Cultivation Pet Shop

231 Chapter 231



If this was before, Lin Fan would have definitely rejected Jiang Zhi Shu's request without any hesitation.

Before this, Lin Fan had been too weak to deal with this and he would have slowly tried to gain power.

However, after the incident in the planar crack and he learned more about the secrets of this world, he knew that he might not have time to wait any longer.

The Beast Clan had already attempted two different invasions in the past few months and who knows what they would do in the future. They were even willing to invest a Fragmented Soul Realm single mutation beast like Jin into this invasion, which meant that they definitely were getting impatient.

Lin Fan was more powerful compared to before, but he didn't have any influence on the Blue Star Planet at all. If an invasion did happen, without any influence, he wouldn't be able to do anything other than defend himself and his family.

But after living on the Blue Star Planet for more than three months now, he had slowly made more and more friends, feeling like he did belong to the Blue Star Planet. If he could, he wanted to protect not just himself, but also the life that he had built here.

Now that there was a chance for him to take influence by controlling the Jiang Family, he didn't have a reason to say no.

But to do so meant that there were many things he had to prepare for over the next month.

After the meeting, Lin Fan headed back to the store and began planning the various things that he had to prepare.

Over the next few weeks, he had left everything related to the store to Song Shu while heading off to take care of various different preparations that he needed.

He went out from dawn to dusk every day, heading out early in the morning and only coming back after the sky had become dark.

It had even reached the point where Angela had questioned him on what he was doing.

However, she did trust him, so she only questioned him on whether he was seeing someone else. But the way she asked definitely took several years off Lin Fan's life.

In the end, Lin Fan was able to calm her down and convince her that he wasn't cheating on her. Rather it wasn't hard for him to do so since his conscience was clear and he actually wasn't cheating.

There were a few things that were of note that happened during this month of preparation.

The first was that Lin Fan received the notification from the system that he had completed the second part of his mission, creating another branch that had the same fame as the first shop.

That wasn't hard for him to do in Water Pearl City since both of the ruling factions in the city completely supported him. All the other factions in the city relied on one of these two ruling factions, so if both of them supported him, they had no choice but to support him as well.

With all these different powers supporting him, it would be strange if Lin Fan's store didn't become popular. So a week after he came back from the planar crack, he received the notification from the system.

It had even become so serious that the rumours about Lin Fan's store had been greatly exaggerated, turning it into a plot that all that families were involved in.

But these rumours did nothing but fuel people's curiosity, making even more people come to Lin Fan's store.

The second was that Lin Fan had been slowly training Yu Shu as the manager for this branch since he had to leave someone in charge of this store in the end and Yu Shu was the best choice.

In the end, Yu Shu was the only one who truly belonged to the store since he had nowhere else to go.

As for Zhu Tie and Yu Ning, they had the Zhu Family and the Monster Trainer Union behind them respectively. Eventually they would have to return to their respective forces and they couldn't work for Lin Fan forever, so it wasn't realistic to leave them in charge of this branch.

This hadn't been a problem for the Green Wood City branch since the workers there came from the Alchemy Tower and Lin Fan had the Alchemy Master of the Alchemy Tower following him. Unconsciously, he had already taken the Alchemy Tower as a force that was already under him.

To train Yu Shu, he had Song Shu teach Yu Shu about all the different things that she knew which the manager should know. That way Yu Shu could take charge of the store when they left in a month.

He knew that it was impossible for him to leave Song Shu because of how close she was with Angela, so he had already assumed that she would be coming with him.

The third matter was that around the same time Lin Fan received the notification from the system that he had completed the second part of the mission, Zhu Ba Jie and the president of the Monster Trainer Union had contacted him.

They had told him that both the Union Government and the Monster Trainer Union had agreed to his terms and were looking forward to cooperating with him on finding the King's inheritance.

This was a big deal for Lin Fan since he had asked for quite a few important things from them, things that would play a role when he headed to Rock Mountain City next month. With the Union Government and the Monster Trainer Union agreeing to his terms, it gave him much more confidence in applying his plan in Rock Mountain City.

The fourth matter was that the tale of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men had already spread across Water Pearl City as well.

Jiang Zhi Shu had left some of his forces in Green Wood City and had brought the rest with him to Water Pearl City, doing the same thing he did in Green Wood City. This had allowed him to recruit many more followers and now his troops had almost doubled in size compared to before.

During the month of preparations that Lin Fan had told him about, Jiang Zhi Shu had gone all out in spreading the name of Robin Hood to increase the power of his troops and his efforts hadn't gone unrewarded. By going all out to help the people in the towns and villages around Water Pearl City, there were plenty of young men who flocked to join him.

A week ago he had doubled his troops, but now his troops had surged to three times their original number back in Green Wood City.

Not only were there many more followers for Jiang Zhi Shu, Lin Fan had also prepared quite a few Desert Horrors for them as mounts.

Each Desert Horror was in the Silver Realm, so their combined force definitely couldn't be looked down on.

With these Desert Horrors, it made it even easier for them to sweep through all the enemies in this area.

The final matter was that Lin Fan's business had taken off.

The food culture in this world really was lacking, so when something as novel as jams had appeared, all the people had rushed to buy them.

Of course, with the clear divide in this world, Lin Fan also knew that he couldn't just offer a single product. So Lin Fan had split his jams into two different versions, a high class version for the nobles and a mass produced version for the commoners to eat.

This allowed Lin Fan's business to completely dominate all of the market in Water Pearl City.

Even if there were shrewd merchants who had tried to mimic their recipe, it was a recipe that was carefully developed by Lin Fan and his grandmother. It wasn't something that could be easily mimicked.

Lin Fan had also released several other recipes through the store and their profits had completely exploded. It reached a point where their company was considered one of the richest companies in all of Water Pearl City in just a single month.

Since that was the case, Lin Fan took out a portion of this cash to send a group of his workers to Rock Mountain City two weeks ahead of the deadline to prepare for their arrival.

Jiang Zhi Shu wanted to go along with them, but Lin Fan wouldn't let him since the timing wasn't right.

He used another portion of this money to expand the intelligence network that he was building, making sure that it would be prepared by the time they arrived at Rock Mountain City.

Lin Fan knew just how dangerous this plan would be, so he wasn't foolish enough to charge in without doing some scouting first.

And just like that, the month slowly passed, or at least that was how it felt for Jiang Zhi Shu.

There were many times where he wanted to rush to Rock Mountain City, but Lin Fan had stopped him every time.

Finally it was the day that Lin Fan had agreed on.

He had said his goodbyes to all his friends in Water Pearl City in the last week, so the only thing left for him to do was pass on the store to Yu Shu.

The morning before his flight, he handed the keys to Yu Shu and gave him a few words of encouragement.

After that, he headed off to the airship flight that he had booked with Angela and Song Shu.

It had been a long month, but now it was finally time to head to Rock Mountain City.
