Chapter 126: The Farm Security Goes on a Mission?
Special Medicinal Ginseng (Grade 1): 50 million yuan per root, limited to 1 root (This seems to be an extraordinary ginseng. According to the tanned old farmer's humble introduction, this thing is a favorite among men!)
Zhang Lin was truly curious about what this item was, especially with the note that it was a favorite among men.
It was easy to misinterpret, but the more he thought about it, the more curious he became.
Moreover, a single special medicinal ginseng for 50 million yuan—how many centuries old could it be?
If it were before, Zhang Lin would have hesitated, but with 100 million yuan just lying around, spending 50 million didn't feel like a burden. He clicked to purchase it without a second thought.
After all, his past experiences had shown that the more expensive something was, the better it usually was.
"Transaction... 50,000,000.00 yuan spent, balance..."
Congratulations! You have spent 50 million yuan to purchase a special medicinal ginseng. It has been materialized and stored in the warehouse. Please check it out!
Zhang Lin immediately headed to the core area's warehouse. Inside, he found the materialized special medicinal ginseng. He picked it up and saw the detailed note:
Special Medicinal Ginseng: Grade 1
This is a special medicinal ginseng, a rare and precious mountain herb. It is said to be extremely rare, only usable once every hundred years. Soaking it in alcohol for 7 days will yield a special medicinal wine. Long-term consumption of this medicinal wine will have special effects, increasing physical strength by +1. With regular consumption and some exercise, you can run 100 meters in 9.5 seconds, jump 9 meters in the long jump, lift 242 kilograms, and make your partner beg for mercy!
"Damn!" Zhang Lin had never seen such a detailed note before.
But the content of the note left him speechless.
This special medicinal ginseng was truly remarkable, and 50 million yuan was absolutely worth it.
In other words, soaking this ginseng in alcohol for 7 days would produce a medicinal wine that, when consumed regularly, would increase physical strength.
So, this ginseng only had one +1 physical strength attribute.
However, the note also revealed just how powerful this +1 physical strength could be: running 100 meters in 9.5 seconds, jumping 9 meters in the long jump, lifting 242 kilograms. These were all world record-breaking performances.
In other words, with regular consumption and some exercise, breaking a world record would be a breeze.
This medicinal wine could easily create world champions.
The only downside was that he could only buy one root, which was a bit of a letdown.
Naturally, Zhang Lin now understood why the note mentioned that men liked it.
The note about making a partner beg for mercy was quite literal.
With this medicinal wine, who wouldn't be interested in dating him?
Thinking about it, Zhang Lin immediately called Liu De and instructed him to buy a small vat of high-proof alcohol and a container for soaking the medicinal wine and bring them to his office.
Liu De was very efficient, and it didn't take long for him to deliver the alcohol and container to Zhang Lin's office.
Without hesitation, Zhang Lin took out the special medicinal ginseng, placed it in the container, poured in the alcohol, and sealed it.
Soaking the ginseng in alcohol was simple and straightforward.
He carefully placed the soaking medicinal wine in a drawer of his desk, waiting 7 days before he could start consuming it. He planned to drink a little each day, and once he finished the vat, he would have a robust physique and the ability to make his partner beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, he currently didn't have a girlfriend.
For some reason, Fu Yao's image popped into his mind.
Logically, there were plenty of attractive young women on the farm, so why did he think of her specifically?
Perhaps it was just one of those inexplicable things. He might just have a preference for younger, smaller women...
Time passed.
The next day, after a day and a night, the Linyuan Farm moisturizing cream became a sensation.
Zhang Lin woke up early and checked the farm's social media video. In the comments section, he saw people asking to buy the Linyuan Farm moisturizing cream, and some were even offering 1,000 yuan to buy it on their behalf.
As Lin's senior sister had predicted, the brand value of Linyuan Farm's moisturizing cream had clearly risen.
Someone was willing to pay 1,000 yuan to have someone buy it for them, which included a 50 yuan entrance fee to the farm, 208 yuan for a box of moisturizing cream, and 20 yuan for shipping.
Zhang Lin then checked the latest trending news videos online and was taken aback.
Initially, he thought the trending topics would still be about the Linyuan Farm moisturizing cream and the Lili fragrance products.
But the top trending topics today were completely different and felt surreal:
Woman Trips and Chips Tooth, Sues Road Authority!
Woman Insists on Suing Road Authority After Tripping!
Woman Seeks 500,000 Yuan Compensation from Road Authority!
"???" Zhang Lin couldn't help but click on the titles to read the content.
"Ms. Li tripped and fell on her way to the park last night, resulting in a minor fracture and a chipped front tooth. She believes the road authority is responsible for her fall and has filed a lawsuit..."
"Did I travel through time?" Zhang Lin was bewildered.
Otherwise, he couldn't understand why such bizarre events would occur in reality.
