"It’s out!"
"Brother Yang, amazing!"
"Did the Farmer really harvest a pink one?"
Three employees immediately gathered around, blinking and looking on with faces full of curiosity.
The pink Gem Corn was truly beautiful, exhibiting a light pink hue throughout, shining with a crystal-like glow, just like a real gem.
It was hard to imagine corn could look like this.
You could only say that genetic expression was indeed incredible!
Xu Yang was holding the light pink Gem Corn in his hand and examining it closely.
He was still a bit afraid.
Afraid that the corn kernels might be uneven or that there might be gaps.
If that were the case, even if the corn was entirely light pink, its price would be greatly reduced.
But fortunately, there were none; each kernel was tightly packed and perfectly aligned.
The whole corn looked beautiful.
"I told you, it took half a day to harvest a good-looking Gem Corn, but this one is a real treasure."
"All the luck was accumulating here!"
Xu Yang felt happy inside.
This guy was valuable.
Netizens were tightly fixated on their screens, all eyes on the Gem Corn in Xu Yang’s hand.
[OMG! He really did it! So beautiful!]
[I don’t recommend watching Old Xu’s livestream if you’re easily jealous. This guy’s luck is off the charts, everything he does makes money, and it’s all real, isn’t it infuriating?]
[How much is this corn? I want to buy it, seriously!]
[Good grief, he really hit the jackpot!]
[This one ear of corn is worth more than an acre of regular corn!]
People exclaimed in astonishment.
Xu Yang looked at the pink corn in his hand and had to admit, this one ear of pink corn was extraordinarily good.
Generally speaking, harvested pink corn is actually multicolored, varying shades of light pink, with some being very light and others slightly darker.
Xu Yang’s ear of corn was pink to just the right degree.
All light pink, with little variation in color.
The more Xu Yang looked at it, the more beautiful he found it, and the more he realized this ear of corn was no ordinary one.
"I see a lot of people asking how much this corn costs."
"To be honest, I’m not quite sure myself."
"Generally, Gem Corn of particularly good appearance can sell for seven to eight hundred yuan."
"The more expensive ones are the finer items that go for over a thousand yuan, which are fairly rare."
"This ear of Gem Corn has already stepped into the category of premium products; I don’t even know how to price it."
"I’ll hold onto it for now, get informed about the situation, then sell it."
Xu Yang told his viewers.
At this moment, the livestream room burst into a frenzy.
[There are many rich bosses, the price of such premium items will definitely be high!]
[But ornamental corn is kinda niche, niche meaning it might not fetch too high a price, afraid it will get stuck!]
[To be honest, bosses don’t care about the price, they just care if they like it!]
Some even started bidding in the livestream room, not the kind of bidding that says "ignore my bid if you’re selling," but rather bidding while saying to check their profile, they’re serious.
Several viewers clicked into one bidder’s profile, discovering he was indeed a rich guy who owned an antique shop in Capital City, judging by the decor, he seemed well-to-do.
The bids were generally around ten to twenty thousand yuan.
Of course, some viewers jokingly bid up to a billion yuan; those were just for fun.
Xu Yang was very pleased.
He first returned to his own room and set down the pink corn.
As he passed through the yard, he hugged Leopard’s head and planted a kiss, "mua".
Even little Leopard seemed a bit shy.
"You stay in the yard, I’ll let you out in a while."
"I’m still livestreaming, it’s not too convenient right now."
Xu Yang patted its head and then closed the yard gate.
The employees, meanwhile, continued to peel corn.
With Xu Yang’s example, everyone was even more enthusiastic, all trying to peel a light pink ear of corn.
Xu Yang also got back to business.
Next came the blind box segment, and Xu Yang occasionally picked up his smartphone to glance at the comments.
Some were bidding, and many were sending private messages.
Some even directly offered a price in private messages, and said to check their profile to see their credibility.
After all, these people were passionate.
Actually, there are quite a few people into ornamental collectibles, not lacking wealthy individuals.
Some were born in Rome, with all sorts of fine items at home; for them, spending tens of thousands on such things was nothing.
Xu Yang indeed had the intention to sell.
Keeping the pink Gem Corn was of no use to him.
And he didn’t have a particular preference for light pink.
"Selling one ear of corn for tens of thousands is quite outrageous."
"Probably those antique shops or those specializing in ornamental corn might not offer a higher price than this."
"Dealing with netizens is also not bad, but since it’s a big deal, it’s best to transact face-to-face, in case the other party isn’t satisfied, issues can be discussed outright."
Xu Yang thought to himself.
He was just too honest.
Assuming he really traded with netizens, he always thought about confirming offline, after all, it’s a matter of tens of thousands of yuan.
Actually, those who could spend tens of thousands on corn didn’t really care about the money.
Even if they bought it, they might play with it for a couple of days and then casually discard it.
At this moment, a viewer asked:
[I searched online and found that thirty yuan can buy thirty unopened ears of Gem Corn, the price isn’t expensive, is it? Why isn’t anyone buying?]
