As expected, not long after Zhao Hai sat down, Grimm walked in and bowed to Zhao Hai. “Young Master, I’ve already arranged everything here. I’ll set off soon.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “There’s no need to be in such a hurry. Don’t worry, those things won’t disappear. It won’t be a problem even if they are stored for ten years. Make sure to find some big businessmen and sign a long-term cooperation agreement with them. Also, remember, we have to raise a large number of blue-eyed rabbits in the future. We have to cooperate with them on this. If I’m not wrong, after we sell off all the magic radishes, their price might drop. We have to be mentally prepared for this.”
Grimm nodded. Zhao Hai pointed to the seat beside him and said, “Grandpa Grimm, you should sit down. I don’t feel comfortable talking with you standing like this. I still have a lot to say to you. Wood, bring Grandpa Grimm breakfast.”
Wood looked at Grimm and saw him nod. Wood walked to the kitchen. Grimm sat down. Zhao Hai did not say anything about this. He knew very well what Adam had been like in the past. If it had not been for Grimm, Adam would have died countless times. He was naturally not jealous of Grimm’s authority.
After Grimm sat down, Zhao Hai continued, “Grandpa Grimm, you know our current situation, so I hope you remember to keep a low profile. If we do anything that those nobles can’t take, we will be finished. Therefore, this cooperation must not be known to anyone.”
Grimm nodded. Zhao Hai sighed and said, “Although I don’t know why those nobles let us off and only sent us to such a place, I think we must have something that they have scruples about. If they want to deal with us, they will have to pay a huge price. But if they know that our Buda family still has the hope of rising in this forsaken place, they will kill us regardless of the price. Therefore, we have to keep a low profile now till we have developed well.”
Grimm’s eyes turned red. He stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai. “Young Master, don’t worry. I will definitely settle this matter properly.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Grandpa Grimm, don’t be like this. Sit down. Remember, the magic radish is only the first step. After a while, I will try to see if I can turn the black soil outside into normal soil that can be cultivated. That will make our situation even better. However, we will need more manpower, so you have to buy more slaves through various channels. No matter what race they are, as long as they are useful or are proficient in some area, you can buy them. Anyway, ordinary people will not come here to check, but we still have to be careful.”
Grimm nodded. He realized that his Young Master had really changed. In the past, his Young Master would not have thought of this. This change was definitely a good thing for the Buda family.
At this moment, Wood also served Grimm’s breakfast. Zhao Hai glanced at Grimm’s breakfast. It was very simple, which made Zhao Hai shake his head. He turned to Grimm and said, “Grandpa Grimm, after you sell the magic radishes, you have to buy blue-eyed rabbits, long-tailed chickens, and scaleless fish. Now, the moat outside the castle has no life forms. I took a look. That river seems to be freshwater that can be used to raise fish. Let’s not care about how much money we can earn first. We have to make our own life comfortable. When you go, don’t be afraid of them asking for a lot of magic radishes. We can provide as much as they want. However, I think the market for the magic radish will definitely be overturned by us. When that happens, they will definitely investigate. Therefore, be careful in the transactions and don’t let them know about us. Also, buy some books, especially the ones related to plants and animals in the continent. This will be very useful to us. Anyway, this is all I can think of now. You can deal with the rest yourself. By the way, our defense force is lacking. You should see if you can buy some slaves proficient in fighting. But let’s take it step by step, first is to improve our lives.”
While eating, Grimm listened to Zhao Hai’s words. He remembered everything that Zhao Hai had said. There were priorities to these things, but he had to accomplish all of them.
After a while, Grimm finished eating and asked Wood to take away the dishes. He stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai. “Young Master, I’ll be going. If you need anything in the few days that I am gone, you have to tell Merlyn. Young Master, you have to take good care of yourself. You’re the last hope of the Buda family. If anything happens to you, how can I face my deceased master?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Grandpa Grimm, don’t worry. I know what to do. I won’t cause trouble like before. Go and return early. As long as you complete the task, it will be fine. By the way, the transportation of the magic radishes is a big problem. I think after you settle the matter, I will personally send the things over. This way, it won’t attract attention. What do you think?”
