C8 Swear Before the Grave

Zheng Hao looked at the corn and sighed.

For the past month or two, his grandfather had been too ill to attend to the crops, and he had not expected them to grow into such a bear.

The ground was covered with weeds.

The grass was taller than the corn.

From the looks of it, even if he didn't harvest all three acres of corn this year, he wouldn't be able to get much.

Ignoring the corn, Zheng Hao walked to the middle of the field. There was an open space with two tombs on it.

One belonged to his father, whose grave was covered in weeds. The willow tree he planted when his father was buried was now as thick as a bowl.

The other one belonged to Grandpa.

The grave was a new one, the grave was still new soil, and there was a wreath of flowers around it. A willow tree was standing there, naked.

Zheng Hao had long forgotten what his father looked like.

It had been so long, so long, since his father had died. Sixteen or seventeen years ago. Zheng Hao had no impression of his father. He only vaguely remembered that his father was tall and thin, and he liked to carry him around his neck to tease him.

Everything about his grandfather was still fresh in his mind.

The old man had suffered all his life and had almost never enjoyed a day's worth of blessings.

When he fell ill, he refused to let Zheng Hao spend money to treat him. He said that it was a waste of money to treat him, so it was better to save up for Zheng Hao to get married …

Zheng Hao stood in front of the graves of his two elders, reminiscing about the sad past.

His tears fell uncontrollably.

"Grandfather, father, rest in peace! I will definitely not let our Zheng Family fall into decline! I will bring glory to our family. Not only will I become a Prominent Family in Yunlai Village, I'll also make our family in Blue River, a well-known family! " Zheng Hao kneeled in front of the grave as he explained.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

He kowtowed three times to his grandfather and father, then began to burn paper in front of their graves.

After burning the paper and setting the firecrackers on fire, Zheng Hao started to think about the two acres of corn.

It was already the middle of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. According to the hibernation period, it was already too late to grow anything else. Zheng Hao scratched his head, thinking that he should go take a look at System Merchant Shop.

With a thought, his consciousness entered his neural field.

"System, do you think my 2 mu of corn can be saved?" Zheng Hao asked.

"Host, as long as you have a credit point, I feel that it's not a problem at all. You can buy corn crop super nutrient solution, which can help your crops grow stronger and harvest higher." The System replied.

"Oh? Will the grass grow even crazier? " Zheng Hao asked.

"Absolutely not. The corn super nutrient solution only works on the corn, not the grass." The System said.

"That's great. Bring out the nutrient solution, let me take a look." Zheng Hao said.

"It has already been selected. Host, take a look for yourself." The System replied.

Zheng Hao saw the light screen in front of him turn into System Merchant Shop, and what it displayed was the corn super nutrient solution. Data on the nutrient solution showed that the use of this nutrient solution increased the yield of corn by 100%, and corn grains were more full-bodied and sweet.

Every mu of corn required ten kilograms of nutrient solution, and every two kilograms cost one credit point.

Then, wouldn't two acres of land cost 10 credit point s?

Zheng Hao's heart ached, but he still bought 20 kg of nutrient solution right away.

There was less rain this year, and it had been nearly a month since the end of July.

He checked the soil of the cornfield again and found that it was extremely dry. It was time to water it.

Zheng Hao then checked his System Merchant Shop and found a device called the Automatic Spring Irrigation Device. This set of automatic spring irrigation equipment could automatically irrigate the land within a certain range according to the system's host's own settings. The period of validity was one month and it was worth twenty credit point.

Zheng Hao had thought it through. Without the credit point, he could trade with the system to earn more money.

He bought the automatic spring irrigation device and set it up in his own field, first watering two acres of corn.

Then, he sprinkled the nutrient solution on the ground.

After Zheng Hao did all this, he retreated to the edge of the field to observe.

He discovered that the previously listless corn was now full of energy. Leaves were stretched out and stalks of straw were growing with a "ka ka" sound.

The short yellow corn seedlings were completely different in just half an hour.

They grew more than thirty centimeters taller, and their stalks thickened.

The ears of the corn, which had been shriveled, became round and thick.

What surprised Zheng Hao the most was that the weeds on the ground began to wither, as if all their nutrients had been sucked away by the corn.

Zheng Hao didn't even need to weed, the arrogance of the grass was completely suppressed by the crops. From the looks of it, these weeds would wither and die in a day or two.

Zheng Hao shook his head. With this system, he could be a lazy person and plant the land without spending too much effort.

No matter what, this feeling was pretty good.

Zheng Hao stretched lazily. He looked at the time and saw that it was already 12 noon. He then carried the hoe and headed home.

The noon sun was scorching hot and Zheng Hao was covered in sweat.

When they arrived at the edge of the village, they found that there were a few thick willow trees, which were very shady.

It was time for lunch, and the place was already packed with people enjoying the cool air.

Zheng Hao saw Lee Hongbo and his gang were also here. He noticed from afar that these fellows were sizing him up, and their gazes were rather unfriendly.

He frowned, thinking, could these things be trying to provoke me again?

He quickly went back to the System Merchant Shop and searched for the martial arts character he used last night to summon his talisman in case something unexpected occurred.

He quickly found these summoning talismans. One look and he discovered that the price was actually as high as eighty credit point.

F * ck me!

How expensive!

He gritted his teeth and decided to buy it. He had used up most of the credit point he earned last night.

Zheng Hao grabbed the Flawless Summoning Talisman that he just bought and walked towards Lee Hongbo and the others.

"Brother Hao, you're back." Lee Hongbo stood up and greeted Zheng Hao respectfully with a flattering smile.

Zheng Hao looked at him deeply.

He saw the hypocrisy in the man's face. Lee Hongbo's evasive eyes would occasionally shoot out sparks of hatred.

It seemed that he still hadn't completely convinced this fellow last night.

Zheng Hao snorted and walked past Lee Hongbo with his head held high. In his heart, he was thinking: It's not a big deal to always rely on summoning talismans. He really needs to possess some profound martial skills in order to feel at ease.

He once again probed his System Merchant Shop with his consciousness to see the price of those martial arts skill books. This time, he was shocked: Isn't it too f * cking expensive? Even the cheapest beginner skill book required 500 credit point s to buy it!
