The Real Way to Cultivate in the City
Chapter 208 - 160: Beast Soul Garden (Part 2)
Mr. Li: "Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Li Chuchu started searching online for key information on the topic of "color withdrawal."
Li Chuchu felt as if the door to a new world was opening to her.
Is withdrawal as difficult as it says on the internet?
Then why does Lin Hao act like this towards me...
Pa.
Li Chuchu knocked herself on the head, trying to focus more.
After a night of searching, Li Chuchu felt that even if her family’s money was poured into "color withdrawal," it might not even stir a ripple.
But when it concerns her mother’s life, it must stir a ripple, no matter what!
It’s like getting a terminal illness; if you can’t cure it, do you just give up the treatment?
What a joke, that’s her mother!
Make money! Li Chuchu suddenly felt motivated to earn money again!
When Li Chuchu first opened a milk tea shop, she didn’t think much about it. She just wanted a source of income after her allowance was cut off so she wouldn’t have to ask her family for money.
After Lin Hao joined, Li Chuchu had an even greater motivation to earn lots of money, so her father wouldn’t pressure her to marry, and even if she left home, she could still...
Be part of a wealthy family.
But after her father stopped pressuring her to get married, Li Chuchu’s motivation for making money wasn’t very high. Her aim in earning money was simply to forge a deeper connection with Lin Hao.
She herself didn’t have a strong understanding or desire for money.
Now, though, making money! A lot of it!
She opened her computer to write about the future plans for Happy Milk Tea.
The Happy Milk Tea industry must be expanded and strengthened, continue to prosper...the surroundings of Happy Milk Tea also need to be enriched and expanded to continually strengthen the brand value, forming a certain fan economy...Happy Milk Tea’s operating income shouldn’t be limited to just one or two cities...
As she wrote, daylight broke, and Li Chuchu, who stayed up all night, felt very weary when she stood up.
Li Chuchu instinctively went to the bag rack, intending to open her satchel, but upon reaching, she remembered that Lin Hao’s elixir had already been consumed...
"Ah, I’m so sleepy."
Li Chuchu gave a big yawn and wanted to nap a little, but when she checked the time, it was already half past eight, so she decided to snooze for ten minutes.
The living room in the booth seemed to have some movement.
As Li Chuchu opened the door, Qianqian was already awake; she didn’t know when she’d torn open the instant noodles provided by the hotel, and she was rubbing her little hands, waiting for the right time to eat.
"Qianqian, remember to brush your teeth."
"Mm-hmm."
Li Chuchu closed the door, and just as she was about to dive into bed, a sudden, unparalleled sense of relaxation washed over her, instantly clearing away the fatigue from staying up all night!
She felt extremely energetic!
Looking at herself in the mirror, her complexion seemed much better, and due to the sudden mental clarity, many ideas began to appear in her mind. These ideas needed to be documented!
A good memory is not as reliable as a worn-out pen.
When Lin Hao knocked on the door, Li Chuchu merely called out to Qianqian to open it.
"Aren’t you having breakfast?"
Lin Hao walked into the room and, seeing the instant noodles on the coffee table, tapped Qianqian on the head:
"Eating instant noodles first thing in the morning?"
Qianqian: "Teacher Lin, I’m not trying to fill up, just taste it. It’s a bit early for you to comment, I haven’t even eaten yet!"
At this point, Qianqian looked towards Li Chuchu’s room and whispered to Lin Hao:
"Teacher Lin, my Spiritual Power surged nearly double just now. Although my Superpower [This is normal] hasn’t advanced, I have a stronger control over myself. After soaking the noodles, I haven’t even eaten them! Amazing, right?"
Lin Hao: "Amazing, amazing."
This must be the "everyone who sees has a share" mentioned in the log.
Lin Hao: "Boss, it’s getting late, we need to eat."
Li Chuchu: "Almost done, my mind’s on fire with inspiration right now."
Lin Hao: "How much longer?"
Li Chuchu: "Give me five minutes! At most five minutes!"
In reality, Li Chuchu was quite punctual. She took three minutes to jot down her ideas, then...
Spent half an hour freshening up and doing her makeup.
Li Chuchu: "Why don’t you guys go ahead and eat?"
Lin Hao: "I’m not hungry yet."
Qianqian hugging the third tub of instant noodles: "I’m not hungry either."
Lin Hao: ...
Once Li Chuchu finished freshening up, the three of them went to the hotel cafeteria for breakfast.
After breakfast, with no plans for the morning, Li Chuchu suggested the three of them visit River Debris City’s shopping malls as a form of relaxation and also to explore the local market, check out milk tea sales and taste in the city’s shopping areas.
Lin Hao agreed, while Qianqian had no objections.
Li Chuchu searched on her phone for pet-friendly shopping malls, considering Lin Hao had Wangcai and she had Xiao Huang. Being stopped at regular malls wouldn’t be convenient.
"How about this one, Chenghua Supermarket? It’s a chain supermarket that has opened in many cities."
Li Chuchu’s hope for Happy Milk Tea’s future is to become a chain brand like Chenghua Supermarket, present in many cities.
Due to having pets, after being refused by several cars, a kind driver finally agreed to take Lin Hao and the others to Chenghua Supermarket:
"Your dog doesn’t shed, right?"
"Your dog doesn’t bite, right?"
"When you bring your dog out, make sure to leash it."
"Why do you young people like keeping dogs? My kid wants one too, but I said no—it costs money, takes time, and smells!"
"They say dogs are a man’s best friend; what’s so friendly about them? Just watch dogs for a living!"
"..."
The driver’s chatter didn’t stop the whole way as the car quickly arrived at Chenghua Supermarket.
"Make sure to keep them leashed! An incident happened recently in River Debris City where someone’s child was bitten!"
After advising the last piece of advice, the driver drove away.
Lin Hao and Li Chuchu exchanged a glance and smiled at each other. What can you say, the driver’s quite a nice person.
Li Chuchu pried Xiao Huang’s jaw open, its teeth hadn’t fully grown yet.
Lin Hao flicked Wangcai’s nose:
"Remember the driver’s words just now?"
Wangcai: "Woof!"
The trio entered Chenghua Supermarket, guided by the staff, and after placing Wangcai and Xiao Huang in pet strollers, Lin Hao and the others began to stroll through the supermarket.
A "fashion dog" like Wangcai caught everyone’s attention in the supermarket quickly.
Some showed kindness towards Wangcai, waving and saying, "Cute dog," while others showed disdain, frowning and steering clear, stopping kids who wanted to approach, warning them, "it might bite"...
Li Chuchu reached into the stroller and patted Xiao Huang on the head, whispering:
"Be a good doggy."
Wangcai also raised its paw and patted Xiao Huang’s head.
Sleeping Xiao Huang opened its eyes, looked at Li Chuchu, glanced at Wangcai, stuck out its tongue with a smile, and dozed off again.
While passing by milk tea shops, they stopped, bought some signature milk tea, poured out a small cup for tasting, and after sampling, the rest was Qianqian’s...
While passing by a toy shop, Li Chuchu suddenly couldn’t move...
Lin Hao tentatively suggested: "How about we grab a toy?"
Li Chuchu: "Sure."
Qianqian: "Ton ton ton."
But just as Lin Hao stepped into the toy shop and bought game coins, Lin Hao’s log showed a notification—
