New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 305 Moving into the factory, starting a business.

Seeing his younger brother's nervous expression, as if he was about to send him away to avoid trouble, Yuan Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of person am I in your eyes right now?"

Yuan Su swallowed awkwardly, carefully saying, "Brother, the impression you left on me before has never been good. Now that you possess 'extraordinary power,' knowing your personality as I do, you'll naturally become even more reckless. If you're not careful, you'll definitely go down the path of crime. You're staying out day and night now, spending money extravagantly, and your personality has become even more flamboyant..."

As she spoke, Yuan Su mustered her courage and began to list her brother's faults. She knew he had been using that ill-gotten money to buy her food since they were little. While she felt somewhat touched, she felt mostly guilty and ashamed of her peers.

Even after graduating and getting a stable, higher-paying job in a factory, his older brother continued to take on side jobs and secretly collected dirt on the factory manager, supervisors, and foremen, investigating the factory's sales channels in preparation for climbing the corporate ladder.

If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly changed the course of his life a few months ago, becoming a [Holy Light] superhuman, Yuan Su could have guessed that her older brother's next plan was to secretly spread scandals and dirt about the workshop foreman, then find an opportunity to help him fall down the stairs at night, break his leg, and recover for three months, thus directly usurping the position of senior technician in the workshop.

Then he would repeat these methods, using his connections in the underworld to gradually swindle the workshop foreman and factory manager, accumulating enough capital to invest in the factory...

Sigh! In short, looking back on my eldest brother's life, it has all been about pushing the limits and skirting the edges of various violations within the scope of his abilities.

Although not committing a crime, they frequently violate regulations, operating in a gray area on the edge of the law.

Now that he has mastered the Holy Light, Brother Yuan Su seriously suspects that within three years, his elder brother will either be arrested by the Security Bureau, or the Holy Light will severely fade and turn into gray light or even black light!
...

After hearing his younger brother's accusations, Yuan Zhu was completely numb.

With a hurt expression, she said, "You really misunderstand me! You have such deep prejudices against me."

Yuan Su's eyes widened as she questioned, "I'm your brother, don't I know you?!"

Of course you don't understand me now!
Yuan Zhu sighed: "[Holy Light] is a 'power of justice' that guides people towards goodness and subtly corrects their spirit and thoughts. Look at the quality of my [Holy Light], and you should know that I am a righteous person! I am now selling luxury children's clothing for [Boss (Mao Mao Wang)] with integrity, working hard to earn money with a clear conscience, saving for your tuition and buying a house for our family. And you! How can you see me like this?"

Yuan Su watched as the 'pure white holy light' emanated from her elder brother's fingertips, though not intense, illuminated the entire room, bringing indescribable warmth and comfort, cleansing his body and spirit, and purifying and eliminating the barely perceptible 'polluting atmosphere' in the room.

Feeling warm and content, Yuan Su's heart wavered; this feeling was too good at being disguised!
He even began to reflect on himself, wondering if it was wrong of him to view his older brother with prejudice. So he added, "Um, if I may ask, how many sets of [luxury children's clothing] have you sold, brother? You've made so much money."

"this……!"

Yuan Zhu was speechless for a moment. Since joining [Happy Home], he had never sold a single unit. But, does the fact that he bought three units himself count?
So he quickly added, "I recently transferred from the sales department to the logistics and purchasing department. I successfully secured a raw material production site for the company and took charge of the production management in this area (Muye Village). The money I earned bought our family a house! I came back early today to tell you this good news. Tomorrow, once I get the keys, we can move in!"

"What? A new house? Moving! Tomorrow?"

The younger brother was stunned. His mind went blank for a moment before he came to his senses. This further solidified his belief that his older brother hadn't learned anything good outside. How could he possibly make so much money so quickly?!
He had heard his older brother talk about wanting to open a factory, become a boss, live in a mansion, and buy a sports car... but those were all goals he had to achieve in 10 or 20 years.

