Rural Farming: My Buildings Can Be Upgraded

Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Task Completed

When the seven tourists arrived at the Arrow Tower, they curiously watched the professors conducting various tests for a while, then began to experience the tower’s wonders for themselves.

"Whoa! This is amazing! From down below, the distant trees were all a blur. But after coming up here, I can see them clearly. I can even see things much farther away."

"It really is incredible. I’m so curious what’s causing this. If this could be applied to reconnaissance equipment, it would be incredibly useful."

"I was skeptical before I came. Only after experiencing it for myself do I understand just how extraordinary this phenomenon is."

After the seven of them had their turn, they started posting a constant stream of photos and videos to their Friends Circles and the internet. They also gave an interview to the reporter, Li Bing.

Li Bing, who had tried the astronomical telescope the previous night, also told the seven of them about its powerful capabilities.

As they shared them on social media, the videos and photos these seven people took began to spread rapidly across the internet.

Some people nearby who had just been casually browsing online to kill time suddenly became interested after seeing their videos and photos.

The main reasons were that it wasn’t far away and the news had been confirmed as true. They figured it might be nice to go experience it for themselves.

Tourists from out of town hadn’t arrived yet, but the local ones were already being stirred into action.

Some parents in the city were already planning to take advantage of the weekend and bring their children for an outing.

Meanwhile, Hu Xia also featured the tourists’ footage and videos on her live stream. This was enough to thoroughly pique the interest of some online followers who had still been skeptical.

Those with the time and money were already preparing to set off and experience it for themselves.

They were somewhat worried that if they didn’t come experience this special environment now, it might be designated a restricted research zone by the government.

The massive number of ticket purchases created a data anomaly that quickly caught the attention of the transportation department. When Jiangcheng City officials learned that a new "internet-famous" attraction had appeared in Wuyuan County and was already blowing up online, they immediately gave it their full attention.

They had long been envious of other cities that used internet celebrities or scenic spots to attract tourists. Now that this huge, pleasant surprise had fallen into their laps, they were determined to find a way to capitalize on this windfall.

Upon learning that Wuyuan County had already begun preparations, the Jiangcheng City Tourism Bureau felt they weren’t enough. They wanted to expand the scale of the operation.

After looking into the situation in Lin Xian Village, they discovered that Wuyuan County’s preparations for lodging and transportation were clearly insufficient.

They immediately dispatched a task force to handle the matter, aiming to perfect every single aspect.

This time, however, they didn’t approach Lin Feng. After learning about the situation in Lin Xian Village, they realized that they couldn’t solve its internal problems either.

Their main efforts were focused on the lodging and dining issues in the county seat and Mountain Ridge Town. They also set up a dedicated tourist bus line running from the county seat to Lin Xian Village.

Lin Feng was unaware that his little Lin Xian Village had already caught the attention of some important people in Jiangcheng.

He had just returned from the Arrow Tower when he saw Zhao Shiyun running toward him. With her agile gait, white traditional medicine practitioner’s uniform, and sweet smile, she was the very picture of youthful beauty.

He noticed that Zhao Shiyun was much more cheerful than when they had last met. ’What a strange personality,’ he thought.

"Boss Lin, Boss Lin! I looked into that prescription you gave me. There’s nothing wrong with it."

"That’s good. Are the herbs easy to purchase?"

"The herbs are easy to buy, but they require official review, and the license is very hard to get," she said with a frown.

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then said, "We won’t sell it as medicine. We’ll sell it as a tea."

"Ah! That’s a great idea, but it’s very limiting."

"It’s fine. We’ll just sell it here in the village. We’re not counting on it to make money anyway."

’Of course the limitations are huge,’ Lin Feng thought. ’Only the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills produced in the village, and personally prepared by a Pharmacist, will have the special effect.’

’If you just combine the herbs normally, all you get is the standard effect of clearing heat and stopping coughs. There’s nothing special about it.’

"Once the Medicine House is built, you can brew it in there and sell it to the tourists."

Zhao Shiyun nodded. That kind of work posed no difficulty for her.

"By the way, my grandfather asked me to remind you that it’s best to protect the Jade Grapes and not let them get out."

"Please thank your grandfather for me. But it’s fine. The Jade Grapes can’t be transplanted right now anyway. If they manage to research a way to transplant them, I’ll be the one thanking them."

