Chapter 713 - 312: Unleashing the Construction Wave in Xuanhe Town!

January 1st, Monday.

Sunny.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Sprite’s body grows larger day by day, her thick white fur swaying with the wind as she runs, blending seamlessly into the boundless snowy landscape.

The entire snowy ground serves as the best camouflage for a Winter Dog.

If it were a wild Winter Dog, it would use the snow to perfectly hide its figure, quietly lying in the snow, waiting for prey to pass by.

At that moment, the Winter Dog’s muscles tense, like an arrow leaving the bow, catching unsuspecting prey unawares in the hunt.

But in Xuanhe Town, the carefree Sprite doesn’t have to worry about food and survival. Her daily task is to eat well, drink well, sleep well, and grow up healthily.

Playing and tussling with the Puppy Team is one of Sprite’s few entertainment activities.

When the Puppy Team leads Sprite into this bustling area, the steam of the hot springs hides among the trees, the sound of pickaxes rises and falls, and the air no longer carries the tense smell of gunpowder.

The blueprint spreads out on a makeshift wooden table, lines sketching the neatly arranged Beastmaster Office, the smooth curves of the Pet Beast Hospital, and the scattered outlines of residences surrounding the future hot spring core area.

Zhang Hao, wearing a safety helmet, stands in front of the table, gently biting the pen, suddenly smiling with relief, as if solving a problem, casually tossing the pen onto the table: "Alright, let’s do it this way."

"Prioritize building residential housing, the Beastmaster Office and Pet Beast Hospital can wait."

Pausing, he chuckles: "We must prioritize people’s first needs."

Since the news of setting up the town spread, many nearby villagers moved to Xuanhe Town, attempting to join this wave of thriving development.

With more people, the original residential houses quickly became insufficient, making the construction of more residences urgent.

After confirming the basic plan, Zhang Hao steps out of the makeshift shelter, taking in the bustling construction scene with hands behind his back, embodying a leadership demeanor: "Truly a scene of thriving vitality."

"Woof woof!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Suddenly, the barking breaks Zhang Hao’s reverie. Turning his head, he sees the Puppy Team members sprinting across the snowy ground toward the construction site.

Zhang Hao quickly steps forward, spreading his arms to stop them: "Construction is ongoing ahead, play somewhere else."

"Chirp?"

Sprite, full of curiosity, tilts her head, glances at the bustling construction site, then shakes her head, deciding to turn away.

As the Puppy Team departs, Zhang Hao nods slightly, preparing to comfort the hardworking construction workers when a familiar roar reaches his ears.

"Hoo-ah hoo-ah!"

A group of golden figures, like a golden wave, surges toward them with agile figures, quickly traversing the woods, nearing Zhang Hao in no time.

Surveying the bustling construction scene, their molten gold vertical pupils are filled with surprise and curiosity.

"So many monkeys!" A worker, startled by the sudden appearance of Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, falls to the ground in panic.

Zhang Hao remains calm, waving his hand: "Don’t be afraid, they’re here to help."

Then, Zhang Hao walks towards the Monkey King with a confident smile, a calm voice following: "Monkey, have you resolved your issues?"

Two days have passed since the hot spring incident.

After the incident, the Blazing Giant, beaten by the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, was forced to admit wrongdoing, promising not to disrupt the hot springs again.

For the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, Zhang Hao pondered for a long time before making a decision: with only about twenty Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, a medium-scale group, Xuanhe Town’s current financial resources can easily meet their survival needs.

Simply put, Xuanhe Town will cover their food and accommodation, while the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys join this wave of construction and help maintain the hot springs in the future, driving away troublesome wild Pet Beasts.

Additionally, the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys can continue to use the hot springs.

They focus on the West District of Xuanhe Town, while the Puppy Team will handle the East District.

This way, Xuanhe Town only needs to provide shelter and food to recruit a group of strong Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, directly enhancing security.

According to Zhang Hao’s long-term plan, they can develop the town’s Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys into a trademark, continuously spreading influence and attracting more Beastmasters.

Advisor Chen’s hometown, the Qinling Riding Tournament, and the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, are the three representative icons of Xuanhe Town.

Zhang Hao’s proposal received everyone’s approval, and the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys agreed as well.

Thus, the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys have been busy relocating their stored food to the territory Zhang Hao planned for them over the past few days.

"Hoo-ah."

Faced with Zhang Hao’s inquiry, the Monkey King nods lightly, then gazes towards the center of the construction site, filled with the roar of machinery and bustling figures, making a questioning growl.

What do they need to do?

"I really appreciate Monkey’s straightforward and frank nature." Zhang Hao grins, giving a thumbs up, his voice following, "Just help with transporting things."

Wood is an important construction material for Xuanhe Town’s West District. Workers carry chainsaws, accompanied by Pet Beasts skilled in cutting trees, into the dense forest, with the roar of machinery and Pet Beast cries echoing above the forest.

In terms of cutting trees, Pet Beasts are far more efficient than the workers.

For example, the Steel-type Pet Beast brought by the construction crew, known as the Giant Jaw Shovel Beast, lightly swings its scythe-like forelimbs at the tree in front, with the sharp sound of wood fibers tearing, its serrated jaws easily cutting into the tree trunk.
