Chapter 111: Do You Believe I'm a Black Bear Spirit?

Chapter 111: Do You Believe I'm a Black Bear Spirit?

"Bingbing, what's wrong?" Lin Lele looked at her friend, who was still wearing an astonished expression, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Lele, look behind you!" Yuan Bingbing quickly reminded her friend.

Lin Lele realized something must have happened behind her and instinctively turned around, her mouth opening in surprise.

She saw a black bear wearing a golden robe, gliding on roller skates, and leading a white horse.

The person on the scooter was completely ignored.

This scene finally made her exclaim, "Bingbing, it's really a black bear spirit stealing Tang Monk's golden robe and White Dragon Horse!"

Indeed.

The black bear's golden robe was too eye-catching, shimmering with a golden glow—none other than Tang Monk's brocade robe.

And that snow-white horse—could there be a more magnificent White Dragon Horse?

Yuan Bingbing added, "It might even have Nezha's Wind Fire Wheels!"

Lin Lele instinctively looked at the black bear's roller skates!

What a friend she had!

The two girls immediately took out their phones to capture the moment.

How could they miss this?

Not just them, but the tourists around them also noticed.

After all, the combination of a black bear and a white horse was too eye-catching.

As for the person on the scooter, everyone ignored them.

Videos were meant to attract attention, and the black bear spirit and the white horse were enough. Adding someone on a scooter would just ruin the scene!

Ignore him.

Zhang Lin brought Xiao Hei and White Dragon to the office center, parked the scooter, and led them inside.

However, once inside, White Dragon could only be left in the courtyard, as the office area wasn't suitable for him to enter.

Although they were only visible for a short time, the tourists immediately uploaded the videos they had taken to the internet.

At this moment, they definitely wanted to grab some attention.

Moreover, intelligent, good-looking animals with special abilities already had a large following online. With the popularity of Liyuan Farm, the black bear and the white horse quickly became a hot topic: Black Bear Spirit and White Dragon Horse!

At the same time, the sign for Kailin Investment Farm had already been taken down, and a new sign was put up: Liyuan Farm North Camping Ground.

Lin Muxue stepped back after the workers had installed the new sign and checked it. Once she confirmed there were no issues, she nodded.

This was the new name for the acquired Kailin Investment Farm.

Since it was located north of the other campsite, it was called the North Camping Ground, while the original campsite of Liyuan Farm was called the South Camping Ground.

From now on, the South Camping Ground would be a high-end campsite, with a pure accommodation fee and basic services costing 200 yuan per night, while the North Camping Ground would be a regular campsite at 100 yuan per night.

Naturally, a campsite couldn't rely solely on accommodation fees to make a profit. The South Camping Ground offered self-service barbecues, beverage and snack sales, and even a large swimming pool with goggles, swimsuits, and pool rentals.

However, because the South Camping Ground had these services, the North Camping Ground needed to come up with something different.

Lin Muxue had been promoted and was now in charge of the project. These were all things she needed to consider, and her visit today was not just to change the sign.

Behind her were several people, all part of the North Camping Ground's management team. The woman leading them was the manager of the North Camping Ground, originally hired by Kailin Investment Farm from the provincial capital. Her name was Guo Hong.

Lin Muxue had just been promoted, and she needed to get things done.

As Zhang General had said, they needed to promote the campsite managers, and this applied to the North Camping Ground as well.

However, after meeting Guo Hong, she decided not to replace her.

Because Guo Hong was truly capable. More importantly, Kailin Investment Farm had cooled off right after opening, and Guo Hong had no emotional attachment to it. She could be useful.

She was definitely stronger than the girls in her own team. Even if they recruited new employees, they might not find someone as capable as Guo Hong.

Not just Guo Hong, but the other two supervisors also had strong management skills, all recruited from big cities. This showed that Kailin Investment had genuinely wanted to run the farm well, but they had simply faced too strong an opponent and cooled off right after opening.

This saved her some trouble.

After listening to Guo Hong's overview of the North Camping Ground, Lin Muxue smiled and said, "Manager Guo, follow your plan for the North Camping Ground. Just write me a proposal, and the farm is also working on a plan. Once everything is ready, we'll open ticket sales for the North Camping Ground. At that time, we'll integrate the flower fields into a single package ticket."

