Chapter 153 - 151: Orchard and Medicinal Herb Garden

Chapter 153: Chapter 151: Orchard and Medicinal Herb Garden

Mo Yu snubbed him, leaving Wang Ming feeling a bit helpless as he watched the little guy walk away. The surrounding tourists glared at him.

"Let’s go, let’s go. Next time you want to pet Mo Yu, you’ll have to go through Boss Lin."

The two returned to the guard post. Although Mo Yu wasn’t cut out to be a police dog, he could be bred in the future to produce offspring.

Hu Xia watched the chat in her livestream, feeling quite pleased. She happily clapped back at some of the comments.

"Some people are impossibly stubborn. We even played the recording, and you still refuse to believe it.

That criminal was caught by Mo Yu on the mountain. He was clearly trying to enter Lin Xian Village to cause trouble, most likely targeting Youyou.

I just can’t understand people like that. Youyou rejected him outright, but he kept harassing her like crazy."

"Host, you’re glossing over the facts. Why aren’t you mentioning that he watched Qin Youyou’s stream and donated over 10,000 yuan?"

"Oh, come on now. Let’s take a look at this comment. So, by your logic, just because someone donates money, the streamer is obligated to become their girlfriend.

In that case, over a hundred thousand people have donated to me during my streams. Does that mean I have to split myself into over a hundred thousand pieces?!

Your logic is flawed. Youyou performs her talents on her stream. She doesn’t force anyone to donate, nor does she ever hint at anything.

Donations are a form of encouragement from all you handsome guys and beautiful ladies when you enjoy the show. You can’t donate with ulterior motives. That’s illegal."

"Alright, alright, let’s stop talking about this. It’s pointless.

Lin Xian Village has a lot of tourists right now. I just checked, and the number of reservations has reached over eight hundred thousand.

Today, I’m giving away 100 prizes. Our Lin Xian Village mineral water plant has been approved, and each prize is a 24-pack of mineral water.

Don’t turn your noses up at it. We sell it for 20 yuan a bottle. And I’ll let you in on a little secret: Boss Lin says drinking water from Lin Xian Village is good for you.

So, for all you tourists coming to Lin Xian Village, don’t be a fool and buy bottled water. Drink plenty of the free spring water, and take a few bottles with you when you leave."

The viewers watching the stream heard Hu Xia’s words, and the chat instantly exploded with comments.

"Sister Hu, what mineral water? You’re selling it for 20 a bottle?"

"Is Lin Xian Village trying to fleece us?"

"Pick me! Pick me!"

"Does the water from Lin Xian Village really have special effects?"

"..."

Hu Xia looked at the chat and said, "Don’t worry, everyone. I don’t sell products on my stream. This water is 20 yuan a bottle, but even if you want to buy it, you might not be able to.

Based on the orders we’ve received so far, it probably won’t be sold to the public for the next two months. The entire supply has already been bought out."

She wasn’t just making this up. After the permits came through, many people who got the news called to place orders immediately.

There are a lot of rich people in this world. Many who couldn’t buy the Jade Grapes could only resort to ordering the water.

"The host must be bragging. You haven’t even started production, and it’s already sold out?"

"Don’t tell me the previous rumors about the water were true!"

"They were selling fake Lin Xian Village water in Wuyuan County before, and the price was even higher than this. Everyone was saying the water from Lin Xian Village can cure illnesses."

"Holy shit! I missed out big time. The last time I went to Lin Xian Village, I didn’t drink a single sip of the spring water. When I ran out of water, I actually went and bought mineral water."

Hu Xia looked at the chat. ’Lin Xian Village’s water might really not appear on the open market in the future,’ she thought.

This water truly had benefits after drinking it; it wasn’t like those hyped-up mineral waters from overseas.

"Anyway, don’t worry. We’re not trying to rip you off. The mineral water we produce might not even be enough to cover the pre-orders."

Hu Xia’s stream attracted the attention of many people, the kind who had been keeping a close eye on Lin Xian Village’s Jade Grapes.

Now that they knew the water was for sale, they started calling their contacts, hoping to pre-order some mineral water.

Lin Feng also received a call from Zhou Jun. The guy had seen the information on the livestream and had only just learned about the water situation.

"Lin Feng, a lot of people on my end want to order that water. Can they still place an order?"

