158 Can I Kick Him?

The two of them busied themselves together every day, and the days passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. That morning, after Du Yue had her breakfast, she did not start training like she usually did. Instead, she changed her clothes, opened the door, and walked out. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, it was as if she had transmigrated to another world. There were iron rods in the logistics boxes, and white vines were wrapped around the iron rods. Fist-sized frosty snow fruits were hanging on the vines.

Each fruit was white, looking very pleasing to the eye. To Du Yue's surprise, the survival rate of the frosty snow fruit was 100%. Every seed she planted had sprouted and grown long white vines.

Although Du Yue and He Xing had no prior experience in planting frosty snow fruit, they knew that most plants with vines like this required an iron rod or some other support to be placed near the vines so that they could climb up. Du Yue stood in the living room and counted. There were about 40 to 50 frosty snow fruits on each vine. The production was quite a lot!

The base had just developed the planting method of the frosty snow fruit, so only a few people knew about it. In addition, wild frosty snow fruit mostly grew in places where wild boars were, so it was very risky to pick it. The rarer something was, the more expensive it would be. That was why the base was buying frosty snow fruits at a high price.

He Xing had asked Zuo Mingdong about it. Zuo Mingdong said that if they wanted to sell the fruit, the base would buy it for two contribution points per fruit. Although the unit price was not very high, the production of the frosty snow fruit was high. If all the fruits were sold, it would be a big profit.

Every time Du Yue gave the plants nutrient fluids, she would silently calculate how much the fruits could be sold for when they matured. After waiting for an entire month, the fruits were ready to be harvested! Just as Du Yue was about to get up, she heard the sound of keys opening the door.

Du Yue looked in the direction of the sound, and it was indeed He Xing! The two of them did not waste any time chit-chatting and immediately started picking the frosty snow fruits. The ones Du Yue picked were stored in the space, while the ones He Xing picked were placed in bags. Once a bag was filled up, he would hand it to Du Yue.

It was also very easy to pick the frosty snow fruits. With the two of them working together, all the frosty snow fruits planted in Du Yue's house were picked before noon. The two of them had lunch together before they went to He Xing's house.

The two of them busied themselves until past six o'clock before they finally picked all the frosty snow fruits. They also dug out the vines and tied them together. As long as an item was stored in the space, Du Yue could control it with her mind, so it was quicker to count the fruits as well. She would not have known if she did not count, but she was shocked when she did. They had actually gotten more than 10,000 frosty snow fruits from the batch of plants they planted this time!

The two of them discussed for a while and decided to keep the first few hundred frosty snow fruits and sell the remaining 10,000 to the base. One fruit could be sold for two contribution points, so 10,000 fruits would be 20,000 contribution points.

From planting to harvesting, it only took a month. Moreover, they did not need to take special care of them. Apart from the effort they had to put in to dig the soil, the contribution points they earned from doing this were like money falling from the sky. The frosty snow fruits were hard and not fragile at all, so they could be directly put into the bags.

The next morning, Du Yue and He Xing took all the frosty snow fruits and drove to look for Zuo Mingdong after breakfast. Before they came, they had already informed Zuo Mingdong in advance. What He Xing told him was that they had planted a few plants. However, when Zuo Mingdong saw that He Xing's car was full of bags of frosty snow fruits, and even the roof of the car was piled with a lot of them, he was stunned for a long time.

After a long while, Zuo Mingdong pointed at the frosty snow fruits and asked He Xing, Is this what you meant when you said you only planted a few?

He Xing's expression was normal, and his tone was calm. Yes, it's our first time, so we didn't dare to plant too many.

Zuo Mingdong was speechless. If he had not been in contact with He Xing for a long time and knew that He Xing usually expressed himself in this way without any intention of showing off, he would have given him a kick.

Even though he had some opinions about He Xing's way of expressing himself, he still ordered his subordinates to count the frosty snow fruits and give the two their deserved contribution points. During this period of time, the base has also started to plant frosty snow fruits. A small number of individuals are also planting them. Together with the ones you've sent, we now have enough seeds to promote these fruits in the base. If you plan to plant another batch and sell them to the base, the price will be cheaper than now.

Oh, we're not planning to sell them anymore. We'll keep them for ourselves if we plant more, He Xing replied nonchalantly.

Zuo Mingdong thought that this person was too much of a show-off. Could he just give him a kick?