"Sure, Ms. Lin!" Guo Hong nodded immediately.

She was now full of enthusiasm. After all, compared to Kailin Investment Farm, Liyuan Farm was more exciting for her. So, now that they were willing to keep her, she naturally wanted to work hard.

"Alright, go ahead and get to work!" Lin Muxue concluded her inspection of the site.

"Sure thing, Ms. Lin." Guo Hong led the people from the Beilu Campsite to start their tasks.

At that moment, Lin Muxue's WeChat buzzed. Seeing who had sent the message, she felt a bit exasperated—it was her younger sister.

Sister: "Big Sister, Lin Feng says I'm a good person, but he's not good enough for me and wants to break up. What should I do? I don't want to break up!"

Lin Muxue, seeing her emotionally distressed sister who was being manipulated by a man, felt a bit helpless. She sent her a message:

X + (-X) = 0.

X - (-X) = 2X.

Sister: "Big Sister, what does this mean?"

Lin Muxue: "Figure it out yourself!"

Just as she was about to put away her phone, Liu Qian rushed over. "Ms. Lin, our farm is trending again, and it's generating a lot of buzz!"

"Which video? We only posted two today," Lin Muxue asked with a smile.

Liyuan Farm now had a steady following online. With this dedicated fan base, even a casual video, as long as it was of decent quality, could easily go viral. The chances of hitting the trending charts were much higher than for others.

However, today's two videos were just meant to maintain the farm's presence and keep the audience engaged. She didn't expect them to go viral.

Liu Qian quickly explained, "It's not our videos, it's a video posted by a visitor!"

Lin Muxue's brow furrowed. "Did President Zhang come up with something new without notifying our operations team?"

She immediately thought of this possibility.

After all, it wasn't easy to go viral, especially not to generate a trending topic. The visitor wasn't a major influencer and didn't have a significant following. If they were just piggybacking on Liyuan Farm's popularity, it would be hard for their video to go viral and generate a trending topic.

That left only one possibility: something new and highly engaging had appeared at Liyuan Farm, something that hadn't been widely captured yet.

"Ms. Lin, just watch the video. We all found it unbelievable," Liu Qian said, handing over her phone.

Lin Muxue watched the video and was initially stunned.

The title was eye-catching:

Black Bear Spirit, White Dragon Horse, What the Heck?

Was Journey to the West somehow connected to the farm?

When she opened the video, she was even more surprised. A bear wearing a monk's robe was seen leading a white horse, gliding on roller skates into the office center. The video featured a girl's soft, surprised voice: "The Black Bear Spirit stole Tang Monk's robe and White Dragon Horse, and even Nezha's Wind Fire Wheels!"

Lin Muxue hadn't made the connection at first, but hearing this, she realized the scene was indeed rich and amusing.

It was a perfect fit, even though the roller skates and Wind Fire Wheels were a bit of a stretch.

The scene was so vivid that almost everyone who saw the video agreed. The comments were telling:

"Damn, I thought the animals had become spirits, but it's just the Black Bear Spirit. No worries then!"

"Now Tang Monk won't be able to complete his journey."

"Turns out Journey to the West got it wrong. The Black Bear Spirit successfully stole the robe and the White Dragon Horse!"

"Wu Cheng'en: Sure, you want a spin-off?"

"..."

Lin Muxue watched the video again, amazed that a bear could roller skate so smoothly. And how did the horse not fear a bear?

She knew the farm had a white horse, but she had no idea when a black bear had appeared.

President Zhang hadn't mentioned anything.

"Let's go back to the office center and see what's going on," Lin Muxue said, handing her phone back to Liu Qian and hurrying out of the Beilu Campsite.

While President Zhang's lack of communication had put their operations team in a difficult position, to be honest, they might not have been able to create something as effective as this.

The image of the Black Bear Spirit stealing the robe and the White Dragon Horse had been firmly established by the video.

This unexpected result could be leveraged.

The farm could capitalize on this and build a more compelling narrative around it.

This wouldn't be difficult.

When Lin Muxue and Liu Qian returned to the office center, they saw the white horse dozing in the courtyard. The horse seemed to be woken by the sound of their high heels and looked up at them with a lazy expression.

They had to admit, the horse was truly beautiful, with a pristine white coat and a majestic appearance that lived up to the name "White Dragon Horse."

