In the shop, Song Tian has been tracking his stock and incomes on his phone, "Outside of Su Wen and Sister Mia, there are four new customers. The first two of them got to know my shop from Tang"s family while the last two only know when they saw my sign," he thought in his mind.Su Wen who"s playing with the cats, glanced at Song Tian behind the cashier, "What are you doing?" she asked.
Song Tian answered, "I"m tracking my stock and incomes. I can"t wait for the greenhouse to be built, so I can plant any crops I want," he said.
Su Wen nodded as Song Tian told her that today, w.a.n.g Hai workers are going to work on his greenhouse, "What are you planning to plants?" she asked.
Song Tian shook his head, "I don"t know, I"m still trying to plant anything I can think of and see where the people lean more into," he said.
Su Wen pondered for a while, "A while ago, you"re planting garlic, right? Why you"re not planting it anymore? You already increases the quality of strawberry, why don"t you do the same with garlic too?" she asked.
Song Tian surprised, "Ah, how come I didn"t think any of that? I almost forgot about that!" he said as he forgot that he"s subscribed to Annual Combo Plan.
Su Wen laughed, "How come you forget something important? By making the garlic powder alone, you can already make a profit out of it," she said.
Su Wen continued, "I remember you told me you sold garlic for $3/kg and one kilogram contains 20 garlic, right? Two or three garlic is enough for a small bottle of it. In grocery stores, that small bottle usually costs $5. Sometimes, I"m making the garlic powder by myself for some ingredient," she said.
Song Tian eyes lit up, "Wow, what a great idea! Thank you, I"ll have to think over this stuff," he said as he takes note on what Su Wen suggested.
Song Tian could hear a car and glanced at the window, "My parents are here," he said as he locked the door and went to greet them with Su Wen and the cats.
Song Chen and his wife stepped out of the car which parked in front of his son"s cabin, "Oh, the greenhouse already started?" he thought as w.a.n.g Zheng already told him that his son is starting another project.
Song Chen looked at his son and Su Wen behind him, both of them greeted them and went to inside the cabin.
Song Chen said, "Xiao Tian, how is a farm? I heard you"re using your own material to for the greenhouse, since when did you start to make material?"
Song Tian laughed, "The farm is doing well right now. Dad, how come you didn"t even know that your son is talented, I"ll show you guys later on how I craft the materials," he said
Song Chen eyes twitched, he looked at his wife, "Look at how c.o.c.ky he is, I wonder where Xiao Tian got it from," he said.
Zhu Mei laughed, "You talks as if you"re not c.o.c.ky to back then," she said.
Zhu Mei looked at the new cat on Su Wen"s lap, "Oh, another spiritual beast? But it"s not formed any bound with a human yet," she said.
Xiao Yu which was sleeping in Su Wen"s lap suddenly awake and she saw the woman she didn"t know looked at her which makes her shivered, "h.e.l.lo," she said as she felt something odd from the woman.
Zhu Mei took the cat from Su Wen, "Another Immortal Cat, huh?" she said as she rubs Xiao Yu head.
Song Tian surprised, "Mom, how did you know her kind?" he couldn"t help but ask.
Zhu Mei smiled, "Who knows? It"s called magic for some reason," she said.
Song Tian smiled bitterly, "It"s probably inheritance thing from grandma," he said.
Zhu Mei laughed, "Close, but it"s not from your grandma," she said.
Song Tian pondering for a while, startled, "Fated ones? Impossible," he said.
Zhu Mei laughed, "Everything is possible," she said.
Song Chen shook his head, "It is, why are you playing your oh-so-vague card again," he said.
Zhu Mei laughed, "It"s fun to tease him like that," she said.
Song Tian shocked to hear that, "Inheritance and fated ones? What kind of logic is that? Mom, how did you get this thick plot armor already? Did dad also have one?" he asked.
Zhu Mei grinned, "You read too many novels. No, your grandpa just let him inherit ones recently. I"ll tell you later," she said.
Song Chen smiled bitterly, "You can"t compare your mom"s luck with me," he said.
