This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 487 392: Three Bachelors

Suburbs of Xidu City, a Magic Beast Farm.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the farm is almost empty.

All the employees have gone back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. Only a few living in Xidu City come by occasionally.

In past years, it was only Boss Pang, a solitary soul, left to guard the place.

Fortunately, this year, he wasn't so lonely.

"To Li Pu."

Half lying on a comfy sofa, Boss Pang raised his glass.

[Cheers, Boss Grass!]

A grass man was standing at the back, massaging his shoulders.

Usually, this was the hardest time for him, having to manage all the farm's affairs alone. Not only could he not complete everything, but he was also utterly exhausted.

Now, things were better, with this group of green helpers.

The grass man army had taken over all the work.

After the New Year, he planned to observe for a while before deciding whether to lay off some of his staff.

To reward these grass men, Boss Pang specially arranged for two truckloads of soda from the city.

Because he heard from Teacher Guan that they seemed to love soda most.

As it turned out, the information was incorrect.

It seemed only Li Pu's grass men liked soda. His own wouldn't touch it.

Actually, Boss Pang didn't know that whether the grass men liked soda was beside the point. They didn't touch the soda because they didn't dare.

When Li Pu's grass men were around, anyone curious enough to try touching their soda would get beat up.

Once such authority was established, even now without the grass men, they wouldn't dare.

This left Boss Pang rather pitiful, having to finish all the soda himself.

Not sure if he'd end up with diabetes after the New Year.

But it was also quite apt, as this act of drinking soda helped him establish a level of authority in the grass man army, just below the grass men themselves.

In their eyes, only absolute strong individuals are fit to drink soda.

Thus, unknowingly, commanding them became much easier for Boss Pang.

Watching TV in the office and drinking soda, time passed quickly.

As it approached dusk, a figure walked into his office.

"Thanks for your hard work, Teacher Guan."

Boss Pang immediately stood up to welcome him with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Guan Heshi's face looked slightly weary.

You know, just today alone he performed over 30 transformations for the farm's magic beasts.

"It's New Year's Eve and you're still here at the farm. I feel a bit guilty."

Boss Pang poured a glass of soda.

"I can't help it, next semester I won't be here, so I'm taking advantage of the winter holiday to help you more."

Guan Heshi glanced at the soda on the table but didn't drink it; he didn't like sweet drinks.

"Haha, I hope things go smoothly for you over at the Imperial Capital."

Boss Pang offered his blessing.

"Hopefully so."

Guan Heshi looked a bit gloomy.

If he knew earlier that the head teacher was going along for the exchange, he wouldn't have helped Li Pu apply.

That's right, Xidu University's exchange system is a bit different from the Imperial Capital's.

Besides the teacher who applied, if more than half of their exchange students are approved, then the head teacher also needs to go along.

You should know Guan Heshi only has one student under his wing. Li Pu isn't just over half; he's a full 100 percent.

"Come on, I booked a festive dinner delivered from a big restaurant."

"Let's have a few drinks, us two lonely fellows."

Seeing that the time was about right, Boss Pang took Guan Heshi to the canteen.

"Alright."

Guan Heshi wasn't too fond of the term 'lonely fellow.'

But he couldn't deny he was just like Boss Pang, without family.

Of course, he didn't have a partner either, which was the most heart-breaking.

The two chatted casually as they quickly arrived at the canteen not far from the office building.

By this time, several grass men were already busy in the canteen.

Some were wiping tables, others were moving tables and chairs, and some were serving dishes.

"Uh... Boss Pang, how much food did you order?"

Guan Heshi looked at the long table pieced together and dozens of chairs, suddenly feeling a bit lost.

"Don't worry, there's definitely enough for us to eat."

"And we definitely won't finish it all, it's about abundance every year."

"Let them join us at the table too, to liven things up."

"Considering it's New Year."

Boss Pang patted his shoulder, knowing what he was wondering.

"But with all those eyes watching us eat, it's awkward."

Guan Heshi said.

"Otherwise, we can't let them join us at the table, right?"

"My grass men eat natural fertilizer soil."

Boss Pang explained.

"That's indeed not appropriate..."

Guan Heshi instinctively touched his nose.

The natural fertilizer at this farm wasn't ordinary fertilizer; it was from the magic beasts, and it smelled strong.

"Hmm?"

But just then, he finally noticed a grass man that seemed completely out of place.

All the other grass men were busy, except it was sitting there like a lord, holding a bottle of soda in its hand.

Judging from its posture, it looked like it was supervising while enjoying a drink.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't slack off."

Boss Pang happened to spot the grass man too, and immediately scolded.

[Grass?]

However, that grass man remained unmoved, merely glancing over.

"Uh, Teacher Guan, was I just looked down upon by a grass man?"

Boss Pang felt a bit displeased.

After all, he's a summoner, no worse than being looked down upon by a grass man, right?