Entering the main work area, they hadn't even reached Zhang Lin's office when they noticed a group of people gathered outside, including new hires from the HR department and two girls from the operations team.

As they approached, they saw President Zhang teaching the bear in the monk's robe something, with fruit bowls scattered around. Lin Mengyao was assisting him.

Lin Muxue was curious and walked in.

The people gathered outside immediately greeted her respectfully:

"President Lin!"

"Sis Lin!"

"..."

Lin Muxue nodded in response and then asked Lin Mengyao, "Mengyao, what is President Zhang up to?"

Lin Mengyao replied instinctively, "President Zhang is setting up a special fruit stand where this black bear will sell fruit. Oh, and its name is Xiaohei!"

"Xiaohei!" Lin Muxue wanted to comment on the name, but when she heard President Zhang's plan, she was taken aback, "Let a bear sell fruit? Is that even possible?"

As she spoke, she noticed that President Zhang had already hung a WeChat QR code payment tag around the black bear's neck.

Is this for real?

"Senior Sister, why don't you try some of the fruits on the table?" President Zhang said with a smile.

Lin Mengyao also looked at her, hesitating.

This made Lin Muxue even more puzzled, but she tried picking up some fruit from the table. As soon as she did, the black bear ran over to her and held up the QR code.

The sudden action made her gasp in shock.

What does he want, for me to pay?

Lin Mengyao and the girls outside burst into laughter at her reaction.

Realizing what was happening, Lin Muxue took out her phone and scanned the QR code, paying 10 yuan.

Immediately, a voice from the black bear's collar announced, "WeChat payment received: 10 yuan!"

Xiaohei clearly heard this and put down the QR code, running back to President Zhang and grinning, its eyes gleaming.

It looked as if it was asking, "How did I do?"

President Zhang smiled and patted the bear's head, praising it, "Xiaohei, well done."

Xiaohei's mouth curved into a wide grin, looking like a child who couldn't contain his joy after being praised.

This scene left Lin Muxue speechless.

Is this really possible?

This black bear is too smart. She suspected it might be a reincarnated black bear spirit, still attached to its previous life's brocade robe because the Mengpo Soup didn't work well enough.

President Zhang was also impressed. Initially, he hadn't thought the black bear would be able to do this, but the +1 intelligence attribute gave him a pleasant surprise.

He hadn't needed to teach Xiaohei for long; it quickly understood, though not perfectly. Its intelligence seemed to surpass that of many children, and he thought it would be worth finding a teacher to teach it math.

After all, if it's running a fruit stand, it needs to know how to count, right?

After a moment of shock, Lin Muxue realized that this Xiaohei had the potential to become an internet sensation. She asked, "President Zhang, does it have all the necessary permits?"

President Zhang smiled, "Don't worry, Sis. Xiaohei has all the necessary documents. I plan to set up an animal fruit stand, not to make money, but to add some spiritual energy to the farm and give visitors another spot to take photos. I'll need your help to promote it."

Lin Muxue couldn't help but tease, "Do I even need to promote it? It's already a hot topic, and netizens have already created a character for the black bear. We can just go with the flow."

"Why not put up a big sign at the fruit stand with cartoon images of the black bear spirit and the Monkey King from Journey to the West? The plot can be the black bear spirit being chased by the Monkey King, Pigsy, and Sandy after stealing the brocade robe and the White Dragon Horse. Oh, and we can add Nezha too!"

"Write on the sign: 'I, the black bear spirit, was severely injured in a battle with the Monkey King and his brothers after stealing the brocade robe and the White Dragon Horse. Now, unable to transform, I am selling fruit at Lishan Farm to raise funds for healing medicine. I hope those who pass by will buy some fruit to help me. When I transform again, I will surely repay you!'"

"Give it a little hat with a sign that says, 'Do you believe I am the black bear spirit?'"

"If possible, have someone make an animated video and install a screen to play it next to the fruit stand."

President Zhang couldn't help but give Lin Muxue a thumbs up.

This was clearly a good idea, and it was easy to implement. When Xiaohei is paired with the White Dragon Horse at the fruit stand, it will create a very vivid scene.

Moreover, visitors will feel more engaged and enjoy the playful humor.

Lin Mengyao and the girls outside exchanged glances, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"Do you believe I am the First Emperor of Qin?"

"Oh my..."
