The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 295 - 293 Preparing to Build the Road
Chapter 295 -293 Preparing to Build the Road
Nian Shutong had already stood up, her fingers lightly resting on Fu Yunhe’s shoulder as she tapped it twice.
“The Tang Family should be the ones worrying, we just need to produce more white sugar.”
“Got it, I will keep an eye on the sugar factory.”
The two parted again, one continued his cultivation, while Nian Shutong wanted to unlock the dog sculpture she had in her hands sooner so that she could have it accompany Fu Yunhe.
Meanwhile, Fu Yunhe returned to the small wooden house, as sitting idly by was not his style.
He began to heavily promote white sugar on the Star Network, touting its affordability and pure taste, generously outputting praises at no cost.
The white sugar in the little store also continued to decrease.
Even though it was only people watching the livestream buying it, that was still a purchasing force of several hundred million people.
They had waited until today to sell because they had been accumulating enough sugar.
Each small pack of white sugar, weighing 200 grams, was enough to last a family for some time.
So as long as they could withstand the initial mad rush of sales, according to the crop harvest times on Blue Star, they would gradually be able to meet demands.
The current reclamation on Blue Star was now entirely operated by machinery. Nian Shutong didn’t know how much money she had poured into it any more; she was certainly poorer for it.
Every day on Blue Star, hundreds of acres of wasteland were cleared, followed by people cleaning up and planting different kinds of seeds.
In another month, farms on Blue Star would be yielding different kinds of crops daily.
A true closed-loop of growth was forming, continuous and unending.
The news that Little River Live began selling sugar quickly reached the Tang family.
Initially, they thought Little River Live faced some restrictions, which explained why the production of white sugar was so low. They wanted to know why but didn’t care much.
But now it was different. Did they really have so much?
And they had also started making brown sugar, which they called “ancient method brown sugar,” and Bai Jingjing’s rock candy.
This was outright stealing their business!
The Tang Family, being a second-class family, was even lower in status than the Chi Family.
The Chi Family had already acknowledged Little River Live’s seed selling; what was the Tang Family to do?
Little River Live was no longer something they could manipulate at will; it was the fifth largest livestream on Star Network, recognized by the Royal Family.
In the end, the Tang Family had no choice but to decide—to research.
Only by figuring out the production method for white sugar could they genuinely salvage this crisis.
But ironically, such a simple task became increasingly complex as the Tang Family dedicated a laboratory to everyday analyses and experiments, only to find themselves further from the solution.
They watched helplessly as Little River Live grew the market for sugar as a food product on an interstellar scale, adding numerous varieties.
Of course, the current state of the Tang Family was still one of anger and helplessness. They didn’t even dare to tarnish Little River Live’s reputation—daring to defy it was like challenging the CCTV of Earth.
They didn’t dare.
So, they had to keep their frustration bottled up.
Fu Yunhe could guess the Tang Family’s frustration to some extent, but besides feeling happy, he had no other thoughts.
“You reap what you sow.”
This was something Nian Shutong had said, and he found it quite apt.
The next day, under the small wooden house, everything operated perfectly—from fieldwork to factory operations.
After returning from his cultivation and having breakfast, Nian Shutong slung her large sword over her shoulder and went to chop trees again.
With each swing of her sword, a large swath of trees fell.
The wood was split into firewood—some used for burning, some stored away for potential future use.
Just as Nian Shutong was easily chopping trees, System Xiao Ba chimed in.
“Congratulations to the host for a successful harvest, the rewards are as follows.”
Nian Shutong paused her chopping, waiting for Xiao Ba to continue. Why had it suddenly gone silent?
She delved into the Sea of Consciousness and managed to catch a glimpse of Xiao Ba engrossed in a TV series.
Internet-addicted teenager, just another addition to the projects.
“Xiao Ba, time to work!”
One sentence from Nian Shutong snapped Xiao Ba into action, but his head still wasn’t turned toward Nian Shutong.
“Host, everything is here, you can check it yourself.”
Having said that, Xiao Ba sat down again and continued watching.
Nian Shutong didn’t bother him; she didn’t know what other people’s systems were like, but felt that it probably wasn’t like her own.
She looked at the list Xiao Ba had handed her; it wasn’t just seeds anymore.
On the list now, it clearly listed rewarded breeding animals, pigs and chickens.
That is to say, she was going to have meat to eat.
The meat she had so far was all brought back by Nian Shutong herself, which she consumed rather quickly, and she couldn’t always come across it, fearing that she might hunt all of them into extinction.

And there were eggs, each time requiring her to search through multiple haystacks to find them.
Now it was perfect, giving her animals she could breed.
As long as she bred enough, she wouldn’t have to worry about meat or eggs.
Apart from pigs and chickens, the system also rewarded her with the seedlings she had always wanted.
Fruits.
Peaches and grapes.
Nian Shutong had previously thought that lollipops were lacking in flavors, but it seemed like even the heavens were helping, sending her two kinds of fruit.
The list also included some other seeds, mostly those of vegetables, listing over a dozen types, plus some grains like mung beans and red beans, all part of the miscellaneous grain category.
Planting these seeds meant that Nian Shutong would hardly lack anything.
She stopped chopping trees and started to stroll around.
Wandering wasn’t the goal, the main purpose was to decide where to build the chicken farm and the pig farm.
Following the knowledge she had learned, roaming pigs and chickens tasted better.
That is to say, she needed to prepare a large space.
And judging by the trend, there would definitely be other animals in the future, like the beef she had eaten.
Thus, the breeding area had to be large.
Initially walking on the ground, Nian Shutong eventually simply flew into the air, overseeing the landscape below.
It needed to be expansive, large, and ideally have a water source.
Nian Shutong flew for a while, combining her knowledge of pig and chicken farming advice and the needed space for future livestock developments, and roughly selected a spot.
Hovering in mid-air, Nian Shutong estimated the distance from this spot to the small wooden house; it was somewhat far.
Clearing this area and caring for these animals in the future would require frequent travel.
It appeared that she needed to build roads.
To connect this place with the fields that were being cleared.
After surveying the area, Nian Shutong recorded the terrain with the Light Computer and planned to create a detailed construction plan upon returning.
Once she returned to the small wooden house, Nian Shutong and Daodao organized the road construction plan together, planning to consult with Fu Yunhe later to see if any modifications were needed.
At noon, Nian Shutong brought up the matter of road construction.
Everyone naturally had no objections, instead they were more excited about the endless supply of meat coming their way.
“We can hire robots to do the road construction; it would save us a lot of manpower, and we wouldn’t need to do anything ourselves, they’d handle it all.”
After hearing Fu Yunhe’s suggestion, Nian Shutong checked the prices. Fortunately, they weren’t expensive.
“Let’s hire them!”
