…
The two shriveled seeds he had just picked out.
In just a few minutes, they had sprouted vines?
Chu Tianshu was speechless.
These were seedless watermelons!
The seeds of seedless melons are specially cultivated.
Seeds obtained from such melons shouldn’t be able to sprout.
And they definitely shouldn’t grow this fast.
“Incredible!”
Chu Tianshu cupped his hands and scooped up some water from the Spirit Spring Pond.
He poured it over the melon sprouts.
Then.
The sprouts grew rapidly at a visible pace.
After about five minutes, they had grown quite long, and the leaves had turned dark green.
Slowly, yellow flowers bloomed along the vines.
Chu Tianshu sat on the ground waiting.
Eventually, the flowers withered.
No watermelons formed.
“Seedless watermelons ultimately can’t reproduce on their own.”
“But the growth speed of plants in this space is much faster than outside!”
“It’s already fast to begin with, and the Spirit Spring Water can accelerate growth even further…”
Chu Tianshu analyzed.
His heart burned with excitement.
Couldn’t he plant other things in this land?
With this crop growth speed.
If he couldn’t earn two hundred million in six months, he’d write his name backwards.
Chu Tianshu narrowed his eyes in thought, considering what would be the most cost-effective to plant.
Should he take the affordable route with small profits but quick turnover, or create a high-end brand for the wealthy?
As a seasoned businessman.
He wanted both.
After all, he was currently deep in debt.
He needed to find ways to accumulate some startup capital.
Slowly build up the industry chain, capturing both the mass market and the high-end market simultaneously.
Chu Tianshu scooped another handful of water and drank a few sips himself.
“Oh my god!”
An indescribable sensation.
It tasted somewhat like mineral water.
But no mineral water could compare.
An extremely pure taste, with a faint sweetness.
After drinking it.
His entire body felt refreshed.
As if every cell was filled with pure energy, incredibly full, gently expanding…
After drinking this water, his tongue longed for the taste so much that his mouth continuously secreted sweet saliva.
Making him want to drink more!
The aftertaste was endless.
The more he savored it, the sweeter it became.
Chu Tianshu glanced at the unfinished seedless watermelon on the ground.
Suddenly, it tasted like chewing wax.
Not sweet at all, might as well throw it to the fish.
The band-aid on his hand was coming loose.
He tore it off directly.
The wound was healing rapidly, forming a scab that felt itchy.
Normally, a nearly two-centimeter cut shouldn’t heal this quickly.
“It’s amazing, almost unreal.”
If he hadn’t experienced it himself, Chu Tianshu would never have believed such miraculous things existed in the world.
Since the healing effect was this good.
I wonder if it could…
Cure cancer!
Even if it didn’t have a significant effect, it could at least strengthen the body.
Chu Tianshu couldn’t help but hold onto a sliver of hope.
Might as well try it, just in case it really worked.
Actually, many Chinese medicinal herbs contain anti-cancer components.
It’s just that well-aged, high-quality herbs are hard to find and very expensive.
If all else failed, he could try growing medicinal herbs in his space and combine them with other treatments.
No matter what, his mother’s outcome would be better than in his previous life.
Having made this decision, Chu Tianshu formed a plan.
He exited the space.
Drove out.
First went to the nearest water delivery store and bought ten empty purified water barrels.
Also bought two water dispensers.
To avoid being seen when entering the space.
Chu Tianshu chose to operate from his old family home.
Using his mind, he moved all ten barrels into the space.
Using the Spirit Spring Water, he filled them all up and then sealed them.
After using the equivalent of 10 buckets, the water level in the Spirit Spring Pond showed no change at all.
Chu Tianshu felt much more at ease.
It seemed he didn’t need to worry about the water supply for now.
He left 6 buckets of water at home.
Chu Tianshu took 4 buckets of Spirit Spring Water and headed to the Four Seasons Fresh Fruit Store.
Xu Xiuxia was still in the shop, dozing off while watching TV.
There wasn’t a single customer.
Chu Tianshu carried the buckets of water into the shop one by one.
When Xu Xiuxia saw this, she immediately complained, “Oh my, why are you wasting money like this? It’s at least eight yuan a bucket! Isn’t tap water good enough?”
Su City had abundant water resources, with many water treatment plants, and the water quality was quite good.
She had been drinking tap water her whole life.
Chu Tianshu knew that elderly people often saved money in the strangest ways.
He smiled and said, “No, it’s fine. A friend of mine just opened a new business and is running a promotion—it’s free.”
Xu Xiuxia grumbled, “Some purified water isn’t even as good as tap water.”
“This has passed national quality inspection, so you can drink it without worry! Just try it and you’ll see.”
Chu Tianshu set up the water dispenser, drew some water, and offered his mother a taste.
Xu Xiuxia took a sip.
Her face immediately showed surprise: “Huh? This water… why is it so sweet?”
Chu Tianshu said, “All purified water tastes this sweet.”
Xu Xiuxia replied, “The ones I’ve had before weren’t like this. Your friend’s water must be quite expensive at the regular price.”
This kid was quite the social butterfly—he had friends everywhere.
Who knew if it was true or not.
Chu Tianshu: “Oh, come on, we’re friends—no need to talk about money. Just drink it, that’s all.”
After a pause, he asked, “By the way, Mom, do you know what the two kids like? What foods do they enjoy, what do they like to play with?”
Xu Xiuxia shot Chu Tianshu a sidelong glance.
Her face clearly said: You don’t even know that!
Although she didn’t get to see the two children often, she had them all figured out.
“Both of them love sweets and enjoy eating meat, but they don’t like vegetables.
The older one is very smart—he likes playing chess, dinosaurs, airplanes, and what’s that… Ultraman! Oh well, little boys are all pretty much the same when they’re young.
The younger one loves pretty things and loves to be told she’s beautiful. She adores flowery dresses and dolls, you know the kind?”
Chu Tianshu nodded repeatedly: “I understand!”
Thankfully, they were both fairly normal children.
He asked again, “Do they have any favorite fruits or vegetables?”
Xu Xiuxia: “Sweet ones! Especially grapes and lychees. They’ll eat kiwis too, but not mangoes… As for vegetables, I’m not sure—they’re so picky, those two little ancestors.”
Chu Tianshu couldn’t help but marvel—experience really did count for something.
Even with limited contact, she had managed to figure out so much.
In this regard, he really was too slow on the uptake.
Chu Tianshu hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t ask his mother what Jiang Furong liked.
Better not to stir up trouble.
He only knew that she seemed to really like tomatoes!
For now, that would have to do.
As long as it was something that could be grown in the ground, it wouldn’t be a problem.
“Mom, I’ve got things to do. Enjoy your tea slowly!”
Chu Tianshu drove off again.
This time, he went to a seed store several miles away.
He wore sunglasses.
His family didn’t own any farmland, let alone farm it.
Buying seeds was a first for him—in both lifetimes.
After asking the shop owner,
Chu Tianshu bought some common vegetable seeds.
Especially tomato seeds.
He also bought flower seeds like cosmos and sunflowers.
And fruit seeds like watermelon and strawberry.
After that, he headed to the flower market.
I bought various potted flowers such as Chinese roses, roses, camellias, and gardenias.
And that wasn’t all.
