Chapter 305: Moving, Entering The Factory, Undertaking Takes Off
Seeing his own little brother looking nervous, with the stance of planning to send him fleeing to lie low, Yuan Zhu couldn’t help but sigh: “What kind of person am I in your heart now?”
Yuan Su awkwardly swallowed saliva, pondering: “Bro, the impression you left on me before was never good. Now that you’ve mastered ‘supernatural powers’, based on my understanding of your personality, you’ll naturally become even more unrestrained. If you’re not careful, you’ll definitely go down the path of illegal activities. You don’t come home day or night now, you spend money lavishly, and your personality has become even more flamboyant…”
As he spoke, Yuan Su gathered courage and began to criticize his own big brother’s faults. Starting from childhood, he’d been using that dirty money to buy him food. Although it was somewhat touching, there was more guilt and sense of sin toward his peers.
Even after graduating and entering the factory for a higher-income stable job, his big brother still took on endless side jobs, secretly collecting scandalous information on the factory director, director, and workshop foreman, investigating the factory’s sales channels, preparing for future advancement.
If not for a few months ago, when he suddenly changed his life trajectory and became a [Holy Light System] transcendent. Yuan Su could even guess that his big brother’s next plan was to secretly spread scandals and scandalous information about the workshop foreman, then find an opportunity at night to help the other slip and fall down the stairs, break a leg for three months of recuperation, directly usurp the position to become a senior technician in the workshop.
Then repeat these tactics in a loop, using his connections in the underground circles to step by step pit the workshop director and factory director, accumulate enough chips to invest in the factory…
Sigh! In short, recounting his big brother’s life, it’s all extreme operations and various illegal on-the-verge activities within his capabilities.
Although not committing crimes, but frequently violating rules, wandering in the gray area on the verge of the law.
Now that he has mastered [Holy Light], little brother Yuan Su seriously suspects that in less than three years, his big brother will either be arrested by the [Security Bureau]; or his [Holy Light] will seriously fade to become [Grey Light] or even [Black Light]!
…
After hearing his own younger brother’s accusations, Yuan Zhu was completely numb.
With a ‘I’m so hurt’ sad expression: “You’re really, too much of a misunderstanding! Your prejudice against me is too deep.”
Yuan Su widened his eyes, questioning: “I’m your brother, don’t I understand you?!”
Of course you don’t understand the current me!
Yuan Zhu sighed: “[Holy Light] is a ‘righteous power’ that guides people toward goodness, subtly correcting spirit and thoughts. Look at the quality of my [Holy Light], you should know I’m an upright gentleman! Now, I’m uprightly selling luxury children’s wear for [Boss (Mao Mao King)], diligently earning honest money, saving tuition for you, buying a house for our family. And you! You actually see me like this?”
Yuan Su looked at the ‘pure white holy light’ released from his big brother’s fingertip. Although not strong, it illuminated the entire room, bringing an indescribable warmth and comfort, washing his body and spirit, purifying and disinfecting the minuscule ‘polluted aura’ in the room.
Feeling warmth and satisfaction, Yuan Su’s heart wavered a bit. This feeling was too good at disguise!
He even began to self-reflect, feeling that looking at his big brother through colored glasses wasn’t good? So he added: “Uh, then let me ask one more thing, big bro, how many sets of [luxury children’s wear] have you sold? Earned so much money.”
“This…!”
Yuan Zhu was speechless for a moment. After joining [Happy Home], he’d never sold a single set. But does buying three sets for myself count?
So he quickly made up: “A while ago, I transferred from [Sales Department] to [Logistics Procurement Department]. Successfully secured a raw material production site for the [company], and took charge of production management in that area (Animal Husbandry Village). The money earned bought a house for our family! I came back early today to tell you this good news. Tomorrow, once I get the keys, we can move in!”
“What? New house? Moving! Tomorrow?”
