Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 46

Chapter 46: Greenhouse

The opening ceremony was undoubtedly a great success.

Stimulated by the food, the indigenous people’s spirits soared. The idea of simply being spectators was quickly abandoned, replaced by fiery enthusiasm and passion.

After the ceremony, instead of dispersing as expected, the audience gathered even closer. The bold ones had already formed long queues at the recruitment center, hoping to join Ye Ze’s team, while the cautious ones followed behind the team, observing the clearing site, hoping to find stronger support from it.

The scene, livelier than a market, stunned the little snake sub-beast.

With mouth agape, the little one looked around in amazement, marveling at Ye Ze’s foresight.

“This is not surprising,” Ye Ze said, tapping the little snake sub-beast’s nose and smiling. “We came at the perfect time.”

The little snake sub-beast’s forehead was filled with even more question marks.

Winter is cold, barren, and dangerous. Isn’t that bad?

“But, Nuo Nuo, think about it. Isn’t it because of this that the residents of the city are less likely to go out and have more free time?” Ye Ze patiently guided.

Blinking their eyes, the little snake sub-beast wore a pensive expression.

Ye Ze wasn’t in a hurry. While walking with the little snake sub-beast on the grass, he waited for the little one’s answer.

Since discovering the little snake sub-beast’s talent for business, Ye Ze had been intentionally cultivating his entrepreneurial spirit.

He didn’t need the little snake sub-beast to become extremely savvy, but at the very least, they should understand some management methods and be willing to change his mindset of wanting to do everything themselves.

Otherwise, what if the little snake sub-beast becomes exhausted from running his beloved little shop when it grows big in the future?

Ye Ze didn’t want that to happen.

“Nuo Nuo understands, it’s because of time!” The little snake sub-beast’s eyes lit up, excitedly expressing their conclusion, “Because it’s winter now, everyone doesn’t have to be as busy as before with hunting and trading. So they are willing to spend time trying out a new way of life.”

With this, they could win big profits, and even if they lost, they wouldn’t suffer.

It was even easier to recruit workers than usual.

“You’re amazing, Nuo Nuo. Absolutely correct,” Ye Ze praised wholeheartedly.

If this were in modern times, the little snake sub-beast would surely be the most favored type of student by teachers.

Responsible, intelligent, and adept at drawing connections.

“But, apart from that, there’s one more thing you didn’t mention,” Ye Ze said, meeting the little snake sub-beast’s inquiring gaze with a gentle look, “It’s about the scope of recruitment.”

Their recruitment scope was not limited to just beastmen.

This gave the indigenous people more choices.

After all, in the perilous world of the wilderness, martial strength was quite an important ability. Beastmen, who generally possessed combat prowess, often played a role in supporting their families from all angles.

For them to abandon the “correct” way of life proven by their ancestors countless times and wholeheartedly immerse themselves in farming was obviously unrealistic. It would also be a waste of resources.

On the contrary, sub-beasts and females, due to their limitations in combat power and physical strength, were rarely included in the “career structure.” However, they were a relatively affluent market waiting to be tapped into.

The little snake sub-beast looked at the long queue of people greeting them and then at the group wandering among the barren land. He indeed noticed a difference in gender ratio.

Impressive!

Ye Ze could even think of all these!

Ye Ze received another enthusiastic praise from the little snake sub-beast.

Even their tail wagged uncontrollably.

A seemingly mature leader, unexpectedly childish in front of their partner, and easily satisfied.

What kind of strange beastman was this!

…Alright. He admitted he was jealous!

Thinking of his own cold-faced fiance at home, Ming Ya, like a little noodle doll, shed broad-faced tears of envy as he bit his handkerchief.

Ling Jue, caught off guard, had to swallow double portions of dog food silently, wearing a wooden expression without wanting to speak. With Ye Ze’s permission, he silently followed his master to observe the farm’s planning up close.

They were also quite interested in the farm’s business.

If possible, I hope to cooperate with Ye Ze and take over the business related to the Dragon Palace City.

“Quite ambitious,” Ye Ze raised an eyebrow and tucked in the expanded collar of the little snake sub-beast, “Business matters cannot be resolved solely by personal relationships.”

“Of course. Please rest assured, Young Master Ye, we understand that,” Ling Jue calmly replied.

In fact, being allowed to observe these undisclosed matters, Ye Ze had already given them considerable face due to their relationship with An Nuo.

“We will deliver a formal cooperation proposal to Young Master Ye later,” Ling Jue, evidently not a novice in business, said decisively.

Ye Ze nodded. He diverted the admiring gaze of the little snake sub-beast, who was starting to show signs of idolization, and playfully poked the little snake sub-beast’s cheek with a hint of jealousy.

The strongest person was right in front of him. Why pay attention to anyone else?

The little snake sub-beast grunted a few times. Finally managing to catch Ye Ze’s wandering hand, they freed their cheek from punishment. Then they grabbed onto it tightly, refusing to let go.

Ye Ze was happy to let the little snake sub-beast get closer to him, pretending not to notice and turning to talk to Ling Jue instead. “Are there many sub-beast who do business in the Dragon Palace City?”

“…Quite a lot,” Ling Jue, the handyman, was speechless for a second. Glancing at the little snake sub-beast, he smiled and said, “Young Master Ye will surely like the atmosphere of the Dragon Palace City.”

Because that was the place most suitable for the little snake sub-beast’s development.

More accommodating, advanced, and prosperous than any other city.