Just recently, there was a news story about a child who was playing and accidentally bumped into a chair in a store, and the parents demanded compensation from the store owner.
He never thought today's news would be even more absurd, with a woman suing the road authority for tripping and falling.
Sometimes, the world can be so twisted that it’s unrecognizable.
The psychology of these people is truly hard to understand.
Zhang Lin put down his phone, washed up, and had breakfast.
On the other side, Zhao Lili was dumbfounded.
She had spent 10 million yuan on the Liyuan Farm, and today she had woken up early to finish her business and head over to the farm.
Although the video from yesterday had garnered some positive attention for the Liyuan Farm, it wasn’t enough.
But this morning, the hot news topic completely overshadowed her affairs.
Damn, 10 million yuan was too much.
...
Zhang Lin hadn't been in the farm office long when Zhong Miaoying greeted two visitors: "Mr. Zhang, County Chief Liu and Director Zhao are here!"
Zhang Lin stood up to welcome them: "County Chief Liu, Director Zhao, welcome, welcome!"
Zhong Miaoying had already started brewing tea. By the time Zhang Lin had seated County Chief Liu and Director Zhao, she had the water boiling and the tea set ready.
She poured a cup for each of them: "County Chief Liu, Director Zhao, please have some tea!"
Though she was somewhat introverted and reserved, she had become more confident over time, especially when there weren’t too many people around.
"County Chief Liu, Director Zhao, for you two to come together, there must be something important, right?" Zhang Lin asked, but he had already guessed their purpose, likely related to the moisturizing cream.
County Chief Liu smiled: "Mr. Zhang, we're here today to consult you about your farm’s moisturizing cream. We saw the news and were amazed that your farm could produce such a product. Now, everyone online is praising it, and many want to buy it but can’t."
"Mr. Zhang, can this moisturizing cream be produced on a larger scale? If there's a demand, the county can help you with loans, factories, and workers, providing all the support you need."
This was the main reason for his visit.
With this event, the Liyuan Farm’s moisturizing cream had become a well-known brand online, and it could be a great industry for the entire city.
Zhang Lin knew it was about the moisturizing cream, but he could only shake his head: "County Chief Liu, I’m afraid this will disappoint you. The moisturizing cream is made from the rapeseed oil of our special oilseed rape, which is a unique variety that can't be widely cultivated. Therefore, the production of the moisturizing cream is very limited."
County Chief Liu sighed at this.
He was somewhat disappointed, but he had already guessed this when he saw the farm selling the cream exclusively on-site. It was just a bit of a pity.
After getting the answer, County Chief Liu and Director Zhao chatted with Zhang Lin for a while before leaving.
Just then, Zhang Lin received a notification from the game system:
[In the special fertile soil, it seems two special Sun Rose seedlings have appeared!]
Zhang Lin immediately left the office and headed to the core area.
When he arrived at the two plots of fertile soil, he indeed saw that the newly planted special Sun Rose seeds had sprouted.
However, there was a problem.
The special Sun Rose seeds didn’t have the rapid growth attribute, so he couldn’t tell which two had triggered the special fertile soil’s effect by their growth.
Zhang Lin tried to identify them by sight, but he found he lacked the ability to do so.
Therefore, he could only wait until the Sun Roses matured and then harvest the seeds to determine which ones had the special properties.
However, if the special Sun Rose seeds had triggered this probability, then once the seeds were harvested, they wouldn’t need to rely on the game anymore.
When Zhang Lin returned to the office, he saw Chen Xin, his senior, grinning as he ran into his office: "Little brother, do you know it's Mu Xue’s birthday tonight?"
"Sure!" Zhang Lin nodded. Senior Sister Lin had already sent him a WeChat message, reserving a table at the Extreme Bar and inviting everyone to the party.
To be honest, he rarely went to bars and didn’t enjoy the noisy environment, but since Senior Sister Lin had invited him, he felt he should show his support.
Chen Xin smiled: "Mu Xue invited me. Do you think this means she likes me?"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother!" Zhang Lin said, though he was a bit skeptical. Previously, Senior Sister hadn’t shown any interest, and he suspected Chen Xin was just being hopeful.
"Little brother, can you go with me tonight?" Chen Xin quickly said, revealing his purpose.
"Sure!" Zhang Lin nodded and then turned to Zhong Miaoying: "Miaoying, did Senior Sister invite you too?"
Zhong Miaoying nodded: "She did, but I have to meet a relative with my mother tonight, so I told Director Lin I can’t make it."
"Alright," Zhang Lin nodded.
When he got off work, he received a WeChat message from Fu Yao: "Uncle, I’ve never been to a bar and don’t know where the Extreme Bar is. Mu Xue’s birthday is there tonight. Can you take me?"
"Sure, I’ll pick you up tonight!" Zhang Lin didn’t refuse.
On the other side, Fu Yao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhang Lin’s reply.
