"Where do you plan to build the cow shed?"
"I'm not very familiar with this. Where do you think would be the best location?"
Lin Xiaoxuan said, "It's better to build it downwind. If you raise cows with a strong odor, it will prevent you from being overwhelmed by the smell."
This reminded Li Cunxu not to raise cows with a strong odor, as it would be torture for the nose.
Fragrant Milk Cows were a good option. Not only did they produce rich and aromatic milk, but they also had a pleasant grassy scent. Most importantly, they were affordable, costing around 50,000 each.
However, these cows were hard to come by, as few people raised them.
Why were Fragrant Milk Cows, with so many advantages, rarely raised? Because they had high demands for pasture. If the quality of the pasture didn't meet their needs, they wouldn't produce milk.
The cost of purchasing high-quality pasture often exceeded the income from selling Fragrant Milk, leading to an imbalance between income and expenditure.
It was a losing business, and ranchers were unwilling to take the risk, which naturally led to fewer people raising Fragrant Milk Cows.
Li Cunxu didn't have this concern, as he had the talent of Bountiful Pasture and wasn't short of high-quality pasture.
Lin Xiaoxuan began her construction work. She buried a seed in the soil, stepped back a dozen meters, and her eyes changed color. Her black pupils turned green, with the center forming a character for "wood."
"Hundred Wood Eyes."
Li Cunxu immediately understood her background—she was from the Senmu Lin family.
The Senmu Lin family ranked fourth among the top ten families in Pupil City and was the most populous family in the city.
The bloodline talent of the Senmu Lin family was quite unique. Unlike other bloodline talents that were difficult to awaken, theirs was very easy to awaken and could even advance.
The advancement chain of the Senmu Lin family's bloodline talent was: Hundred Wood Eyes (green) — Thousand Forest Eyes (blue) — Ten Thousand Forest Eyes (purple).
Lin Xiaoxuan's eyes glowed with a vibrant green light, and the seed buried in the soil quickly sprouted and grew, rising from the ground.
Thick vines, like pythons, wriggled and soon formed the framework of the cow shed. The main vines branched out into smaller vines, which coiled and curled to form neatly arranged wooden planks, creating a roof to shield against wind, rain, and the scorching sun.
Lin Xiaoxuan followed the same method to create a warehouse and a wooden house, and she also took the opportunity to repair the wooden house of the Mech Hunter.
Li Cunxu went inside the wooden house to take a look. The structure was quite beautiful, with several wooden chairs and a rattan chair inside, saving the cost of buying chairs. The master bedroom had a wooden bed, and all it needed was a mattress to be ready for sleeping. Of course, if one didn't mind the hardness, it was already suitable for sleeping.
The clear sky suddenly darkened, and clouds gathered.
Li Cunxu looked at the uncooperative sky and remembered that thunderstorms were frequent in the Pastoral Plains. He felt a bit annoyed and said, "I was so focused on the affordability of wooden houses that I forgot they aren't resistant to lightning."
"No need to worry about that."
Lin Xiaoxuan clapped her hands, "Greenwood Ape, come out and get to work."
A Greenwood Ape, with vines wrapped around its body and long arms, was summoned.
The Greenwood Ape returned to the car, carried two buckets of paint from the back seat, skillfully opened the paint, took out a brush, climbed onto the roof, and started painting.
Li Cunxu was puzzled. The paint was transparent—what was the point of painting it?
Lin Xiaoxuan noticed Li Cunxu's confusion and explained, "This is Lightning Protection Paint. Once applied, it prevents the house from being struck by lightning and protects it from fire."
Li Cunxu gave a thumbs up and praised, "Professional!"
Lin Xiaoxuan smiled happily.
Suddenly, Li Cunxu thought that since Lin Xiaoxuan was so professional, she must have visited many ranches for construction work.
"Miss Lin, are you familiar with the surrounding ranches?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxuan's expression darkened. "Familiar? When you can't secure business in the city, you have to pick up small jobs in the suburbs. How could I not be familiar?"
"Miss Lin, you're young and capable, and you've awakened the Hundred Wood Eyes. You're bound to achieve great things in the future. By the way, Miss Lin, do you know which nearby ranch has Fragrant Milk Cows?" Li Cunxu comforted her and took the opportunity to ask his question.
"Fragrant Milk Cows? Why are you asking about that? Do you want to raise them?" Lin Xiaoxuan inquired.
Li Cunxu nodded.
Lin Xiaoxuan, who was familiar with Fragrant Milk Cows, advised, "Fragrant Milk Cows are a money pit. They're extremely expensive and only produce milk if they're fed high-quality pasture. Only wealthy families or large corporations can afford to raise them."
Li Cunxu replied, "My talent is Bountiful Pasture."
Lin Xiaoxuan exclaimed in surprise, "You've awakened that famous Breeder talent! No wonder you want to raise Fragrant Milk Cows."
There was a well-known show in the alliance called "I Love Talents," which introduced various talents. However, with millions of talents out there, one show couldn't cover them all, so it focused on the most exceptional ones. Bountiful Pasture had been featured on this show.
Lin Xiaoxuan said, "I have an uncle who owns Fragrant Milk Cows. I'll ask him if he's willing to sell them."
With that, Lin Xiaoxuan took out her phone and called her uncle.
"Third Uncle, do you have a few Fragrant Milk Cows on your ranch?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Someone wants to buy them. How many do you have?"
"There are..."
The voice on the other end of the line hesitated.
From his tone, Lin Xiaoxuan could tell that her Third Uncle didn't want to sell.
"Third Uncle, your Fragrant Milk Cows neither produce milk nor breed. What are you keeping them for?"
"Ah~ keeping them~" Third Uncle struggled to come up with a reason.
Lin Xiaoxuan insisted, "Third Uncle, sell them quickly, or I'll tell Third Aunt about this."
Third Uncle panicked, "Why are you meddling in my Fragrant Milk Cow business?"
If you don't, how can I get fresh Fragrant Milk?
Lin Xiaoxuan recalled the fragrant fresh milk she had as a child and swallowed her saliva in anticipation.
Lin Xiaoxuan cooed, "Third Uncle, just sell them, okay?"
Third Uncle on the other end of the line shivered, "Alright, alright, Xiaoxuan! Don't act cute in broad daylight; it's creepy."
Lin Xiaoxuan giggled and said to Li Cunxu, "Done."
Li Cunxu thanked her, "Thank you."
Lin Xiaoxuan replied, "If you really want to thank me, reserve a portion for me when the Fragrant Milk Cows produce milk."
"Sure."
Lin Xiaoxuan and Li Cunxu exchanged 'trust tokens,' and then Lin Xiaoxuan shared the address of her Third Uncle's ranch with Li Cunxu.
"Lightning Protection Paint emits some gases that are harmful to the human body. It's best to ventilate for three days before moving in. The same goes for the cow shed."
After saying this, Lin Xiaoxuan put on her sunglasses, stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward. In a few breaths, her speed had reached 200 mph.
Li Cunxu wasn't surprised by this. Such speeds were common in Pupil City, as Pupil Technique talents usually came with dynamic vision abilities.
At 200 mph, it felt like 20 mph in the eyes of dynamic vision, slowed down by ten times.
However, not everyone can drive at such high speeds. You must obtain a certification proving that your dynamic vision can handle the rapid pace; otherwise, you could be arrested by traffic police for "illegal speeding" and subjected to a seven-day corrective education program.
Moreover, such high-speed driving is only permitted in sparsely populated suburban areas and is strictly prohibited within city limits.
