"What a pity for what?" Wang Hao asked anxiously.
"Young man, let me tell you, this Lingzhi mushroom is at least three hundred years old. Such an aged Lingzhi is extremely rare. As a collectible, it would fetch a higher value. It’s just a shame that so much of its spore powder is missing now; it can only be used for medicinal purposes."
Peng Hailin paused to think before continuing.
"If it were intact as a collectible, it could sell for six million. For medicinal use, it’s less; at most, I can offer four million—no more."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao was dumbfounded, glaring angrily at Chen Hongying.
Although four million was not a small amount, surpassing his expectations, the fact that Chen Hongying took a bite and cost him two million, still left him feeling unbalanced.
"I told you not to eat it, a bite cost two million, why didn’t your nosebleed finish you off then," Wang Hao cursed inwardly.
Chen Hongying, seeing Wang Hao’s expression, blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.
After all, the older ginger is spicier. Peng Hailin had already noticed something from Wang Hao’s expression.
He handed a business card to Wang Hao, saying,
"I’ll take it for four million. If you’re willing to sell it today, I’ll transfer the money immediately, but if not, think it over and give me a call anytime."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hongying’s expression changed in an instant. They were going to bypass her and make the transaction directly!
Wouldn’t that mean all her efforts were for naught?
"No need to think it over; I’ll sell it today."
Wang Hao was not a petty man. If not for Chen Hongying’s introduction, he wouldn’t have found such a knowledgeable buyer or fetched such a high price. He could let go of that two million.
Four million satisfied Wang Hao as well.
With Wang Hao’s consent, Peng Hailin stepped outside and made a call. The four million was transferred swiftly.
Wang Hao thought that this old man was extremely efficient; four million, transferred just like that—not a simple feat!
"Then, please take good care of this Lingzhi mushroom, Mr. Peng. I’ve still got work to do in the fields, so I’ll be off. Perhaps we can collaborate again in the future!"
After speaking, Wang Hao gave back the bank card with one and a half million to Chen Hongying and left Su Zhenping’s home.
Now that the four million was in hand, the stone hanging in Wang Hao’s chest had fallen to the ground.
Although people saw Wang Hao as a big spender, that was not the case; he was just investing upfront.
His goal was not just to make money for himself; he wanted to uplift the economy of the entire Chen Village, leading everyone to prosperity together.
"No need to worry about money now, I must hurry and tell Xia Xue, so she can also speed things up on her end."
Feeling incredibly happy, Wang Hao thought of calling Xia Xue right away to share the joy.
"Hello, Xia Xue, where are you? I’ve got great news—I have money now, four million. We don’t have to worry about being broke anymore. Finish the soil analysis and come back soon."
Wang Hao said excitedly.
"Hmm... I’m in the city, um, don’t worry, I’ll get it done as quickly as possible."
Xia Xue spoke hesitantly.
"Have you run into some trouble?"
Wang Hao could tell from Xia Xue’s tone that she had encountered some issues.
"No, don’t worry, I’ll try to get it done by tomorrow and give you the results," Xia Xue replied before hanging up the phone hastily.
Get it done quickly? By tomorrow? Does it take that long to analyze a few samples?
The more Wang Hao thought about it, the more something seemed off. Looking back, Xia Xue’s tone sounded like she had been wronged.
"No, something must have happened; I need to go and see." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Deciding to head to the city, Wang Hao returned to the fields, gave some instructions to the villagers, and boarded the bus heading to the city.
...
"Oh my, dear, what made you think of taking me shopping today?"
A seductive woman could be seen flirting with a middle-aged man in the seat in front of Wang Hao.
"You accompany me to the hospital for an X-ray, and I’ll take you shopping—buy whatever you like."
The man murmured, his lascivious hand caressing the woman’s palm, as his head instinctively buried itself in her bosom.
The woman did not resist but instead smiled coquettishly.
Soon, the man’s hand slowly roamed toward the woman’s thigh, stroking for a while before sliding under her skirt...
Unconcerned by others, the two flaunted their affection, with the woman occasionally letting out a soft moan, which made Wang Hao itch inside.
Although he was a good man, he could hardly resist a live broadcast.
So Wang Hao cleared his throat and said, "Buddy, can you hold it off for now? This is a public place."
"Who the hell are you to be so nosy?"
The man, interrupted during the intimate act, turned around and cursed loudly.
"Oh, it’s Zhou Mazi! What happened to your head? Why is it wrapped up like a zongzi?"
Wang Hao asked with a smile.
In fact, he knew it was from the beating in his greenhouse last night and was deliberately teasing Zhou Mazi by saying this.
Zhou Mazi never expected to run into Wang Hao on the bus, and now to have his good time interrupted by him, gnashing his teeth with irritation.
"I got bitten by a dog last night."
Zhou Mazi grumbled in response.
"Let me tell you, someone kindly gifted me a storage battery last night, and I can’t even find the person to thank him."
Wang Hao feigned helplessness as he spoke.
Zhou Mazi felt irritated at the mention of the storage battery, as his injury was also due to the storage battery. He suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Wang Hao, but the effort caused his head to throb with pain.
"By the way, it wasn’t you who brought it, was it? I remember in our village, you were the only one who prepared a storage battery for digging a pond to raise fish."
Wang Hao continued to mock with a sinister smile.
Zhou Mazi knew Wang Hao was deliberately trying to upset him and desperately wanted to pounce on him and give him a good thrashing.
Watching Zhou Mazi’s frustration, Wang Hao found it extremely funny; his mood instantly lightened considerably, and he continued to sit back, close his eyes, and rest.
Soon, the bus reached its destination.
"My goodness, why is your head bleeding?"
As he was about to stand up, the sexy beauty saw the reddening bandage on Zhou Mazi’s head and cried out in alarm.
Seeing this, Wang Hao snickered secretly. Injured and still not behaving, trying to sneak into the arms of love, acting as if he had an iron head.
"What’s all the shouting for? Hurry up and go to the hospital!"
Zhou Mazi, holding his head, ran towards the direction of the hospital, leaving the hot girl chasing after him.
Watching Zhou Mazi’s departing figure, Wang Hao chuckled, then turned and took a taxi to the soil testing agency. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The testing agency looked high-end and classy, but it was almost empty.
After all, who would dig up some soil to test on any regular day?
"Hey? Wang Hao!"
Just at the entrance, he met a young man who seemed to recognize Wang Hao.
Hearing someone call his name, Wang Hao was also puzzled. How could he know someone here?
Upon closer inspection, he laughed.
"Wang Ming! Aren’t you collecting centipedes? What brings you here to test the soil?"
Wang Hao asked in confusion.
"Isn’t it because of those giant red centipedes you have?"
Wang Ming continued to explain.
"Those giant red centipedes are of great medicinal value but are on the verge of extinction and very rare. We suddenly found four of them in Chen Village’s back mountain, so there must be a reason."
"I noticed you had soil from the back mountain on that snakeskin bag, so I brought some to test and see if we can attempt artificial breeding of the giant red centipedes."
Wang Ming thoroughly explained to Wang Hao, who paid attention only to "artificial breeding."
He knew that the giant red centipedes existed because of the nourishment from Blood Ganoderma. If he kept cultivating Blood Ganoderma, might it attract more giant red centipedes?
Fifty thousand a piece was no small sum.
But Wang Hao also knew that the giant red centipedes were facing extinction; catching one meant one less of them.
He wondered if he should try artificial breeding and then raise them with Blood Ganoderma?
Lost in thought, suddenly a middle-aged man in a suit, slightly plump, approached Wang Ming.
"Do you two know each other?"
