Shen Yanming chuckled: "Wife, isn't it good to cling to me? You work so hard every day, let me share this sweet pain with you. Besides, isn't it enough that I'm clinging to you?"
Bi Qiaoan blushed slightly, glared at him, and said, "Get lost, all you do is say nice things. You should go now and remember to come back soon."
"Okay, I understand!" Shen Yanming hugged his wife and left.
After he left, Bi Qiaoan entered the space.
There wasn't much to do in the afternoon. Besides resting, she continued to study the seeds that had been transformed by spiritual energy.
----------
After watching the press conference, Yuan Ruoxi, the city's resident, had Tong Xianbao call Li Sikai over.
"Captain Li, when can I get the sunscreen injection?" Yuan Ruoxi asked matter-of-factly while lying in bed.
Li Sikai smiled slightly, "The league has its own arrangements. Someone will notify you when it's time for your injection."
Yuan Ruoxi was very dissatisfied with the answer. She threw her phone on the bed and asked, "Didn't Dean Xu say that special talents would be given priority for injections? I'm a space ability user, so can't I be considered a special talent?"
"You are quite special, but you can't be considered a talent yet."
Yuan Ruoxi glared with her goldfish eyes, ready to start cursing, but Li Sikai explained: "Our Qinghua Kingdom welcomes people with special abilities, but the value of special abilities is far less than the contribution of experts and scholars who have mastered science and technology to all mankind."
If sunlight desensitizers are injected, researchers will be among the first. Following them will be elites from all walks of life protecting the personal safety and property of the people.
You might barely make it into the third batch. Don't be dissatisfied; compared to the average person whose chances are uncertain, this is already quite high in the rankings.
Li Sikai didn't hide anything and shared his guess.
Ke Yuanruoxi was unconvinced. She asked, "How is that possible? How can I, a spatial ability user, be inferior to guards and police officers?"
A flash of disdain crossed Li Sikai's eyes, but he still explained in a gentle tone: "You are very special and very capable, but your role is limited to this small world."
Compared to others, they are still more important.
Yuan Ruoxi was speechless, but still insisted, "However, my space can be used to replace many people. The amount of supplies I can carry in one trip is equivalent to several trucks."
"Yes, you said it yourself, you're using it. So, Ms. Yuan, how many days a year is your space actually in working mode?" Probably less than half, it's always causing trouble, and the security team has to clean up your messes.
"Moreover, space is not irreplaceable. At worst, we can spend some time and effort and eventually get the job done. But the minds of those scientists, as well as the selfless dedication of the guards, police officers, and medical staff, are irreplaceable."
Seeing that she couldn't change Li Sikai's mind, Yuan Ruoxi changed the subject and said, "Well, I don't want to eat bitter rice and noodles. Is it too much to ask for some old grain from last year?"
Li Sikai smiled and nodded, and Yuan Ruoxi's eyes lit up.
Just as I was about to say that he was sensible, he said, "It's not unreasonable, but the guards have already put this year's summer grain into storage and mixed it with the old grain from previous years. Now there's no rice or flour that isn't bitter."
"How could that be? Don't lie to me!" Yuan Ruoxi didn't believe it at all. She felt that Li Sikai was deliberately mistreating her because of her broken bone.
Li Sikai pointed at Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang: "You can ask them if our team members are eating bitter rice and noodles every day, just like everyone else?"
Yuan Ruoxi looked at the two of them and saw them nod slightly.
Yuan Ruoxi was unhappy and pouted, saying, "But I just can't stand hardship, and the food was too awful."
I already have a fracture and need to recover. If I don't eat something good, how will I recover! Didn't Director Xu say that as long as I don't eat withered food, I won't feel bitter...?
Li Sikai didn't want to listen to her whining and rambling, so he interrupted her directly: "But when we were harvesting, we had no idea about this news at all. The harvested grain was stored in the warehouse immediately. It was all mixed up and indistinguishable."
Now, unless you have some surplus grain to cook separately, this is the only kind of bitter food you can eat.
Li Sikai suddenly seized Yuan Ruoxi's lifeline, and the girl immediately stopped crying, saying reluctantly, "What grain do I have? If I hadn't been penniless, how could those people in Su City have discovered my secret?"
If they hadn't found out, I'd still be living a carefree life outside right now.
They might have been wandering around in the wheat field for ages, filling up the space already.
Hearing her mutterings, Li Sikai gave a mocking laugh and said, "If anyone else had found out, you'd probably be torn to pieces by now. Do you think everyone is like the Alliance, willing to protect your secrets and be so lenient with you?"
Yuan Ruoxi was speechless, unwilling to admit that what Li Sikai said was true.
She knows she's not smart enough, but can you please stop hitting her sore spots?
Seeing that he couldn't get any more food from Yuan Ruoxi, Li Sikai said goodbye and left.
When he returned to the dormitory, Sun Sainan went up to him and asked, "Boss, what trouble has Yuan Ruoxi caused this time?"
"After watching the press conference, I want to be among the first to receive sunscreen, and I also want to eat food that isn't bitter."
Sun Sainan scoffed, "Is she dreaming in broad daylight? What contributions has she made that she has the nerve to say such things!"
"Some people think they're superior just because they have some space; they can't even recognize their own place," Geng Zhixing said.
"Yes, although we are nominally protecting her, from another perspective, aren't we also monitoring and imprisoning her?"
Upon hearing this, Li Sikai's expression turned serious, and he reprimanded, "You are not allowed to say such things again. You must always remember that our mission is to protect those with spatial abilities."
Yes, it's about protecting spatial ability users, not protecting Yuan Ruoxi. There's a significant difference between the two.
Sun Sainan, being straightforward, realized she had spoken out of turn and immediately stood up and shouted "Yes!", fearing that the captain would punish them again by making them recite the regulations from memory.
Li Sikai didn't argue with them and waved for them to sit down.
He sat back on the bed and, recalling Yuan Ruoxi's request, found it rather ridiculous.
The guard team wasn't without old grain, nor were they actually mixing it with new grain.
How could the research institute not notify the local guard teams immediately of something it was able to discover?
However, no one can simply throw away food that tastes bitter.
In order to eat these unpalatable foods first, they would mix in half old grain to reduce the bitterness.
Although it doesn't taste good, as long as it preserves the wheat and rice grains from before the apocalypse, it's good.
