiang He was a little speechless, and could not help complaining inwardly, "System, may I ask if you're messing with planes again? I can understand things like cucumber seeds and calabash seeds, but you want me to plant seven more Calabash Brothers with calabash seeds? "
The system remained silent.
Hehe.
Jiang He smirked.
It was fortunate that the system didn't say anything other than the necessary prompts. Otherwise, he felt that he could make the system shut down.
Still, Jiang He remembered the Bottle Gourd Brothers when he saw the bottle gourd seeds in the System Shop …
"I almost forgot about these seven little things."
Taking out seven bottle gourds, Jiang He blew at them, and seven clusters of mist of different colors landed on the ground, turning into the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers. They were much smarter than when they were first planted, or at least did not look as foolish.
They stepped forward and said in unison, "Grandfather."
"Sigh …"
Jiang He responded with a grin.
Not to mention.
After getting used to the feeling of being called grandpa, it felt quite good. It was not as awkward as it was in the beginning.
Rubbing the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers' heads, Jiang He chuckled. "Alright, go and play."
The seven brothers were full of excitement as they skipped out of the courtyard to play. Not long after, they each came back with a few apples. Crunch crunch crunch, they squatted in the courtyard and ate happily.
Many people in the village had planted fruit trees at home. It was now October, the season for apples to ripen and harvest. The brothers went out to play and picked a lot of fruits.
Seeing that Jiang He had come out of the mansion, Eldest Brother walked up and took out an apple from his pants, saying in a childish voice, "Have some fruit, gramps."
Jiang He: "…"
He stared at Elder Baby for three seconds.
That was right.
The seven brothers were wearing dudou and underpants. It seemed like things like the apple could only be placed in the crotch.
Waving him off, Jiang He said, "I'm not eating. I'll leave it for you … hold on …"
Suddenly, Jiang He's heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed in shock, "You people eat?"
All seven brothers nodded.
Jiang He clutched his forehead, feeling guilty that he was abusing children — he had not fed the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers ever since he planted them.
But thinking about it, they weren't hungry.
After all, they were all plump and did not look like they were starving.
Musing to himself for a long time, Jiang He then asked, "Since you people can eat, could you absorb energy from food to maintain your own strength? Or could you use food to improve yourself? "
Jiang He had a general idea of charging by basking in the sun.
After all, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were born from gourds, and they should be considered 'crops'. Wasn't basking in the sun photosynthesizing?
The Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers shook their heads, with Third Brother saying, "Gramps, we just think that the fruit is delicious."
"Oh?"
Jiang He pinched Third Brother's smiling cheeks and chuckled. "Fruit, my foot. Gramps will buy you lollipops later … eh?"
Even before he finished, Jiang He's face twitched again.
There was a flash of inspiration in Jiang He's mind, and he could not help thinking.
"Crops?
"Basking in the sun?
"Photosynthesis?"
Slapping himself on the forehead, Jiang He laughed out loud. "I got it! I know how to improve the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers' abilities!"
With a thought …
[Ding!]
[-700 Farm Points]
Seven crystalline nitrogen fertilizers appeared in his hand.
Jiang He took out one nitrogen fertilizer and smiled. "Come here, Eldest Brother. Gramps has some candy for you."
Eldest Brother had never seen candy before, nor did he know what nitrogen fertilizer was. He only thought that this thing was shiny and beautiful. He reached out his little hand, took the nitrogen fertilizer, and sniffed it. His face was filled with infatuation, and he could not help but drool.
Elder Baby opened his mouth and swallowed the egg-sized nitrogen fertilizer in one gulp. Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Jiang He's spirit radiated out, sensing the most minute changes in Eldest Brother's body.
Once the nitrogen fertilizer entered his stomach, it promptly turned into nutrients that seeped into Eldest Brother's limbs and bones. Jiang He could clearly feel a violent energy slowly growing inside his body.
After that, Jiang He distributed the remaining six nitrogen fertilizers to the other six brothers and continued to observe them.
Second Brother's eyes lit up after he ate the nitrogen fertilizer and he exclaimed in delight, "Gramps, my eyes are brighter and my hearing is sharper than before!"
After eating the nitrogen fertilizer, Third Baby's muscles, bones, skin, and flesh were strengthened to a certain extent. His original ability was "copper head and iron arms, steel tendons and iron bones, and impenetrable by swords and spears." At this moment, this ability was even stronger.
Fourth Brother breathed fire and thunder, his face filled with delight as well.
Jiang He nodded in satisfaction, saying, "My seven good grandsons, as long as you listen to me, I promise to change your fertilizer every day in exchange for candy."
Since the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were essentially 'crops', they naturally could not eat normal food.
But "nitrogen fertilizer" was fertilizer.
