Crayon Shin-chan: As someone who's traveled through time, all I want is a huge reward!

Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "No need. I trust Xiao Ai's arrangements. Besides, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't go over."

Upon hearing this, Blackie nodded and said nothing more.

As soon as the car entered Kasukabe city, Lin Yu saw a group of children playing around in front of a convenience store on the roadside, holding up stickers of Action Kamen.

He suddenly remembered how Shinnosuke Nohara had been running around the house that morning, also carrying an Action Kamen toy.

As Lin Yu stepped into the Western world through the projector, yellow sand carrying hot wind rushed towards him. In the distance, wooden houses stood crookedly on the earthen slope, and crows on the telephone poles cawed, their wings kicking up dust that landed on the rusty tin roofs.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight. His vision was filled with yellowish-brown wasteland, with only the occasional cactus as the only embellishment in this monotonous landscape.

Lin Yu visited the lab and met with Wanma and Tongchuan to learn about the robot's progress.

"How's the robotics research going?"

Wanma led Lin Yu to a room next door, which was filled with robots that Wanma and Tokikawa had researched.

"It's still in the testing phase. If there are no problems, we'll start mass production." Lin Yu looked at the robot in front of him, feeling extremely excited, as if he could already see his "bright" future.

After that, I asked Okegawa and the others if there were any suitable places nearby to raise white snakes.

Lin Yu hadn't waited long when he heard a strong voice call his name, "Mr. Lin Yu! Mr. Lin Yu!" And who else could it be but Tong Chuan from before?

Tong Chuan poked his head out of an old pickup truck. He was wearing brown work pants with mud splattered on the cuffs. "When I was repairing robots here before, I found an abandoned ranch with ready-made sheds. We can just modify them a little and it'll be ready to use." "Okay." Lin Yu nodded, bent down, and sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck. The seat was covered with a piece of worn-out denim. The truck made a "putt-putt" sound when it started, like an old ox panting.

The wind along the way carried sand and gravel, which rustled against the car window. Lin Yu looked at the barren land receding outside the window and suddenly thought of the grasslands in the Kingdom of Bribri, except that the grass there was green, while here it was a desolate wasteland.

“That ranch used to be a cattle farm, but the owner left and it became vacant,” Tongchuan explained as he drove. “There are electrical lines inside, so we can use robots to connect to the power supply and control the temperature and humidity in the sheds—what kind of environment does the White Snake you mentioned need?”

"The temperature should be around 25 degrees Celsius and the humidity around 60%. It shouldn't be too dry or waterlogged," Lin Yu recalled the information he had researched earlier. "It also needs to have a clean water source, and it would be best to simulate their original living environment, such as laying down some clean sand and moss."

Tongchuan nodded and took out a tablet computer from his pocket, displaying a floor plan of the ranch: "There are three sheds inside. We can use the middle one, which is big enough. There's also a well next to it, so water shouldn't be a problem. As for the robots, I've assigned three to build them and two to monitor the environment, which should be enough."

After a bumpy ride of more than half an hour, the pickup truck finally stopped in front of a pasture surrounded by a wooden fence. The wooden planks on the fence were blackened, and some corners were missing. Dry vines were wrapped around them.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, there were indeed three connected sheds inside. The middle shed was the largest, and although the roof let in some light, the frame was quite sturdy.

"Let the robot clean up the clutter inside first."

Okegawa pressed a button on the tablet, and soon a "buzzing" mechanical sound came from behind the distant sand dunes as three silver robots approached on tracks.

Their arms are as flexible as human hands, grabbing scrap wood and hay from the ground and throwing them precisely into the trailer next to them. "These robots are leftovers from the previous railway construction. They are strong and work quickly, and they can clean up the shed today."

Lin Yu walked into the shed, his feet stepping on the dry soil, raising a layer of fine dust.

He looked up at the roof and took out a measuring tape from his spatial ring to measure the height and width of the shed. "We need to install ventilation openings on both sides of the shed and cover the top with a shade cloth to avoid direct sunlight. For the ground, first lay a waterproof membrane and then a 10-centimeter-thick layer of sand. Leave an area next to it for moss and water basins."

Tongchuan leaned over to look at the measurement data and nodded, saying, "No problem. I have the material for the ventilation vents in my car. The robot can pick up the sunshade from the store in town. By the way, should we install a temperature and humidity sensor? It can display the data in real time and make adjustments easier."

"Of course," Lin Yu said with a smile. "Thank you for your help, Tong Chuan. I couldn't have handled all this by myself without your help."

"Don't mention it," Tongchuan patted his shoulder. "I haven't thanked you for what happened before. Besides, raising a white snake sounds interesting. I can come and see for myself sometime."

While the robot was cleaning the shed, Lin Yu and Tong Chuan went to the well next door to fetch water.

