Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 195 Giving Sword
"Deputy director of a jade processing factory? I can't do this, right? I have never been in contact with jade before." The aunt was quite surprised. Although she was somewhat tempted, she was afraid of missing out on Li Xiang's important event.

On the other end of the phone, Li Xiang laughed and said, "That's why I let you be the deputy factory director, and didn't let you be the factory director directly. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can learn slowly. Besides, your main purpose is not to learn technology, but to come and help me keep an eye on things."

"Oh, I understand!"

After hearing this, Li Xiang's aunt suddenly understood.

Li Xiang's business is getting bigger and bigger now. Jadeite is a relatively expensive jade material, and the processing plant is far away in a border area. If there is no trustworthy person watching over it, it will definitely not work.

It’s not that the other employees are bad, but I’ve never met them before, they are all new and I don’t understand them.

Li Caihong said happily: "Okay then, I will have a second spring, and thank you nephew for providing the stage."

Afterwards, Li Xiang introduced the general situation of the jade processing factory to his aunt. His aunt had been working in real estate sales before and was very good at dealing with people. She was actually quite smart and capable. Li Xiang believed that his aunt could manage it well.

Li Xiang offered his sister-in-law a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, including five insurances and one fund, as well as a bonus at the end of the year.

In fact, the five social insurances and one housing fund, especially the pension, will be useless in the future. The end of the world has come, and there is still the five social insurances and one housing fund. However, this is a welfare that companies must have now, otherwise they will be black-hearted bosses and people will easily lose their jobs.

He doesn't lack this little money, so he can just pay it. It can avoid a lot of trouble, including some regulatory ones.

"Aunt, if my cousin is willing, you can bring him along this time. I think he can learn jade carving here. It would be better if he has a skill. The salary is 6,000 yuan. When he becomes skilled and has more experience, you can raise his salary."

"He is willing! If he is not willing, I will pull him over by grabbing his ears!" The aunt said with a smile, her eyes slightly moist.

So, the next day, Li Xiang's aunt took her son on a journey to Ruili.

Along the way, the mother and son were in a very good mood and enjoyed the scenery along the way. Li Caihong felt that she had not been so happy for a long time.

After arriving there, Li Xiang rented a house nearby for them and invited all the employees of the processing plant to have a meal together as a team-building activity.

There were thirty-eight people in total, and they booked five tables in a restaurant. The food was sumptuous and there was plenty of wine.

At the table, Li Caihong quickly became friends with everyone. First, she had strong communication skills and could drink a lot. Second, everyone knew that she was the boss's sister-in-law, so they were all very polite to her. Many people would greet her intentionally or unintentionally, so she naturally integrated into the team smoothly.

From now on, this jade processing factory will be the main source of supply for Li Xiang. Even the jade jewelry store that cooperates with Xu Xuan will get its goods from here in the future.

Li Xiang went to Myanmar personally and bought a lot of low-quality raw stones at very low prices. He then commissioned an international logistics company to divide the raw stones into three batches and deliver them to the large warehouse that had been rented before.

Then, after everyone left, Li Xiang returned, opened the warehouse door with the key, closed the door, and used the White Tiger sword to cut the raw stones inside one by one. As expected, 99% of them were garbage, and only 1% of the materials were slightly worth looking at.

He swapped out all the waste materials, not only that, he also added more than 30 tons, then closed the door and left.

After arriving at the processing plant, Li Xiang gave his aunt two keys to the warehouse, and the rest of the keys were with him.

As for the company's accounts and warehouse accounts, isn't there a "do" in accounting? Before the jade is cut, no one knows what kind of jade is inside, which leaves enough room for manipulation.

When this batch of jade is processed, Li Xiang will repeat the process again to replenish the warehouse with raw materials. He has accumulated more than 300,000 tons of jade, and it is estimated that it will take several years to "digest" it all.

Li Xiang picked out some of the better ones from the batch of waste materials that were swapped, cut them into small stone benches, and placed them in the yard. As for the rest of the unusable ones, he found an uninhabited valley and dumped them all into it.

These waste materials are not suitable for making jewelry, but they are actually very good for making stone tables and stone benches, much better than ordinary stones. However, it would be difficult to explain if he took them all back, so he was too lazy to take them. His system has limited space, and he doesn't like to store these "garbage".

……

Although Luo Feifei is busy with work, she actually communicates with Li Xiang frequently, such as interacting online, sending private messages, and making phone calls.

She knew that Li Xiang was busy with the jade jewelry business and was very interested in it. She said that if Li Xiang needed it, she could be a guest in Li Xiang's live broadcast room and act as a model. After all, she had seen a lot and knew the advantages and disadvantages of various jewelry.

