Ji Xian glared at Lingling, "What if she gets into danger?"

Lingling said, "She even tried to kill you before, what's wrong with letting her do it?"

Ji Xian waved his hand, saying that it was probably pointless to try to reason with Lingling, an artificial intelligence, about human emotions.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I won't agree to it. If I have to bring it up, it's this: what should I do if the other side sends troops to attack me?"

Lingling said, "Things that need to be resolved by force should naturally be resolved by force. If the other party uses force, you must have the strength to fight back."

Ji Xian pondered, "So we need a lot of weapons, right?"

Lingling nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xian asked, "Is the 200,000 energy points I recently acquired enough?"

Lingling said, "If I had to say it's enough, then it's enough."

"What do you mean?" Ji Xian looked at Lingling in surprise. When did Lingling start speaking in such a roundabout way?

Lingling added, "There's no such thing as 'enough' weapons; naturally, the more the better."

Ji Xian sighed, a hint of melancholy in his eyes, "You're right. In other words, the more money we need, the better."

The more money you have, the more weapons you can buy.

He nodded slightly.

Ji Xian nodded dejectedly: "I understand."

It seems we still have to rack our brains to create an industry.

Ji Xian had considered this before: in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, apart from food, the other industries that could make money would only be small-scale.

Because of the small population, everyone only needs to solve the problem of food and clothing, and everything else is superfluous.

It's too easy for the market to become saturated, making it impossible to generate substantial and sustained profits.

Only in the food sector can you make unlimited money.

Regarding food, City 1055 has also been producing nutrient solutions.

However, while producing nutrient solutions can be profitable, it doesn't generate the astronomical sums one might imagine.

Because this isn't extremely profitable.

The whole world is facing food shortages and needs nutrient solutions.

Logically speaking, this is a scarce commodity and should be able to sell for a very high price.

In fact, one energy point can buy 2-4 bottles of nutrient solution.

This explains the problem.

Because this is an essential resource that everyone needs to survive, you can't sell it at a high price.

If the price exceeds the purchasing power of the poor, then all the poor will gather together to target this unscrupulous merchant.

At that time, a large mob will appear and destroy the production factory.

If they can't survive, then nobody should survive!

Therefore, Ji Xian does not plan to open another nutrient solution production factory.

He wondered if it was possible to grow food directly in the apocalypse.

If feasible, then growing food on the infinite land of the apocalypse could still generate a lot of money.

Sow a single grain of millet in spring, reap ten thousand grains in autumn.

Unlike the real world, food cannot be sold at high prices in the post-apocalyptic world because food, like nutrient solution in the post-apocalyptic world, is an essential resource for human survival and cannot be sold at high prices.

But in this apocalyptic world, nutrient solutions have replaced food.

Therefore, the grain grown here can definitely fetch a high price.

In fact, the grain that Ji Xian brought over confirmed this idea.

This is an incredibly profitable business!

Ji Xian was tempted just thinking about it.

But this world is not lacking in intelligent people.

With so many people in the world, and no one can grow food on this land, how could he possibly grow an unlimited amount of food so easily?

This planet is sick.

Humans are not allowed to live there, and food that humans can eat is not allowed to grow there.

Ji Xiande made a trip to the Purple Forbidden Zone refuge.

Yuan Guoping lived there for 50 years, and the people there relied on the food grown in the refuge for their livelihood.

Ji Xian wanted to go and see how the crops growing there were doing.

Whether or not food can be grown in this world, and the method to grow food, may need to be found here.

Ji Xian left without hesitation.

They arrived at the Purple Forbidden Zone with Xia Luoxue, Xia Yuqing, and Lingling.

Xia Luoxue had been helping to build the base and hadn't been able to work with Ji Xian for a long time. She missed the days when they first worked together. Now that the base was basically completed, she was back to being with Ji Xian.

Xia Yuqing had nothing to do with him; she was just following Ji Xian as a bodyguard or a mascot. Once Ji Xian realized she meant no harm, he let her be.

As for Zero Zero, she said she wanted to see for herself the food grown in the shelter.

As for the ultimate purpose, whether it's to watch or to eat, that remains an open question.

The area of ​​the purple restricted zone seems to have expanded considerably.

Fortunately, it didn't expand as quickly as we had imagined.

Even though it was expanding rapidly, Ji Xian wasn't afraid, since he had a potion to avoid the purple mushroom's attack.

Enter the shelter.

Ji Xian met Yuan Guoping.

Yuan Guoping looks much more energetic than before.

Ji Xian never skimped on the food here; every day he had a balanced diet with a mix of meat and vegetables, so his body naturally thrived.

Moreover, Ji Xian gave Yuan Guoping several doses of basic gene enhancement potion so that he could better cultivate crops.

Ji Xian went to the planting area and saw the grain that had been grown.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes, these high-yield grains, are naturally a must here.

There are also easy-to-grow vegetables such as bok choy, beets, and chives.

The planting area has artificial light sources that mimic sunlight, and the vegetables grow very well under these light sources.
