Chapter 95 Butterfly Valley
After signing the contract, Seven asked Wen Le where he wanted to go so that he could make preparations.
The entire interstellar system is made up of countless planets, each with a unique climate. They had to research and prepare thoroughly before each destination. Sometimes, they even had to change all their equipment, even clothing made of specific materials. So, he had to ask Wen Le where he planned to go beforehand so he could make the necessary preparations.
Wen Le thought about it and felt that there was nowhere good to go, so he simply let Seven make the decision: "Why don't you just help me choose a place with lots of plants." After saying that, he spread his hands and said, "Actually, I don't know where to go now."
Hearing this, Seven thought back to some of the places he'd visited. His employer clearly wasn't interested in hunting; he was only after the herbs. He'd even brought a pet with him, clearly planning to do his homework while enjoying the scenery. So, he'd choose a place with beautiful scenery and minimal danger. As for herbs, they were everywhere; it all depended on knowing them. Sometimes, even a humble stone could be a potentially useful herb.
"How about we go to Butterfly Valley?" Seven thought of the butterflies that covered the mountains last time he was there, and he thought young people would definitely like it. Actually, he didn't really like it. The scales of so many butterflies were dropping down, which was really annoying. Because of this, his wife and daughter scolded him for not understanding romance at all. He thought the butterflies were so beautiful, but he was still annoying. He just had a straight-man aesthetic.
Seven wanted to say that this had nothing to do with aesthetics, and that what was wrong with him being straight? What had he done to offend anyone? But he didn't dare say it, so he had to keep it to himself. He hadn't expected that annoying Butterfly Valley would come in handy today. He'd taken advantage of the situation and brought his wife and daughter along for a bit.
The mother and daughter have been clamoring to go to Butterfly Valley for a long time, but they were always busy taking on missions to make money and never had the chance to go. This is a good opportunity for them to go and have some fun.
Of course, he only had this in mind, and he had to tell his employer, Wen Le, before he could proceed. If Wen Le objected to this, he couldn't bring his wife and children with him, and would have to find another time to go.
Wen Le didn't have any qualms about this. After all, one or two more people wouldn't hinder him. "You can bring them if you want, but let me be frank. The others you bring will be responsible for themselves. I won't be held responsible for anything that happens."
Otherwise, what if everyone treated him as a fool? He wasn't a saint, so he just offered himself up to be exploited. If that were the case, he wouldn't be a saint, but a fool.
Seven quickly promised not to cause him any trouble.
He was even more afraid of this than Wen Le. If it got out, how would he feel about it? Who would dare to hire them? Wouldn't that just ruin his own job?
Thinking of this, Seven actually felt a little regretful that he was too impulsive just now. Seeing that Wen Le, his employer, was young and easy to talk to, he made such an unreasonable request to him in a fit of anger. After all, the contract did not state that they could bring their families.
But since it was mentioned, Seven still brought his wife and children along.
When the others heard that Seven was going to bring his family with him, they immediately said, "This henpecked man can't leave his wife and children wherever he goes."
Having said that, I don't really have much objection to Seven's approach. People in their line of work are always away from home and rarely see their families, so it's nice to have a chance to get together now.
Wen Le was quite curious about this Butterfly Valley. He lowered his head and glanced at the big cat that had grown to the size of a calf, imagining the scene of a tiger pouncing on a butterfly...
Alas!
I can’t even imagine it, it’s really eye-catching!
So Wen Le silently looked away again, pretending that he was not looking at Da Mao but at something else.
Jin Cancan felt his owner's gaze sweep over him, but when he looked up in confusion, his owner had already looked away. Big Cat couldn't help but squint his eyes. He felt his owner was a little off-kilter, perhaps up to something sinister again. Like, maybe enrolling him in more tutoring classes or interest classes?
Thinking of this, Jincancan's hair stood up and he quickly ran away before his owner made a decision.
…
Butterfly Valley is one of the famous attractions on Tiny Planet, or more accurately, the only relatively famous one. Tiny Planet is so ordinary that it has some features that other planets also have, but Tiny Planet lacks some features that other planets have. Over time, Tiny Planet has become a relatively common and habitable planet in the interstellar space.
The planet's name is also quite ordinary, named after the first person who discovered it. It can be said that Tiny is the most ordinary habitable planet with no special features. If ranked by rank, it is at most an 18th-tier planet.
However, there is a very famous Butterfly Valley here, where there are colorful and beautiful butterflies all year round. They appear in groups, and from a distance they look like colorful clouds flying across the sky. If you come in the evening, you can see that these butterflies are even more beautiful under the sunset glow.