Su Wen and Xiao Yu who heard their conversation are puzzled, Song Tian looked at them, but he didn"t know whether it was a good idea or not to tell them.
Zhu Mei notices her son, she smiled, "It"s fine, her mom is inherited ones. Sooner or later, she will have to know about this," she said.
Song Tian surprised to hear that. He started to explain all of them about the inheritance stuff which makes Su Wen and the cats shocked.
Su Wen really shocked this time as she didn"t expect such revelation and didn"t know what to say.
Song Li sighed, "Although I heard about the fated and inherited ones, I thought it"s only Song Tian who has it. It turns out his family is also full of them, what a family full of freak," he said.
Xiao Yu also didn"t expect this, "No wonder," she muttered as she saws a lot of odds thing around Song Tian.
Song Tian looked at his dad, "Where"s Xiao Xia and Sister Xue?" he asked.
Song Chen answered, "They"ll come later, Xiao Xia still had her sparring match this afternoon, so Xiao Xue will pick her up later. How is your shop? Let"s go there, you can"t just sit idly here, you must keep an eye for the potential customer," he said.
Zhu Mei looked at her husband and then Su Wen, "You guys can go, I"ll prepare lunch," she said.
Su Wen shook her head, "I"ll help you, aunty," she said.
Arrived at the shop, Song Chen looked around and nodded, "Good, you just need to put more variety product," he said. He looked at the Strawberry Jam section, "Oh, you also make a jam?"
Song Tian nodded, "I"ll put more product once the greenhouse is built. Yes, I only make 40 jars, and 12 of it already sold," he said.
Song Chen surprised, "Oh, it seems you got a great ingredient to makes it, huh?" he said.
Song Tian laughed, "No, the only ingredient for it is my strawberry. Dad, you haven"t tried my new high-quality strawberry, right? This big boy right here got me an annual contract with the cake shop in Milverion City," he said as he handed the strawberry to his father.
Song Chen took a bite of it, "Oh, it"s different," he said as he finishes the fruits in less than seconds. He looked there"s a man came, "Xiao Tian, you got a customer," he said to his son.
Song Tian greeted them, and the man was surprised to look at the price on the sign. In the end, he ended up buying 1kg of strawberries, 3 jars of strawberry jam, 1 pack of eggs and 2kg of potatoes for $32.
Song Chen laughed, "No wonder you put that extra notes on the sign," he said as he saw the customer thought the price is too high. He looked at Song Tian who takes a note on his phone, "You need to buy a cash register, it"ll be easier and more convenient," he said.
Song Tian shook his head, "Nah, I already have a software on my phone to track the incomes and my stock in the warehouse," he shows his phone to his dad.
Song Chen looked through the phone, surprised, "That"s the seventh customer already?" he asked.
Song Tian answered, "No, that"s the fifth customer outside of peoples I know. The two of them are people I know, including Su Wen," he said.
Song Chen nodded, "It"s already good, you even earned $220 with that last customer," he said, and he could hear a car is coming.
"Master, another powerful ent.i.ty is coming," Song Yi suddenly said which makes Song Tian puzzled. But he could hear an old man voice in his mind, "Don"t fret, young man. I came here to see you."
After Song Tian heard the old man voice, he looked at the man he recognizes with an old man beside him. The man he knows is the one who buys the cabbages and introduces him to Archaine Farming a.s.sociation.
Song Chen went outside and surprised, "Uncle Daichi? Greet him. He"s a close friend with your grandpa," he said to his son as he didn"t expect he saw his dad"s friend is here.
The old man laughed, "Xiao Chen, look at you, already this big and had a fine son," he said as he watches Song Chen since he was a little.
Song Tian surprised to see the old man turns out to be friend with his grandpa, he greeted the old man, "h.e.l.lo, Grandpa Daichi," he said. He looked at the man beside him, "h.e.l.lo, uncle?" he said as he didn"t know the name of the man.
The man laughed, "I"m Andre Montero, just call me Andre. If you call me uncle, it"ll make me like an old man. This old man beside me is Tanaka Daichi, he"s the president of Archaine Farming a.s.sociation," he said.
