Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Chapter 1581: Litter Helpers

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

During the second half of October, Li Du stayed in the manor and did not go anywhere else.

Sophie was busy taking the animals around to take photographs and videos as advertisements. She was quite swamped and so was Li Du. They did not have time to hang around doing nothing.

He had revamped the small hut at the farm and placed a milling machine inside. He was learning how to mill and cut the jade ore.

This time around, he had brought home close to two hundred stones of various sizes. Every stone had jade in it and they were all top-quality stones.

Once he was almost done with all the cutting, he decided to invite Cole Winston over. The best place to sell the jade would be Harry Winston Inc. However, he would not turn in the super high-quality goods just like that.

Li Du stretched and walked out of the small hut. He saw a bunch of children rolling around on the grass at some distance away.

Thinking that he might have seen wrong, he rubbed his eyes and took another look. He was right. There were four or five children playing.

Seeing Brother Wolf, Li Du asked in surprise, “What happened? Has the manor turned into an amusement park? Why are there so many children?”

Victoria was busy snatching a rugby ball from a boy. After seeing Li Du, she stood up and waved happily.

Young Rosalind, who used to be shy, has become a lively girl. After entering primary school and hanging out with Brother Wolf’s daughter, Ivana, she now had a decent school life.

Li Du smiled and waved back. Brother Wolf said, “That is Victoria’s and Ivana’s friend from school. They are in the same grade and two of their classmates are here. Have you forgotten? Two days ago, the lady boss had told you that she invited them over for Thanksgiving...”

He had really forgotten about that. Recently, he had been occupied with the jade. As its value was high, he had to be careful. Hence, he had been entirely focused on this new venture.

Li Du scratched his head and said, “Oh yeah, that’s right. Did I agree to something with Victoria?”

Victoria’s guardian in name was Godzilla. However, Godzilla was currently in Wooku Town, helping Li Du to look for jade. Hence, Li Du had become the young lady’s temporary guardian.

Brother Wolf said, “You agreed to many things, but right now, I think the most urgent thing would be to make a pumpkin for her. You agreed to make her a unique Halloween pumpkin light.”

Li Du was stunned. “D*mn, did I really promise that?”

Brother Wolf nodded confidently. “That’s right, boss.”

“A unique one?” Li Du asked.

Brother Wolf said, “Your reaction now is the same as when you spoke to Victoria at that time. Do you remember that day?”

Li Du replied, “Yes, I do.”

Brother Wolf took a deep breath and his dull expression suddenly changed to become chirpy and excited. He smiled brightly and patted Li Du’s shoulder. He said, “Are you doubting me, young lady? Do you dare to doubt your invincible Uncle Li? Oh, I will surprise you. I will give you an especially huge surprise!”

Li Du stared at him in shock. “Did I act that way back then? Why don’t I have any recollection of that?”

Brother Wolf returned to his usual self and threw out his hands. “I have no idea. However, at that time, you really reacted that way. You looked as though you managed to cut some good jade.”

On the matter of cutting jade, Li Du did not hide it from Brother Wolf. At the same time, Brother Wolf had minimal knowledge about that. He did not know how much high-quality jade Li Du had with him.

Li Du recalled now. It must have been a week ago that he had that conversation with Victoria. At that time, he had just started with the jade cutting. He was in a state of elation.

He said unhappily, “Why didn’t you stop me when I came up with that stupid idea then? I will definitely make a fool out of myself. But why do I feel like you’re rather looking forward to the time when I do that?”

Brother Wolf said, “Your intuition is right, boss. That is because, after you made that promise, Ivana, too, wanted a surprise. She wanted an especially impressive one!”

Having said that, he revealed a depressed expression. “Isn’t it any father’s role to carve a pumpkin for his daughter for Halloween? What kind of especially huge surprise is there?”

Li Du looked blankly at the children. The bunch of them were having a great time. A rugby ball had been thrown to the ground and the children were running after it, vying for it.

There were two teams competing to get the ball, one an all-girls team and the other an all-boys one. Victoria led the girls’ team, while the boys’ team had a plump boy with pimples on his face for a leader.

Although the boy was plump, his two fat little legs could run extremely fast. It was as though he was on wheels. The boy panted as he ran on the grassy slope. Li Du could not help but think of the tumbleweed he saw in Siberia the year before.

Victoria had the advantage of speed and agility. However, the little boy was exploding with energy. Besides, he had obviously received rugby training before and knew some techniques. Hence, Victoria was faced with a strong opponent who was better than she was in all aspects.

As the girls never managed to win the ball, they felt very depressed. On the other hand, the boys were evidently proud.

Victoria said unhappily, “Hey, Westin, don’t be arrogant. You’re just bullying us girls. That’s nothing to be proud of.”

The plump boy giggled. “Little cutie pie, I’ve said before that the girls and boys should be mixed so that your team would have a chance.”

Victoria replied, “We girls can do it, but we need some help. Do you dare to allow us to bring over some helpers?”

The plump boy was very confident. He waved his hands and said, “No problem, little cutie pie, bring it on.”

A boy standing by the side spotted Li Du and Brother Wolf. He quickly quipped, “But if you choose your uncles, we will admit defeat. We are less than ten years old, how would we be able to compete with them?”

Now that the little boy reminded him of this possibility, the plump boy realized that Victoria could have meant that. He said in shock, “Victoria, you won’t do that, right? That won’t be fair!”

Victoria shook her head and said, “No, no, no, we will not cheat. We will find helpers who are younger than us.”

“Younger? Are you sure about that?” The plump boy asked with suspicion.

“I swear, if I flout the rule, I will be your girlfriend. If we still lose after getting new members onto our team, I will go out with you,” Victoria said.

“Sure! Actually, if you agree to be my girlfriend, I can join your team and give you all the balls,” the plump boy spoke excitedly.

The boy by the side felt that something was not right and said, “Westin, Victoria is very clever.”

The plump boy glared at him and said, “If you continue to insult my girlfriend, be careful, or I will give you a taste of my iron fist!”

Then he turned around and smiled at Victoria. “Hurry, get your little friends over. I can’t wait to go on a date with you.”

Victoria revealed a bright smile. She ran into the house and shouted. Then Ah Ow, Ah Meow, Ah Bai and the rest ran out behind her.

“Hey, the filming for this advertisement is not completed yet,” Sophie gave chase behind them.

The animals started to run even faster.

The plump boy was shocked and said, “These are your helpers?”

Victoria said, “Yup, this is Ah Meow. Ah Meow is four now, younger than us, right? This is Ah Ow, Ah Ow is even younger, only three years old. Come over, let me introduce Ah Bai to you guys, Ah Bai is only two years old...”

The boy who had said Victoria was clever looked upset. “Westin, look, we have been trapped!”
