Chapter 44

The tone was gentle, the words seemed caring, and even the body language was friendly. But the golden python felt a chill and looked down.

Wandi had no idea when he had a stick in his hand and was drawing something on the ground.

"That food is enough for a full meal, but it's not enough to sustain you for long. Food on land is limited. To ensure your survival, you need the ocean."

Wandi said frankly.

"Then..." The golden python didn't know how to follow Wandi's words.

"This is our deal. We can help you build a channel connecting to the ocean, but we need compensation."

Wandi stood up and spoke in a calm tone, but with a determined smile in her eyes.

If the other party is willing to trade for a win-win situation, that would be great. Of course, if they are not willing, she will have to go to the trouble of finding other ways to get the other party to agree.

It was already dusk when Wandi climbed out of the snake cave again. She hurried back to share the news with everyone.

"Wow, does that mean there's a lot of gold in there?!" Yao Si's eyes sparkled. If she'd known this, she would have gone with Wan Di. "And there's a talking snake! It sounds like a fairy tale. Thinking about it makes me feel even more regretful. Don't you think so, Wen Xue? You must want to go too!"

Ji Wenxue was nudged on the shoulder by Yao Si. She looked up at Wan Di in a panic, not sure if she saw clearly, and then quickly looked away. "Yes... yes, hahahaha, it does sound magical."

Ji Wenxue didn't quite know what to say. In fact, when Sister Wandi was talking just now, she thought of what Sister Wandi said to her before she left that night. Then she couldn't help but think of the day when she pressed the button... She did something wrong and she wanted to make up for it, but it seemed that the more she cared, the more messed up she made.

She was conflicted, but didn't want to show it and make her other sisters worry about her.

But she was not sure she could hide it from everyone, especially since Ji Wenxue secretly looked up at Wan Di again.

Wandi laughed when she heard that, and immediately threw away the screen, "Don't feel sorry, we will have many opportunities to deal with them in the future! We also need to build a passage from the ocean to the land. Although it is to facilitate the snakes' hunting, we also have to take into account the environment and our future development. So we have to spend more time on the site selection." Wandi chatted and turned the topic to their current top priority.

Ying Zhao also nodded quickly. She usually attaches great importance to the so-called balance. She should not exhaust all the resources in everything, and should not be carried away by a good thing.

Jiang Zouwei was already operating the screen expertly. "If the tunnel is mainly used as a hunting tool, D-grade tunnel materials are generally sufficient. However, since this place is close to our residential area and passes through several forests, considering all factors, we decided to use B-grade materials. Although the cost is higher, the benefits are greater."

Ji Wenxue sat quietly on the other side, only showing a smile of agreement when everyone was talking, although it seemed like she was forcing a smile.

Wandi saw it and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just closed it.

Although everyone has been busy these days building the land and sea corridor, a task that can unite everyone has never appeared. This time, the land and sea corridor plan is so large and covers so many areas that it can include everyone.

Everyone listened to their assignments with great energy. Watching the world change through the accumulation of small actions is a very happy and fulfilling experience.

While the sea and land passage was being built, the most exciting thing was of course the reward. They got a gold mine as start-up capital.

Wan Di plans to combine the construction of the land and sea passage with their infrastructure projects. Jiang Zouwei will be in charge of the construction of the land and sea passage, while Ying Zhao will be in charge of their infrastructure projects.

Ying Zhao got the project. She had little experience with these things and would have definitely refused it according to her previous habits. However, now, she just accepted it with a smile and seized every minute to familiarize herself with it.

A month later, Ying Zhao called Wan Di.

"This is an improved air vehicle that can travel close to the ground with the help of air. Spaceships and the like are convenient in space, but they have many limitations when used on planets. Air vehicles are smaller and more comfortable and quick to use on our planet." Ying Zhao said with a smile. She had worried that it was too difficult before, but after careful study, she found that most of them actually had very mature theories and manufacturing systems, and they just needed to be adjusted to suit the local environment, which was a very simple thing.

Wan Di sat in the air car, and Ying Zhao also opened the passenger door and got in. "Because air cars move with the help of the surface air, the road doesn't need much effort. Except for some key traffic points, we try not to destroy the original environment and ecology of the Di planet..."

