After dinner, Liu Ben was in high spirits. He strolled over to the edge of his rented field to check on the seedlings he'd planted. They were growing quite tall, and though they hadn't yet produced ears, they were thriving. He also pulled out some weeds, gathered them up, and later stored them for silage.

After planting the fields outside, Liu Ben was not idle either, and continued to plant in the space.

This time when he entered the space, Liu Ben looked at the endless fields and his heart was extremely excited.

Before he recovered his memory, he didn't know why he was so happy about owning the space field. He thought it was because of the adventure in the system space.

But now Liu Ben knows that it was because of his strong obsession in the past!

The system cat ran over as soon as it saw Liu Ben, and continued to ask, "Host, what on earth happened to you? Tell this system meow!"

"Ahem, system, how much trash-beating value do I have now?" Liu Ben calmed down, turned around and asked only his own question, without answering the system.

[Currently available scumbag value is 632, host, how can you...?]

"Then what can be exchanged?" Liu Ben asked.

[Show the list to the host, meow...]

A list appeared in front of Liu Ben.

"Why didn't you show me the list before?" Liu Ben asked curiously, "When I changed the rice seeds, you were the one who asked me directly if I wanted them."

Can the system say that it was set up too hastily and hasn't been sorted out yet? Of course not.

[At that time, the host only had 100 Trash Points, which was invaluable! That Universe Unparalleled Rice was a newbie discount given to the host by the system!]

"Oh, I reluctantly believe it." Liu Ben scrolled through the list with an expressionless face.

Although it is called a list, there are not many options to choose from.

"These names...why are they all so weird?" Liu Ben was speechless. If it weren't for the pictures, he almost couldn't recognize what was written.

[How weird! These are all perfectly suitable names, okay, meow!] The system cat waved its paw in protest.

"The Supreme White Jade Lotus of the Universe, the Beautiful Horse-hoof Water Shield of the Universe... Aren't these weird? Aren't they just radish and water shield? And the Supreme of the Universe or something like that, how childish!" Liu Ben took a look. The radish costs 400 points of abuse and a simple recipe, while the water shield costs 600 points of abuse. This dish is not common here. In the memory of the previous "Xiao Ben", he only ate it when he traveled abroad. It didn't have much taste, but it had a smooth texture.

"Why are the other varieties behind all gray?" Liu Ben asked.

[The accumulated scum value is insufficient! Unlock the following requirements and get a cumulative scum value of 1000, 1500, 2500...]

Liu Ben noticed the note under the water shield again: "What is this 'Purchase seeds to automatically form special terrain'?"

[This is exactly what it says. After purchasing, an environment suitable for growing that seed will appear. Host, you are so stupid!]

Okay, Liu Ben ignored the system's contemptuous look and turned his attention back to the two in front of him, radish and water shield.

The radish only costs 400 points, and a recipe is also given. The suggested retail price is 15 yuan per catty, which seems to be a good deal, but radishes are sold everywhere. Although they are definitely delicious, they are only comparable to those sold outside.

If it is on the list, it can't be compared with the water shield.

After all, water shield is a vegetable that's not available here, and who doesn't like fresh food? And there must be a reason why it's expensive.

Seeing that Liu Ben hadn't made a choice, the system licked its paw and suggested, "I suggest the host choose White Jade Radish. It's easier to grow. Once you buy it, you can get unlimited seeds, and the germination and maturity rate are both 100%. Once they're ripe, they'll wait patiently for the host to pick them! As for Water Shield, you grow them by cuttings, so their leaves will continue to grow. The host should choose the right time to pick them!"

"Is that so..." Liu Ben touched his chin and thought. He currently had little value in bullying the scumbag, so he still had to consider this carefully.

So he did not make a choice at that moment, but continued to plant Wushuang rice for a few days. In the middle, he also took time to take the theoretical examination on agricultural machinery.

The system was speechless. This host was simply too calm. If it were someone else, they would definitely be eager to redeem something and would want to redeem it immediately.

Liu Ben is just a weirdo!

After being urged by the system several times, Liu Ben finally raised his head from his leisurely and happy farming life and looked at the redemption option again.

Although Liu Ben was doing his usual things these days, his mood was completely different. Having just recovered his past memories, Liu Ben now found everything in this world a bit new and strange.

The memories of the former "Xiao Ben" are all there, but people have changed, haven't they?

Of course, Liu Ben did not forget to choose the exchange items. When he had free time these days, he thought about their respective advantages from various aspects and also searched for some information online.

In the end, Liu Ben firmly chose...water shield.

A bag of root-like things appeared in his hand, and Liu Ben looked through it carefully.

[Hmph, if you don't listen to the system, you'll suffer the consequences meow!] The system cat walked away with an elegant pace, its butt facing Liu Ben.

"Boom~~~~~"

As Liu Ben pressed the option, there was a vibration and a piece of ground not far from him suddenly began to collapse. Liu Ben was not afraid and walked over to take a look out of curiosity.

The ground was sinking, and at the same time, clear water was coming out from the ground, gradually filling the entire sunken ground.

Liu Ben watched the whole process unfold, but when the movement stopped he narrowed his eyes.

"System, isn't this pond used for growing water shield a little too deep?"

Although he had never grown water shield, he knew that the depth of the paddy field for growing water lettuce would not exceed one meter. At a glance, the pool in front of him was at least one meter deep, and he was looking from above the pool, so the actual depth might be higher.

