Chapter 32

I hope that the base now has more than just her brother Gu Yuan as the deputy base commander.

In his previous life, Gu Yuan fell into a desperate situation so quickly and was trapped in a dangerous place but could not wait for rescue. It was not only because of Xiang Haoyu's conspiracy, but also because another deputy base commander of the base helped Xiang Haoyu to cover up for him.

Of course, after thinking about it, Gu Qi did feel that it would be better for him to open a store.

She is not afraid of those people's various overt or covert means. If anyone dares to touch her things, don't blame her for chopping off his claws.

Meeting Gu Qi's concerned and worried eyes, Gu Yuan raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, smiling helplessly, "Do you think my brother is so weak?"

"Of course not." Gu Qi quickly shook his head. If his brother was really a weakling, he would have died in the first round of calculations by Xiang Haoyu and the others in his previous life.

"I'm just a little worried."

"The storage space and fresh vegetable business is too easy to be targeted. You have so many people under you. Can you ensure that every one of them is as unlikely to betray you as Dai Yishen and the others?"

If she hadn't known that these people were trustworthy, and she had secretly taken out a layer of insurance, Gu Qi would have made a contract by asking them and getting their guarantees before inviting them to dinner. Even if something unexpected happened, she could ensure that some things she didn't want others to know for the time being would not be leaked.

With the double guarantee, Gu Qi took out the storage space without hesitation and revealed some things in his hands.

Gu Yuan fell silent after hearing this.

Indeed, he couldn't guarantee that all his subordinates would not betray him.

Once people know about the storage space and the large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables, they will come like hyenas, smelling the scent and trying every possible way to swallow this piece of "fat meat".

It is not impossible to take advantage of the situation, after all, this kind of thing has happened before.

but--

"If you open your own shop, you'll be targeted by many people. I don't want you to be in any danger."

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't I open this shop? If you have anything to sell or anything to buy, just let me handle it. Even if I don't do anything, as long as I'm in this position, those people will keep an eye on me. I'm not afraid of more people."

"I don't agree." Gu Qi refused decisively. "Not to mention the large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables, the benefits of the storage space alone are too great. I'm afraid that not only the people in Hope Base, but also the other bases will definitely be eyeing it."

Not to mention that she will come up with more enviable things later.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Qi felt that it was a bit risky to ask her brother to borrow people. It would be better for her to refine two puppets to be responsible for the business of the store, to ensure that she would not be too involved with her brother.

Naturally, Gu Yuan didn't want his sister to take such a big risk, so he also looked reluctant and refused to nod.

For a moment, the two of them were deadlocked.

Gu Qi pursed her lips, wondering how she could get her brother to agree to her plan.

She must open this shop, otherwise it will all depend on herself and the little guys in the cave to collect the materials needed to repair the cave, and the repair speed will be too slow.

Even without Gu Yuan, she could find a way to open the store, but it was impossible for Gu Qi not to care about her brother's feelings. The two had depended on each other since childhood. Her brother was her only relative in this world. Moreover, she didn't want him to worry about her all the time.

She soon came up with a solution.

As long as she lets her brother know that it won't be dangerous for her to open her own shop and that she is not afraid of those dangers, then everything will be fine!

However, it was inconvenient to let Dai Yishen and the others know about these things. Gu Qi turned to Gu Yuan through voice transmission and said, "When I followed you earlier, I was sitting on the roof of your car. Did you notice?"

Gu Yuan was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't notice this, but why did he suddenly mention this?

"My special ability is actually wood-related. The other methods I learned were all from an unexpected adventure. I also have a hiding place that will definitely not be discovered by others. I also have a way to make it impossible for others to find the store and my contact..."

After briefly explaining the existence of the cave and his current cultivation skills to Gu Yuan, Gu Qi finally said, "Brother, I cherish my life very much. Do you believe me?"

Of course I believe it, Gu Yuan nodded slightly in affirmation. If even his sister, who had depended on him since childhood, didn't believe it, then who else could he believe?

In addition, some of the abilities that Gu Qi displayed did seem like immortal cultivation methods that only existed in legends, so Gu Yuan agreed after much hesitation.

