Sale Successful

Life back in his hometown was peaceful. When the house was being renovated, Li Yang took Chen Qian to stay at a hotel in the county town, coming back whenever needed. His parents stayed at a relative's house.

His parents oversaw the renovation, which involved breaking up and re-laying the concrete floor to fix the drainage pipes. But with money paving the way, it wasn't much trouble.

Li Yang took Chen Qian sightseeing. When his younger sister had the weekend off, he told her to finish her homework quickly on Friday night, then drove her to Heyang on Saturday morning for two days of fun.

They returned on Sunday afternoon. He bought her several new outfits, a few pairs of new shoes, a smartwatch, and a pile of toys and snacks. She went to bed happy that night and went to school the next day, thrilled with the hundred yuan Li Yang had secretly slipped her.

On Monday, his younger sister went to school. His older sister had a day off once a month, and the weekend was still far off, so construction started right away. His parents supervised, and Li Yang just relaxed.

Of course, he wasn't just idly lounging around.

"Uncle, are there any farmers around here who haven't sold their crops yet?"

On Monday morning, Li Yang took Chen Qian to his uncle's house for a visit. While there, Li Yang looked at the wheat piled up on the first floor of his uncle's house and suddenly asked with a flicker in his eyes.

"Probably. What, you thinking of buying grain?"

Li Yang's uncle nodded, looked at Li Yang's expression, and asked curiously.

"Buying grain by driving around the village, nobody would care, right?"

Li Yang tapped his fingers and asked suddenly.

"Who's going to manage that? Just drive a truck and sell it to whoever offers the highest price."

Li Yang's uncle raised an eyebrow. "You really want to buy this?"

"Yes, buy. Let's see how much we can get first. As long as there is some, I'll buy however much there is!"

A smile played on Li Yang's lips. His gaze then turned to the farmland ahead, his eyes growing brighter.

Buying food?

Why go to the city to buy it?

In the countryside, there were vegetables and grain, people raising pigs, ducks, chickens, cattle, everything.

He could totally buy a small truck himself and buy it in the village!

Buying grain in the countryside is different from in the city. You drive around and call out, and whoever has stored grain and thinks your price is right will sell it to you.

Li Yang bought a used truck and had his uncle, who had a truck driver's license, drive it for him, paying him a salary of 600 yuan a day to help him buy grain. He paid the highest market price plus an extra three cents per jin. The two of them worked for a day and collected a truck full of wheat.

Immediately after, he took the wheat to a place that could mill it, had all the wheat ground into flour, and 'temporarily stored' it bag by bag in his own warehouse. Then he continued to take his uncle to buy grain.

He didn't just buy grain; he bought chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, and pigs too. After a month of this back and forth, the harvest finally made Li Yang feel satisfied. He 'transported' all the collected livestock alive and then smiled as he gave his uncle twenty thousand yuan for his hard work before finally stopping this vigorous purchasing operation.

During this past month, the house had also been renovated and looked brand new. Aside from returning to Heyang once to move the one hundred and twenty Supercomputers back into the Gold Shop in the Apocalyptic World, Li Yang also took time to check on the progress of the two slaves and received a full 1.5T of categorized study materials he had requested be put on a hard drive.

He also took his older sister Li Ling, who had escaped high school confinement, and his younger sister Li Na, who had a day off once a week and came back with her, out for another trip, buying her a pile of things to fulfill the little girl's wishes.

His food came easily, but he couldn't let others feel it came easily.

So, although the two slaves were well prepared and had made one cautious sales plan after another, Li Yang was never in a hurry.

Instead, he waited for time to pass, allowing the difficulty of transporting pure food to become apparent before making a decision.

"Dad, the license plate and insurance for this car are all set. I'll just park it at home. There's a fuel card inside with money in it, enough for you. You can drive it whenever you get your driver's license."

"There's half a million in the card. You two keep it to spend."

"I've been resting at home for a month. Things over there should start getting busy, so I'll head back now."

Living in a newly renovated and tidied house was comfortable. After staying there for two days, Li Yang parked the car he bought for home use in his hometown and drove back to Heyang with Chen Qian, with his parents seeing them off.

"Oh, after staying here for so long, it's a bit hard to leave suddenly."

On the way back, Chen Qian stretched and looked at Li Yang's profile as he drove, a smile blooming on her face as she said.

"If you want to come back later, I'll bring you."

Li Yang smiled. "Everything okay with your family now?"

"Yes, after you clarified things, the rumors there fell apart on their own. Nobody believes what her family is spreading now."

Chen Qian sighed emotionally. "Good news travels slowly, bad news travels fast. I really experienced that this time. What was happening with your family, in less than a month, I actually saw censored messages discussing it in my old classmates' chat group. It's unbelievable."

"Now the internet is developed, and news spreads quickly. This is especially true for sensational stories."

Li Yang smiled, then shook his head. "Two clowns, it's in the past. They won't cause us any more trouble in the future. Now, let's adjust our mindset and prepare for the civil service exam properly. That's what's important."

Liu Lili's family was completely finished. They had lost a lot of face among the nearby villagers. Their desires, exposed to the light of day, resulted in a destructive burning out, and they were no longer capable of causing any waves.

As for what the other party said on the phone during their intimate moments earlier, just listen and forget it. Such brainless things, they wouldn't be able to do them.

"Okay, there's an exam next month. I'll go try it then."

Chen Qian nodded seriously and also completely let go of the matter concerning Liu Wu's family in her mind.

In fact, she hadn't neglected her studies this month. She spent her free time every day studying with her tablet and phone. Although she lacked some materials, she could study other subjects, so she didn't waste her study time.

Li Yang turned to look at her, smiled, and then turned back to focus on driving.

Heyang City, East District Villa.

The owner, who had been away for a month, returned. The understated yet luxurious black car was parked in the lot, and the man and woman walked into the villa together.

That afternoon, the aunt made a nourishing pork rib soup. After drinking it, they took a good nap.

In the afternoon, Chen Qian immediately immersed herself in her studies, while Li Yang, with a backpack full of external hard drives, drove from the villa all the way to the suburban house.

His figure flickered again, entering the Gold Shop from the second floor of the house filled with flour.

[Master, the hundred kilograms of pure flour have all been sold, earning a total of fifty thousand Base Currency. The Gene Testing Device you requested earlier has been delivered!]

As soon as he arrived in the Apocalyptic World, Li Yang received good news from his Communicator.
