Chapter 71 Explanation

Construction on the villa has already begun, but the workers' actions have left Ye Zi's family somewhat bewildered, as they have put up two banners, one outside the workers' temporary housing and the other in front of the villa's foundation.

The banner on the prefabricated house is understandable, as it signifies ownership of the house. However, the other banner is harder to explain.

Because this is a grassland, apart from Ye Zi's family of three and the twenty workers, no one else passes by, and no one even comes to visit.

On the grasslands, people usually call first if there's something going on, and will only come over if a face-to-face meeting is truly necessary.

However, this situation has not occurred in Ye Zi's family.

Although puzzled, Ye Zi was too lazy to ask any more questions. However, a few days after starting work, a new problem did indeed arise.

First, there's the issue of the internet. With the internet so developed now, short video platforms have become a source of entertainment for many people in their spare time.

However, Ye Zi's family's internet connection was really bad. It took a long time to buffer a video, and the workers complained about it a lot. Without internet, they could only play games like poker to pass the time.

Although Ye Zi didn't care much about it, he did feel quite uncomfortable without the internet, and he was bored in his spare time.

Unlike in the city, where you can go shopping and enjoy nightlife after get off work, the grasslands offer workers only this much entertainment during their daily rest time, which is still not possible.

After hearing too many complaints, Yezi had other ideas. The internet is a trend. Not to mention now, even after the villa is built, it won't be possible to live without internet at home.

So Yezi plans to install Wi-Fi at home.

After inquiring, I learned that it costs around 10,000 yuan to install a network cable. The main reason is that the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and the distance between each household is too far. A distance of more than ten miles is considered close. That's what neighbors are.

In the grasslands, a village may have only a dozen or so households, but it covers a large area. Moreover, it is not called a village, but a Gacha.

Gacha is an administrative unit at the same level as a village. The next level up is Sumu, which is an administrative unit at the same level as a township.

There is a signal tower in Sumu, so if you want to run a network cable, you can only do so from Sumu.

Money is not a problem, and there's a place to run the internet cable, which saves a lot of trouble.

Pay the fee, and the telecommunications company will send someone over to run a cable across the utility pole.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Ye Zi paid the money one day and received a call the next day asking him to lead the way.

The telecommunications company was very fast; the internet cable arrived at Yezi's home in just two days.

After setting up the router with maximum power, the 10,000 yuan was considered spent.

The workers were happy because they could go online to watch videos and chat with family and friends, while also completing the tasks assigned by their boss.

That's right. The reason the workers complained about not having internet was not only because they couldn't watch videos, but also because Ye Zi definitely couldn't do a live stream without internet.

If Yezi doesn't start live streaming, then the plan to run free ads will fall through.

So the construction company boss asked the workers to mention the inconveniences of not having internet access, so that Ye Zi could quickly achieve internet freedom, start live streaming, and make it easier for him to get free advertising.

Ye Zi was unaware of the construction company owner's intentions, but the internet certainly made things much more convenient.

However, there was a downside: Ye Qingshan and Siqin saw the video of their son fighting off a wild wolf and beating a bear.

Then Yezi received a verbal plea for love from her mother.

The burly man from the grasslands, standing over 1.9 meters tall, was being lectured by his mother like a primary school student. The worst part was that Ye Qingshan was nodding along, looking like he was about to hand his wife a piece of his mind.

It was called family discipline, but it was really just a whip used for herding sheep. Of course, Siqin wouldn't actually hit her, and Ye Qingshan was just putting on an act.

After scolding Ye Zi for her recklessness, the couple asked her another question: what was the source of Ye Zi's strange strength?

Only a son knows his own son. Before, on the grassland, Yezi would be out of breath after walking just a few steps. I never expected that after going to the wilderness, he would become a strongman. There must be a reason for such a big difference.

Actually, the couple had noticed that Yezi had become stronger, but they thought it was a normal phenomenon after she successfully lost weight. After all, there wasn't anything particularly heavy to move at home, and Yezi didn't show it.

But in the video, Ye Zi dragged two logs with ease and carried such a large bear as if walking on flat ground. This is not just a matter of being strong; it is almost beyond the scope of normal human beings.

Her gaze toward Ye Zi was scrutinizing, even suspicious, as if she doubted that her son was no longer the same son she knew.

Ye Zi knew that this situation was bound to happen sooner or later, and she was mentally prepared when she was planning to install the network cable.

But there's nothing we can do. Sooner or later, internet freedom will be available on the grasslands, and my parents will see the videos of me in the wilderness sooner or later.

Because Ye Zi won the competition and brought back a bearskin coat, Siqin and Ye Qingshan were very proud of their son and had long wanted to know how Ye Zi hunted bears.

However, Ye Zi had brushed it off before, since when it came to survival, there were bows and arrows, and it wasn't impossible to shoot a brown bear with a bow and arrow.

This feat is worth seeing, especially since it was accomplished by one's own son.

So after the internet became available, Ye Qingshan and his wife would naturally go online to watch Ye Zi's bear hunting videos. However, unlike what they had imagined—shooting bears with arrows—they were actually killed by beating them to death.

It's not just a matter of strength; there's also the question of when Ye Zi learned martial arts. Ye Qingshan and his wife didn't know either, and were waiting for Ye Zi to explain.

Ye Zi knew very well that only after explaining these unreasonable things to his parents could he officially become Ye Zi, instead of a transmigrator who had taken over someone else's place.

“Dad and Mom, I don’t know anything about the fact that my strength has increased. After I went there, it suddenly increased. After returning to China, I inquired about it and found that this was not the first time I had experienced this, but it was rare, and the increase in strength was not as exaggerated as mine.”

A more widely accepted explanation is that environmental stimuli suddenly trigger the body's latent abilities, which are innate but simply haven't been activated yet.

Siqin nodded with some doubt, then continued to ask:

"What's the deal with that martial arts?"

“Yes, it’s the mace technique you mentioned,” Ye Qingshan added.

Ye Zi chuckled and said:

"That's a lie."

"A lie?" Siqin asked, frowning.

Ye Zi nodded and said:

"The Six Harmonies Mace, as the name suggests, is 'suixin' (meaning 'at will'), meaning it can be swung however one pleases, relying mainly on one's strength."

I was livestreaming at the time, and I didn't know if I could win. I had to do something to attract viewers, so that I could earn more money if someone sent gifts. So I chose a name that sounded impressive and then pretended to practice.

"Then why is it called mace technique and not knife technique?" Ye Qingshan asked in confusion.

"Knife techniques are too common, while the mace is an uncommon weapon, which makes it memorable and attracts the audience."

Siqin said speechlessly:

"Then why are you teaching your teammates? Isn't that misleading them?"
