Chapter 15 This is the list we compiled overnight.

Not long after, Uncle Lu Yuan pushed the door open again, this time to take her to a new place.

"Uncle Lu Yuan, where are we going?"

"A few uncles and grandfathers want to meet you. They just want to ask you about your experiences in the Beast World. Just tell them the truth."

Yuanyuan hugged Xiaobai and nodded obediently, "Is Uncle Gu here?"

"Of course, Professor Gu will definitely be there for such an important moment."

Hearing that Uncle Gu was inside, Yuanyuan wasn't so nervous anymore.

Sure enough, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Professor Gu at the door.

"Yuanyuan, come here."

Gu Zheng waved to her, and Yuan Yuan ran over, wanting to hug him but afraid he wouldn't like it, so she stopped a step away.

Gu Zheng bent down and picked her up.

The moment she ran over, Little White jumped out of her arms and hopped after her.

When Gu Zheng saw it for the second time, he was no longer so surprised.

"Don't be afraid, your uncle is here."

“Yuanyuan, don’t be afraid.”

Gu Zheng put her down and took her hand instead. Yuan Yuan bent down, picked up Xiao Bai, and followed him into the conference room.

The conference room was large, with people sitting on both sides of the long table. There were young men and women, as well as many elderly men in Zhongshan suits.

She secretly glanced around and realized that she didn't recognize anyone except Uncle Gu and Uncle Lu Yuan.

Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable and hid behind Gu Zheng.

Their eyes were so bright, they seemed to want to stare her into a hole.

"Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. They are all uncles and grandfathers. They mean no harm."

Gu Zheng sensed her nervousness, bent down and gently coaxed her, then looked up at everyone, "Everyone, calm down, you're scaring the child."

Professor Meng, who was sitting in the middle, was the first to stand up, and if you looked closely, you could see that his hands were shaking.

His gaze shifted from Yuanyuan's face to the rabbit in her arms.

Xiao Bai was nestled in Yuan Yuan's arms, its nose twitching slightly as it warily watched the people around it.

"This...this is...an ancient steppe rabbit?"

Professor Meng's voice trembled, and he reached out to touch her but dared not.

"The last fossil record of extinct species documented in ancient books dates back a thousand years."

He noticed it when he saw it on the tablet. At first, he suspected it was an Australian takin, and later he even searched through ancient books and materials overnight.

The final conclusion is that it is most similar to the ancient steppe hare.

"Could we take a single lint sample for testing? Just one."

Afraid she would refuse, he added, "It won't hurt."

Yuanyuan looked down at the little white dog in her arms. The little guy's ears were pressed tightly against his back, and his round eyes were staring at Professor Meng's outstretched hand.

The little paws rubbed against her clothes, full of wariness.

He seemed to be ready to scratch him if he dared to reach out.

Old Zhou, who was standing nearby, also came over and softened his tone, "Yuanyuan, we'll just take a single hair and pluck it gently. It won't hurt at all, it'll feel like you've lost a hair."

"We'll have to ask Xiaobai for his opinion."

"..."

"Okay, then ask away."

Yuanyuan picked up Xiaobai and asked softly, "Xiaobai, can the grandpas take a hair from you?"

"Squeak!"

Xiao Bai tilted its head and rubbed its little nose against Yuan Yuan's chin.

"Xiaobai agrees!"

"But you can only take one!"

Professor Meng and Old Zhou were overjoyed. Old Zhou quickly took out a sterilized transparent bag and tweezers from his pocket.

Others: "..."

This week, Lao Lao came prepared!

Old Zhou didn't do it himself, but handed the tweezers to Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, could you please help Grandpa pull it out?"

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist once he started.

Yuanyuan took the tweezers, carefully picked up a stalk, and gently pulled it out.

My hand was probably shaking, and I accidentally pulled out a few.

Little White shook its ears, but didn't react.

"Okay!"

Yuanyuan put the fluff into a small bag and handed it to Old Zhou.

Old Zhou's hands trembled slightly as he took the bag. After carefully checking and confirming that there was indeed hair inside, he cautiously handed it to his assistant behind him.

"Send it to the lab immediately for expedited testing!"

Old He, sitting next to her, couldn't help but stare at Xiaobai for a while, then looked at Yuanyuan.

“Yuanyuan, let’s not talk about rabbits for now. Do you remember ‘leaf moss’ that can inhibit cancer cells?”

Did you bring back one or two of those slimy, white-flowered plants that grow on tree bark?

Yuanyuan was taken aback. "How do you know Ye Tai?" She had only mentioned her to Uncle Gu once!

Could it be that Uncle Gu told him?

She was unaware that her every move in the beast world had been captured by the tablet, and she was filled with confusion.

Gu Zheng reached out and ruffled her hair: "The grandfathers just wanted to help you collect the herbs that are useful to us."

I wanted to tell her that they could see her situation in the beast world, but I was afraid she would feel uncomfortable if she knew, so I decided not to say it.

"oh……"

Yuanyuan nodded as if she understood, "There should be more Ye Tai elsewhere, but I only took a little at the time. Besides giving it to the system to complete tasks, I gave the rest to you, Uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Old He immediately sat up straight in his chair, tapping his cane on the ground, his tone accusing:

"Xiao Gu, that's not fair of you."

"The leaf moss is key to fighting cancer, how can you keep it to yourself?"

Our medical team has been waiting to do the component analysis!

An elderly professor from the nearby botanical research institute pushed up his reading glasses and leaned over to chime in:

"That's right, Gu boy! Yuanyuan gave you such a big bouquet of flowers, how can you still not be satisfied!"

"..."

"This time, we absolutely have to get a sample of the leaf moss, so we can at least see how its cellular structure differs from existing mosses!"

"Old Yu, this is a valuable item that can cure diseases and save lives. Don't just grab it blindly."

Gu Zheng knew these old guys would do this, so he took the box from his assistant.

Take out a sealed glass jar from inside.

The jar was lined with damp, sterile cotton, and a foliage plant with tiny white flowers was nestled inside.

He placed the jar on the table. "Here's the leaf moss you wanted. I did some basic moisturizing after receiving it today."

We don't know how long it will last, since we don't know the climate where it grows. If it withers or rots due to improper handling, it would be a waste of Yuanyuan's good intentions.

The crowd, who had been clamoring for samples, fell silent instantly, all their eyes fixed intently on the moss in the jar.

"That's right, but you should have said so sooner, otherwise we would have worried for nothing."

Old He turned his gaze to Yuanyuan and asked with a smile, "Yuanyuan, will you be able to find Ye Tai next time you go to the Beast World?"

Yuanyuan shook her head, gently patting Xiaobai's back to comfort her, "The places I pass through are different each time, so I might not be able to meet them."

"It's okay, safety is the most important thing."

"Yuanyuan, do you still have any purple flowers? Grandpa loves them." Another old man asked.

Yuanyuan blinked. "How did Grandpa know there were purple flowers?"

She originally intended to give it to Uncle Lu Yuan.

"Grandpa guessed it. Can I give it to Grandpa? If not, you can have Uncle Gu share a piece or two."

Gu Zheng: "..."

Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan shook her head and refused, "That's a gift for Uncle Gu. If the grandfathers want it, I'll bring it to you next time I come back, okay?"

Although I'm disappointed, it's better to get it next time than to just watch it go.

"Yes, yes."

The next second, he pulled a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

"This is a list we compiled overnight, with lots of grasses you've seen in the Beast World drawn on it."
