While Mayor Su almost mentally broke down, the System’s voice sounded in Hong Dali’s head—

[Side Mission 2 (Upgraded): Nature’s Little Prodigal completed!

Effect enhancement for the perfect-grade title: Listening to the voice of the mountains and forests Host is able to feel the goodwill of nature.]

Upon hearing the System’s voice, Hong Dali was instantly dazed.

What… What the heck! What the heck!

This is awesome! I didn’t dare to squander too much all this time because this mission hadn’t been completed yet! I didn’t expect it to be completed this way! Brouhaha! This is finally completed, I never thought that the requirement was to save an environment that was about to be polluted, haha!

This is awesome, I’m immune to natural disasters in the mountains and forests now! Furthermore, the effect is enhanced. I can feel the goodwill of nature now. But what is it? Am I able to find some incredible stuff in the mountains and forests because of this ability!?

Oh my, this times’ squandering is really invigorating. Haha, awesome!

Hong Dali didn’t care about the remaining issues, he was anxious to return to Water Spirit Village to see how the shooting was going with the children. Then, he planned to bring everyone along for a walk in the forests and mountains to feel what it was like.

As he was thinking this, Mayor Su carefully asked, “Are you free later, Young Master Dali? I would like to invite you for dinner, is that OK?”

This must be the legendary social event?

“No, not free!” Hong Dali decisively shook his head. “I have a lot of stuff to do. Mayor Su, you can just focus on your work, you don’t have to bother about me.” Saying so, Hong Dali stood up and said, “Since we have finished matters here, I shall be going back. Remember, without my orders, don’t do anything to this land!”

“Of course, of course!” This was the God of Fortune, he would definitely have a lot of benefits as long as Hong Dali was pleased with him. Mayor Su remembered Hong Dali’s words deeply in his heart and sent them down. “I shall start by looking for a construction team to build the road. As for the rest, I shall wait for your orders.”

“OK, good.”

Having settled the matters here, Hong Dali and the rest instantly went back to the helicopters and returned to Water Spirit Village.

Once he alighted, Hong Dali looked around the village again. Oh my, from now on, this shall be my territory. Plus the land at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, hahaha, I have two pieces of land now!

Hm, since I have already bought this place, I should go take a look around, right? Hong Dali asked Mu Yuxi, “Sister Yuxi, is the shooting completed yet? How is it?”

“It’s done.” Mu Yuxi took over the camcorder and showed Hong Dali. “Young Master Dali, look. Is it OK?”

In the video, people couldn’t help but chuckle at the children’s actions. Children of their age were at the period where they were the most playful and interesting. Plus, Little Wang Mo would play with the toy models or take out a costume and cosplay some anime characters when they had nothing to do, causing everyone to laugh non-stop.

It was no wonder why “Where Are We Going, Dad” had such a high viewership in his previous life. These five kids plus the little grown-up Wang Mo were practically glimmering with light just standing there alone, not to mention that their dads were well-known figures in the entertainment industry. By this time, even a fool could tell that this variety show would definitely have a high viewership rating.

As she watched, Tang Muxin grinned and said, “Just looking at these cute children alone I know that this episode won’t have any problems.”

Mu Yuxi looked at the children playing games in the distance and sighed. Just a random idea that Young Master thought of is so interesting, it’s no wonder he can achieve his current results. It wasn’t just by coincidence.

As for Catherine, she was looking at the children with stars in her eyes and exclaiming, “Young Master, this idea of yours is really fabulous! Can I apply to shoot this show too after I return to Merika?”

“Ah, sure, use it if you want.” Hong Dali nodded without even thinking for a second. “It isn’t difficult, anyway. Let’s go, we shall have some food first, then go and take a walk around…”

It was a little past four in the afternoon now. There wasn’t any specialty or delicious food here, but Hong Dali wasn’t picky. If there was nice food, he would eat it. If there wasn’t, it was also fine for him to just eat something normal. Basically, he was easy to raise.

After they were done eating, Hong Dali wiped his mouth and stretched. “I’m full. The rest of you can have some free time if you have nothing to do, I shall go take a walk in the mountains. Lackeys, let’s go!”

…

In a mountain near Water Spirit Village.

“Dali, are you sure it’s fine coming here?” Tang Muxin pulled on Hong Dali’s sleeve while the nine lackeys were following behind them, the group of them venturing into the mountains.

“Ah, I’m just taking a casual look around here.” Speaking of which, after his title of “Nature’s Best Friend” was upgraded, Hong Dali felt very comfortable in the forests and mountains. A sense of tranquility seemed to radiate from the trees nearby. Hong Dali casually waved his hand at a squirrel and it actually jumped onto his head from a tree!

