The Shop Owner Is Always Picking Up Endangered Furries – CH44

You Are the Best Deer!

Chapter 44: You Are the Best Deer!

Luming Valley.

The deer mother, Nuannuan, stared blankly at the patch of grass in front of her.

“Where is Nana? Where did she go?”

The meadow was empty, with only the breeze rustling the grass. There was no sign of the fawn who usually rested there.

A terrible thought crossed her mind, and panic began to grip her heart.

“Oh no! Nana! Nana!”

She turned and sprinted toward the edge of the valley, calling out frantically.

Nuannuan was terrified. She couldn’t help but wonder if the poachers had returned and taken her baby away.

No, no, Nana will be fine, she tried to reassure herself.

Just then, a familiar voice called out.

“Mom! Mom!”

Nuannuan skidded to a halt and saw Nana trotting back from the valley entrance.

The little fawn bounced over to her side, her tiny nose twitching happily.

“Mom, I went to see the sister who saved me today!”

“She gave me some delicious roasted pine nuts! They smelled so amazing!”

“Can I take you to meet her tomorrow?”

Nuannuan was furious. What kind of child runs off without saying a word?!

She raised a hoof and gave the fawn a gentle smack.

“You little rascal, do you have any idea how worried I was?!”

“And you just ran off on your own? Do you know how dangerous it is out there?”

“Didn’t you learn anything from the poachers last time?”

“And you want to go back out? You’re not going anywhere tomorrow! You’re staying right here!”

She was genuinely angry; the thought of never seeing her fawn again had terrified her.

Fortunately, Nana was quick on her feet and nimbly dodged as her mother raised her hoof.

Seeing her mother’s anger, Nana finally realized how much she had worried her.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I… I didn’t think about that.”

“But I promised my sister I’d bring you to meet her tomorrow.”

“If I don’t go, she’ll be worried about me.”

Nuannuan let out an exasperated laugh. “You’re worried about her? What about yourself? What if you get caught by poachers again?”

Why did their herd live hidden away in Luming Valley? Because the outside world was far too dangerous!

At the bottom of the food chain, they didn’t just have to worry about poachers; there were also countless fierce predators lurking in the forest. Luming Valley was the only place they were truly safe.

Nana paused for a moment. She had seen with her own eyes that those poachers were dead!

But more importantly, Nana added softly, “But sister saved my life. I have to thank her.”

If it weren’t for her, Nana would never have made it back to the valley alive. She just wanted to see her sister again and properly say thank you.

Her mother’s anger finally began to subside. It was true—no matter what else had happened, that human had saved Nana’s life.

Nuannuan fell silent for a moment before finally sighing. “Alright. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

“I’ll give her some of the top-grade spiritual plants I’ve collected as a thank-you gift.”

“But after tomorrow, you have to listen to me. You stay in the valley and stop running off!”

Not wanting to push her luck, Nana softly bleated her agreement. “Okay, Mom.”

But, Nana thought to herself, once Mom tastes those roasted pine nuts, she’ll never want to eat plain grass again!

The next morning, Nuannuan prepared a bulging satchel.

She wove the bag from sturdy leaves and carefully filled it with the most precious spiritual plants she had gathered over the years. Most of them were potent healing herbs—a specialty of Luming Valley.

Nana stared at the contents in awe.

“Mom, these are your treasures!”

These were the herbs she was never allowed to touch!

Bone Flower—capable of mending severe fractures. Frostweed—used to instantly seal and heal external wounds. Blood-Cleansing Vine—a powerful antidote for toxins.

“Silly child,” Nuannuan said, affectionately licking the top of Nana’s head. “You are my greatest treasure.”

No amount of rare plants could ever compare to her daughter.

Nana happily nuzzled her mother. “Then let’s go!”

“Mom, I’m telling you, the roasted pine nuts Sister Su makes are incredible! They’re a hundred times better than the grass here!”

Nuannuan smiled helplessly. “Alright, alright. You were never this greedy before. What’s gotten into you?”

She checked the bag one last time before stepping out of their den.

Outside, the other fawns in the herd were already eating breakfast. The crisp morning air carried the fresh scent of green grass and sweet dew.

Unfortunately, her own fawn had refused to eat a single blade, insisting on saving room in her stomach for the roasted pine nuts.

“Good morning, Nana! Where did you go yesterday?”

It was Doudou, calling out with a mouthful of tender herbs.

