Luckily, effort always pays off. This time, luck was on our side, and we ended up with ten fruits, making a total of fourteen.

The price of the Void Fruit is relatively high among Level 3 resources. If sold entirely, exchanging them for two Starlight Stones should be no problem.

Chen Yuan assigned this task to Zhou Xu, directly asking him to help exchange for Starlight Stones.

As Chen Yuan’s personal assistant, his duty is to manage all of Chen Yuan’s affairs, big or small.

Zhou Xu agreed eagerly and brought some good news: "Advisor Chen, Chairman Wang has agreed to the riding competition concept you proposed last time."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Really." Zhou Xu nodded, "But you’ll need to provide a more detailed planning scheme, and then professionals will liaise with you."

"Alright." Chen Yuan nodded.

"By the way, Advisor Chen, I just did the math; you don’t need so many Void Fruits to exchange for two Starlight Stones, twelve will do." Zhou Xu spoke again.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan first set aside twelve Void Fruits, then evenly distributed the remaining two Void Fruits.

Fortunately, the Void Fruits are large enough. Even though the number of farm employees is increasing, every little guy can still enjoy a taste.

However, just as Chen Yuan sliced the Void Fruit, the farm gate echoed with Iron Head’s voice: "Ka."

Chen Yuan walked to the gate and saw a small green frog with a crossbody bag.

"You again?" Chen Yuan was taken aback.

Last time when distributing Void Fruits, this Far Traveling Frog suddenly appeared and exchanged a piece of Lotus Leaf for a chunk of fruit with Duck.

Now, just after dividing the Void Fruits, this guy appeared again.

Is its sense of smell really that sharp?

"Guagua."

Sure enough, upon seeing Chen Yuan, the Far Traveling Frog pulled out a Lotus Leaf from its crossbody bag, trying to exchange it for some fruit.

Chen Yuan turned around to find that the little ones had already finished the Void Fruits, not leaving a trace.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to look at the pouting Run Run Duck and said, "Duck, hand it over."

"Ga?"

Run Run Duck blinked, looking puzzled.

"Give me the piece of fruit you’re hiding; next time I’ll give you an extra piece." Chen Yuan focused intently on Run Run Duck.

Upon hearing this, Run Run Duck, under the gaze of its little friends, pulled out a piece of fruit from within the thick feathered wing: "Gaga."

Duck’s only got this one piece.

Chen Yuan took the fruit: "Thanks."

This Far Traveling Frog is quite mysterious, with its strange crossbody bag. Making a good connection with it won’t be wrong.

Chen Yuan crouched, waved the piece of fruit in his hand, and asked the Far Traveling Frog, "Do you have anything else?"

"Guagua."

The Far Traveling Frog stuffed the Lotus Leaf back into the bag and rummaged through it, pulling out a heap of items.

Chen Yuan looked down, his expression becoming more peculiar.

"Second-level resource Blazing Fruit, second-level resource Electric Quenching Grass, third-level resource Star Meteorite..."

Goodness, is this a portable treasure trove?

And how can such a small crossbody bag hold so many things? Is this reasonable?

Is this a wandering merchant in the Pet Beast realm?

Seeing the resources laid out on the ground, the little ones’ eyes lit up instantly.

Especially Cola, whose eyes were fixed with bright flashes.

Chen Yuan used the piece of fruit to exchange for a second-level resource, curiously asking, "Aren’t you afraid of getting robbed with so many things?"

Upon hearing this, the Far Traveling Frog immediately looked at Chen Yuan with caution, then rapidly stuffed everything back into the crossbody bag.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the items disappeared.

Chen Yuan was even more astounded.

You, this guy, surely aren’t an ordinary Water-type Pet Beast!

Seeing the Far Traveling Frog being so vigilant towards him, Chen Yuan spread his hands and explained, "Don’t worry, I’m just concerned you might encounter danger."

The Far Traveling Frog didn’t respond, merely stepping back a few paces.

Chen Yuan cleared his throat, "If you have more precious things in the future, you can come to me to exchange them for fruits."

"Guagua." The Far Traveling Frog nodded.

"By the way, have you seen a type of purple-blue flower that only blooms at night?" Chen Yuan asked.

Being a wandering merchant, it must be knowledgeable and perhaps has seen the Heart-Seeing Flower.

"Guagua." The Far Traveling Frog shook its head.

Chen Yuan was a bit disappointed: "Please keep an eye out for it; let me know if you see such a flower."

The frog nodded obediently, but noticed Chen Yuan’s gaze falling on the crossbody bag and the group of eager-eyed pet beasts behind him, quickly clutching the bag tightly and hopped away.

Chen Yuan rubbed his chin: "Really, I’m not going to snatch,"

"Ow....."

Cola retracted its eager gaze, quite agreeing with its owner’s words.

Absolutely, we are all law-abiding good pet beasts, wouldn’t do such a thing.

After this little episode, Chen Yuan was just about to head back when Zhang Hao’s call interrupted him, asking him to attend a meeting at the office.

Chen Yuan asked the little ones to guard the farm, then hurried to the office.

Not yet inside the office, he already heard the noisy sounds of discussion coming from within:

"I disagree with this proposal. If we’re going to do it, let’s aim to do the best, stretch the budget to the maximum!"

"Agreed! Our Xuanhe Village rarely gets an opportunity to showcase itself, so let’s not be stingy."

"Agreed."

Chen Yuan pushed the door open and surveyed around, finding the room filled with people of status and influence from the village.

The village chief and Song Guohao sat at the main seats, while Zhang Hao, due to multiple roles, sat at a corner.

As soon as Chen Yuan entered, everyone stood up in unison, either nodding or greeting vocally.

In no time, Chen Yuan learned the theme of the meeting—the detailed planning for the riding competition was being discussed.
