Chapter 189 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick (Add 3)

A thousand first-level crystal cores is actually a very easy task; the only difficult part is probably the time involved.

It's too difficult to make a round trip within five days.

The flying ability users at the Star Base were in a dilemma. They wanted to take on the mission, but were afraid they wouldn't be able to complete it.

After learning the news, Yu Linjiang made satellite phone calls to the G City base and the Southern Province base. He originally just wanted to talk about durians, but somehow the conversation turned to the person who posted the request for durians, and all three parties were shocked.

Jiang Huaizhi and Pan Shaogang: "It's Her Majesty the Queen!"

Yu Linjiang: "Your Majesty?"

The Star Base was busy fighting natural disasters and had no time to spare, so it didn't know much about the gossip from the neighboring province's base.

"Is there a talking pig with her?"

"yes."

"That's it!"

Other things can be imitated, but how can you imitate a talking pig?

Yu Linjiang then learned from the base chiefs of the two provinces about Ling Ran's strength, and also learned that the Queen had bestowed many supplies upon the Southern Province base and the G City base.

Jiang Huaizhi and Pan Shaogang both said, "Brother, make the most of it. Her Majesty the Queen is very generous."

Yu Linjiang: "!!!"

I'm numb.

What reward is it?

Their base has offended everyone.

That's a huge mistake!

If he had known Her Majesty the Queen was so powerful, he should have broken ties with Fang Zhixing back then and led his men to fight Fang Zhixing to the death. That way, he might have won Her Majesty the Queen's favor.

But now... it's probably impossible.

Yu Linjiang was in great distress.

It is certainly disheartening to not receive a reward oneself, but it is even more painful to hear that others have received one.

Especially the two people who received the reward, who were still showing off in front of him.

Is it too late to remedy the situation now?

In any case, the durian issue was resolved. The base chief in G City took the task upon himself, saying that he was closer to Furong Province and could make it in time.

However, the head of the South Province base also stated that regardless of whether there was enough time, he would send someone to deliver durians and durian trees to Her Majesty the Queen, as this was his way of showing his goodwill and attitude.

Seeing that both base commanders valued Ling Ran so much, Yu Linjiang secretly elevated her status, making her second only to his own life.

Because of the durian, Ling Ran and his group will stay at the Star Base for at least five days. Yu Linjiang felt that he should make a good impression during this time.

The next day, he went to invite Ling Ran, saying that the base planned to host a banquet for her. Before he could finish speaking, he saw a table full of delicious-looking dishes, and everyone was holding a large iron basin of rice, looking at him in confusion.

Yu Linjiang: "..."

"Manager Yu, what's up?" Pei Xiu took a bite of rice, then added a piece of meat to it, saying, "It smells delicious."

Yu Linjiang: "..."

He no longer had the face to mention the banquet.

He couldn't even prepare this one meal.

He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I wanted to ask Your Majesty if you're comfortable living here. If there's anything you're not used to, please let me know, and I'll do my best to accommodate you."

"Oh, so you know my sister is a queen and you've come to curry favor with her?" Pei Xiu still had no tact.

Yu Linjiang: "..."

How embarrassing.

Su Yimo, who was sitting one seat away from Ling Ran, glared at him: "You brat, why are you saying such blunt truths? You have no emotional intelligence at all."

Yu Linjiang: "..."

This is even more awkward.

Was this intentional or accidental?

If it was an accident, all he could say was, "The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix."

After a few more awkward words, Yu Linjiang slunk away.

The banquet was thus cancelled.
