In less than twenty minutes, a few workers had dug a pit about one and a half meters deep.

Together, they lifted the mutated walnut tree Jiang Tao specifically wanted out of the pit.

Under Ma Qingsheng’s instructions, they directly loaded it onto the 4.2-meter truck he drove over.

Jiang Tao immediately transferred 3,000 RMB to Ma Qingsheng via WeChat.

That concluded the transaction.

"Second Uncle, did you really spend 3,000 RMB just to buy this thing?"

"There are plenty of walnut trees in our village. If you want one, just tell me, and I can find you one for free."

Jiang Shaojie looked at the walnut tree on the truck, its roots still clinging to the soil, thinking his second uncle made a bad deal.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "What do you know? Do you think your uncle’s judgment would lead to a losing deal?"

"Just wait and see. In the future, this walnut tree can earn back what I spent on it a hundred or even a thousand times over."

"Hundred or thousand times?! That would take forever!"

Jiang Shaojie quickly calculated in his head.

Three thousand RMB times a hundred is 300,000 RMB.

A thousand times would be a whopping 3 million RMB!

How many walnuts would it take to earn 3 million RMB?!

However, Second Uncle doesn’t seem like the type to just blow smoke.

Could this tree grow golden walnuts or something?

Jiang Shijie asked, "Second Uncle, what are we going to do now? Go home?"

"Didn’t you say you missed your girlfriend?"

Jiang Tao teased his big nephew before saying,

"You two stay here and watch the truck and the tree. I have to step away for a bit."

After instructing his two nephews, Jiang Tao took a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums from the truck’s compartment and turned to walk into the distance.

After Jiang Tao left, Jiang Shaojie nudged his brother’s arm, whispering softly,

"Bro, do you think Second Uncle sneaked off to meet some woman behind Auntie’s back?"

Jiang Shijie glared at his brother: "Don’t talk nonsense, Second Uncle isn’t like that."

Jiang Shaojie said, "Then why is he carrying flowers?"

"Who the heck gives chrysanthemums on a date? You idiot!"

As he spoke, Jiang Shijie gave his foolish little brother a flick on the forehead.

Unknown to the brothers, Jiang Tao was oblivious to their gossip about him.

He was completely focused on the live map projected onto his retina.

About 300 meters away from his current location, a yellow dot the size of a quail egg flickered continuously.

Jiang Tao deliberately parked the car far from the "zombie car" mentioned in the intel, making it easier for him to act.

Within the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Jiang Tao walked to the vicinity of the "zombie car" mentioned in the intel.

The car was a white Volkswagen Bora with a Hebei license plate.

The body of the car was covered with a thick layer of dust.

The roof appeared to be a restroom for birds, with all kinds of white and yellow droppings.

The car windows were so dust-covered that you couldn’t see inside.

The area around the car was like a vacuum.

The parking spaces on both sides were empty, as no one wanted to park next to it.

Jiang Tao walked up and placed the bunch of chrysanthemums on the Bora’s windshield.

"Though I don’t know if you are male or female, young or old, I hope you reincarnate into a better life in the next."

"And thank you for your Bitcoin."

Jiang Tao silently murmured these words.

No sooner had he finished speaking when it felt like someone had just touched his pants pocket.

Startled, he looked at his pocket, feeling something extra inside.

He reached in and felt something cool and smooth,

pulled it out to find a stainless steel folding USB drive about the size of a middle finger!

Moreover, the USB was emitting a faint golden glow in his vision.

Clearly, this USB was the one Brother Tongzi had mentioned in the intel!

On the way there, Jiang Tao was worrying about how to discreetly snag the USB drive in broad daylight.

Yet he hadn’t even started, and the USB had mysteriously landed in his pocket!

"Thanks!"

Jiang Tao looked at the zombie car and sincerely thanked it before turning away.

Passing the entrance of the service area’s shopping hall, Jiang Tao bought six pure meat donkey burgers at an outside food stand.