“Haha, this little thing is so cute!” Tang Muxin’s eyes were filled with stars. “Dali, you really are the animals’ best friend. This little thing isn’t afraid of you at all!”

The squirrel was very cute, it even placed the fruit that it was hugging onto Tang Muxin’s hand. Then, it jumped back and forth continuously, its cute actions causing them to chuckle.

“Hehe, like I said, if you love nature, nature will love you back.” Hong Dali grinned. “It’s lucky that we went there in time. If they had brought away the contract, it wouldn’t be easy to go back on it.”

“Yup, it would be a pity if such a good environment was destroyed.” Tang Muxin nodded. She agreed with Hong Dali on this point. “Dali, once this road of yours is completed, I reckon that it will be much easier for the villagers to earn money. It can be considered that you are doing a very good deed.”

“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali was satisfied and said, “Today’s squandering felt really good!”

It was almost evening now, the Sun’s rays shone on them through the hole between the tree’s leaves, leaving them warm and comfortable.

The air in the forest was really fresh, carrying with it a light soil scent. The constant sounds of the bugs could be heard, and they could also occasionally hear the sounds of birds chirping.

They were at the foot of the mountain near Water Spirit Village now. Because the forests and mountains weren’t really being developed, there weren’t any paths here. Therefore, they didn’t venture very far inside.

But even just this outer area, it already felt very comfortable.

Having been accustomed to living in the city, coming to such a natural environment which had rivers and mountains was a really unique experience.

“Oh my, this feels so good.” Hong Dali smacked his lips and praised, “This piece of forest is really quite good, just that there isn’t anywhere suitable for humans to stay in. If we can build a wooden cottage or something here, that will be great. We’ll be like elves, we can make a city here…”

Of course, he was just saying that casually. It was practical to try and achieve it.

“Dali, look at this small squirrel, it’s so cute.” Tang Muxin let the squirrel rest on her shoulder, grinned and said, “It’s like as long as you are around, these animals won’t be afraid of us.”

“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali proudly said, “I’m the animals’ best friend.”

As they were chatting, the small squirrel looked around at the surroundings and suddenly jumped down to the ground and quickly climbed up a tree. Then, rustling sounds could be heard. Just as they were curious as to what was happening, a foolish-looking black bear crawled towards them!

“Da… Dali, black bear, it’s a black bear!” Tang Muxin hurriedly stood closer to Hong Dali. “It’s coming towards us, what should we do?”

“Ah, it’s fine, don’t worry.” Bearing the title of Animal’s Best Friend, Hong Dali was very calm. He cheered and greeted the black bear, “Hey, big bear, come here and have a seat, hehe.”

Hearing Hong Dali’s words, the big black bear actually stood up, placed its claws tightly together and waved them up and down—it actually knew how to cup its hands together and greet Hong Dali!

Everyone was instantly amused. They frequently encountered all kinds of weird things by following the Young Master around. Today, they really had an eye-opener.

Very quickly, the big bear beamed with delight, walked up to them, and rolled about on the ground, exposing its tummy in front of Hong Dali. Hong Dali patted its tummy, beamed with delight and said, “You are so fat!”

The black bear panted and then actually clasped its face with its two front claws.

“Hehe, this big, foolish bear is really interesting!” Tang Muxin was amused. A short while later, another big black bear actually came out from the forest!

Hong Dali licked his lips and directly gave the black bear lying on the ground a name. “Alright, you shall be called Briar and that one Bramble!”

Yup, if there comes a Logger Vick too, he could directly start shooting the cartoon “Boonie Bears”…

After Briar and Bramble came, just a short while later, animals like rabbits, foxes, wild boars, and all the animals nearby came running here too. They sat around Hong Dali in a circle and actually co-existed peacefully. By this time, Tang Muxin felt that something wasn’t right. She carefully asked Hong Dali, “Are these animals here to welcome us?”

The effect of the title “Nature’s Best Friend” is actually so awesome after upgrading?

Hong Dali nodded and said, “Yup, looks like my moral quality is quite good. These animals are all very intelligent. We kind of protected their home, so I think they chose to welcome us here, hehe.”

“That’s true.” Ling Xiaoyi also said, “If humans treat animals nicely, animals will treat humans nicely too. To be honest, I feel that interacting with animals is much simpler than interacting with humans. We just have to be nice to them.”

“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali nodded affirmatively. “Animals are humans’ best friends after all, haha!”

As he said so, a monkey suddenly climbed down from a tree, came up to Hong Dali and started pulling his elbow.

“Hm? Little monkey, is something wrong?” Hong Dali felt strange and asked, “Do you want me to go somewhere with you?”

However, the monkey didn’t pull Hong Dali anywhere. It waited for Hong Dali to stretch out his hand and actually placed a strange wooden bracelet onto his wrist!
