Chapter 22: The Pine Tree That May Never Bear Fruit

Even if Lu Yuelan liked Xiao Lan's ability to teleport, she would not tempt him to give up his generous treatment at Yongjia Supermarket and live with a poor woman like her.

But after Lu Yuelan said that, the scene became a little quiet, which made her misunderstand that the trafficking of alien beasts was legal, and her idea of ​​equality was actually heresy.

"What are you talking about, Teacher Lulu? Xiaolan is a robot my father bought from Leilei's house. It's a bit old. If you want it, just take it for free."

"These days, even the underworld doesn't involve kidnapping and trafficking animals. The profits you get aren't even enough to cover the lives of your entire family. Who would be so stupid as to do such a thankless and damaging thing?"

"Really? I've heard that some places are so chaotic that they're prone to such inhumane acts."

"Is that so?" Meng Yemo was a little bit unbelievable. The population in the interstellar space was pitifully small, and every cub was a precious treasure to the interstellar space.

Compared to those animal traffickers who would have a great impact on the cubs' minds, causing them to die prematurely or become mentally disturbed and evil, the punishment in the interstellar space is extremely strict. It is better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go. Several generations of their own family will be found by the Star Alliance and executed one by one.

Unless the animal dealer is an orphan whose entire clan has been wiped out or he hates his ancestors for eighteen generations with a vengeance, no one dares to become an animal dealer and make his entire clan live in fear with him.

Hearing the disbelief in the little white cat's tone, Lu Yuelan felt a little ashamed. This was the second time she was frightened to death by her lack of interstellar common sense. She was afraid that someone would come forward in the next second to confirm that the little guy's statement was correct and expose Lu Yuelan's identity as an outsider.

She currently doesn't know how her identity as an outsider is regarded in the interstellar world, so she tries not to expose it if possible. She also wants to exchange it for a parallel card at Yongjia Supermarket and reunite with her family.

Fortunately, things did not turn out to be the worst. Manager Zheng stepped forward to explain to his ignorant young master how violent the animal dealers' business chain was.

Even though the Star Alliance has been extremely aggressive in its crackdown on animal traffickers, there are always some people who are blinded by greed and hope that they will be lucky enough not to be caught.

Remind the young master not to run away from home next time. If you have any problems, you can come to Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zheng will help you handle it.

Otherwise, if you are caught by those vicious criminals, you may be killed on the spot, and it will be too late for me to save you.

"Uncle Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not running away from home. I'm just hungry and want to find something to eat."

Meng Yemo didn't expect that Uncle Zheng would suddenly expose his true colors. What a bad guy! When Teacher Lulu heard that he ran away from home, she wouldn't think he was a bad kid, right?

Meng Yemo glanced at Teacher Lulu cautiously. After Teacher Lulu's gaze shifted to him, he quickly retracted his nervous look and pretended to look at the situation around him. He was very busy and did not peek at Teacher Lulu's expression.

"Little baby~"

"Teacher Lulu, I wasn't looking at you. I was thinking about what else I hadn't bought."

The Nightmare blurted out what was in his heart, and was immediately annoyed and wanted to bite off his tongue. This was a confession, and Teacher Lulu hadn't even asked him what he was looking at just now!

"Yes, the teacher believes that my little Mengmeng is a good little baby. How is your health now? The teacher has something good to give you. Next time you get hurt and the teacher and parents are not around, you can use this to heal yourself."

Sure enough, she was still just a baby. Lu Yuelan looked at the depressed expression of the little guy who confessed without being asked with amusement. She reached out and took out the reward that the system had just given her for completing the treatment task, and handed it to the little guy as a prerequisite for the transaction with Uncle Zheng.

Lu Yuelan thought the reward item would be a precious potion, and wondered if she could buy two parallel cards at a bargain price later.

Unexpectedly, what she took out was a pine tree that was only as big as Lu Yuelan's palm, which made Lu Yuelan confused. This was not a medical gift package at all, it was purely an ornamental green plant.

How could she have the nerve to ask for a favor and bargain with Uncle Zheng?

Of course, this was Lu Yuelan's own thought. She didn't notice that except for her, who had surprise and regret in her eyes, everyone else had fanaticism in their eyes.

Uncle Zheng even misunderstood the regret in Lu Yuelan's eyes, thinking that she took out something on impulse and later regretted taking it back. He lost his composure and snatched the pot of lush green pine tree from Lu Yuelan's arms and stuffed it into the young master's arms.

When Lu Yuelan looked at him in surprise, Zheng Wen coughed lightly and signaled Xiaolan behind him to continue to deliver the good things, so as to complete the transaction as soon as possible and put the things in his pocket.

"This is the Dragon Scale Heart, the dragon scales from an Emperor-level golden dragon. They can protect the user from attacks by monsters below the Emperor level. And this is the Brilliant Pearl, made from mermaid tears. Although it's not as effective as the spiritual healing effect of the thing in your hand, Miss Lulu, it has a very high healing effect on serious injuries and trauma..."

Seeing Uncle Zheng's eagerness to conclude the deal and the healing power in his words, Lu Yuelan suddenly understood.

Could it be that the spiritual counseling she used to treat the little guy was so effective that it attracted the attention of Manager Zheng?

Just now she said that she was giving the little guy something good so that he could use it when he got injured in the future. Manager Zheng mistakenly thought that the pine tree was a good thing to cure the little master.

This is difficult to judge. If Lu Yuelan was a little cruel, she would have made the best of a bad situation and traded this piece of junk as if it were a treasure.

"Miss Lulu, what do you think? If not, I have other good things here. Take whichever you like."

This is too proactive. Lu Yuelan shifted her gaze to the pine tree and looked it up and down with the Eye of Truth. She found that it was still the ornamental pine tree that only looked pleasing to the eye. It didn't even produce edible pine cones, and its value was almost zero.

The feedback received from the Eye of Truth is that once this ornamental pine tree bears fruit, the fruit can effectively suppress the riot of mental power, but it also says that the fruit-bearing rate is almost zero, and many natural treasures are needed to have that tiny chance of bearing fruit.

Out of a guilty conscience, Lu Yuelan said weakly, "This thing can only be used for viewing. I can't guarantee whether it will bear fruit."

The fruit-bearing rate is too low, almost to the point where it cannot bear fruit. If the other party insists on having a pine tree that is 100% capable of bearing pine cones, Lu Yuelan can only reluctantly refuse the other party's flattery and take the thing back.

Which is more profitable, a short business or a long-term business? Lu Yuelan is not a fool and knows which one to choose.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the young master likes it."

Hearing that Lu Yuelan didn't want to take back the gift, Manager Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile that this was no problem and he could accept it.

"It's just an ornamental pine tree with no other additional uses. Are you sure you want to spend so much money on it?"

Lu Yuelan looked at the various good things displayed by Manager Zheng, then looked at her own pine tree which had no other special effects except for its lush greenness, and repeated a sentence uncertainly.

As for the possibility of producing a fruit with the ability to suppress mental violence regardless of level, the probability is too low. Lu Yuelan doesn't think the other party will be willing to spend a lot of money to cultivate it. It takes too long, and the loss is completely inversely proportional to the benefit. A qualified businessman would not do that, at least Lu Yuelan would not do such a stupid thing.

"If Miss Lulu feels uneasy, we can sign a contract and we will not be responsible once the goods leave our hands."

"Do you provide after-sales service for these things?"