Adding 10 RMB more to each, he asked the seller to add more meat, turning it into a plus version of the donkey burger.

The donkey burgers in B State, while not as authentic as those in B Ding, were still quite tasty.

The outside was golden and crispy, and the donkey meat inside was tender and flavorful.

Each burger cost about 30 RMB, a fair price.

After buying the burgers, he went into the service area’s convenience store to buy a few bottles of Red Bull and some Oriental Leaves tea.

He wouldn’t make it home in time for lunch today, so he’d grab something on the go.

"Second Uncle, you’re back!"

"Second Uncle."

Seeing their uncle carrying bags, the brothers quickly went to help.

Jiang Tao said with a smile, "Let’s just grab a quick bite for lunch, and tonight we’ll head to Bai Yulan for a feast."

"Bai Yulan! I’ve never been to such a fancy restaurant in my life! Can we take photos, Second Uncle?"

"I want to take plenty of photos and flaunt them at school once it starts!"

Jiang Shaojie got excited immediately upon hearing about dinner at Bai Yulan.

"Take as many as you want. Your aunt has a DJI Phantom 3; you can borrow it to make a vlog."

Jiang Tao said, smiling, while handing over the larger version of the donkey burgers from the bag to his nephews.

"Wow, donkey burgers! So much meat! I need to snap a picture first!"

Jiang Shaojie took the donkey burger and immediately took out his phone, snapping a few photos.

The trio chattered as they devoured their donkey burgers and Oriental Leaves tea.

Once they were satisfied, Jiang Tao drove, and the three of them began their journey home.

The way back wasn’t as smooth as the way there.

It was stop-and-go the whole way, turning a journey that should have taken a bit over two hours into a three-hour trip!

Thankfully, having the two nephews to chat with, and after a good night’s sleep in [Deep Sleep Mode],

Jiang Tao didn’t feel tired at all while driving.

The trio finally returned to Jiang Family Manor a little after 4 PM.

The gate of Jiang Tao’s house was locked since Xu Li had taken Jiang Xue to visit her mother and would return in the evening.

After opening the door, the three of them carried the mutated walnut tree into the courtyard.

Then, under Jiang Tao’s direction, the brothers dug a hole near the west wall of the courtyard and replanted the tree.

They fertilized and watered it as Ma Qingsheng had instructed.

"You two worked hard going out with me all day; here’s your pay."

After planting the tree, Jiang Tao cheerfully pulled out some cash from his pocket and handed it to his nephews.

Ever since obtaining the [Money Breeds Money] card, Jiang Tao received 10,000 RMB daily and didn’t lack cash.

"Hehe, thanks, Second Uncle!"

"Thanks, Second Uncle!"

The brothers accepted the money with gratitude, not holding back. After thanking him, they took the cash.

Jiang Shaojie felt the thickness of the cash in his hand and estimated it to be at least 3,000 RMB.

All he did was take a trip with Second Uncle and ended up with this "salary."

Their Second Uncle sure was generous!

"Come back here around 6 PM, and we’ll head out," Jiang Tao said, waving them off.

"Goodbye, Second Uncle!"

"Goodbye, Second Uncle!"

With excitement, the brothers waved enthusiastically to Jiang Tao and jogged outside.

Seeing them off, Jiang Tao went back to the living room and pulled out the Bitcoin key he carried with him.

He didn’t know much about Bitcoin,

only that it’s a famous global cryptocurrency,

and it’s quite valuable.

In many online novels, protagonists who are reborn often stockpile a bunch of Bitcoin at its initial release, waiting for it to appreciate and achieve financial freedom.

Jiang Tao took out his phone and opened the browser to check today’s Bitcoin price. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"752,358!"

One Bitcoin translates to over 750,000 RMB.

The intel indicated that there were two Bitcoins in the USB, totaling over 1.5 million RMB.
