Chapter 538 has few simple ones.

Luo Zhenguo walked at the front, followed by Luo Han, Zhu Chen, and several other people he didn't recognize, all wearing camouflage uniforms.

He also saw Ling Ran and smiled kindly: "It seems that this old man has arrived early and disturbed your breakfast, sir."

After Ling Ran agreed to cooperate with the Beijing base yesterday, Luo Zhenguo went back, leaving Luo Han behind.

I'm here today to make a deal, and also to pick up Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian and take them to the Beijing base to discuss matters.

Although the Beijing base doesn't need the evolution fluid much now, it will need it in the future. Since we have our own way of producing the evolution fluid, we won't need to cooperate with Ling Ran anymore.

After all, Ling Ran would leave sooner or later, which is why Zhou Chong was never worried about Ling Ran taking away his business.

An adult won't stay in one place for long. Doing business with an adult is a matter of fate, but doing business with him is the only stable option.

Like the base that did business with the adults before, didn't they come back to cooperate with him again later?

"It's okay, I've just finished eating."

Ling Ran put down her cup, stood up, and said, "Come in and let's talk."

Luo Zhenguo nodded, entered the courtyard, and his gaze inadvertently swept across the dining table before he felt a shiver run down his spine.

This little girl is amazing.

He recalled the incomplete intelligence presented by the management during yesterday's base meeting, and his appreciation for Ling Ran had turned into awe and respect.

After all, even the management felt that God had still left a glimmer of hope for the world and for humanity.

Without a doubt, Ling Ran is the savior.

How could he not respect or even be reverent towards such a person?

Once inside the villa, Ling Ran sat on a soft single sofa. Wu Tong had already finished breakfast and was lying down at Ling Ran's feet.

The spot next to the adults is always the most eye-catching, and also the best-lit and coolest place.

Wu Tong loves being around adults.

It wasn't for the sake of vying for favor.

snort.

Luo Zhenguo sat opposite Ling Ran and saw the pig at her feet. He no longer felt the same way he did yesterday, thinking that she had a strange hobby. Everyone else kept cats and dogs, but she kept pigs.

Having read the information, Luo Zhenguo knew very well that this pig not only understood human nature and could speak, but was also the first pig in the country, and possibly even the world, to possess supernatural abilities.

To be honest, if this pig hadn't been with Ling Ran, it would have been captured and experimented on if it had any other owner.

There are really not many simple people in this team.

While thinking to himself, Luo Zhenguo smiled and said, "Lord Ling, I brought the crystal cores with me today. There are a total of three million crystal cores, including 500,000 level one, 1.5 million level two, and 500,000 level three."

A man in camouflage stepped out, waved his hand, and three million crystal cores instantly filled the open space.

There were piles of crystal nuclei of three different colors, which looked sparkling like the finest gemstones, and were extremely beautiful.

Ling Ran glanced at them, then put all the crystal cores into her spatial storage and said to Luo Zhenguo, "Come and pick them up tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sir."

Luo Zhenguo smiled and said, "I wonder how long you will stay at the provincial capital base? Would you like to come and visit our Beijing base? We would also like to continue our cooperation with you on the crystal core business."

The deposits at the Beijing base are far more than just three million.

The reason they initially put out three million was merely a test.

"I'll be visiting the provincial capital base in a couple of days, and after that I'll probably go to Beijing, since I've never been there before."

"Then you are welcome to visit the Beijing base anytime. I will have Luo Han accompany you personally. He grew up in Beijing and knows all the attractions in the city like the back of his hand."

Luo Han: "???"

How could he know it all so well?

They were sent to the military camp for training when they were around ten years old, so they didn't have time to play.

However, for the sake of the mission, he did have a good understanding of the situation in various districts of the capital.

Ling Ran had a good impression of Luo Han, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Luo Han."

"No trouble at all," Luo Han replied hastily.

Then Luo Zhenguo started another conversation, chatting casually with Ling Ran. What seemed like an insignificant topic was actually Luo Zhenguo trying to find out more about Ling Ran.

The old man has high emotional intelligence and knows how to conduct himself appropriately. Even if people feel that he is probing their secrets, it is difficult for them to feel any ill will towards him.

After all, if you really don't want to talk about it, he won't press you. It's as if he just asked casually. If you don't want to talk about it, he will respect your privacy.

Ling Ran didn't feel there was anything wrong with answering, so she casually picked and chose her answers to Luo Zhenguo's questions.

After chatting for more than half an hour, she became a little impatient.

It wasn't because Luo Zhenguo had offended her, but because she wanted to watch TV. She had been very patient with Luo Zhenguo after talking for so long.

"Old Luo, if there's nothing else, I'm going to binge-watch some shows."

Ling Ran took out her tablet and started swiping across it.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zhenguo slapped his head as if he had just realized something: "Look at this old man, he can't stop chatting with young people. He's delaying the adults' business. Well then, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to collect the crystal core tomorrow."

"Um."

Luo Zhenguo got up to leave, and Ling Ran didn't seem inclined to see him off. Pei Yi accepted the task and walked to Luo Zhenguo's side, saying, "This way, Mr. Luo."

Ling Ran placed the tablet on the stand and started watching the variety show by herself.

Wu Tong, who had been sleeping, twitched his ears and immediately opened his pig eyes. After glancing above, he immediately sat up and then watched the tablet with Ling Ran.

The adult has finally started watching the variety show again! This show is so funny! It's been wanting to keep watching, but the adult hasn't been able to watch it for the past two days, and it's been driving the pig crazy.

I had only been watching for less than ten minutes when Zhen Zhifan arrived.

I don't know if it's just everyone's perception, but Zhen Zhifan's dark circles seem quite heavy. He looks both tired and energetic, and this state seems familiar.

Zhen Zhifan had also come to deliver the crystal cores, but Ling Ran didn't even bother to look at him: "Leave the crystal cores, and get out."

"Yes, sir."

Zhen Zhifan didn't say much, told the space ability user to leave behind the two million crystal cores, and then left neatly.

Pei Xiu, who was planting vegetables, watched this scene and said, "Zhen Zhifan is quite sensible."

Hu Meiying came down with her notebook in her arms. Seeing this scene, she didn't say much, but walked to Ling Ran's side: "Sir, my novel is finished. Would you like to read it?"

Did I read the first book last time?

"Yes, it's a total of 1.23 million words." Hu Meiying smiled and said, "It's all finished."

"Okay, I'll watch it tonight."

"Uh-huh."

Hu Meiying nodded, feeling the same excitement and anticipation she felt when a novel was recommended to her.

I hope you can give me a five-star review!

After watching variety shows all morning, Pei Yi and Gu Zijing returned at noon. They said they had found four people who met the requirements and invited them to come over in the afternoon for Ling Ran to interview and select.