“I’m going to see Sister Su! We’re visiting her again today~” Nana answered brightly.

Doudou’s mother, who lived next door, noticed the heavy bag Nuannuan was carrying.

“Goodness, Nuannuan, are you going out? It’s too dangerous past the valley!”

Nuannuan stopped to explain. “You know what happened to Nana recently. We’re going out to properly thank the human who saved her.”

The other deer, who had gathered around to listen, suddenly understood.

Doudou’s mother recalled something. “Wait, is she the human the squirrel was talking about?”

“I heard she opened some kind of care center by the stream at the foot of the mountain, specializing in taking in pet mothers and abandoned animals.”

But some of the older deer remained skeptical. It sounded too good to be true.

An old stag spoke slowly, “Nuannuan, Nana, you still need to be careful.”

“She is a human, after all. Who knows if she’s working with those poachers? Maybe she only saved the fawn to lure the rest of you into a trap.”

The stag had a noticeable limp—a permanent reminder of an encounter with poachers years ago.

“No!” Nana protested. “Sister is wonderful!”

“And she gave me delicious roasted pine nuts!”

The herd stared at her in silence. They were deer, not squirrels—since when did they eat pine nuts?

Nuannuan, unsure of how to defend the pine nuts, simply said, “Regardless, she saved my daughter’s life, and I must express my gratitude.”

“Besides, it’s a good opportunity to see what things are really like out there.”

Hearing this, the herd fell silent, watching with unease as Nuannuan and Nana set off.

Doudou watched Nana disappear into the trees and turned to her mother. “Will they come back?”

Everyone says it’s dangerous outside. Why do they want to go so badly? Just to thank a human?

“It’s hard to say,” Doudou’s mother sighed. “Humans have always been deceitful…”

But it wasn’t her place to stop them. This was Nuannuan and Nana’s choice.

Still, she didn’t believe it. How could a human truly be kind?

Meanwhile, Su Wudeng was standing on a hillside overlooking the spiritual plant garden, organizing her mechanical pets.

“Let’s see which spiritual plants we should harvest first.”

“We’ll start with the essentials—healing, recovery, and enhancement herbs.”

“Then, we can pick some ornamental ones… Rainbow Vines, Moonshadow Flowers, Chromatic Butterfly Grass…”

Not only were these ornamental plants stunning, but they also purified the air and improved the surrounding environment. They were perfect additions to her garden.

She inputted the coordinates and sequence commands into the mechanical pets based on her previously designed layout.

“Alright, let’s get to work.”

The machines whirred to life.

A swarm of aerial collector drones buzzed overhead, precisely scanning for the target plants. On the ground, spider-like excavator bots carefully loosened the soil, extracting the plants without damaging a single root. Finally, snake-like packaging bots sealed the harvested plants securely inside specialized nutrient pods.

The mechanical pets were not only incredibly efficient but also exceptionally delicate. She didn’t have to worry about a single leaf being damaged.

Su Wudeng sat leisurely at her wooden table, sipping her tea. These were definitely worth the exorbitant price tag!

“We should have a good batch ready today,” she mused. “I can start landscaping the garden for Yu Lan.”

She could also prepare a stockpile in advance in case General Chu needed them.

I should probably ask Yu Lan what kind of pet she’s looking for, she thought, rubbing her temples. The problem was that most of the pets she rescued were cubs. Cubs required significant time and resources to raise; they couldn’t immediately join a fight.

Yingying was combat-ready, but she had her own cubs to raise. She couldn’t follow Yu Lan to the Beast University halfway across the galaxy.

Suddenly, a melodious yo-yo echoed from the edge of the forest.

Su Wudeng instantly recognized the call—it was Nana!

She turned her head and, sure enough, the little fawn came bounding out of the trees a moment later.

Following closely behind was an adult deer.

Su Wudeng’s eyes lit up.

The mother deer was magnificent. Several times larger than Nana, she possessed a sturdy, graceful build with sleek, powerful muscles.

But her most striking feature was her antlers. They looked like delicately carved works of art, catching the morning light beautifully. Her coat was a rich, dark brown that gleamed with health.

However, Su Wudeng thought the deer’s eyes were her best feature—deep, soulful brown eyes that radiated both gentleness and quiet strength.

She was exactly what Su Wudeng had imagined an adult Lingnai Deer would look like.

But… was she carrying a bag?

The mother deer approached with measured steps, lowered her head, and gently nudged the woven leaf satchel toward Su Wudeng.

