219 Wonderful Time with a Fine Scenery, but Where were the Flowers Looking Like Snow (1/2)
”Wei Hai, seems you are no longer sick. Starting to think of money again?' said Wang Mingbao with a smile. He knew clearly that Wang Yao preferred a peaceful lifestyle to a busy and noisy lifestyle. It wouldn't be possible to have a hotel on Nanshan hill.
”No money could buy the peaceful lifestyle here,” said Li Maoshuang.
”Well, just ignore me. I was kidding,” said Wei Hai immediately.
”So how long is your contract for Nanshan hill?” asked Li Maoshuang.
”Twenty years,” said Wang Yao.
”Twenty years is too short,” said Li Maoshuang.
”I don't think so,” said Wang Yao with a smile.
Without poker, Mahjong, coffee, wine, or music, the four of them just spent the whole afternoon peacefully on the hill.
It started to get dark outside. The red clouds in the sky looked very pretty.
”Aye, I don't want to leave,” said Li Maoshuang.
”Then stay here,” said Wang Yao with a smile.
”To be honest, your cottage is too small. There are only two rooms here. Will you consider expanding it a bit?” asked Li Maoshuang.
”Okay, I'll consider it,” said Wang Yao.
It was not an easy task to expand the cottage. The cottage had to be compatible with the hill and the battle array.
”Shall we leave now? We have to leave sooner or later,” said Li Maoshuang.
”You guys can stay for dinner,” said Wang Yao.
”No, thanks. I have to go home,” said Li Maoshuang.
Wang Yao's three friends stayed on the hill for nearly three hours. When they left the cottage, they felt much more comfortable than when they had just arrived. When they came out of the spirit gathering battle array, they felt the obvious changes around them.
The wind was still blowing on the hill, but it was much warmer than the wind around Wang Yao's cottage.
”Strange, why did it become so hot?” said Wei Hai.
”Maybe it is because there are more trees on the hill,” said Li Maoshuang.
”When I looked at those trees around the cottage just now, I felt so dizzy; it was as if those trees were moving,” said Wei Hai.
”I had the same feeling,” said Li Maoshuang.
Both Wei Hai and Li Maoshuang set their eyes on Wang Mingbao who had grown up with Wang Yao after all.
”You will get used to it,” said Wang Mingbao.
When he first looked at those trees, he also felt dizzy. So he asked Wang Yao about it. Wang Yao told him that the trees were planted according to certain rules which would make people hallucinate. The longer one stared at the trees, the dizzier they would feel.
The three of them walked down the hill while chatting. Then they left in each of their cars.
Wang Yao tidied up the cottage before leaving.
The herbs brought by Li Maoshuang were still in the front yard. His parents hadn't come home yet. Wang Yao had a close look at the herbs; then he waved his hand to store part of the herbs in the system. He waved his hand several times until half of the herbs had gone.
”Where did all those herbs go?” Zhang Xiuying noticed something odd when she had arrived home.
”I've put them elsewhere,” said Wang Yao.
”Where are your friends? Why not stay for dinner?” asked Zhang Xiuying.
”They've got things to do in the evening,” said Wang Yao.
He had dinner with his parents; they had a good time together.
After Wang Yao had returned to Nanshan hill, he took out the herbs he put inside the system earlier, then started to sell those herbs to the medicine shop.
The quality of those herbs was pretty good as Wang Yao had them checked. However, some of the herbs couldn't be exchanged into bonus points at all. After a whole evening's work, Wang Yao could only get a couple dozens of bonus points, but he had paid tens of thousands of yuan for those herbs.
The quality of these herbs was even lower than the herbs planted in Wang Yao's herbal field.
These herbs are not good enough.
Actually, Wang Yao could use a different way to get bonus points. He could sell a Prolongation pill to get enough bonus points to buy everlasting grass and lingjishan for brewing Muscle Revitalization powder. But it was not considered a good deal.
I still have half of the herbs left. It should be just enough to get some bonus points.
A truck of wild herbs couldn't be exchanged for one single licorice root.
Wang Yao was reading Taoism scriptures under the light.
In an office in Lianshan town center, a middle-aged man was also reading a book.
”Would you like to take a break?” said a woman gently. She was also in the office. She looked at her husband with concern and care in her eyes.
”I'm almost done,” said the middle-aged man.
He was Tian Yuantu. He had stayed in his office up until 10 pm every day for a month.
In fact, he didn't need to work so hard for such a big company. He could leave things to his employees. Tian Yuantu had made up his mind. He decided to retire after finishing this project. He wanted to enjoy life with his family.
I just need to hold on for a bit longer.
He had made more than enough money to spend for the rest of his life.
Talking about money, how much money was enough?
Super rich people like Li Jiacheng and Bill Gates—were they really happier than ordinary people? Not necessarily. They must have their own worries and concerns. The only difference was that their concerns were different from the ordinary people's, and they had access to a much richer materialistic life.
People just needed to try to be optimistic sometimes.
What is going on?!
Tian Yuantu suddenly felt dizzy.
He gently rubbed his eyes and massaged his temples. He closed the reading material in his hands after feeling better.
”Let's go home,” said Tian Yuantu to his wife.
He held onto the desk to stand up.
Strange, why do I feel so weak? Tian Yuantu was panicking.
