I am farming in the real world

Chapter 23: Li Kui Meets Li Gui

“I remember in the MC game, [Pumpkin] can be used to synthesize a lot of good things.”

“Pumpkin lanterns, pumpkin pie, synthesizing golems, and transforming it into a [Carved Pumpkin] with scissors can also avoid the Little Black.” Chen Jue looked at the Baby Pumpkin in his hand, his mind racing.

Dragging it into the four-grid synthesis column that came with the backpack, a conversion formula popped up: [Baby Pumpkin] → [Pumpkin Seeds] × 4.

“It’s the same as the synthesis in the game.”

“It seems that different varieties of pumpkins in the real world can also replace the pumpkins in the game. This is similar to the previous [Bone Meal] conversion.” Chen Jue noted this new discovery.

The reason why he asked Luo Xian for this box of pumpkins was also to cultivate pumpkins himself when he went back.

In addition, since he couldn’t find any trace of the game “Minecraft” on the Internet.

The various synthesis formulas and game easter eggs in the MC system also needed Chen Jue to explore step by step.

Because it had been almost 8 years since Chen Jue last played the MC game.

After graduating from university, Chen Jue occasionally brushed up on some game live videos on Bilibili, knowing that MC had updated many versions in the later period, and many fun and interesting Mods (module plug-ins) had emerged.

However, without actually operating it himself, many details were almost forgotten.

He could only rely on his original vague memory, spend time collecting materials, and deduce these synthesis formulas bit by bit, and then dig out more small tricks and synthesis recipes that could be used to realize cash and improve the material life of reality.

“Take your time, let’s pay off the debt first, and take the time to study it slowly.” Chen Jue muttered in his heart.

…

Putting the Baby Pumpkin into his backpack, he glanced at the crowded stalls and packaging bags in the carriage. Considering that he would go to Zheng Bocheng’s factory to pick up waste later.

Chen Jue waved his hand and temporarily put these sundries into his backpack, emptying the entire carriage.

Starting the truck, he drove all the way east towards the estuary, and it took more than 20 minutes to arrive at the Rui County Intelligent Control Equipment Town Scenic Area in Shangwang Street.

Saying it was a scenic spot, it was actually the county's signature demonstration industrial park, gathering many local tax-paying leading enterprises listed at home and abroad, such as Huafeng and Ruili.

Zheng Bocheng’s Zhongbo Machinery Co., Ltd. is also in this park. Although it only occupies a small part of the corner, its strength is enough to rank in the top 50 in the county.

To put it simply, all those who can set up factories in this park are big figures in Rui County.

Because Chen Jue used to come here often for business, he knew the layout of Zhongbo Machinery very well. After greeting the familiar security guard at the door, he drove the truck into the factory area of more than 50 acres in front of him.

Parking the car, he made a voice call to Zheng Bocheng.

Looking around, there were dormitories, factory buildings, and office buildings. From a distance, he could hear the harsh mechanical processing noises from several workshops in the distance.

“It’s so cool to have your own mechanical processing factory! As long as the production line doesn’t stop, there are profits every day.” Chen Jue was a little emotional and envious.

He felt that if he moved all the underground farming bases to the ground, in terms of area, it should not lose to this Zhongbo Machinery.

As for the level of technology, agricultural technology is also technology, not to mention the super black technology brought by the MC system!

While thinking, a window was pulled open on the sixth floor of the office building next to the parking lot, and a head poked out and shouted: “Chen Jue, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Come up here quickly!”

Hearing Zheng Bocheng calling him to go up, Chen Jue walked into the lobby of the office building briskly, and scanned the gate with his face. Seeing that the previously recorded work station information was still there, he immediately went up to the sixth floor by elevator with a hippie smile on his face.

The air conditioning in the square office was very strong, and several engineers were drawing at the work stations lined up in a row.

Zheng Bocheng was among them, slumped on the work station while clicking on the Huoping Shuangkou of the Game Teahouse on the screen.

For a second-generation factory owner like him, there is no KPI, and no economic pressure. If he wants to go to work, he can just fish and mix with a bunch of working engineers without even pretending.

The most annoying thing is that this guy doesn’t have to clock in on time and can walk around casually, which can make all the workers in the world envious.

“I said, you can come if you want, why are you bringing things again?”

“Brother! Don’t be so distant, okay.”

Zheng Bocheng turned off the computer, reached into the plastic bag Chen Jue was carrying with a humble mouth and a straight body, and took out a large bayberry and stuffed it into his mouth.

He didn’t care whether the game was over or not. Anyway, Chen Jue glanced at his account and saw that the game coins were so many that they were about to overflow the screen. He just pulled the plug and deducted them casually, just for fun.

“This is for your dad!”

“I’m here to get some waste, how can I do it without visiting the real boss?”

