Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 72

Chapter 72: Banquet

The scale of the little snake sub-beast’s gratitude banquet was unexpectedly grand.

—Of course, the term “unexpected” only applied to the residents of the Dragon Palace City.

As Ming Ya and Ling Jue watched the curious students admiring the caravan, they silently thought to themselves: What’s a caravan? Even this one here is not even one percent as good as the ones Ye Ze and Nuo Nuo usually use. Wait until you see the castle outside the city that you find dangerous and unworthy of attention, and your eyes will pop out.

Then they cast their gaze towards the center of the living room and were slightly surprised.

There, gathered were teachers from the academy and some noble students’ mothers and fathers.

And the leader surrounded by them was the wife of City Lord Jiang He.

Due to the special status of the city lord, this noblewoman rarely participated in gatherings outside the Dragon Clan. The fact that she attended a “normal” student gathering hosted by the little snake sub-beast not only conveyed the reliability of the safety outside the Dragon Palace City to the people there but also served as a blessing and affirmation of Ye Ze and the little snake sub-beast’s identities.

But even Ming Ya and Ling Jue couldn’t understand why Ye Ze suddenly received such recognition from the White Dragon Clan.

What seemed like a lonely caraven contained considerable energy from the Dragon Palace City.

Before long, it parked in front of a small house at the foot of the mountain.

The first sub-beast to get off the car was about to marvel at how his intuition was indeed correct and how he must perform well later to avoid hurting the little snake sub-beast’s sensitive pride. But when he looked up, he saw the magnificent palace perched on the mountaintop and was immediately stunned.

Th-this, this, is it possible for such a project to be completed in just a month?!

“Wow! What is this? Several lines are connected to the mountaintop?”

“Look, there are seats in these small boxes!”

“Wow! I seem to have found something called a ‘switch’; look, the entire box has become transparent!”

As the leaders of the caravan team heading to the palace outside the city, Ming Ya and Ling Jue guided everyone to the boarding entrance of the cable car. Ming Ya introduced, “This is a sightseeing cable car. We will take this up the mountain later, and along the way, we can enjoy the sea view and the surrounding farms that are being developed. We’ll arrive at Nuo Nuo’s main residence very easily.”

“I and Ming Ya have personally experienced it before, and it’s very safe, so please rest assured,” Ling Jue added with a smile.

However, this so-called cable car was only connected by a thin line.

How could it bear the weight of so many people?

Rationally, they all knew that Ming Ya and Ling Jue wouldn’t do anything reckless, but in reality, everyone remained standing where they were, hesitating to move forward.

“I find this cable car quite interesting. If it’s adjusted to transparent mode, even females and sub-beasts can experience the feeling of flying in the sky. I won’t stand on ceremony with everyone; I’ll board first.”

With a graceful sway of her skirt, the city lord’s wife walked up elegantly and took a seat in the first car.

Using this as a breakthrough, the noblewomen and teachers from the academy looked at each other and followed suit, entering the cable car.

With the elders taking the lead, the timid students gained confidence and entered the carriages in groups of two or three, filled with apprehensive curiosity.

Ming Ya and Ling Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

“You know these people would be afraid, so why did you dare to choose such a reception method?” An Jue stood at the edge of the cliff, quietly watching the situation below and inquired.

“You saw it yourself, isn’t Lady City Lord there?” Ye Ze smiled faintly, “Besides, a slight fear, intense curiosity, combined with a novel project, will leave a deep impression on them. When they return, they can better promote us.”

Since confirming the little snake sub-beast’s identity, An Jue not only had the admiration of a young junior for Ye Ze but also unconsciously added a lot of assessment and scrutiny.

Ye Ze noticed this to some extent but didn’t see it as a problem.

He was delighted to see the high-level attention given to the little snake sub-beast by the Dragon Clan.

He was also happy to demonstrate to An Jue his ability to take care of the little snake sub-beast.

The little snake sub-beast nervously awaited the arrival of his friends. Hearing their discussion, he tilted his head in confusion: Can scaring people also be considered a form of promotion? It all feels so strange.

Ye Ze patted the little snake sub-beast’s head, pushing aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Looking at An Jue, he smiled with a meaningful glance, “If we don’t show off good things, how can we attract greedy mice?”

The groundhog: “???”

“Not talking about you,” Ye Ze chuckled and tossed it a spirit fruit, “Don’t always assume the worst in everything; it’ll make people suspect your motives.”

“Squeak!” The groundhog angrily gnashed its teeth at him. Its little paws were honest enough as it hugged the delicious fruit and hid it in its belly. It turned its back to him, gnawing its teeth loudly.

The horned deer walked up to the little snake sub-beast and rubbed against him, looking aggrieved, “Moo~.”

“Ying!” The little whale rushed forward with a water balloon, causing ripples in the surrounding water. It flew around the little snake sub-beast.

“Alright, alright, everyone has snacks. Don’t fight.” The little snake sub-beast gently patted the horned deer’s forehead and poked the little whale’s belly, handing each of them their favorite spirit fruit.

“Ah! Ah!” The big penguin flapped its wings anxiously, opening its mouth wide and calling out.

“Of course, Big Black also has some.” The little snake sub-beast cupped the big penguin’s face with both hands, rubbing its cheeks. He fed the big penguin a string of small fruits.