Seeing his question, many responded:
[Those who have bought those corns, they’re all malnourished, the kernels aren’t connected, all twisted and uneven.]
[That’s right, there really aren’t good goods for cheap!]
[You should look for those fine Gem Corn sellers, slightly more expensive but the harvested corn is better!]
[Don’t skimp on the cheap, these days online sellers aren’t fools, each sharper than the last, how could they lose out!]
People became even more curious about Gem Corn.
Xu Yang peeled for a while, but seeing that there weren’t any good finds,
But the employees would occasionally peel off a couple of premium ones that could sell for a hundred dollars or more.
Even some could fetch seven or eight hundred dollars.
Xu Yang looked somewhat helpless again.
Why aren’t there any sales again!
It seemed like bad luck, but actually, it was incredibly good luck.
Today, his luck was unexpectedly good.
He peeled another corn, and it was again a solid color, and it was a light blue, second only to light pink!
"Damn!"
"Again!"
"Another ’Gold Legend’ has appeared!"
Xu Yang was stunned himself.
He peeled off the corn husk, displaying the corn in his hand.
It was a light blue, semi-transparent corn with very full kernels and a beautiful color.
And because the color was consistent throughout, just with slight variations, it looked a bit more luxurious.
[What the heck?]
Not just Xu Yang, the online viewers were stunned too.
Some people grow dozens of acres of Gem Corn without finding a single solid color one.
Some don’t even have uniform, full kernels.
The randomness was too great.
Xu Yang, however, managed to grow not only a light pink one but also a light blue one!
Right within his half-acre of corn greenhouse.
His luck was unbelievably good.
"No way, could it be the extra attribute of the Treasure Compass?"
Xu Yang was shocked to his core.
But regardless, the result was good.
He had peeled another perfect corn.
"Could even make a pair now,"
Xu Yang, looking at the few remaining unopened corns, said with a smile.
[Old Xu, tell me this isn’t real! It must be fake!]
[Are you kidding me, streamer!?]
[I sell ornamental corn, came to watch his stream on a friend’s recommendation, now my hands are trembling with envy!]
[This guy definitely has a cheat!]
[Damn, this luck is too outrageous!]
The chat exploded in an instant!
Xu Yang smiled slightly and said,
"My luck today is indeed a bit too good, I didn’t expect it."
"Pretty absurd!"
The employees all came over to look, and everyone praised it again.
After that, they peeled all the remaining corns, and this time, no particularly good ones appeared.
Overall it was still not bad, with about twenty especially good-looking corns, especially the two that Xu Yang peeled, which were outrageously good.
The investment in the corn field had completely paid off!
And it was a huge profit!
Originally thought to be a losing deal, but he had turned it around with luck!
"Next, we’ll think about how to sell. Just these dozen or so corns, it’s not worth seeking out ornamental traders."
"I’ll go contact a craft shop first, get these corns crafted into designs."
"Of course, except for these two I found, Little Pink and Little Blue."
Xu Yang was planning.
As soon as he said this, the viewers immediately showed interest.
[Old Xu, just put up the link!]
[My suggestion is why not do a lottery!]
[Lottery! Lottery! Lottery!]
[Old Xu still hasn’t forgotten his roots, when he was a small streamer with few viewers, he didn’t do lotteries, and now that he’s a big streamer watched by tens of thousands, he still doesn’t do lotteries.]
Xu Yang happened to see these comments. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He responded with a smile:
"Honestly, besides regular farming, I turn off the gift channel when I go into the mountains, so the income from gifts is relatively low,"
"But since everyone is suggesting it..."
"I’ll pick ten corns, each worth about one or two hundred dollars, and hold a lottery to give them away to the viewers."
"I’ll hold it once the craft shop finishes them."
"Plus a bunch of smaller corns worth about fifty bucks each, also looking nice, will be crafted too."
"We’ll hold a lottery for all of them and give them away for free."
As soon as he said this, the audience was slightly stunned.
What? Old Xu is doing a lottery?
You know, other big streamers can have lotteries worth tens or hundreds of thousands in one night.
Of course, they earn more from streaming.
Xu Yang had never done these before.
[Did I hear that right, Old Xu said he’s doing a lottery!]
[Iron tree blooming?]
[Hahaha, it’s not easy to make him sell some stock!]
Everyone joked.
Actually, Xu Yang is not a stingy person, but he’s not so concerned with the benefits from the internet, so he didn’t operate much.
On the contrary, he’s quite generous and decent, something the farm employees know best.
Even if it’s just ten corns each priced at two hundred, plus the craft fees, it definitely won’t exceed two thousand and five hundred, it’s not a lot of money.
Then let there be a lottery.
And Little Pink and Little Blue, these two corns, are his real money-makers.
"Clean this up; what can be burned, burn it tonight."
"Wait a couple of days, clear all the straw from the greenhouse, and prepare to plant something else."
Xu Yang then arranged some tasks for the employees.
The ground was somewhat messy.
The three of them split the tasks, one sweeping, one pushing the cart, and another tidying up.
Soon, the ground was cleared spotlessly.
