Chapter 6: The Forest Tribes Request

Chapter 6: The Forest Tribes Request

Lu Yao had managed to discreetly slip out of the office early the previous day, but as the sun rose on a new dawn, the entire company had transformed into a collective of overworked and weary souls. Oblivious to the mounting frustration brewing outside his office, the boss returned and immediately called for an impromptu meeting. When he arrived, a storm of anger erupted from him, his words slicing through the air like daggers as he criticized and berated everyone present. His demands for recent work summaries before allowing anyone to leave only added fuel to the already blazing fire of despondency that engulfed the entire company.

In the midst of the swirling chaos, Lu Yao's colleague, Sister Peng, approached him with a small gesture of kindness. She offered him a wafer to settle his grumbling stomach, which he gratefully accepted, feeling the pangs of hunger gradually subside.

Sister Peng, one of the three businesspeople in the company, possessed a gentle demeanor and an affable nature, despite not conforming to conventional standards of beauty. Initially, she suspected that Lu Yao had influential connections, prompting her to establish a good rapport. However, as time went on, she discovered that Lu Yao lacked such backing. Nevertheless, she found him to be reliable and dependable in his work, someone she could count on during critical moments. Most importantly, Sister Peng detected a striking resemblance between Lu Yao's temperament and that of her cousin, which prompted her to take him under her wing and care for him.

Curiosity brimming in her voice, Sister Peng leaned in closer to Lu Yao and whispered, "Do you know why the boss is so mad?"

Lu Yao shook his head, genuinely unaware of the reason behind the boss's fury. Visjt novelbin(.)com for new updates

His eyes sparkling with the thrill of sharing gossip, Sister Peng disclosed, "His car was vandalized."

The image of the boss's white BMW X5, a vehicle perpetually adorned with young and ever-changing female passengers, flickered in Lu Yao's mind. However, he remained blissfully oblivious to other aspects of the boss's life.

With a conspiratorial tone, Sister Peng continued, savoring the taste of juicy information, "The culprit turned out to be a child, the son of the boss's close friend."

Her voice tinged with emphasis, she added, "Just two days ago, the boss lost a significant contract yet again. Rumor has it that a young upstart snatched it away, overshadowing even the most seasoned veterans... It's like losing a battle to a rookie soldier."

Lu Yao nodded, carefully absorbing the details as his mind began to morph into a canvas of simulations and possibilities.

After enduring the boss's oppressive presence until he finally departed, Sister Peng picked up her handbag and extended a kind offer to Lu Yao, "Want a ride? We're going in the same direction anyway."

Politely declining, Lu Yao replied, "No, thank you. I'm planning to take a leisurely stroll and perhaps do some shopping."

Understanding his desire for independence, Sister Peng replied, "Then take care of yourself."

As Lu Yao prepared to depart, Sister Peng suddenly recalled recent events, her voice filled with a mix of intrigue and concern. "Oh, by the way, have you heard about the recent incidents involving a deviant individual who derives pleasure from rendering people unconscious, undressing them, and suspending themselveswith a rope?"

Lu Yao had indeed heard about the incident, though he found it difficult to comprehend such a peculiar and unsettling predilection.

As he uncovered the wheat seeds, a prompt appeared on the screen, asking if he wanted to bestow this gift upon his believers. Without hesitation, he clicked "Yes."

In an instant, exclamation marks appeared above the heads of the tribal villagers outside the temple. Their arms raised in joyful celebration as they cheered in unison.

"The god has blessed us with seeds!"

"Long live the gift! Long live the miracle!"

"Great God, we express our gratitude for this bountiful gift!"

"Wheat! Such incredible bounty!"

"Food! Nourishment for our bodies!"

"Let us feast, my fellow tribespeople!"

Just then, the Prophet entered the temple and knelt on the ground, a question mark etched on his forehead. Lu Yao dismissed his doubts and affirmed his actions.

...

"Great God, the forest tribe has learned of a dying apostle of the old god. They seek to offer it as a sacrifice to you. However, they humbly request our assistance in learning the sacred art of wheat cultivation. Wheat, being a precious resource, requires careful consideration. With utmost sincerity, I implore the all-knowing God Yao for divine guidance."

The prompt appeared, inquiring if Lu Yao wished to share the knowledge of wheat cultivation with the forest tribe.

Could he entrust them with the trade of wheat?
