Afterward, Zheng Jing mentioned that the roads connecting the territory to the surrounding camps had become more accessible, allowing Running Bulls and Jumping Rabbits to carry people and goods. The rental business was booming like never before, and she wanted to set up a mount rental service either at the Breeding Camp or at the entrance of the territory.

She suggested it would be best to also consider the future griffin flying service, which might require hiring a few people to manage the mount rentals specifically.

Mu Ying agreed, assigning an unused Tree House near the territory’s main gate to her. As for how to expand it, she let Zheng Jing decide based on the needs. Now in charge of the territory’s Beast Taming, Zheng Jing would manage the mount rental shop as part of her business scope.

Finally, there was a new breakthrough in iron refining and material research at the Iron Refining Camp. Professor Han and Old Uncle Rub had developed a method of steel refining, which was quite different from pre-apocalypse techniques, yet still had similarities.

Weapons made from the combination of iron and steel could easily achieve White Quality of medium grade.

Steel blades might not add as much to a weapon’s quality compared to the fine iron forged by hand by Old Uncle Rub, but they could be mass-produced without requiring as much individual skill.

As for fine iron, it still had to be hand-forged at this point.

This was great news as it meant that in addition to selling ordinary ironware, which wasn’t very profitable, the Iron Refining Camp could now mass-produce equipment.

Although they were only White Quality, there was a significant difference compared to ordinary ironware, marking the territory’s first project capable of generating significant revenue, a qualitative leap from the production of common goods.

Upon hearing this, Professor Du immediately proposed that the ironware from the Iron Refining Camp be included in the business team’s sales scope.

Mu Ying awarded a bonus and research funds to Professor Han and Old Uncle Rub, suggesting Professor Han promote an assistant to oversee the production of White Quality steel equipment, while Professor Han and Old Uncle Rub would continue with iron refining and material research.

Having a seasoned elder is like possessing a treasure; these elder professors truly contributed a lot to the territory.

As the meeting was about to adjourn, Mu Ying felt a sense of the territory thriving and flourishing, which made her incredibly happy.

Who could have imagined that this place had started with only a five-hundred square meter area and two or three small Tree Houses?

Overjoyed, Mu Ying’s witch habits kicked in again, “Come to my Plantation tonight for a small evening banquet. Let’s have a team-building celebration to reward everyone’s hard work recently and celebrate the ever-improving state of Qingshan City. You can pre-order what you’d like to eat!”

The mood instantly lightened. Except for the new arrivals, Maya and Carpenter Chen, everyone had attended Mu Ying’s previous celebration banquet and remembered the delicious food, collectively swallowing in anticipation.

“Yes, yes, yes! Will there really be everything?” Liu Luoluo was super excited, “To be honest, I want to try the Gill Pouch Grass that Lily mentioned! I heard it’s really tasty!”

“Of course!” Mu Ying nodded. Gill Pouch Grass was something she had in abundance.

With Liu Luoluo leading the way, the others grew bolder.

“I want to eat the roast whole lamb again!” Guan Hai said.

“Consider it done!” Mu Ying replied.

“I want to drink Happy Fatty Water!” Zheng Jing requested.

“No problem!”

“Fried chicken!”

“Stinky tofu!”

“Hot pot!”

“I want to eat iced watermelon!”

“Certainly.” Making some ice with Magic was no challenge, and she also had watermelons.

...

The employees of Qingshan City experienced their boss’s strength for the first time — out-of-season fruits and vegetables were no problem at all, and she could make anything.

“Mu Ying, are you sure you don’t want our help? There are quite a few things to be handled!” Toward the end, the order was getting expansive, and they all felt a bit guilty.

“No problem at all.” How could a witch not manage to put together a dinner party? If word got out, her witch friends would laugh at her, it’s a piece of cake.

After teleporting back to the Plantation, Mu Ying started preparing.

This time it was much easier than when she had to hastily organize a celebration after killing Sharon. The venue was already set.

And after such meticulous care and decoration for so long, it had become even more perfect and refined.

The Lamp Vine around the venue was no longer a hastily grown variety that could only last for one night; it was now a living, thriving plant there.

The venue now had decorations and arrangements made of various large and small flowers, plants, and trees.

This time was just a gathering with the employees, so the venue didn’t need to be very large. She chose a small pavilion entwined with wisteria.

Inside was a solid wood round table.

Preparing the dishes wasn’t much trouble, and although there were a variety of types, she only needed to pay more attention while using Cooking Magic.

By the time the dinner party arrived, Mu Ying had opened up teleportation access, setting the landing point inside this small pavilion.

“Mu Ying, every time I come here I feel like you live in a fairy tale world!” Liu Luoluo marveled as she looked around the beautiful pavilion.

“Too kind, too kind. It’s all my own doing,” Mu Ying said with a smile. It was one of her own creations; of course, she was happy to be complimented.

Everyone who came would receive a round of compliments and admiration from Mu Ying.

When it came to the meal, it was an exceptional treat; indeed, Mu Ying had delivered on her promise—every dish they ordered was there.

“Isn’t this a bit too much?”

“If you can’t finish, feel free to pack it up and take it with you!” said Mu Ying. “The plates are also made by me, not worth much.”

They were products of her practicing the Shaping Wood Skill, and she had plenty more where those came from!

“Let’s eat!” Mu Ying didn’t bother with frivolous banquet etiquette. Her dinners were purely about eating, drinking, relaxing, chatting, and fun.

However, if people wanted to drink, she had no choice in the matter. Mu Ying was someone who knew anti-drunk magic, so she could drink alcohol like it was water.

After three rounds of drinks, Liu Luoluo became tipsy and blurted out her fierce declaration, “I’m going to work hard on my cultivation so I can work for you for decades, oh no, for centuries! You don’t have to pay me a salary, just provide meals like this!”

Mu Ying raised an eyebrow: “You’d better focus on cultivation then. With higher strength, you’ll have everything.”

“Oh, my beloved deity, you are so great, so charming. But since you never show your face, I can’t even convince myself that you are charming. Please, diffuse that soft glow on your face a bit! Here on Deep Blue Star, even internet scammers lacking confidence in their looks don’t use such heavy filters!”

Mu Ying: “...”

With that mouth of hers, wouldn’t she tire out her deity? Working for centuries was probably just an excuse to freeload meals!

Mu Ying, afraid Liu Luoluo would say more bizarre stuff adding obstacles to Luoluo’s Priest career, stuffed a chicken leg into her mouth, “Eat something, stop drinking so much!”

“No! I want to drink! I’m not drunk yet!”

Every drunk person claims they’re not drunk, but unfortunately, anti-drunk magic only works before drinking; otherwise, Mu Ying really wanted to cast it on her.

Apart from a certain drunkard, this dinner party was a huge success.

Every employee was eager to go above and beyond, to live up to their employer’s cultivation.
