Chapter 2329: Chapter 2326: Unexpected Delight

Even an AI knows how to apologize, becoming more and more like humans. Lin Tian chuckled, "Little Ya, if I give you a mechanical body, you could become a smart robot."

"Little Ya still envies humans. Machines are ultimately just cold metal, without life, without warmth," Little Ya surprisingly replied.

Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan exchanged glances, both full of astonishment. Little Ya’s sentiment sounded very human.

"Then I have no solution. A mechanical body might be possible to create, but a flesh body is beyond my capability—I’m not a god," Lin Tian said helplessly.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian also thought, if the Xiao Family’s supercomputer AI "Nuwa" were given a flesh body, what kind of brain could handle her computational abilities? Perhaps only a god could match such a brain.

With the computing power of "Nuwa," whenever she thinks, the energy consumption is terrifying; an ordinary body could not withstand it.

The farther away from the city center, the fewer the cars. Reaching the outskirts, it was nearly unobstructed. After navigating a small road for a while longer, they finally stopped at the mountain’s base.

It was already nightfall, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, aside from the sounds of insects and occasional calls of wild birds, accentuating the solitude. As Little Ya mentioned, it was indeed desolate. Logically, Jinghua City’s outskirts shouldn’t be so barren, yet oddly, there wasn’t a soul in sight here.

However, the trees on the mountain were lush. At this time in early spring, everything was budding, presenting a unique landscape. Under the night sky, only Lin Tian could clearly see the situation on the mountain; night vision is truly beneficial.

"Really strange, why did Sister invite us here?" Xiao Manxuan wondered.

Suddenly, two beams of light shot forward, causing Xiao Manxuan to close her eyes. Lin Tian didn’t close his eyes; instead, he stared directly at the beams—those were two headlights.

Such bright and focused light surely belonged to a good car. Lin Tian opened the car door and got out. Across from him, someone also emerged, the light revealing a tall and elegant figure—it was undoubtedly Miss.

"Miss, if you hadn’t appeared, I would’ve thought it was a trap set by someone else," Lin Tian joked.

Xiao Manxuan also got out, ran over to grasp her sister’s arm, and very curiously asked, "Sister, why did you invite us here? It’s neither a scenic spot nor does it have food. It’s too desolate."

"Many years ago, the Yun Family’s place was also barren, and now it’s a famous estate." Miss said meaningfully.

Lin Tian’s heart stirred, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, are you planning to develop this place into an estate?"

Miss shook her head slightly and smiled, "Not me, it’s you."

"Wow, you’re not joking, are you? Not to mention how much it would cost to build an estate, this land and mountain isn’t something you can build on just because you want to. Does it have an owner?" Lin Tian felt Miss’s idea was a bit sudden. Speaking of building an estate, he had the money for it, but this mountain couldn’t be used arbitrarily.

Miss confidently stated, "You are its owner."

"Sister, what are you talking about? We’re a bit confused here." Xiao Manxuan was also thrown off by her sister, unable to keep up with her thought process.

"Actually, when our business expanded to Jinghua City, I considered establishing a foothold in Jinghua City, so I’ve been learning about the situation there. You can’t buy an existing estate like the Yun Family’s, so I’ve thought, if we can’t buy one, why not build one ourselves?"

"This place used to belong to a businessman who also planned to build an estate, but when his business developed abroad, he felt this wouldn’t be suitable anymore and bought a small island abroad for such a project."

"So this place remained undeveloped. I exchanged it without spending a penny, using a condition." Miss smiled mischievously, seemingly adopting Lin Tian’s spirit of not taking losses.

"What condition?" Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan asked simultaneously.

Miss paused for a moment before saying, "Tianxue Jewelry is rapidly expanding overseas; the overseas market is so vast that we can’t handle it alone. So allies for cooperation are needed, and with our reputation, many naturally seek cooperation."

"I exchanged one cooperation slot with them, and they have solid strength. Giving them a slot doesn’t bring us a loss, and the land is their token of sincerity. So now, you are the owner here." Miss laughed.

"So, Lin Tian is now the mountain king, haha..." Xiao Manxuan laughed heartily upon hearing it.

"If I’m the mountain king, I’d immediately seize both of you as the village chief’s wives," Lin Tian teased the sisters.

This remark earned unanimous glares; Lin Tian didn’t continue teasing and suddenly said seriously, "Thank you, Miss."

Miss was taken aback, "I haven’t done anything..."

"I know your reason; are you thinking of building a home for Little Snow?" Lin Tian had already guessed Miss’s intention. The scene when the three parted ways with Little Snow was surely etched in Miss’s heart.

High rises are unsuitable for Little Snow; she belongs to the mountains, belongs to the sky.

"On the way here, I had Little Ya analyze data to understand this mountain. To be precise, it’s a branch of a mountain range, which is part of the same main mountain range as the Yun Family Estate’s branch. It’s vertically deep, more than sufficient for Little Snow to play," Lin Tian further explained.

"You’re right, both branches are part of the same main mountain range, but from a feng shui perspective, this place is inferior to the Yun Family’s location. That’s one of the reasons the businessman delayed constructing the estate here." Miss said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Do you think I, Lin Tian, need a house to change my fortune?" Lin Tian said calmly.

Miss was momentarily stunned, then smiled. Without grandiose words, a simple statement radiated his confidence and dominance—a strong heart is perhaps one of the reasons people are drawn to him.

Regardless of gender, his powerful spirit influences everyone; men follow him, women are attracted to him.

"So, you’re agreeing to build the estate?" Miss asked excitedly.

"Let’s build it; I’ll have a taste of being a mountain king. But who knows if there’ll be a village chief’s wife." Lin Tian didn’t refuse. Perhaps it was time to find a foothold; a big man like him couldn’t stay at the Xiao Family forever.

"Tonight, I’ll have the Nuwa System draft the design. Do you have any specific requests?" Miss was decisive.

Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "Keep it simple; try not to damage the existing trees." With the Nuwa System designing, surely there’d be no problem.

"Can I have a room then?" Xiao Manxuan raised her hand playfully.

"Of course, I still need a village chief’s wife," Lin Tian teased.

Miss glared at him, forbidding his flattery.

Miss’s gift was an unexpected joy, but Lin Tian didn’t immediately think about bringing Little Snow back. It is free, and if it doesn’t wish to leave the snow-capped mountain, Lin Tian wouldn’t force it.
