153: Ye Tian is very busy

"You can't say that. If it weren't for your persistence in going this time, Mr. Ye, we likely would have made a mistake due to carelessness. It should be us thanking you."

The Police Captain shook hands with Ye Tian with a face full of sincerity and took the initiative to introduce himself.

Ye Tian naturally wouldn't refuse and added the Police Captain's contact information.

Only then did the latter leave, satisfied.

In the ward, The Girls also completely relaxed.

Not only were they cleared of responsibility, but they would also receive additional compensation; it could be said that their suffering wasn't in vain.

Everything was settled.

Considering that the injured Girls needed rest, Ye Tian felt it wasn't convenient to stay too long.

He had Wang Jia and the others arrange for people to look after the injured and then returned to the Breeding Farm.

By now, the sky had already turned dark.

At the landfill, powerful floodlights had already been set up quietly.

The construction crew was working at full speed to keep up with the schedule.

A portion of the foundation for the new factory had already been excavated. According to Ye Tian's requirements, the excavated soil was piled up at the outer wall area along with the black soil from the Breeding Farm.

With the accumulation over the past few days...

The landfill's wall had already reached a certain scale.

At least in terms of height, it was almost level with the landfill's hills, once again able to block the view of outsiders.

In the increasingly spacious parking lot in front of the warehouse doors...

The scene now was even more grand.

At some point, the number of excavators and loaders had reached over ten. There were also 8 garbage sorters.

Lined up at the foot of the trash mountain, they were operating non-stop.

Seeing this formation, Ye Tian couldn't help but call Wu Gengbiao.

"Brother Wu, you move quite fast."

"Haha, I've had my eye on this machinery for a long time, so of course I'm fast. And the ones delivered today are just the first batch; more will be sent over the next few days. Just you wait and see, brother."

"That must cost a lot of money. Brother Wu, how much do I need to contribute?"

"No need for you to pay. You weren't here this afternoon, so I took all the processed plastic—three hundred tons in total. I was supposed to give you 300,000, but I'll keep it as the machinery fee. I'll cover whatever's missing, but the machines belong to you, brother."

"How could I let you do that!"

Ye Tian gave a chuckle.

"Brother, money really isn't an issue. As long as your efficiency goes up, there's more money than we can ever finish earning."

Wu Gengbiao said in a loud, clear voice.

Ye Tian nodded and didn't act too formal with Wu Gengbiao.

Hanging up the phone, he rode his bike to a tobacco and liquor shop and brought back a dozen cartons of cigarettes in one go.

He gave a carton to each of the masters Wu Gengbiao had sent to work for him, and they began to work even harder.

After settling everything, Ye Tian returned to the Breeding Farm.

The old man was still busy in the laboratory.

As soon as he saw Ye Tian, he quickly asked...

"Well, Little Ye, is the Essence Liquid effective?"

"Yes, the injured Girls reacted very well after using the Essence Liquid. It's all thanks to your preparation, old man."

"As long as it's useful. The preparation doesn't actually matter much; it's mainly that the Essence Liquid itself is powerful. Is there a big difference in the clinical effects of the two types of Essence Liquid?"

"Yes, the Super Essence Liquid works faster and penetrates more thoroughly. After the initial application, it basically stops the pain immediately. A few minutes later, there's a sensation of itching. By the time I left, the skin color of the two lightly injured Girls had basically returned to normal."

"No blistering?"

"None. Even the nurses were stunned, saying they'd never seen anything like it. It felt as if our Essence Liquid repaired all the damaged skin."

The old man nodded, his eyes bright.

"It seems the injuries of your two employees weren't heavy and didn't reach the core. However, there should be other reactions later. At least when the skin underneath recovers, it will push off the dead skin on top. It's just that the Essence Liquid locked in the moisture, so no blistering symptoms appeared. This is a good thing."

"Yeah, it's just that I don't know the specifics for the severely injured girl yet. It doesn't hurt anymore, and the surface skin has started to dry out, but this layer of her surface skin is equivalent to someone else's subcutaneous tissue; her real epidermis has already been burned off."

The old man was startled: "That's very serious. You used the Super Essence Liquid, right?"

"Yes, basically all of it was used on her."

"Then there's no need to be too anxious. Actually, I did an experiment with the Super Essence Liquid once. After a patch of skin was burned off a white mouse, I applied the Essence Liquid from one Super Cockroach. It only took two days for new flesh to grow, and there wasn't much difference from the previous skin."

