Chapter 943 The Desire to Get Rich
Yu Linglong glanced at Ling Feng: "When you have the chance to go there, I will naturally tell you!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng, feeling helpless, shook his head and sighed.
Yu Linglong did not speak again, staring blankly at the earth as it gradually darkened, her expression seemingly a bit forlorn.
Ling Feng watched her profile, not knowing what was on this woman’s mind; he was merely appreciating her beauty.
At this moment, two dark figures appeared from the woods with a flash; afterwards, Wang Cai and Yellow ran back down to the Pyramid.
Li Fei’er communicated with Wang Cai, and the result was that this place was all dense forests with no further structures.
Ling Feng had anticipated this, so he gave a bitter smile and said, "Since that’s the case, let’s head back first!"
Then he led everyone away from the Nine Heavens, ending this journey of exploration.
Back outside the stone house, the sharp-eyed Li Fei’er saw a piece of white paper at the door, picked it up, looked at it, and handed it to Ling Feng, saying, "Yu Mei sister left this for you."
Ling Feng glanced at it and saw it was written: "When you come back, remember to return to the village for a bit, there’s something."
"What’s going on in the village?"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, put away the note and said to everyone, "Let’s stop here for now. We’ll take a look at the remaining two places when we have time. I’m going back to the village first."
"Okay."
Yu Linglong nodded her head and turned back into the stone house.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng took Li Fei’er with him and left the Second Layer Heaven.
He originally thought it was a good idea to take Sasha out for training, but these two trips turned out to be in vain.
However, Ling Feng was not in a hurry; the child was still too young, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future!
He originally intended to send Li Fei’er and the others to the First Layer of Heaven, but Li Fei’er refused, insisting on following him back to the village to see what was happening, so Ling Feng had no choice but to teleport back to Shiliu Village with her.
Only after arriving did they realize that it was a sunny day here and the time was only in the morning!
"What’s going on?" Ling Feng asked in confusion.
"It’s quite normal. We just teleported to the American Continent, so of course there’s a time difference from here!" said Li Fei’er.
Ling Feng then realized and laughed, "You didn’t mention it; I had forgotten, that place is part of our world too, not my exclusive domain!"
"Yeah, it seems to be the case. I’ll check the map later and see which country that place really belongs to. If it’s within the territory of America, then it will be much more convenient for us to go there in the future!" said Li Fei’er.
"You really are a clever one; I hadn’t thought of that!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was overjoyed and couldn’t help but playfully pinch her nose.
"I just thought of it because of the time difference too, so uncle, don’t forget, you’re not the only one who can enter that ruin!" Li Fei’er reminded.
Ling Feng nodded: "I know, rest assured, I will go back there again soon!"
The two of them left home talking and headed straight for the newly built village committee office.
Upon arrival, they found that many people were already there, all residents of Shiliu Village.
Although the new village was completed, it was not yet habitable; they had to wait a few days, so Ling Feng was very curious as to why everyone had come back.
When the villagers saw Ling Feng, they immediately cheered and crowded around.
"Ling Feng, you’re back at last; everyone’s been waiting for you!"
"Yeah, you’re finally back!"
People were talking all at once. Ling Feng, utterly confused, scratched his head and asked, "What are you waiting for me for?"
"Come inside and then we’ll talk!"
Ling Feng was directly surrounded by a group of people and brought into the village committee office’s meeting room.
Li Yumei, upon hearing Ling Feng had returned, also quickly arrived.
Then she said to Ling Feng: "Everyone wants to talk to you about something. Actually, it’s all about one issue. They want you to start a project to lead everyone to prosperity!"
"Ah, is that what this is about?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked: "Doesn’t Jiaolan have any projects lined up?"
"There was one, but it won’t start until next year. Everyone’s eager because they moved into new houses, but then found themselves with nothing to do, so they’re anxious!" Li Yumei said helplessly.
"Is that the situation?"
Ling Feng also felt helpless, but on second thought, it made sense. The common folks of Shiliu Village hadn’t really reaped much benefit from him, just new houses.
But now, aside from farming, people could only find sporadic work at his breeding farm and vegetable greenhouses, and not even on a daily basis.
People were in need of a stable income.
Considering this, Ling Feng smiled and told the crowd, "Don’t worry, I will come up with a solution right away. I’ll make sure everyone in our village gets a salary every month!"
"That would be great!"
"We knew Ling Feng could figure something out!"
"Ling Feng, you’re now our mainstay!"
The crowd buzzed with joy, showering him with nothing but praise.
Ling Feng just smiled: "Don’t say things like that. I’m so busy now, even if I have ideas, it’s up to Yu Mei to execute them. She’s the Village Chief. If you’re going to thank someone, thank her!"
With that reminder, people realized they had neglected Li Yumei and quickly turned to praise her as well.
Li Yumei looked at Ling Feng gratefully and said with a smile, "Enough talk, everyone. Ling Feng has promised you, and soon there will be projects landing in our village. Go back home for now, and I’ll let you know when it’s time!"
After the villagers left, the village committee office quickly quieted down.
Ling Feng looked at Li Yumei: "Don’t you find the job of Village Chief exhausting?"
"Not at all, I actually find it very fulfilling!" Li Yumei said with a smile.
Ling Feng: "Really? If it gets tiring, don’t push yourself too hard. Just tell me."
Li Yumei nodded seriously: "Really, I used to live day by day, but now I feel like I’ve found myself and discovered my own value. So, I really like this job!"
"That’s good to hear, but don’t wear yourself out too much!" Ling Feng said.
"With my current constitution, it’s hard to even feel tired!" Li Yumei said with a laugh.
Ling Feng smiled: "Okay then, as long as you like it. By the way, about that project, do you have any thoughts?"
"I do have an idea, but I’m not sure if it’s feasible. I was waiting for you to make the decision!"
Li Yumei nodded, then walked towards the office.
Ling Feng and Li Fei’er followed her inside. After sitting down, Li Yumei took out a piece of paper and said with a shy smile, "My idea might be a bit half-baked, don’t make fun of me, Feng."
"What are you talking about? How could I make fun of you?"
Ling Feng laughed, took the paper, and started to read it carefully.