Worried that some of the guests might have an extreme fear of heights, Ye Ze slightly increased the speed of the cable car. It would take about five or six minutes for the entire sightseeing cable car to transport people up, which was enough for the guests to see some wonders. But for a more detailed observation, that would come later.

Ye Ze smiled like a fox, but did not neglect any of the necessary etiquette. After expressing gratitude to the guests, he and the little snake sub-beast welcomed them into the villa.

The exquisitely decorated hall instantly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Wow, am I seeing things? That huge, tree-shaped carving, isn’t that Southern Ming Jade?”

“Forget about that, just look at this mouse figurine in front of us. Just a bit of powder shaved off it could be worth thousands of beast god coins!”

“Oh my, these are all things we know. Haven’t you noticed that every piece of furniture here is made of materials we’ve never seen before?”

“Now that you mention it… it’s true!”

Everyone became increasingly dumbfounded.

Nuo Nuo’s talents are extraordinary. The industry of Nuo Nuo’s family of beastmen also seems quite remarkable.

Is this what they call a match made in heaven?

—They want it too!

When various little robots served the food from the insulated box onto the table, the group of sub-beasts and females lingered in this paradise-like place.

“These pastries are so beautiful!”

“They’re soft and chewy, sweet but not cloying. I love them. I’ve never seen anywhere selling them before.”

“I heard that Nuo Nuo’s beastmen are doing business. It would be great if they could launch these. I’ll definitely support Nuo Nuo’s business!”

“It’s just you who loves to eat. Clearly, it’s because you’re hungry.”

“The vegetables and meat are delicious too.”

“The texture of this meat is amazing, much smoother than the high-grade magical beast meat. And there’s always something different about it compared to magical beast meat?”

“It’s the energy. I’ve tried a bit before. Nuo Nuo’s lunchbox, prepared by the beastmen at Nuo Nuo’s home, contains it every day. Although the energy of these meats is not as high as the high-grade magical beast meat, it’s gentler. It’s not as tough to eat as magical beast meat, and it doesn’t make your teeth ache after eating too much.”

“Me too! Nuo Nuo is so easy to talk to. I was just curious and took a closer look, and Nuo Nuo introduced me to that magical insulated lunchbox and even invited me to have lunch together. You can store so much food inside!”

“So, Nuo Nuo, since your family is also going to do business, are these things all considered for sale?”

An Nuo’s circle of friends was equally enthusiastic about the variety of delicious food.

In the past, they could still suppress their appetite when dining with the little snake sub-beast, but now they were caught up in fervent discussions. It would be too much to ask them to hold back now.

An Nuo felt his body shudder under the hungry wolf-like gazes. Suddenly trembling, he resisted the urge to curl up into a ball and nodded, “Y-yes.”

The little doll took a deep breath, tied a red ribbon around his forehead, and held up a cheer stick, loudly cheering himself on: Nuo Nuo, you’re going to build a great business with Ye Zi, as a beastman. Don’t back down. Go for it!

“As for meat products, because the scale of breeding livestock takes time to develop, the launch time will be slightly later. However, recently, Ye Zi has already negotiated shops and will first sell various plant ingredients.” The little snake sub-beast introduced everyone in an orderly manner, “As for the insulated lunchbox… um, Ye Zi said that this would be difficult to produce on a large scale, with significant technical challenges. So, it’s temporarily not included in the category of saleable items.”

Talking about this, the little snake sub-beast couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

If they couldn’t meet the customers’ demands, would it…

“Wow! That’s amazing, Nuo Nuo! You must persuade your partner at home to hurry up and launch the ingredients. My wallet can’t wait any longer!”

“Yeah, always mooching off Nuo Nuo’s lunch, we’re all feeling guilty. After today, maybe the whole academy and upper circles will be eager to buy your goods. You guys better stock up.”

The little snake sub-beast’s cheeks turned bright red, too embarrassed to speak. After slowly processing it, and seeing the excited expressions of their friends, they finally understood the benefits of the “monopoly” industry that Ye Zi had mentioned.

Money, lots of money, was about to fly to Nuo Nuo!

The little money-lover lost himself in the flashy but tempting glow of money for three seconds. He raised his hand and slapped his cheeks to snap out of it.

You’re still at work, you can’t get lost in counting money!

The little doll with eyes turned into coins bumped against the wall made of gold coins a few times and happily fainted.

They became a emotionless sales machine for their master.

“Not only are we selling ready-made products!” the little snake sub-beast dramatically teased, “After lunch, everyone will know. We also have a pick-your-own activity on the farm, where you can pick your favorite crops in the fields. Get up close to nature while enjoying on-site tasting and purchasing. Come with peace of mind, play with peace of mind, and enjoy with thoughtfulness!”

The little snake sub-beast smoothly finished the advertising slogan, feeling delighted.

Even his head’s tuft of hair bounced a few times with the proper air of confidence.

No, Nuo Nuo, you’ve already revealed all the answers.

There’s no suspense left.

The crowd wanted to laugh a bit.

But out of support for the little snake sub-beast’s earnest efforts, they held back.

Applause!

The unsuspecting tuft of hair swayed proudly again.
