Chapter 312: Chapter 310 Preparing the New Book

He Xinchun ultimately couldn’t slip away. Who knows which canine Beastification had recognized the scent the moment the lid was lifted.

"It’s roast duck!"

"The roast duck from Little River Live!"

By the time he had finished saying that, He Xinchun was already on the run with the box, but his speed was significantly slower after just having gone through gravity training.

He was caught up to by his classmates in the blink of an eye.

He managed to grab only one duck leg from the roast duck.

With the duck leg in hand, He Xinchun immediately posted on Star Blog.

Star Network, Star Blog.

He Xinchun: If heaven gave me another chance, I would definitely sneak away with the delivery and never open the box.

Following was a photo of him eating the duck leg, eyes filled with enjoyment yet also holding back searing, regretful tears.

After posting on Star Blog, He Xinchun received a call from his brother right away.

"Kid, you got roast duck and didn’t think to save me a bite!"

"Bro... there’s only the skeleton left."

"Ah... bring it back anyway."

...

The next recipient was Shu Zhuo of Star Reading.

He was at the company when a subordinate delivered a parcel to him. He casually told the subordinate to set it aside on a nearby table and continued with his work.

After wrapping up his tasks and getting ready to stretch his legs, Shu Zhuo, out of boredom, opened the parcel to find a fresh-keeping box.

Upon opening it, there was a note on top:

"For Text Mover, delivering a roast duck to the boss."

"Hm? Text Mover?"

Just the name alone grabbed Shu Zhuo’s full attention.

He didn’t even recall how many times he had read Heroic Legend of the Condor.

Immortal Slaying was of course great, but Bi Yao was just too heartbreaking. He couldn’t bear to read it again, too painful.

But since Text Mover finished writing Heroic Legend of the Condor, there had been a long time without any news of a new book being written.

Shu Zhuo, lost in thought, opened the fresh-keeping box. As he did so, he remembered something.

Text Mover had a good relationship with Little River Live.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Shu Zhuo was truly happy as he laughed; he actually had a roast duck.

Just yesterday, in their circle’s group chat, many people were still discussing it.

Everyone wanted to get a roast duck to eat, but now Little River Live was under the protection of the Royal Family, so no one dared to be too greedy.

Who could have imagined that, thanks to Text Mover, he would have one?

Half of the roast duck was devoured by Shu Zhuo alone, and he saved the other half to give to his school principal father.

After finishing the duck, Shu Zhuo had only one thought: Text Mover must be kept!

...

Legion 777, Xiong Da.

Nian Shutong didn’t have Xiong Da’s exact address, so she mailed the roast duck to the legion where Xiong Da was stationed.

The parcel was addressed to the First Commander, Xiong Da.

The soldier who received the parcel obviously didn’t dare to delay and intended to deliver it to Xiong Da right away.

But parcels entering the legion had to be inspected, even those for Xiong Da.

So when the parcel was opened at the inspection station, a group of people stared at it for a long time before finally closing the box with difficulty.

When the parcel was delivered to the First Commander, Xiong Da’s office, the delivering soldier could hardly take his eyes off it.

This puzzled Xiong Da, who was in the middle of office work.

What’s going on? Could it be that they can’t contain their admiration for me?

Xiong Da hadn’t even had the chance to unpack his parcel when the second and third commanders of the Legion came together.

The two men rambled on for quite a while, leaving Xiong Da clueless as to why they were there.

"Xiong Da, that’s not very nice of you. Are you trying to hog it all for yourself?"

"That’s right, we’re brothers from the same trench. You can’t disregard the bonds of brotherhood."

Xiong Da was even more bewildered. What on earth?

What exactly are you two talking about?

When all three finally got on the same page, Xiong Da also opened the sealed container.

Inside was a note from Nian Shutong expressing thanks for the cooperation with the Legion and sending a roasted duck as a token of appreciation.

A single roasted duck inspired Xiong Da to get creative.

He divided the duck into several portions and staged a martial contest.

The winner would earn the right to feast on the roasted duck.

As far as motivating warriors with a single roasted duck goes,

Xiong Da could tell you it was even more effective than the promise of Crystal Stones.

After all, there’s always a chance to get Crystal Stones, but Little River Live’s roasted ducks were truly rare.

Nian Shutong could never have dreamt that her roasted duck would play such a significant role.

Meanwhile, the small wooden house was quiet, resting.

Nian Shutong, holding her dog statue, was diligently cultivating, hoping to unlock this little dog soon.

The following day, after breakfast, Nian Shutong checked the sweet potato starch, which still required settling. She decided to use the time to prepare a noodle workshop.

Several large pots would be needed for boiling the noodles, as well as a place to dry them.

After marking off the land, she handed off the construction tasks to Wang Fu.

Having just returned from one errand, Nian Shutong saw Ha Ha approaching quickly, telling her, "Good person, Ha Ha’s hillside is cleared now."

The hillside being cleared meant that Nian Shutong could start planting peach trees.

She had selected mature peach trees from Xiao Ba, which could bloom and bear fruit that year.

Without wasting any time, she took Ha Ha and a few others to plant the peach trees.

As Nian Shutong brought out the trees, she noticed the floral buds on them.

Great, she could produce a batch of peach blossom wine.

Nian Shutong really loved alcohol, thinking of winemaking whenever she saw grains or peach blossoms.

Most importantly, her winemaking skills were truly top-notch.

Over on the hillside, everyone began planting trees.

The newly planted trees needed watering.

Since the water wheel couldn’t reach up there, Rubble came up with a water-suction machine, connected hoses, and began watering the trees.

The entire hillside was planted with more than five hundred peach trees. One could imagine the beauty when the peach blossoms would be in full bloom.

And this beauty would last only for a few days.

She felt a bit excited thinking about it.

After the peach trees were planted, Nian Shutong had people clear a large flat area on the already cultivated land and begin digging trenches.

Vineyard trenches.

The grapevines would be planted in trenches that weren’t very deep, and frames would be constructed above them. Even underneath the grapevine frames, the space wouldn’t go to waste—they could plant some vegetables there.

After arranging for the two types of fruit, Nian Shutong returned to the small wooden house.

Having taken only a few steps, Daodao called out to her.

"Master, Daodao is ready to contact the owner of Star Reading."

"Okay, you can decide on your own. Is the new book ready?"

"It’s ready, Daodao just has to move it over, no need to rack any brains."

"Hmm? Daodao, do you have a brain?"

Xiao Ba, the seedling, tilted his body with a slender arm touching the top of the seed, confused.

"Daodao has consciousness, of course, there’s a brain!"
