Chapter 79: Firefly Breeding Room!

Chapter 79: Firefly Breeding Room!

As Lin Muxue felt a deep sense of admiration, Zhang Lin also turned to Zhao Han and said, "Director Zhao, from now on, my senior classmate Lin will be in charge of our farm's marketing and operations. You can exchange contact information for easier communication in the future!"

"Miss Lin, it looks like we'll be in touch a lot more often!" Zhao Han smiled, naturally trusting the person Zhang Lin had brought on board. He exchanged contact information with Lin Muxue in a very courteous manner.

Lin Muxue could sense the Tourism Bureau Director's attitude, which made her realize even more clearly how important the Liyuan Farm was to him.

After exchanging contact information, Zhang Lin escorted Lin Muxue and Liu Qian to a hotel to arrange their accommodations.

Later, he took them to the Jinmao Tower!

Zhang Lin had recruited Lin Muxue and her team, but the office space was a concern.

The farm currently had no place for them to work, so they would have to rent an office. Fortunately, online operations didn't require them to be on-site at the farm.

"Senior Lin, this Jinmao Tower is the only commercial building in Youcheng and offers the best office rental environment," Zhang Lin introduced as he led Lin Muxue and Liu Qian into the building.

The environment at Jinmao Tower was indeed excellent. Lin Muxue eventually chose an office with a nice view and enough space for the operations team.

After signing the lease, Zhang Lin said to Lin Muxue, "Senior Lin, regarding accommodation, I'm not sure what kind of living environment you prefer. Once your team is all here, you can have an agent show you some options, and the farm will cover the expenses."

"Sure, our team handles logistics as well, so we'll take care of it," Lin Muxue nodded, satisfied with the arrangement.

After all, they had certain requirements for their living environment and preferred to find their own place.

At that moment, Zhang Lin received a message.

It was from Chu Heng of "The Brainiest": "Boss Zhang, our 'The Brainiest' live challenge is about to start, and we invite you to watch!"

Seeing this, Zhang Lin asked Lin Muxue, "Senior Lin, the 'The Brainiest' live challenge at the Bamboo Maze is about to start. Would you like to watch?"

"Sure, let's go together!" Lin Muxue nodded, showing interest.

On her way, she had reviewed the videos of the Liyuan Farm, and today's 'The Brainiest' and Bamboo Maze challenge were the hottest topics.

Moreover, a farm project that could attract a show like 'The Brainiest' to host a challenge live stream must be something special about the Bamboo Maze.

She was also eager to experience the Bamboo Maze herself.

When Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue arrived at the Bamboo Maze, the live stream had already started. A young man was confidently addressing the camera: "I, Zhang Yang, as the annual champion of 'The Brainiest,' will conquer this Bamboo Maze!"

With that, Zhang Yang entered the Bamboo Maze, followed by a cameraman.

Simultaneously, one of the LCD screens showed a live feed of Zhang Yang, connected to the 'The Brainiest' production team's cameras.

This allowed the spectators outside to clearly see Zhang Yang's progress, making the live stream more engaging and intriguing, especially for those curious about the inside of the Bamboo Maze.

Zhang Lin opened the 'The Brainiest' Douyin account live stream, where Zhang Yang's image was prominently displayed.

At the moment, there was only one feed, but as other contestants entered, the stream would switch between different views.

However, what surprised Zhang Lin the most was the live stream's popularity, which had already surpassed 100,000 views.

"Boss Zhang!" Chu Heng's voice rang out, and he approached with a broad smile.

With the current level of engagement, the 1 million yuan spent was well worth it, and his mood was excellent.

"Mr. Chu, congratulations on the successful live stream planning!"

"Thank you, it's also great publicity for the Bamboo Maze!"

Both of them understood each other.

In the live stream, Zhang Yang had already made his way through several forks in the maze. This live broadcast allowed everyone to see the inside, generating high enthusiasm and engagement among the audience and tourists.

Most importantly, they were finally getting a glimpse of the Bamboo Maze's true appearance.

However, after a few more forks, his pace noticeably slowed down, clearly encountering some difficulties.

The audience assumed he was thinking about the path, but Zhang Lin knew it was due to the Bamboo Maze's confusion +1 and intelligence reduction +1 effects.

Seeing this, Zhang Lin made a guess.

Even as the annual champion of 'The Brainiest,' Zhang Yang would likely end up like He Rou.

As time passed, the 'The Brainiest' production team's top contestants, including He Rou, entered the Bamboo Maze one by one.

The LCD screens at the entrance of the Bamboo Maze began to display live feeds of each contestant.

Compared to the official 'The Brainiest' Douyin account, which had to switch between contestants, the live feeds on the LCD screens at the Bamboo Maze were more visually appealing.

However, only a production team like 'The Brainiest' could pull off such a live stream. The Liyuan Farm couldn't manage it, at least not yet.

As the last contestant entered the Bamboo Maze, the first group of contestants completed the first phase.