Grimm thought for a moment and said, “Let’s talk about this after I settle the matter. Don’t worry, Young Master. I will arrange everything properly.”
Zhao Hai nodded and looked at Grimm. He suddenly bowed to Grimm and said, “Grandpa Grimm, I thank you on behalf of the Buda family. From today onwards, you are my family.”
Grimm’s eyes turned red, but he accepted Zhao Hai’s bow and looked up at the sky. “Master, Old Master, do you see this? Young Master has grown. There is hope for the Buda family. Even if I have to risk my old bones, I will make the Buda family prosper again.” With that, he bowed to Zhao Hai and turned to leave. However, at this moment, Grimm did not look like a servant at all. His heroic spirit was soaring, and the might of a level-eight martial artist was displayed.
Zhao Hai looked at Grimm’s back and smiled. He turned around and walked into his room. Zhao Hai knew that it would take some time for others to adapt to his changes. His performance was very eye-catching, so he had to act a little modestly. Anyway, Grimm had already arranged the matters at home. Merlyn and Meg were watching over the rest. He did not have to worry. He should take a look at the farm. That was his foundation.
However, the two stubborn fellows, Wood and Rock, followed behind him like two ghosts. No matter where he went, they would follow. They carried out Grimm’s words thoroughly, making Zhao Hai feel very helpless.
Zhao Hai did not want Grimm and the others to know too much about the Space Farm, but with Wood and Rock around, it was impossible to hide the matter from them.
After entering his room, Zhao Hai turned to Wood and Rock and said, “Wood, Rock, go back to your rooms. I want to rest for a while. There’s nothing to worry about in the castle.”
The two of them shook their heads at the same time and did not speak. Zhao Hai said impatiently, “I’m going to rest. Can you go help Grandma Merlyn?”
They still shook their heads!
“I’m going to sleep. You can’t stand by the bed, right? Go stand outside the door!”
They still shook their heads!
“I’m the young master. The two of you, get out!”
They still shook their heads!
“Brothers, I’m begging you. Give me some free space. Just do me a favor and leave.”
…
Seeing that he really could not do anything to the two of them, Zhao Hai could only say, “Wood, Rock, I know that the two of you were adopted by my father since you were young and are absolutely loyal to the Buda family, but I really have to go somewhere now. That place concerns the future development of our Buda family, so it’s best if you don’t follow me. You can’t follow me even if you want to, so if I suddenly disappear later, don’t be anxious and don’t shout, okay?”
As soon as Zhao Hai finished speaking, the two brothers reached out and took out the two-handed swords on their backs and placed them on their necks, looking like they would suicide immediately if they were not allowed to follow.
Zhao Hai slapped his head. Meeting such stubborn people gave him a headache, but he had no choice. He knew from the looks of Wood and Rock that if he really did not let them follow him, they might really commit suicide. They were among the few people who were definitely loyal to the Buda family. He could not let them die.
However, if he brought them into the Space Farm, they would know its secret. Zhao Hai was really unwilling.
However, Zhao Hai had yet to completely understand the situation in the Space Farm. He had already planted the radishes before dawn. Now that it was already bright, he did not know how much they had grown. He had to go and take a look. When the radishes matured, he had to collect them. That was money.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai wanted to see how to get the water and soil out of the Space Farm. Space soil and space water could transform the land, the black soil outside might become fertile land. This was what Zhao Hai needed the most now.
Zhao Hai was thinking about the pros and cons of not entering the Space Farm, but Wood and Rock did not remove the swords. They stared at Zhao Hai, afraid that he would disappear.
After a while, Zhao Hai came to his senses. He looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly. “Alright, it’s fine if you want to follow, but you can’t tell anyone about what you saw today. If you do, you can only tell Grandpa Grimm, Grandma Merlyn, and Meg. Other than these three people, you can’t tell anyone else. Even if you are talking in your sleep, you can’t tell anyone.”
The two of them nodded at the same time, but they still did not put down their swords.