“Human, thank you for saving my child,” Nuannuan said, her voice soft and resonant. “This is my token of gratitude. Please accept it.”

Su Wudeng was taken aback by the surprise gift. She opened the satchel and was nearly blinded by what she saw.

They were all top-grade spiritual plants!

“Holy crap!”

Her smart glasses went into overdrive, rapidly identifying the contents:

Bone Flower, Frostweed, Blood-Cleansing Vine…

All rare, highly sought-after healing herbs!

Any single one of these could fetch a sky-high price on the open market. And this mother deer had casually handed over a bag full of them.

Talk about a generous benefactor!

“Nuannuan… this is too much! These are incredibly precious!” Su Wudeng stammered. “These are top-tier healing herbs! They’re incredibly useful to me. Thank you so much!”

Nuannuan smiled warmly. What could make her happier than seeing her gift so deeply appreciated?

“I’m glad they are of use to you,” she replied. “But I should be the one thanking you. To me, Nana is worth more than any herb in the forest.”

Su Wudeng felt genuinely touched. Nuannuan was so sincere, straightforward, and incredibly generous.

She quickly invited the two deer over to the table. “I prepared these roasted pine nuts and chestnuts just for you. Nana said she wanted to bring you over to try them. Would you like some?”

Two wooden plates sat on the table, overflowing with golden pine nuts and dark, split chestnuts, both radiating an irresistible, caramelized aroma.

Nana’s eyes lit up the moment she saw them.

She happily pranced over and affectionately nudged Su Wudeng’s hand with her nose. “Thank you, Sister! You’re the best!”

Seeing her daughter act so shamelessly affectionate with a human left Nuannuan with complicated feelings. Does she really like this human that much?

Nana hurried over to her mother and gently butted her forward. “Mom, try them! They’re so good!”

Without waiting, Nana eagerly scooped up a chestnut and crunched down on the sweet flesh. She closed her eyes in pure bliss. “Wow, it’s so good. I want to eat this every single day.”

Nuannuan watched her daughter’s dramatic reaction in disbelief. Is it really that good?

She couldn’t help but lean in and take a sniff. The rich, sweet scent instantly filled her senses, making her mouth water.

It does smell wonderful, she admitted to herself. She hesitantly took a chestnut.

The moment she bit down, her eyes widened in shock.

The deep, sweet flavor and the crisp, buttery texture were unlike anything she had ever experienced! It was a world away from the plain, watery grass she usually ate!

After finishing the first one, she immediately reached for another. And then another.

Su Wudeng watched Nuannuan eat with genuine enthusiasm, a proud smile forming on her lips. Hehe, I told you my cooking was good!

Look at them! Two beautiful deer completely captivated by her roasted snacks. There was truly nothing more satisfying than feeding cute animals.

“Nana is such a good girl,” Su Wudeng said, gently stroking the fawn’s head.

Nana leaned into the touch, rubbing her cheek against Su Wudeng’s hand. “Sister is delicious! I want to stay with you forever!”

Nuannuan kept nodding as she chewed. These roasted chestnuts were a revelation! She had no idea food could have such complex layers of flavor.

No wonder Nana couldn’t stop talking about them. If she had tried them once, she would have never forgotten them either!

But a pang of sadness suddenly struck Nuannuan. This might be the last time we ever have these.

What if they came to visit this human more often?

She was seriously considering it. This human seemed genuinely kind. Not only had she saved Nana, but she had also prepared this incredible food for them. And when they first arrived, Nuannuan had noticed the husky pups and snow leopard cubs playing happily nearby.

Everything the squirrel had said was true! There really was a human who treated animals with such kindness!

Nuannuan hesitated. Maybe I could trade herbs for her roasted chestnuts in the future?

But top-grade spiritual plants were rare. She had already given away her best stash, and she didn’t have much left. Nuannuan felt a wave of frustration realize she had nothing left to offer in exchange for such incredible food!

The two deer quickly finished the plates and lay down on the soft grass, their bellies full and content.

It was a perfect morning. The sun was warm, the breeze was gentle, and the air smelled of wildflowers. In the distance, the stream sparkled, and the rustling leaves sounded like a soft melody.

As Su Wudeng chatted lightly with the fawn, Nuannuan realized she hadn’t felt this relaxed in years.

Sensing the mood was right, Su Wudeng finally broached the topic. “Actually, I have a large patch of barren wasteland, and I really want to restore it into a vibrant grassland.”

