The night deepened.
Aside from a few romantic couples renting tents to camp on the grounds, Qinglin Villa was empty of guests.
Qin Lin rode his electric scooter out of the villa with Zhao Moqing.
As it slowly entered mid-October, riding the scooter at night was already a bit chilly. Zhao Moqing felt the coolness and hugged Qin Lin tightly, pressing against his back.
"Moqing, let's buy a car first. What brand do you like?" Qin Lin also felt a hint of the cold.
In a little more time, it would really be cold, and riding a scooter would make going out an ordeal.
Before, he didn't have the means, but now he did. He couldn't let Zhao Moqing suffer like this every time she went out.
"Your villa's debt hasn't been paid off yet, and you're planning to start a rafting project. Is there enough money? Should we wait until the debt is paid off before buying one? We don't need a car to save face," Zhao Moqing said. She knew Qin Lin owed millions to get the villa started, and now the rafting project would also cost a lot of money.
Qin Lin's villa was just starting to pick up, so she naturally hoped the money would be used where it was most needed.
Of course, she didn't know about the money Qin Lin made from his risk-free business, nor did she know that Qin Lin didn't owe any money at all.
But these sincere words filled Qin Lin with happiness. Compared to that troublemaker woman, Zhao Moqing was simply the best gift heaven had given him.
After dropping Zhao Moqing off at the Dongcheng Mingyuan residential complex and watching her go upstairs, Qin Lin finally left with peace of mind.
Zhao Moqing was in a great mood, humming a cheerful tune as she went upstairs.
Qin Lin's life was becoming more promising, which completely relieved the pressure in her heart.
She had secretly taken the household registration book and gotten married to Qin Lin before because she truly loved him and believed they could work together to have a beautiful future.
Now, everything was developing in a good direction.
With Qin Lin's current advantages, her parents no longer had to worry about her marrying him and suffering.
When she returned home, she saw her mother and sister-in-law watching a melodramatic Korean drama, seemingly about a series of twists and turns happening on the rooftop of a building.
"So late, out with Qin Lin again?" Chen Xiao asked as soon as she saw her daughter return.
"Mom, you look so beautiful tonight, like you've gotten younger," Zhao Moqing immediately replied, deflecting the question.
"Still changing the subject," Chen Xiao said with annoyance. "Tomorrow is the weekend. Accompany me to Aunt Liu's house. It's her birthday."
"Mom, you can go to Aunt Liu's birthday by yourself. I have something to do tomorrow," Zhao Moqing said, and quickly slipped away to her room.
How could she not know that Aunt Liu had a son who had just returned? Her mother was guarding Qin Lin like a thief. She felt she should find Qin Lin and discuss it, maybe even have a showdown.
Living room.
Seeing Zhao Moqing close her door, Chen Xiao looked at Li Jiawen and said with annoyance, "She's definitely going to see Qin Lin tomorrow. You, as her sister-in-law, aren't you going to say anything to her? It's not that Qin Lin is bad, but as his sister-in-law, do you just want to watch your sister-in-law suffer?"
"Mom, Moqing gave me some tickets to the flower sea last time. My friends and I planned to go see the flower sea tomorrow. My friend just sent a voice message," Li Jiawen said, pretending to pick up her phone and talk to the air.
Honestly, she was similar in age to Zhao Moqing and understood her sister-in-law's thoughts.
More importantly, because of her sister-in-law, she had also interacted with Qin Lin. Setting aside their family situation, Qin Lin was actually very good.
When Qin Lin returned home, he also saw his mother holding Wangcai and watching a melodramatic TV show. He glanced at the title, and it seemed to be about a melodramatic plot with twists and turns happening on a rooftop.
This melodramatic show seemed quite popular recently, especially among women aged 30 to 50.
"You're back?" Lin Fen said, turning off the TV and standing up when she saw her son return.
Wangcai rushed forward, greeting him and circling around him.
"Mom, how are you feeling today?" Qin Lin asked with a smile.
"Physically well, but in a bad mood!" Lin Fen snorted.
Qin Lin was stunned and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy? Is it Wangcai?"
