About an hour later, Xu Jinhuan had finished revising the contract. She respectfully handed it to Mu Bai and said, “Xiao Mu, please take a look. Does this work for you?”
“Hmm, you’ve worked hard.”
Mu Bai took the contract, quickly skimmed through it, and after confirming there were no issues, he signed it decisively.
After the contract was signed, Xu Jinhuan’s beautiful face finally showed a trace of relief.
“Alright, the contract is done. Keep an eye on your bank notification—I just transferred five million to your account via online banking.”
Mu Bai looked up at Xu Jinhuan as he spoke.
He found that his diamond bank card was indeed very convenient—regular cards had a single transaction limit of 50,000 yuan, but the diamond card had no such restriction.
This feature made Mu Bai quite satisfied.
“Mhm, mhm, thank you, Xiao Mu! Really, I appreciate it so much. Is there anything else I can do for you?”
Having secured the investment, Xu Jinhuan was as sweet and obedient as a little girl, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.
Mu Bai, unaffected by the flattery, simply nodded and said gently, “Just help me find a few more high-potential games in the industry. If you do well, I’ll give you a bonus. Hmm, it’s getting late—I should get going.”
Mu Bai had no intention of staying any longer—he had other matters to handle.
Currently, his Mystic Space had eight available slots for planting and breeding, and he needed to acquire more valuable plants and animals for cultivation.
“Mhm! I’ll definitely work hard on this. Thank you so much for investing in me, Xiao Mu.”
Xu Jinhuan’s soft, pleasant voice was genuinely heartfelt. There was no trace of pretense, making it soothing to hear.
“No worries. If I have time, I’ll visit again. Bye.” Mu Bai smiled.
“Mhm! I’ll see you out.”
“No need, you can stay.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mu Bai left the apartment building.
As he stepped out, he instinctively glanced up and, sure enough, saw Xu Jinhuan leaning by the window, watching him.
He smiled and waved before turning to leave.
Xu Jinhuan was undeniably beautiful—but more than that, her mature charm was incredibly alluring.
Perhaps she wasn’t as stunning as Han Mengyun or Qian Yiwen, but in terms of evoking a man’s deepest instincts, she was unmatched.
With the combination of a mature woman’s allure and a little girl’s sweetness, she embodied the ideal wife for most men.
Mu Bai felt a slight attraction, but that was all—just a passing fondness.
Falling in love after only meeting once or twice? That would be too exaggerated.
With that thought, he turned and walked away, hailing a taxi to return to his Shuimo Linju apartment.
A short while later, he was back.
Mu Bai sat on the sofa, glanced at his phone, and saw that it was already past 3 PM.
Time had flown by.
At this moment, he decided to check on the Mystic Space to monitor the growth of his cultivated plants and animals.
Perhaps, he could also see if there was anything worth selling.
With that thought, he activated his Mystic Space ability and disappeared from the living room.
Since upgrading to Level 4, the environment within the Mystic Space had become warmer and brighter.
More importantly, the time flow had accelerated to 80 times that of the real world.
Currently, all cultivated plants and animals—except for the Agarwood Kyara tree—had already undergone a second phase of cultivation for nearly half a month.
Among them, Tiger Tail Grass and Purple Gold Peony had improved the fastest, reaching A+ (Ultra Rare) grade within five to six days.
However, after reaching A+ grade, their growth seemed to have hit a plateau.
Even after another week, their quality did not improve at all.
This made Mu Bai think—it was time to sell them.
After all, while these two plants were valuable, they were still inferior to rarer species like the Tang Dynasty Phoenix Feather.
More importantly, further cultivation might not push them past their current level.
Rather than wasting time, it was better to sell them.
With this decision in mind, Mu Bai examined the rest of his plants and animals.
His Agarwood Kyara tree was still at S-grade—unchanged.
This was the first S-grade species he had cultivated, and he wasn’t sure if it had reached the legendary “Supreme Grade” classification.
After all, Supreme Grade plants and animals were incredibly rare in the real world, and their evaluation criteria remained unclear.
Still, Mu Bai was confident that an S-grade plant in his Mystic Space would be considered near-Supreme in reality.
Next, he checked the Ghost Orchid—still A++, but with an intriguing transformation.
The orchid, glowing eerily in the Mystic Space, had become more lifelike, almost ghostly.
When he stared at it, it almost felt like it was staring back.
As for the Tang Dynasty Phoenix Feather and Tianyi Lotus, both had also advanced to A++ grade.
Meanwhile, his Platinum Dragon Fish and Red Gold Dragon Fish had reached A+ grade.
Clearly, half a month of second-phase cultivation had significantly improved many species.
Seeing this rapid progress, Mu Bai made up his mind—it was time to buy more rare plants and animals.
He planned to visit the Southern Marketplace Forum again to acquire new specimens for cultivation.
As for Tiger Tail Grass and Purple Gold Peony, he decided to auction them off on the forum instead of selling them through his online store.
He was curious about how netizens would react to Mystic Space-enhanced Ultra Rare plants.
With this thought, he picked up his phone and took several pictures of the Tiger Tail Grass and Purple Gold Peony.
After capturing enough images, he mentally exited the Mystic Space, reappearing in his living room.