Li Xiang naturally expressed his gratitude. With Luo Feifei's help, the jade jewelry business would be sure to succeed.

"I have a little thing for you. Where are you?" Li Xiang asked.

"I'm participating in a variety show in Xingcheng. It's a recorded show." Luo Feifei happily told Li Xiang her hotel room number and whispered, "I'll leave the window open for you at night."

Late that night, Li Xiang sneaked into Luo Feifei's room as promised.

Xingcheng is only about 700 to 800 kilometers away from his home. For Li Xiang, it is just like a night run for an ordinary person, except that the distance Li Xiang runs at night is a bit far. Naturally, his cell phone is turned off.

Luo Feifei was wearing a JK uniform, and I was shocked. She controlled Li Xiang for several seconds on the spot.

He had never seen Luo Feifei wearing this kind of clothes before. If the photos were to be spread out, it would become a hot topic.

"Does it look good? Are you attracted by it?" Luo Feifei turned around and thought to herself that it was not a wasted effort since it was specially prepared for you.

"Beautiful!" Li Xiang gave a thumbs up, then took out a rapier with a cold glow and exquisite patterns, held it upside down, and handed the hilt to Luo Feifei.

"What a beautiful spiritual sword!" Luo Feifei was naturally an expert on value. This extraordinary rapier was of high grade and quite valuable.

"It feels especially suitable for you." Li Xiang said.

"Does this sword have a name?" Luo Feifei took it, stroked it carefully, and liked it very much.

Li Xiang said: "Of course there is, it's called the White Tiger Sword."

Luo Feifei couldn't help but blush.

White Tiger? How did he know I was a White Tiger? He didn't have the ability to "see". Did he particularly like White Tigers?

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Li Xiang asked when he saw Luo Feifei looked strange.

"No, I like it very much." Luo Feifei was secretly delighted and rolled her eyes at him. She immediately put down her sword and pulled Li Xiang to sit on the sofa. "I have a lot to say... a lot of questions about cultivation that I want to ask you." Li Xiang said happily: "You talk, I listen, and we will discuss together."

He was also very interested in communicating and discussing with Luo Feifei. Because Luo Feifei was gifted, Li Xiang felt that he gained a lot every time he communicated with her.

This is a treasure fairy who can give him a lot of inspiration.

Immediately, the two communicated a lot.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Feifei has comprehended a method to suppress realm breakthroughs, which is also very useful to Li Xiang. Speaking of this, it is because of the last time, Luo Feifei's spiritual power entered Li Xiang's body and checked his spiritual power vortex, and got this idea.

At that time, Li Xiang's spiritual power, which was as strong as a great river, gave Luo Feifei a great shock. She felt that she should really suppress it more and not break through so quickly. She should lay a solid foundation as much as possible like Li Xiang. If she could do that, her combat power would surely far exceed that of her previous life.

As her cultivation level increased, she had more and more strange dreams. Luo Feifei was almost certain that they were her past lives. However, in her memories of these "past lives", she had never heard of Li Xiang.

Therefore, Luo Feifei became more and more curious about Li Xiang. Sometimes she wondered if he had risen to fame after her death. Shouldn't he be unknown?
She actually figured out an effective method. She shared it with Li Xiang without reservation and also told him many of her experiences and insights during the process of exploration.

Li Xiang tried practicing it and it really worked. He felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"By the way, the White Tiger Sword is a fourteenth-level extraordinary item. It can be stored in the body and nurtured in the vortex of spiritual energy." Li Xiang said.

"Nourishment" can strengthen the connection between man and sword, and when using it, they can achieve the unity of man and sword, and the power will be increased.

"Well, let me try." Luo Feifei stretched out her hand and took the White Tiger Sword on the coffee table into her hand. Soon, the spiritual sword sank into her body.

"It's getting late. I have to leave." Li Xiang took out a handful of elixirs and stuffed them into Luo Feifei's hands. Then he disappeared in a flash, leaving only the curtains swaying.

"Climbing in through the window in the middle of the night, that's all..." Luo Feifei curled her lips and then laughed.

After Li Xiang left Luo Feifei's room, he saw that it was still dark, so he took advantage of the night to run to northern Vietnam and entered the primeval forest to sweep the mountains.

He left in a hurry last time and only visited Myanmar and part of Thailand. There are still many places in Southeast Asia that he has not visited.

Although the system warehouse can’t hold much now, a certain amount of spare space was reserved before, and nearly 100 tons of jadeite raw stones were unloaded a few days ago, so we can load some more things.

