Chapter 375: Chapter 373: The Later Harvest

Nian Shutong began to analyze the situation for Dou Dou, explaining her intentions.

"Dou Dou, there are few people who farm in the interstellar because there’s a lack of seeds and technology, and everyone thinks it’s very difficult."

"Even if Auntie broadcasts loudly every day, saying it’s not difficult, but simple, they still don’t want to try."

"People are reluctant to step out of their comfort zone, to easily give up their current life just to gamble on an uncertain future."

"So, Auntie is giving away things to them for free, without wasting their time, just to try it out, and if it turns out to be successful."

"They will start to think that it indeed is really that simple."

"At that time, some of them will truly be a portion of those who want to give it a try."

Pointing at the scene of the express delivery across from them, Nian Shutong said to Dou Dou, "Auntie is using these free seedlings as a huge advertising investment, so more people come and spend money on us."

"Give first, then harvest."

Dou Dou sort of understood, but also didn’t quite get it.

"Auntie, is this like Dou Dou giving someone a candy first, but then they give Dou Dou even more candies?"

"Hehe... not wrong," Nian Shutong chuckled as she ruffled Dou Dou’s hair.

"To want to harvest something, you always need to invest something first."

"However, your situation is different; you give because adults always want to look after children, don’t take advantage of their good intentions."

"Wait until you grow up before you start thinking about these matters."

Dou Dou nodded seriously and said to Nian Shutong, "Auntie, Dou Dou understands."

After watching for a while, the young and the elderly left one after another.

Nian Shutong called over Fu Yunhe, and they went onto the Star Network together.

When the two appeared on the Star Network, they walked toward Nian Shutong’s small shop.

Because of the live broadcast, the store had been closed and they were not in a hurry to open it.

Inside the small shop, Nian Shutong said to Fu Yunhe, "I want to renovate the whole shop, opening it up to form one big storefront."

"Oh, right, just leave a space for applying for patents, and knock through the rest."

"I’m going to sell seeds."

"Okay, I’ll go find someone to apply right away, it can be changed very quickly on the Star Network."

Fu Yunhe turned and left, knowing that Nian Shutong was about to make a big move.

It seemed like every time she improved her strength, she would make some moves.

Fu Yunhe’s guess was not wrong, Nian Shutong had reached the phase of Divinity Transformation, close to the SSS-level cultivators in the interstellar.

But in interstellar terms, SSS was already the limit, yet her path to advancement was still long.

Now that her Combat Power had risen, it was time to start developing some things.

The current Nian Shutong was very much aware of being a Planet Master, and she wanted Blue Star to appear openly in front of everyone.

To appear with an invincible presence.

Every step she took now was in line with the expectations of the Royal Family, so the next step was the rise of seed merchants.

The first step was the unlimited sale of sweet potatoes and sugarcane.

Other seeds would be introduced slowly, but not as many.

As for selling sugarcane and sweet potatoes, the main reason was the Nian Family and the Tang Family were enemies, so it was better to deal with them sooner.

Before long, Fu Yunhe came back, bringing several construction plans for Nian Shutong to look over.

"This one here, open up everything, set up shelves like this, so that shoppers can see everything clearly."

"Okay, I will keep this one and make the changes."

"Great, I can trust you to handle it."

Nian Shutong left Fu Yunhe alone in the shop to rest and renovate, while she herself logged out of the Star Network.

Just as she came out, she received a message from the Yan Family.

It turned out that the Yan Family wanted to continue seeking cooperation for selling salt.

Nian Shutong just coldly read the message and replied with a single sentence.

"No need for cooperation."

Four words, not a trace of leeway spared.

Nian Shutong had long had her own plans for things like salt and sugar.

Little River Live, applying for her own brand, capturing a certain market share, and, when the time came, she would disclose the methods to the interstellar community.

Meanwhile, the Yan Family’s three brothers, upon receiving the information, slumped helplessly to one side after seeing the reply.

"What do we do now? They’re selling fine salt; where does that leave us?"

"We’ll figure it out on our own. I refuse to believe we can’t come up with some lousy salt!"

The Yan Family’s anger and regret were completely disregarded by Nian Shutong.

After sending her reply, she was about to inspect the fields when a message diverted her plan.

The chickens have laid eggs!

"Dou Dou, take your little friends with you; we are going to collect eggs!"

Nian Shutong’s call to action sent Dou Dou running swiftly, shouting for the children in the small wooden house to join her as they boarded two shuttle buses heading out to gather eggs.

On the bus, the children’s chirpy little moods babbled like sparrows.

They had never collected eggs before.

As the shuttle arrived, the children got off in an orderly fashion and followed Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong asked one of the workers, who equally had no idea how many chickens had laid eggs.

After all, these "loose chickens" really did roam everywhere.

Looking back at the army of children, Nian Shutong thought, indeed, this trip wasn’t in vain!

She stood on a rock and shouted to the children, "Children, for every ten eggs collected, you can receive an egg as a reward."

"The more you collect, the more you receive."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, we do!"

Nian Shutong nodded, satisfied. She first communicated with the Little Silver Snake using her Divine Sense, telling it to clear the nearby dangers.

Like its fellow snakes, it was better to stay away and not frighten the children.

"Master, rest assured, the whole area is very safe."

That’s good, Nian Shutong waved her hand, pointing toward the area where the chickens were roaming.

"Go! Let’s collect eggs!"

The children scattered in a bustle, gradually spreading out and starting to collect eggs in small groups.

"I found one!"

"Wow! Here’s one!"

"I got one too!"

"I found one as well!"

The children were as thrilled as if they were hunting for treasure.

Dou Dou also went with the Little Pink Pig to collect eggs among the children.

Unexpectedly, the Little Pink Pig was quite adept, leading Dou Dou to several eggs.

"Little Fen, you’re amazing!"

"Your nose is even better than Jing Bai’s!"

Dou Dou affectionately kissed the Little Pink Pig, making it blush, although it was hard to tell due to its pink skin.

Nian Shutong also followed behind the children, leisurely picking up any that were overlooked.

After collecting for an hour, the children’s enthusiasm was still high, but Nian Shutong was feeling a bit done.

She thought there should be a better way; constantly collecting eggs like this wasn’t a sustainable solution.

"Auntie, Auntie! Come quickly!"

Nian Shutong thought Dou Dou was in danger and used Instantaneous Movement, confusing Dou Dou—who was it by her side?

"What is it!"

"The chicken, Auntie!"
