The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 881: The Great Era Arrives

Li Qing’s statement elicited strong agreement from Qin Wenjun, "Although these three million weren’t spent solely on this place, they were spent for this place, so, it still should be counted on the camping base. I need to find a way to earn it back."

One second she was pumped, the next second she suddenly became like a deflated ball, "But three million, how can I earn so much money? That place, I’ve planned for about thirty rooms to be built, two hundred a day, full house ..."

As she calculated, Qin Wenjun soon lost track.

"I was just teasing you, Hong Fang Zhenren’s array plate is a good thing. I actually went there for the array plate and our own cultivation. If it was just for building that place for three million, do you think I would be so foolish?" Li Qing said with a laugh, "So, whatever you were originally planning to do, just continue with that. Don’t worry about these issues."

"Right now, the process of the Spiritual Qi Resurgence is accelerating rapidly, and I might enter seclusion for a while. And you all should put in more effort, who knows, in the future, cultivation might become a reality for everyone."

"When cultivation becomes widespread, competition and conflicts will inevitably become more complex; we need absolute strength to protect ourselves."

Although Li Qing’s understanding of the cultivation world wasn’t very deep yet, he had already seen its cruelty.

Such a mighty cultivation world could be obliterated in the blink of an eye in the face of absolute power.’

As the world moves forward, it will inevitably evolve other rules, but the law of the jungle will also surface in society.

Qin Wenjun looked at Li Qing pitifully, "You aren’t just comforting me, are you?"

"I was really just teasing you. Did you not know that ever since the Spiritual Qi Resurgence began, my strength is ridiculed every day? Or why do you think I would consider seclusion?" Li Qing laughed, "So, there’s no need to overcomplicate things. In addition to being busy with this, you also need to devote more energy to cultivation."

"I’m thinking of handing over the restaurant matters to my sister-in-law and Tian Yue’e, and the haunted house stuff to Yu Lan and Wu Xingxing. You coordinate the overall matters, like negotiating with these merchants. Speaking of which, have any been willing to move in yet?"

Qin Wenjun nodded thoughtfully, "I’ve already mentioned this to my sister-in-law before, and their view is to listen to the arrangements of you, the head of the household. I think this arrangement is fine."

"Indeed, some merchants are already willing to move in. A bar and a massage parlor have already been settled to open at the camping base, and there are others, but those are just bits and pieces, with some still undecided."

This somewhat surprised Li Qing, "Are these merchants’ decisions so hasty? Our village’s popularity has only lasted a few days, and they dare to open shops in our village? Why does it feel a bit reckless of them?"

"Because we now have an official endorsement. If it were just an ordinary village that suddenly became popular, how could it be so fast? They would probably wait a month or so, estimate the foot traffic first, and then make this decision," Qin Wenjun said.

"Also, Lü Zong and their high-profile announcement of moving in actually gave those merchants some confidence to take a chance. I’d think the same. A huge company moving into our small place to invest and open a shop proves that this place definitely has potential!"

"This is probably the role of a leading sheep. These last two days I’ve received an extraordinary number of inquiries, half of which are about where Lü Zong’s shop is located and what kind of partnership model it is. It seems Lü Zong was always capable of doing this, and now the news has spread," Qin Wenjun commented.

Hearing what Qin Wenjun said, Li Qing couldn’t help feeling sentimental.

Now, this situation can really be described as ’many hands make light work.’

Especially with Lü Zong, this old fellow, doing things openly and now secretly getting things done as well," Li Qing mentioned.

The Shili Yi area was county officially endorsed, and various tourism activities were carried out over several years, which led to its current commercial environment. Compared to that, Sanhe Village was actually already ahead.

As long as there were no major mishaps next, the likelihood of success was beginning to show.

"Um, may I humbly ask, why am I, someone who faces the daily grind just like everyone else, being left out? Are you seeing me in a different light again?" Zi Ling pouted forcefully, her eyes bulging like a toad’s.

Qin Wenjun laughed, "Haven’t you noticed that Qingzi specifically left Burning Man Valley for someone? That place is quite special, and not everyone can handle it. It’s definitely either Sister Yan or you. But since it’s hardly likely to be Sister Yan, it must be for you."

Zi Ling looked displeasedly at Li Qing, "Is that so?"

Li Qing nodded, an annoyed smile on his face, "I didn’t forget. I still need to warn you about it. That’s the only reason I didn’t mention it just now."

"Consider yourself having a conscience. If you dared forget me today, you’d never touch even my toes again!" Zi Ling glared at Li Qing, and then asked, "Is there anything else you need to warn me about?"

"Be mindful of the spread in Burning Man Valley!" Li Qing said gravely, "That’s a big deal."

"Leaving it to someone else, I really can’t be at ease. The real work can be outsourced, you just need to keep an eye on things."

Zi Ling nodded, her face full of haughty pride as she waved her slim fingers, "Fine, I’ve got it!"

Li Qing couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, that settles it for now. I need to head back for a bit to find a place for a retreat."

There were tasks to be attended to, but he also had to focus on improving his strength.

He certainly did not want to end up in forced seclusion in the mountains for three years.

His master was sometimes joking, but at times he was dead serious.

And when he decided to be serious, there was no room for negotiation.

Just thinking of how fearsome Xuan Chen Zhenren could be when angered made even Li Qing shudder.

Zi Ling stayed at the village office to help Qin Wenjun, while Li Qing went back to his brother’s house alone.

The courtyard was filled only with sunlight and a lazy orange cat that seemed to sleep all day.

Li Qing made a call to Director Jia to discuss strategies for potential incidents that might arise next.

Previously, their conversation had been brief. Besides Director Jia’s worried frowns and sighs, he had nothing concrete to offer.

After a brief discussion over the phone, Li Qing and Director Jia settled on a temporary solution.

Each village would monitor the situation independently and report back to the office promptly, then on to Li Qing.

Li Qing couldn’t be careless about this matter, but he knew too well that dealing with it promptly would be extremely difficult with just his or a few other people’s efforts.
