Chapter 510: Chapter 510 Consecutive Promotions

Shutong dismissed it as a trivial matter, which made Lin Mu smile. Although she didn’t say much, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Her life belonged to Shutong.

The two of them got up, boarded Shadowless, and returned to the small wooden house.

Shutong had already informed Fu Yunhe when Lin Mu was cultivating that she and Lin Mu were going out and would return later.

Fu Yunhe naturally had no objections and just peacefully handled things around the small wooden house.

At noon, after Shutong and Lin Mu returned, Master Fan cooked dumplings for the two of them.

"Boss, try this. This one is beef with celery, and this is leek, egg, and shrimp."

"One steamed dumpling, one boiled dumpling."

"Thank you, Master Fan."

Shutong expressed her gratitude, and Lin Mu thanked him too. The two then began eating several plates of dumplings.

Once they started eating, it seemed endless. Shutong had finished her portion while Lin Mu hadn’t.

One plate, two plates, three plates...

Master Fan was almost stunned; this was already the fifth plate.

Why had her appetite suddenly increased?

In the small wooden house, Master Fan was well aware of how much food everyone could eat.

He watched Lin Mu, whose eating showed no sign of slowing down, and without puzzling over why her appetite had grown, he turned back to make more dumplings.

Luckily, he had wrapped plenty.

As the water boiled, he added the dumplings with leek, egg, and shrimp to the pot, poured in cold water three times, and after it boiled three times, Master Fan scooped out the dumplings, steaming hot, and served them up.

"It’s no trouble, keep them coming."

Shutong took the plate of dumplings, pointing to the last one on the table which Lin Mu quickly finished, and then started on a new plate.

"Alright, there are more dumplings! Plenty more!"

Master Fan hurriedly went on to cook more dumplings. They had to be fed well.

Was Lin Mu previously hiding her true eating capability?

In the kitchen of the small wooden house, one cooked and the other ate. After Lin Mu had eaten thirteen plates of dumplings, she was finally full.

She leaned back comfortably in her chair, patting her stomach, and said, "This is the most satisfying meal I’ve ever had."

Shutong understood that Lin Mu meant eating without pain. However, the busy Master Fan interpreted it as Lin Mu having hidden her appetite and resolved to make more food in the future.

Thus, a beautiful misunderstanding was born.

After eating her fill, Lin Mu felt a wave of fatigue wash over her. She desperately wanted to sleep.

The word "sleep" felt so foreign to Lin Mu.

Ten years of pain had made it hard for her to fall asleep; she would often wake up from severe pain just a few minutes after dozing off.

For someone who had long suffered from chronic pain and had difficulty sleeping, maintaining a disposition like Lin Mu’s was truly not easy.

This was also why Shutong greatly admired and respected Lin Mu.

Normally, people who are ill or uncomfortable physically tend to have emotional fluctuations that can affect others.

But Lin Mu had never done so.

"Go and have a sleep. There’s nothing to worry about, you just need to rest."

Shutong said, and Lin Mu got up and went to her room to sleep.

"Hey, Boss!"

Just as he was about to leave, Master Fan called out; she looked toward Master Fan.

"I was just wondering, will Lin Mu eat dinner tonight?"

"I won’t eat anymore, and you don’t have to make her breakfast tomorrow morning either."

"Oh, okay."

Master Fan didn’t know what this was about; he just handled the cooking and wouldn’t need to cook for Lin Mu tonight.

After resolving Lin Mu’s matters, Nian Shutong planned to stroll through each area, which could be considered an inspection.

She had only taken a few steps when Fu Yunhe caught up with her.

"Lin Mu has upgraded."

His assured tone didn’t mean Fu Yunhe was particularly concerned about Lin Mu, but rather he was familiar with Lin Mu’s S-grade energy, which he hadn’t had time to collect yet.

"Yes, upgraded."

Fu Yunhe, looking at the calm and composed Nian Shutong, said, "It’s good for everyone to be a bit stronger."

He really hoped that others would become more powerful; the entire Blue Star couldn’t rely solely on Nian Shutong’s strength—others needed to share the burden.

Nian Shutong nodded in agreement, "There should be some changes after this time."

She changed direction with Fu Yunhe and first went to the area guarded by Fierce Beasts.

At every location that Nian Shutong visited, seeing a Fierce Beast, she left behind a certain amount of top-grade crystal stones to aid in their upgrading.

After looking at eight Fierce Beasts, she had scattered at least a hundred and twenty crystal stones.

Fu Yunhe felt that, around Nian Shutong, using top-grade crystal stones was as simple as drinking water; there was no longer the "preciousness" associated with top-grade crystal stones.

The two walked around, scattering crystal stones like a wealthy benefactor, and also inspected the basic conditions of Blue Star.

Flowers and fruit trees were all planted; some had even begun to blossom slowly. One could imagine how beautiful the floral district would be when everything bloomed.

Everything in the factory district was running smoothly, and the workers had autonomously arranged shift work to keep the machines operational continuously, boosting production somewhat.

Because they really weren’t producing enough to meet demand!

Every time their products went online in the small store, they sold out very quickly.

"Xiao He, arrange for another expansion of the factory scale."

"Okay."

The two were like a domineering CEO and his secretary, secretly in love, one commanding and the other continuously agreeing.

When the pair reached the livestock area, the ducks had grown a lot. The alfalfa seeds previously sown by Nian Shutong were also flourishing; it was time to buy some cows.

After finishing her inspection, Nian Shutong first went out, and when she returned, there were dairy cows in the livestock area.

She bought adult dairy cows that could produce milk immediately.

The first thing Nian Shutong did was to teach everyone how to milk, although it could be done by machines, learning a skill was not a bad thing either.

Just like herself; she didn’t know how many times she had stealthily taken milk from that herd of wild cows. If those cows had thoughts, they probably would have been driven insane by Nian Shutong several times over.

Not only the people working in the livestock area learned how to milk the cows, but Nian Shutong also had the children come over and learn together.

The group of children found it very interesting and were having fun milking.

The more milk they collected, the more Nian Shutong sent to the bakery. With the eggs they supplied, it enabled an increase in the variety of baked goods.

With so much milk, Nian Shutong thought they could make some small treats, like candies, and turn them into little gift packages for live-stream giveaways.

Toffee, milk candies, small cookies, and fried fresh milk were all tried out by Nian Shutong in the kitchen.

That evening, Ha Ha ran back from outside, straight into the kitchen.

"Good person, what’s all this?"

Nian Shutong glanced and said, "Fried milk, eat it!"

Ha Ha didn’t hold back; if the good person said it was edible, then it was.

In the kitchen, Ha Ha, with his large head, tried one of each, eating very happily.

As Nian Shutong, who was still preparing the milk, finally noticed something amiss, she stopped her actions and turned around.

"Ha Ha, have you upgraded?"
