Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 877 - 555: Rebuilding_6

Plus a few other matters.

After considering various factors, the upper management would prioritize matters involving Feng Yi and the Ancestral Factory.

After the document was officially stamped, someone joked that the nickname "Snake Mountain" for Xiao Feng Mountain could be canceled.

Really?

Not necessarily.

Mute Uncle wanted to find out more, and even if A’que wouldn’t talk, he still had other friends.

And then he found out something.

Feng Yi was going to raise snakes here!

Of course, it wouldn’t be like before, marking out a conservation area and raising lots of snakes.

Feng Yi planned to raise the one he had adopted there.

"He’s going to raise snakes here?!" Mute Uncle asked, looking at the message he received.

A’que, who was pulled over by Mute Uncle, explained expressionlessly, "It’s just marking out a suitable place, not very big, Feng Yi said it’s just to set up a koi pond. The plan has already been approved."

During this period when two typhoons appeared consecutively at very low latitudes, the python "Little Koi" refused to eat again.

It became more sensitive to changes in the environment, and its health deteriorated, causing Steve and the zoo staff headaches for many days.

It now refused to eat frequently, and even though the incidents passed, the situation continued, saying it was overreacting to its current environment.

There were also guesses that it might be due to a genetic mutation.

Many genetically mutated species develop various problems as they grow, much more fragile compared to their wild counterparts.

But the research value of "Little Koi" was very high, experiments regarding the mutation of its oral bacteria were still ongoing, and no one wanted to see it encounter problems.

In response, Feng Yi suggested relocating it to a cleaner place.

Raising it on Xiao Feng Mountain would be good, he had already contracted the management of Xiao Feng Mountain, setting up a plan and marking a spot as a "koi pond."

Initially, experts disagreed with moving "Little Koi" to Xiao Feng Mountain, fearing it wouldn’t adapt to the environment there.

Feng Yi still wrote an application.

He said that once the koi pond there was fixed, they’d first move it over to try for a few days. If its condition improved, they would continue to raise it there; if problems occurred, they’d move it back to the zoo or to Steve’s place.

After consideration, the management department agreed.

Mainly because no one could think of another solution at the time.

The zoo was under considerable pressure. If the zoo and Steve both failed to keep it, this python would likely be moved to a research center.

What would happen if it was moved to a research center, they all knew.

Steve, feeling distressed, specifically asked Feng Yi if there were any other options.

Feng Yi then made this suggestion.

Compared to others, Steve certainly trusted Feng Yi more. Steve also exerted his influence to get the application approved.

Mute Uncle: "..."

Damn koi pond!

However, the koi pond and such were minor issues, Mute Uncle had other concerns.

The land that belonged to the Xiao Feng ancestral home on the mountain was actually very large, with buildings occupying only a part of it, and it could be slightly expanded.

Feng Yi took a walk around and came back.

"The ancestral home will just be slightly expanded, some parts need to be repaired..."

From the first word he said, Mute Uncle directly poked at his phone: "Are you going to dig up the ancestral grave?!"

Feng Yi: "It’s just adding a room, and when I live here, it will be quite peaceful. To maintain the mountain’s ecology and prevent other small animals from entering, the walls can be repaired to encompass the ancestral home..."

Mute Uncle: "Are you going to dig up the ancestral grave?!"

Feng Yi: "After it’s built, I’ll stay here for a long time, keep you company—happy about that?"

Mute Uncle: "..."

Closing his eyes in agony, it seemed as if he was bidding farewell to his easy-going life.

When Feng Yi went out again, Mute Uncle pulled A’que aside for a brief conversation.

Mute Uncle was getting old and wouldn’t always stay here. When the day came for him to leave, someone needed to replace him and continue to watch over this place.

A’que would be a very suitable candidate.

A’que shared the same genes as the past generations and had a closer relationship with Feng Yi. He was capable and could keep secrets. His unique physique might even allow him to live longer than Feng Yi.

A’que: "Guard the house?"

Mute Uncle: "In a sense, this place is like the family’s ancestral grave! Don’t let him dig up the ’ancestral grave’; there’s nothing to dig out! Digging a big hole and filling it up is a lot of trouble! It would also ruin the house’s foundation!"

Why did Feng Yi’s aunt grandma decide to rebuild this place years ago? Was it really just because the old house was too old and needed maintenance?

"That bear child just needs sorting out! Feng Yi is like that, and his aunt grandma was the same! Both need sorting out!" Mute Uncle’s phone emitted an emotional voice.

A’que, with a blank expression, calmly said, "Can’t beat them."

He paused, then added, "Can’t beat any of them."

Mute Uncle looked at him and took a deep breath, typing frantically on his phone:

"You, you’re really not like your mother (delete)... original body (delete)... your dad (delete)... Ah, that person you understand, you’re really not at all like him!"

A’que looked up, his voice calm yet forceful as he asked, "If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you actually? Your ID doesn’t seem genuine."

"..." Mute Uncle pinched his fingers as if holding a green pea, texting, "When I got my ID made, I might have reported being slightly younger."

A’que did not dwell on this issue, and simply asked:

"Why did you choose me? Couldn’t you have chosen someone else?"

Blood ties were not the absolute factor—Feng Yi was not short of trustworthy and capable people around him.

Mute Uncle grew even more emotional, his phone’s voice feature saying: "Other people? If he digs up the ancestral grave, other people would just stand by and hand him the shovel!"

After talking with Mute Uncle, A’que went to find Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was not far away, and perhaps he had heard much of Mute Uncle’s heated voice.

Or maybe Mute Uncle wanted Feng Yi to hear.

Feng Yi looked at the scenery near the ancestral home, yet he did not discuss the topic Mute Uncle had mentioned:

"This planet beneath our feet might be 4.6 billion years old, it’s still young. No one knows how many civilizations it might have bid farewell to. No one can be certain how life actually began...

"And no one can be sure if, during the evolution of native life, there might have been some mysterious little accidents.

"Ten thousand years is enough to evolve from savage tribes to space operations."

Feng Yi asked A’que: "What do you think? How many civilizations might this planet beneath our feet have experienced?" fгeewebnovёl.com

A’que shook his head silently. He had never considered these things.

Feng Yi flicked his finger, tossing a zodiac charm to A’que.

"The first time I met the steward, he told me this thing was ’old technology’. I once thought it referred to some metaphysical force."

Feng Yi recalled when he first came to Xiao Feng Mountain, entered the secret chamber of the ancestral home, and saw that thing that changed the trajectory of his life.

"Do you think, on this planet, there might have been some... advanced technology?"

A’que thought seriously for a moment: "Perhaps."

"Maybe there’s even a spaceship hidden beneath our feet!" Feng Yi laughed, "A’que, let’s dig it up!"

A’que: "..."

A’que maintained a stern face.

Feng Yi: "Haha, don’t worry, just kidding!"

A’que looked at the ancestral home, estimating in his mind, the residence had not been repaired for some years, maybe it was time for another repair?
