"Sea mustard shouting at the mountains, where are your recommendation votes?"

"Wake up sleepyheads! Let's play record-keeping"

On their way from Jihua City to Liuhe County, Wang Zhuo summoned Qi Fei and Guan Yingying into the RV's first-floor living room. He handed each of them a tablet.

Taoyuan Copper Mine had shattered countless world records, Asian records, and national records. To accurately compile these achievements required painstaking effort. Early in the year, Wang Zhuo used his x-ray vision for a rough survey, estimating 256 cubic meters of reserves equivalent to 1,280,000 tons of raw ore. But this figure was overly generalized - his x-ray vision had limited depth perception, and most major open-pit copper mines worldwide are cone-shaped, meaning significant portions might still be undiscovered.

Later professional surveys exceeded his initial estimates. However due to national interests, official figures differed drastically from actual findings, only surpassing the two major Chilean-American open pits by minimal margins. Nevertheless, Taoyuan Mine became the largest open-pit copper mine in the world period - not just "one of the largest."

The mine's debut brought countless accolades: it was also the richest copper deposit globally and contained the highest platinum concentration in any copper-platinum co-mineralization site. Detailed statistics would reveal infinite first-place rankings, already disrupting current global mineral resource patterns.

Not exaggerating at all - its discovery had even shaken the U.S. President.

Wang Zhuo assigned daytime administrative tasks to keep everyone busy. At night Guan Yingying monopolized Qi Fei's attention through deliberate conversations, denying Wang and Qi any private moments over these two days.

Qi Fei found this suspiciously unusual behavior puzzling - how could the reckless flirt suddenly disinterest himself in creating privacy? This was unprecedented for a man who'd previously seized every five-minute window to satisfy his impulses. She even doubted if Wang had an affair with Guan, but three people had spent entire hours together without opportunities.

Taking advantage of Guan's bathroom break, Qi Fei whispered to Wang: "What changed you?"

"Ack!" Wang slapped his thigh dramatically. "I forgot about this completely! Good thing you reminded me."

Leaning beside her, he suddenly covered her ample bosom with his hand.

"Smack!"

Qi Fei slapped away his wandering fingers, scolding, "Are you crazy? Yingying will be back any second!"

"She's not ignorant of our little secret," Wang smirked, sliding his hand beneath her skirt.

"Ahh!" Qi Fei gasped as his fingers disappeared inside her silk underwear.

The door creaked open just then - Guan Yingying entered with dripping hands, catching their intimate pose and bursting into laughter.

Qi Fei's face flushed crimson as she yanked Wang's arm away and shoved him aside.

Guan mockingly scolded: "No hanky-panky during daytime hours!"

Wang grinned slyly before rising. "I'll take a shower then nap."

After Wang left, Qi Fei sheepishly chuckled to Guan: "This guy gets bolder every day."

Distraction had already erased her suspicions about his recent odd behavior.

"Why are you so easy on him?" Guan giggled. "If I'd been delayed another minute, who knows what would've happened?"

Qi Fei considered - maybe this was indeed the future? She resolved to have a talk with Wang soon before things spiraled further out of control...

Unbeknownst to them, Wang hadn't gone to shower but had sneaked upstairs to apply ointment. Their little flirtation had reopened his wound, requiring painful suppression each time he moved. Stepping into the bathroom, he held up his pants' front seam for cover as he ascended.

The following day after surgery, Wang researched recovery protocols online. He realized his injury mirrored post-circumcision care - both required avoiding stimulation. Since so many people underwent this procedure, hospitals must have solutions.

Indeed, he learned: avoid female contact during healing phases, refrain from viewing erotic content, wear loose underwear... Topical treatments existed in the RV's medical kit but oral medications were another matter. Gatifloxacin for infection prevention and estrogen to suppress erections - neither appealed to him.

Gatifloxacin was manageable given his confidence in immunity, but estrogen made him cringe at online gender transition tutorials mentioning hormone therapy as a prerequisite for female characteristics. Long-term use could permanently feminize men and increase breast cancer risks.

"This drug is terrifying," he decided. Better endure discomfort than swallow such poisons.

Fortunately Guan's gullibility helped cover his condition - otherwise the bandages would've surely been exposed.

After medication, he showered using a disposable shower cap instead of condoms since he preferred external contraception methods and hadn't prepared any...

That night their arrival at Liuhe County brought official meetings. Taking advantage of the banquet atmosphere, Wang feigned drinking heavily before retiring early to the hotel.

The nearest deepwater port to Taoyuan Mine was Qinzhou Port in Guangxi, connected by a railway line to Kunming which only spanned 100+ kilometers from Liuhe County.

This short road segment was now under full construction. Once completed, ore transportation would finally become feasible.

Between Liuhe and Taoyuan Village, initial explorations had already secured partial funding - municipal subsidies, local contributions, and Dynasty's sponsorship. Subsequent Dynasty investments accelerated construction to the current state of operational readiness.

"Who could imagine this ancient road, once impassable even for carts, now open within just half a year?"

Though merely an oil-slicked dirt road, its completion was remarkable. As their RV rumbled along the single-lane path, Wang marveled at progress.

Guan's eyes sparkled with visions of development: "Watch - in years this will transform completely."

Wang chuckled darkly: "Taoyuan Village will soon rot under greed and no longer remain a paradise."

Guan blinked her bright eyes: "Better than lack of medicine. Think positively."

"Eventually, yes," Qi Fei nodded. "Better Dynasty manages it than those toxic lead or dust-related industries."

"Sis gives me too much credit," Wang bowed mockingly.

Mischievously Guan added: "If sis were money-obsessed, you'd never get to develop it."

"Develop your head!" Qi Fei playfully twisted her arm.

"Wise choice for joint development," Wang leered at both women.

The mention immediately reminded Qi Fei of Guan's previous suggestions. The lifestyle was increasingly diverging from normalcy...

For a traditional woman yearning monogamy, encountering someone like Wang meant inevitable paradigm shifts. From accepting him she'd always suspected his flirtatious nature would escalate - and with Guan already nudging things along, how could she not anticipate eventual tryst between them?

Though technically true about joint development, Wang's double entendre made Qi Fei blush as visions of triadic intimacy flooded her mind.

The thought unsettled the fundamentally conservative woman. Imagining herself serving Wang while Guan watched amusedly was unbearable...

"Worried about something?" Wang waved his hand in front of her face.

"Erm - ah!" Qi Fei stammered, "I said joint development is good."

Wang's laughter erupted along with Guan's delighted giggles. Realizing her slip, Qi feigned anger: "You two are doing it intentionally! I'll sleep in the spare room tonight to give you space!"

"Gee sis, what nonsense!" Guan pretended ignorance.

"What did happen?" Wang scratched his head feigning confusion.

No answers forthcoming - Qi fei huffed and stormed out. "I'm cooking dinner."

"Me too," Guan sprang up, winking at Wang before following her.

As both women's figures vanished, Wang touched his temporarily nonfunctional organ and vowed to achieve his land-based poker dream during this Taoyuan expedition.
