Chapter 235 Night Thorn

The frequency of the Zerg invasions of the XIII Legion was too frequent, and the leadership changes were too frequent, causing many people to have a strong sense of crisis.

Several neighboring legions are already considering how to fight against the Zerg after losing the barrier of the 13th Legion.

One of them is the 12th Legion, which has little presence.

Therefore, the Central Legion's starship D855 only docked on the main star for half a month. After undergoing a complete overhaul, it rushed to the 12th Legion with the original crew.

Does this count as fulfilling Caleb Ryan's promise?

It is said that a husband and wife’s love for one day is as great as a hundred days’ love, and a hundred days’ love is as deep as the sea.

Kyle Ryan is no exception.

Other legions needed to exchange a lot of resources for the crystal cores and planting plans, but Kyle Ryan gave them all to the 12th Legion without taking a penny.

If everyone hadn't kept their mouths shut, Kyle Ryan would definitely have been criticized by the legion commanders for this discriminatory treatment.

Perhaps, we also need to bring the Empire, the Sea Clan, and the Feather Clan?

However, when the Central Legion's D855 starship lands on the Haiguang planet, the political and economic center of the 12th Legion, the welcome ceremony should not be too grand.

You know, the last time such a big fuss was made was when the Alliance Chairman visited the 12th Legion.

The last time such a disaster happened, it was Shi Jiyao who brought Shi Ruize back, and the 12th Legion had successors.

The children presented them with twelve bouquets of flowers and led them to the viewing platform. Twelve welcoming columns and twelve floats passed the viewing platform one after another and stopped in order in the square. Shi Jiyao delivered a welcome speech on behalf of the 12th Corps...

After finally finishing all this, they said there would be a small welcome dinner.

Then, all the senior leaders of the 12th Legion got to know Caleb Ryan, the junior commander of the Central Legion.

As for whether Caleb Ryan knew these senior executives, only he knew.

But Tang Jia was sure that Miss Sophia remembered them anyway.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen!

Shi Jiyao and Shi Ruize also warmly received Tang Jia, talked to him for a long time, and gave him a generous gift.

Many people did not quite understand and felt that the 12th Legion was too grand.

Only Tang Jia understood that this was nothing more than a mother's deep love for her son.

This is the persistence that Shi Ruize has, and Caleb Ryan must also have.

Although they are different, even their appearances are a little different, but this does not affect Ms. Shi Jiyao's desire to maintain balance.

After the banquet, Shi Jiyao led Shi Ruize to stand at the door of the banquet hall and watched them walk very far away.

Caleb Ryan never turned around, but he could always feel the gazes on him.

After returning to the starship, Caleb Ryan's emotions still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Tang Jia understood immediately and gave him some advice.

"Send Shi Ruize an invitation letter for exchange and study!"

Let him also see the main star he has never set foot on, the main star camp of the Central Legion, and Kyle Ryan.

Caleb Ryan put his arm around Tang Jia's waist and muffledly said, "Okay!"

On the third day after Caleb Ryan arrived at the 12th Legion, Shi Ruize boarded the starship bound for the main star.

Tang Jia's small planting class finally opened in the 12th Legion, and Ms. Shi Jiyao was among them.

Tang Jia naturally took extra care of him and set the highest standards.

This happened to be exactly what Ms. Shi Jiyao wanted.

The two of them learned from each other and eventually became friends regardless of age difference.

Hearing that Tang Jia's hobby was collecting plants, Ms. Shi Jiyao immediately piled up the plants she had collected in the 12th Legion in front of Tang Jia, lined them up in a row, and let Tang Jia choose.

There were several plants that Tang Jia had never heard of or seen before.

Tang Jia accepted them without hesitation, urged their growth, and harvested them. He used various instruments to comprehensively test their composition and functions.

Unexpectedly, the medicinal properties of two of the medicines not only matched Tang Jia's body-tempering formula, but also had a certain additive effect.

After some integration and adjustments, Tang Jia finally came up with Body Tempering Formula 4.0.

But thinking about the "side effects" of the body-tempering formula, Tang Jia could only put the body-tempering formula in a corner of his storage space.

After studying these two plants, Tang Jia finally turned his attention to other plants.

It was also at this time that Tang Jia discovered that among this pile of plants there was actually an "introverted" mutant plant.

This dark purple vine that grows in dark corners is called nightthorn.

Its leaves have serrated edges and emit a faint blue glow at night. Its stems are covered with tiny spikes that release a paralyzing toxin when touched.

Nightthorn successfully disguised itself as a slightly poisonous plant that could release paralyzing toxins, and successfully deceived Tang Jia.

If one day, when Tang Jia was cooking in the laboratory, the prepared shrimp meat suddenly disappeared and a burp suddenly appeared in her ear, Tang Jia would not have been able to discover this "master of disguise".

Since "others" were pretending, Tang Jia couldn't expose them, so he could only silently add a portion of shrimp meat and order a plate of Longjing shrimp.

Perhaps the taste of the Longjing shrimp was too tempting, and "someone" couldn't resist the temptation and swallowed silently.

Tang Jia, who was able to locate the person by listening to the sound, quickly locked onto the location of "someone".

Of course, everything requires evidence.

Catch the thief and the stolen goods; catch the adulterer and catch the couple.

Tang Jia can’t hastily convict “others” based on a piece of missing shrimp, right?

So, Tang Jia took advantage of the fact that "someone" was feeling guilty and secretly installed a miniature camera in the laboratory.

The next day, Tang Jia cooked another meal in the laboratory.

Sure enough, "someone" still couldn't resist the temptation of the braised pork and secretly stretched out his "evil hand".

Although the action was quick and no evidence was left, the WeChat camera of Interstellar Era was quite powerful. The 0.0128x slow motion footage restored the crimes of "someone" to the suspect one by one.

The night thorns remain silent throughout the entire tree, except when the wind blows, the sharp thorns make a crackling sound, like a code word refusing to talk.

Tang Jia smiled slightly and threw out the wood-type ability that no plant could refuse.

Night Thorn only lasted three seconds before surrendering to Tang Jia, showing its "other side".

It silently unfolds its flowers, which look like thorns when closed, exuding a sweet fragrance and silently emitting the "smell of temptation".

Although Tang Jia didn't know the effect, it didn't stop her from collecting them as soon as possible.

The nightthorn remained silent, revealing its root system that was more developed than the plant itself.

Only then did Tang Jia discover that the chemicals secreted by its roots were more toxic than the small thorns that only released paralyzing toxins.

With the precedent of making "biochemical bombs" to fight the Zerg, Tang Jia didn't mind making this highly toxic substance into a new type of ammunition and taking it to the Zerg battlefield to try it out.

Although Night Thorn doesn't speak, it is a good comrade. Tang Jia rewarded it with more wood-related abilities without hesitation and found it a lot of "brothers and sisters".
