Xu Milu was drowning in debt. After obtaining a dimensional travel system, she embarked on an irreversible path of selling interdimensional ingredients across the universe.
She hawks pearls f...
Xu Milu held up the clump of white roots in her hand and showed it to Hao Xiaoxi:
"This plant is called 'Inverted Juicy Apple'. What's interesting about it is that while its branches are extremely sensitive to cold, its root system can only survive in sub-zero environments. Most notably, unlike apple trees on Earth, its branches grow towards the ground, while its roots emerge from the surface to absorb nutrients. Its growth rate is also astonishing; it can flower and bear fruit within thirty days. Of course, in your time conversion, it can be harvested in about twelve days, with a single tree yielding 500 jin (250 kg) of fruit."
"It can be harvested in twelve days? And the yield per unit area can reach 500 jin?"
Hao Xiaoxi took a deep breath, her eyes filled with excitement as she looked at the clump of white roots.
A fruit that prefers cold and dislikes sunlight, grows upside down on the ground, and can be harvested in twelve days?!
This is practically a seed tailor-made for the Earth right now!
Xu Milu placed it on the table, and representatives from all sides in the conference room eagerly came over to check it.
This clump of roots, resembling countless tangled threads, looked unremarkable, even somewhat messy, but in everyone's eyes at that moment, it was more valuable than gold:
Since the Age of Exploration, humankind has understood that if vitamin C is not supplemented for a long period of time, the human body may develop scurvy, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, shortness of breath, and slow wound healing, and in severe cases, even death.
Xu Milu couldn't help but shake her head.
This type of apple tree can only grow in frigid environments, and its fruit, apart from tasting slightly better, is no different from apples on Earth, so there is absolutely no need to transplant it to this plane.
"Cough cough."
She coughed, and everyone in the conference room looked up in unison, their eyes shining brightly, as if anticipating what other magical plant she might produce.
Believe it or not, Xu Milu actually does have one.
She has an almost obsessive hoarding habit. Ever since the system's storage capacity was increased, whenever she sees an interesting plant, she will collect some of its seeds first, regardless of whether they are valuable or useful. She collects them like stamps.
This resulted in her system grid being filled with a bunch of "useless" seeds.
But now, she feels that her harmless little quirk seems to have played a big role.
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Milu gently grabbed another round, dark kiwi-like fruit. To make it more obvious to others, she broke the strange fruit open with her hands, revealing the white flesh inside:
"This is a wheat seaweed ball. It only grows in seawater and reproduces extremely quickly. Its leaves are like kelp, but due to its hollow shape, this plant floats on the sea surface like duckweed. Its fruit looks like a kiwi. After ripening, the fruit is ground into powder and can be used to replace wheat flour to make pasta."
Hao Xiaoxi leaned forward, reached out and pinched a bit of the seaweed ball's flesh, putting it in her mouth. Sure enough, she could taste a very distinct wheat aroma.
"It really tastes like flour—"
She couldn't help but examine this miraculous fruit closely, and began to calculate how many Chinese people it could feed:
"I don't understand biology, but seaweed generally has a short growth period, right?"
Xu Milu nodded and offered a friendly reminder:
"Yes, its growth cycle is shorter, it can be harvested in ten days, which is four days in sixty hours. Although the yield is low, it reproduces quickly. The only drawback is that if these seaweed balls are not managed properly, they can easily become a plague. So I suggest you consider it carefully before purchasing."
This is also a variety that has been phased out. After all, there are so many excellent agronomists on Earth in this dimension who are conducting breeding research on wheat. There is really no need to transplant plants like wheat seaweed balls, which are prone to becoming rampant.
But then, one stubborn fellow interrupted again. Xu Milu looked closely and recognized him as the same American representative who had raised the question earlier:
I'm sorry, but I want to say that these things are from extraterrestrials and not native to Earth. If a biological invasion occurs and Earth's environment is affected, we'll have to spend a lot of money to clean it up, right?
Biological invasion?
The Russian representative next to him had a face that screamed, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Biological invasion? The Earth is on the verge of species extinction and you're talking about biological invasion here?
Humans are so hungry they're eating earthworms and cockroaches, this stuff is like a godsend, a windfall!
I heard you had another internal conflict last week?
As expected of you, America, the world's number one argumentative player!
"Nisunai!!"
Before Xu Milu could answer, the Japanese representative, "Nishina," roared and slammed her to the ground, knocking her unconscious with a vase. The Russian representative was responsible for closing the door, while the German and French representatives carried her out.
The Russian representative, a bearded man, calmly stated:
