On the evaluation are, there was a stage where are the judges seated. In front of the stage, big round tables were spread around and in one of them is where Song Tian sat in with his friends and little sister.

Song Tian saw his elder sister who's looking around, and he waves his hand, "Sister, here!" he said.

Tanaka Miyu saw Song Xue sat on beside her, smiled, "Sister Xue, aren't you busy with your work?" she asked.

Song Xue smiled, "I've already done all my works," she said.

Song Xue continued, "Have you considered to work at my company?" she asked.

Tanaka Miyu smiled bitterly, "Nah, you're going to makes me work 24/7 like Sister Ling," she said.

Song Tian didn't seem surprised to see his elder sister and Tanaka Miyu is familiar with each other, as his elder sister told him that Tanaka Miyu is her junior in middle and high school.

Song Xue looked at her little brother, "Are you nervous now?" she asked as she saw her little brother seems to be quiet.

Song Tian sighed, "How can I not? Sister Miyu product alone already terrifies me," he said, and there is Pedro Costa, which he considered freak when it comes to the plants.

Pedro Costa brought a lot of 3-star products with him, from fruits to vegetables. While Tanaka Miyu only brought fruits with her.

He also heard that there's another contestant who's the same ages as him, but he didn't meet with the person yet.

Song Tian saw Tanaka Daichi, and Andre Montero is also coming and sat on the chair.

"Looks, Fujiwara Ayame is on the stage," Su Wen said.

Song Tian saw Fujiwara Ayame with the other four judges, he's surprised to see that she's the only young judges around.

"So, everyone's already gathered?" Pedro Costa came and sat to the chair with his wife and another young man and young woman.

Tanaka Daichi eyes lit up when he saw Pedro Costa brought a young man with him, he looked at Song Tian, "Xiao Tian, here's another member of Archaine Farming Association, Tom Hawkes," he said as he introduces the young man who's just sat on the chair.

Song Tian and Tom Hawkes looked at each other, surprised. Both of them didn't expect to meet participants, which is about the same as their age. Although the festival had a lot of participants in it, most of them are around the ages of the thirties and older.

Tom Hawkes smiled, eagerly shaking Song Tian's hand, "Wow, I didn't expect to meet another young farmer. How come I didn't see you at the previous festival?" he asked.

Song Tian smiled, "Yeah, here I thought I'm the youngest ones here," he said.

Song Tian continued, "I just started earlier on this January. Did you participate here often?" he asked.

Tom Hawkes surprised to hear that, "No wonder. Yes, I participate in this festival ever since I was 15," he said.

This time, Song Tian is the one who's surprised. Tom Hawkes then told him that he was homeschooling, that's why he had a lot of times on his hands.


Song Tian smiled bitterly and wondered why he didn't think that was the possibility. If he knew that, he would probably ask his parents to homeschool instead.

An hour has been passed, and Song Tian saw a lot of participant being shot down by Fujiwara Ayame's ruthless critics. She didn't even try to sugarcoat the word she put on.

Although it may sound harsh to people, Song Tian understands that all of her critics are constructive. Some people who take the critics seriously were grateful because it'll help them improves, while some of them left in anger as they can't handle the harsh critic from her.

Song Tian decided that he would ask Fujiwara Ayame about his jams and other product in the future.

Several moments later, Song Tian heard an announcement, "All the crops competition participants, please prepare your products," the announcer said on the stage.

Song Tian and other participants started to unpack their product and wait for their names to be called on the stage.

There are five judges, which is Vishal Singh from India, Robert Johson from America, Ethan Anderson from Australia, Huang Min from China and Mario Silva from Brazil.

No farmers didn't know their names, because they're the top five of the biggest and richest farmer in the world.

Several moments later, Pedro Costa, Tanaka Miyu and Tom Hawkes already being evaluated by the judges.

Song Tian finds out that the crops are being evaluated by the quality of its size, freshness, taste, variety, and others stuff.

"Participant number 2311, Song Tian, please come to the stage," the announcer said.