It could promote the growth and development of crops in the first place.
In fact, Jiang He was a little impressed by himself. Who else could have come up with such an idea?
Placing the seven bottle gourds under the sun in the farm, Jiang He said, "Go cultivate inside the bottle gourds when you're tired. I'm going out for a bit, but I'll be back soon."
"Got it, gramps."
The Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were very obedient.
And yet, after Jiang He left the farm and drove away, he promptly turned into a mischievous child and started playing around in the farm, driving Dumbo and Trumbo into a frenzy.
Fourth Brother was rather mischievous, and actually wanted to play with the Cloudscraper Vine.
By then, the Cloudscraper Vine had finished absorbing the flesh Jiang He had fed it, and its tendrils had grown thicker and longer. Each of its nine tendrils was almost fifty meters long, and they slowly extended along the walls of the farm.
Crack!
One of the tendrils abruptly lashed down from the skies.
Fourth Brother was sent flying, and he cried out loud.
He cried out loud, but after a few seconds, he went back to climbing the willow tree with a smile on his face. As a result, not long after, he was whipped by a few branches that shone with a faint luster, causing him to cry out in pain.
"How dare you bully my Fourth Brother, devil!"
Big Baby was furious. He immediately grew bigger and punched the willow tree.
On the willow tree, a few willow branches suddenly flew up and whipped Elder Baby. Elder Baby cried out in pain and begged for mercy. However, when the willow branches retracted, he became arrogant again.
"Brothers, kill this tree for me!"
"Fourth Bro, set a fire to prevent lightning strikes!"
"Old Five, spit out water and drown it!"
"Woof woof woof woof!!!"
Flustered, Dumbo barked a few times and barked in a northwestern dialect that had a hint of Sichuan accent, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, or Master would be angry when he returns …"
… …
Jiang He was not aware of the situation at home.
Crossing one leg over the other, he popped a walnut blended qi pellet and listened to a tune while 'driving' his sports car all the way to Lingzhou City.
He first went to the seed market and bought some rice and wheat seeds wholesale.
The seed seller kindly reminded him, "Young lad, it's not the season to plant rice and wheat now. It's already October, it'll be winter before the rice and wheat are sprouted."
"Thanks for the reminder, boss."
Jiang He thanked him, but did not take the seed seller's words to heart.
Winter?
There were still a few months left until winter. His farm's normal crops would grow a dozen times faster now, and the rice and wheat that would have taken months to be harvested now could be harvested in ten days at most.
After buying some more vegetable seeds and eggs, Jiang He arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Department (MAD).
He did not go inside.
He ran into acquaintances once he did, and chatted about all sorts of things was a waste of time.
Sitting in his car, he gave Wang Siyu a call, and she soon came out.
"Over here!"
Jiang He opened the car door and got off.
Today, Wang Siyu was wearing a tight red tracksuit that accentuated her figure. "When did you return from Jiangnan?" she asked with a smile. "Did you run into any trouble on your way there?"
"I just came back this morning."
Jiang He replied, before puffing out his chest and thumping his chest. "With my ability, everyone would be thanking the heavens if I don't bother anyone. Who would dare to bother me?"
Wang Siyu blinked.
It seemed like …
That made sense.
"By the way, I've done what you asked me to do last time. When your neighbors in the village heard that you wanted to buy their houses, they all said that they would give them to you as a gift. After all, Jinyintan Village has been divided into a suburban wilderness area, and the country has also allocated houses for everyone. If I really charge you, it would be a little unconscionable."
Jiang He chuckled.
Others aside.
The villagers of Jinyintan Village were quite nice.
Still, he had money now …
He had no place to spend the 9,000 catties of gold, and there were still several hundred million in his card. That was why he should just leave it there. Musing to himself for a while, Jiang He said, "How about this? I'll buy every house in the village, and I'll talk to your dad about giving each family a hundred or two hundred thousand bucks. Money is just a number to me anyway."
After a few more exchanges, Wang Siyu suddenly lowered her voice and said, "The Sky Demon Cult might be up to something big recently, Jiang He. I heard from others that there might be some heritage site or treasure in Lingzhou City that attracts them. You have to be careful living alone in the village."
"Really?"
Even so, Jiang He's eyes were sparkling.
That was a piece of heaven-shaking good news …
He could not help sighing. "The Sky Demon Cultists are so righteous. I've just found life a little dull recently, and now they're here to add some fun to my life?"
With a flash of inspiration in his head, Jiang He added, "How about this? You represent me in buying the houses. Be quick, since I might need some yards in the next two days!"
Jiang He already had a plan in mind.
When he returned, he would turn his house and farm into an impenetrable fortress. If the Sky Demon Cult dared to come …
They would never return!