Little brother was stunned at this moment, his brain blank for a moment before coming back to his senses. This only strengthened his belief that his brother hadn’t learned well outside. How could he make money this fast? So much too!
He’d heard big bro before shouting about opening a factory, being the boss, living in a mansion, buying a sports car… but those were struggle goals over 10 or 20 years.
Since big bro quit his job and found new work, even revealing he mastered [Power of Holy Light]. He’d always thought his brother would apply at a church, or intern at the hospital’s [Holy Light Demon Extermination Department], find a decent stable job, slowly save money.
In the end, he bought a house just like that? Moving tomorrow?
Yuan Su questioned suspiciously: “No! How could you buy a house first? Didn’t you say back then, if you saved enough money, you’d first invest in the factory, be the boss, make money with money. Only after saving more would you buy a car, and last buy a house. This order of yours is completely wrong!”
His big brother had changed! No, could he have been [mentally polluted]? Rashly contacting supernatural powers, erosion into the brain, personality drastically changed, starting to indulge in hedonism?
Yuan Zhu lightly clapped: “As expected of my brother, you really understand me! How did you know brother I established a factory?”
“?!?”
Yuan Su was shocked three times in one day. What exactly was big bro doing? Too mysterious, how long since he quit, and now he even has a factory?
“You… you bought the [Lamp Factory] where you used to work?” He knew big bro had some obsession with that factory. He’d already investigated every aspect, so now he finally made his move?
Zhu: “No, I cooperated with a top student from [Rain Courtyard] to set up a [Frog Raising Farm], responsible for providing experimental materials to the academy. If there’s a chance later, I can take you to see it. You must study hard, and when you graduate, come help brother manage the company.”
Yuan Su pointed at himself: “Me, study frog farming? Bro, didn’t you say you’d fund me to go to university?”
“[Rain Courtyard] has a [Frog School], I can pull strings to get you in. Also [School of Dangerous Botany], I can talk to them. If you want to go to [Taixi International University], I have friends there too, can talk to them.”
In Yuan Zhu’s words, he tried hard to prove he hadn’t gone astray, conversing with scholars, associating only with the elite. He even hired a young beautiful female university student (Nie Yin) to work for him. I’m really too successful!
Temporarily calming his half-doubting little brother, the two saw it wasn’t early, so they didn’t make dinner, but went out directly for a good meal, total consumption less than 4 yuan.
Full and satisfied, on the way home. Yuan Su was still dazed, feeling extremely unreal, like living in a dream: “Bro, you really bought a house, and a standalone one with a yard?”
In his vague memory, only when mother was still alive in childhood did they live in such a big house. But soon, he and big bro were driven out, could only live in the slums.
Yuan Zhu: “Too bad no keys, otherwise I could take you to move in now. This house is nice, but the owner left in a hurry, you need to replace bedding, clean up. Also, the front and back yards have been neglected for a while, overgrown with weeds, the pond has no water, handle these yourself. I’ll give you some money, you can hire a [cleaning company], or do it yourself.”
Yuan Su puzzled: “What about you? You’re not handling it?”
Yuan Zhu: “This house is bought for you to live in, I have heavy tasks, may not have time usually. Leave me a bedroom. Those broken furniture, bowls and chopsticks at home, throw away what should be thrown, pack valuable luggage tonight, get ready.”
…
Silent night passed.
Next day early morning, Yuan Zhu hurriedly went out, driving to the suburban [Frog Factory].
After arriving at the construction site’s parking area, he spotted his own [Hundred-Ton King] at a glance. Immediately after, he met the senior student who came early to supervise the [underground laboratory construction progress].
The senior student handed over a bunch of keys, saying: “Keep them safe, these are for the house you selected yesterday. Including yard door, room door, bedrooms inside, and basement keys. Tape on the keys marks clearly which lock each fits.”
“So fast, thanks.”
The senior student added: “I negotiated with the client. The original owner already took important items and some clothes. And entrusted the seller to sell valuable furniture, decorations… Now everything left in the house is yours to dispose of freely. Anything you don’t like or want, handle or sell yourself.”
