At that thought, Su Yang looked at the female knight beside him and whispered, “Go into the virtual space and hide. My friend has come out.”
As he said that, Su Yang took out his phone and prepared to put Last Building into the virtual space.
At that moment, Last Building spoke. She looked down at Su Yang and said, “Your Majesty, my [Dimensional Black Mist] can isolate sound. So…”
‘What? Isolate sound?’
Su Yang looked at Tang Jing, who was looking to the left and right and then at the black mist that surrounded him. ‘Erm… so Tang Jing didn’t hear my answer just now?
‘Okay… I’ve been scared for nothing.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang pretended that he was not around and prepared to use Tang Jing to test out the effects of [Dimensional Black Mist].
After all, other than being unable to be observed by technological products, [Dimensional Black mist] could not be sensed by non-super powered living beings.
Coincidentally, Su Yang wanted to see if Tang Jing would notice him or not.
So, Su Yang continued to sit at the dining table and watched as Tang Jing looked around the house. Confusion was written all over her gentle face. “Eh? Xiaoyang isn’t here? Then why did I hear some noise downstairs? Also, the lights in the dining hall are on as well.”
Tang Jing mumbled to herself as she walked towards the dining hall.
When she reached the dining hall, she looked around and did not find anything strange. Hence, her hand pressed on the light switch and was prepared to turn it off.’
However, just as her hand was about to press it down, she suddenly stopped. She hesitated for a moment and rubbed her belly before she whispered, “I think I’m a little hungry…”
After saying that, she frowned slightly. Her face was filled with hesitation, like she was hesitating whether to eat or not.
The girlish attitude that she gave off was enough to make one’s heart race.
It was Su Yang’s first time seeing Tang Jing behaving like that, hence he could not help but chuckle. ‘Tang Jing’s gentle demeanor seems to be all an act, she looks like a little girl when she’s alone at home.’
After laughing, Su Yang sized up Tang Jing. Perhaps it was because he had disturbed Tang Jing a while ago, hence she was not wearing any outerwear. All she wore was a light yellow cotton T-shirt that she often wore to sleep during spring and autumn.
However, since she would only wear it when she was sleeping, she looked quite seductive in it at that moment. Even though the T-shirt was of a large size, it could not hide her curvaceous figure, her bulging chest, her long legs and her small feet which were stepping on a pair of plastic slippers.
The slippers were not the type that had its front sealed. Through the opening in front, one could see her toes which looked like jade beads.
It was not known when she had dyed her toes with red nail polish, making it look like pomegranate seeds. Plus, it made her feet look even fairer and smaller.
Furthermore, Tang Jing was standing under the light in the dining hall. The soft light made her look like a white jade statue…
After Su Yang was done admiring Tang Jing’s beauty, she had made her decision.
She walked into the kitchen in her slippers. After a while, the sound of the microwave came from the kitchen. After thirty seconds, there was a “Ding”, signalling that the food in the microwave was done being heated up.
After a while, Tang Jing returned to the dining hall with a plate of sandwiches.
She hummed softly and placed the plate on the table before sitting down. Then, she picked up the sandwich and started eating.
What she did not know was… The location she chose was right in front of the black mist. She was less than 10cm away from entering the mist.
When Su Yang saw Tang Jing approaching, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. It wasn’t only when Tang Jing stopped and sat down before he heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Yang took a glance at Lady Building, who was still clad in black armor and holding a black spear. She was standing by the side, maintaining her posture. ‘Tonight’s been such a fun and exciting night!
‘If Tang Jing accidentally walks in, should I erase her memory or should I once again gather Chu Xia and Tang Xiaomi to sign another verbal contract with her…’
Tang Jing did not know that Su Yang was beside her, hence she took out her phone and started eating while looking at her phone.
Su Yang changed his angle and finally saw the screen of her phone. It was an app China Construction Bank which showed a balance of 2.22 million yuan.
Su Yang could not help but recall the time when Tang Jing and Su Yang were trading stocks together. He was the one who told her when to buy and when to sell, thus allowing Tang Jing to earn her first bucket of gold because of him.
‘At the time, she had gone to look for her colleague and her best friends in order to accumulate six million yuan. Then, she managed to earn close to five times her original amount because of me.
‘Even after she returned the money that she had borrowed, she still had about 20 million yuan left.
‘It’s literally a miracle that she managed to earn 20 million yuan without risking anything in a month.
‘However, I did promise her back then that I would help her to stand upright in front of her evil stepmother. 20 million yuan isn’t going to be enough to achieve this goal. I should help her build up her career.
‘Coincidentally, Gru isn’t going to be able to finish planting 100,000 trees in one or two days. So I could make use of that time to help her come up with a plan and open up her company.
‘I’ll talk to her about this tomorrow!’
Shortly after, Tang Jing finished her meal and left the kitchen. Su Yang heaved a sigh of relief as well. He quickly got Lady Building to deactivate her ability and ran back to his room with his phone in his hand.