She had never been to a bar. Although many of her classmates organized trips to bars, their teachers often warned them against going to such places, and she felt it was inappropriate. She was hesitant to go alone, but with Uncle Zhang, it was different.
The bar is known as a nightlife spot, and it's considered early if you show up at 9 PM.
Zhang Lin only left after receiving a message from Lin Muxue confirming her arrival. He then asked for Fu Yao's location and drove to pick her up.
Fu Yao was wearing a white strapless dress tonight. She was already over 5'3" tall, and while her chest hadn't fully developed, her figure was still quite good. Her youthful and vibrant appearance was likely one of the reasons why men always seemed to prefer the young.
Standing on the street, she attracted a lot of attention, especially from men.
A few young guys nearby felt the urge to approach her and ask for her WeChat.
But when a Mercedes S-Class pulled up next to Fu Yao, the young guys reluctantly gave up their plans and started to complain:
"Of course, all the good girls end up with rich guys!"
"Big deal, a Mercedes S!"
"Maybe we should get into the internet business? I have a friend who made over 10 million yuan in a month!"
"Got connections? Even if we have to do time, it's worth it. Life isn't worth living like this."
"..."
Seeing Zhang Lin's car arrive, Fu Yao quickly got into the passenger seat and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle!"
"You look beautiful tonight," Zhang Lin complimented, making her blush slightly.
The Ultimate Bar was located on the south side of the central square.
When Zhang Lin and Fu Yao arrived, the bar was already filled with loud DJ music that made your eardrums throb. The special neon lights added an intimate atmosphere to the space.
It was Fu Yao's first time in a bar, and she was quite nervous, instinctively grabbing onto the hem of Zhang Lin's shirt.
Zhang Lin understood that this was probably her first time in such a place. He smiled, took her hand, and led her inside.
Fu Yao looked at Zhang Lin's back, feeling her cheeks heat up and her heart race.
Uncle is holding my hand?
This made her cheeks flush and her heart beat faster!
Zhang Lin quickly found Lin Muxue and the others, as the group of girls was quite noticeable.
She had invited the girls from the operations and HR departments, and among them, only Chen Xiong, a male colleague, was present, making them stand out even more. People were probably already speculating about Chen Xiong's identity.
"Junior, you're finally here," Chen Xiong greeted Zhang Lin, and as he sat down, he complained, "Junior, this bar is terrible. They let anyone in. A few strangers just came over to drink with Muxue and the others, and the bar staff didn't do anything."
Zhang Lin looked around and indeed saw many people staring at their group.
It was understandable. In small towns, bars didn't have as many rules as those in big cities. For just over 900 yuan, you could enter and order a table with two cases of beer. This led to a mix of people, many with less-than-honorable intentions.
Zhang Lin took out his phone and sent a message to Liu De, asking him to find Ye Ling, the security supervisor, and have him bring a few people to the bar to keep an eye on things.
After all, they were his farm employees, and it was better to keep an eye on them to avoid any trouble.
Although it wasn't ideal to interfere with employees' after-work lives, he decided to remind Lin Muxue and the others to use private rooms if they wanted to go out in Youcheng in the future.
At Lishan Farm,
Liu De, upon receiving the boss's instructions, didn't hesitate and immediately found Ye Ling, the security supervisor. "The boss wants you to bring some people to the bar to keep an eye on things!"
"Go to the bar? Did something happen to the boss?" Ye Ling asked, then shouted to the dormitory, "Security department, everyone out! The boss is in trouble at the bar."
One by one, the security guards, dressed in black tank tops and shorts, emerged from the dormitory.
Apart from those on duty, over 30 of them came out, each carrying a baton.
"Let's go, don't keep the boss waiting!" Ye Ling said to Liu De.
"..." Liu De was taken aback. The boss had said to bring a few people, not this many.
It didn't seem like that was the intention.
But he wasn't sure, given the situation at the bar.
Seeing Ye Ling had already gathered the people, he called for Lin Dawei and Lin Dayou to drive the farm's tricycles.
Ye Ling led the group into the vehicles and they set off for Youcheng in a grand procession.
When the vehicles stopped at the central square, Ye Ling led the group of burly security guards out, each holding a baton. Their intimidating presence made passersby instinctively move out of the way.
They looked like a group of thugs.
"Where is the Ultimate Bar?" Ye Ling politely asked a young passerby.
The young man pointed in a direction, swallowing hard, and his mind was already imagining scenes from movies where bars were smashed and fights broke out.
Once Ye Ling and his group moved on, the young man quickly took out his phone and sent a message to a group chat: "Guys, I just saw a big scene!"
After finding the location, Ye Ling led his group directly to the Ultimate Bar, quickly spotting its sign.
At the entrance of the Ultimate Bar, two security guards were seated. They saw Ye Ling and his group approaching and immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
"Shit..."
"What's going on?"
The two security guards ran into the side entrance, terrified.
