"Haha, I got the first-time reward for driving them off, too."
Hearing the notification in his ears, Zeng Shen laughed happily. He planned to head into the RV, open the lottery wheel, and do twenty consecutive draws.
But just as he boarded the RV, before he could open the lottery wheel, a WeChat video call came in from Li Yuqing.
Zeng Shen had to set the lottery aside and answer his wife's video call.
"Honey, look at the two of us standing together. Don't we look really eye-catching?"
The moment the call connected, Li Yuqing's voice rang out.
She was wearing yesterday's hanfu, which, paired with her incredibly fair skin, gave her an otherworldly air.
Beside her, Liu Tongtong wore an eye-catching Su Daji costume that perfectly displayed her youthful figure and much of the snowy skin across her chest, giving her a seductive, foxlike charm.
They would definitely turn heads in a video.
Li Yuqing urged him, "Honey, don't just stare. Tell us what you think."
"You both look great. One's seductive, the other's ethereal. The contrast is striking. A video of you two will definitely catch people's eyes," Zeng Shen said, though his gaze lingered on Liu Tongtong as he fell into thought.
Liu Tongtong was a tier-four ghost chieftain. Like Li Zhiyuan, she could earn him two hundred survival points as long as he subdued her once a day.
That was a substantial sum.
But before he got his permanent license plates, replaced the temporary ones, and could take the highway to other cities to trigger various first-time rewards, how could he subdue her once every day?
Maybe he could treat her the same way he treated Li Yuqing.
Pfft.
The same way I treated Liu Miao?
Get her interested in learning martial arts?
While Zeng Shen pondered how to farm points from Liu Tongtong, Li Yuqing smiled. "Then, honey, let's wear these two outfits to film at the park plaza tomorrow and draw some traffic."
"No problem."
Once they settled on the outfits, Li Yuqing moved on to other topics. "Honey, did you finish helping Sister Liu Miao get her loan?"
"All done, though I ran into a little trouble along the way."
"What trouble?"
Zeng Shen told Li Yuqing about the thugs earlier as he drove the RV toward the Lihuo Martial Arts Hall at the corner of Hongmi Street.
They chatted for nearly twenty minutes. Only when the RV reached the entrance of the Lihuo Martial Arts Hall did Zeng Shen end the call.
"Whew, since I'm already at the Martial Arts Hall, I might as well farm points first. I'll do the twenty draws when I get home tonight."
With that, Zeng Shen got out and headed inside.
It was around five in the afternoon when he finally finished earning all 1,500 points. After asking Li Zhiyuan to teach him a few self-defense moves he could teach girls, he left and went straight home.
Good Fortune Residential Complex.
Zeng Shen closed the door and lay down on the sofa. With a focused thought, he appeared in the sky above his divine domain.
He lowered his head slightly, his gaze piercing layers of white clouds tens of thousands of meters above the ground to reach the Domain of Yanhuang.
At that moment.
It was evening in the divine domain, just as it was on Blue Star.
In front of the cat dens in Bastet Town, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, and the other kittens were playing carefree with the Mint Cat Ball.
Beside them, Big Black Cat lay in the largest tree-stump den, his eyes mostly closed, though he opened them from time to time.
As for the other stray cats, some stayed in their dens, some lounged in nearby trees, and others crouched beside empty food dishes, occasionally licking them.
"Good thing I have money now. Otherwise, I couldn't afford to feed this whole family."
Muttering to himself, Zeng Shen withdrew his consciousness, opened the divine domain gate, and began putting out cat food and dog food.
Next.
He walked to the waters of Riverbend Bay and looked down at the stream before him.
The plankton colonies he had originally released had multiplied into thousands of clusters. They had begun following the stream, gradually spreading into the divine domain's other rivers.
As for the freshwater shrimp larvae and freshwater carp fry.
They followed the plankton colonies into other waters, hiding among the newly sprouted aquatic plants and making their homes there.
After watching for a while, Zeng Shen walked over to Riverstream Pond and approached the two breeding flower shrubs planted on its bank.
The two breeding flower shrubs stood two meters tall and looked like camellia trees. Though they had yet to bloom, the scent given off by their pale green young leaves was already like a drug, drawing tiny beetles that lingered helplessly, sank deeper into their obsession, and finally exhausted themselves. They fell into the stream and became food for the little carp fry roaming nearby.
"These breeding flower shrubs haven't even bloomed, and their leaves alone are driving the insects crazy. They're even making me restless enough to want to find Li Yuqing. How terrifying will they be when they bloom a year from now?"
After muttering to himself, Zeng Shen left the divine domain, formed his consciousness avatar again, and appeared tens of thousands of meters in the air. Then he turned his gaze toward Emerald Valley.
The mighty ant queen he had previously taken into Emerald Valley.
She had settled beside the valley wall on the left with her daughters and begun building a new nest and an ant kingdom.
Meanwhile, Heizai had led his twenty female ants to a small opening in the wall near Emerald Valley's entrance and made it their home.
He then lived a shamelessly comfortable, indulgent little life, working hard to breed an army of swift ant beasts for Zeng Shen.
Zeng Shen looked away from the two ant colonies and toward the small multipurpose mining and refining vehicle deep in Emerald Valley.
The vehicle's rear compartment already held a thousand pieces of rough jade.
Of those, nine hundred and fifty were white quality, forty-nine were green quality, and one was blue quality.
At the same time.
Three gems had been set apart from the rough jade.
One was a fiery red gem resembling agate, one was an emerald-green gem resembling jade, and one was a blue gem resembling blue crystal.
Zeng Shen cast Eye of Observation over them.
[Fire crystal: White quality. A gem containing a trace of divine energy and fire elements.] [Wood crystal: White quality. A gem containing a trace of divine energy and wood elements.] [Water crystal: White quality. A gem containing a trace of divine energy and water elements.]
"I don't know what these crystals are used for, but with such low yields, they'll probably be rare and valuable in the future."
Zeng Shen then checked the wild bull calves, pheasant chicks, and rice paddies in his divine domain before slowly withdrawing his gaze and summoning the lottery wheel.
"Twenty consecutive draws."
As soon as Zeng Shen spoke, the lottery wheel spun for several seconds, and streaks of white light flew out in quick succession.
[Congratulations, host! You drew 2 white cards: Small Copper Mine Cards.] [Congratulations, host! You drew 2 white cards: Small Silver Mine Cards.] [Congratulations, host! You drew 2 white cards: Ordinary Hare Colony Cards.] [Congratulations, host! You drew 2 white cards: Ordinary Fruit Tree Sapling Cards.] [Congratulations, host! You drew 1 white card: Ordinary Sheep Card.] [Congratulations, host! You drew 1 white card: Ordinary Vegetable Seed Card.]
"Another ten resource cards as an appetizer. Putting them into the divine domain will give me ten points of divine rank experience."
Zeng Shen muttered and scanned the white cards.
[Small Copper Mine Card: Provides a small copper mine containing divine energy for extraction.] [Small Silver Mine Card: Provides a small silver mine containing divine energy for extraction.] [Hare Colony Card: Young hares containing divine energy. Their meat is delicious, and their fur contains a faint trace of divine energy, seemingly making it a material for some kind of equipment.] [Fruit Tree Sapling Card: Fruit tree saplings containing divine energy. When placed in the divine domain, each card will generate ten saplings of each of ten different fruit tree varieties.] [Sheep Card: Young sheep containing divine energy. Their horns and wool are useful materials.] [Vegetable Seed Card: Vegetable seeds containing divine energy. When placed in the divine domain, each card will generate ten seedlings of each of ten different vegetable varieties.]
