Assistant Zhou led the team to weigh the gold, which weighed over 600 jin (approximately 300 kg). Base Chief Wu then instructed Assistant Zhou to retrieve the gold and hand it over to Ye Yunxi.

While waiting, Wu Jidi and Ye Yunxi chatted for a few minutes.

"Little Ye, do you know how Little Fu knew that the extreme heat was coming?"

Ye Yunxi's heart tightened. She had considered notifying the base, but she hadn't expected the base commander to ask. After thinking for a moment, she said...

"Chief Wu, regardless of how you know this, the reason I'm reminding you is simply to give humanity hope for survival, rather than watching them die one by one."

Don't ask anything else, and don't doubt us. We just want to survive.

After listening to Ye Yunxi's words, Commander Wu pondered for a while and realized that it was indeed as she said, which could reduce casualties.

"Alright, then I won't ask any more questions. I hope you will always stand on the side of the base."

Before Ye Yunxi could speak, Zhou Yuan came in with a box.

"Miss Ye, the gold is all in this box. Please check it."

Ye Yunxi took the box from Zhou Yuan and thanked him. Then she said goodbye to the base commander.

Before leaving, Ye Yunxi turned to the base commander and said, "Base commander, whatever Fu Heng and I do is for the good of the base, so you don't need to doubt our character."

After Ye Yunxi finished speaking, she asked Assistant Zhou to take her to the breeding farm.

"Miss Ye, please don't take what the base commander said to you just now to heart. He was only doing it for the good of the base."

Zhou Yuan accompanied Ye Yunxi outside, and after thinking for a moment, he turned back to Ye Yunxi and said something.

“I know, but you and the base commander need to know that we will never do anything to betray the base.”

Ye Yunxi understood that the base chief managed such a large base, and whatever he did was for the good of the base.

Ye Yunxi and Zhou Yuan walked to the door, got into Ye Yunxi's car, and Zhou Yuan gave directions to the breeding farm.

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at the farm. Ye Yunxi parked the car, opened the door, and got out.

Zhou Yuan then led Ye Yunxi into the gate of the breeding farm.

As Ye Yunxi walked, she observed the farm. It was located inside a large shed, with each animal separated by a fence. There were also lights above it to simulate sunlight.

They arrived at an office, and Zhou Yuan gently knocked on the door.

"Dr. Hu, this is Zhou Yuan's assistant. I need to speak with you about something."

"Come in," a deep male voice came from inside.

Zhou Yuan opened the door and led Ye Yunxi inside.

"Dr. Hu, this is Ms. Ye Yunxi. She has something to discuss with you."

Zhou Yuan introduced Ye Yunxi to Dr. Hu, and at the same time, he also introduced Dr. Hu to Ye Yunxi.

"Hello, Dr. Hu, I'm here to buy some chickens and ducks from you. I'm wondering what your purpose is?"

Ye Yunxi said politely to Dr. Hu.

"There are quotas for the number of livestock on our farm. If you want to buy them, that's fine too. What would you offer in exchange?"

Dr. Hu looked slyly at Ye Yunxi. He didn't need contribution points; he just wanted vegetables. He had learned from others that this Ye Yunxi was providing vegetables to the base, and he wanted some too.

Ye Yunxi didn't know what Dr. Hu was thinking, so she tentatively asked him.

"Dr. Hu, what would you like?"

Dr. Hu was waiting for these words. "I heard you're supplying vegetables to the base. I don't want my contribution, I just want to trade vegetables with you."

Ye Yunxi was surprised that Dr. Hu wanted vegetables, so she said...

"Sure, I have vegetables, but today's supply has already been given to the base. If you want them, you'll have to wait a few days. You see..."

"How am I supposed to know if what you're saying is true?" Dr. Hu snorted softly.

"In that case, I won't buy it."

Ye Yunxi also has a temper. Seeing Dr. Hu say that, she decided not to buy it anymore. Anyway, she had it in her space, but it was just inconvenient to take it out.

Zhou Yuan stepped in to smooth things over.

"Dr. Hu, Ms. Ye, please don't do this, let's talk this out."

“Dr. Hu, you should trust Miss Ye. She keeps her word. I, Zhou Yuan, vouch for Miss Ye. Otherwise, Miss Ye wouldn’t have made a deal with the base.”

"Ms. Ye, please don't be angry. Dr. Hu didn't mean that."

Dr. Hu blushed and became red-faced after Zhou Yuan's words. After thinking for a moment, he said to Ye Yunxi.

"Since Zhou Yuan is here to vouch for me, I'll trust you this once. Just bring the vegetables over after the harvest."

"Alright, for Assistant Zhou's sake, I won't hold it against you."

Ye Yunxi said aloofly.

Zhou Yuan had already stepped in to smooth things over; if she didn't appreciate it, she would be slapping Zhou Yuan in the face. Besides, she also had a partnership with the base.

"You... never mind, never mind. How many do you want?"

Dr. Hu wanted to say something after Ye Yunxi spoke to him, but Zhou Yuan stopped him. He then spoke calmly.

"I need five pairs of chickens and ducks, male and female, small ones only, no big ones."

Ignoring Dr. Hu's expression, Ye Yunxi spoke softly.

"Alright, you'll come with me to the chicken and duck section," Dr. Hu sighed.

Ye Yunxi and Zhou Yuan followed Dr. Hu out of the office and into the chicken and duck section. They had someone catch several pairs of chickens and ducks, which were then packed into boxes and given to Ye Yunxi.

After receiving the chicken and duck, Ye Yunxi said goodbye to Zhou Yuan and Dr. Hu.

Ye Yunxi carried the box out of the farm and placed it on the back seat. She prepared to get into the car.

Zhou Yuan ran out and shouted, "Miss Ye, please wait!"

Ye Yunxi stopped and turned to look at Zhou Yuan in front of the car door.

"Mr. Zhou, is there anything else?"
