Chapter 71: The Tibetan Mastiff Goes Mad

While the house was being repaired, Village Chief Yao learned from somewhere that Zhou Yu had made money from growing flowers. He also came to the yard to look at those Jade Dews and asked Zhou Yu some questions about them.

Hearing Village Chief Yao’s questions, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but feel moved. This village chief was truly thinking wholeheartedly about the village’s development and wanted to lead the whole village to prosperity and a moderately well-off life.

However, he told Village Chief Yao that these Jade Dews could not be grown on a large scale and died very easily. Without the right skills, it was absolutely impossible to keep them alive for long. Moreover, to get a huge profit, it would take at least two years or more. The ones he was raising were also taken from someone else, and he was just raising them for a while before selling them.

After getting Zhou Yu’s answer, Village Chief Yao felt a bit disappointed. These Jade Dews were really too beautiful. It was just a pity they couldn’t be farmed on a large scale. The villagers were good at growing crops, but they probably couldn’t handle these delicate flowers and plants. He had already prepared himself for this possibility before coming.

While the house was being repaired, Zhou Yu stayed in the Old Family House the whole time, watching the workers do their job. The Main Spirit Gathering Array held too many secrets. Even if someone accidentally discovered it, it might not cause serious consequences, but he didn’t dare to be even the slightest bit careless.

At noon two days later, the house was completely repaired. The courtyard gate was also widened enough for a car to pass through. The whole house no longer looked as shabby as before and finally had the appearance of a home.

Zhou Yu directly paid the full amount for the work, which totaled over six thousand yuan including materials. Wang Fugui had stubbornly bargained down the price by nearly five or six hundred yuan.

After the workers left, he drove his car into the yard, then immediately closed the main gate and lifted the cover that had been over the Main Spirit Gathering Array for two days.

In those two days, the various plants inside the Main Spirit Gathering Array had grown as usual and were not affected by being covered.

The opaque shade cloth looked like it had no gaps, but Spiritual Energy could still pass through the tiny, microscopic spaces.

Besides, aside from the Spiritual Energy, the Foundation Stones of the Spirit Gathering Array itself were also exerting a powerful effect.

The day the house was finished was the fourth day after the last harvest of Immortal Flavor Fruits. After growing for three days, this batch of Immortal Flavor Fruits ripened again.

Looking at these ripe fruits, Zhou Yu’s face was full of smiles. He then got busy, picking all the small fruits from the trees and placing them in the yard to dry.

During the house repairs, he also gave Li Guomin a jar of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder every day. By today, he only had two jars left.

After this batch of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder dried and was ground into powder, he planned to go to Jing City to deliver it to Qi Jinxuan. He would also take the opportunity to mail two variegated Jade Dews to the United States. He had received a call from Qi Jinxuan these past two days, urging him to hurry up and deliver the next batch of three jars of seasoning.

Needless to say, Zhou Yu knew that the dishes made with Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder were loved by others, especially by some high-end people. Some people ate for the prestige, others for the taste.

At the same time, there was also Chen Zilong’s overseas call urging for goods. He said his classmates were waiting for the next batch of Jade Dews with their hearts almost broken. From the phone call, Zhou Yu learned that the two people who had won the bid for the Jade Dews had become famous in their school’s succulent plants circle thanks to the beautiful Jade Dews they each got.

After spreading all the Immortal Flavor Fruits evenly in the yard, Zhou Yu rested for a while. Then he took out the four pieces of Mutton Fat White Jade from his bag.

These cost 380,000 yuan to buy. It was really heartbreaking. However, compared to the Spirit Stabilizing Liquid, which couldn’t be obtained again for now, the liquid was even more precious.

Zhou Yu dug four small pits in an empty spot at a certain distance from the Shanzhai No. 2 Array. He placed the Jade Stones covered with patterns inside, adjusted their positions, and then took out the small knife again. This time, he didn’t even bite it; he directly made a cut on his finger.

Squeezing out a drop of blood, he uttered a seemingly lofty-sounding phrase just like before.

The blood dripped into the soil and disappeared much faster than it did with the Shanzhai No. 2 Array. Thus, the Shanzhai No. 3 Array was successfully set up.

Zhou Yu stayed inside the No. 3 Array for a while to feel it, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. Indeed, there was a bit more Spiritual Energy than in the No. 2 Array.

However, this amount of Spiritual Energy probably still didn’t reach one-tenth of that in the Main Spirit Gathering Array. The immortal qi drifting inside the Low-Grade Immortal Stone was something modern Jade Stones couldn’t compare to.

After setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhou Yu began to turn the soil. Then he moved some fully-grown Jade Dews from the Main Spirit Gathering Array, mostly Pan Deng and Hei Ji. As for Bai She Zhuan and Amber Jade Dew, only the ones planted initially had grown into full plants. The propagated ones were still growing.

Looking at the empty space in the Main Spirit Gathering Array, he thought for a moment but didn’t continue propagating. Judging by the situation now, it was almost time for the next Radio activation. It might bring other types of seeds. He’d leave it empty for now.

After eating a bunch of Grapes, around 4 p.m., he locked the main gate and headed to the Beach with Huzi.

During the two days of house repairs, Huzi also ran to the Guomin Food Stall every afternoon around 4 o’clock to go surfing with Wang Fugui. Now, not only had Huzi become a star of Taoyuan Village, but Wang Fugui had too. Being able to surf with the Divine Dog every day made many people envious.

These days of surfing, what Huzi brought wasn’t just that five-thousand-yuan salary. The daily donations in the Divine Dog nutrition box were at least a few hundred yuan. As for taking photos together, for Huzi’s sake, Zhou Yu set a rule of a maximum of twenty photos per day.

With the salary included, Huzi could earn nearly twenty thousand yuan a month at minimum. This made Zhou Yu sigh again. When a dog can surf, nobody can really stop it.

And the benefits Huzi brought to Taoyuan Village far exceeded that five-thousand-yuan salary. Tourists were increasing day by day, making the shop owners along the seaside beach very happy, grinning from ear to ear every day.

When he arrived at Li Guomin’s food stall, Zhou Yu, as usual, saw Wang Fugui waiting there. Ever since this guy took on the task of taking Huzi surfing, he could be said to arrive at the beach on time every single day without fail. He was practically a model worker.

“Haha, Brother Universe, I guessed that after you finished tidying up the house today, you’d personally bring Huzi,” Wang Fugui said happily with a laugh when he saw Zhou Yu. Taking Huzi surfing let him enjoy attention he usually couldn’t get.

“Of course I had to come. Need to see if you’ve been bullying Huzi these past two days,” Zhou Yu said, deliberately raising his tone.

Wang Fugui widened his eyes and looked at Huzi. “Me bully him? Every time we surf, he’s the one bullying me!” Upon hearing Wang Fugui’s words, Huzi next to him very cooperatively barked twice.

“See? Huzi is still mocking me now. From childhood, I’ve always competed with you and never won. Now I can’t even beat your dog,” Wang Fugui said, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Seeing Wang Fugui’s expression, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter. It was true; this Gouwa had played with him since they were little and never won.

While waiting for five o’clock to arrive, he and Gouwa sat outside, watching the scenery on the beach. At that moment, he overheard passing tourists discussing, “That guy actually wanted to bring a Tibetan Mastiff onto the beach. He must have nothing better to do. Luckily, the management staff stopped him.”

“Yeah, other places might be okay, but there are so many people on this beach. What if the Tibetan Mastiff bites someone?”

Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile. Trying to bring a Tibetan Mastiff onto the beach? That was simply impossible. There were management staff guarding the beach entrance. Vehicles, including some large pets, were not allowed in.

A few minutes later, just before five o’clock, as Wang Fugui was about to go surfing with Huzi, suddenly, at the beach entrance, many people started running towards them. “A Tibetan Mastiff has gone mad! Run, everyone!”

Upon hearing the shouts, many people began to panic. Not just outside the beach, but even on the beach itself, people started running out. After all, a Tibetan Mastiff wasn’t like an ordinary dog. Even a light bite could take a chunk of flesh.

From the flow of people, they could see some shopkeepers from the entrance area rushing over with tools.

Zhou Yu’s expression changed, and he stood up. After thinking for a moment, he patted Huzi’s head. “Come on, Huzi, let’s go take a look. Gouwa, you wait for us at the food stall first.”

“Wait for you? How is that possible? I’m going too. It’s just a Tibetan Mastiff. I don’t think it can necessarily beat Huzi,” Wang Fugui said, not caring at all.

“You’ll stay if I tell you to stay,” Zhou Yu said coldly. Then he headed towards the entrance with Huzi. A mad Tibetan Mastiff could kill people. Even though Huzi had eaten the Spirit Beast Pill, it wasn’t certain if he was a match. He planned to try first. If it didn’t work, he wouldn’t let Huzi take the risk.
