Chapter 67

Nighttime.

Jiang Tiantian lay in bed.

She asked Xiao Qi to send her the footage from their trip to the secret base earlier that day.

After watching the material, she raised an eyebrow and smiled.

No wonder, in the afternoon, Cha Jiuzhang had a strange expression when he saw the direction Little Red Date was heading.

In the final edited video, she and Cha Jiuzhang barely appeared on screen; instead, Little Red Date became the main character.

It turned out that after leaving them, Little Red Date ran straight to a valley where a herd of wild horses resided.

Among them was her old flame.

A pure black, exceptionally tall, and fiercely untamed stallion.

But the moment he saw Little Red Date—

He instantly reared up on his hind legs, neighed loudly towards the sky, and then galloped toward her at full speed.

When the two horses met, they kept nuzzling each other, intertwining their necks, and circling around in affectionate play.

The proud and majestic black stallion, who usually carried himself like an untouchable prince, suddenly transformed into a gentle and devoted bodyguard, completely fixated on his beloved.

After a while, the two horses left the herd and ran off together, enjoying their private time.

As for some of the… intimate scenes that followed, Jiang Tiantian thoughtfully asked Xiao Qi to blur them out for the love-struck horses.

Watching their sweet interactions, Jiang Tiantian felt her heart melt.

A silly grin spread across her face.

This was exactly why she spent her childhood glued to the TV watching Animal World.

That raw, unfiltered, and vibrant expression of life—

It was so damn captivating!

Compared to those never-ending family drama series filled with love-hate cycles and misunderstandings, this straightforward display of emotions in the animal kingdom was much more entertaining.

Jiang Tiantian titled the video “Little Red Date’s Quest for Love” and had Xiao Qi upload it to the platform.

She predicted that once the video was posted, a new CP (couple pairing) would emerge on her account.

“Xiao Qi, I think the wild horse herd would make a great filming subject too. Can you send a drone to track and record them?”

Xiao Qi: “Yes.”

“And send another drone to follow Little Red Date. If we gather enough footage, Little Red Date’s Quest for Love might even turn into a full-fledged series.”

Jiang Tiantian had noticed that cute and interesting pets often attracted more fans than real people.

Xiao Qi: “Understood.”

After handling the video, Jiang Tiantian checked on Dazhu and Erzhu’s studies.

She couldn’t help but smile again.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

The two brothers looked alike but had completely opposite personalities and interests. Watching them side by side was quite amusing.

So, she decided to start a new series featuring them: “The Advancing Brothers”, documenting their growth and funny learning moments.

Especially Erzhu—whenever food was involved, his intelligence seemed to double. He was surprisingly good at drawing connections and thinking outside the box.

For the past two days, he had been in charge of cooking for the entire family.

As for the strange things that ended up on the dining table, the family had long since become desensitized to Erzhu’s culinary experiments.

At the very least, while the food’s appearance was questionable, the taste was still acceptable.

Lastly, there was Mop, the mischievous dog.

Every day, countless fans camped on the platform, eagerly waiting to catch the first glimpse of his cheeky, troublemaking antics.

Jiang Tiantian no longer dared to post just one video of Mop per day. She had to upload one at noon and another at night.

Sometimes, if there was too much interesting footage, she would even upload extra clips.

Even something as mundane as Mop gnawing on a bone or napping would send fans into a frenzy.

His numerous “girlfriends” and “rivals” in the village had all been given nicknames by the fans, and different groups—CP shippers, harem supporters, love-rivals-turned-lovers enthusiasts—engaged in heated debates in the comments.

The comment section was filled with all sorts of dog-themed fanfiction.

Jiang Tiantian accidentally caught a glimpse of one and immediately recoiled.

“My eyes! My poor eyes!”

This generation of netizens was too wild!

She couldn’t handle it!

—

Overall, her account had entered a phase of steady and healthy growth.

Xiao Qi reported that her platform presence was now fully established.

Currently, she had 4.56 million followers and 3.9 million gold coins.

Her first milestone—installing hot spring pipelines—was almost within reach.

Feeling satisfied, Jiang Tiantian started scheming again.

“Xiao Qi, now that my follower count has grown so much, isn’t there some kind of system reward?”

“There is. Once you reach 5 million followers, you’ll receive a reward.”

Jiang Tiantian: “?!”

“Wait a minute. Before, I got rewards for every 100,000 or 1 million followers. Now I’ve jumped from 2 million to over 4 million, and you’re telling me there’s nothing?”

“Well, in the early stages, the system offers frequent rewards to support newcomers. But later on, the requirements get higher, meaning the follower count must increase significantly before new rewards are given. So, keep working hard!”

“?!”

WTF?!

Jiang Tiantian wanted to curse.

This system was a total scam!

It operated just like her own tactics.

Dangling a carrot in front of employees, giving them a small bite now and then, making the carrot bigger each time, and watching them work even harder out of gratitude.

Just like capitalists—first raising a bunch of fat little piglets, then slowly harvesting them.

Sigh.

The situation was beyond her control. What else could she do?

Keep grinding, of course!

Grumbling internally, Jiang Tiantian received a sudden attempt at consolation from Xiao Qi.

“Don’t worry, future rewards from the system won’t disappoint you.”

Jiang Tiantian, ever the shrewd negotiator, immediately tried to bargain.

“Xiao Qi, look, I work tirelessly every day, constantly updating my content, and all the gold coins I earn go right back into the system. Tell me, where else can you find such a hardworking and generous host like me? Don’t you think the system should cut me some slack?”

Xiao Qi: “?”

Jiang Tiantian continued, “By the way, this morning, I saw the spraying drone carrying a huge container of plant gene modification serum.”

“When it finished spraying the seedlings, I noticed that barely any was used. Since this was a system reward, shouldn’t the leftover amount belong to me?”

Xiao Qi: “?!”

Technically speaking, the system did provide one full container.

And it hadn’t specified that any unused portion had to be taken back.

After thinking it over, Xiao Qi responded, “In theory, yes, it’s all yours.”

“Yay~”

Jiang Tiantian was instantly delighted.

She had been eyeing that big container—it felt like such a waste to leave it unused!

“Xiao Qi, does that mean I can use the remaining amount whenever I want?”

“In principle, yes.”

Jiang Tiantian clapped her hands in excitement.

Perfect!

Next, she would begin her large-scale planting experiments.

From now on, anything produced in Chajia Village would be of top quality!
