Bai Duoya had always been proud of the large family he had pampered, but this was the first time he experienced the troubles that came with having so many relatives. He initially thought he could solve the problem with money, but before he could even start shopping online, "Earth's Rarity" had sold out and closed indefinitely.
After closing the video call, Bai Duoya found himself cornered at the door by distant relatives and neighbors. Coincidentally, the Violent Old Man had come by to ask for wild fruits. Not only did he enthusiastically invite himself into the house, but he also boasted that Bai Duoya was a good friend of Yezi, implying that there was no way he couldn't buy any. With the old man present, Bai Duoya felt he couldn't speak up. However, he truly thought these people were crazy; who needed that little bit of fruit when they were rushing to buy something labeled as rare? This also spoke to how well Yezi had marketed it; that glaring golden print made him think that even if their friendship wasn't deep, no one would believe him. Frustrated, Bai Duoya had no choice but to reach out to Yezi.
Xiao Fang was quite critical of her master's passive approach. Brother Bai's video call came at just the right moment. After listening to Bai Duoya's intentions, Yezi, lounging in a rocking chair, smiled without saying a word.
"Money is not a problem!" This was the most pleasant thing Brother Bai had ever said since they met. Xiao Fang blinked her starry eyes and looked at her master with great expectations.
"Little Bai, friends shouldn't talk about money; it's tacky!" Yezi, who had made a fortune with zero cost, truly didn't care about money at this moment.
Xiao Fang thought to herself: What's so tacky about money? We sold out our products and only made 71.5 million tons; we're still far from paying off our debts!
"Little Bai, have you thought about it?" Money couldn't corrupt Yezi; Bai Duoya felt a bit deflated. At this moment, Yezi wanted to say something and asked irritably, "What?"
"My store's business philosophy is that rarity increases value; limited supply means many people will miss out. If everyone who can't buy it goes through you to get it, will you have peaceful days in the future?" Bai Duoya fell into deep thought; Yezi's words made sense.
"Little Bai, how about this? I'll give you 100 pounds of Kiwi so everyone can have a taste. If they want more, they should keep an eye on when 'Earth's Rarity' reopens. Of course, I'll notify you first."
This idea was good; it provided an explanation and spared him from the old man's aggressive behavior. Bai Duoya relaxed and revealed a charming smile on his exquisite face. "Yezi, thank you!"
"No need for thanks; we're friends!" Ha! Most of those who tasted would likely become her potential customers. Even before reopening, she could foresee a booming business.
Friends! Bai Duoya stared blankly as he ended the video call. This friend was someone he had approached himself; he hadn't really taken her seriously before. It seemed that Yezi genuinely treated him as a friend, so perhaps he should treat her better too!
Originally planning to stay at home, Yezhi put on her Bite-Resistant Armor and slung her large Cloth Bag over her shoulder. "Xiao Fang, let's go!" After hearing her owner's business philosophy, Xiao Fang suddenly understood and was now reflecting on herself, not paying attention to Yezhi's actions.
"Master, where are we going?"
"To the mountains to pick wild fruits, just as you wished!"
With a joyful "Yay!", Xiao Fang dashed ahead. Yezhi kicked the Black Treasure lying on the Big Wooden Platform, and its little black eyes immediately lit up. "Mama Bear," it thought, this means she is taking it out to play. Overjoyed, Black Treasure wiggled its round bottom and followed Yezhi outside. The two white geese wanted to join as well, but Yezhi quickly closed the yard gate and urged Black Treasure, who had turned back upon hearing the geese honking.
Entering the deep mountain forest for the first time, Black Treasure found everything new and exciting. Even when it saw a beautiful flower, it opened its mouth in delight for quite a while.
Like a country bumpkin entering the city, Black Treasure made Yezhi feel a pang of sadness. The great forest was supposed to be Black Treasure's home, yet now it was confined to a small yard every day.
Xiao Fang emitted exploratory light and reported that there were patches of various wild fruits among the bushes ahead. Leading Black Treasure, Yezhi walked under the Persimmon tree and the Asian Pear tree, picking a bunch of fruits for Black Treasure to feast on.
