Chapter 174 - 139: Breakthrough to Tier Four, the Farmer-Assisting Livestream Got Bigger

Around ten o’clock, Jiang Cai’Er and Aunt Jiang arrived. Jiang Cai’Er was on her monthly break from school this morning, and as soon as she got back and heard that Li Xiang was streaming to sell bamboo shoots, she rushed over to join the fun.

But when she took a look, she saw three girls surrounding Li Xiang in the livestream frame and immediately felt a surge of displeasure.

Even though she knew Li Xiang had signed the three of them, she was still unhappy. ’I should be the one by his side, helping him with the stream!’

But on second thought, she figured they were just employees; it wasn’t worth getting upset. ’If he really took a liking to one of them, he would just marry her, not keep her on as an employee.’

Jiang Cai’Er mulled it over. During a break in the stream, she waved Li Xiang over and asked to join.

Li Xiang asked, "If you join the sales stream now, won’t your homeroom teacher have a problem with it?"

"It’s fine! My grades are great now!" Jiang Cai’Er wanted to tell Li Xiang about her situation, but with so many people around, she trailed off.

And so, Jiang Cai’Er joined the stream, leaving Li Xiang to lead a broadcast with four girls.

However, having more people had its advantages. They didn’t need to stop for lunch and could instead eat in shifts.

First, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui went to eat. After they finished, they took over for Li Xiang and Jiang Cai’Er. Splitting into two groups worked out quite well.

Around four in the afternoon, the SF Express truck arrived.

This time, because the volume was so large and Li Xiang was now a fairly well-known streamer, he had arranged with the local SF Express branch for on-site pickup.

Previously, he had to haul everything over with a tractor. Now it was much simpler—one phone call and an SF Express van would come right to his door.

Looking at the mountain of packed parcels, the SF Express workers gave him a thumbs-up in praise. A remote, impoverished place like Li Family Village was really getting better and better, all thanks to Li Xiang.

Two SF Express workers arrived. They weighed the packages on-site and applied the shipping labels. As for the cost, it would be billed monthly as per their agreement.

The contract was signed in the name of his tourism development company, so the payments would be handled through the corporate account. Compared to shipping individual parcels, this was much cheaper.

This wasn’t just for bamboo shoots; in the future, they would also be shipping tea and liquor.

As for coffee, it would be shipped directly from Yunnan Province in the future. Li Xiang had visited the coffee estates there and found the quality to be excellent.

The National Tea House, National Style Tavern, and the coffee shop would all stock inventory for online sales in addition to their in-person business.

The SF Express team left a little after six in the evening. The truck they sent today had been a bit small; they promised to bring a larger one tomorrow.

That evening, the bamboo shoot stream continued, but they ended it at 8:30 PM. It wasn’t safe for the girls to head home too late. Besides, they had sold a total of over 12,000 jin for the day, which was an incredible result.

With just over 5,000 jin remaining, they were confident they could sell out the next day.

Jiang Cai’Er didn’t join the stream the next day. She was a student, after all, and if she missed too much school, her homeroom teacher would be furious!

Lei Xiaohui also stepped away from the livestream, moving to a behind-the-scenes role to process the unshipped orders.

Li Xiang continued with Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing until three in the afternoon, when everything was sold out. After expressing his sincere gratitude to his fans, he ended the stream!

"Tomorrow is March 8th, Girls’ Day, so I’m giving you all the day off. Our office isn’t officially set up yet, there aren’t many of us, and we’ve been swamped lately, so I couldn’t prepare anything with a grand sense of ceremony. Instead, let me just give each of you a red envelope."

Li Xiang took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed one to Zhao Xueqing, one to Yao Yao, and one to Lei Xiaohui.

The three women opened them, and their faces immediately broke into wide smiles.

"Thank you, Boss!"

"You’re so generous!"

Inside each red envelope was 800 yuan! This was purely a holiday bonus. What ordinary company offered such great perks? And for Women’s Day, they weren’t just getting half a day off, but the entire day!

The three women were already looking forward to the "sense of ceremony" Li Xiang had promised for next year.

In reality, as long as they weren’t streaming, they mostly worked from home and had a great deal of freedom. There wasn’t much difference between getting half a day off and a full day.

When you work from home, who would be foolish enough to grind away from morning till night?

Li Xiang figured he might as well be generous and just grant them the entire day.

SF Express sent two large trucks that day to haul away all the packages. The villagers dispersed, the three women went home, and Li Xiang’s backyard returned to its usual tranquility.

’I can head out early tonight and go treasure hunting again.’ Li Xiang was practically buzzing with excess energy. He decided to skip sleep, head out at eleven, and spend some extra time scouring the Primeval Forest.

At dusk, as the sun began to set, the sky was set ablaze with fiery clouds that painted half the heavens red. The mountain view was breathtaking. After finishing dinner, Jiang Cai’Er came looking for Li Xiang.

The two of them played the flute for a while in the backyard’s Chicken Blood Stone Jungle, after which Jiang Cai’Er quietly told him about her situation.

"Li Xiang," she began, "I’ve already condensed my first Spiritual Power Vortex and awakened my first Superpower!"

"What’s your Superpower?" Li Xiang asked, his curiosity piqued.

Jiang Cai’Er raised a delicate eyebrow, her voice full of pride. "Memory Palace!"

Li Xiang was stunned. ’It’s actually that one?’

Even in his past life, he had only ever heard of someone awakening this Superpower. It was the kind of ability that was exceedingly rare.

That person later became the chief advisor to the military’s think tank. This was because the second form of the Memory Palace was even more adept at deduction, analysis, and processing complex information.

With a Superpower like this, getting into Qingbei would be a sure thing for Jiang Cai’Er. Li Xiang was happy for her. In the future, she would undoubtedly become a powerful ally.
