OFR – Chapter 61 Buy another arowana.

Mu Bai hadn’t expected this time’s random mission to require him to acquire three ultra-rare plants.

Each of these plants was worth a fortune. To buy three in one go would take a huge sum of money—and right now, he just happened to be short on funds.

This caught him completely off guard.

He needed time to prepare the money.

With that in mind, he started chatting with Han Mengyun on WeChat.

Mu Bai: I’ll help you ask, but when does the exhibition auction start? If there is one, I’ll let you know in advance.

Han Mengyun: Six days later, at 3 p.m.

Seeing Han Mengyun’s reply, Mu Bai let out a small sigh of relief.

It looked like the system had given him some time to prepare funds. With six days and the money-making abilities of his magical space, it would be enough to create a massive profit.

“Alright, I’ll contact you beforehand.”

After feeling reassured, Mu Bai exchanged a few polite words with Han Mengyun.

As for the rare plants she had asked about, he planned to sell her two or three.

After all, as he always said—selling is selling.

Selling to Han Mengyun also earned him a favor for free, which was not bad at all.

“Better remind Smart Star to ship out the jade stones quickly. I need to upgrade the space and start making money.”

Mu Bai had thought he’d be able to take it easy for a while, but the sudden random mission forced him to stay busy.

When he logged onto QQ, before he could even contact Smart Star, he saw that they had already messaged him.

Smart Star: Dear Mu, the 2 million yuan worth of jade stones has already been shipped. Since it’s local delivery, the courier should reach you within a few hours.

“Good, that’s fine then.”

The message had been sent at 3 p.m. It was already three hours later, so by his estimate, it should be arriving soon.

While waiting, he didn’t sit idle—he went back onto the Dragonfish Forum.

He originally hadn’t planned to raise both golden arowana and red arowana at the same level anymore, but the system mission forced him to keep going.

After all, blood arowana and spotted arowana were far too rare and couldn’t be found in a short time.

He skipped the homepage and went straight to the trading section.

The trading page was filled with posts as usual, along with information on many dragonfish shops in Nanjing and Jianghai Province.

• [Baiyun Fish Farm]: Selling various fish species, also buying rare species. Baiyun Fish Farm is under the Baiyun Group—our credibility and quality are absolutely reliable.
• “Premium adult golden arowana for sale, with pictures. PM me if interested, price negotiable.”
• “Selling a large batch of common green arowana fry, 30 yuan each. WeChat: ki52**, serious buyers only.”*
• “Looking to buy dragonfish? Join QQ group 4523****. Many sellers, urgently need buyers. All kinds of dragonfish available.”*

Mu Bai browsed through them one by one, but none caught his interest. This time he wanted only top-tier golden and red arowana fry.

So in the end, he focused on Baiyun Fish Farm’s post.

Baiyun Fish Farm was owned by Baiyun Group, which was a leader in the southern catering, farming, and aquaculture industries.

The group was already publicly listed, valued at 300 billion yuan, and ranked among the top corporations in the country.

In terms of credibility, there was no issue at all. Plus, Mu Bai noticed that their fish farm was only a few kilometers away from him, so he decided to buy from them.

Baiyun Fish Farm had no private contact details—only its verified forum account with a 24-hour service badge.

After considering for a moment, Mu Bai opened a chat with them.

Mu Bai: Hello, I want to buy a batch of golden and red arowana fry. I need the best breeds.

Since it was a top company, someone was still on duty during dinner hours, and the reply came quickly.

Baiyun Fish Farm: Hello, premium golden and red arowana fry are very expensive, and their survival rate is extremely low. For the sake of both parties, we don’t recommend purchasing them. You can consider first-grade fry instead.

Mu Bai: Don’t worry. As long as they’re safely delivered, I won’t hold your company responsible.

He knew Baiyun Fish Farm valued its reputation. Premium golden and red fry were expensive yet fragile, so under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t sell them.

Sure enough, after he sent his message, the other side responded with a “please wait” emoji—clearly going to ask a superior.

A few minutes later, the customer service agent replied that they could sell them, but once delivered, the fry would have nothing further to do with Baiyun Fish Farm.

Mu Bai gave a firm confirmation and asked about delivery.

Once he learned professionals would handle the transport, he felt reassured and placed an order for 20 top-tier golden arowana fry and 20 top-tier red arowana fry, filling in his address and phone number.

After urging the customer service to ship quickly, he logged off the forum and went back to waiting for his jade delivery.

As he waited, night gradually fell.

At 7 p.m., the courier finally arrived.

Mu Bai went downstairs to pick up the delivery, checked, and confirmed it was indeed 2 million yuan worth of jade stones—plus some small gifts from Smart Star.

After verifying everything, he signed, carried the package upstairs, and prepared to upgrade his farm.

But just as he entered his apartment and closed the door, his phone rang.

This time, it wasn’t a QQ or WeChat notification—it was an actual phone call!

Since losing his job, aside from couriers, hardly anyone had called him for a long time.

“Could it be another delivery? That’s impossible…”

Frowning, he set the jade down on the sofa, reached into his pocket, and pulled out his phone.