The well rope was a thick hemp rope. Old Tongchuan lowered it with force and with a "clang," the bucket landed in the water. When he pulled it up, it was full of clear well water, which was also a little cool.

"This well water is clean; it's fine to use it for the white snake to drink or for mopping the floor." Tongchuan poured the water into the nearby reservoir. "We'll have them clean the reservoir later so we can store water."

By noon, the shed had been almost completely cleaned up.

The robots began installing the ventilation vents, their arms precisely securing metal plates to both sides of the shed, tightening the screws quickly and efficiently. Lin Yu, meanwhile, laid a waterproof membrane on the ground, securing the edges with stones to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Tong Chuan sat on a wooden stool by the door, munching on a sandwich and watching them work, occasionally handing them a bottle of water.

"By the way, Lin Yu," Tong Chuan swallowed the sandwich in his mouth and continued, "What are you going to do with these white snakes?" Lin Yu smiled and said, "I recently collaborated with someone on a project to use white snakes to make medicinal wine. The medicinal wine made from white snakes is not only amber in color and smooth in taste, but it can also dispel cold and strengthen the body. However, I only had a few hundred white snakes to begin with, so the raw materials were obviously insufficient, and I thought of breeding them."

After listening to Lin Yu's words, Tong Chuan clearly developed a strong interest in the white snake, so he asked Lin Yu, "Is this white snake really as good as you say?"

“Yes,” Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Many of the white snakes have already been mass-produced, and I only have a little over a hundred left now.”

Tongchuan nodded thoughtfully, then, unable to resist the temptation of the white snake wine, he said to Lin Yu, "By the way, Brother Lin, I'll take care of these white snakes for you. Once your white snake wine is produced, could I have a taste?"

Then Okegawa added, "By the way, I bet Wanma would love to try this white snake wine too!"

Lin Yu thought Tong Chuan was going to say something important, but it turned out that the other party simply wanted his white snake. He smiled and then said, "Of course!"

At this moment, Tongchuan looked around and suddenly slapped his forehead, saying, "Right, should we put up a fence around the shed to prevent wild animals from getting in? Although there aren't many large wild animals in the Westworld, there are still foxes and wild dogs. We don't want to hurt the white snake."

Seeing how concerned Tokikawa was, Lin Yu quickly nodded, "Good idea. If there are really wild beasts or something, those white snakes will be in trouble."

Lin Yu picked up the bottled water from the ground, took a sip, and said, "Then I'd appreciate it if you could install another fence around it. Try to make sure the fence is in good condition so we don't have to repair it so often."

At 3 p.m., the basic equipment of the shed was finally installed. The vents turned and blew out a gentle breeze. The sunshade cloth covering the roof made the shed much cooler.

The ground was covered with smooth sand, and the basin next to it was filled with well water. Moss also covered the corner, its lush green color exuding a sense of vitality.

Lin Yu took out several glass jars from his spatial ring. The jars contained the remaining white snakes. He carefully opened the jars and put the white snakes into the shed.

Many white snakes wriggled uncomfortably when they first touched the sand, then crawled along the sand towards the moss area, burrowing under the moss, with only their small heads sticking out, warily looking around.

After Lin Yu squatted down and saw that the white snakes did not show any obvious rejection reaction, he felt relieved.

Tongchuan leaned over to take a look and said jokingly, "They're quite shy, but they'll get used to it. I've adjusted the temperature and humidity sensors. They'll automatically heat up when the temperature is below 25 degrees Celsius and open the vents when it's above 60%. I guarantee there won't be any problems."

Lin Yu stood up, looked at the white snake in the shed, and breathed a sigh of relief. The first step in raising the white snake was finally completed.

He looked up at the sky and then said to Okegawa, "Then I'll go back to Kasukabe first. I'll come back later to deliver some things that the White Serpent needs. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on things here."

"Don't worry," Tongchuan waved to Lin Yu. "I'll be staying in this cabin tonight. I can come over and handle anything that comes up."

After thanking the old man, Lin Yu got into the pickup truck and drove towards the projector.

When Lin Yu returned to Kasukabe, it was already dark.

As soon as he returned, Xiaochun's eyes lit up instantly. She walked towards him in a maid outfit and said, "I've prepared your bathwater. You can eat after you're done."

Lin Yu nodded and walked towards the restroom.

After Lin Yu finished showering, he walked into the living room and saw Xiao Xin lying on the floor, drawing something on a piece of paper with a pen in his hand. Xiao Kui, sitting in the stroller next to him, tried to reach for his pen, but Xiao Xin gently slapped her away: "Xiao Kui, stop messing around, I'm helping A Yu draw the design of the place where he raises white snakes!"

Lin Yu walked over, bent down, and looked at the crooked shed on the paper. Inside, there were several white snakes, and next to it was a little figure holding an Action Kamen toy, which was probably himself.