"You can open your own shop, but you must ensure your own safety."

Dai Yishen and others: What happened? Why did the captain suddenly nod in agreement after the captain and Gu Qi looked at each other for a while?

Is this the tacit understanding between siblings?

Or did the two people actually communicate with each other through eye contact, but they just couldn't understand it?

No matter how many doubts Dai Yishen and others had in their hearts, they could only keep them in their hearts now.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that neither the captain nor Gu Qi would explain the reason to them.

So, they just keep eating.

"Delicious! This tomato is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious tomatoes in my life!" Dai Yishen couldn't help but exclaim.

Several others echoed the others.

"Yes! Tomatoes are so delicious, they don't even taste like tomatoes!"

"I declare that this tomato has replaced Lao Chen's limited-edition dish as the most delicious thing in the world!"

Remembering Gu Qi's previous words, someone exaggeratedly said, "If we sell this tomato, I think there will be a lot of people vying to buy even a single level three crystal core!"

Not really, it’s not that serious.

Gu Qi thought that only a fool would do such a stupid thing as buying a tomato with a third-level crystal core.

Not to mention that there is only a tiny bit of imperceptible spiritual energy in this tomato. Even if the tomato contains as much spiritual energy as spiritual wheat, it would not be sold so expensively.

You should know that one level one crystal core can be exchanged for ten packs of instant noodles, one level two crystal core is equivalent to one hundred level one crystal cores, and one level three crystal core is equivalent to one hundred level two crystal cores. However, this is only on the surface. In fact, the purchasing power of a level three crystal core is far greater than that of ten thousand level one crystal cores.

Such a tomato can only be tasted, and has no special effect. Gu Qi's price in his mind is five first-level crystal cores for one. When the cave becomes bigger and the planting area expands in the future, the price should be lowered.

What is unexpected is.

There really is a fool who would spend a third-level crystal core to buy a tomato.

The main reason was that Gu Qi hadn't expected this. Judging from the expressions of Dai Yishen and others, this didn't seem strange.

The story begins a few minutes ago.

After changing his appearance, Gu Qi returned to Hope Base with Gu Yuan and the others. As planned, they went to the mission center of the base and prepared to rent a shop to open a store.

As a result, when fast-forwarding to the mission center, Gu Yuan and the others saw a person, looked at each other, and then started acting.

The content is roughly that Gu Yuan and his friends accidentally obtained a normal fresh tomato, spent more than ten secondary crystal cores to buy this tomato, and then "argued" how to divide it.

It was at this time that the greasy young man who was dressed a bit flashy approached. Amidst the argument between Dai Yishen and others, the man "grabbed" the tomato, saying that he was the one who deserved to eat it the most.

After noticing that many people were watching around, he generously threw out a third-level crystal core.

The young man flipped his hair, thinking he was looking handsome, raised his chin and said, "I spent money on it, so don't think about running to my dad and accusing me of stealing things."

Dai Yishen looked dissatisfied, but after thinking about something, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction and said angrily, "We didn't agree to sell you. Give me back the tomatoes!"

The young man looked at the onlookers, then looked at Gu Yuan with a grim expression. An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he bit the tomato directly, finishing it in a few bites.

"That's all." The young man spread his hands. "Anyway, you guys have taken the crystal core, and I've eaten the tomatoes. Money and goods, transaction complete, no one owes anyone anything!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Those who followed him and wanted to stop him but were too late had to follow him with bitter faces, thinking that they would be scolded by Deputy Base Commander Qian for not keeping a good eye on this young master.

That was a Level 3 crystal core! So many people risked their lives to obtain it, and yet this young master actually traded it for a fist-sized tomato.

The young man quickly led his men back to his residence, drove them outside the door to guard it, and then...

He raised his hand and licked the remaining tomato juice on it.

"This tomato is really delicious, but it's a pity that I ate it too quickly and couldn't taste it at all."

Recalling the taste of the tomato, the young man couldn't help but mutter, "If only I could eat it every day, that would be life. What kind of life is this now?"
