For the next three days, Qin Lin completed the relevant court procedures. However, the approval documents from other relevant departments still required another three days.
This was already considered fast; he'd heard that some court auction properties took months, even half a year, for approval.
During these three days, besides earning 116,076 yuan, the game in his mind, combined with the game currency from fishing and planting okra on the newly opened 6 plots, finally allowed him to upgrade that Level 3 plot.
Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to head to the seed shop in Miner Town.
As the Level 3 land was upgraded, the Level 3 seeds available for purchase also lit up.
A quick glance revealed seeds like multi-core four-angled beans, yellow heart pickled lettuce, green-skinned kiwi, Dandong milk strawberry... and more.
These were considered light luxury goods in the market, falling under vegetables and fruits, often selling for dozens or even hundreds of yuan per jin outside.
There was also a seed that surprised Qin Lin; it had a star in front of it, making it particularly eye-catching.
Focusing on the star symbol brought up a remark: it represented a mysterious treasure, extremely rare, and a randomly refreshed Level 3 seed in the shop.
[☆ Seedless Watermelon Seed (Quality 2)]
[A specially cultivated seed that grows delicious watermelons, with no seasonal planting restrictions and an extremely short growth cycle.]
This seed even had Quality 2? He'd never seen that before. It probably meant all the watermelons grown from it would be Quality 2. Plus, no seasonal restrictions and a short cycle, that was amazing.
The moment he saw this seed, various thoughts flashed through Qin Lin's mind.
This thing was incredible.
Besides that, Level 3 land could also plant some higher-grade ornamental plant seedlings.
When he saw a seedling of a seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea, he immediately remembered Zhao Moqing's words: Bougainvillea Sea.
Qin Lin quickly took out his phone and searched online, discovering that this multi-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea was a high-grade variety.
Multi-color symbiosis meant grafting different colored bougainvillea varieties together, allowing a single plant to grow flowers of several colors. It was beautiful and highly ornamental.
Naturally, the more symbiotic colors, the more valuable it was.
Online, a 3-color symbiotic ornamental plant, once cultivated into a mature plant, sold for no less than 3,000 yuan each. A 5-color symbiotic one could even reach 5,000 yuan.
But the one in the game was seven-color symbiotic, which was very rare. While 3-color and 5-color symbiosis were relatively easy to cultivate, 7-color was very difficult.
Qin Lin was planning to create a bougainvillea sea for Zhao Moqing as a surprise, and this was perfect timing, wasn't it?
Moreover, after buying the villa, a bougainvillea sea was indeed a very good plan.
An ordinary bougainvillea sea could attract many people. With his 7-color symbiotic variety, produced by the game with attribute bonuses, why would he worry about no visitors?
In the areas around You City and Shacheng, there wasn't a single decent bougainvillea viewing area.
If he could use these game-produced mature seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants to create a bougainvillea sea at the villa, it would absolutely be a major highlight and selling point.
Furthermore, the southern climate was relatively warm, and the bougainvillea flowering season wouldn't start until mid-November. There were still two months until the flowering season.
At that time, he could charge 50 yuan for bougainvillea viewing tickets.
If 100 people visited daily, ticket sales alone would be 5,000 yuan.
200 people would be 10,000 yuan.
With good promotion, the number of visitors would be even higher.
By then, would he still need to supply strawberries and okra to RT-Mart?
He could just find a place in the villa to build a purely natural fruit and vegetable supermarket. The game-produced items were inherently tastier, so why wouldn't people buy them? Why let others profit from the price difference?
Wouldn't that be great?
After buying the villa, he naturally wanted to develop a business.
Qin Lin acted as soon as he thought of it, immediately clicking to buy the seven-color ornamental bougainvillea seedling.
"Flowering type seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea seedling (group): A special type of seedling. After planting and maturing, you can obtain beautiful and ornamental bougainvillea plants. One group of seedlings can randomly yield 20-30 mature plants.
Maturity period: 3 days."
Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to plant this group of seedlings he had bought into that Level 3 plot.
Another three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qin Lin finally completed all the procedures for Fuhai Villa.
When he signed his name at the Administration for Industry and Commerce and obtained the business license, health permit, and other relevant documents, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From today onwards, Fuhai Villa belonged to him. However, he changed its name to Qinglin Villa.
"Spring scenery, rocky, secluded woods, dense and verdant, freely flying without becoming dew!"
How poetic and picturesque?
Of course, that was nonsense. He simply took one character from his name and one from Zhao Moqing's.
During these three days, supplying strawberries and okra to RT-Mart brought in another 120,146 yuan. His bank balance reached 353,419 yuan again.
After taking all the procedures and certificates home, Qin Lin rode his small electric scooter out of the county town and headed to Fuhai Villa.
Fuhai Villa was less than a 30-minute drive from the county town, very close. Moreover, it was located at the intersection of Shacheng, the city, and You City, with heavy traffic.
The location was excellent; it was just that the previous owner didn't know how to run a business.
Even that run-down place by Dongmin Lake, which was remote, managed to thrive with fishing and agritainment.