“Would you two be willing to help? If you agree, I can provide you with an unlimited supply of roasted pine nuts and chestnuts. What do you think?”

Nuannuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had just been worrying about how she could ever afford more chestnuts, and now Su Wudeng was offering exactly that!

Of course she wanted to!

But…

Nuannuan hesitated. “You might be overestimating our abilities. As Lingnai Deer, our power is actually quite limited.”

“While we can accelerate plant growth, it only really works on common flora, like basic Greenwind Grass. The more common the plant, the faster we can grow it. But if you want us to grow spiritual plants, it takes an enormous amount of time and energy.”

She assumed Su Wudeng wanted them to cultivate high-value spiritual plants. That was, after all, the main reason humans usually hunted them.

But in reality, they were terrible at it.

She didn’t want to disappoint Su Wudeng. Their magic had zero offensive capability; it was entirely focused on healing and growth promotion.

The healing was useful, certainly. But the growth promotion? Did anyone really need them to grow basic Greenwind Grass, which already grew everywhere in the forest? It was a practically useless skill! The only real value was in cultivating spiritual plants, but their magic was far too weak for that to be efficient.

After explaining, Nuannuan lowered her head, her ears drooping sadly. She couldn’t bear to see the disappointment on Su Wudeng’s face.

But instead of being disappointed, Su Wudeng practically jumped for joy!

“No, no, no! I don’t want spiritual plants! Greenwind Grass is exactly what I need!” she exclaimed excitedly.

“I have a massive tract of dead land. If we want to restore the ecosystem, Greenwind Grass is the perfect pioneer species to start with.”

Planting fragile spiritual plants in dead soil? That was a recipe for disaster. Ecological restoration had to happen in stages. Once the Greenwind Grass took root and stabilized the soil, they could gradually introduce other species.

“Wasteland… well, if that’s the case,” Nuannuan perked up, her confidence returning. Growing Greenwind Grass on barren land was exactly what she was best at!

Thinking of the delicious food she had just eaten, the scales tipped entirely in favor of the deal. Su Wudeng’s offer was simply too good to refuse.

Nana was even more thrilled. She jumped up and bounded over to Su Wudeng. “Sister, I’ll do it! I want to help! I might not be able to grow much yet, but I’ll work super hard!”

Su Wudeng laughed and kissed the fawn’s head. “That’s the spirit! You’re such a good girl!”

Nuannuan, however, had one crucial concern she couldn’t ignore.

“I need to know,” Nuannuan asked seriously, “where is this wasteland located? Will we be safe there? Are there poachers?”

She was terrified of poachers. The only human she trusted was Su Wudeng. As Lingnai Deer, they were the ultimate prey, constantly hunted by both humans and predators. For generations, her herd had lived in a perpetual state of anxiety and fear.

Could she really trust this human’s promise of safety?

If it had been any other issue, Su Wudeng might have hesitated, but when it came to security…

“Don’t worry,” Su Wudeng said, meeting Nuannuan’s gaze with absolute certainty. “That area is completely secure. There are no natural predators there, and I guarantee there will be no poachers.”

“And just to put your mind completely at ease,” Su Wudeng cleared her throat and called out. “Yingying! Amber!”

Before she had even finished speaking, the graceful snow leopard padded out from the cabin.

A moment later, Amber came charging in from the yard, barking eagerly. “Woof! Woof!”

“I’ll have Amber and Yingying act as your personal bodyguards. How does that sound?” Su Wudeng asked earnestly.

Nuannuan began to tremble uncontrollably. “…”

She nearly turned and bolted back to the forest the moment she laid eyes on the snow leopard.

Are you insane?! That’s a Snow Leopard! The apex predator of the snowy peaks!

And this human is assigning it as my bodyguard?!

And that’s a Sword-Heart Husky!

If she recalled correctly, Lingnai Deer were not only a delicacy for Snow Leopards but also a prime target for Huskies!

Amber trotted over, completely oblivious to the deer’s terror, and gave Nuannuan a friendly, gentle pat with his heavy paw. “Don’t worry, big sister Amber will keep you safe!”

The trembling Nuannuan: “…”

Is it too late to back out of this deal?

She cast a look of utter betrayal at Nana. How could you do this to your own mother? Why didn’t you mention that this human’s contracted beasts were a Snow Leopard and a Husky?! You completely set me up!

But it was too late. Nuannuan could only nod, tears welling in her eyes.

