The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C610 – They Were Saving Their Face

“Why did Mr. Su…”

Director-general Zhang inquired cautiously.

“To be honest, there are two main reasons. The first is that the raw materials are incredibly hard to come by.”

“The second is that the production process is exceedingly complex, making mass production unfeasible,” Su Ming explained.

“Alright,” Director-general Zhang sighed, a touch of disappointment in his voice. Yet, it was a minor setback considering the success in resolving the reservoir issue, which was quite an achievement.

​”But…” Su Ming said with a slight smile, “I do have some left. Have someone come by later to pick them up.”

“Of course, of course, Mr. Su, rest assured, we will definitely give you…”

​”No need for payment,” Su Ming interrupted, gesturing dismissively. It’s best not to charge for services that benefit the country and its people.

​”This…” Director-general Zhang and his colleagues were taken aback, exchanging glances, unsure of what to say next.

“You… you stop right there!” A voice, filled with rage yet shaky, called out from behind.

​Su Ming turned around to see who it was.

Oh, who might this be?

“Are you calling me?” Su Ming asked, blinking in surprise.

​”Yes, it was me. Who are you to overshadow me? The higher-ups had clearly assigned me to handle this situation. What gives you the right to take my place?!” The young man was fuming.

​[Is it really okay for you to just take my spotlight?]

“Did you manage to handle it?”

“No…”

“Did you head straight here after disembarking the plane?”

“No…”

“So you were the one who delayed things by indulging at the hotel. How is that my concern?”

“It has nothing to do with you… No, if it weren’t for you… No, that’s not right. Regardless, you owe me an explanation!” The young man was livid.

​This was supposed to be a valuable experience, one that would have added prestige to his resume. Instead, his opportunity had been snatched away.

​Now he was at a complete loss!

“If you’re looking for an explanation, that’s fine. What kind do you want?” Su Ming asked with a calm smile.

​”No problem. Let’s have a challenge. I brought the most advanced techniques, while you must be resorting to shortcuts.”

“How about it? Are you brave enough?”

The young man looked rather pitiful, his clothes covered in straw and dust.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Ming couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. Alright then, since you’ve come to me, I agree.

“Sure, no problem!”

“But I’d like to add one condition. After we treat the water, let’s each fill a cup and drink it. How does that sound?”

Su Ming gave a slow smile.

“This…”

The young man paused, taken aback.

Truth be told, the water would still need further treatment before it was safe to drink.

“What’s the matter, don’t you have the guts?”

Su Ming had seen it all before. He could easily read people, and it was clear this young man was out of his depth. Could he really back down in front of a beautiful woman?

Would he even be considered a man if he did?

“Fine!”

The young man said, and then he strode off to the side, prompting the onlookers to facepalm. If only he hadn’t shown off…

The two approached an area where the water was still filthy, now even more polluted and nearly black. The young man gulped at the sight.

“You first.”

Su Ming offered with a slow smile.

“If I must!” the young man replied.

He took off his backpack and pulled out a jumble of chemicals. After a hasty mix, he dumped them into the water. To his surprise, the patch of water in front of him cleared up a bit, the color improved, and it seemed the stench was gone.

The young man was thrilled to have succeeded on his first attempt, feeling quite proud of himself!

He then scooped up a cup of water and inspected it. The water was clear, with just a few flecks of dust floating in it.

But that was no big deal. What was the worst that could happen from drinking it? Maybe just a few days of stomach trouble!

“Now it’s your turn.”

The young man gave Su Ming a challenging look. Su Ming just grinned and pulled out a Cleansing Water Pill from his pocket.

He tossed it into the water nonchalantly.

After a few minutes of quiet, followed by a bubbling sound, a foul odor wafted through the air!

“Quick, quick, quick!”

“Nobody better compete with me for a spot this time!”

“I’m older than you!”

“Buzz off!”

Before Su Ming could even respond, a throng of older officials rushed past him, clamoring to get close to the water.

The young man was left in shock.

Can someone please explain what the hell is happening here? Can anyone make sense of this for me?

Is this thing really that entertaining? Are you all having that much fun?

Each of them craned their necks in anticipation.

They seemed overjoyed.

What are you all up to? What’s going on here?

In the next instant, the water’s surface became crystal clear, the entire area before him was suddenly transparent!

Su Ming grinned as he reached for the cup beside him, filled it with water, and downed it in one go.

“Mmm! It’s even a bit sweet. Your turn!”

The young man’s face turned a sickly shade of green.

Would you dare to drink this?

If you drink it, you might disappear.

But you can’t back down now, can you? After talking tough, how could you not drink?

Drink up!

Without another word, the young man clenched his jaw and stamped his foot in determination.

He gulped it down in one go!

“Uh…”

After taking a drink, the young man seemed to petrify, his body rigid. The taste of the water was indescribable, foul and sticky, like swallowing a mouthful of oil. It was utterly revolting.

“Ugh…”

Seconds later, he was violently throwing up, and then his body went limp.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“What do we do now?”

“He’s a technician sent from above, just young and inexperienced.”

“Right, right.”

“Someone take him under that tree, open up his shirt to let him breathe. It might help him catch his breath.”

“Okay.”

The young man felt a surge of gratitude. Despite his earlier arrogance, his seniors were still looking out for him.

But then, something unexpected happened.

They dragged him under the tree and just left him there.

“Is that it? Are we done here?”

“What about calling an ambulance? Aren’t you going to take me to the hospital?”

The young man asked, bewildered.

“What ambulance? What hospital? We left you here because we didn’t want your potential stench to bother us if you died.”

“Don’t you have a phone? You call the ambulance.”

“Goodbye, and good luck!”

Professor Chen’s students blinked in surprise and then walked away briskly.