’Even if someone did manage to grow Jade Grapes elsewhere, they wouldn’t have the same effects as the ones here,’ he thought.

Speaking of which, Professor Zhou Yongqiang, who had left with a grin yesterday, was not in such a great mood when he showed up today.

Lin Feng had heard that the grape cuttings the professor took back had rapidly lost their viability and were completely unsalvageable, despite his special treatments.

Furthermore, Wang Peng had also called to say he was bringing a professor specializing in grapes to confirm a few things.

Evidently, their research had failed, and now they wanted to come and investigate the cause.

Seeing what these experts were going through, Lin Feng gave up on the idea of researching the Jade Grapes himself. It would be a complete waste of time.

"Here, have some tea."

Zhao Shiyun took a sip and said, "The water here is really good, too."

’Her foodie Talent is really something else,’ he thought. ’She’s the first person besides my parents to notice how good the water is here.’

"It is very good."

Just then, Mo Yu came running back from somewhere and lay down under the table next to them.

She stared at Mo Yu, wanting to pet the dog but not daring to, then glanced up at Lin Feng.

Seeing her adorable hesitation, Lin Feng said, "It’s fine. Mo Yu doesn’t bite. Go ahead and pet him if you want."

’It seems Mo Yu automatically recognizes anyone with "villager" status as an ally.’

Zhao Shiyun cautiously reached out a hand to test the waters. When she found that Mo Yu was indeed friendly, she happily scooped the dog into her arms.

Just then, Hu Zhiming walked over. "Brother Lin," he said, "you really need to get the store up and running. Those tourists just told me there’s nowhere for them to buy water."

"Huh? They won’t drink the mountain spring water here?"

"They don’t seem very willing to."

Lin Feng was completely taken by surprise. "The supplies are being delivered tomorrow. People can buy things then."

He had secured a supply channel through a business owner named Zhang Yong—it was the same channel a supermarket would use.

"That’s good. My sister said we’ll have a lot of tourists tomorrow. A bunch of people from nearby cities who watched the stream said they’re coming to check it out."

The two of them chatted for a bit about the custom-built houses. Things were going well; the use of some prefabricated components would speed up the process considerably.

Hu Xia walked over quickly, holding her live-streaming gear. "Oh, you’re all here! Shiyun, you look happy."

"This little puppy is so cute and well-behaved."

Just then, five middle-aged women walked in from the village entrance, led by Uncle Dazhuang’s wife.

Seeing Lin Feng, she hurried over. "Xiaofeng, I’m so sorry. I’ve caused you trouble."

"It’s fine, it’s fine, Aunt Wu."

He led them into a room to the side, explained the situation, and then took out the contracts he had prepared.

Since they had already discussed it over the phone, everyone happily signed their contracts.

"Xiaofeng, you don’t have any tourists right now. If we come to work for you, won’t you lose money?"

Lin Feng looked at the woman, an auntie named Sun Guifang. She had an excellent reputation. She had cared for her paralyzed mother-in-law for over a decade, and right up until the elderly woman passed away, she had been kept in good condition.

"Don’t worry, Aunt Sun. I won’t be short on tourists, and I won’t lose money."

’Besides, the Arrow Tower isn’t the only special building here,’ he thought. ’Every building has a unique effect; they just haven’t been constructed yet.’

’And as for the water from the Well, its effects are subtle, so most people haven’t noticed the benefits yet.’

’Once people discover that even drinking the well water is good for them, I’m sure its reputation will draw in crowds.’

He wasn’t worried about a lack of tourists. He was only worried that there would be too many in the future and that they would completely overrun his little Lin Xian Village.

"As long as you’re not losing money, that’s good."

"Aunties, you can all head home for now. Just be here at eight tomorrow morning."

After seeing the five aunties off, Lin Feng first took a look at the farm manure recipe he’d been rewarded. He decided to check the newly generated mission last.

[Farm Manure: Construct a biogas digester to process waste. This will produce farm manure that increases crop yield by 20%.]

’I can’t believe this is how you get farm manure. There’s no biogas digester on the construction list, though.’

After looking all that over, he glanced at the new mission, and his expression immediately turned to one of surprise.