"That fast?"

"Could it be called 'Super' if it wasn't fast? However, a mouse's recovery ability is naturally stronger than a human's, so your employee's recovery might be a bit slower, but there's great hope. At least the drying of the epidermis usually means the tender flesh underneath is growing."

"Good, as long as there's hope. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to face her."

"Little Ye, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Accidents are things no one can predict. You still shouldn't let these things delay your main business, like the chicken feed and such."

"Ah!"

Ye Tian slapped his forehead. Today he had been so worried about company matters that he even forgot to deliver the afternoon feed.

In a frantic rush...

Ye Tian carried a crate to the back door of the warehouse.

He began packing cockroaches.

At the same time, he touched the processor platform; the cement was basically dry, and he estimated it could be used directly tomorrow.

An hour later, Ye Tian arrived at the Chicken Farm pulling the cockroach meat.

This side was similar to Ye Tian's landfill.

The sky was dark, but the large sheds in front of the woods were still brightly lit.

And from a distance, Ye Tian saw Li Ming waiting at the intersection.

"Brother, you've finally arrived. I thought we wouldn't have enough cockroach meat today."

"There's plenty. Something happened at the Housekeeping Company this afternoon and delayed me."

Ye Tian explained briefly and began moving the cockroach meat off the vehicle.

After a day and a half, these chicks at the Chicken Farm had visibly grown a bit larger. It just wasn't very noticeable yet.

However, in terms of speed and vitality, the improvement was very obvious.

The half-grown chicks could actually fly up to the height of Ye Tian's shoulder when they jumped.

Their scramble for food was incredibly fierce.

"Brother, what happened at the Housekeeping Company?"

After helping Ye Tian finish up, Li Ming couldn't help but ask.

"A few Girls encountered a gas explosion and were burned."

"Holy crap, how did that happen? Is it serious?"

"One is quite serious, but the matter has been temporarily resolved. How things turn out will depend on the subsequent recovery."

"Sigh, everything was going so well, how could something like this happen. So brother, is there anything we can help with?"

"No need, Brother Li, I can handle it for now. School starts for us tomorrow, so time might be a bit tight. If I don't make it in time to deliver the cockroach meat, remember to remind me."

"Remind you of what? Brother, you're so busy, I'll just go to your place and pick it up myself. Otherwise, you coming back and forth twice a day takes over two hours. With that time, wouldn't it be better to do something else?"

Ye Tian thought about it and then nodded: "Alright, then I'll process the cockroach meat you need every morning first, and Brother Li, you find someone to come and pick it up. This stuff isn't light."

"Okay. Right, brother, we had good luck today and received another 2,000 chicks. Tomorrow, the demand for cockroach meat might be a bit larger."

"No problem, I'm actually worried about having too many cockroaches. Tomorrow the machines for processing cockroach meat will be usable, and by then the volume will likely be several times more than today."

"That's great then."

Li Ming rubbed his hands excitedly and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Old Zhang? Those chicks you mentioned before are still there, right? Send them all to me, as many as you have."

"Hello, Old Liu? You can send the chickens over now."

After making a few calls, Li Ming held up a finger to Ye Tian.

"Brother, if the chickens from these families are all sent over, our Chicken Farm can almost reach its initial goal of ten thousand."

"Good. Can the sheds accommodate them?"

"No problem. Since our money is in place, everything is not a problem. At the latest by tomorrow night, the machines in this shed and the chicken coop will all be set up."

"That's good. What about the chicken manure? Brother Li, have you observed it?"

"Of course, I specifically looked many times today. Brother, those Earthworms of yours are truly powerful. I don't know when they clean up, but anyway, every once in a while the chicken manure on the ground just disappears. But strangely, I haven't seen a single chicken manage to catch an Earthworm to eat."

Ye Tian smiled slightly: "And the fruit tree saplings?"

"Still contacting people. The saplings you mentioned are more precious, so it'll probably take some time."

"Yeah. I got some more inspiration from chatting with the old man earlier. Brother Li, you can try to get some high-end species, like Wagyu Cattle or deer and the like."

Li Ming's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea, I'll try my best. Also, I've asked a friend in aquaculture to get us some seedlings for things like hairy crabs, giant river prawns, and crawfish. We'll try raising them in cages first."

"Sure, there's plenty of cockroach meat."

Every time they talked about breeding, Ye Tian felt like there were endless topics to discuss.

