Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 766 740: Stirring Up a Hornet's Nest

"Thank you, senior!" Xie Chenyuan received the key with both hands and flew on his sword straight towards the stone gate.

Indeed, as a light flashed, it revealed a world within.

With joy in his heart, he stepped inside, and the stone gate slowly closed, the light in the crack disappearing as if it had never opened.

After a while, the stone gate opened again, and Xie Chenyuan, beaming with excitent, bowed in gratitude and returned the key.

The other party didn't proactively ntion what inheritance was accepted, and Jiang Yuan had no idle thoughts to pry. The two seamlessly exchanged, and then he handed the key to Leng Yutang.

"Huh? I also get a share?! Thank you, thank you, sir!" Although he didn't know what the inheritance from the Kuanglang Sect was, he could surmise from Xie Chenyuan's jubilant expression that it was certainly a great fortune.

Leng Yutang's hands trembled with excitent, his mind filled with one thought—it's so blessed to follow Mr. Jiang!

Just helping out a little with so easy tasks, and there are gifts and opportunities for inheritance. For a mont, he almost wanted to reveal his true form and ask if they needed a gatekeeping bear.

However, considering his realm and combat strength, Leng Yutang felt a chill in his heart and cald down. With his minor skills, how could he expect to be a gatekeeper? That's just daydreaming!

Once he ca out, the chirping little cloud sparrow and Yun Ying each went in to shear so wool.

It was already five in the morning, and dawn was breaking.

Jiang Yuan put away the key and told everyone to rest, eagerly opening the interface to start one of the senior farming ga player's favorite activities—renovating the new manor!

Contrasted with the reduced courtyard, the newly expanded plots made the small courtyard appear even more quaint and compact.

Previously, there was no space, so everything was cramped together. With such a large yard now, it's natural to plan different functional areas for easier managent.

Clicking here and there, all the workshops were packed into the storage bag, then dragged out one by one to be relocated to the "industrial zone" at the foot of the mountain.

Using stone to make bluestone slabs, he paved roads here and there;

Gold coins clinked and the balance rapidly decreased as regular fruit trees available in the system mall got planted in orchards on the barren hills.

Previously, the small courtyard had limited space, only allowing urgent farmlands to occupy the area, similar to ordinary fruit trees in the modern world, but had no place to be planted.

Now there were plenty of hills for tree planting, with the spirit fruit trees in the system mall being limited in quantity, planting different zones allowed for a variety of fruit trees like apples, pears, oranges, and bayberries.

Then, the entire spirit fruit garden was moved to the hill, and finally, he chose a feng shui treasure land to plant the system-rewarded random special plant on the spirit stone vein mountain.

This thing was a golden glittering seed; digging a hole with a hoe and burying it revealed it would take three days to sprout. Without sprouting, it's unknown what species was chosen, seeming quite mysterious.

The poultry and livestock shed were placed between the industrial and agricultural zones, separated by bluestone roads, with a slaughterhouse conveniently placed at the back.

Level two, three, four, and five spirit fields, along with crops and sprinklers, were all moved over, leaving large fields to be cultivated into ordinary farmland.

However, even using all current automatic sprinklers, most farmlands still couldn't be watered. Relying solely on the little white dragon to spray water was overly troubleso.

"It's better to consu so special materials to make sprayers that don't increase experience, and slowly replace them with system products later." Jiang Yuan opened the workbench and found the corresponding blueprint.

This was the reward item for first building the poultry and livestock shed, requiring special materials to make. It could water at six in the morning but didn't provide farming experience for the effort.

Given the small amount of land back then, farming skills needed upgrading, and considering no stock of special materials, he couldn't afford to make them. When having ti, he watered personally, otherwise, he'd let the little white dragon help. Now, as a major landowner, he didn't lack these special materials.

Click, click, click, a series of creations resulted in a simple sprinkler for every newly plowed field.

Unlike the little cloud sprayer, it occupied a grid in the field's center, with a round perforated ball on top capable of spraying water.

By the ti all the wheat was planted in the new fields, it was almost precisely six in the morning.

Following the system prompt, as the bright sunlight from Wilderness Ascension shone down, those newly set sprinklers started together, irrigating the farmland from the balls; the little cloud floated in the air, raining down, evenly spreading dew over the covered area.

As light rain passed and a rainbow erged, Jiang Yuan sipped so spirit tea, refilling his physical strength bar, unable to afford any more landscaping, he hurriedly stepped into the cave behind the house.

Standing at the center of the Ancient Teleportation Array, he consud ten thousand spirit stones to open the direct teleportation array to Trapped Snake Island.

"Duang～"

When he teleported to Trapped Snake Island, he happened to hear the island's final morning bell prompt for Wilderness Ascension. Correspondingly, every Wilderness Descent would prompt with an evening drum.

Facing the morning light, Jiang Yuan controlled his sword to fly straight towards the Xinhua rchant Firm.

Yesterday morning, he agreed with the chief clerk to return today, and he didn't want to break his promise without reason.

"Oh, you actually ca, as I ntioned..." The chief clerk's previously gloomy face brightened instantly upon seeing him, quietly complaining, "Today, there are only twelve crates of bulk goods, low volu, yet the shopkeeper is in a hurry.

Early in the morning, where could I find a cal driver willing to do a small task like this? Luckily you're here! A friend with such skills who values integrity is sure to prosper in business with ti!"