Seeing Nuannuan’s terrified expression, Su Wudeng felt a twinge of guilt. She had trained Amber and Yingying out of hunting live prey a long time ago, but clearly, the deer mother hadn’t gotten the memo.

Meanwhile, the mechanical pets had efficiently finished harvesting the designated spiritual plants.

Su Wudeng waved her hand. “Alright, team, pack it up! Let’s head home!”

Nuannuan watched in wide-eyed astonishment as the chaotic husky pups instantly fell into a disciplined line, each pup obediently biting the tail of the one in front of it. The Snow Crystal kittens did exactly the same.

Amber and Yingying took the lead, guiding the procession of cubs. Yingying even had a tiny calico kitten gently tucked into her arms.

Nuannuan felt her hooves trembling. But with Amber flanking Su Wudeng on the left and Yingying on the right, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the group.

Nana, entirely oblivious to her mother’s existential dread, cheerfully bounded over to Su Wudeng, took a gentle bite of her shirt hem, and looked up expectantly. “Like this?”

“Exactly!” Su Wudeng praised. “You’re so smart!”

Nana turned back to her mother, her tail wagging excitedly. “Mom, come hold my tail! It’s a fun game!”

Nuannuan: “…”

This child is a lost cause.

Soon, the scenery shifted as Su Wudeng brought the group back to the pet center.

Huihui, the robotic assistant, ushered the cubs into their respective playrooms, while the calico kitten was carefully placed back into her specialized recovery suite. Yingying immediately hurried off to check on her own cubs.

Nuannuan stood in the lobby, looking utterly lost. It was a strange place filled with bizarre human contraptions she had never seen before.

Su Wudeng gently stroked Nuannuan’s neck to calm her. “We’re going to head to the wasteland now for a quick test run to see how your magic interacts with the soil.”

A few minutes later, Chu Feng and Lin Yue arrived in a transport shuttle.

The moment they laid eyes on Nuannuan and Nana, they were so overcome with emotion they could barely speak. They stared at the deer with an intensity that bordered on fanatical.

“They really are Lingnai Deer!” 

“We’re saved! The planet is actually saved!”

When they received the call from the planetary governor earlier, their hearts had nearly pounded out of their chests! They had seen the fawn’s incredible growth magic on the live stream; the adult deer’s power had to be exponentially stronger. And now, the miraculous creatures were standing right in front of them!

Nuannuan panicked, pressing herself tightly against Su Wudeng. Her instincts screamed at her to flee from these intense, staring humans.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, they won’t hurt you,” Su Wudeng murmured, wrapping an arm around the deer’s neck.

It took several minutes of gentle coaxing before Nuannuan finally relaxed.

During the shuttle ride, Lin Yue kept stealing glances at Nuannuan. What a magnificent creature, she thought. Those huge eyes… those elegant antlers… absolutely stunning! She was dying to reach out and pet the deer, but she could see how skittish the mother was. The fawn, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by the humans.

Twenty minutes later, the shuttle touched down at Experimental Zone 001.

This specific sector had been carefully fenced off and seeded with Greenwind Grass. They had imported expensive, treated water, and the soil had undergone extensive chemical conditioning. Automated irrigation systems were meticulously arranged across the plot.

And yet, despite all the money and effort, not a single blade of grass had sprouted.

Su Wudeng crouched down, examining the dirt with a frown. Even after all the treatments, the soil quality was still abysmal. She dug down a few inches and found that the seeds had, technically, germinated. But at this agonizingly slow growth rate, it would take months before they saw any actual greenery on the surface.

“If things continue like this,” Su Wudeng sighed, “we won’t see a proper lawn until next year.”

Nuannuan stepped forward, observing Su Wudeng’s findings. “The seeds have germinated, which means the soil is at least barely capable of sustaining life,” she noted. “I’ll try to stimulate them and see if I can force them to surface.”

“Alright,” Su Wudeng said, giving the deer an encouraging pat. “It’s all up to you.”

Nuannuan closed her eyes and began to channel her magical energy into the earth.

Instantly, a chorus of faint, tiny voices flooded her mind. It was the consciousness of the buried seeds.

“It’s so hard to sleep… the dirt is so heavy.” 

“I’m so thirsty, but the water tastes wrong.” 

“I want to see the sun! Let me out!”

Nuannuan gently projected her soothing spiritual energy downward, comforting the distressed seeds one by one. Slowly, the complaints turned into a chorus of joyful, energized cheers.

