Chapter 287: Chapter 286: Still Willing to Help

When Peter Brown returned to his residence halfway up the mountain, it was already late. Adonis Harrison left a phone number before leaving, as the things Peter had mentioned were rather significant, and he needed to report them personally.

Seeing that Adonis had left, Peter didn’t care much about their thoughts; he was just giving them a heads-up. Whether there was any policy support didn’t matter. Only Peter knew his own situation. If he could truly realize his ideas, the progress of society would be accelerated, and Hua Nation becoming a powerful country wouldn’t be a dream.

In fact, the purpose of Peter telling Adonis was to let him inform the cultivation clans. Peter believed that they were serious about refining artifacts, even if he was talking about machinery. They would inevitably come to find out. Moreover, he had already gained such a significant reputation that they would come to get on good terms with him. As long as he mentioned his plans, they would come to support him in any way possible. With their potential power, building roads and the like wasn’t a big deal. The development here would be swift.

Peter went to check the medicine garden on the back mountain and found the Lingcao plants growing well. When he picked some Lingcao and left, he saw Luke White, the Ghost General, peeking at him.

"Luke White, how is your practice of the Spirit Ghost Skill going?"

"Master, this cultivation technique is too awesome. I have already refined it to the first level!"

Upon hearing Peter’s inquiry, Luke White hurriedly replied respectfully.

Peter looked at Luke White and said, "That’s good. This is a great place for cultivating. You should focus on closed-door cultivation. More cultivators will come here soon. Don’t argue with them. As long as you tell them about your relationship with me, there shouldn’t be any problems."

"Master, I understand."

Peter could see that the Ghost General was now genuinely obedient. The Spirit Ghost Skill was the cultivation technique best suited for it. He believed that it would be able to upgrade quickly.

After sending Luke White off to cultivate, Peter returned to his residence.

Although Luke White had already reached the first level of Ghost Cultivation, similar to the Qi Refining First Layer, Peter knew that he couldn’t be of much help. However, Luke White did have excellent potential. As long as he started cultivating, he would improve significantly.

After refining several elixirs under the lamp, Peter took one and began cultivating while sitting cross-legged.

Without good elixirs, cultivation was slow. The elixirs Peter refined could only slightly increase his True Qi. Breaking through in one go was still challenging.

Of course, Peter was well aware that his current rate of progress far outstripped that of other cultivators on Earth. They had to work harder when refining their True Qi.

The following day, just as the sky began to brighten, Peter heard a commotion while he was meditating.

When he left the house, he saw that the members of the Armstrong Clan had arrived. They were busy preparing in the kitchen.

"Peter, you’re awake?"

"Peter, we’re making porridge. It’ll be ready soon."

"What’s going on outside?" Peter asked.

"The villagers have come. They heard about the land contract and wanted to ask about it." Narcissus Brown was donning jeans and a plaid shirt today, looking exceptionally youthful. Her slender legs, in particular, accentuated her attractive figure.

This woman is becoming increasingly enchanting!

Narcissus Brown had clearly dressed up today. Upon seeing Peter’s gaze, she became somewhat flustered.

After glancing at Narcissus Brown, Peter walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing that Peter had just glanced at her, Narcissus Brown’s mood sank. She didn’t know what she was thinking.

Peter’s courtyard was spacious, offering a panoramic view of the entire mountain village. As Peter appeared, the chattering villagers fell silent. Their eyes were fixed on Peter, filled with longing.

"Everyone’s here?" Peter greeted them with a smile and a wave.

"Hello, Peter."

"Hello, CEO Wang."

"Hello, Boss Wang!"

...

Everyone eagerly greeted Peter Brown.

Even those who were originally sitting stood up.

As for Peter, the villagers didn’t treat him like one of their younger generation but with great respect.

At this time, Alvin Brown turned to Peter and said, "Peter, everyone’s idea is to ask about what you said about the development of this place."

Looking at the eager eyes, Peter said, "I believe you all know my intentions to develop this place, right?"

"It’s true, CEO_Wang, will there really be people coming to invest and develop our place?"

"CEO_Wang, with this kind of place and inaccessible roads, how can we develop?"

Everyone started discussing again.

Peter turned to Alvin Brown and asked, "Grandpa, has everyone divided up some land?"

"Yes, everyone has land, but there’s not much use for it in the mountains, and people wouldn’t ask for it."

Peter looked at the incoming Narcissus Brown and asked, "Madam, how’s the hot spring land I asked you to contract?"

Narcissus Brown smiled and said, "That place wasn’t suitable for planting in the first place, and you also said that once it’s built, there will be a free area for villagers to bathe in, so the village community council agreed." Her mood improved upon Peter’s inquiry, smiling as she introduced the work she had done.

Alvin Brown nodded and said, "Our village is all about democracy, so as long as you can afford to contract the land, there’s no issue, and the price you offered is not low."

Peter then looked at everyone with eyes that seemed to say, "I’m here to make something happen."

One woman laughed and said, "CEO_Wang, everyone knows that if this village wants to develop, someone has to take the lead. You’re doing all these things to bring everyone forward, so the more land you contract, the more at ease everyone will be!"

"Exactly, CEO_Wang, if you take the lead, everyone else will follow."

Peter looked at everyone and said, "Alright then, I won’t say anything else. I’ll contract some more land."

Alvin Brown said, "Everyone listen to me, Peter is leading the way, and we, the Brown Family, will actively contract land too. What do you have to worry about?"

At this point, Ben Taylor chimed in, "Peter is giving everyone an opportunity. If you don’t seize this chance, I believe there won’t be much of an opportunity in the future."

"But we want to contract land and don’t have the money. We can only guard the land we were given!"

A villager sighed.

It was the villagers who had been working with Peter who became excited. They’d already made some money and now had something to rely on.

Seeing the looks on everyone’s faces, Peter sighed and said, "Everyone can prosper even if they just rely on the land given by their families."

Alvin Brown heard some private discussions and sighed, "You may have all heard of what happened in Flower Creek Village. When they were poor, Peter went and helped them develop. What was the result? A woman instigated them, and they all became ungrateful. This time, Peter came to our village to develop because I, Alvin Brown, humbly asked him to. He could’ve gone anywhere to develop, but why did he choose to come here? You guys should think it through. I know some people have talked negatively about the Brown family because Peter helped us. I just want to ask one question: why would Peter help you guys for free?"

"That’s right, this time Peter has told everyone that this place will develop, and as long as they contract land, they can also come up. He’s already helping everyone."

Richard Brown also chimed in.

It has to be said that the Brown family’s influence was significant. After a few words from the Brown family members, everyone quieted down.

Peter had been secretly observing everyone’s expressions, and seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he had hoped for, he finally said, "Of course, I can lend you money to contract lands, but we will need to sign some agreements on how to repay them."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, realizing that Peter was genuinely helping them.