"Woo woo woo!" Wangcai immediately whined and jumped around, as if eager to defend itself, saying it wasn't him.
Lin Fen snorted, "Don't blame Wangcai. You're the one who made me unhappy. Don't you know people can't stay at home all day? You need to go out more and do things appropriately, or you'll get sick. I'm not like your Aunt Ergen or Aunt Dalin, who have children to take care of..."
"Mom, please stop. I'll let you come to the villa tomorrow, okay?" Qin Lin saw through his mother's intention.
She wasn't giving up.
For the past month or so, he had been feeding his mother Quality 2 wild crucian carp. With the +2 attribute, his mother's health had indeed improved somewhat. As long as she was happy, let her do it. Just let her do some trivial registration work.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Lin Fen happily turned on the TV again and continued watching the melodramatic show.
Qin Lin, on the other hand, took a shower and returned to his room. As soon as he finished drying himself, a prompt sounded in the light screen in his mind.
He immediately looked at the game on the light screen; more crops had matured.
It was the 6 plots specifically used to sell in-game gold coins. Their maturity time was slightly later than the other 24 Level 1 plots.
Qin Lin controlled his game character to harvest the okra from these 6 plots. After selling them in the game and planting new seeds, he received a system prompt: "[Character Level Up!]"
Another level up!
Qin Lin's face lit up with joy, and he immediately looked at the light screen in his mind.
After this level-up, 6 new plots were unlocked, and he could also upgrade 6 Level 1 plots to Level 2.
This meant the number of Level 1 plots remained unchanged, but he gained 6 additional Level 2 plots.
Besides that, it could even develop a Level 1 paddy field.
This stunned Qin Lin.
Paddy field?
This newly updated version has this too?
The old version definitely didn't.
Qin Lin didn't dwell on it. He directly controlled his game character to develop all 6 available Level 1 plots, and then upgraded these 6 Level 1 plots directly to Level 2.
Over the past month, 6 plots of Level 1 land had been selling okra in the game every day. He had enough gold coins to upgrade the land.
After finishing the upgrade to 6 plots of Level 2 land, he directly planted strawberry seeds.
Now that there were more tourists, over 600 jin of Quality 1 strawberries per day wasn't enough. Many tourists would buy some, and because they were delicious, some tourists would even take a few jin home after leaving, making it impossible for many tourists to buy any.
Now with an additional 6 plots of Level 2 land, he could harvest over 600 jin of Quality 1 red strawberries tomorrow, increasing his income by about 25,000.
Next, Qin Lin controlled his game character to develop that one Level 1 paddy field. He controlled his game character to head to the seed shop in Mineral Town again. As expected, some new seeds had become available: rice, wheat, soybeans, corn, and other grains.
So there were fruits, vegetables, and seafood, and now they've added staple foods?
And the price of rice seems to have increased quite a bit, already over 4 yuan per jin.
But looking at the seeds he had developed, he made a surprising discovery:
[☆Xiangshui Rice Seed: Quality 1]
[This is a special variety of rice seed. After long-term research, strict quality control, and continuous optimization, it is a carefully selected strain. After planting, you can harvest Xiangshui Tribute Rice! Modified by the game, it can be planted regardless of season and has a chance to mutate, allowing it to adapt to environmental changes once (Restriction: Game Seed) Maturity time: 12 hours.]
Xiangshui Tribute Rice?
Qin Lin was truly surprised.
Don't look at ordinary rice which is only 2-4 yuan per jin, but the prices of some top-tier rice are unimaginable for ordinary people. For example:
Jingyang Rice: 8400 yuan per jin. Wannian Tribute Rice: 6900 yuan per jin. Yutian Yan Zhi Rice: 2000 yuan per jin. Beidahuang "Tou Mi": 1888 yuan per jin. Zhefang Tribute Rice: 499 yuan per jin. Fangshuixian Lengshuihong: 368 yuan per jin.
The prices of these types of rice were astonishing, purely items for the tables of the wealthy. Ordinary people couldn't even imagine eating them, let alone hearing about them.
And Xiangshui Tribute Rice was 500 yuan per jin.