[That's right, the stem of the Cosmos Brilliant Water Lily is very long, and the leaves are larger, so the depth required below the water surface is also higher!]

The system cat, which had just left, appeared by the pool again and played with water in its paws.

Liu Ben took off his outer clothes suspiciously, leaving only his boxer briefs, and stepped into the pool...

"Gululu..." Liu Ben's kick was originally a test, but he was still caught off guard and submerged in the deep water.

"Puff!" Liu Ben quickly paddled out his head, spat, and looked at the system cat with resentment through his wet hair.

Luckily, he could swim. This damn pool was two meters deep! If he stepped into the soft mud, even someone over two meters tall wouldn't be able to stand in the pool with their head above water!

The system cat was licking its fur peacefully at this moment, as if none of this was its business.

At this depth, it would be difficult for an ordinary human to plant and harvest, right?

Liu Ben glanced at the system cat next to him who was licking his hind legs with his back turned, and began to try to change his shape.

Although according to common sense in novels (well, novels don't make sense), when a person's soul travels into another body, the previous physical characteristics have nothing to do with him.

But Liu Ben felt that he was different. His body seemed to be Xiao Ben and A Ben. The two seemed to have merged together and could appear interchangeably.

Liu Ben's skin color began to change, and his entire body shape also changed. His muscles bulged, and it seemed that he was about to successfully transform into an orc!

However, at the last critical moment, Liu Ben was stuck and could not continue. After a while, he had to give up and turned back into an ordinary human being.

Liu Ben shook his head. It seemed that his body was not adapting well and he might have to wait for a while.

But Liu Ben was not in a hurry. He intuitively felt that this process would not take too long. It was like a progress bar that had been loaded to 99%. It was just a little bit longer. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he would be able to successfully transform into an orc.

Since I can't turn into an orc yet, I might as well swim to plant it. This is a challenge, but fortunately, Liu Ben is not afraid of challenges.

Liu Ben took the bag of branches, took a deep breath, and quickly dived into the water. He dug holes at intervals of about 50 centimeters on the bottom of the water, then carefully inserted the branches into the holes at an angle and covered them with mud.

The pond was so large that Liu Ben had to change the air several times before he could transplant all the branches. While there was no need to plow the fields or raise seedlings, the process was no easier or faster than farming.

However, this kind of vegetable should not need to be planted repeatedly. In the good environment of the system space, it can be harvested continuously as long as it is planted once. Therefore, Liu Ben planted the cuttings at a wide distance to give the water shield some space to grow.

Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem that difficult.

Liu Ben climbed ashore, shook the water off his head, took a prepared towel to dry his body, and then picked up the clothes on the shore and put them on.

Afterwards, Liu Ben checked the inventory in the warehouse. There was quite a lot of rice and weeds in it. If he could sell some of them, he could get some money for daily use. It was not good to eat and drink for free at home.

In modern society, there are so many things that require money. Farming for your own consumption isn't enough. Even if you could only eat what you grow, wouldn't you need a cell phone, electricity, or internet? Of course not! So, you still need a way to make money.

When my second and third uncles are not farming, they still have to go out to work short-term jobs to earn money. My younger brothers and sisters graduated one or two years later, and after the summer vacation they will also go to college outside.

So should I listen to my grandma and sell the house to open a shop? Liu Ben was a little confused, so he turned around and asked his grandpa.

"You've just planted the rice seedlings, and you're already asking where to buy rice?" Liu Yibiao teased him with a smile as he sat on a bamboo chair.

Before Liu Ben could even open his mouth, Wang Fengjing said cheerfully, "Xiao Ben is quite capable. The seller of the Wushuang rice asked Xiao Ben to be the sole agent, meaning he'd be the only one selling it!"

"Is this true?" Liu Yibiao was also surprised. Is there such a good thing?

"Really? That's why I asked how to sell it!" Liu Ben urged: "Tell me, Grandpa."

"Most of the rice here is bought by small grain and oil merchants who come here to buy rice. They offer a relatively low price. Even the best rice only costs one or two yuan. But that's normal. People in the city like to buy branded rice. Many people don't like to buy the bulk rice grown by farmers like us."

"Then they definitely won't buy my rice. They can't afford 40 yuan per pound," said Liu Ben.

"Yes, there are also some people who have connections and sell their rice to some small supermarkets, where bulk rice is more common and the price is relatively moderate; or they just transport a few baskets of rice themselves and sell them, but few people buy this." Liu Yibiao shook his head. Obviously, these two methods were not very good.

Liu Ben frowned. Obviously, these were not the ways to sell rice at a high price.

Liu Yibiao glanced at him and said with a smile, "So, you should listen to your grandma and sell the house to open a shop. Otherwise, if you can't bear to part with the house, you can find a friend to borrow money. Once you make money from the rice, you can pay it back immediately."

"Borrow money..." Liu Ben held his chin with his hands.

He doesn't seem to have any rich friends...right?

A person appeared in Liu Ben's mind.

The author has something to say:

System: Don’t even think about farming easily hehehe~

P.S.: The original title of the article "It's OK to Farm, Why Do I Have to Abuse Trash" is too long. My friend said it's not attractive and won't increase collections, so I shortened it to "Farming, Eating, Abusing Trash", but I didn't change the cover because I still like the original title ￣へ￣ (although I often can't remember it myself)

Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution for me~

. . . . . . . 5 bottles of cookies ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

haimi irrigated 2 bottles of mm beans (*-з-）"

Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
