Chapter 293: Chapter 292: The Path of Development

Looking at the pairs of eager eyes, Peter Brown knew in his heart that the villagers here weren’t unwilling to progress, but rather incapable of finding a path to development.

In fact, when Peter came, he had already found that the situation here wasn’t really bad, the most important being that the village was close to the neighbouring province.

Thinking of this, Peter turned to the villagers and said, "Everyone assumes that we have no resources, that it is difficult for us to develop, that we don’t have funds, that we don’t have transportation. None of these are problems. Since you all trust me, I am willing to lead you in developing this village and to improve everyone’s lives!"

"Good!"

Joseph Carter was the first to enthusiastically clapped, and the villagers also cheered.

"Boss Wang, can you tell us how to develop?" a girl in the crowd asked.

"Alright, let me talk about our development situation here, I had some chats on the way here and learned a lot of things. Actually, our village has pretty good geographical conditions. Firstly, isn’t the only thing standing between us and the neighboring province a large mountain?"

"Yes, the mountain is too high, it takes a full day to climb over and the terrain is very steep, it’s very hard to climb."

Peter smiled and said: "Everybody knows that mountain isn’t wide, it is just over a kilometer. In time, if we could dig a tunnel through it and build a wide road, your travel time to that province will be greatly reduced, especially if you drove."

Aah!

All the people were stunned, they had never thought about this. The idea of creating a tunnel through the mountain left them looking at Peter in surprise.

Peter looked towards the mountain and said: "This whole mountain range is inaccessible. In the past, everyone could only climb over, some places were even impassable. We can completely avoid this. By digging a tunnel through the bottom of the mountain, we’ll connect with the neighboring province, right?"

"Boss Wang, that would cost a lot of money, who would spend so much to dig such a tunnel for us!"

"Yeah, if it really does go through, the neighboring province will be far closer. I’ve climbed it once, there was a very wide road on the other side of the mountain. If connected, it will be amazing."

"Who would spend money on such a worthless place like ours!"

Now, everyone was starting to discuss among themselves.

By then, Peter was even more confident. He believed that once the step-by-step plans began, this would certainly not pose an issue.

He looked at everyone and continued: "Look at your conditions here, look at those stone forests. Even though they are just areas filled with rocks, many rocks actually resemble animals and people. If we could make up some stories, people from the city would love to come and see."

"Yeah, there really are many stories in this stone forest, including several legends." Another young man chimed in.

"According to legend, that mountain has a story too. It is said that a divine being split it with a sword, and there’s still half a broken sword there." Someone else added.

"Exactly, having stories is an advantage. In time, it will attract many people."

Peter pointed at the tunnel that the river flowed through and said, "I’ve heard that you can take a boat through there, and the scenery inside is very nice. If it’s developed well, this place could also be very attractive."

Everyone turned to look at the tunnel as mentioned by Peter, they never thought that it could be developed in such a manner.

Peter smiled again saying, "This place is actually a treasure land. You are blissfully unaware of how fortunate you are. On the way here, I noticed the river’s fluctuation. Do you know how much city dwellers enjoy rafting? We can develop it into a rafting route, which will be an equally attracting place."

Listening to Peter’s description, the villagers of Blackstone Village seemed to really understand their own village for the first time. Each of their eyes widened with a new perspective.

"Boss Wang, can this really work?"

"Of course it’s real. If developed well, your village will be the first to advance, and the income of each of your households will be very high. It just depends on whether you are willing to follow my lead."

"Boss Wang, you lead us. Our village has been impoverished for too long. As long as you say the word, I, Joseph Carter, will rush forward without a second thought!"

"Yes, Boss Wang, I’ll do whatever you tell me."

Inspired by Peter’s speech, the villagers were boiling with enthusiasm, feeling that their village indeed had many potential money-making opportunities.

Peter Brown nodded and said, "Alright, since everyone trusts me, I’ll send people as soon as possible to plan out a scheme and see how we should develop things."

After receiving Peter’s promise, the mood improved significantly. Everyone downed bowl after bowl of wine until they were all drunk.

The words spoken by Peter today ignited a passionate fervor within everyone, especially the younger ones who were buzzing with energy, as if they were about to rise to wealth.

Peter didn’t get drunk, he stayed at Scott Taylor’s house that night.

Scott Taylor gave Peter his best blanket. Peter didn’t feel right taking out his own bedding from his ring, so he accepted it.

However, when midnight came, Peter found that the room was full of fleas making his whole body feel uncomfortable. He had no choice but to sit up in bed and begin to cultivate.

Protected by the shield of his True Qi, the fleas could not bite Peter.

However, once he woke up in the middle of the night, Peter found himself unable to fall asleep again. All he could hear were arousing sounds.

Possibly because of Peter’s words, the entire village was excited. All of Taylor’s family could not sleep, so they all started engaging in intimate activities.

Separated only by thin partitions, each household could hear what was going on in the next. Peter discovered that first Scott and his wife got busy. Then, despite his injuries, Spencer Taylor next door started getting physical with his own spouse as well.

Then, it was Edward Little’s turn.

With this entire family causing a racket, all Peter could do was smile bitterly.

Unable to sleep, Peter quietly got up and pushed open the wooden door to leave.

The door itself was a simple construction of a few wooden boards held together by vine.

Under the moonlight, Peter walked along the mountain path towards the river.

Given the hot weather, Peter intended to take a dip in the river to cool his heated body.

But what Peter didn’t expect was that the river was full of bathers, especially young people who were frolicking about. As he proceeded further, he found more pairs of men and women embracing each other and getting frisky.

There’s no peace anywhere!

Peter had initially intended to calm his mind here. He didn’t expect such a situation, which only served to further fuel the fire within.

"Is that Boss Wang?"

A voice suddenly issued from a cluster of grass.

Upon looking, Peter saw it was a young man named Modest Thompson, with whom he had had a pleasant chat on the road.

"Oh, it’s Modest!"

Then, a girl popped her head out. Peter saw a very pretty face; the two of them were probably in the middle of a romantic conversation.

Upon closer examination under the moonlight, the girl indeed looked beautiful. After her bath, her appearance was no longer obscured.

"Boss Wang, this is my sweet Susan Turner."

Upon saying this, to Susan Turner, he said, "With Boss Wang coming, our village will begin to develop."

Susan Turner suddenly started singing a melodious song, all while looking at Peter.

At this point, Peter was even more confused.

"Boss Wang, we hold a singing competition every day. If the girl likes your song, she will be with you for the night. Let me teach you how to sing."
