A little scoundrel

Chapter 149 Accidentally Alarming Half the Business Circle

Although the authorities had repeatedly issued denials, many viewers still harbored secret suspicions, hoping for some supernatural phenomenon to appear later.

As if aware of their hidden thoughts, Bai Ye’s lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

Gou Dan was working diligently, climbing the mountain with incredible speed. Knowing that the large creature within the volcano had been subdued by Bai Ye and was now considered one of their own, Gou Dan had no reservations.

“Woof woof woof!! (Master, we’ve arrived!)”

Soon, a large group of creatures arrived at the summit of the volcano. Standing on the sturdy, irregular protruding rocks at the edge of the crater, they peered down into the volcano, revealing a beautiful landscape within, akin to a paradise.

Lush green forests surrounded a clear blue lake, the picturesque scenery spread out before them, breathtakingly beautiful. The viewers’ eyes instantly lit up.

“(⊙ᗜ⊙) Wow!! The scenery inside this volcano is too beautiful!”

“It really is an extinct volcano! Hiss~ This is simply a fairyland, much more beautiful than Mount Fuji in Country R!”

“Brother Ye’s volcano could be designated as the eleventh mountain in our Great Xia Kingdom! ⋋⁞◔﹏◔⁞⋌”

“I thought there would be lava eruptions and fearsome monsters hidden inside! This… is a bit different from what I imagined!”

“Hahaha… If there were really monsters hidden here, they couldn’t possibly have such beautiful natural scenery, right? We were overthinking it, overthinking it!”

Deep within the blue lake, Lydia felt a surge of joy upon sensing Bai Ye’s presence.

Master is here!!! Did Master chase away that S-class fellow so quickly???

So powerful! Thankfully, I didn’t run…

Master is coming!

Lydia excitedly swam towards the lake surface. The water rippled, and just as she was about to emerge, Bai Ye’s voice sounded out of thin air.

“Do not come out!”

The voice carried a hint of warning, causing the excited Lydia’s body to tremble. She immediately stopped herself.

What’s wrong? Does Master know about my thought of escaping just now?

Thinking of Bai Ye’s various mysterious and terrifying abilities, Lydia grew increasingly guilty.

It’s over…

Within the forest of the crater, Bai Ye, riding Gou Dan, led a large group of sheepdogs to the edge of the lake.

All along the way, the trees were tall and luxuriant, and various rare flowers and exotic plants were a common sight.

“Everyone, see! Did I lie to you? Where are the monsters?”

Bai Ye said with a serious expression, dismounting from Gou Dan. He walked to the lake, scooped up some water, washed his hands, and then his face, feeling instantly invigorated.

Hearing Bai Ye’s words, the viewers in the livestream either nodded blankly or wore expressions of regret.

As for the gently rippling lake before them, its water was clear but bottomless, sparking some interest.

“This lake water is so clean! It’s comparable to the water source of Nongfu Spring!”

“Brother Ye is actually washing his hands and face with such clean water! It’s too extravagant. If it were me, I’d definitely take a few sips!”

“If I were Brother Ye, I’d start a mineral water company called Magic Mineral Water! With Brother Ye’s fame, it would surely push Nongfu Spring aside!”

“But Brother Ye isn’t short of money. Things like companies would just waste his time…”

Bai Ye found the ideas proposed by the talented individuals in the livestream somewhat interesting.

Not only was this lake water clean, but it also contained magical elements. Although in trace amounts, if ordinary people could absorb it, it would bring immense benefits to the human body!

Of course, achieving his level of ‘superhuman’ physique was impossible, but it could enhance immune systems, help those with weak health achieve an ordinary physique, and make ordinary people slightly stronger than before.

Bai Ye was slightly moved.

There was a spatial rift at the bottom of the lake, continuously supplying magical elements. But would the lake water deplete?

He guessed that the mutation of the entire ranch depended on this lake. If the lake water dried up, the ranch would also be ruined.

Although this would be good for the Great Xia Kingdom, Bai Ye felt a sense of reluctance. Over these past days, he had gradually come to accept this ranch, treating it as a home.

If only he could connect an underground waterway to maintain the lake’s water supply…

Even though artificial supply would reduce the magical element content in the lake compared to before, it was better than nothing. And if necessary, he could occasionally be more economical and pour in half a bottle of magic potion to replenish it…

At that time, his mineral water would be a refueling station for men and a beauty and nourishment water for women!!!

Bai Ye’s eyes brightened slightly, and he made a decision. Although he wasn’t interested in money, he was quite willing to secretly help everyone eliminate diseases and maintain good health.

“Thank you to ‘National Male Neurosis’ for the idea, your suggestion is excellent! I’ve decided to invest over a billion to build a natural mineral water plaza.”

“The brother who suggested this idea will receive lifetime free drinking of my natural mineral water!”

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ Holy crap???

Bai Ye’s words shocked the netizens collectively. They never expected that a casual discussion among viewers would be recognized by Bai Ye.

Moreover, he was planning to invest over a billion right off the bat!!!

The atmosphere in the livestream was instantly ignited once more.

“@‘National Male Neurosis’ brother, wake up, you’re famous!”

“@‘National Male Neurosis’ So envious! I actually had a similar idea, but I didn’t voice it…”

“I can already see the world’s mineral water industry welcoming a prehistoric beast!”

“As long as the quality is good, with Brother Ye’s fame, it will definitely sell well!”

“It’s hard to say if it can enter the top ten global brands, but domestically it can definitely break into the top three!!”

“Brother Ye, will it be listed? Can I invest?”

“I prepared a 500,000 betrothal gift, but now I don’t want to get married. I want to invest…”

Not only them, but some investors also became excited upon hearing the news and couldn’t help but make their move.

【Jinhua Investment Group sent a Carnival x100】: “Jinhua Investment Group has a 30-year history in the Great Xia Kingdom’s financial industry, with stable capital. We sincerely wish to cooperate with ‘Brother Ye’.”

【Ababa Group sent an Angel’s Guardian x100】: “If ‘Brother Ye’ is willing, Ababa Group will provide you with the greatest resources to build a mineral water brand with global influence.”

【Penguin Holdings sent an Angel’s Guardian x100】: “Starting with appearance, falling for character, loyal to talent. We wish to join hands with ‘Brother Ye’ to build the world’s best brand.”

w(@。@;)w Holy crap, holy crap!!!

Seeing the dazzling array of gifts constantly appearing in the livestream, the viewers were filled with awe.

“Oh my heavens! Two of the biggest business empires in our Great Xia Kingdom have arrived!”

“Hiss~ Brother Ye’s influence is truly terrifying!”

“With just one sentence, he has shaken up almost half of the business circles in our Great Xia Kingdom!”

“Brother Ye yyds!!!”

Bai Ye himself was also somewhat surprised. He never expected that his venture as an entertainment magic streamer would attract so many big players!!

And unbeknownst to him and the viewers, at this very moment, the high echelons of the Great Xia Kingdom, even the leader Liu Qinmin, had been alerted.

Those financial enterprises were drawn by Bai Ye’s fame and commercial value. However, the official high-ranking officials knew the true value hidden within this lake.

Liu Qinmin pondered for a moment and contacted Elder Song.

“Ask him what conditions he has for his enterprise to be nationalized…”
