The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 469 - Invincible Brick

Previously, there were two majestic horses in the herding area.

Despite being painted in seven different colors, they were quite a sight to behold.

Su Ming stood gaping at the scene before him, rooted to the spot in shock.

It took him a full five minutes to finally close his mouth.

Since the horses were a creation of the System, he figured he might as well go ahead and harvest them.

Now, there were still two horses in the herding area, but they were assembled entirely from a certain material.

This material was quite common and served as an effective weapon in brawls.

It was none other than the humble brick.

Both of the large horses were composed of bricks.

After several days of diligent care, Su Ming ended up with nothing but bricks.

What good were these things?

The number of bricks was insufficient to build a house.

Moreover, bricks were dirt cheap.

He had spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on a horse at the marketplace.

With that kind of money, he could have bought a mountain of bricks.

Feeling utterly helpless, Su Ming resigned himself to the task and went to harvest.

Approaching the two tall horses, he scratched his head, puzzled about how to proceed.

After a moment's thought, Su Ming placed his hand on one of the horses.

Instantly, the horse began to disassemble like a set of blocks, transforming into individual bricks.

But something was off.

Why were the bricks floating down?

Ordinarily, a brick would plummet straight down, succumbing to gravity, yet these bricks were drifting down gently, like feathers, particularly the ones that had formed the horse's head.

Su Ming's eyes bulged as he stood there, dumbfounded.

He picked up a brick from the ground, only to discover it was soft.

With a simple squeeze, he easily deformed it.

Su Ming's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Could this brick be a fake?

It wasn't a red brick at all, but a sponge brick.

What use could this possibly have?

It might work for scrubbing in the bath, but it was far too large for dishwashing. After all, it's not every day you find a dish larger than a brick.

While Su Ming was lost in thought, a notification chimed in his mind.

“Host, congratulations on acquiring the Mini Brick. Made of sponge, it's lightweight and easy to handle, suitable for both toddlers and nonagenarians. This Mini Brick is the ultimate weapon for slapping. Whether your adversary is a martial arts master or a boxing champion, a single brick can knock them out cold. It's so powerful, even an elephant couldn't withstand it!”

“Note: To avoid any hassle and enhance your user experience, you have the ability to control its size. When not in use, it can transform into a sleek pendant for easy portability. Plus, it's reusable!”

Upon hearing the notification in his mind, Su Ming paused for a moment.

He realized he had misunderstood the System.

With that in mind, the item actually seemed quite useful.

Even when facing martial arts masters, he could use this brick to knock them out cold.

Su Ming chuckled to himself.

He had initially thought his latest find wasn't great, but it turned out to be another pleasant surprise.

Considering the item's ability to shrink, Su Ming blinked and held it in his hand.

In his mind, he commanded, “Shrink.”

And the brick did shrink.

It became incredibly small, roughly the size of a key.

Moreover, a new hole appeared on the brick. A small chain threaded through this hole and attached to a ring.

Su Ming glanced at the two majestic horses and made a quick estimate.

Each horse seemed to be composed of about 50 bricks.

Keeping all of them seemed pointless, so he decided to retain just ten bricks for now.

Since he was the only one who could use these bricks, there was no point in holding onto too many.

He then promptly exchanged the remaining 90 bricks for points.

“Host, you have successfully exchanged for points. You have earned 900 points!”

Su Ming's eyes sparkled at the sound in his mind.

He now had a substantial amount of points!

Eagerly, Su Ming checked the points panel on his phone.

At present, the herding area had 1,140 area points. The fence had reached Level Two and required 300 points to upgrade to Level Three. The pasture was at Level Three, needing 1,000 points to advance to Level Four.

After careful consideration, Su Ming opted to upgrade the fence to Level Three first. This would allow him to keep Level Three animals.

He spent 300 points and upgraded the fence to Level Three.

“The fence is currently upgrading. The upgrade will take 18 hours!”

Hearing the notification, Su Ming nodded in approval.

This was indeed a fruitful outcome.

He resized the remaining ten bricks to match a key's dimensions and hung them on his keychain. From now on, these bricks would serve as his personal defensive weapons.

Reusable multiple times, these bricks were nothing short of perfect weapons!

Su Ming was itching to hit the streets with his sponge bricks to give a few hooligans a taste of their own medicine and test their effectiveness. But after a moment's consideration, he decided against it, opting instead for an early night's rest. His mother's birthday was the day after next, and he needed to take his parents out shopping for clothes first thing in the morning.

With that in mind, Su Ming quickly tidied up the fields and returned to the villa to sleep.

The next morning, he awoke early, checking the time to find it was five o'clock. His parents were likely up by this time. After a quick wash, he drove over to pick them up. Sure enough, the lights in his parents' place were on as he reached downstairs.

Taking the elevator up, Su Ming tapped gently on the door. It swung open shortly after to reveal Su Tao, his face showing signs of fatigue and dark circles under his eyes. He managed a smile upon seeing his son. “Son, you're up early.”

Su Ming's brow creased in concern.

He turned his attention to Lee Sumei, who was also showing signs of weariness, yawning continuously on the sofa.

This was unusual for his parents, who were known for their sound sleep, even in unfamiliar environments. And considering he had left them at just past seven the previous evening, they should not have been this exhausted if they had slept well.

“Dad, Mom, why do you both look so tired? Has something happened?” Su Ming inquired.

“We're fine,” Su Tao replied, avoiding Su Ming's gaze while giving his shoulder a reassuring pat. “Why don't you show me how to use this blender? I still haven't figured it out.”

Su Ming's suspicion deepened. Clearly, something was amiss, but his parents were keeping it from him to prevent him from worrying.

Just as he was about to probe further, a loud banging noise erupted from upstairs. The sound, irritating and persistent, made Su Ming's irritation palpable.

His expression turned grim as realization dawned on him; the noise, unmistakably that of a basketball thumping against the floor, was likely the culprit behind his parents' restless night.