It felt as though the entire landscape was suddenly taking a deep breath and waking up.

Nana stood beside her mother, mimicking the process, though her magic only managed to affect a small cluster of seeds near her hooves.

Su Wudeng, Chu Feng, and Lin Yue watched in breathless anticipation.

Suddenly, tiny specks of vibrant green pierced the desolate soil. Tender, translucent shoots pushed their way toward the sunlight with incredible vigor.

The barren, gray earth was instantly injected with life.

Nuannuan stood perfectly still in the center of the miracle, her eyes closed in deep communion with the land.

“Oh my god,” Chu Feng and Lin Yue gasped, staring at the impossible sight, their voices trembling with overwhelming emotion.

“They’re actually growing!” 

“The power of the Lingnai Deer is unbelievable!” 

“I’m witnessing a literal miracle!”

In the blink of an eye, the Greenwind Grass surged upward, reaching a height of four inches. The blades swayed gently in the breeze, a stunning mosaic of emerald and jade that looked like a carpet of precious gems rolled out across the wasteland.

The perfectly uniform waves of green rippled in the wind, a sight so profoundly beautiful it brought tears to Chu Feng and Lin Yue’s eyes.

“The Lingnai Deer… they’re our salvation!” 

“Our planet is going to be the miracle of the entire galaxy!”

This world, long condemned as a dead rock, was actually going to live again. This small patch of grass was indisputable proof that their crazy plan was going to work! It was only a matter of time before this vibrant green spread across the entire globe!

Nuannuan slowly opened her eyes. She felt deeply exhausted, her muscles trembling slightly from the immense exertion.

Su Wudeng immediately rushed forward to support her.

As Nuannuan looked around, she saw the lush, vibrant Greenwind Grass completely surrounding her. A smaller, but equally healthy patch had sprouted around Nana.

Su Wudeng threw her arms around the mother deer in a massive hug.

“You did it! You’re incredible!” 

“You literally brought this wasteland back to life!” 

“You are the absolute best deer in the universe!”

Hearing the praise, Nuannuan’s exhaustion vanished. While it was only common Greenwind Grass, the profound joy she felt from the plants was intoxicating. The sheer desperation of the seeds in this wasteland made their gratitude far more intense than anything she had ever felt from the lush plants back in Luming Valley.

For the first time, Nuannuan felt a deep, overwhelming sense of purpose and accomplishment. So this is what my power was truly meant for.

She gazed tenderly at the thriving grass and let out two soft, melodious calls. “Yo-yo.”

As if responding to her voice, the grass swayed joyfully in the wind.

Su Wudeng was ecstatic. Her theory was absolutely correct! The Lingnai Deer could exponentially accelerate the growth cycle of foundational flora. While she wasn’t sure if their power permanently altered the soil composition or was limited solely to the Greenwind Grass, the results were undeniably spectacular.

“Then we have a deal!” Su Wudeng cheered, hugging both deer. “You only need to come out here and do this once a day, and I’ll cover all your meals!”

“All the roasted pine nuts and chestnuts you can eat! Unlimited supply!”

Nuannuan and Nana were overjoyed, affectionately nuzzling Su Wudeng’s hands.

Nana: Sister is the best! Nuannuan: You are truly the kindest human I have ever met!

Chu Feng and Lin Yue stood frozen in shock, processing the governor’s negotiation.

They looked at each other in utter disbelief.

Wait, did we hear that right?

The payment for resurrecting the entire planet’s biosphere… is three meals a day? And it’s just roasted nuts?!

Lin Yue rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “I mean… maybe we should throw in room and board?”

Chu Feng: “…”

The patch of grass in front of them was already mind-blowing. They couldn’t even fathom what this area would look like in a month, let alone three.

And the deer were satisfied with a daily ration of snacks?!

Su Wudeng, with one arm draped over Nuannuan and the other around Nana, began walking back toward the shuttle, chatting animatedly. “So, Nuannuan…”

“Do you think anyone else in your herd might be looking for a job?” 

“It’s only one shift a day, and I’ll provide full catering for everyone!” 

“And I promise, top-tier security for the whole crew! What do you say?”

Chu Feng and Lin Yue trailed behind, utterly speechless.

Unbelievable. No wonder she’s the planetary governor.

They were still trying to process the sheer magnitude of the ecological miracle they had just witnessed, and she was already aggressively headhunting the rest of the herd!
