Chapter 583
C583 – The Rockandroll Turtle Is No Longer Rockandroll!
The two elderly gentlemen received what they desired and departed contentedly.
Su Ming and his companions were nearly finished with their meal. With a concert scheduled for the afternoon, they settled the bill and made their exit.
Regarding the item Soong Yunhai had accidentally shattered earlier, the old man Song Jianguo dutifully compensated for the damage.
“I should head back now. I have a few more rehearsals this afternoon, and you definitely must come to my concert tonight,” Ann Chuxia said as she stood at the bottom of the stairs. She had previously called Liu Dashan, who arrived by car to pick her up.
“Alright,” Su Ming agreed with a nod.
He drove the two young ladies back to his villa. Eager to conserve their energy for the evening’s concert, they both retired to sleep.
Meanwhile, Su Ming secured the front door and made his way to the rear of the property, heading directly for the aquatic product area.
The Rock-and-roll Turtles were a sight to behold. It was not a matter of maturity; they were already seasoned performers, hosting concerts night after night. It was simply the right time.
Upon arriving, Su Ming peered down and was taken aback by the lively scene below.
Wow! What a spectacle!
Five turtles were energetically performing songs and dances on the System’s underwater platform, showing no signs of fatigue. An impressive crowd of various aquatic creatures had gathered in front of the stage—a dense assembly of loaches, fish, shrimp, and even a few earthworms.
Earthworms, though, aren’t supposed to breathe underwater, are they? What was this anomaly?
Looking closer, one could see the small fish, shrimp, and loaches gyrating enthusiastically to the rhythm of the music. It was like an animal festival.
Sigh… It was hard to disrupt such joy, but harvest time waits for no one.
Su Ming approached the small wooden cabin adjacent to the aquatic product area. The cabin had grown larger and sturdier following an upgrade, exuding a sense of stability and no longer appearing rickety as before. The central control panel had been replaced with a massive LCD screen, and in the corner lay a supply of universal aquatic feed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Su Ming donned his water gear and, armed with a net bag, plunged into the chilly waters. Despite the insulation of his water clothes and pants, the icy chill of late autumn sent a shiver through him, raising goosebumps on his skin.
“Brr… It’s really a bit chilly today.”
“Maybe I should buy a heater…”
“Nah, let’s not. What if the heater malfunctions? I’d wake up to a pot of fish soup the next day.”
Su Ming shook his head, dismissing the idea from his thoughts.
He edged closer to the turtles that were rocking out.
Feeling Su Ming’s presence, the dancing crowd scattered at lightning speed, vanishing into thin air in no time.
The turtles, too, started packing up.
One placed a guitar into a case, another dismantled the stage, and a third got the microphone ready.
Then, cradling the turtles, they slowly made their way to the edge of the stage, bowed, and just like that, the stage vanished, with the five turtles beginning to float upwards.
As they broke the water’s surface, the turtles transformed dramatically!
A blinding light flashed; Su Ming shielded his eyes. When the light faded and he lowered his hand, he took a closer look.
What’s this…
After seeing the items, Su Ming paused, taken aback. The turtles were gone, and a few objects were floating on the water.
Dragonflies?
I’ve been raising turtles, and now I end up with dragonflies?
What’s going on?
Wait a minute!
These dragonflies seemed different.
Su Ming moved in for a closer inspection.
Wow!
The dragonflies were crafted from bamboo, incredibly lightweight and lifelike.
Plus, they were quite small.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve obtained the ‘Locate-Anything Dragonfly.’ No matter where they hide, you can find anyone by writing their name on a piece of paper and placing it inside the dragonfly. The dragonfly will then locate the person for the Host!”
“Ding! Effective range is 20 kilometers!”
“Ding! This dragonfly is for the Host’s use and visibility only!”
As Su Ming picked up one of them, a notification echoed in his mind.
A locating dragonfly?
This gadget was seriously high-tech.
Impressive, indeed, and certainly useful!
For instance, if someone’s child went missing.
With this dragonfly, they could be found in just minutes.
It might not seem useful right now, but who knows how handy it could be in the future?
Su Ming pondered carefully, stroking his chin in thought.
Let’s keep it!
There’s still quite a distance to go before the next level up.
Even if he cashed in points, he couldn’t upgrade the aquatic product area any further.
This item might just prove to be miraculous at some point.
Without a second thought, Su Ming collected all the dragonflies.
He pocketed them and, after emerging from the water, stripped off his wet clothes.
He took the items straight to the villa’s underground warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, there were two portals that could access everything stored within.
Su Ming resolved to store all the magical items he cultivated or bred here, ready for any future need.
The Rock-and-roll Turtle harvest was complete.
As dusk fell, Su Ming roused the two young girls, switched to a business van, and headed directly to the concert venue.
Even several kilometers away, the roar of the crowd was audible.
Checking the time, Su Ming saw they had an hour before the concert started.
They would arrive with time to spare.
After parking the van, Su Ming and the girls made their way to the entrance.
The crowd was thick, and a lengthy queue had formed.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
Su Ming and the girls continued forward when suddenly a young man called out to them, “What do you think you’re doing? Trying to cut in line? Where’s your civic duty? We’ve all been patiently waiting our turn. Why do you get to skip?”
“Yeah, exactly! You’re young, but that’s no excuse for poor behavior. We’re all in line here. What makes you so special?”
“Get to the back of the line, now!”
The crowd began to echo the young man’s sentiment, mistaking Su Ming for a line-cutter.
“Cutting in line?”
Su Ming paused, blinking in confusion. “Isn’t there an open lane over there with no one in it?”
“Kid, are you out of your mind? Do you even know who’s allowed through that lane? It’s for people with diamond cards only.”
“You think you’re the only clever one here, and the rest of us are fools who don’t know which way to go?”
“Perhaps it’s just some country bumpkin who’s clueless.”
“Better just to queue up and play it safe, rather than risk getting roughed up.”
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, the crowd behind him couldn’t resist sneering and jeering. Su Ming merely smiled in response and said, “Let’s give it a shot. Who knows, I might just get in.”
“Damn! You’re just torturing yourself for the sake of pride. In the short time we’ve been talking, dozens more have joined the line. If you had just queued up a second earlier, you’d be that much closer to getting into the venue.”
“Exactly. Only the real VIPs can take this path. If you manage to get in, I’ll stand on my head and wash my hair!”
“I’ll stand on my head and eat sh*t!”
The people around continued to mock and scoff, completely disbelieving Su Ming’s words.