Andre Montero continued, "Let me buy all of your cabbages, my wife needs them for her restaurant," he said.
Song Tian smiled, "Are you sure? The price is different because it"s a different kind of cabbage," he said.
Andre Montero was puzzled, but he"s surprised to look at the sign. Tanaka Daichi laughed, he glanced at the cabbage and nodded, "It is indeed different, it"s high-quality, and it had a 1kg weight of it," he said.
Andre Montero nodded as he trusts the judgment of the old man, "Alright, I"ll pay all of them first. I"ll come this evening to get them. I need to go to my office, this old man leaves his meeting unattended," he said.
Song Tian surprised to see Andre Montero just agree like that, "No need, I can deliver it to you. I had a friend in delivery service, and it"s fast. Just send me the location of your wife"s restaurant, and I"ll tell my friend to deliver it," he said.
Andre Montero nodded, "Alright, I"ll send the location to your phone," he said as he transfers $1576 to Song Tian for 197 cabbages and bids farewell.
Looking at Andre Montero left, Song Tian was speechless as he left Tanaka Daichi alone.
Tanaka Daichi laughed, "Xiao Tian, don"t mind him. I can just teleport to my office later," he said.
Song Chen nodded as he already knows Tanaka Daichi is also on the peak of the cultivation.
Song Tian looked at the Tanaka Daichi who"s looked about the same age as his dad, "So this is the benefit of cultivation, huh? Retaining youth and stuff. Oh, Grandpa Daichi, your surname is Tanaka. Does that mean Tanaka Miyu is your granddaughter?" he asked.
Tanaka Daichi smiled, "No, she"s my youngest daughter. My Wife and I had her when we"re about 180 years old. When you"re on the peak of cultivation age, the age limit of having a child doesn"t apply to us anymore," he said.
Song Tian shocked, "What? Does that mean I have the possibility to have a young uncle and young aunty too?" he said as he couldn"t help but shivered to imagine his young uncle or young aunty bossing around him.
Tanaka Daichi laughed, "Of course," he said. He looked at Song Chen, "When are you going to the cultivation world? You already stepped into the cultivation stage a long time ago. It"s time to polish it," he said.
Song Tian startled, "My dad is on cultivation stage? Didn"t he said that he"s still on the peak of martial art stage?" he said.
Song Chen smiled embarra.s.singly, "Haha, it"s only at the beginning of cultivation age. At first, I want Xiao Tian to inherit the Martial Hall, so I can go to the cultivation world with my wife and have him manages all my work there while taking care of my youngest daughter," he said.
Song Chen continued, "Now he"s taking this path and far away from home, we"ll have to wait until my youngest daughter to graduate from her high school," he said.
Song Tian is speechless to hear the first part. That means his mom is also on the cultivation stage. all of them went to the cabin to have lunch and talking for a while.
After the lunch, Song Tian went outside with Tanaka Daichi to show his farm. Tanaka taught him about the breed of chicken, transplant, crossbreeding and other farm-related stuff.
Tanaka Daichi also suggests him to get a health certificate for his farm through his paternal grandpa, as it"ll be useful, "Alright, I need to leave now. Just don"t give up and never trust any word from Whirlpool Farming Society," he said as he slowly disappeared.
Song Tian bowed, "Thank you, Grandpa Daichi," he said as he saw Tanaka Daichi disappeared. He sighed, "Didn"t my grandpa said there are only five fated ones?" he thought.
Song Yi giggled, "Who knows," she said.
Song Tian smiled bitterly and went to his cabin. On his way, he saw Song Xue"s car just arrived with Song Xia on the pa.s.senger seat and went to greet them.
Song Xia immediately went to take Su Wen, and the cats to the gazebo and Song Tian closed his shop.
In the living room, Song Tian, his parents, and his eldest sister sat on the couch. Song Xue didn"t get surprised as she already knows about the fated ones and inherited ones as her parents already told them when she"s younger.
Song Tian looked at his mom, "Mom, can you tell me now?" he said.
Zhu Mei laughed as she looks at her curious son, "As you know, your grandpa must"ve already told you about there are only around five fated ones in this world, right? It"s not. Although only a few numbers of peoples are indeed the fated ones, it doesn"t cut the possibility of the new fated ones to appear," she said.