No one knows how this group of butterflies appeared, nor how they can grow freely in winter. We can only say that this is a magical gift from nature to mankind.
Butterfly Valley is a large canyon that runs almost through the entire Tiny Star, dividing Tiny Star into two.
Butterfly Valley is surrounded by homestays opened by locals, allowing tourists to rest anytime and anywhere. In this way, although Butterfly Valley does not charge admission, it creates income for local people.
Wen Le and his friends were lucky enough to be among the second group of tourists to enter Butterfly Valley. Because there were so many tourists visiting the valley, the number of visitors was limited every day. This meant that those who couldn't get in had to stay in the B&B, which brought in more income for the locals.
The local government generates income through rent, which, combined with taxes on consumption, adds up to a healthy income. Therefore, Tiny Star isn't as poor as the outside world claims; it's simply overlooked because it's too ordinary.
But this will be much more popular than charging exorbitant ticket prices.
Wen Le followed Seven's advice and put on a thin isolation suit when he entered Butterfly Valley that day. It was a bit similar to the transparent plastic raincoat he wore on Earth, but it was lighter and more breathable than that one, and it was still very comfortable to wear.
As for Jin Cancan, Wen Le also put one on him and put special shoe covers on his four furry paws. At first, the big cat was reluctant and insisted on tearing off the shoe covers and isolation clothing. Wen Le glared at him and said, "If you get phosphorus powder on you, I won't help you wash it. You have to clean it yourself."
The big cat froze for a moment, then put down its paw as if nothing had happened: "I just wanted to see if this shoe cover fits my feet~" and had no intention of tearing it off.
Wen Le didn't bother to pay attention to his self-talking behavior. He simply pulled the protective mask on the isolation suit off his head to cover his face, and checked again to make sure there were no gaps before stopping.
After entering Butterfly Valley, everyone spread out and the place seemed a lot wider. It wasn't as crowded as the Flower Country attractions during the Earth period, so the experience was still very good.
I have to say that there are a lot of butterflies here. Thousands of colorful butterflies are dancing in the air. The scene is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
The butterflies here are also accustomed to tourists. They do not shy away from tourists' outstretched hands and even stay on them, which makes everyone exclaim quietly.
Even two butterflies landed on Wen Le's protective shield. Wen Le held his breath and dared not move. He stared at the two butterflies until his eyes almost became cross-eyed.
As for Big Cat, he had long been bewitched by these butterflies and pounced on them with the momentum of a tiger descending from a mountain. However, because he was wearing shoe covers on his feet, he was not used to it. Every time he pounced, his feet slipped and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Wen Le was standing next to him, watching him laugh at his joke in a very unkind way.
…
While playing, Wen Le did not forget to collect the phosphorus powder on the butterfly. Adding a certain proportion of this phosphorus powder can make a low-level hallucinogen, which can also be considered a medicinal material.
This hallucinogen can be sprinkled on the enemy's face when they are in danger while they are off guard. It can cause hallucinations in the enemy for a short period of time, giving you a chance to escape. It is a very practical self-defense potion.
As Wen Le collected the phosphorus powder, he thought: "Teacher Hu only asked me to observe medicinal herbs, not to specify herbs, so it wouldn't be considered cheating now. If the homework gets rejected when I turn it in tonight, I'll deal with it later."
After gathering the necessary phosphorus powder, Wen Le thought of Xu Dongdong, who was still in dire straits, and suddenly had a bad idea. He deliberately took a few pictures of the beautiful scenery of Butterfly Valley and posted them to the group. Sure enough, when the fat man saw the pictures during his break, he started to cry out, threatening to fight Wen Le to the death when he was free.
Xu Dongdong gritted his teeth in the group and said: "If you are a brother, delete all those photos, otherwise this brotherhood will be over." Is this reasonable? He was exhausted, while his friends were traveling and petting cats. Comparing with others is really infuriating.
Wen Lecai ignored him and laughed in the group: "Okay, okay, then let's break up. It's just right that we can buy fewer butterfly specimens and save a lot of money." As we all know, the souvenirs sold at tourist attractions have one thing in common, that is, they are expensive!
Xu Dongdong gritted her teeth and said, "You wish for it. You can't lose anything that belongs to me, or I will cry in front of you."
Wen Le laughed heartily: "Then come on, I'll find a basin to wait for you."
Xu Dongdong was so angry that she couldn't speak. She snorted arrogantly and ignored him.