Ever since his older brother quit his job and found a new one, and even revealed that he had mastered the power of "Holy Light," he had always assumed that his brother would apply for a job at the church or become an intern in the "Holy Light Exorcism Department" at the hospital, finding a decent and stable job and slowly saving money.

So, you've already bought a house? And you're moving tomorrow?
Yuan Su questioned, "That's not right! How could you buy a house first? Didn't you say that once you saved enough money, you would first invest in a factory, become your own boss, and make money from money? Only after you'd saved enough would you buy a car, and only lastly a house. Your order is completely wrong!"

My older brother has changed! No, could he have been "mentally corrupted"? Did he rashly come into contact with supernatural powers, allowing them to seep into his mind, drastically changing his personality and making him addicted to pleasure?
Yuan Zhu clapped lightly: "As expected of my brother, you really understand me! How did you know that I built a factory?"

"?!!"

Yuan Su was constantly on edge. What on earth was her brother doing? It was so mysterious. He had only resigned from his job a short time ago, and he already had a factory?

"You...you bought the lighting factory where you used to work?" He knew his brother had a strong attachment to that factory. Had he investigated everything thoroughly? Was he finally making the move?
Candle: "No, I've partnered with some top students from [Rain Academy] to run a [Frog Farm], which provides experimental materials for the academy. I can take you there sometime. You must study hard so you can help your brother manage the company after you graduate."

Yuan Su pointed at herself: "Me, learning to raise frogs? Brother, didn't you say you'd support me through college?"

"There's a Frog School at Rain Academy; I can use my connections to get you in. There's also the Dangerous Botany School; I can talk to them too. If you want to go to Taixi International University, I have friends there who can put in a good word for you."

Yuan Zhu's words served as a strong attempt to prove that he hadn't gone astray, that he conversed with learned scholars and associated with no uncultured people. He even hired a young and beautiful female college student (Nie Yin) to work for him. "I'm so successful!" he declared.

Having temporarily calmed his skeptical brother, the two decided that since it was getting late, they didn't cook dinner but went out for a nice meal, spending less than 4 yuan in total.

After a satisfying meal, on their way home, Yuan Su was still in a daze, feeling as if she were living in a dream: "Brother, did you really buy a house? It's a detached house with a yard?"

In his hazy memory, he only lived in such a large house when his mother was still alive. But soon, he and his older brother were evicted and forced to live in a slum.

Yuan Zhu: "It's a pity I don't have the key, otherwise I could take you to move in right now. This house is nice, but the owner left in a hurry, so you'll need to change the bedding and clean. Also, the front and back yards have been neglected for a while and are overgrown with weeds, and the pond isn't filled with water. You'll have to figure out how to do these things yourself. I'll give you some money; you can hire a cleaning company or do it yourself."

Yuan Su asked in confusion, "What about you? Aren't you going to take care of it?" Yuan Zhu replied, "This house was bought for you to live in. I have a lot of work to do and may not have much time on weekdays. Just leave me a bedroom. Throw away any old or broken furniture and dishes. Pack up any valuable belongings tonight and get ready."

...

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Yuan Zhu hurriedly left home and drove to the [Frog Factory] in the suburbs.

Upon arriving at the construction site's parking area, he immediately spotted his own "100-ton King" truck. Then, he encountered his senior classmate, who had arrived early to oversee the progress of the "Underground Laboratory Project."

The senior student handed over a set of keys and said, "Keep this safe. This is the house you chose yesterday. It includes the keys to the gate, the house door, the bedroom, and the basement. Each key is clearly marked with tape indicating which lock it corresponds to."

"Thank you so much for the speed."

The senior student added, "I've reached an agreement with the client. The original homeowner has already taken away important items and some clothing. They've also entrusted the seller to sell the valuable furniture and decorations... Now, everything remaining in the house is at your disposal. You can dispose of or sell anything you don't like or want."

Yuan Zhu nodded: "Understood."

The senior student instructed, "You have one day to settle this property and then come here to start work. Now I'll show you around your [breeding farm]. Factory No. 1 was completed the day before yesterday, and Factory No. 2 will be completed today. You should get to work quickly, make a profit as soon as possible, and pay off the mortgage as soon as possible."