However, the atmosphere began to shift. The audience noticed that, whether it was the champion Zhang Yang, He Rou, who had already completed the maze once, or the other contestants, their completion times for the first phase were similar to He Rou's from the previous day. Even Zhang Yang, who was slightly faster, only managed to shave off 5 minutes.

A sudden thought crossed everyone's minds: Could it be that even the strongest minds in the Strongest Brain team wouldn't be able to navigate through the Bamboo Forest Maze at Liyuan Farm?

As time passed, this thought grew stronger. In front of the Bamboo Forest Maze, the tourists began to voice their doubts:

"I have a feeling that these people might not be able to pass through it!"

"Seems like it. One of them took as long as that guy, A Luo, to complete the first stage!"

"If that's the case, A Luo must be pretty strong!"

"..."

Chu Heng's expression was also awkward. After all, as the leader of the Strongest Brain team, they couldn't fail to pass even this Bamboo Forest Maze, right? It couldn't be!

Lin Muxue and Liu Qian, who had been watching the whole time, were becoming increasingly surprised, gaining a deeper understanding of the Bamboo Forest Maze.

If even these people couldn't pass through the Bamboo Forest Maze at Liyuan Farm, it would become the top challenge in the country the next day.

Then, the Bamboo Forest Maze wouldn't have to worry about losing popularity. People, especially celebrities, would keep coming to challenge it. Those who failed would try again, and those who succeeded would be challenged by others.

Time continued to pass.

Finally, someone completed the second stage—it was Zhang Yang. He Ruo and a few others also completed the second stage shortly after.

However, even Chu Heng could see that these contestants were running out of steam. The cameramen were even worse; their cameras were shaking, and they could barely hold them up.

Fortunately, as the sun was about to set, Zhang Yang finally completed the third stage and found the resting area of the third stage.

This offered a bit of comfort, but by this point, he was completely exhausted and could only leave through the safe path.

Chu Heng sighed deeply. It seemed that the Strongest Brain team was destined to fail in the Bamboo Forest Maze.

This made him look at the Bamboo Forest Maze with a new perspective.

Chu Heng hurriedly said to Zhang Lin, "Mr. Zhang, we've booked a table at your farm's restaurant. How about we have dinner together tonight? I have something to discuss with you."

"Sure!" Zhang Lin agreed, thinking that what the other party wanted to talk about must be related to the Bamboo forest maze.

He also invited Lin Muxue: "Sister Lin, why don't you try the farm's home-cooked dishes? I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

"I'm looking forward to it!" Lin Muxue had seen online reviews praising the food at the Liyuan Farm restaurant.

Now, hearing Zhang Lin himself vouch for it, she was sure the farm's home-cooked dishes would be excellent.

As night fell, they finally sat down to eat at the restaurant in the service center. The delicious food, with its +1 flavor attribute, truly left her in awe. It was really that good!

This Liyuan Farm was truly full of wonders!

After the meal, Chu Heng couldn't help but say to Zhang Lin, "Mr. Zhang, I want to enter into a long-term collaboration with your Bamboo Forest Maze. I plan to produce a special series of Strongest Brain centered around your Bamboo Forest Maze."

"Uh!" Zhang Lin hadn't expected such a request and could only say, "Mr. Chu, our Bamboo Forest Maze is open for business, and tourists need to experience it!"

Chu Heng quickly responded, "Mr. Zhang, our show won't interfere with the tourists. We can shoot while they're inside, and the contestants can interact with them. Additionally, we can cover the costs of maintaining the Bamboo Forest Maze!"

Zhang Lin laughed, "Mr. Chu, building the Bamboo Forest Maze wasn't cheap. It cost us 10 million!"

"10 million is no problem! We'll cover it!" Chu Heng said without hesitation.

"In that case, we have no issues, Mr. Chu. You can start preparing the necessary documents," Zhang Lin's smile widened.

After all, he had been planning to build a camping site but lacked the funds. Now, someone was offering to help.

After dinner, Zhang Lin escorted Lin Muxue and Liu Qian to their hotel.

Back home, he looked at the game data in his mind, thinking about the recent arrangements. Suddenly, he remembered he still had a building slot available.

This would allow him to construct another building with special attributes in the real world.

He immediately opened the building market and checked the available options.

Although he didn't have the money now, with Liyuan Farm's current situation, he could still get a loan.

After reaching Level 3, there were many farm-related facilities he could build, including a composting barn.

Suddenly, a special building caught his attention.

Firefly Breeding House: Quality 1

This is a special firefly breeding house. Through this facility, fireflies will have: Breeding Speed +1, Growth Speed +1, Vitality +1, and Bioluminescence +1!

Restrictions: Can only be built within the farm.

Construction Requirements: 1. 2 acres of land. 2. 1 million yuan. 3. 20 pairs of wild fireflies.

Zhang Lin was genuinely surprised. There was such a thing?
