The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 407 - 406 Factory District

Nian Shutong didn’t even look as she reached out and grabbed the one from Fu Yunhe’s left hand.

"It feels like no matter how much I eat this, I’m never full."

Having taken the Dried Vegetable-flavored pot lid, Nian Shutong began to munch it with a crunching sound.

Fu Yunhe took a seat to the side, his lips curling with an endless smile.

"Why do I get the feeling you’re making fun of me?"

"Hmm?" Fu Yunhe, who’d just taken a bite, didn’t dare to open his mouth but shook his head.

"Absolutely not! Definitely not."

Even though he secretly thought about the snacks Nian Shutong had eaten that evening, which seemed like a lot, he certainly wasn’t mocking her.

"Making excuses."

Nian Shutong moved her own chair towards the side, shuffled a little, and continued to crunch away on the pot lid.

The nearby Fu Yunhe actually found Nian Shutong’s childishness, as well as her casual interaction with him, quite delightful.

At least he was certain he wasn’t an outsider.

After the group had their fill of the night eating pot lids, they dispersed.

Apart from Nian Shutong, the others all returned to their rooms, some to rest, but most were actually cultivating.

Ha Ha, even Rubble used the night to absorb energy from the Crystal Stone, Ji Sisi did the same, except she used her own stones.

On the other side, Lin Mu, enduring the pain all over her body, practiced her tiger fist continuously in her small courtyard.

After learning the tiger fist, she discovered it greatly helped improve her Physical Ability, so she spent most of the night practicing with very little rest.

As for Fu Yunhe, he didn’t rest either.

His body had recovered, and even after being modified by the top-grade crystal stone, along with his nutritional diet, his natural talent surpassed that of most people.

Resuming his Cultivation felt like second nature, progressing daily.

He was determined to reach S level before leaving Blue Star, as that was his minimum requirement.

He didn’t have time to proceed step by step; strong power was the only guarantee of his continuous promotion.

Everyone was working hard towards their goals, Nian Shutong was no exception.

Except her rank had just advanced, and she was currently just accumulating more and more.

As the night passed and the next day arrived, the people around the small wooden house had their meal.

After breakfast, Nian Shutong, leading a large team and piloting a Flying Device, began to relocate the factory area. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Each factory’s manager, inside workers, robots, and various machines, all dismantled and packed into Space Buttons, were transported to the new factory zone.

For now, the interstellar traffic setup was partially completed; people used Flying Devices to get to work, but once everything was in place, Nian Shutong planned to purchase one or two large public Flying Devices for everyone’s commute.

A few Flying Devices cut across the sky, swiftly reaching the new site.

The new factory zone’s building area could be described with one word—huge.

So far, there was not a single structure on it.

After everyone dismounted from their Flying Devices, Nian Shutong leapt onto the top of the Shadowless Flying Device so that everyone below could see her.

"I’ve marked every plot of land, following our previous arrangements. All factory managers, take your robots and your workers, to build your own factory."

"This time, the sugar factory will expand tenfold, instant noodle factory fivefold, salted vegetable venue threefold, and we’re building a new snack factory, chippie factory, spicy strip factory, beer factory, logistics factory, all on the right-hand side region."

"The traditional processing—vermicelli, soy sauce, vinegar factories—are on the left, everyone look for your position."

After roughly explaining the arrangements, Nian Shutong shouted to the people below, "Let’s get moving, everyone."

The people below were divided into teams, each heading to their respective areas.

Nian Shutong led Fu Yunhe, Rubble, and some newly arrived workers and robots to a new location to set up the newly constructed snack factory.

All the factory buildings were modular, with machinery designed by Rubble. Many were made in one piece.

Of course, snacks like spicy strips had recipes, which required some human control.

The entire factory area bustled with activity as everyone got to work.

Some large factories had all been moved over by Nian Shutong.

But the smaller workshops like the tofu shop were still kept near the small wooden house, handcrafted to ensure everyone always had that dish available.

There were many things Nian Shutong decided not to sell anymore, such as tofu, sugar-coated chestnuts, squid strips, and some minor processed seafood products.

She had already taught these to All Star and didn’t want to get involved in every single one; making a few main products was enough.

The construction of the factory definitely couldn’t be completed in one day, so at noon, everyone chose not to go back for lunch.

Today’s meal was a large pot prepared by Master Fan, packed into lunch boxes and delivered to everyone.

People casually sat down, each holding a lunchbox, and began to eat under the shade of the trees.

The entire factory district had undergone some simple design, separating handcrafted goods from machinery made. Between every factory, there was certainly a patch of trees left standing; it couldn’t just be a bare expanse.

After lunch, everyone continued to work until the sun set, leaving not a trace of light.

Nian Shutong called it a day, telling everyone to continue tomorrow.

When everyone returned to the residential area, they all went their separate ways to eat dinner. Nian Shutong and a few others enjoyed the meal prepared by Master Fan.

Since it was Tuesday, and there was no live streaming, every person who had toiled all day rested early.

Fu Yunhe walked a short distance with Nian Shutong. When they reached the entrance of the small wooden house, Nian Shutong stopped.

"Xiao He, congratulations," she said.

"Eh?"

Fu Yunhe didn’t understand. What was he being congratulated for?

With a smile full of mirth, Nian Shutong said, "Congratulations on completing a full day’s labor for the first time."

"Do you still remember the first time you insisted on going to harvest potatoes?"

"Ha Ha... How could I forget?"

Fu Yunhe felt he could never forget it.

"That wasn’t harvesting potatoes at all; I just followed around and almost exhausted myself to the point of not being able to walk back."

Nian Shutong also reflected and started talking amusingly, "It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago, but it’s been over half a year already."

"Time sure flies."

Looking at the somewhat sentimental Nian Shutong, Fu Yunhe pointed to himself and said, "I’ve experienced even more. You’ve just become stronger step by step, but I’ve been thoroughly transformed."

"Nian Shutong, thank you."

If he hadn’t met Nian Shutong, even if he had been reborn, he feared he wouldn’t have achieved much, not to mention his frail body that could fail him at any time.

Nian Shutong waved carelessly at Fu Yunhe and strode away.

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Fu Yunhe watched Nian Shutong’s retreating figure, which disappeared in the blink of an eye. He turned and entered the house, just stepping through the doorway.

"Why does it feel like she was escorting me home?"

Have their roles been reversed?