“Looking forward to your visit,” Ling Jue extended an invitation.

Ye Ze hooked his hand with the little snake sub-beast’s. He remained noncommittal.

Not long after, the group arrived at the little snake sub-beast’s exclusive plot of land.

Located closest to the city, it was the most convenient spot to reach by beast-drawn carriage.

As the private land of the big boss, this was naturally the first plot of land to be developed.

With the powerful manpower of the savage world, the land had already been weeded and renovated in just a short time, revealing its waiting to be reborn inside.

The initial construction was completed. The crowd was flowing towards the inner construction site, leaving ample space for the arrival of the group.

Only a few curious indigenous people remained, their expressions showing excitement upon seeing Ye Ze.

Ye Ze smiled slightly, embraced the little snake sub-beast, and waved to the few people. “Everyone, this is a private plantation area and is not open to visitors for the time being. If you’re interested, you can go over there to see the fields. If you have any questions, ask the attendants stationed there, and they will tell you.”

The friendly attitude made the ordinary residents feel flattered. They nodded repeatedly in thanks and left without delay.

Ming Ya noticed the smile that didn’t quite reach Ye Ze’s eyes and smirked.

This trait was really not cute at all.

The onlookers dispersed. Ye Ze took out a pre-customized greenhouse ball from his space and released it.

The small ball, shimmering with a metallic sheen, flew into the sky and hovered about twenty meters high. It unfolded its eight petals from bottom to top, layer by layer, spreading outward as if endlessly.

In just a moment, a thin, semi-spherical greenhouse tent as delicate as a cicada’s wing was set up.

Ming Ya was so amazed that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

“It’s winter now, so only cold-resistant varieties can be planted outside. But with the greenhouse tent set up, Nuo Nuo can plant whatever he wants,” Ye Ze said as he touched the little snake sub-beast’s head. He brought up a holographic panel and explained to the little snake sub-beast how to use the greenhouse tent. “If you want to isolate different temperature zones, you just need to adjust these parameters.”

The little snake sub-beast withdrew his curious gaze. After carefully watching Ye Ze’s actions, he nodded obediently. “I got it!”

Got what? What did they understand?

The strange panel was covered with strange fonts that he couldn’t understand at all!

And why, when Ye Ze pointed and tapped on the seemingly empty space, did this so-called greenhouse tent really start moving!

Ming Ya’s pupils shook. His mouth opened and closed, shocked into speechlessness.

Ling Jue couldn’t help but show a bitter smile, sighing helplessly.

No wonder Ye Ze readily agreed and wasn’t worried about them leaking secrets.

Apart from giving An Nuo face and being confident that they posed no threat, it was also an important reason.

What was in front of them, even the always forward-thinking Dragon Palace City, completely couldn’t understand. They couldn’t even glimpse a hint of its mystery.

“Here we’ll plant spices, here we’ll plant vegetables, here we’ll plant off-season berries… Along the edges, we can grow some flowers. That way, the vegetable garden will look beautiful too!”

The little snake sub-beast enthusiastically planned the land on the holographic panel. He operated it while discussing with Ye Ze.

Ye Ze stood by, watching him with a smile on his face. Whenever the little snake sub-beast looked back at him, he nodded in agreement, offering support and response.

The little snake sub-beast became even more energetic.

With each tap of his finger, the automatic greenhouse tent in the air would lower dividers, separating the land into different sections. It precisely simulated the environment according to the temperature and humidity needs of the plants.

Then, with a flash of light, it disappeared into thin air.

After allocating these, the little snake sub-beast finally had the energy to focus on other things. Looking up and seeing no change indoors, he tilted his head in confusion.

He was different from Ming Ya in that he had seen those mysterious and unpredictable high-tech products before. After thinking for a moment, he reached out to the side to test it.

Sure enough, ripples like water waves appeared in the seemingly empty air, revealing the presence of the partition.

When his fingers passed through, he could also feel the peculiar sensation in the center and the different temperatures on both sides.

The little snake sub-beast’s eyes brightened. He poked and prodded at the air membrane, creating ripples.

Fun!

After playing around for a while, the little snake sub-beast looked up at Ye Ze. Joyful stars danced in his golden eyes.

“This way, it doesn’t feel strange anymore,” Ye Ze explained with a light chuckle, looking at the little snake sub-beast.

The space was lined with walls. Even if they were transparent, they didn’t look very nice.

The little snake sub-beast compared the two in his mind for a moment, then nodded. “Hmm!”

More and more miraculous things were happening.

Ming Ya showed an expression of unfamiliarity. As the two conversed, he cautiously stepped forward. He poked once with his finger, nothing happened; then again, it was really interesting! And again…

“Don’t play too much. If you keep touching it, it’ll drain the battery,” Ye Ze stated, turning his head. He also hinted that it was time to leave.

The little snake sub-beast wanted to finish planting before lunch so he could go oversee the barbecue stall in the afternoon.

Time was tight.

Ming Ya’s fingers, exploring the new thing, paused. He rolled his eyes massively at Ye Ze’s retreating figure.

Childish ghost! How can you be jealous even of this!

Whatever you leave for your partner, if he doesn’t want to play, then he won’t!

Ahhhh! What should he do, but he was still so annoyed! He really was turning into a jealous spirit!

Ling Jue rubbed his temples. He patted Ming Ya’s shoulder, not sure if it was sympathy or teasing.

Just get used to it.

This is quite a domineering beastman.

In all aspects.