The two talked for quite a while longer before realizing it was late and drove off one after the other.

This time, Ye Tian brought Li Ming directly to the Breeding Farm, letting him see where it was.

Seeing the magnificent scene in front of the landfill, Li Ming's eyes almost bulged out like copper bells.

"Bro... Brother, this is your Cockroach Breeding Farm?"

"Yeah, Brother Li. What you're seeing now is just a sample. The foundation being excavated now is only the first phase of the project. We'll need to build at least five or six more workshops of this scale later. So don't you worry about not having enough cockroach meat; I'm just afraid you won't be able to use it all."

Ye Tian laughed.

"Good, good, good. Now I'm completely at ease. Brother, you really are doing big things quietly. I never would have thought that in such a short time, you've not only built the Housekeeping Company into one of the top ones in Copper City but also set up a Waste Disposal Plant even bigger than the Housekeeping Company.

No wonder Old Wu has been saying good things about you to me every day lately. It turns out that fellow already knew what level of strength you've reached."

Li Ming said with a face full of joy.

With their relationship, Ye Tian being powerful meant they would also benefit.

After walking several laps around the landfill with Ye Tian, Li Ming finally left, satisfied.

Ye Tian checked the time; there was still a while before the workers finished their shift.

So he turned and went back to the front of the house.

As he approached, Ye Tian was slightly stunned.

At some point, ten more flower pots had appeared under the grape trellis.

In the center of each flower pot grew a kaffir lily.

With a little thought, Ye Tian knew this must be the old man's handiwork.

Now that they were separated, Ye Tian clearly noticed that the kaffir lilies looked several sizes larger than when they were crowded together.

At this moment, the longer leaves of each plant were almost as long as an arm.

They bloomed outward like a series of sharp swords, looking powerful and overbearing.

Beneath the plants was a thick layer of cockroach manure.

Because of Ye Tian's appearance, a commotion came from beneath the manure.

Earthworms began to pop their heads out constantly.

Ye Tian looked closely and found that in each flower pot, dozens of Earthworms were evenly distributed. He didn't know if they had secretly dispersed themselves or if the old man had divided them up.

But with these natural tillers present, he likely didn't need to worry much.

After looking at the Earthworms, Ye Tian went to the edge of the fish pond.

He had been busy lately and rarely had time specifically to observe.

Now, looking by the light...

Two huge, fiery red figures in the water were especially eye-catching.

After this period of growth, the two large Red Dragon Fish were already more than twice the size they were when bought.

The small fish pond felt like it was making their movements a bit restricted.

Yet in every motion, they steadily revealed a kind of disdainful, domineering beauty.

As for those small Red Dragon Fish...

No, these Red Dragon Fish could no longer be called small.

Under the light the old man had installed in the water at some point...

They had completely turned from green to red, each one having grown to the thickness and length of an arm.

Perhaps due to the lack of space, they weren't as active as before, only swimming slightly.

"Endure a little longer, I'll change your pond soon."

Ye Tian reached out and stroked the two large Red Dragon Fish that swam over, smiled at them, and then went back into the house to get a crate to fill with cockroaches from the warehouse.

Returning to the house, Ye Tian summoned Blade.

"The kind of molting you did when you advanced to ten-gold... will it happen again when you level up?"

Hearing this, Blade sent a wave of excitement to Ye Tian, its two antennae nodding like chicks pecking at grain.

Ye Tian gave a satisfied smile.

He lit the insect gathering incense and then placed his hand on the tissue paper.

Blade didn't even need to be told; it instantly arrived at Ye Tian's fingertip.

Blood dripped down.

A great battle began in the crate.

At the same time, those Gold-level Cockroaches Ye Tian had synthesized before were also called out, and he gave each Gold-level Cockroach a drop of blood.

After feeding, they quickly ran to the side and laid an ootheca.

Then, as if sensing that their mission was complete, they also began to fight.

Blade, however, watched the situation below unhurriedly.

It wasn't until the battle was nearing its end that it charged in fiercely, directly killing the Six-Gold-level Cockroach synthesized from those six Gold-level Cockroaches.

After that, there was no more movement.

Ye Tian was slightly stunned.

Just as he was still a bit confused about what Blade was trying to do...

Blade's antennae vibrated slightly.

The six cockroaches that had just been synthesized in the crate flew toward Ye Tian one after another.

Each one took a bite of his finger.

Then they found a place and began to tremble.