Song Tian suddenly feels his stomach didn't feel really well and cold sweat started trickling on his back, "Damn, I can't believe this stuff making me nervous likes crazy," he thought as he picks his crops.

Su Wen tries to hold her laugh as it was her first time seen Song Tian being nervous while Song Xia already laughed looking at her brother.

Song Tian cursed on his mind, and he went to the stage.

Robert Johnson saw a young man coming to the stage, surprised, "Hoho, another young one," he said which makes the other judges looked at the man who's coming to the stage.

While the other judges discussed what the young man is going to bring them, Huang Min only glanced at the young man and didn't say anything.

Vishal Singh looked at Huang Min being indifferent, "Old Huang, aren't you excited to see a young farmer participating?" he asked.

Huang Min sighed, "I am, but it depends whether he's worthy being called farmer or not," he said.

Huang Min already saw a lot of young farmers, but most of them retired early and ended up doing another job instead.

Coming from a small family to who he is today, Huang Min can't tolerate such half-hearted people.

After Song Tian put his crops on the judge's table, Song Tian stepped back and looking at the judges starting to evaluate his product.

Mario Silva looked at the strawberry and eats it, he nodded and started to pick the pen on his table. The other judges are also started doing so.

Huang Min glanced at Song Tian, "Young man, how many years have you started your farm?" he asked.

Song Tian answered, "I've started my farm this year, in January," he said.

The judges were shocked to hear that.

"This January? Impossible," Ethan Anderson said as he started to discuss it with the other judges.

The strawberry he tasted is already high quality, how can the young man already cultivate such high-quality strawberry while he just started to become a farmer.

Song Tian already left the stage as the judge started to evaluate his product.

The judges are evaluating Song Tian's other crops, starting from cabbage to blueberry. All of them surprised that all the product is high-quality.

Robert Johnson put the paper back to the table, he laughed, "This young man sure has potential," he said.

Vishal Singh nodded eagerly, "He is, he can already produce crops which rivals that Tom Hawkes," he said.

"Yes, that was unexpected," Mario Silva said.

Ethan Anderson sighed, "He just started his farm and already produce such product, I can't even imagine if he started several years earlier," he said.

Although Huang Min didn't say anything, he was also surprised by the young man. "Interesting, I hope he's not going to give up," he thought in his mind.

Several moments later, the winners from each competition being announced.

"Now, it's time to announce the crops competition," the announcer said as he opened a note.

The announcer looked at the note, "Wow, this is unexpected," he said, but he just realizes that he forgot to turn off the microphone.

The announcer coughed, "Third place, Song Tian with 1085 point," he said.

Tom Hawkes surprised, he looked at Song Tian, "Wow, congratulation," he said.

Tom Hawkes didn't expect that he didn't get the third place this time as he's always on the top three ever since he's started to participate in the festival.

Song Tian was surprised to hear his name in the third place, he didn't even think he would be on the top three at all. Because he already saw Tom Hawkes's product, which has the same quality as his crops.

Several moments later, Song Tian found out that his point on variety is slightly higher than Tom Hawkes. Although Tom Hawkes has the same quality crops, he only brought three product with him while Song Tian brought six crops with him.

Tanaka Miyu held second place, and Pedro Costa holds the first place.

While Tanaka Miyu brought 3-star fruits, it's mixed with some 2-star crops. But Pedro Costa came with all 3-star crops which makes him dominates the competition.

What makes a lot of farmers participate in this festival is the rewards. It's because not only the top three gets trophy and certificate, they also get $3 Million for the first place, the second place gets $1 Million, while the third place gets $500.000.

At the table, Tom Hawkes looked at Song Tian, laughed, "Song Tian, I'll take back my spot next year. Prepare yourself," he said as he already considers Song Tian as his rival.

Song Tian smiled, "I can't wait for that," he said, and all of them started to went back to their stand to pack their stuff.

On the stand, Pedro Costa looked at Song Tian, "Song Tian, how is your alcohol tolerance?" he asked.

Song Tian answered, "Not too bad, I guess. Why?" he said.

Pedro Costa laughed, "Good, we're going to celebrate tonight," he said.
