The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C599 – Fairy Wang Xuan

For half an hour, Su Ming sat with the phone incessantly ringing across from him. When he spoke, it was about deals worth tens of millions. When silent, he conversed in foreign tongues. A notebook lay before him, receiving occasional taps and scribbles. He would often furrow his brow, lost in deep thought. His handsome features, coupled with his air of busyness, drew the gaze of many admiring women.

But who was Su Ming, really? He had seen his fair share of pretenders, and this man was clearly putting on an act, perhaps a bit too enthusiastically. A truly successful person would have booked a private room for such calls to protect the confidentiality of business matters, not broadcast them loudly for all to hear.

​Especially not in a bustling hall filled with noise and passersby. Have you ever seen a top executive make calls in such an environment?

​Eventually, he ended his call and exhaled heavily. “Ah, the company has so many orders lately. Why can’t these people sort things out before bringing them to me?” It sounded like he was talking to himself, but it was clear to all that he was boasting.

​Looking up, he caught sight of Su Ming and his face brightened. “Aiyo, isn’t that Su Ming?”

​”You are…?” Su Ming blinked in recognition, feeling sure he’d seen the man before. They must have met previously, but he couldn’t quite place him.

“I’m Wang Xuan, your classmate from junior high,” Wang Xuan blurted out.

“Eh…” Su Ming scratched his head, drawing a blank.

“Don’t you remember? I ranked third in our class.”

“No, doesn’t ring a bell.”

“I was the one who frequently gave speeches for our class!”

“Uh… sorry, still not coming to me.”

“In our third year, I… in the girls’ restroom…”

“Aha! Now I remember! My good man, the year you set off those firecrackers in the restroom was legendary. The whole schoolyard echoed with the sound, and we got an entire week off. My thanks to you!”

Su Ming’s memory clicked into place.

Wang Xuan’s face turned a sickly shade of green.

My goodness.

Back in the day, my grades were stellar, and I often represented our class on the podium, yet you couldn’t recall a single instance.

But you remember that one thing I did with crystal clarity.

And to bring it up in front of everyone like that.

Damn!

He’s definitely just jealous of my current success, saying that to spite me. Just wait!

“Yeah, it’s been ages since we’ve seen each other.”

“So, what have you been up to lately?”

Wang Xuan asked, his smile thinly veiling a probing intent.

“Oh, not much.”

Su Ming replied with a leisurely smile, “I’ve taken up farming.”

“Farming?!”

Hearing Su Ming’s response, Wang Xuan could hardly contain his glee.

So, you’re just a farmer?

You’re no match for me, not by a long shot!

“And what have you been busy with recently?”

Su Ming was well aware of Wang Xuan’s desire to brag, so he decided to play along and give him an opening.

Wang Xuan’s spirits soared at the opportunity.

This was the opening he needed.

Well then, I won’t hold back. Time to strut my stuff!

“I’ve been doing alright. Over the years, I’ve started a company and got into some international trade. Haven’t made a fortune, just a few tens of millions.”

Wang Xuan said, casually revealing a luxury watch on his wrist with a nonchalant smile. Su Ming glanced at it and recognized a limited edition Patek Philippe, worth no less than 300,000 yuan.

Truth be told, such a watch might impress others, but to Su Ming, it was trivial.

“Wow, that watch must have set you back a bit, right? Costs a few thousand to get one?”

Su Ming feigned complete ignorance.

“Heh!”

Predictably, Wang Xuan scoffed at the comment, his inner contempt for Su Ming’s naivety clear. What could a simpleton like you possibly understand?

“Su, you’re really out of the loop. This is a limited edition piece. It cost me 380,000 yuan!”

Wang Xuan boasted, his tone dripping with the expectation of praise.

“Wow, Wang Xuan really lived up to his reputation as the top student in our class back in the day. He’s quite impressive, unlike me who’s been stuck farming for so long.”

Su Ming nodded with a smile.

“It’s alright, I’ve just met a lot of people. I’ve rubbed shoulders with wealthy folks from all over the world. I guess I’m doing okay.”

Wang Xuan downplayed his success with a ‘don’t admire me too much’ attitude.

Su Ming chuckled to himself, thinking how full of himself Wang Xuan was, practically ready to soar with pride.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Truth be told, I actually envy you freelancers. You don’t have to run around like I do, attending meetings and flying everywhere, dealing with foreigners all the time. It’s exhausting.”

As Wang Xuan spoke, he shook his head, yet he couldn’t quite hide the smugness in his voice.

Su Ming found it amusing. He had encountered plenty of show-offs, but Wang Xuan was at best silver-league in that regard.

Compared to the real big shots, he was way out of his league!

But he was right about one thing: farming is indeed worry-free for me.

No choice there, the System is just that powerful, and now I even have an AI assistant.

“So, old classmate, what brings you to Beijing? Surely it’s not just for sightseeing?”

Finally finding someone he perceived as less accomplished, Wang Xuan couldn’t resist showing off a bit more.

“Yeah, just taking a stroll.”

Su Ming replied with a casual smile.

“Beijing is a great place. How many times have you visited?”

Wang Xuan inquired.

“This is my first time.”

Su Ming answered honestly.

“I envy you, getting to experience the novelty of a first visit. I’ve been here so many times I’ve lost count. It’s become so familiar, and every trip ends up costing me thousands. It’s such a hassle.”

Wang Xuan went on with his humblebrag: “It’s mainly because of my girlfriend. Sure, she’s beautiful, but she also loves to shop. Every visit means spending on clothes and bags. Take my advice, don’t get a girlfriend who’s too pretty—it’s not easy on the wallet.”

Just then, a girl approached, fetching enough to score at least an eight.

With makeup, she’d easily hit 8.5.

Seeing his girlfriend, Wang Xuan’s pride swelled even more as he began to recount their epic love story.

He boasted about the amount of money he’d spent and the lengths he’d gone to in pursuit of her, emphasizing the effort it took.

His speech brimmed with self-congratulation.

“Ah, it was tough, but in the end, I won her over. Men like to save face, you know. Having such a gorgeous girlfriend makes me look good when I’m out and about.”

“Of course, you wouldn’t get it, Su Ming, but that’s okay, right? After all, ordinary folks like you are in the majority.”

Wang Xuan offered a serene smile.
