316: That's because only three out of a bunch of seeds will survive.

"Today I really saw it! It's the first time I've seen tomatoes go from seed to fruit in less than twenty minutes!"

"Hahahahaha, see that? The Vendor's face changed. I never thought Brother Su's growth acceleration shed would be so effective, making crops mature in minutes."

"It's unscientific! How did the Streamer do it, and what's the principle behind it? I only knew that animals could significantly boost growth efficiency through hormones; this is the first time I've seen it with plants."

"Everyone, stop talking nonsense. The tomatoes have grown, but the variety doesn't look like what the Vendor boss showed the Farmer Old Man earlier. Let's go confront the boss and clarify!"

"Exactly! Confront the boss and clarify! The facts are right in front of us; let's see how he can explain it now."

In the live stream, the global audience's goals astonishingly aligned at this moment.

Even netizens from China couldn't stand it, cursing furiously and indignantly!

This matter clearly had nothing to do with them; it was all the Vendor's doing, but everyone's faces were already losing face.

Their own citizen did such a thing in front of a global audience and was caught red-handed by the Streamer.

This was truly embarrassing.

Su Yu looked at the three tomato plants in the growth acceleration shed and asked the Vendor boss with a smile,

"Boss, these seeds have matured and borne fruit. How do you think they look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he then turned to the Farmer Old Man and said,

"Old Man, come and see if these grown tomatoes are the same as what the Vendor boss promised you earlier?"

The Farmer Old Man at this moment couldn't possibly not realize that he had been tricked!

These tomatoes were clearly the most common ones sold in the market, having absolutely no relation to imported seeds from China!

The Vendor's earlier confident assurances were all lies.

If Su Yu hadn't happened to pass by today and exposed this unscrupulous merchant's true colors, he probably would have lost all his money on the expensive seeds he bought, and truly ended up with nothing!

The most crucial thing was that if he had really believed the unscrupulous merchant, then his most fertile land this year would likely have been wasted for nothing.

This loss would be maximized!

The Farmer Old Man angrily ran to the Vendor, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him directly off the ground like a chicken.

"Unscrupulous merchant! Give me back my money!!"

"You keep these crappy seeds!!"

As he spoke, he threw the tomato seeds, which he had just cherished as treasures, directly at the Vendor's feet, his eyes blazing with fury.

The Vendor struggled to get up.

Having his true colors exposed in front of so many people at the market, his old face was now redder than a ripe tomato.

"You, don't listen to this kid's nonsense!"

"Everyone, don't be fooled by him either! This kid is the real swindler!"

Seeing that the Vendor boss was still putting up a stubborn resistance, even the onlookers who were just watching couldn't help themselves.

"Bah! I even defended you earlier! I didn't expect you to really be a swindler!"

"Hmph! The facts are already laid out; you want to quibble? Come on, I'll give you a chance to quibble. I want to hear what kind of tricks you, this unscrupulous merchant, can come up with!"

The Vendor boss broke free from the Farmer Old Man's rough, strong hands, then took a deep breath and began to sophistically argue.

"The entire planting process just now was witnessed by everyone! This kid clearly sprinkled a handful of tomato seeds in there. If tomato seeds were really going to sprout and grow, it would absolutely be impossible for only three plants to grow!"

"I ask, where did all the other seeds go? Why didn't they germinate?"

"The only explanation is that these three tomato plants in front of us were prepared by this kid in advance! They are absolutely not tomato seedlings grown from my seeds!"

"And do you really believe there's anything that can make tomato seeds go from planting to fruiting in less than twenty minutes?"

"If such a miraculous thing truly existed in the world, it would absolutely not be something he could produce."

The Vendor boss's series of analyses and rebuttals, at first listen, might seem like a desperate attempt, but upon closer thought, they seemed to have some truth to them.

That's right.

The young man had clearly sprinkled a handful of seeds earlier. Logically, even if the seeds germinated, there should have been a patch of tomato seedlings, not just a mere three plants.

On the scene, the crowd frowned again, their gazes sweeping back and forth between Su Yu and the Vendor boss.

But Su Yu, hearing these words, retorted without even thinking, directly complaining with a helpless shrug.

His answer was even more unexpected to everyone.

"Only three plants survived from a handful of seeds because only these three seeds in the handful were viable. The rest were duds!"

???

!!!!

Only three seeds out of a handful survived?!

Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding crowd widened.

Wait! This reason is so absurd! But why is it also so logical?!

The crowd's eyes were sharp.

The people who had gathered earlier had heard the previous confrontation between Su Yu and the Vendor boss.

Su Yu's initial accusation was that the Vendor boss deliberately passed off inferior tomato seeds as good quality, deceiving consumers! Inferior quality came first, and then deceiving consumers with the wrong tomato variety came second.

These were two reasons.

The Vendor, hearing this, was choked speechless for a moment. If looks could kill, Su Yu would probably have been sliced into a thousand pieces and dismembered by him right now.

Is that a reason a human being could come up with?!

Seeing that everyone was still suspicious and disbelieving, Su Yu could only shrug helplessly and continue speaking.

"How about this. If everyone doesn't believe me, then how about we do the experiment again?"

"This time, let's use other seeds. You can randomly give me any seeds on the spot; that way, it's impossible to fake it, right?"

"And for the seeds we re-select to plant, we can also choose multiple varieties, a little bit of each. Especially for bosses with good seeds, you can all bring out your own seeds for the experiment."

"If the seeds grown turn out to be identical to your own, then it will naturally prove that I did not cheat in the previous experiment."

"How about it? What do you all think of this method?"

What about this method?

Naturally, it was the simplest and most direct and effective method of self-proof. If one truly lacked confidence, no one would dare agree to such an experiment on the spot.

In fact, when Su Yu said these words, everyone present had already completely believed the young man from the bottom of their hearts.

In contrast, the Vendor boss's expression changed abruptly upon hearing these words, and he finally couldn't sit still.

After glancing around, he tried to seize the opportunity to sneak away!