Vietnam's land area is approximately 33 square kilometers, of which flat land accounts for no more than 20%, mountains account for 40%, hills account for 40%, and forests account for 75%.

There are many virgin forests with countless trees and wild animals.

Li Xiang's speed has increased now, and he can easily reach these neighboring countries. It is natural that he would choose foreign countries as his first choice for mountain clearing. Especially in such small countries, he can do whatever he wants and hunt rare animals and cut down precious trees in broad daylight.

The most precious wood in Vietnam should be Vietnamese Huanghuali and purple heartwood. Especially Vietnamese Huanghuali, its price even surpasses red sandalwood and becomes the second most expensive wood in the world.

Li Xiang is now sweeping the mountains on the border between Vietnam and Laos. Not long after, he discovered several huanghuali trees.

"What a pity, there is not enough space in the warehouse, so I can only pick a few big trees to chop down first." He sighed lightly, took out a Gaomi axe, integrated breathing techniques and swordsmanship, and began to practice.

That's right, the process of felling wood can also be considered farm work, which is very helpful for cultivation. In particular, being able to harvest such precious wood makes one happy physically and mentally, and the effect of cultivation is even better.

Vietnamese Huanghuali is second only to Hainan Huanghuali. It is said that some old materials on the market are priced at tens of millions of yuan per ton.

He cut down five rosewood trees, removed the twigs and leaves, and only stored the main trunks in the warehouse.

Then, we continued on our way. Along the way, we saw many wild animals, and there were probably only one in a hundred with extraordinary potential.

System: "A fourth-order mutant, the Black-browed Elaphe, has been detected."

Oh my god, an extremely long snake, about 2 meters long, appeared in Li Xiang’s sight.

Its head and back are yellow-green, with an obvious black line behind its eyes, like an eyebrow. There are also black butterfly-shaped markings on the front and middle part of its back, like the scales of a balance beam. Therefore, this snake is also called the "Scales Snake".

Li Xiang took out the black iron mountain-pulling stick. Although this thirteenth-level extraordinary spiritual stick weighed eight or nine hundred kilograms, Li Xiang had comprehended the soft power and could use any amount of force. He just stretched out the giant stick and lightly lifted up the black-browed snake.

The black-browed rat snake twisted its body and stretched its head out to bite Li Xiang, but unfortunately, the spiritual power on Li Xiang's giant stick was very magical. His giant stick only vibrated slightly with an extremely small amplitude that was invisible to the naked eye, and it easily resolved the attack of the big snake. No matter how hard it tried, its head could not leave three inches away from the giant stick.

In the end, the black-browed rat snake was naturally played to death.

System: "Congratulations to the host for killing the fourth-level mutant black-browed elaphe. You will be rewarded with 80 achievement points and three third-level star sand spirit snake gallbladders."

Li Xiang took a look at the system reward. The three snake gallbladders were very large, round, dark gold in color, with silver markings on the surface, dotted like Libra, and somewhat similar to the appearance of this snake.

Snake gall is naturally a good ingredient for making wine.

Li Xiang now has many kinds of spiritual medicines, so he exchanged several spiritual wine recipes based on the existing types of spiritual medicines, and the spiritual wine brewed from them has extraordinary effects.

However, the spiritual wines he brewed later contained more medicinal materials and were of higher grade, so the medicinal power of the spiritual wines was also stronger. Jiang Caier's cultivation was still low, so she might not be able to drink it, but Luo Feifei was about to break through to the fourth level. When she reached the fourth level, she should be able to drink a small amount of his spiritual wine.

In addition to the black-browed rat snake, Li Xiang killed many other snakes, such as the Hundred Flower Rat Snake, the Blunt-tailed Two-headed Snake, the White Ring Snake, the Bungarus Bungarus, the Cobra, the Beautiful-lined Cobra, etc.

It is worth mentioning that the blunt-tailed two-headed snake has a thick and blunt tail with yellow markings. The shape, thickness, and pattern of its tail are similar to its head. It looks like it has heads at both ends, which is quite rare.

"Cats and dogs can enjoy something new again!" Especially the kittens, they get particularly excited when there are spicy strips in the porridge.

Li Xiang also found several muntjacs, with reddish-brown skin and weighing about 30 to 50 kilograms. They looked delicious, so he easily captured them and put them in the warehouse.

This is Vietnam's famous giant muntjac. It is rare and precious and is also the largest muntjac species in the world.

In a foreign country, surrounded by vast jungles and clouds, Li Xiang was busy for a day and a night and gained a lot.
