Chapter 90 - 88: The Reason the Mission Was Not Completed

Chapter 90: Chapter 88: The Reason the Mission Was Not Completed

At the medical Research Institute in the provincial capital, Xing Yushu looked at the latest test report, his mind filled with questions.

"Professor Xing, these pills are just a form of the Medicinal Tea from Lin Xian Village, right?"

"Yes."

"If you had told us earlier, we wouldn’t have needed to run tests. We already have all the test data here, including for the pills."

Xing Yushu wanted to explain that he had received these pills directly from their creator, but he decided against it.

"My apologies for troubling you. Regarding the Medicinal Tea and the pills, have you had any research breakthroughs?"

"No. In fact, it’s not just us. Many pharmaceutical corporations have analyzed this Medicinal Tea and these pills, but none of them have figured anything out.

Professor Xing, if you want to understand the principles behind them, your only option is to go to Lin Xian Village and ask."

"I understand. Thank you."

"Don’t mention it, Professor Xing."

After leaving the Research Institute, he looked at the remaining pills in his hand and gave a wry smile.

’Oh well. As long as it can help patients, that’s what matters.’

After a moment’s thought, he made a call to the Imperial Capital to check on the progress of the review.

When he learned that it was still going through the official process, he didn’t push it. Some procedures had to be followed; it was a safeguard for everyone involved.

Thinking about the environment in Lin Xian Village, he decided against returning directly to the Imperial Capital. Instead, he got in a car and headed toward Lin Xian Village.

「...」

When the Wuyuan County Government learned that Lin Feng had agreed to sell poultry using Lin Xian Village as a platform, they immediately sprang into action.

The news spread quickly through Wuyuan County. Learning that free-range poultry could be sold via Lin Xian Village’s channels, many people started to get interested.

The news about tourists in Lin Xian Village rushing to buy poultry the day before was still trending online.

Everyone saw the tourist demand for it, and some people with connections to Lin Feng started calling him to ask about it.

Ma Dehua was ecstatic. As soon as he learned that Lin Feng had agreed to help with the sales, he started writing a report to his superiors, applying to build a poultry farm.

Some people from nearby, hearing that tourists liked to buy free-range poultry, all rushed over with their own birds.

Only after they arrived did they realize the situation was completely different from what they had imagined. The tourists would only look; very few actually bought anything.

Someone finally asked the tourists and found out the reason: they couldn’t distinguish the free-range poultry from regular birds, and since someone had been scammed the night before, they were too afraid to buy.

They learned that unless Boss Lin vouched for the poultry, no one was willing to buy.

Some people started looking for connections, hoping to contact Lin Feng and get him to help them sell their poultry.

Lin Feng hadn’t expected things to move so fast. He was left a little speechless when he got the call from Ma Dehua.

"Uncle Ma, this isn’t going to work. Otherwise, we’ll have people showing up to sell their poultry every single day."

"I know. What do you think of this? We can set up a poultry market at the entrance to Lin Xian Village.

Anyone who wants to sell can go directly to this market, and then I’ll have people supervise it."

"Uncle Ma, that could easily lead to problems. It’ll be trouble if fakes get mixed in."

"Let’s see if they dare. Anyone who wants to sell inside will have to register, and their poultry will get a registration number.

Every transaction will have to be photographed by a supervisor. Anyone caught selling fakes will be severely punished."

Lin Feng was surprised that Uncle Ma had thought of this. ’As long as the poultry is traceable, it really does seem like it could solve the issue with fakes.’

"Uncle Ma, that’s actually a great idea."

"Haha, I just learned it from the slaughterhouses. They stamp and tag everything they process."

"In that case, Uncle Ma, you give it a try first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll figure something else out."

’Actually, as long as there are guarantees in place, the poultry should sell even without him lending his name to it.

Of course, without the tourists from Lin Xian Village, it would be difficult to get this business off the ground. Getting people to trust it is not an easy task in itself.

