Chapter 24: These Bougainvilleas Must Be Valuable, Right? Time to Pay Off Debts!

The next day.

When Qin Lin got up, Wangcai was squatting outside his bedroom door as usual, stretching out its head in anticipation of a pat.

Lin Fen had already prepared breakfast for him. "Xiaolin, why have you been acting so mysterious lately? I went to the shop yesterday, but it was closed."

"Mom, I made some money from wholesale a while ago, and recently I've been setting up a mountain villa. I'm busy with the paperwork now, and I'll be even busier starting tomorrow." Qin Lin didn't hide it; his mother would find out sooner or later.

"Xiaolin, Mom supports whatever you want to do. If the villa doesn't work out, the shop can always reopen. If worst comes to worst, I can still manage the shop." Lin Fen knew her son was ambitious. The family had already been a burden to him, so she could only support his endeavors.

She figured the "mountain villa" her son mentioned was probably just a small agritourism spot he had rented for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan and decorated a bit. After all, her son didn't have much capital. This was also what worried her, as many people in Yucheng were running these kinds of agritourism spots, and none of them lasted long.

"Mom, just rest easy and don't worry about me." Qin Lin felt very confident now; he believed he would make the mountain villa a roaring success.

After breakfast, he headed out, and Wangcai, the dog, seized the moment to tag along.

Qin Lin harvested the okra that had matured in the morning and sent it to Dashu Run. He waited until the afternoon when the game interface in his mind finally notified him that the bougainvillea in the six plots of Level 2 land had matured.

Qin Lin immediately controlled his game character to stand before the six plots, and sure enough, the harvest prompt appeared. He had chosen a different color for each plot, so the bougainvillea in each was different, with about 25 plants per plot.

He controlled his character to harvest them, eventually obtaining a total of 153 standard ornamental bougainvillea plants. Afterward, he controlled the character to go to the Mineral Town seed shop to purchase new seedlings, replanted them, and then headed to the warehouse.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Qin Lin told Wangcai, who had jumped out of the car, "Wangcai, keep watch outside."

"Woof!" Wangcai acknowledged the order with two barks and began pacing back and forth at the entrance as if on patrol.

Qin Lin then locked the warehouse door and, with a thought, entered the game. In the courtyard where the bougainvillea was stored, in addition to the 25 seven-color symbiotic ornamental plants, there were now 153 standard ornamental bougainvillea plants. Placed together, they looked like a sea of flowers—vibrant, fragrant, and exceptionally striking.

Qin Lin reached out and touched one of the standard ornamental bougainvillea plants. He saw the note:

【Yellow Ever-blooming Ornamental Bougainvillea: Quality 1】
【This is a special variety of ornamental bougainvillea, 60 cm tall with a 70 cm canopy and a 4 cm trunk. Produced by the game, it is very vibrant and possesses higher ornamental value than ordinary plants of the same type. It is easy to transplant and blooms all year round!】
【Game Product: Vibrancy +1, Ornamental Value +1, Attractiveness +1, Mood Enhancement +1, Photogenic +1, Transplant Survival Rate +1!】

He checked the others; except for the color, the notes were identical.

These standard ornamental bougainvillea were clearly inferior to the seven-color symbiotic ones, not just in appearance but also in being only Quality 1. However, since they were game products, they still held higher ornamental value than similar plants, and those "+1" bonuses were no joke. Furthermore, their ease of transplanting and year-round blooming matched the seven-color variety.

Qin Lin then began touching the plants, using his thoughts to move them into the real world one by one. It took some time to finish moving them all.

However, transporting them to the mountain villa was another matter. His beat-up car couldn't handle them, and he couldn't even lift the Quality 2 seven-color symbiotic plants by himself. Qin Lin had to use his phone to contact a professional transport team. There was a logistics park nearby with specialized companies, and he had saved their number before.

Since it was a short-distance trip, he needed a dedicated transport fleet for the 178 plants. The starting price was 85 yuan per vehicle, plus 5 yuan per kilometer. After contacting them, he added the supervisor on WeChat, sent the deposit and the location, and soon a fleet arrived.

The space in front of the warehouse was small, and with the handling equipment, the trucks could only be loaded one by one.

"Is this what you wanted to transport, Mr. Qin?" the team leader, Zhao Liyuan, asked. As he looked at the bougainvillea in the warehouse, he was struck with astonishment.

These bougainvillea were stunningly beautiful. He had seen bougainvillea before and had even been to the "Sea of Bougainvillea" in Xiamen, but compared to the ones before him, the Xiamen ones seemed far inferior. He was captivated the moment he walked in, and the flowers gave off a strangely comforting feeling.

This was naturally the effect of the game attributes.

"Mr. Qin, are you building a sea of bougainvillea at your villa?" Zhao Liyuan asked, subconsciously taking out his phone to take a picture. He discovered that the bougainvillea looked incredibly beautiful through the lens—the effect was completely different. This was the result of the "photogenic" attribute!

"That's right, a sea of bougainvillea!" Qin Lin nodded.

"Then I'll definitely take my wife to see it when it's done!" Zhao Liyuan decided on the spot. If they looked this good now, how beautiful would they be in a full sea? It was sure to be a breathtaking sight that his wife would love.

The transport team began their work, using specialized tools to move the plants onto the trucks. Zhao Liyuan put away his phone, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Mr. Qin, these bougainvillea are all very beautiful, especially the large multi-colored ones. They shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Qin Lin nodded. "Well, it depends on the color. A three-color symbiotic one costs over 3,000 yuan, and the five-color ones are over 5,000 yuan. These seven-color ones are very rare, so it's hard to set a price!"

"Cough... cough!" Zhao Liyuan choked on his cigarette. He hurriedly shouted to his workers, "Be careful! Handle them gently, don't bump into them!"

Are you kidding me? A five-color one is over 5,000? How expensive must the seven-color ones be? Those 25 alone were worth a fortune, and even the smaller ones probably weren't cheap. How much was their transport fee? If anyone was careless and damaged even one, their entire fee wouldn't be enough to cover the damages.

After some time, all the bougainvillea were loaded, and the fleet set off for the mountain villa. Qin Lin followed along, feeling quite happy and looking forward to the sea of bougainvillea he was about to create.

However, there was one thing left to deal with. The family still owed quite a bit in external debts. The online contract for the 10,000 standard bougainvillea seedlings had only been paid with a deposit, and the money left in his account was finally enough to pay off the debts!
