Jiang Li walked over and greeted Gu Jin and Captain Wang.
"The base contacted us to inquire about the vine incident. They were going to invite you, but I thought you might not want to go, so I didn't ask Captain Wang to invite you."
Furthermore, I had previously performed firearm modifications for the base, so Captain Wang came to ask me some questions about firearms.
I didn't expect you to come.
Gu Jin and Jiang Li gave a brief explanation.
Jiang Li really didn't want to have too much contact with the base unless absolutely necessary. Gu Jin also saw Jiang Li's attitude, which is why she didn't ask Captain Wang to invite her.
"Jiang Li, it's been a long time. I've been so busy lately. Do you have some free time now? I have something to give you."
Captain Wang also greeted Jiang Li.
"I'm free. What is it?"
"Didn't you ask me for nutrient solution before? I happen to have some on hand. This kind of nutrient solution will be available for sale soon, and those who need it can buy it. Come with me to the office to get it. I also have a few things to tell you."
"good."
Jiang Li hadn't expected that her wish to have come true so soon after she had just been thinking about the nutrient solution.
Gu Jin and Jiang Li followed Captain Wang to a building next to the service hall, which was the base's office building.
There is access control on the first floor. Everyone needs to swipe their base card to enter. Of course, there are some places that ordinary people cannot enter.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin swiped their base cards and followed Captain Wang to the office.
"This is the nutrient solution. The instructions are all there. Take a look for yourself."
Captain Wang took out six bottles of nutrient solution, each about 500 ml, and an instruction manual from the drawer and handed them to Jiang Li. The liquid was a light blue color, which was quite pretty to be honest.
"Okay, how many points is this?"
Jiang Li took the nutrient solution and instructions and asked Captain Wang.
"This doesn't require points; the base said it's a gift for you."
"Then I won't accept it. I'll just buy it myself after the base is completed."
Jiang Li didn't want to take the base's nutrient solution for free. If the base made any demands later, he wouldn't be able to refuse.
"Don't worry, the base said it's one of the rewards for clearing out the vines on the mountain this time. They won't ask you to do anything. Besides, there are only 6 bottles. You'll have to buy the rest yourself."
Captain Wang knew Jiang Li's concerns, and he had considered giving Jiang Li six bottles as a gift. Besides, Jiang Li would definitely not accept them, so six bottles were just right.
"Alright then, I'll accept it as a reward."
Jiang Li didn't want to owe the base anything, but since it was a reward, he felt he deserved it and had no qualms about taking it.
"So, Captain Wang, what were you talking about earlier?"
Seeing that Jiang Li and the others had resolved the issue, Gu Jin asked Captain Wang for his opinion.
"The first thing is the vines on the back mountain. The base's intention is that since the problem has been solved, they don't want more people to know about it. I've already discussed this with Gu Jin, but since Jiang Li is here, I'll say it again."
Captain Wang knew that Jiang Li and Gu Jin wouldn't say anything carelessly, but as it was his job, he still had to say something.
Jiang Li nodded, indicating that she understood. She knew the base's concerns about causing panic, but the number of mutated plants would only increase in the future. Of course, Jiang Li wouldn't say that.
"And what about the other things?"
Jiang Li didn't ask any further questions about the cane. Since Captain Wang had said he didn't want anyone to know, he certainly didn't want Jiang Li to ask any more questions.
When Captain Wang saw that Jiang Li didn't ask any more questions, he knew that Jiang Li understood his meaning. He had just told Gu Jin, and Gu Jin didn't ask any more questions either. Dealing with smart people is always easier.
"The second thing is something I think you might not agree to, but since the base has been handed over to me, I'll still formally inquire about it."
That means the base wants to recruit you, not just temporarily like Gu Jin did before, but long-term. If you're willing, the salary and benefits can be discussed.
The base also hopes to recruit more talent so that it can become even stronger.
After Captain Wang finished speaking, he looked at Gu Jin and Jiang Li, waiting for their response.
"I have no shortage of food or points."
Upon hearing Captain Wang's words, Jiang Li politely declined. He knew he had secrets and absolutely could not agree to it. If the base found out, he feared he would be studied like the rattan cane.
Gu Jin also stated that she would not join the base.
Captain Wang was not surprised by their refusal. In fact, he had told the people at the base that they might not be willing, but the base still wanted to try again. Although he was disappointed, he did not ask any further questions.
"I knew you would give this answer. It's a pity, but I respect your decision."
Let me tell you a few more inside tidbits. Actually, they're not really secrets. The base will notify you about them later; I'm just telling you in advance.
One is the nutrient solution issue I mentioned before, which will soon be able to be mass-produced. The first batch of Silver Snow Fruit has already matured through experiments and can be sold tomorrow or the day after. The second batch has also been planted.
Another issue is the internet. It should be restored in the next few days, and it won't be unusable outside the base anymore. Software will also only be available through base-developed programs; other software won't work. However, it's much easier to contact people within the base.
Actually, telling Jiang Li and the others in advance was also the base's idea. Anyway, it wasn't a secret, and telling them in advance could also improve their favorability. Even if they couldn't join the base, increasing their goodwill towards the base was beneficial.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin exchanged a glance after hearing the news, their eyes filled with joy. These were rare pieces of good news since the apocalypse.
Several pieces of good news in a row. No wonder Captain Wang has been nowhere to be seen recently. With so many things happening at once, he must be quite busy.
Although she had no worries about food or supplies, Jiang Li was still quite happy.
For Jiang Li, the internet, in particular, was an unexpected delight.
The other pieces of news will also greatly improve everyone's lives now.
After all, no one wants to experience the apocalypse unless there is no other way.
Captain Wang was so busy he was nowhere to be seen recently, but now he's probably a bit free, or maybe it's because of these few things that he's in a good mood. The three of them chatted in the office for quite a while.
Finally, someone came to find Captain Wang, and the group ended their conversation.
The newcomer was a very capable-looking woman with short, neat hair and a blank expression. She nodded slightly to Jiang Li and Gu Jin in the office without saying a word.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin looked at the person, nodded simply in response, and knowing that the person had something to discuss with Captain Wang, they said goodbye to Captain Wang and left.
When Captain Wang saw Han Bing coming over, he knew she must have something important to discuss with him, otherwise she wouldn't have come in person.
Actually, it was Han Bing who first proposed building the base. At that time, the apocalypse had not yet begun, so of course the higher-ups would not agree.