Zhu Mei continued, "Both of them only reveals five fated ones to not make you think too much about it. If both of them were to reveal all of them, where"s the fun in that? We, human, need an element of surprise to makes our life not too boring," she said.
Song Tian smiled bitterly as he wants to know them all at once, but his mom is also right, there"s no fun in finding out all of them at once, "Then, what is your system? Can it already transform?" he asked.
Zhu Mei shook her head, "Not yet, that"s why your dad and I needs to go to the cultivation world to increase our strength as my system"s quest is really abundant in the cultivation world," she said.
Zhu Mei continued, "I had beast tamer system, but it"s pet trainer on this world. Yet, all the quest available is to tame the spiritual beast on the cultivation world, there are only few pet trainer"s quests on this world," she said as she smiled bitterly, griefing at her system"s quest.
Song Tian shocked, "Beast tamer? Mom, how did you know your system is beast tamer originally?" he asked as he didn"t know what Song Yi is before coming to the mortal world.
Zhu Mei smiled, "Once you reached a certain level, your system will unlock additional stats on your character stats. That"s when you can see your system"s previous ident.i.ty as one of the additional stats," she said.
Song Tian pondered for a moment, "Oh, level five? I had locked stats, and it said that I must reach level 5 to unlock it," he said.
Zhu Mei startled, "Level five? Are you sure it"s only level five?" she said.
Song Tian nodded, "I"m sure of it, it is written in my stats. What"s wrong, mom?" he asked as he notices his mom"s face changed.
Zhu Mei answered, "You know what level I had to reach to unlock the additional stats? I have to reach level 15 to reach it," she said.
Song Tian gulped, "Level 15?" he said as he feels his EXP progress already steep, he can"t imagine what EXP required to reach that level.
Song Xue interjected, "See how much you guys are making such a big deal of it, look at me, happy and carefree without any quest at all," she said.
Song Tian snorted, "Carefree your a.r.s.e, tell me that once you can work at home 100%," he said.
Song Xue laughed, "Oh, I already received that percentage. That"s why I took a long vacation. Now all I do is sign this and sign there, and let my a.s.sistant and workers do my work," she said smugly.
Song Tian pondered for a moment, "Really? Are you sure you can work at home from now on?" He asked.
Song Xue laughed, "Of course, at most I"ll have to attend the monthly meeting from now on," she said.
Song Tian nodded, "Then, that means mom and dad can go to the cultivation world," he said.
Song Xue said, "Of course they can, I"ll take care of Xiao Xia at home."
Zhu Mei shook her head, "Nah, you can"t even make a meal properly. How do you expect to take care of your younger sister?" she said.
Song Xue giggled, "We can order fast-food everyday, hehe," she said.
Song Chen nodded, "That"s a viable option," he said.
Zhu Mei glared at her husband and eldest daughter, "It"s unhealthy," she said, and she"s starting to scold both of them.
Song Tian laughed looking at his sister and father getting scolded, "Now now, calm down, mom," he said.
Song Tian continued, "How about you build a home nearby? Or expand your and dad"s secret small apartment for Sister Xue and Xiao Xia to live there? So you don"t have to worry about unhealthy food and stuff like that. I can take a turn with Sister Xue to drives Xiao Xia to school," he said.
Song Xue eyes lit up, "Great idea, this place is nice to live in and sleep all days," she said.
Zhu Mei laughed as she already expects that her son knows about the small apartment, "Nice idea, I will build it beside the small apartment," she said.
Song Chen nodded, "Good, I"ll call Old w.a.n.g," he said as he took his phone out and call w.a.n.g Zheng to let him know about the project.
Song Tian suddenly remembers something, "What about Martial Hall?" he asked.
Zhu Mei smiled, "It"s fine, Xiao Fen and your dad"s disciple can take care of it," she said as Song Fen and her husband"s disciple can take care of that.
Song Tian relieved to hear that. No matter how stubborn he is about refusing to be the successor of it, the Martial Hall still the unreplaceable place for him.