This place has a much better location and better potential conditions, yet it was turned into a place for a few corrupt officials to feast and brag.
The key is that these bragging blowhards, who were feasting and bragging, had their actions recorded in a short video and posted online. Don't they know what era it is?
Qin Lin had been to Fuhai Villa once before, but this time arriving at the villa, his mindset and feelings were completely different.
This was already his own property.
When Qin Lin arrived, he parked his small electric scooter in the parking lot and chose to walk into the villa to observe it carefully.
How big is 500 mu? It's about 47 large football fields.
Naturally, having only spent 1.2 million, he didn't need to think about how much of this 500 mu had been developed; most of it was wasteland.
The main structures were a decent reception hall and a few dormitories, along with several simple building areas that were mostly open-air private rooms.
These private rooms were provided for tourists, and outside each room, there were cooking and barbecue stations.
When tourists come to this kind of villa to play, don't they mostly want to cook for themselves?
The feeling of cooking for fun is completely different from cooking at home.
Of course, the villa also had its own kitchen. For those who couldn't or didn't want to cook, they could order dishes prepared by the chefs.
Not far away, there was also a vegetable garden area where tourists could pick their own produce.
And a fish pond where not a single fish could be seen.
What pleased Qin Lin was that further behind, there were recreational facilities like swings and jungle adventures, as well as a grass-sliding activity.
These facilities didn't cost much, and the gameplay was simple, but at least guests had something to do.
Moreover, around these facilities, there were some potted plants and flowers, which could be considered a minor highlight.
However, not far from the main building, he saw two large trees, dozens of meters tall, enclosed by a fence. Their branches were withered, and they exuded an aura of decay.
Yet, these two dead trees were specifically surrounded by stone walls, and there were signs of fertilizer, indicating an attempt to revive them.
There was even a sign hanging on them: 500-year-old ancient ginkgo.
Were these actually two ginkgo trees?
It reminded him of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree planted by Li Shimin, which was now a popular internet celebrity tree.
But clearly, not all ginkgo trees were as lucky as that one, having received the best care for a thousand years and still flourishing today.
These two were already close to death.
It's not just people who care about their origins; trees do too!
Besides these, the rest of the villa grounds were bare wasteland, especially the area around the reservoir. It was likely just arbitrarily fenced in back then, with no thought of utilizing it.
How to evaluate it? From his perspective as a tourism management major, he could only say it was barely passing in a place like You City. In the suburbs of a major city, it wouldn't even meet the passing grade.
Simply put, there was nothing eye-catching to attract customers.
Therefore, if he wanted to develop the villa, he had to create a compelling highlight. The plan for a Bougainvillea Sea was something he had to proceed with.
As Qin Lin was thinking, a prompt appeared in his mind's game interface. The seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plant in that Level 3 plot had finally matured. Calculating the time, it seemed to be a batch of mature plants every 3 days, which was 6 times longer than for strawberries and okra.
Qin Lin controlled his game character to harvest the Level 3 seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants.
[Obtained 25 mature seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants!]
This time, the mature seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants were not stored in the storage room but in a mature plant storage yard behind the ranch.
Next, he controlled his game character to purchase new seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea seedlings (sets) and replant them.
After finishing, Qin Lin walked to the restroom in the main hall, entered a stall, and with a thought, entered the game.
Once in the game, he went directly to the yard where the mature seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants were stored.
As soon as he entered the yard, his eyes lit up.
Looking at the bougainvillea plants lined up, their seven colors intertwined, giving him a feeling of stunning beauty and amazement. It was a comfortable and pleasing sight, his gaze involuntarily drawn to them.
These were so much more beautiful than the 5-color symbiotic bougainvillea plants, each selling for 5,000 online, that he had seen.
When controlling the game character to harvest them, he easily moved these bougainvillea plants into the yard. But now, standing before them, these bougainvillea plants were actually taller than him, with their roots still wrapped in transplanting soil.
Then, he touched one of the bougainvillea plants and saw its description.
[Prolific Flowering Seven-Color Symbiotic Ornamental Bougainvillea Plant: Quality 2]
[This is a special variety of ornamental bougainvillea, standing 2.5 meters tall with a crown width of 2 meters and a flower diameter of 12 centimeters. It is extremely vibrant, possesses high ornamental value, is easy to transplant, and blooms year-round.]
[Game Production: Vibrancy +2, Ornamental Value +2, Attractiveness +2, Mood Enhancement +2, Photogenic +2, Transplant Survival Rate +2!]
Qin Lin marveled, no wonder they could attract people at first glance.
They had so many attributes.
And what did year-round blooming mean?
Due to special southern temperatures, bougainvillea flowering season is generally from November to June. In the north, the flowering period is similar in length.
However, year-round blooming is extremely rare.
Some ornamental bougainvillea plants, meticulously cultivated by private individuals, might achieve year-round blooming, but it's impossible on a large scale.
Now, creating a flower sea with these 7-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea plants would mean they bloom all year round, and with the added attributes from the game production.
That would be terrifying.
It also meant this flower sea could generate income all year round.
