บท 28: Su Wen's Luck

In the living room, Wang Hai looked at Song Tian, "Brother, don't tell your parents that I told you, my dad would be mad if he knows it," he said.

Song Tian laughed, "Don't worry about that, it just surprises me that my parents are building a small apartment in this area," he said.

Song Li, who wakes up from his bed, looked at two people he didn't recognize, he walks to the couch and letting out meow sounds.

Wang Hai surprised to see the cat who just came to lay on the couch, "Brother, when did you get this toyger?" He asked as he picks the cat and rubs its head.

Song Tian started to explain all the stuff was happening while both of them are away. Since Lin Hua already knows, he might as well tell Lin Qiang about it.

Several minutes later, Wang Hai and Lin Qiang dumfounded to hear what Song Tian said to them. Wang Hai looked at the cat who keeps letting out meow to him, "Really? Brother, are you high right now?" He said as he didn't believe what Song Tian told him.

Lin Qiang also shook his head, "Xiao Tian, don't drink too much. You have to control it," he said.

Song Tian smiled bitterly and took the cat from Wang Hai's hand, and he looked at the cat, "Xiao Li, can you talk to them? Why are you kept meowing with them?" He asked.

Song Li transmitted his voice into Song Tian's mind, "My throat didn't have the energy to let the voice out," he said.

Song Tian said, "There's still a lot of fish in the fridge."

Song Li said, "Most of them are river trout, it's so boring. If you get me some tuna, I might consider talking to both of them."

Song Tian eyes twitched, "Fine. I'll order some tuna for you. Talk to them now, or else they might think I'm crazy," He said.

Song Li looked at Wang Hai and Lin Qiang, sighed, "You see, it's not easy to be a spiritual beast on this world, and you should be grateful that this Lord Tiger even bothered to talk with you. Oh, if you have good quality fish, I might consider talking with you again," he said as he jumps to his scratching post.

Wang Hai and Lin Qiang, who just saw the cat talking to them, had their jaw widened. They thought that Song Tian was drunk and talking nonsense.

Wang Hai looked at the cat who's playing on the scratching post, "This... The cat really talks," he said.

Lin Qiang was speechless looking at the cat can really talk, he pinched his thigh and slapped his own face to see if he's dreaming, "Ouch... I'm not dreaming," he said as he feels the pains on his thigh and cheek.

Song Tian, who saw Lin Qiang slapping his own face, laughed.

Wang Hai and Lin Qiang are starting to observe the cat for a while. Wang Hai tries to get the cat to talk again, but the cat asks him to get some good fish if he wanna talk to the cat.

Several moments later, Wang Hai bids farewell to Song Tian and Lin Qiang. Lin Qiang looked at the watch, "It's already 9 PM. Xiao Tian, I'm going to pick my little sister on Su Wen's house. Thank you for your help and taking care of my little sister," he said.

Song Tian smiled, "You don't have to thanks me, it's all my brother's doing. Take care," he said, and he went to the chicken coop.

Looking at the fertilized chicken eggs on the breeding room, "Phew, I almost forgot I'm breeding another chicken," he said and pick the fertilized eggs and put it on the incubator.

Song Tian went back to his cabin, played with the cat for a while, and he got a text message from Su Wen.

Reading the text messages, Song Tian went upstairs and opening the VoIP software on his PC. He already saw Su Wen's on the voice channel and joined, "Yo, what's up?" He said.

Su Wen said, "Hello, can you hear my voice?"

Song Tian laughed and said, "Of course I can, whenever you speak, there's going to be a green indicator on your name. Am I hearing the crisp sounds of a new mic right now?"

Su Wen said, "Really? Let me check. Oh, there's a green indicator on it."

Su Wen continued, "This mic just arrived this afternoon, I watch a lot of tutorial videos on Sphere just to install this," she said.

Song Tian laughed, "Worth it, now your voice is way better and from now on, my eardrums are safe from bursting," he said.

Su Wen laughed, "Do you want me to use my phone again? Hehe. Oh, are you busy right now? If not, play a game with me, please. Now Sister Hua already left, and Xiao Xia is busy with something," she said.

Song Tian said, "Please don't ever use that damned thing again. Sure, I'll hop in into the server now." He opened the game and clicked Song Xia's private server.

After playing the survival game for two hours, both of them ended their session, "So, how's your farm doing right now?" Su Wen asked.

Song Tian answered, "It's really good, the manager at the cake shop you always hanging out with my little sister came to buy my strawberries. Her name is Fujiwara Ayame if I remember correctly," he said.

Su Wen surprised voice could be heard, "Wow, Fujiwara Ayame isn't just a manager, she's the owner of it. The one who makes the cakes on her shop is her apprentice, and she's basically a master pastry chef," she said.

This time, Song Tian surprised to hear the young woman who buys his strawberries is a master pastry chef.

Both of them continues talking on VoIP software for an hour. Song Tian turned off his PC and went to sleep.

In the morning, Song Tian already finishes with all work, and he got a call from Bob Lawrence, "What's up, Brother Bob?" He answered the call.

"Song Tian, are you the one who posted the eggs on the marketplace? Is it still available?" Bob Lawrence said.

Song Tian surprised that his buyer is Bob Lawrence, "Yes, all ten packs are still available. Why don't you go to my farm if you need eggs?"