Just as the words faded, intense argunts echoed from within the rchant firm. The chief clerk waved to indicate it had nothing to do with them, like yesterday, once they delivered to the dock, they'd get paid.

After going inside and collecting the goods, they should leave quickly, without looking around. Yesterday's drunkard caused a commotion, as if stirring up a hornet's nest, truly unfortunate."

Jiang Yuan: ...

It seems like closure is near!

I'm just not sure how much rent would be for such a large trading firm on Trapped Snake Island. If I can take it over and start a fire stone specialty shop, Hou Ze could safely and comfortably conduct his fire stone business...

Thinking this, he followed the other party into the trading firm, only to be greeted by the shouting and cursing of a middle-aged man, followed by the sounds of things being smashed.

The outer cabinet, the accountant, and the small clerks didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The shop was clearly empty of custors, yet all pretended to be busy, for fear of being caught and scolded.

"It seems the external rumors were true, the owner got kicked out by Silver Valley!"

"Are you talking about the rumor of fire stones being sold on Moon Snail Mountain?"

"Without fire stone sales, isn't this Xinhua Trading Firm dood?"

"Hush! It's enough that everyone knows. We should quickly find another employer. Earlier, an old custor ca demanding fire stones and asked for a refund of 830,000 Immortal Jade; even made a fuss with the town official!"

"No wonder there's smashing and cursing again, so what happened next?"

"How would I know? Anyway, everyone should plan ahead to avoid being caught off guard..."

.....

While Jiang Yuan was packing goods, he overheard so clerks whispering behind the shelves.

Today, he didn't encounter any troubleso custors. Judging from them, there were several disturbances late last night. At this mont, Head Shopkeeper and also the trading firm's owner, Li Dehai, was venting his anger by smashing things in his shop.

After packing the goods and exiting through the back door, he imdiately spotted Hou Ze squatting under the corridor.

"Squeak squeak!"

The little golden monkey also spotted him and hurriedly gave a quiet warning.

Hou Ze looked up to see Mr. Jiang walking with the head clerk of the trading firm, whispering about sothing. Afraid of jeopardizing Mr. Jiang's business, he quickly bowed his head pretending to write and draw.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Mind your business less, Mr. Jiang is so busy. If he can find ti to co to Trapped Snake Island, he must have important matters to attend to. Our main task now is surveillance."

He chuckled, "The ones making trouble at the trading firm now are old custors doing fire stone business. We're here to pick up deals seamlessly.

Once the Teleportation Array is repaired, custom cargo boxes are ready, and there is enough stock in Sand Hill City, approach these old custors for sure sales!"

The little golden monkey squeaked twice, lying on his head as a furry hat, keeping an eye on the trading firm's movents at the sa ti.

The sounds of smashing gradually stopped inside; Hou Ze guessed that Head Shopkeeper Li Dehai might have vented enough.

Actually, the anger in his heart hadn't been fully vented. Instead, looking at the shattered items all over the ground, he suddenly felt a little distressed; these were bought with money!

"When down on your luck, even cold water chokes you." Li Dehai intended to slap the table hard, but fearing damage to the expensive table, he ended up clenching his fist and sighing.

Bla that old pig demon yesterday!

Damn, drunk, he passed by the trading firm and started causing trouble out of nowhere. A few days ago, I had just cald him down with sweet words, and now he's ssed it all up.

Later, sohow, news suddenly ca late at night that there were already fire stones circulating in the market from Moon Snail Mountain.

Though the quantity wasn't much, the Ruan family's Unrestrained Trading Firm suddenly bood, and even rchants from Trapped Snake Island went over to discuss cooperation.

How could that be possible? Silver Valley doesn't have spare fire stones, where did the surna Ruan get them from?

Li Dehai's mind was filled with problems, those old custors who paid in advance didn't care about that, they all sward to hold him accountable.

The commotion last night was so intense, the town official personally intervened, demanding a solution within three days.

Either distribute the promised fire stones to the clients, even a smaller quantity would do; or start refunding them, apologizing to each at their doorstep.

Otherwise, the town official would report to the Demon Realm Alliance, directly sealing the trading firm and the Li family's assets.

If liquidating the assets isn't enough, the entire family, young and old, would be imprisoned and required to do hard labor to repay the debt!

"Moon Snail Mountain..." With his eyebrows on fire, an enraged Li Dehai forced himself to calm down and analyze seriously, "Ruan Yanluo has always been in charge of the fire stone business, that woman is not easy to deal with. If she truly has fire stones to sell... could she have connected with Silver Valley?"

As his thoughts reached this point, he suddenly shivered!

Shi Kesong, that fellow, is a lustful ghost, while Ruan Yanluo is beautiful and carries exotic charm. If she really wanted to steal the Xinhua Trading Firm's business, seeking out Silver Valley in secret and connecting with Shi Kesong, is entirely possible!

"No, I must find them for an explanation!" The more Li Dehai thought, the more he felt conned, and angrily took out a premium Teleportation Talisman, heading straight for Silver Valley.

The sun above the Wilderness shone brightly on the silent Silver Valley.

This city, built in a snowy white valley, had already fallen into slumber. Besides the patrolling guards and the faintly glowing protective Array, Li Dehai couldn't see a single citizen in the city.

"Clang clang clang!" He couldn't care about anything else, hurriedly walking to the Shi mansion, knocking on the door knocker.
