A Beekeeper in a Magical World - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Administrator

Hua Mi retrieved two slices of bread from his storage ring, planning to spread the flower spirit honey between them, treating it like a sauce for the dog.

"Oops, that's too much..."

He only meant to pour a bit, but with too much force, a big blob accidentally spilled out.

"Ah well, more might work better, lucky dog."

He shrugged; a little extra honey wouldn't hurt.

Hua Mi held two slices of bread with honey and approached the dog. Ordinarily, when feeding a stray dog or cat, one should consider the risks, as animals long on the streets might turn wild and could lash out unexpectedly.

However, Hua Mi was far beyond an ordinary person in mental, physical, and visual abilities. A mere dog couldn't harm him.

This dog seemed quite gentle, probably recently abandoned.

Having experienced some hardships, it wasn't really hungry, but with someone offering, it decided to cooperate.

It didn't seem wary of people, just sniffed and then swallowed the treat in one go.

A few swallows, a wag of its tail, and a couple of grateful barks followed.

Adorable, despite its odd looks.

Having been a domesticated dog, it knew how to please humans well.

"Rise up, Big Yellow! Reclaim what's rightfully yours... I'll come see you again sometime, don't disappoint me!"

Amusing himself with playful words, Hua Mi mounted his bike and rode off, leaving the perplexed dog behind.

The Fallen Blossom River was becoming clearer by the day. Along the shallow banks, one could see the healthy, deep green aquatic plants flowing with the current.

Under the purification effect of the water essence, the river's ecology was rapidly improving.

Hua Mi stood by the riverbank, feeling like a nature healer, basking in the sense of curing an ailment.

Of course, the current scene was quite different from the picturesque memory of his childhood.

Nevertheless, the past's beauty was a composite result; currently, the healthy river alone felt a bit lackluster.

Extending his mental power, Hua Mi delved into the river's water, sensing a faint magical energy.

The closer he got to the water essence, the more abundant the energy became.

His mental power expanded, capturing signs of life activities—varying in strength, probably different types of fish.

Splash—

In what seemed like a response, a fish about a foot long leaped out of the water and plunged back in with a splash.

Although it was a brief appearance, Hua Mi's enhanced vision allowed him to see it clearly.

The scales were fine and neat, vibrant in color, and its tail displayed strength.

Nourished by the water essence's magic, life in the river was reviving.

Hua Mi stayed by the riverside until dawn, only returning home as the first rays of sunlight graced the land.

It was time to organize the honey for sale.

Hua Mi detailed the effects, prices, and stock of five honey varieties.

The new Windchime Flower Honey was priced at 2000 yuan.

Effects: Freshens breath, cleanses the stomach.

Stock: 400 bottles.

The other four types, 300 bottles each, maintained their original prices.

As per yesterday's announcement in the circle, they would be available for sale promptly at nine in the morning.

The circle members had been eagerly waiting.

"Finally, the sleep aid honey is back, don't you dare compete with me for it!"

"Moon Sleep Flower, Feather Spirit Flower... are these all new flower breeds cultivated by the boss? Impressive!"

"A new honey this time!"

"Freshens breath? Does that mean no need to brush teeth?"

"Why is it only three or four hundred bottles?"

"Boss, you're underestimating our purchasing power. For these special-effect honeys, the more, the merrier!"

---

Following the sales launch, the Moon Sleep Flower and Feather Spirit Flower honeys were the first to sell out, vanishing in just a few seconds.

The network lag almost cost a circle friend; in a moment of distraction, the stock became "0"!

This was within Hua Mi's expectations.

The effects of these two honeys were already widely known, and there had been a high demand for their return.

Moreover, the prices of these two honeys were quite low.

A few hundred yuan wouldn't hurt, not at all.

Hua Mi wasn't concerned about unsold products; he only waited to ship them once they were sold out.

He posted another announcement in the circle.

Basically, it mentioned temporarily closing the circle's join feature for better management.

The circle members unanimously agreed.

More people meant fiercer competition, not a conducive environment for those already benefiting.

Hua Mi had his reasons for doing this.

Currently, the circle had around a thousand members.

Yet, the quantity of honey available for sale was approximately two thousand bottles each time.

A 1:2 ratio seemed just about right.

Managing too many people could be cumbersome.

For a while, the greenhouse expansion wasn't likely due to insufficient supply of the green liquid.

The green liquid drastically reduced the flower growth cycle; if the supply dwindled, honey production efficiency would significantly drop.

The current scale had practically reached the limit of his and the Eight's abilities.

Another field would be a bit too much to handle.

Including the small plot for the Avernus Tree, the greenhouse was divided into nine areas, occupying approximately 80 acres.

Future adjustments to the fields would depend on the situation.

If new worthwhile flowers were found, some would have to make room.

Vacating fields for future planting.

After the second phase launch, Hua Mi privately messaged several circle friends, inquiring if they were willing to be administrators.

This was after extensive observation and selection.

Firstly, they needed to be absolute fans of the Bee Speakers' Cabin, evident from their daily conversations.

Secondly, they required sufficient time—evident from the duration of their "chats."

Most importantly, they needed some form of capability or leadership skills.

The main duties of an administrator involved maintaining order and ambiance within the circle, possessing the authority to remove members and review requests to join. However, both adding and removing members needed final confirmation from circle owner Hua Mi.

This job was neither too heavy nor entirely light, not easily measurable by conventional job standards.

Certainly not asking them to work for free either.

Hua Mi promised that for each sale event in the future, they'd receive one bottle of each honey variant for free.

Calculating solely by the selling price, this was quite generous.

These administrators would be the first to enter the "inner circle."

The first candidate was the girl previously healed by the Thousand Illusion Flower Honey, Mu Yuxiao.

Through private chats, he learned her real name was Cheng Yuxiao.

Ever since being healed, she became quite active in the circle, displaying remarkable combativeness when engaging with detractors. Many circle members couldn't help but marvel at her extraordinary attack capabilities.

Surprised by the sudden appointment as an administrator, she eagerly agreed.

"Don't worry, I'll manage the circle diligently! I'll keep an eye on it day and night!"

"No need for that... administrators won't be you alone. By the way, won't this affect your studies?"

Hua Mi learned she was currently a high school sophomore, a crucial stage for most people.

"Not at all." She immediately sent a voice message

, filled with confidence. "I'm quite capable of multitasking. I'll manage my time well. Besides, my dad also thinks this is a good opportunity for me to learn and grow."

As night fell, a new cycle began.

From the edge of a quiet city to the heart of bustling nightlife, under the glimmering lights, Hua Mi rode his bike once more.

Passing through the same bridge where he'd met Big Yellow, he took a glance but didn't stop.

Tonight, the bridge remained empty, leaving the mysteries of the night veiled in obscurity.

Hua Mi remained unsure if the dog would recall his words or if it understood the playfulness behind them.

But there was a mutual understanding; an unspoken promise lingered, an invisible thread linking two disparate worlds.

Big Yellow would patiently wait for the next encounter, a chance to reunite with the man who'd given him a taste of sweet honey and playful banter.

With that thought, Hua Mi pedaled onward, the night embracing his journey like an old friend, welcoming the mystery and promise of the next day.