Chen Jue joked with him a few times, and then followed Zheng Bocheng to the chairman’s office on the eighth floor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his dad, Zheng Long, chatting with several bank staff in uniform on the sofa.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Bocheng immediately wanted to slip away, because he was most afraid of running into his father talking about serious business with outsiders. It would be embarrassing for a playboy like himself to be present.

“Bocheng, you’re already in, what are you hiding for? Manager Cai and the others from ICBC, don’t you know them?” Zheng Long greeted him with some disappointment.

So Chen Jue followed Zheng Bocheng, who was awkward and scratching all over, pushed the door in, and said “Hello, Uncle Zheng!” while sitting on the sofa generously.

“It’s Xiaojue!”

“I haven’t seen you for a long time. I heard Bocheng said that you have returned to the arena and started running business again? Would you like to come to my uncle’s factory to help.” Zheng Long was dressed in summer casual clothes, with a silver mechanical watch on his left hand, slightly fat, and chatted with Chen Jue with a kind face.

“Uncle Zheng, you know my situation, I’m just making a small fuss to make a living.”

“By the way! These bayberries were sent by a few of my university friends from Xianju. They are delicious, please try them.” Chen Jue put the two bulging plastic bags on the coffee table.

The ICBC account manager who was sitting on the side and came to visit, his face, which was originally full of smiles, couldn’t hold back!

Because the exquisite black gift boxes they had specially prepared contained exactly the same pile of MC bayberries that Chen Jue was carrying in plastic bags!

Isn’t this Li Kui bumping into Li Gui?

“Xianju bayberry?”

“It’s really a coincidence!”

“Just now, Manager Cai also sent a few boxes of 13A Dongkui bayberries, saying that they are the fruit king of Xianju, and there is not much production throughout the year.”

Zheng Long picked up two bayberries with the same appearance and compared them in his hands, and suddenly a playful look appeared on his face.

He glanced at Manager Cai, who was sitting on pins and needles, and started to tease: “Old Cai, we have known each other for so long, don’t beat around the bush. Are you short of performance indicators again? I’ll ask the finance department to transfer some of next month’s repayments to your ICBC account.”

When Manager Cai heard this, his old face immediately turned red: “Then… then thank you, Chairman Zheng!”

Successful entrepreneurs like Zheng Long are big customers that major banks strive to win over every year.

During the New Year and holidays, supermarket shopping cards, Moutai, and cigarettes are sent home in bundles and boxes.

Occasionally, it is normal for a major account manager to bring some fruit to visit.

It’s just that when he was asking for help, he suddenly encountered a troublemaker. Manager Cai and a few young people in ICBC uniforms who came to see the world were so embarrassed that they scratched their feet when they saw the bags of MC bayberries.

Because before Chen Jue came, they had boasted the few boxes of 13A Dongkui bayberries placed on the coffee table to the sky, and Zheng Long had tasted one before and thought it was good.

Seeing that the atmosphere was set in place, and then it was time to talk about business and pull business, they were directly slapped in the face by the two simple plastic bags that fell from the sky, and their faces turned red.

So, after chatting for a few words, after getting Zheng Long’s verbal agreement, the group from ICBC hurriedly slipped out.

After slipping all the way to the parking lot and getting into a Buick GL8 business car, Manager Cai’s face immediately darkened, and he angrily sprayed at the young man next to him: “Xiao Li, is this the damn fruit king you purchased? A box of 248 for reimbursement?”

When the young man named Xiao Li heard this, he immediately shrank his neck and explained hesitantly: “Manager… Manager Cai, I don’t know either! The boss of the boutique fruit shop who came to promote it said that it is indeed the fruit king, and it is very popular on the market, and you can’t even grab it.”

The more Manager Cai thought about it, the more angry he became: “Popular, my ass! People brought two plastic bags, and you tell me it’s popular? Are you an idiot? With a reimbursement form of 248, it’s almost 250!”

“If it weren’t for Chairman Zheng giving me face and agreeing to boost our performance, I would have fired you when I went back!”

After venting, Manager Cai’s red face improved a little, and he instructed the young man in the driver’s seat: “Drive to the next house to continue the visit. Don’t take those bayberries in the trunk out to embarrass yourself, go buy a few better fruit baskets nearby to support yourself.”

At this time, the young man in charge of driving suddenly hesitated, and finally couldn’t help but open his mouth after driving the car out of Zhongbo Machinery: “Manager Cai, I think the kid carrying the bayberries just now looks very familiar, like… like a blacklisted customer we had collected from before.”

When Manager Cai heard this, he immediately became angry and kicked the back of the driver’s seat: “Collection? I’m collecting your ass! People can have such a good relationship with Zheng Dashao, they look like a young master, how can they be a defaulter?”

“I think you guys have been itching for a beating lately. Your business is not good, and even your IQ and EQ have been sucked away by mobile phone short videos. Why don’t you have any eyesight? Hurry up and drive me to find a better cigarette and liquor gift shop!”