The senior student believed that only by taking on a mortgage and huge debts could Yuan Zhu unleash his motivation, work hard, compete fiercely, and create profits and miracles!
This guy has been a bit lazy lately.

The two walked and soon arrived at the completed [No. 1 Breeding Farm]. From the outside, it appeared to be only one story high, but the building was over five meters tall. Apart from a row of windows and ventilation openings on the roof, the entire building was a completely enclosed structure.

The senior student explained, "The 'experimental-grade frogs' required by the [Rain Academy] have strict quality control over pollution. They are not the kind of 'meat-grade frogs' that are raised by simply digging a pond, feeding them on time every day, and sprinkling disinfectant powder regularly for cleaning and sterilization. The academy has very high requirements for 'experimental frogs,' so they must be raised in a completely enclosed environment."

The two chatted as they entered [Frog Farm No. 1]. Inside the [Frog Farm], both the walls and the floor were constructed using [Construction Materials], the ventilation system was specially customized, and the lighting was excellent.

Ahead, there were rows of square pools, 40cm above the ground but nearly 1.5m deep, sunken into the ground. There were a total of 8 such pools in the entire No. 1 breeding farm, with each group spaced far apart, which seemed to be a serious waste of internal space.

Senior student: "These ponds are specifically for raising frogs. Each pond can only hold a maximum of 100 frogs. We need to monitor the frogs' health at all times, and we'll also need to add supporting equipment and prepare medications to maintain the quality of the 'pond water.' We need to clean the ponds regularly and disinfect them using 'Holy Ashes.' In addition, their feed must be mixed with 'Holy Ashes' and designated medications."

“Nie Yin is very familiar with these people, so you can leave it to her. You can now release several rounds of Holy Light indoors to clean and purify the environment. This is your forte, and it saves a lot of money since it's your specialty. Otherwise, hiring a Holy Monk would be another expense. And you would have to hire one every month.”

The senior student explained the precautions while leading Yuan Zhu on a tour. Before long, the two had finished touring the soon-to-be-completed No. 2 breeding farm, whose internal structure was no different from No. 1.

Continuing on, Yuan Zhu visited the newly completed [Small Greenhouse No. 1]. Her senior had already arranged for a professional team to gradually move in flowerpots and soil for planting [dangerous plants], adjusting the environment, temperature, and humidity in advance according to the plants' habits…

In a few days, this place will probably be planted with [Extraordinary Plants]. This means that Sister Kid will also be working here, helping her senior cultivate the 'polluted plants' of the [Feathered World].

After a final, hurried glance at the underground pit, which was still far from completion, he drove the 100-ton king back to Running.

...

It happened to be the weekend, and when Yuan Zhu returned home, her younger brother was obediently waiting at home, having already prepared the important luggage that needed to be taken with him.

Upon hearing the calls from downstairs, they hurriedly carried their packages downstairs, only to be awestruck by the enormous "Hundred-Ton King".

Carrying the package, Yuan Su searched the ground for a while before looking up and spotting her older brother in the driver's seat. She then asked timidly, "Brother? What's this...?"

"It's a moving truck, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and load the luggage up. Let's try to finish this in one trip, I have other things to do."

The two brothers spent an hour moving the house, and then another 20 minutes unloading it.

Then Yuan Zhu stepped on the gas and drove the truck toward the [Haunted House], intending to take his secretary Nie Yin to [Rain Courtyard] to buy goods (frog seedlings).

Behind him, only his younger brother remained, holding a bunch of keys, with pots, pans, and blankets piled up at his feet, standing in a daze in the front yard of their new home.

Such a big house, such a big yard, and now I'll be living there all by myself?
Alone and all alone, Yuan Su felt a mix of happiness and unease, but also a strange sense of panic and increased pressure. Being alone, she even felt a little afraid to live in such a large house, and muttered to herself, "I'm a little uneasy!"