Black Treasure pounced on the pile of wild fruits like a hungry wolf, happily humming while eating! It had truly been wronged during this period of food scarcity; after wild fruits became commodities, Black Treasure could only long for them. If it weren't for Yezhi feeding it a "Nutrient" every three days and having Xiao Fang purchase two large bags of compressed nutritional pet biscuits, Black Treasure would have likely starved thin by now.
"Master, there's Kiwi over there!" Xiao Fang shouted, pointing at a spot where a group of wild chickens gathered.
Yezhi instructed Xiao Fang to keep an eye on Black Treasure and walked forward alone. Her arrival startled the wild chickens into flight. Wrapping her arms around a sturdy tree trunk, she tried to climb up by coiling her legs around it. The cracked bark rubbed painfully against her hands; despite her efforts, she couldn't climb more than one meter off the ground. Sweating profusely, she struggled to recall her last experience climbing a tree—there didn't seem to be much to learn from it.
At that moment, after finishing its delicious wild fruits, Black Treasure ran to the base of the tree and attempted to climb like Yezhi. Once it reached above her, it turned around happily to look at her.
Afraid of being laughed at by Black Treasure, Yezhi gave up on climbing. After wiping away her sweat with her sleeve, she clapped her hands in praise: "Black Treasure is amazing!" Receiving praise from "Mama Bear," Black Treasure felt proud and climbed even higher.
"Master, do you think Black Treasure can help us pick Kiwi?" Xiao Fang thought it was incredible that her master could climb trees last time but felt heartbroken this time that she couldn't.
With a mindset of giving it a try, Yezhi waved her hand to call Black Treasure down. Then, she hopped under the tree and picked two deep green Kiwis, laying them out in front of Black Treasure. Black Treasure glanced at them and opened its long mouth to enjoy the fruit. "Black Treasure, there are many more on the tree; go pick some."
Black Treasure shook its large head and nodded repeatedly. Yezhi wasn't sure if it understood, but anyway, Black Treasure had already started climbing up the trunk of the towering tree. It saw the green vines laden with fruit and roughly tugged at the vines, wrapping them around its plump body as it pulled them down.
Watching the vines being ravaged by Black Treasure, Yezhi felt both pleased with its capability and worried about damaging the growth environment of the Kiwis. With a sigh, she picked more deep green fruits and placed them into a burlap sack.
Black Treasure wanted to help further, but Yezhi didn't dare call this clumsy creature up again and had to think of another way... perhaps she could ride on Black Treasure's back.
Yezhi unceremoniously instructed Black Treasure to crouch down and sat on its shoulder. "Black Treasure, take it slow!" Sitting steadily on Black Treasure's shoulder, Yezhi's laughter rang like silver bells through the forest. Xiao Fang also laughed happily while exploring new Kiwi resources; since she couldn't reach high places, she had to look for several spots.
Yezhi patted her sore arms and affectionately stroked Black Treasure's fluffy round ears when suddenly she exclaimed in pain.
"Master, you were ambushed by a Squirrel again!" Xiao Fang pointed at the towering Red Pine and laughed.
Yezhi jumped down from Black Treasure's shoulder and slyly directed it to climb the tree to pick Pine Cones. "Black Treasure, yes! Knock down those Pine Cones." Yezhi shouted instructions to Black Treasure as a small Squirrel perched on a high branch prepared to attack her, dragging its big tail and glaring angrily at Black Treasure with its dark eyes.
Leaning against the Old Pine Tree, Yezhi munched on an Asian Pear while looking up proudly. Meanwhile, obediently following Yezhi's commands, Black Treasure hugged the tree trunk with one hand while pulling and tugging with the other. Pine Cones as big as fists fell down with loud thuds. After finishing her pear, Yezhi took an empty sack from her large Cloth Bag and quickly filled it with Pine Cones. At that moment, several wild chickens darted out from the forest. Yezhi paused her work and caught one using her new Beast Binding Rope.
It wasn't until sunset that Yezhi, satisfied with a wild chicken in hand and accompanied by Black Treasure carrying two full burlap sacks, returned to the village. However, at the entrance of Zhoujiatun village, two Stagecoaches were parked, surrounded by many people who were staring at her and Black Treasure with strange expressions.
Yezhi was puzzled; where did these outsiders come from?