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, Su Yang slept until past 12 pm before waking up. Tang Jing had long but went to work early in the morning, but Su Yang did not mind that. He could just wait for Tang Jing to return that night before talking to her about the topic.
Therefore, he had lunch with Tang Xiaomi and went into the virtual space to supervise the ongoing works. He was already in the second round of his Platinum Mission, which he intended to complete as soon as possible.
The little monsters were originally more energetic, as though they had the [Three Days Without Sleep Halo] activated, allowing them to go about without sleeping usually. Hence, when Su Yang entered the virtual space, all the little monsters were already planting trees together with Gru.
Gru, who had the [Shepherd] ability, was able to plant trees at a very fast rate. It could quickly cast growth spells on trees to speed up their growth. However, trees needed to grow in the soil, which would take forever for Gru to dig 100,000 holes on its own. Therefore, the little monsters helped it by digging holes together with it.
When Su Yang left the castle, he realized that all the little monsters were digging pits in the valley. As each monster had different abilities, their methods of digging were different as well.
For example, Last Building, the new little monster who was clad in her black armor with a black spear in her hand and a giant horse formed from black mist appeared under her feet, galloping through the valley.
As she ran, her spear kept stabbing at the ground and holes appeared under her feet like hoof prints.
Her whole posture, her condition, was incredibly cool. If only… She had a head.
That’s right, her head was gone again. She had returned to becoming the Headless Horseman once again.
Su Yang took a closer look and felt that she did have a head. However, the armor seemed to have grown bigger, covering her head within the armor…
Su Yang estimated that when Last Building was standing on the ground, she was about 1.85m tall. When she was riding on the horse, even without a head, she was about 2m tall, while her huge horse was about 2.5m tall. When the two of them combined, they stood more than 3m tall. ‘They’re like a giant, it’s so terrifying!’
As for the other little monsters, they were not as efficient as her. For example, each of the Little Monster Beans were holding a shovel-shaped Quickgold Monster as they diligently hoed the ground.
As for Janet, he turned half of his body into his water form. Then, he shot out high-pressure water columns from his hand and carved out the ground.
On the other hand, Little Deeny called out five of her avatars and dug holes together.
Little Hus was even more ruthless. It carried Dagger Girl and walked around the valley. When it found a suitable place, it would make Dagger Girl open her eyes.
Dagger Girl, who had opened her eyes, immediately returned to her [World Destroyer Dagger Lady] form. A [World Destroyer Death Ray] would be released and the ground was instantly plowed, revealing a deep ravine and countless soil.
‘Hmm… Not bad. However, I can’t help but feel that it’s slacking off.
‘After all, Dagger Girl only has three uses of [World Destroyer Death Ray] per day.’
However, even with so many little monsters working together, they could not catch up to Gru’s speed. Its two branches were wrapped with bundles of saplings. With just a throw, the saplings instantly fell into the pit which seemed to be solidly placed.
Then, Gru closed its eyes and chanted. Countless green bubbles floated out from its body and landed on the sapling. The saplings could be seen rooting itself onto the ground through the naked eye and grew taller, seemingly full of life.
At that time, the other little monsters quickly covered the soil on top of the saplings.
Therefore, the pit that the other monsters had worked so hard to dig for a long time was planted with trees within a few seconds, the efficiency was as fast as lightning.
When he saw this, Su Yang did not stay idle. Instead, he quickly got himself dirty and started working as well.
Hence, the human and his little monsters had been busy with their “farm work” for the entire day. As a result, they had planted about 8,000 trees and everyone felt like they were about to collapse from exhaustion.
However, when they saw that there was now a small forest added into the virtual space, everyone still felt a sense of satisfaction.
Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment and planting trees.
After all, to love the Earth would also mean loving ourselves.
As he looked at the thriving saplings and thought about the trees that humans cut every day, Su Yang felt a little melancholic. ‘Without trees, who’s going to turn carbon dioxide into oxygen for humans to breathe?
‘For the sake of industrial development and for the sake of technological development, forests are being cut down, followed by the loss of land and water.
‘It’s high time for us to protect our trees by planting more trees now.
‘For example, Alipay has the “Ant Forest” activity where they’ve planted hundreds of thousands of trees in the desert. This is how large corporations are being socially responsible.
‘Perhaps when my company develops further, I can do more of such charity activities.’
Well… Of course, Su Yang wasn’t just trying to do a good deed. He also thought that he might be able to earn some coins and influence some more people by doing such activities, allowing him to speed up the completion of his mission!
After a day of work, Su Yang took a shower and exited the virtual space.
Tang Jing had already returned home. Since she had become rich recently, she had not been working overtime as much as she used to.
‘I see humans really are realistic beings after all. Who would want to work every day when they have money?
‘Unless they’ve been locked up at home for too long…’
Although Tang Jing had returned early that day, she did not seem to be in a good mood.
Usually, she would go home early to prepare dinner. However, even when Su Yang went downstairs on that day, she was still sitting on the sofa with a sullen expression. No one knew what she was thinking about.
