"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

"These seeds are beautiful?" Li Changzhou also became interested.

"...It's not a matter of whether it looks good or not. It is drought-resistant and frost-resistant, matures and bears fruit within a month, is extremely nutritious, and can bear fruit multiple times."

"Based on the current experimental data, taking eggplant as an example, as long as there are ten plants, a family of three can eat eggplant whenever they want for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, the seeds that grow cannot be planted again, so ten plants will always be just ten plants."

(Owl, you've said too much!)

"The experts are so amazing!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in surprise, her pretty oval face showing astonishment. "You could only exchange for the seeds last night, right? And they've already done such detailed research today!"

"Do the experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have any instincts regarding planting?" Yang Qinglan asked Zheng Qing in an inquiring tone.

“Shennong?!” Li Changzhou sat up.

Zheng Qing: "......"

There is indeed a Shennong in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Instinct is like Shennong, one of the effects of which is that as long as he eats something, such as a seed, he can know the seed's future (growth, required environment, yield) and its past (how it was cultivated).

Given enough time and research, cultivating the same seeds is almost a certainty.

For the nation, this Shennong's status is even higher than that of the members of the national team composed of the strongest players.

The country carefully selects the most suitable teammates for Shennong's monthly missions (the teammates are not necessarily the strongest, and the strongest will also encounter the strongest, such as encountering Li Changzhou and his group).

"Well, anyway," Zheng Qing forcefully steered the conversation back on track, "the country wants to buy seeds from you Full Moon event players at high prices, which is a great thing that benefits the country and its people."

"We've already used up all our points," Yang Qinglan said with a hint of regret.

"......"

Why didn't you say so sooner?! You kept nagging me for so long! And you even made me leak information about 'Shennong'! This isn't information that warrants a written apology!

(Owl, control your emotions.)

Zheng Qing picked up the bottled water that Yang Qinglan had poured for her and gulped down two mouthfuls.

Fortunately, buying seeds is not particularly important. The government has already collected some, although the quantity and variety are very small. But as long as Shennong is there, I believe that large-scale production will be possible sooner or later.

"The second thing, it's the same old topic: are you willing to join the official team?"

Yang Qinglan didn't rush to refuse, and asked as usual, "What are the benefits?"

"I've already told you some things: moving into a safer neighborhood, a salary that's not high but definitely not low, free access to valuable game intelligence, internal resource exchange... On top of that, there are now a few more things."

"For example?" Li Qianxia asked.

It seems she's already finished chatting with her girlfriends.

The girl not only treated everyone to milk tea, but also brought local specialties from home. In return, Li Qianxia had to bring her brother to tomorrow's super spicy bullfrog party.

Zheng Qing said, "The expert team will base their work on instinct, take into account your interests and personalities, and use national-level skills database data to plan a development path specifically for you."

"Oh~" Li Qianxia nodded, "That sounds good."

“That’s right!” Twenty-two-year-old female soldier Zheng Qing said with some pride, “According to data analysis, 80% of the players who joined the Special Operations Bureau have seen a significant improvement in their survivability.”

Yang Qinglan also agreed: "No matter how much you think about it on your own, it can't compare to the professional advice of a think tank."

Zheng Qing was overjoyed; it seemed there was a good chance this time.

(Perhaps it's because they experienced the full moon event, witnessed some formidable opponents, and their sense of crisis has increased.) The logistics team analyzed.

“But I am the type of person who prefers to figure things out on my own rather than looking up guides,” Li Changzhou suddenly said.

"Now is not the time to care about preferences; safety is more important," Zheng Qing advised him.

"Hmm—" Li Changzhou closed his eyes, rocked in his rocking chair, and said hesitantly, "With every benefit comes a responsibility, and I hate responsibility."

(continue.)

Zheng Qing added, "Besides what I just mentioned, there's another benefit to joining the country."

"What?" Li Qianxia leaned out from across the stone table, her bright eyes staring at her.

"I can introduce you to other players."

"What kind of benefit is this?" Li Qianxia was somewhat disappointed.

Zheng Qing smiled and said, "What about players who can do divination? What about players with healing skills? Also, I have three tickets here for a lecture by an expert who has broken through the limits."

She took out three tickets and placed them on the stone table.

The ticket was very simple, only listing the location, speaker, and time.

The background features a golden dragon from China, its scales shimmering with gold, appearing to be made using a special process that would make it difficult to imitate.

"All free?" Li Changzhou sat up again.

"Of course not!"

(The government will not make the players who join work for free; on the contrary, it will provide them with a platform and opportunities to make money.)

Zheng Qing paused, then repeated, "The government will not make the players who join work for free; on the contrary, it will provide them with a platform and opportunities to make money."

(Players who perform divination and healing find customers for them;)

(Expert lectures sell tickets to them;)

(If you have any special skills, you can also report them. The fee can be cash, in-game currency, weapons, or other transactions.)

(For example, acting as a bodyguard or completing a task, the specifics are decided by the players themselves, but no illegal activities are allowed. They can also apply for national notarization and pay a notarization fee to ensure the security of the transaction.)

The logistics team spoke slowly and deliberately, giving Zheng Qing time to hear clearly and repeat herself.

This really made the three of them a little tempted.
