Jason Wang's guess was correct.
Tom Lin actually went to ask the Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys for help with his chores.
As Tom Lin stepped out of the yard, he spotted the King of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys, who had just finished eating an apple and was preparing to leave.
"Little Goldie, hold on a moment. I need your help," Tom Lin called out to the monkey king.
"Chi?" The monkey king tilted its head, looking utterly confused.
Was it being addressed as "Little Goldie"?
"Yeah," Tom Lin replied with a smile, approaching and crouching in front of the monkey king. As he stroked its fur, he continued, "My place hasn't been lived in for a while, so there's a lot of weeds. Can you help me clear them out?"
"Don't worry. I'll pay you," Tom Lin assured.
With that, he took out some remaining apples from his backpack and neatly placed them in front of the monkey king.
"These apples are all yours if you help me," he said, holding up a total of five apples.
...
"What am I seeing? Tom actually plans to get monkeys to help with chores?"
"Tom, even if you're lazy and don't want to work, you shouldn't come up with such a ridiculous idea."
"Getting national treasure Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys to help you work, Tom, you're really 'criminally' ingenious!"
"Haha, has Tom been working so hard that he's lost his mind, thinking of getting monkeys to help him?"
"Not tearing down the house is already good enough."
Boiled Chicken Overlord said, "If monkeys can obey, I'll read my name backwards!"
...
Tom Lin hadn't turned off his live stream.
So, the audience saw everything that happened in the yard.
The chat was filled with laughter as everyone watched the spectacle.
Jason Wang also came out of the house and saw Tom Lin seriously asking the King of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys for help.
He stood aside, watching with a strange expression.
He couldn't help but think that Tom Lin, fresh out of school, was indeed naive.
Wild Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys would never obey human commands so easily.
And with just five apples, how could he expect to get an entire troop to work for him?
It was impossible.
Even exploiting child labor wasn't this ruthless.
But the King of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys didn't think so.
Its shiny black eyes stared at the tempting apples on the ground, swallowing hard.
"Chi Chi...? Chi Chi...!"
(Really? If we work, we'll get so many delicious fruits?!)
The King of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys looked expectant and excited.
They could eat delicious fruits again!
And the cost was just pulling weeds!
"Of course it's true. I won't lie to you," Tom Lin smiled and nodded.
Upon hearing the confirmation, the King of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys couldn't sit still anymore.
It quickly dashed out of the yard with its agile movements, soon bringing back the troop that was lingering outside.
The monkeys followed the king, crouching and sitting in front of Tom Lin, excitedly watching him.
Looking at the well-behaved Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys sitting in rows, a smile appeared on Tom Lin's lips.
"I told your leader that if you help me clear the weeds in the yard, I'll give you five apples," Tom Lin repeated what he had told the monkey king.
He also demonstrated how to clear weeds in front of the troop.
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys were very smart; after watching Tom Lin pull weeds once, they understood what he wanted them to do.
After pulling weeds, they would get delicious fruits to eat!
They all became excited.
"Chi Chi..!"
"Chi Chi...!"
(Pull weeds, eat fruits!)
(Pull weeds, eat fruits!)
...
The monkey king didn't even need to urge them.
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys were all eager to start clearing the weeds that had grown into the house.
The busy golden figures amazed the viewers in front of the live stream.
"?"
"?"
Boiled Chicken Overlord said, "Tom, I admit I spoke loudly just now. Just pretend I didn't say anything..."
"Did the Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys really understand Tom's meaning?"
"Understanding is one thing, but actually starting to work is another!"
"Wow, Tom is amazing! (in a cracking voice)"
"I've already bought apples. Where can I find such a cheap monkey workforce?"
"No, Tom, getting Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys to work is quite questionable and very 'criminally' ingenious."
"Tom, I'm going to report you for illegally employing monkey workers!"
...
The chat was flooded with messages every few seconds, like a white torrent.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
The number of online viewers increased visibly, soaring from a few hundred to over a thousand.
And the number continued to grow.
All were attracted by this rare sight.
In the yard, Tom Lin smiled seeing that the Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys understood his meaning and were willing to help.
With these little monkeys' help, he should be able to clean up the house before dinner.
Moreover, he didn't have to worry about whether employing the monkeys violated the law.
After all, he wasn't coercing them to work but offering a trade.
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys were also actively volunteering to help.
"Lin... Tom Lin, how did you manage to do this?" Jason Wang stood there, stunned by the monkeys helping with the chores, utterly confused.
He couldn't figure out how Tom Lin had done it.
Tom Lin chuckled and didn't elaborate much, casually saying, "Maybe these Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys are smarter and more human-like."
"I see... But thanks to them, you should be able to clean up your house earlier tonight," Jason Wang nodded, not thinking too much about it.
Since there were monkeys to help, he could go back earlier.
"Tom Lin, I'm going back now. If you have any problems, you can call me anytime," Jason Wang said, leaving after giving Tom Lin his phone number.
As he left, Jason Wang glanced back at the still-excited and busy Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys in the yard.
He thought about the troop of long-tailed monkeys near his management area.
Should he try Tom Lin's method?
Buy a bag of fruits and get the monkeys to help him with some chores?
Ugh.
Wouldn't those monkeys throw fruits at his head?
Shaking his head, Jason Wang abandoned the idea.
This trick could probably only be pulled off by Tom Lin.