"I can give you a quota of five thousand bottles a day. Any more than that is impossible right now; we can’t produce it."

Although Lin Xian Village’s water allowed them to skip many steps, the production site and assembly line still needed time to be built.

Moreover, expanding the scale of water production wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two.

The current water plant in the village was just a temporary solution. The new plant wouldn’t be built inside the village.

"Thanks, five thousand bottles is enough."

Zhou Jun did a quick calculation. It was more than enough to distribute among his close friends.

As for those he wasn’t on good terms with, they would just have to figure it out for themselves.

In fact, the main buyers for Lin Xian Village’s water currently came from Wuyuan County and Jiangcheng City, with some others being domestic pharmaceutical companies.

A small portion came from people familiar with Lin Xian Village. So, the village really didn’t need to worry about sales, and likely wouldn’t need to in the future either.

As word spread, anyone with a bit of influence would surely order directly. It was as if the water was sold out before it was even produced.

Take people like Zhang Yong, for instance. They were experimenting with the water from Lin Xian Village and had discovered that drinking it regularly did indeed have benefits.

So, after learning the news, these people all ordered a substantial amount.

In this world, good things didn’t need marketing; buyers would come knocking on their own.

Netizens were still arguing endlessly about why Lin Xian Village’s water was so expensive, believing the village was getting ready to fleece everyone.

Little did they know, the water produced by Lin Xian Village wasn’t even enough to go around. People who were just getting the news were scrambling to find ways to buy it.

This was especially true for some foreign pharmaceutical companies. They had started experiments as soon as news of the water got out and had already proven that it was indeed beneficial to the human body.

When the shareholders behind these pharmaceutical companies heard the news, their first instruction was to procure large quantities of the water.

So, after seeing Hu Xia’s livestream, these foreign companies also began looking for contacts to order water from Lin Xian Village.

Their actions directly led to more people learning the news and joining the competition for this water resource.

Then, the news these people managed to dig up was that Lin Xian Village’s water was completely bought out before production had even started.

Among them, some began to get other ideas. For example, if Lin Xian Village’s water resources were so good, could there be similar sources elsewhere?

If they could find the same aquifer, they could cash in on it too!

They started looking for hydrology experts to study Lin Xian Village’s aquifer, hoping to find a similar water source.

The Wuyuan County Water Resources Department suddenly noticed that many people were inquiring about the aquifers around Lin Xian Village for some reason.

This strange phenomenon was quickly reported up the chain of command and came to the attention of the leadership.

’Do they really think we’re all idiots?’ The leaders didn’t even need to investigate to know what these people were plotting.

After learning about the situation with Lin Xian Village’s springs, the Water Resources Department had already begun investigating the surrounding aquifers, but they hadn’t found any water source comparable to Lin Xian’s.

They quickly realized the unique nature of Lin Xian Village, and the investigation was terminated. And now, someone else had come up with the same idea.

The leaders didn’t interfere with these people. ’Who knows, maybe some fool will come and invest here.’

In fact, they were initially more curious about how those springs in Lin Xian Village had appeared.

According to the data they had, that area’s water resources were not abundant. The later appearance of an underground river was used to explain the issue.

Lin Feng wasn’t paying much attention to the situation outside. If it weren’t for the county’s request, he wouldn’t have even opened this water plant.

At this moment, he was standing on North Mountain, having just finished upgrading the Orchard and the Medicinal Herb Garden.

[Orchard (Level 2): Promotes fruit tree growth, resists pests and diseases, improves fruit quality, increases fruit maturation speed by 10%.]

[Medicinal Herb Garden (Level 2): Adapts to the growth environment of medicinal herbs, resists pests and diseases, enhances the medicinal properties of herbs, increases herb quality by 10%.]

’Effects that increase maturation speed and quality seem to have very low percentage boosts. It looks like I need to pay more attention to these kinds of attributes.’

The low boost indicated that this type of effect was more powerful than others. He thought of the Farmland.

’Maybe next time, I need to create some Farmland that improves quality.’

He thought about the appearance rate of ordinary specialty products. It was likely related to quality. Mutation itself was a leap in quality.

’Next, as long as the Clothing Workshop is built, I can complete Mission Four and get five rewards. I’m rather curious... what exactly does that Land Blessing do?’
