Chang Jing couldn't wait to go home and count the money he had earned. In just a few hours, he had earned three or four hundred yuan. It was indeed possible to make a fortune with no capital.

Time flows faster in this space than in the real world, and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, farming is one of the best ways for Changjing to accumulate wealth at this stage.

The old market is the largest and most comprehensive market in Huaxian County, catering to both retail and wholesale. The flower and bird street and antique street are also located in that area; perhaps you can find some valuable plants or flowers at bargain prices.

"Come on, come on, try some delicious beef offal and brisket."

"Don't miss out, a bag of big apples for five yuan."

After passing through the bustling market, Chang Jing found the seed shop with ease. The shop, which was less than ten square meters in size, was filled with layers of wooden shelves labeled with vegetable seeds, herb seeds, and so on.

"Boss, give me seeds: strawberry, tomato, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew melon seeds, and this and that..."

Looking at the labels on the shelf, I simply stopped talking about the seed names and just pointed at them with my fingers, pointing to a total of twenty or thirty kinds.

The old man selling seeds glanced at Chang Jing, assuming he was just another rich person buying seeds to grow for fun. He quickly packed up what Chang Jing wanted and then gave him a price.

"It's all installed for you, it'll cost you sixty-seven yuan in total."

Most of the seeds he sells are wholesale to shops in towns and villages, and he doesn't sell them individually. So he didn't bother to greet him and just took the money and handed a bag of seeds to Chang Jing.

After leaving the seed shop, Chang Jing headed towards the flower and bird street. His space could improve the genes of plants, and if they were well-nurtured, they could evolve into mutant plants. Just imagine the high-end orchids, exquisite peonies, multicolored camellias... all of which would be a fortune in the future.

Passing by the so-called antique street, the flow of people quickly decreased. It was mostly filled with jade shops, wood carving shops, and all sorts of things, including scrap metal, ancient coins, bronzes, calligraphy and paintings.

However, locals know that 99 out of 100 items are counterfeit, so most people don't like to shop here.

When Chang Jing, a young man, came to the antique street, the vendors all had bright eyes and called out to him to come and take a look at their stalls.

"Hey handsome, come and see what you like, maybe find some antiques or trinkets."

The stall owner, fanning himself with a large palm-leaf fan, tried to solicit business from anyone he saw. Chang Jing looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the two-meter-long stall was filled with antique items. In his eyes, which had been through many years of time travel, 99.9% of them were fake. As for the remaining 0.1%...

"This little bottle is quite exquisite; it looks perfect for my sister to fill with mosquito repellent to take to school. How much is this bottle, sir?"

"Young man, you have a good eye. This is a snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty. If this were in a shop, it would cost five thousand yuan to sell. But my stall is small, so I'll just charge you one thousand yuan."

"Boss, you're making too much money selling a craft item that costs only a few dollars for five thousand! How about three dollars? I'm just a poor student, where would I get that much money to buy antiques?"

"What, three yuan? No way, my cost price is more than that, at least two hundred. I'm only not making money off you because you're a student."

"This bottle only cost a few cents to buy, just three dollars. If we can't sell it, so be it. How about these copper coins? If it's cheap, I'll pick a few to make shuttlecocks."

"These are ancient bronze coins, fifty yuan each, take your pick."

"Forget it then. If the boss doesn't want to do business with me, I won't waste his time. The price is too high. I can't afford it with only five yuan."

As Chang Jing stood up to leave, the vendor quickly grabbed him, thinking, "Five yuan is still money; even a mosquito bite is still meat."

"Don't rush off. I'll sell the snuff bottle for five dollars. Seeing how sincere you are, I'll sell this antique to you."

"No, that won't do. Five yuan is too expensive. How about this, I'll pick out another copper coin for five yuan. My sister lost her shuttlecock, so I can make her a new one."

"Alright, alright! You pick one."

As he spoke, he stuffed the snuff bottle into Chang Jing's hand, afraid that the other party might not want it. Chang Jing didn't hesitate, seemingly casually picked up a copper coin, and then handed five yuan to the shopkeeper, and the transaction was completed.

The vendor was satisfied; the bottles that cost five cents each had sold for ten times their original price. Chang Jing was also happy; he had bought a Ming Dynasty Hongwu Tongbao coin for five yuan, and could resell it for at least ten thousand yuan, so he wouldn't lose money.

However, this is a small county town, so the price won't be high even if it's resold. He can try his luck at the antique market in the provincial capital when he has more capital.

Lost in thought, Chang Jing didn't notice a boy greeting him until the boy tried to pat Chang Jing on the shoulder.

"Ouch! Let go, let go, it hurts so much!"

Upon recognizing his classmate, Chang Jing quickly let go of her hand and said irritably, "Tangyuan? What are you doing sneaking around like that?"

"No, I called you several times but you didn't answer me, so I chased after you to pat you on the shoulder as a greeting."

He's the one who's frustrated! Chang Jing's grip is so strong.

"Chang Jing, do you want to come to my house to watch DVDs? I've invited Da Tou and Si Gou to meet me at my house later."

"..." Chang Jing remembered that his good friends were all studious and very curious about matters between men and women. They often got together in groups of three or five to watch Japanese adult films.

"Are you coming or not? I just came out to buy some beer and snacks for everyone. No one's home today, so we can stay out until tonight."

"You're treating? You've been making a lot of pocket money lately?"

These fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys are incredibly lecherous. They frequently circulated erotic comics at school, and now that it's summer vacation, they've gathered together to watch porn and masturbate.

“One person can treat each other once! Summer vacation is so long, it’s bound to be our turn eventually. Let me tell you, Liang Yi hooked up with the prettiest girl in our class. Today he was telling us all about his relationship with her. Hehehe, come on, let’s go buy some more snacks and then we can go home. They should be here by now.”

How wonderful, carefree. If it were the old Chang Jing, he would have followed along eagerly. But the current Chang Jing is unwilling to waste any more time. He doesn't want to lose his friendships, but he also can't let his grand plan of making money be delayed.

"No, I have something to do today. Those action movies are not suitable for an innocent teenager like me. You should watch less of them too, lest you run out of energy before you even grow up."

Tangyuan grinned mischievously, and Chang Jing, not wanting to spoil the fun, could only jokingly decline, even making a promise to go to an internet cafe to play Counter-Strike together next time.

"Tch, you may be a virgin, but being innocent has nothing to do with you! Alright, let's meet up another time!"

Tangyuan wasn't angry when her friend refused; they had plenty of activities like this, and they could always make plans another time.

After parting ways with his classmates, Chang Jing went to the flower and bird market as planned and bought a lot of flower and plant seedlings before returning home.

Chang Jing didn't rest after arriving home. He immediately went into his space to start farming, planting all the seeds he had bought from the old market.

Vegetables have a short ripening period; watered with spiritual spring water, they can be planted today and harvested tomorrow. Fruits like strawberries, watermelons, and cantaloupes also have a short ripening period, harvested in about two days. Moreover, plants in the space can continue to flower and bear fruit if not removed.
