Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Hundred Wood Eye

"Where do you plan to build the cattle barn?"

"I'm not very familiar with this. Where do you think would be a good location?"

Miss Lin said, "It's better to build it downwind. If you're raising cows with a strong odor, it can prevent the smell from bothering you."

This gave Li Cunxu a reminder: don't raise cows with strong odors; otherwise, raising them would be a torment for the nose.

Fragrant dairy cows are a good choice. Not only is the milk they produce rich in aroma, but they also have a pleasant grassy fragrance, and the best part is they're cheap, around fifty thousand per head.

It's just that these cows are hard to buy because few people raise them.

Why do so few people raise aromatic dairy cows despite their many advantages? Because they have high requirements for pasture quality; if the pasture quality doesn't meet the demand, they don't produce milk.

The cost of buying high-quality pasture often exceeds the money earned from selling fragrant milk, causing an income and expense imbalance.

No rancher wants to do a losing business, so naturally, fewer people raise aromatic dairy cows.

Li Cunxu doesn't have this concern as he possesses the Fertile Pasture talent, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality pasture.

Lin Xiaoxuan began her construction work. She buried a seed in the soil, stepped back several meters, and her eyes changed color. The black pupils turned green, and the center of the pupil transformed into a wooden glyph.

"Hundred Wood Eye."

Li Cunxu immediately realized her origin; she is from the Senmu Lin Family.

The Senmu Lin Family ranks fourth among the top ten families in Tongdu, and it is the family with the largest population in Tongdu.

Their bloodline talent is quite special. Unlike other bloodline talents that are difficult to awaken, theirs is extremely easy to awaken and even can be advanced.

The advancement chain of the Senmu Lin Family's bloodline talent: Hundred Wood Eye (Green) — Thousand Forest Eye (Blue) — Ten Thousand Forest Eye (Purple).

Lin Xiaoxuan's eyes shimmered with a life-filled green light, and the seed buried in the soil quickly germinated and grew, rising out of the ground.

Thick vines writhed like pythons, quickly constructing the framework of the cattle barn. The main vine branched into smaller vines, which intertwined to form neatly arranged wooden planks, combining into a roof to shield against the elements.

Lin Xiaoxuan replicated the process, creating a warehouse and a wooden house, and even took the opportunity to repair the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter's wooden house.

Li Cunxu inspected the wooden house and found the structure very elegant. Inside, there were several wooden chairs and a wicker chair, saving the cost of buying seating. The master bedroom also had a wooden bed, only needing a mattress to move in and sleep. Of course, if you're not picky, you can move in and sleep right away.

The clear sky suddenly dimmed, and dark clouds gathered.

Li Cunxu looked at the sky, and recalling the frequent thunderstorms on the Muye Plain, he said with some regret, "I was so focused on the wooden house being affordable, I forgot it's not resistant to lightning."

"No need to worry about that."

Lin Xiaoxuan clapped her hands. "Cyan Wood Ape, come out and get to work."

A Cyan Wood Ape, its body entwined with vines and arms long, was summoned.

The Cyan Wood Ape returned to the car, retrieved two buckets of paint from the back seat, skillfully opened them, took out a brush, and climbed onto the roof to apply the paint.

Li Cunxu was a little puzzled; the paint was transparent. What was the point of applying it?

Lin Xiaoxuan noticed Li Cunxu's confusion. "This is Lightning Protection Paint. Once applied, it prevents the house from being struck by lightning and catching fire."

Li Cunxu gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Professional!"

Lin Xiaoxuan smiled happily.

Suddenly, Li Cunxu wondered, since Lin Xiaoxuan was so professional, had she been to many ranches to build structures?

"Miss Lin, are you familiar with the ranches around here?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxuan's expression darkened. "Familiar: I can't take city business, so I pick up small jobs in the suburbs. How could I not be familiar?"

"Miss Lin, you're young and promising, and you've awakened the Hundred Wood Eye. You're sure to achieve great things. By the way, Miss Lin, do you know which nearby ranch has aromatic dairy cows?"

Li Cunxu comforted her and then smoothly asked his question.

"Aromatic dairy cows? Why are you asking about that? Do you plan to raise them?" Lin Xiaoxuan asked.

Li Cunxu nodded.

Lin Xiaoxuan, understanding fragrant dairy cows well, advised, "Aromatic dairy cows are a trap; they're very precious and only produce milk if they eat good pasture. Only wealthy families or large groups can afford to raise them."

Li Cunxu said, "My talent is Fertile Pasture."

Lin Xiaoxuan was astonished, "You actually awakened this famous breeder talent. No wonder you want to raise aromatic dairy cows."

There is a well-known show in the league called "I Love Talent." This program introduces talents, but with millions of different talents, one show can't cover them all, so it focuses on the top-tier talents.

Fertile Pasture has been featured on this show.

Lin Xiaoxuan said, "I have an uncle whose farm has aromatic dairy cows. I'll ask if he's willing to sell."

Having said that, Lin Xiaoxuan pulled out her phone and called her uncle.

"Uncle, doesn't your ranch have a few aromatic dairy cows?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Someone wants to buy them. How many aromatic dairy cows do you have?"

"There are..."

The voice on the other end was hesitant.

From his tone, Lin Xiaoxuan sensed her uncle didn't want to sell.

"Uncle, your aromatic dairy cows aren't producing milk or calves, so why hang on to them?"

"Ah~ just keeping them~~" Uncle couldn't find a reason for his words.

Lin Xiaoxuan firmly said, "Uncle, sell them quickly, or I'll tell Auntie about this."

Her uncle became anxious, "Why are you interfering with my raising aromatic dairy cows?"

Not to interfere? How would I ever get to drink fresh aromatic milk?

Lin Xiaoxuan recalled the fragrant fresh milk she drank as a child and swallowed in greed.

Lin Xiaoxuan playfully pleaded, "Uncle, please sell them, will you?"

On the other end of the phone, Uncle shivered, "Fine, fine, Xiaoxuan! Don't act cute without reason. It's downright eerie in broad daylight."

Grinning, Lin Xiaoxuan said to Li Cunxu, "It's done."

Li Cunxu expressed his gratitude, "Thank you."

Lin Xiaoxuan said, "If you truly want to thank me, reserve some milk for me when your aromatic cows start producing."

"Alright."

Lin Xiaoxuan and Li Cunxu exchanged 'favors,' and then Lin Xiaoxuan shared her uncle's ranch address with Li Cunxu.

"Lightning protection paint emits some harmful gases to humans. It's best to ventilate for three days before moving in; the same applies to the barn."

After saying this, Lin Xiaoxuan put on her sunglasses, floored the gas pedal, and the car sped away. In just a few breaths, her speed reached two hundred kilometers per hour.

Li Cunxu wasn't surprised by this sight. Such speed is common in Tongdu, as the Pupil Technique talent often includes dynamic visual abilities.

A speed of 200 km/h appears as only about 20 km/h to dynamic vision, slowed down by ten times.

However, not everyone can drive this fast; you have to be certified to prove that your dynamic vision can handle such speeds. Otherwise, you'll be caught by the police for 'illegally speeding' and given a seven-day educational correction.

Moreover, you can only speed in sparsely populated suburbs; it's prohibited in the city.