Ying Zhao spoke excitedly all the way. This was a major task she had completed independently. Whether it was planning, design, or final implementation, she would supervise the entire process. Now that it was the final acceptance stage, she couldn't help but want to show every detail.

Wan Di always looked at him with a faint smile, which made Ying Zhao feel more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was silently encouraged. It was not until the end of this road that Ying Zhao suppressed some of his excitement and asked, "Wan Di, what do you think?"

Wan Di didn't answer immediately. Instead, she reached out her hand, touched it, and then pressed Ying Zhao's neck with her fingertips, "You look a little tired."

Ying Zhao looked up in surprise, and then realized that her neck did feel a little sore, but she smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Just bear with it and it will pass?" Wandi said before Ying Zhao could even speak, and Ying Zhao felt a little embarrassed. But Wandi was right. She really thought so. After sitting in the car for a while, she seemed to have no other problems except her neck. In fact, she felt it halfway through the journey, but she deliberately ignored it at the time.

What was a minor discomfort like? Their car was so fast and convenient, so a little discomfort seemed to be par for the course. Besides, today she was going to show Wandi the superiority of the car, and this minor discomfort was like a bucket of cold water poured over her burning heart. She had a bad feeling.

I intentionally found a lot of topics to talk about, and naively thought that Wandi would not notice this.

Ying Zhao was still smiling, but his expression suddenly became stiff, "Uh, hahahahahahahaha."

Wandi removed her hand from Ying Zhao's neck and moved it to touch his cheek, gently caressing it. "Don't worry, I'm not lecturing you." Seeing Ying Zhao's facial muscles relax and his expression brighten, Wandi continued, "Of course, this little discomfort is tolerable, but it's completely unnecessary, isn't it?"

"This distance makes your neck uncomfortable. Here," Wandi knocked on the seat beneath Ying Zhao, "it's designed based on male height and weight standards. Buying ready-made products is indeed more convenient, but as a medical student, you should have a better understanding of what kind of design is more ergonomic and how these devices will affect the human body over time. We're not competing, we're just trying to make the most suitable product, whether it's a car, a boat, or something else."

"I'm very satisfied with everything else, but I think you can do better here."

Ying Zhao couldn't help but turn her head and look at the chair as she listened, pondering. She was naturally intelligent, and even then, Wan Di hadn't grasped the situation immediately. Now, as soon as Wan Di explained it, she suddenly understood. No wonder she always felt something was wrong. She'd been so focused on the products that she'd forgotten they were designed to be used by people.

Yes, these minor discomforts are certainly tolerable, but why should we tolerate them? If technology continues to improve but people can't enjoy its convenience, what's the point of such development?

Ying Zhao finally smiled, "I was confused the past few days."

In the next few days, Ying Zhao focused on this matter, but when it started, she followed the clues and found that there were actually many things they needed to do.

Vehicle and spacecraft seats, airbags and other items, ordinary ergonomic chairs, medicines, food standards, sleep time... too many things lack standards for female samples. No wonder there are always so many "small tolerable discomforts" that pass by in life in the past.

While working on her task, Ying Zhao set her ambition: she would continue to work hard to make every aspect of life, from standards to goods, serve women and provide them with convenience. If nothing else, she would at least delve deeper into the field of medicine.

These jobs inevitably require dealing with people. In addition to their own people on Earth, there are also many people from other planets. Therefore, Ying Zhao has been receiving calls almost constantly these days.

For fear of missing out on something important, Ying Zhao didn't dare to mute his phone and stayed connected anytime and anywhere 24 hours a day.

Another call came in. Without even looking at the contact person, Ying Zhao answered the call reflexively. He opened the screen and saw a virtual photo on the other end.

"Hello, is this Ms. Ying Zhao? This is Xingji Ban De Kuai Law Firm."

After agreeing, Ying Zhao became confused again. Why did the law firm call her? She hadn't contacted them recently and hadn't done anything that required a lawyer's help.

"Well, we've learned that you were defrauded of 300,000 interstellar coins two years ago, and the suspect has been apprehended."

Ying Zhao's eyes widened when she heard this. The lawyer's words brought her back to the past. When her money was defrauded, she was under the control of her family. Things had been getting better at that time, but because of this damn liar, all her savings were defrauded away in an instant. Her family also took this opportunity to cut off her other options, and she could only do odd jobs according to her family's arrangements.