Bob Lawrence said, "I don't even know your chicken already has produced that many eggs. Anyway, can you send it to my house? I'll transfer the money. I have a meeting appointment in a minute, and my wife was asking me to order her some eggs."

Song Tian said, "Ah, I forgot to tell you that. Alright, I'll send the eggs to your home," the call ended and Song Tian went to pack his all his eggs from the material storage.

Arrived at Lawrence's family house, Song Tian greeted by the Tibetan Mastiff, "Hey Max," He said as he rubs the mastiff on its head.

Mia Lawrence, who just finished watering her flowers in the backyard, noticed her dog running to the outside. She went to see what's happening and surprised to see Song Tian.

Song Tian looked at Mia Lawrence who's coming from the backyard, "Sister Mia, your eggs are here. Your husband is the one who asks me to deliver it," he said.

Mia Lawrence smiled apologetically, "Ah, sorry for troubling you. Where did you buy these eggs? I looked at the local market, and there's only a few of them left," she said.

Song Tian laughed as it was his fault for Lawrence's couple didn't know he had the eggs for sale, "It's from my farm. Sister Mia, if you ever need the eggs or vegetables, contact me," He said as he took the plastic bag with ten containers inside it and handed the plastic bag to Mia Lawrence.

Mia Lawrence surprised, "Wow, I didn't know your farm had eggs ready to sell. Alright, I'll contact you once I need the eggs and some vegetables," she said as she took the plastic bag.

Song Tian said, "Yes, I forgot to tell both of you and your husband. Even Brother Bob found my product in the online marketplace."

Mia Lawrence looked at Song Tian, "Song Tian, you should advertise your product. Try to make a flyer or advertise it in a local newspaper. Don't underestimate the newspaper as there's a lot of people who are still read it," she advised.

Song Tian nodded, "Yes, I should try that. Thank you, Sister Mia," he said.

Mia Lawrence smiled, "Don't start big, take it slowly, step by step. Oh, where's your girlfriend Su Wen, Lin Hua, and your little sister?" She asked.

Song Tian shook his head, "Nah, we're just friend, Lin Hua is on her home right now, and my little sister already left with my parents. Speaking of Su Wen, she's already moved to this area," he said, and he tells the address of Su Wen to Mia Lawrence.

Mia Lawrence eyes lit up, "That's great! Too bad your little sister isn't here. We should hold a gathering again soon!" She said.

Song Tian laughed, "Sure, I'll let Su Wen and Lin Hua know," he said and bids farewell to Mia Lawrence.

At the gazebo, Song Tian sat on the couch as he didn't know what to do. He checks his quest progress, and it shows ($365/$15.000), "Still got a long way to go," he sighed and went to get his fishing gears.

After fishing for a while, Song Tian heard Su Wen's knocking the door while calling him, he shouted, "Su Wen, I'm in the backyard," he said and removed the hook from the fish he just caught.

At the backyard, Su Wen looked at Song Tian, who's fishing and Song Li is playing with the bucket of fish, "Say, don't you have anything to do? To always spend your time fishing," she said.

Song Tian looked at Su Wen, gasped, "What do you mean by not have anything to do? I'm fishing to practice my patience, which leads to mental strength, and it's going to strengthen my soul." he said.

Song Tian pointed at Song Li who's playing with the bucket of fish, "See the cat? He's training his reflex and speed in a small place by avoiding the fish from touching his paws," he said, but Song Li catch the fish with his paw and eat it.

Su Wen looked at the cat who's eating the fish, laughed, "Yeah yeah, he's training his reflex. Anyway, are you going to see Xiao Xia tomorrow?" She asked.

Song Tian puzzled, "See what? Is there any event? Her birthday's not even close yet," he said.

Su Wen said, "Didn't she already told you? She said there's going to be a martial art tournament tomorrow and she's participating in it."

Song Tian shocked, "Ah, I forgot. It's almost the end of January," he said and went to the cabin to get his phone, he saw there are a missed call and a message from his little sister.

Song Tian calls his little sister, and not long after the call answered, "Brother, I'm going to participate in the tournament, be sure to watch me," Song Xia voice could be heard on the phone.

Song Tian said, "I almost forgot about that if Su Wen didn't let me know. I'll come to see your match tomorrow."

Song Xia said, "How can you forget such an important event. Alright, I'm going to end the call now. Dad is on his sergeant mode right now to train me."

The call ended, Song Tian went to the backyard, and he saw Su Wen is using his fishing rod trying to fish in the river, he walks closer and says, "Can you use this fishing rod? I have another fishing rod if it's hard to use this one."

Su Wen looked at Song Tian, "Of course I can, the only difference in your fishing rod is where the lines come from," she said as she saw the fish took a bite since the river is really clear.

Song Tian saw the fish took a bite, "Wow, hurry up and pull that river trout out of the water," he said.

Su Wen tries to pull the fishing rod, and when the river trout touched the surface of the river, a bigger fish swam toward it quickly and ate the river trout. The bigger fish kept its jaw closed while it's being pulled out of the water by Su Wen.

Su Wen who thought she caught a river trout didn't expect she ended up caught a bigger fish instead, she's happily put the fish on the net and asked Song Tian to remove the hook from it.

Song Tian jaw widened after he saw what's happening in front of him, he looks at the fish Su Wen caught which is the way more bigger than the river trout he usually caught, "What the fudge!"