"You drew it very well!" Lin Yu patted Xiao Xin's head. "I've already set up the breeding ground for the White Snake, but thank you anyway!"

Chapter 267 Sample of White Snake Wine

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxin immediately put down his pen and pounced on Lin Yu's lap, asking curiously, "Yu, have the white snakes adapted to their new environment? Have they eaten anything?"

Lin Yu reached out and patted Xiao Xin's head, saying, "It's still getting used to it. I'm planning to bring some meat to feed it later." This was a response to Lin Yu's promise to bring meat to the Westworld to feed the white snakes.

Shin-chan's eyes lit up instantly: "I want to go too! I want to feed the white snakes! And take pictures with them!" Just then, Misae came out of the kitchen with a glass of juice and reminded him to be careful: "When you go, you have to listen carefully to Lin Yu, okay?"

Upon hearing Misae's words, Shin-chan immediately picked up his favorite Action Kamen and promised, "I promise I'll listen to Yu, I promise with my favorite Action Kamen!"

Lin Yu smiled and ruffled his hair: "How about I take you when I'm not busy?"

Xiao Xin nodded vigorously: "Okay! Then don't forget to take me with you, A Yu!"

Guangzhi came out of the room with anticipation for the White Snake Wine in his eyes: "Lin Yu, when can we drink the White Snake Wine? I can't wait."

"Soon," Lin Yu said. "The first batch of White Snake Wine will be produced next month, and then we can drink it together."

Guangzhi immediately smiled. He had been thinking about the White Snake Wine ever since he was in the Kingdom of Bribri! Now that he could drink it in just one month, he was incredibly excited.

At dinner, Shin-chan asked the food tablecloth for some fried chicken nuggets. He took a spoon and ate the nuggets one after another, muttering, "These fried chicken nuggets are so delicious! When I go to feed the White Snake, I'll bring some for him to try!"

Misae glared at him: "White snakes don't eat fried chicken! They eat raw meat! Don't think nonsense, kid!"

Lin Yu, meanwhile, ate his eel rice in front of him, smiled, and said nothing.

Lin Yu's phone rang right after he finished eating; it was Xiao Ai calling.

"Mr. Lin Yu, the packaging for the White Snake Wine has been fully produced and will be delivered to the factory tomorrow. If you have time, you can go to the factory tomorrow afternoon to confirm."

"No problem," Lin Yu agreed, thinking he'd have plenty of time after work tomorrow. "Can I go after I get off work tomorrow afternoon?"

"Great! Now we can go together!"

Xiao Ai added, "By the way, the people in the lab said that the health benefits of the white snake wine are higher than expected. We can emphasize that in our advertising to attract more customers."

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements." Lin Yu hung up the phone, feeling very happy that the production of White Snake Wine was finally getting on track.

The next morning, Lin Yu finished breakfast and prepared to go to kindergarten. He hadn't been there for so long and wondered if anything interesting had happened there.

Lin Yu drove the Batmobile happily to the kindergarten gate. From afar, Lin Yu saw Takakura Bunta standing at the gate, seeing off the cars that went to pick up the children.

When he saw Lin Yu arrive, he immediately asked with concern, "Lin Yu, were you injured in the Kingdom of Bribri?" Seeing Takakura Bunta's concerned expression, Lin Yu scratched his head shyly and said, "I'm fine, I wasn't injured much, I'm perfectly alright."

Seeing that Lin Yu really didn't want to get hurt, Takakura Bunta was relieved. "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

The children, who hadn't had a physical education class in a long time, were very excited to see Lin Yu, which made the class go very smoothly.

As soon as class ended, Matsuzaka Ume came to the office and found Lin Yu. She had dressed up specially because she knew Lin Yu would be working at the kindergarten today.

All of this was to secure a date with Lin Yu this weekend. Seeing Lin Yu sitting alone in the office, she immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

She walked up to Lin Yu in her high heels and sat in his lap, saying, "Yu, you only accompanied me for one day on our last date before rushing off. Can't you let me go on a date with you this time to make it up to me?"

Matsuzaka Ume's words suddenly reminded Lin Yu of the last time he learned that the Nohara family was going to the Kingdom of Bribri, and how he had briefly explained the situation to Matsuzaka Ume before hurriedly leaving.

Now, Matsuzaka Ume is looking at Lin Yu with a very aggrieved look, as if she is saying that if he doesn't grant her small request, she will immediately burst into tears in front of him.

Matsuzaka Ume's tactic was very effective; almost the instant she made that expression, Lin Yu immediately agreed to go on a date with her this week.

Even when it came to lunch, Lin Yu would eat in their classroom.

After lunch, it was lunch break time. Soon after lunch break, school was over. After cleaning up, Lin Yu took Ai Suotome and rode his Batmobile to the factory.