As long as Uncle Ma sticks with this method long-term, once a good reputation is built, people will naturally start coming to buy.

Wuyuan County alone goes through a lot each day, not to mention the market in Jiangcheng City.

Once the market takes shape and its reputation spreads, I’m confident people will be drawn to it.’

Having dealt with the poultry sales problem, Lin Feng decided to head into the mountains. He wanted to figure out why the task related to animal food still wasn’t complete.

He had already instructed his employees to use drones to airdrop food into the surrounding mountains, but the task remained incomplete.

This led him to wonder if the task’s incompletion was related to the recently migrated wild boars and bears. He hadn’t provided any food for those two species.

’Logically, they shouldn’t be short on food, not with so many other animals around.’

He hadn’t even reached the village entrance when Hu Zhiming stopped him.

"What is it?"

"Brother Lin, weren’t you looking for chefs for the Restaurant? Someone contacted me and said a team of chefs wants to come over.

However, this team of chefs wants to lease the Restaurant directly and pay us an annual rent."

"Lease it? No, forget it. We’ll run this Restaurant ourselves."

’Outsiders don’t know the true potential of the Restaurant, so they might think leasing it is a good idea. If I agreed, I’d be a complete fool.

In the future, there will definitely be many recipes, like the Jade Wine and Medicinal Cuisine, that will need to be made at the Restaurant.’

"So I should just reject them outright?"

"Yes, reject them directly. None of our buildings here are available for outside leasing."

"I understand now."

’The fact that the buildings could be upgraded meant that letting anyone else get involved was out of the question.’

"By the way, Daoist Qi said that if you have a moment, you should head over to the square."

"Alright, I’ll go over now."

Lin Feng arrived at the square and saw the Land God Temple under construction. It was already mostly complete.

He found Qi Yangming, who was directing the work, and asked, "Daoist Qi, you were looking for me?"

"Come and take a look. This is the image for the ’God of Fortune and Virtue.’ Are you satisfied with it?"

Lin Feng looked at the picture on his phone and said, "I don’t know anything about this. You can make the decision, Daoist Qi."

"In that case, I’ll pick an auspicious date to have the statue formally installed."

"Daoist Qi, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll follow your lead."

’He was a complete novice in this area, so he certainly wasn’t going to interfere. It might even be related to the Token.

Something as fantastical as the Token had already appeared. And while he considered himself a man of science, he figured that once these mysteries were understood, they could just be considered another branch of science, right?’

After the delay, it was too late to go up the mountain. Lin Feng had no choice but to head back and try to find answers using his drones.

He had thought solving this problem would take a long time, but as it turned out, Professor Zhang Ying arrived with staff from the animal protection department.

"Boss Lin, these are staff members from the animal protection department. They have a few things they’d like to ask you."

"Hello."

The middle-aged man at the front said, "Hello, Boss Lin. We’d like to ask, was it you who distributed the food in the mountain forest?"

"Yes. I asked Professor Zhang Ying about it. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

The man replied, "Of course there’s no problem. We’re very grateful to you for helping these animals, Boss Lin.

It’s just that your distribution method is a bit... unscientific. If you plan to continue, we can send someone to provide you with some guidance, Boss Lin."

"Unscientific? For feeding, isn’t it just a matter of dropping some in each area?"

He truly didn’t get it. He’d thought it was like feeding chickens, where you just toss some food down in an area and call it a day.

The man explained, "Of course not. First, you need to understand the distribution of the animal populations and then provide different types of food according to the different species.

Furthermore, you need to feed them according to certain standards, otherwise it won’t be effective."

Lin Feng suddenly understood. So *that* was why his task hadn’t been completed. This sort of work required professional guidance.

It wasn’t as simple as just airdropping some grain into the forest and calling the animal food problem solved.

Now that he understood the reason, he began to ask the man for detailed instructions on how to properly feed the animals.

’After all, the reward for this task was quite enticing.’
