Chapter 370: 364: The True Rich Man
Finn stood up directly and said with a smile, “Didn’t you know I have a nickname, the ‘Barbecue Prince’?”
“But there’s hardly anything here, what are we going to barbecue?” Kay glanced around, noting the lack of suitable materials for a barbecue.
“Heh, don’t worry about that, I’ll have some stuff dispatched here right now. Anything you want to eat, we have it. There’s a special refrigerated compartment on my plane.” Finn stood up and announced with a laugh, and reached for his phone to make a call. As the world’s largest passenger plane, the A380 was naturally equipped with a storage area to cater to all of its passengers’ needs, be it food or drink.
After being transformed into a private aircraft, the storage capacity increased even more! All the food onboard Finn’s plane was transported from another time-space dimension, which made it something spectacular, an offering that not even the wealthiest of the world would be privy to if not for his space-time transport capabilities.
Moreover, soon, the materials for Moon of West Lake can be supplied. In an alternative universe, Lewis senior had allocated an enormous multi-purpose farm spanning 20,000 square kilometers. The farm adopted free-range methods to produce food, and hosts various species of precious wild animals, which are overpopulated in the alternative universe but scarce in the modern era.
However, these wild creatures will maintain their natural growth rate in the large multi-type farm. Their meat and reproduction will be even better than in nature! This is because Finn has an energy nurturing solution, which he initially didn’t understand its functions. He later realized that it’s a miraculous tool.
For instance, items like Cloud Mist Tea and Nightingale Tea are essentially grown in natural energy nurturing fluids; this is where they derive their great abundance of energy. After special processing, they demonstrate extraordinary effects. Finn can now manually manipulate the energy nurturing fluid. Apart from being inapplicable to animals, its effect on plants is certainly impressive.
Plants grown from this are not only able to significantly reduce their growth cycles, but their quality improves exponentially. More importantly, it is entirely harmless; this groundbreaking technology was invented by the advanced alien race, Zero. This mixture is essential for cultivating crops because as human lifespan and genetic modifications increase, so does the demand for high-quality food.
This new requirement is not just about taste; the nutritional value of food also needs to keep up with the human body’s demand for beneficial effects. Simply put, for the advanced alien race, this energy mixture is as common as farm fertilizer on Earth. But for humans, it’s equivalent to a miracle drug from legends.
As for whether Zero’s human race resides in an alternative universe or another timeline, Finn didn’t care to find out. Knowing where would only lower his morale. Plants enriched with the energy nurturing solution gradually store some elements beneficial to the human body, similar to Cloud Mist Tea. Even though it’s scarce compared to the mist tea, it’s not inferior in effects to modern herbal remedies like wild ginseng.
Moreover, they are gentle in potency and extremely beneficial to the human body. Most importantly, they enhance the natural flavors of the plants. Consuming these plants would gradually evolve and adapt the consumer’s cells and genes. Herbivores that consume these plants would also gradually change; carnivores that eat the herbivores will undergo similar changes as if they’d consumed plants grown in the energy nurturing solution.
This is as if everything Finn eats is on the level of century-old wild ginseng – only difference is, you won’t get sick from over-consuming these plants unlike ginseng.
Of course, this 20,000 square kilometers of farmland is just a drop in the bucket for Proudly Nation. But everything cultivated within is solely for Finn’s use. There’s currently no plausible way to mass-produce the energy nurturing solution because it’s only obtainable through exchange with Zero, and can’t be created through the synthesis. Plus, it requires many unique components that Earth plants lack.
Fortunately, Finn had exchanged for seeds of three types of teas from Zero. Unlike the vegetables grown in the energy nurturing solution, these teas naturally have the ability to assimilate energy. The solution helps the tea plants greatly, so Lewis senior had already ordered that a small tea garden be planted in the heart of the farm area, which was roughly no more than 40 acres. The garden is planted with the three types of teas, and the first harvest is expected in about five years. But ‘five years’ in the other world is equivalent to just over ‘five months’ in the modern era.
Therefore, Finn was never short of supplies. However, he has no plans to supply Moon of West Lake with these top-tier resources anytime soon, as its current offerings are more than enough to attract the richest of the rich.
So, even if he wasn’t planning to supply these resources to Moon of West Lake, they would be more than enough for his personal use. Besides, Finn had also learned that Lewis senior seemed to be planning something even bigger. As for what that was, Finn wasn’t sure. In Lewis senior’s eyes, it was Finn’s universe, to be shaped as he pleased.
Finn made a call, and someone immediately began preparing supplies from the A380’s fridge. Naturally, Will was in charge of this task. While he was technically the liaison between Finn and Red Bank, his status within Red Bank, or rather, the Floral Wealth Group was not very high.
Despite his considerable experience with the wealthy, Finn’s approach left Will rather speechless. All the materials for the barbecue were taken from the plane. Even though much of it was frozen, you can’t deny that it was still better than fresh food! For instance, ever seen abalone steaks being barbequed? And all the other meats were simply the top of the line including the exclusive Belmare Country beef that wasn’t supposed to be available outside the country; Finn had already obtained it. It presented no secret to Lewis senior and his smart robots who knew the breed and how to grow them, especially when they had miraculous stuff like energy nurturing solution obtained from plants.
After waiting half an hour, Finn’s ingredients for the barbecue arrived. Despite the airport being some distance away, Will had used a helicopter to deliver the supplies for Finn’s barbecue. By the time the ingredients arrived, Finn and Kay had only just moved the barbecue grill, charcoal, and set up the table on the beach.
