Although Lou Huai’an didn’t much like fish with a lot of scales, she had to say that these wenyao were really a group of useful fish tools.

But at this moment, she suddenly thought of the wealth-making experience she read about on the Internet. She couldn’t just exploit the surplus value of her employees—she had to reward them to improve their subjective initiative.

Besides spiritual energy, what else could be given to them as a reward?

Luo Huai’an suddenly had an idea and called out to Third Fish. She walked into the game room on the first floor of the villa followed by the wenyao.

This game room was very large, but there were only two computers: one was the Kitchen God’s high-end computer, and the other was Luo Huai’an’s mid-range computer.

When Luo Huai’an was first learning to cook, she had coveted the Kitchen God’s top-of-the-line computer. In order to let her concentrate on learning cooking, the Kitchen God gave her a mid-range computer that he didn’t use anymore. But he also strictly restricted her play time, which made her very uncomfortable.

After the Kitchen God entrusted Fragrant Mountain to her, she eagerly moved to using the high-end computer, and the other mid-range computer was now left unused.

Luo Huai’an pointed to the mid-range computer and said, “You and your brothers and sisters are doing pretty well at work. After you finish growing vegetables every day, you can come here to play games, but you can only play on this computer.”

Yu San’s eyes lit up instantly when he saw the modern desktop computer. His younger siblings, who followed him in, exclaimed, “This computer is so cool! A huge LCD screen, and a mechanical keyboard that lights up!”

“After I got ashore, I once leaned over the glass to look at the computers in the digital store. A computer like this would cost at least over 10,000 yuan.”

When Luo Huai’an heard the technical terms of computer equipment coming out of the mouths of these little Fish, she knew that they were already quite knowledgeable about this, so she didn’t explain too much and gave the computer password to Third Fish.

Before leaving, she seemed to think of something and added, “I noticed that you didn’t let your younger siblings play with your phone before. That’s not good. You should let them play with this occasionally.”

Luo Huai’an didn’t stay to play on her computer but left the game room to count the money she earrned. If she didn’t count the money every day, she couldn’t sleep.

Ever since the opening of the Eighth Cafeteria, computers have not been as attractive to her as making money. Her attitude towards computers has changed from a lustful demon to a saint without desires.

… …

Luo Huai’an got up early at five o’clock the next morning.

Second Fish had already prepared breakfast. Luo Huai’an took a bite and nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, your understanding is really good. Keep up the hard work.”

Second Fish heard her praise and shyly pinched the edges of her apron, “Okay!”

Just as Luo Huai’an was concentrating on eating breakfast, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the game room. She was puzzled, so she went to the game room after finishing her meal.

She saw a wenyao sitting on a gaming chair, its wings tapping on the keyboard like dancing, making crackling sounds.

There was a group of fish standing behind Third Fish, and they kept saying, “Older Brother, scold him!” 

Luo Huai’an: “???”

“What are you doing here?”

When everyone saw her come in, they became nervous and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Third Fish quickly put down the keyboard and explained, “My teammates were too bad. They took us to the high ground in just five minutes and even cursed at us. I couldn’t help myself.”

Luo Huai’an thought about the situation, and her fists hardened.

But then she checked and found that they had planted the vegetables, so she waved her hand and said, “Forget it, you guys can continue playing.”

Seeing that she didn’t care, everyone continued to play games happily.

After returning to Fragrant Mountain, this group of wenyao particularly liked to transform into fish form, even when playing computer games.

When Luo Huai’an saw this scene, she felt a little emotional. There was a saying on the Internet that was so true: because of the Internet, you never knew whether the person you were talking to was a human or a ghost.

On the second day of military training, some people keenly noticed that something was wrong.

Who knew when it first started, but more and more freshmen now had a tall cup of a strange drink in their hands.

The drink looked very good: the soup was clear and transparent, and the toppings inside were varied, giving it a very refined feel.

The weather during military training was too hot, and many people would buy milk tea from the snack street. The most popular snack street shop, ‘Auntie Milk Tea’, frequently appeared in people’s conversations. Many people knew that this milk tea was the best and the most affordable.

Some people were attracted by this ‘milk tea’ that the freshmen were drinking but were too embarrassed to ask, so they went to the ‘Auntie Milk Tea’ shop to inquire. However, they were told that their store has never sold such milk tea. They asked around all along the snack street but could not find any similar milk tea drink.

As time went by, more and more people drank this drink, and it appeared in every class formation. If this drink didn’t taste good, it would be fine, but every student would show an infatuated expression after taking a sip, making people scratch their heads and have a longing for it.

… …

Ever since Wei Ziwei bought mung bean soup from the Eighth Cafeteria, she has fallen into the trap and had to buy it at least twice a day.

The class monitor standing behind her suddenly asked, “Classmate, where did you buy this drink?”

Wei Ziwei was a little hesitant.

Although Luo Huai’an kept her word and prepared enough mung bean soup every day, it was still in short supply. There were so many people coming to buy it! It took her a while to buy a tall cup of mung bean soup every time.

If it weren’t urgent, she could wait. But now was a special period of military training; time was very tight, and she relied on this mung bean soup to save her life every day.

Wei Ziwei didn’t want to add more competitors to herself.

But the class monitor was a very nice person and asked her proactively. She really didn’t know how to refuse!
