Chapter 171 - My Pear Can Make People Grow Hair
The pear was intensely fragrant.
Su Ming savored its delightful taste, even though he was clueless about any special benefits it might possess.
After finishing the pear, he paused to survey his surroundings, only to find that nothing had changed.
Was it possible that it was merely an ordinary fruit with no special properties?
Lost in contemplation, Su Ming's thoughts were interrupted by an alert from the System.
“Congratulations, you have obtained the Hair-Growth Pear.”
“This pear is succulent and has the power to promote hair growth.”
Su Ming was astonished.
Instinctively, he ran his fingers through his hair, which was now lustrous and dark.
This would surely be a boon for programmers.
He thought of Wang Kai, whose hair was thinning, much like several of his colleagues.
Su Ming resolved to share some pears with them when time permitted.
“This item is perishable. The System will prolong its shelf life. Please be assured.”
The System's prompt message brought relief to Su Ming. He had previously experienced how quickly purchased fruit could spoil, and even refrigeration only helped so much.
With the System's intervention, spoilage was no longer a concern.
He carted all the harvested pears into the warehouse.
Upon his return, he discovered the pear trees had withered—a sobering sight.
It appeared that these perennial plants were now limited to bearing fruit just twice.
The first yield had been of superior quality, and the second yield, while merely fruit, had its own unique benefits.
That was quite satisfactory.
Without hesitation, Su Ming tidied up the area, earning 2,000 experience points in the process.
He then attended to the withered pear tree, gaining an additional 50 experience points.
With the tree's disappearance, a small house materialized in the corner.
Measuring 10 meters by 5 meters, it contained numerous separate compartments within its 50 square meter space, resembling a pigpen.
Su Ming quickly inspected the structure.
The System had automatically generated a small house, complete with all necessary equipment.
Though roofless, the System's protective measures ensured an optimal environment for the growth of crops and animals housed within.
Su Ming had no reason to worry.
“Congratulations on unlocking the breeding zone!”
“Animal waste and other refuse in the breeding zone will be automatically cleared by the System.”
“Please be aware that the animals in the breeding zone require timely feeding to prevent starvation.”
Upon hearing this, Su Ming grasped the situation immediately.
The System would take care of everything else for him.
Yet, to truly engage in the breeding process, Su Ming was responsible for feeding the animals himself.
And if he neglected to feed them for too long, they were at risk of starving.
Su Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Before him lay a vast expanse of open land and the newly acquired breeding zone.
What should he plant and raise?
The thought left Su Ming feeling both exhilarated and overwhelmed.
Eventually, he decided to put it out of his mind.
The next morning, Su Ming planned to visit the owner of the local farming co-op.
He could pick up a few live poultry from there.
While he was at it, he might as well purchase some additional seeds.
With this plan in mind, Su Ming spun around decisively and, humming a tune, made his way back to the villa.
Back at the villa, Su Ming settled in front of his computer, turned it on, and hummed contentedly. He was in his element.
The moment Su Ming launched his game, Little Streamer popped into his head.
He had noticed the name of her live broadcast room while eating.
Why hadn't he tuned into Little Streamer's broadcast?
Earlier that day, after parting ways with Su Ming, Little Streamer had been playfully ribbed by her audience, leaving her feeling somewhat downcast.
She had been in the streaming business for a year and was no stranger to the many pitfalls and unwritten rules of being a broadcaster.
Little Streamer was attractive and had a great figure, which had led many viewers to seek favors from her in the past, only to be turned down.
But their approaches had always been covert.
Su Ming was different.
He hadn't even sought her consent.
He had simply assumed she would be his stand-in driver!
Initially, she had thought Su Ming was playing hard to get.
But eventually, she realized it was just a figment of her imagination.
Su Ming's behavior had taken her by surprise.
With the time for her broadcast approaching, Little Streamer inhaled deeply, composed herself, and with a smile, went live.
The scene hadn't changed a bit from before.
The live stream's audience remained sparse, mostly made up of casual passersby.
The top viewer on the leaderboard had a username that caught the eye: “I tipped by mistake, Little Streamer, give me back my money!”
Su Ming chuckled upon reading it.
“Little Streamer, when will you give me back my money?”
As soon as Little Streamer went live, that viewer wasted no time in shooting her a private message.
“Thanks for reaching out!”
“When will you return my money?”
“Thanks for the tip! You're incredibly generous, thank you!”
The viewer was at a loss for words.
His intention had been to get his money back from Little Streamer.
It was his own fault, really, for getting drunk a few days prior.
In his inebriated state, he had tipped Little Streamer, a complete stranger to him.
“Little Streamer, don't feign ignorance. I want every penny back!”
“Thanks for the glow stick, dear viewer!”
Little Streamer paid no mind to his demands.
Unless the viewer was a minor, she had every right to keep the money.
Let's face it, Little Streamer was strapped for cash.
The viewer's tip of 5,000 yuan was the largest she had received all year.
“Appreciate your affection, but there's no chance for us!”
The viewer was seething with anger.