Yuan Zhu nodded: “Got it.”
The senior student instructed: “Give you one day to handle this property, then come here to start work. Now I’ll show you your [farming facility]. No.1 factory building was completed the day before yesterday, No.2 factory building finishes today. You hurry and start working, profit early, pay off the mortgage early.”
The senior student thought, only with a mortgage and huge debt on his back could Yuan Zhu burst with motivation, work hard, compete fiercely, create revenue, create miracles!
This guy’s performance lately has been a bit lazy.
The two walked along, soon arriving at the completed [No.1 Farming Facility]. From outside it looks like one story, but building height over five meters. Except for a row of windows and roof vents, the entire building is fully enclosed structure.
The senior student explained: “The academy demands ‘experimental grade frogs’ with strict pollution quality control. Not like casually digging a pond, feeding feed on time daily, sprinkling disinfectant powder periodically for cleaning and disinfection ‘meat-grade frog species’ farming. The academy has high requirements for ‘experimental frogs’, so must be fully enclosed rearing.”
The two chatted while entering [No.1 Frog Factory]. Inside the [Frog Factory], whether walls or floors, are poured with [structure] materials, ventilation system specially customized, excellent lighting.
Ahead, rows of square pools raised 40cm above ground, but depth nearly 1.5m, sunk deep underground. The entire No.1 farming facility has 8 such pools, with wide spacing between each group, looking like serious waste of internal space.
Senior student: “These pools are specially for raising frogs, each pool’s breeding quantity can’t exceed 100. Need to observe frog health anytime, later add matching instruments, adjust potions to maintain ‘pool water’ quality. Frequently clean breeding pools, disinfect with ‘holy ash’. Also their feed rations must add [Holy Ash] and specified agents.”
“Nie Yin is very familiar with these, just hand to her. You can now in the room, release a few rounds of [Holy Light], properly clean and purify the environment. This is your strength, perfectly suited saves a lot of money. Otherwise hiring a [Holy Cultivator] costs a fortune. And must hire once every month.”
The senior student introduced precautions while taking Yuan Zhu on a tour. Soon, they finished touring the nearly completed No.2 farming facility, internal structure same as No.1.
Continuing forward, Yuan Zhu toured the also completed [No.1 Small Greenhouse]. The senior student already arranged professional teams to gradually move in pots and soil for planting [dangerous plants], pre-adjusting environment, temperature, humidity according to plant habits…
In a few more days, it’ll probably be planted with [supernatural plants]. This means the little girl will also come here to work, help senior student plant ‘polluted plants’ from [Eclosion World].
Finally glancing at the [underground deep pit] still far from completion, he drove the [Hundred-Ton King] back to Running.
…
Just happening to be weekend today, when Yuan Zhu got home, his brother was obediently waiting at home, having prepared important luggage to take early.
Hearing the call from downstairs, he hurriedly carried packages one by one rushing down to the first floor, then was shocked by the massive [Hundred-Ton King].
Carrying packages, circling the ground. Yuan Su then looked up, seeing his big brother in the driver’s cab, then weakly asked: “Bro? What is this…?”
“Moving truck, what are you standing for, hurry load the luggage. Let’s finish in one trip, I have other things.”
The brothers spent 1 hour moving, then another 20 minutes unloading.
Then Yuan Zhu floored it, driving the truck toward the [haunted house], preparing to take little secretary Nie Yin together to [Rain Courtyard] for goods (frog seedlings).
Behind, only left his brother holding a bunch of keys, feet surrounded by pots, pans, bedding packages, dazed in the new house’s front yard.
Such a big house, such a big yard, from now on just him living alone?
Yuan Su left all alone, heart had some joy and happiness, but inexplicably some panic, pressure doubled. Alone, even a bit scared to live in such a big house, couldn’t help muttering: “Kinda panicking…”
