Watching the two return, everyone was surprised and uncertain, "They...they came back so quickly?"
Wasn’t spending an entire day at the temple to enshrine a tablet and offer to Buddha the norm? If they had the vegetarian meal there, it would take even longer.
Yet they returned after just over a Shichen, they must have gone to a local earth god’s temple, right?
Bai Junjun had nothing to say, as today she indeed went to throw away good money.
Thinking of the one thousand taels, Bai Junjun felt as though her heart was being torn apart with pain, so she cast an annoyed glance at Li Wenli.
"You said ’spent fortune can come back again’, I’d like to see how you make that happen!"
Li Wenli was full of confidence, "Don’t worry, it will definitely come back."
"???" Everyone else was out of the loop and had no idea what had transpired.
However, seeing Bai Junjun grit her teeth in frustration, it seemed likely that she suffered a loss today, right?
Therefore, everyone worked more cautiously and carefully.
Soon, the boxes were completed, and Bai Junjun felt a little less sorrowful looking at them.
She asked everyone to continue fixing up the dilapidated house while she herself followed Li Wenli with the beehive boxes back to Snow Garden.
The two entered the Space silently, where the courtyard now had Jasmine, a spring, and after a day and night of adaptation, the little bees were back to their brick-carrying routines.
The two placed the boxes calmly in the courtyard.
These were specially made following the Beekeeper’s design for a standard beehive box.
The standard beehive box, as the most advanced home for little bees, was both complex and simple; it was just an ordinary wooden box with appropriate gaps around it for the bees to enter and exit.
Inside the box, there was a queen excluder to separate the queen bee from the worker bees.
With the egg-laying and honey-producing areas separated, honey collection became more convenient and did not disturb the queen bee’s egg-laying process.
In this manner, the little bee family could continue to grow steadily, and they would have a steady supply of honey.
The two then proceeded to harvest the honey.
However, this perverse Space had an annoying rule, which was that items stuck together could not be separated.
While working, the two of them had to hold hands, which made the task far from efficient.
Bai Junjun thought for a while and eventually decided to tie their feet together.
With three legs between them, their feet were bound but their hands were free—it was a loophole in the system, wasn’t it?
In this way, they silently took the wooden barrels out of the room and started cutting the Beehive one after another.
The sudden destruction of their home left the little bees incredibly irritated and angry.
However, these were Italian bees, which produced lots of honey as well as propolis and Royal jelly, but when it came to the combat system, they were on the bottom of the food chain.
Bees, spiders, or ants could take them down, let alone behemoths like Bai Junjun and Li Wenli.
Back in Fubo City, Bai Junjun once accidentally disturbed a Beehive and got stung so bad her face swelled up; but here, the two of them were harvesting honey with impunity while the bees merely buzzed around them without attacking.
They showed an attitude of, ’if you can’t beat them, join them.’
Although collecting honey became easier, they also knew that the bees only produced honey for survival, so they had to be careful not to harvest too much, lest the bees leave.
They were well aware of the importance of not pushing things to the brink.
After taking two-thirds of the honey, they put one-third of it back into the wooden boxes and cautiously transferred the queen bee into the box as well.
With the queen bee having moved into the new home, the following worker bees naturally went in too.
After getting all of this done, Bai Junjun covered the boxes with a layer of thousand-year-old thatch.
Insects tend to avoid light, so making their homes darker not only made them more comfortable but also helped maintain moisture.
Soon, the little bees adapted to their luxurious new home, happily buzzing in and out.
