When the cub returned to the firewood yard after talking with the Minister of Revenue and walked through the bamboo forest, he was in deep thought, with a frown on his face, his two little hands behind his back, and his two short legs walking very fast, as if he was thinking about what the Minister of Revenue had said about the frost disaster that caused the people to starve and there was no food in the whole place.
Whenever Su Xi saw him, her heart softened with cuteness and she wanted to poke his face, but two messages popped up on the interface:
“Congratulations on completing the main mission five (beginner): Make friends with the Minister of Revenue! Receive a gold coin reward of +100 and a point reward of +2.”
This task was indeed relatively easy, just meet once and it will be done.
I think with the cub’s ability, today’s conversation should have won the favor and praise of the Minister of Revenue and the Fifth Prince.
Just when Su Xi was about to be happy about accumulating 27 points, she received a new task.
“Please accept the main mission six (beginner): control the famine, feed the local people, become famous in the capital, get the title of ‘Unknown Divine Merchant’, and initially attract the emperor’s attention.”
“This mission has a difficulty of nine stars, the gold coin reward is 1,000, and the point reward is 10.”
This task, which ran parallel to the second task of producing 2,000 kilograms and earning 13,000 coins, was the most difficult one among the tasks currently available. However, once it attracted the emperor’s attention, it meant that a storm would be about to break out.
Su Xi was a little excited and a little worried and couldn’t help but drink a sip of water.
While on the screen, the cub had already quickly returned to the house.
….
The first thing Lu Huan saw was the twelve messy brushes on the table to the left of the inkstone.
He was stunned for a moment, then his indifferent expression melted away and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
…Does it mean “extremely happy”?
At first, Lu Huan thought that the man had ulterior motives and was very wary. Later, Lu Huan thought that the man must be someone in a high position and unfathomable, so he always remained wary of him.
But as they got to know each other more and more, he gradually felt that… that person’s behavior was eccentric, yet a little bit innocent, as if he was a lively person.
This gradual understanding was like a gentle companionship. It was as if a hole had gradually melted in Lu Huan’s frozen heart, hiding some secrets that only he and that person knew, and also some of his normal emotions, like other living people, except for his coldness and indifference…
…Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, he gradually developed all of these.
The man answered both questions.
To the second question, the man answered – “Yes.”
Lu Huan couldn’t help but frown. Just as he expected, the man couldn’t leave a single word for some reason.
But, what was the reason?
He thought about it carefully and was about to write a reply when Guard C came to tell him that the three of them had made a preliminary model of the cold-proof shed and other things he had arranged earlier according to his diagrams. Changgong Wu also cleaned up the farm and there was no snow now.
He asked him if he could go and take a look tonight to see how the farm should be arranged and then give instructions to the three people.
Lu Huan’s thoughts were interrupted, so he put down his pen temporarily and went out again at night.
Su Xi also wanted to see what the farm was like now, so she quickly switched over with the cub.
After clearing the snow off the hillside, the landscape really changed dramatically!
The cub had also hired someone to build a wooden house on the farm, so that it would be convenient for Changgong Wu to keep watch at night! This small house had tea, a bed, a table and chairs, everything you need.
The winter-proof shed, roosters, hens, and crops that were originally in the cub’s yard were all moved to the farm. In this way, the farm could operate from today!
Su Xi watched as the first step of his journey to build a business from scratch began here, and she was very excited.
She switched the interface to the winter shed next to the farm cottage and stared at the chickens that had been with her cubs for almost a month – there were too few of them.
She wanted to give the cub a big gift.
She opened the mall.
….
Here, when they heard that the Third Young Master would come tonight, Changgong Wu and Master Ding were very excited. After all, the Third Young Master was their backbone, and many things would depend on his instructions. So the old and the young ran all the way to the farm gate to greet him.
After Lu Huan and Guard C arrived at the farm, they walked straight in.
Guard C was a chatterbox and kept chattering along the way, with a bunch of messages popping up on Su Xi’s interface.
And the cub frowned slightly.
When they reached the farm cottage, the four little men suddenly heard a great noise coming from the winter shed next to them.
Then, a gust of wind blew, and countless chicken feathers covered the sky.
The scene was very spectacular in the evening. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, it looked like heavy snow fluttering in the air.
Changgong Wu was startled and hurried over to take a look. His eyes widened immediately. “There are so many more chickens in the chicken coop… There are – at least two or three hundred!”
Guard C and Master Ding also ran over to take a look. When they saw this, their jaws dropped and they almost fell to their knees.
“Oh My God!”
What happened? As soon as they left to pick up the Third Young Master, the chickens gave birth to chickens, and the number increased from 26 to 200 or 300?!
They were so shocked that they didn’t know what to do. Behind them, Lu Huan looked at the flying feathers against the setting sun. His handsome face seemed to be soaked in the sunset, and his usually dark eyes finally shone like stars.
….
Of course they didn’t know, but Lu Huan knew that this was a gift from that person.
It was the first time he earned money, the first time he had a home outside of Ning Wang’s mansion, the first time he climbed out of the mire, and he was full of longing for the future…
In these moments, there was no one to share the joy, only that person was there.
If that person could be here, if that person could be here…
….
Su Xi outside the screen was also stunned by the flying chicken feathers. He and his son looked at the sunset and chicken feathers over there.
The two people were looking at the same scenery in different time and space.
The author has something to say:
The cub: These chickens… ?
Su Xi: Don’t ask, the answer is mitosis.
