The girl's scream faded away.
The dozens of people on the hovercar looked at Jiang Si as if she were their savior.
Jiang Si patted Wei Chi, who was pressing the quantum computer.
Wei Chi nodded to her, stood up, and made way for her.
Jiang Si stood up, got out of her seat, and went to the front. Looking at the girl with tears streaming down her face, who was hugging the military academy student named Ling Du, she said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone in the hovercar to hear: "I'm sorry, I'm not a healer. I can't save your companion."
The girl's pupils constricted; she hadn't expected this outcome, but she couldn't believe it: "In the Abel Interstellar, planters are recognized healers. You are the largest planter in the Troia Empire; you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Jiang Si spread her hands, her expression unchanged: "You know I'm the largest planter in the Troia Empire, a merchant... not a plant grower, so I don't have plant-based spiritual power and can't heal your companion. But don't worry, we'll be at the school gate in a few minutes..."
"How could you not be a plant grower?" the girl exclaimed excitedly. "You are the only apprentice of Master Gong Ming, a 7th-level plant healer in the Troia Empire. If you're not a healer, why would he accept you as a student?"
"Your Highness, I beg you, please have mercy and save Lingdu. I'll pay whatever it takes, please!"
Tsk!
The books she read featured more scheming, manipulative, and pretentious characters than she knew any real people.
The girl in front of me is completely unskilled.
Jiang Si sighed softly, "Everyone, it's not that I'm heartless and want to leave you to die. I'm really not a healer. As for why I'm Lord Gong Ming's only student, it's because I know Lord Gong Ming, the newly promoted 7th-level plant healer of the Troia Empire."
"I am in charge of all the fruits, seeds and seedlings cultivated by the newly promoted 7th-level plant healer. Therefore, in order to get to know the newly promoted 7th-level plant healer, Lord Gongming deliberately took me as his student."
"My fruits, seedlings, and vegetables—those who know me know that these are the result of my collaboration with the newly promoted Level 7 Healer."
"So I myself am not a plant therapy therapist at all. This fellow Federation student, you have really come to the wrong person. I'm sorry, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, I'm just really powerless to do anything about it."
They dare to morally blackmail her.
Who gave her the audacity to stage such a low-level staged accident?
The girl didn't believe her and continued shouting, "Your Highness, I know that healing someone is very taxing on the body and takes a lot of mental energy, but..."
"No buts!" Wei Chi interrupted the girl, "What's wrong with you? My Jiang Jiang has already said she's not a therapist. Why don't you believe her and still let her treat you? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"
"I didn't... I just wanted to save Lingdu!" The girl's tears rolled down her cheeks like beads, making her look pitiful. This caused the people on the hovercar to feel sorry for her and begin to accuse Wei Chi with their eyes.
“I know you want to save him, but my Jiang Jiang really isn’t a healer.” Wei Chi pointed to himself: “If she were a healer, given our relationship, do you think my mental and physical abilities would only be B+A?”
Those who pointed their fingers at him realized it made sense. If the young princess was a healer, then those around her would have an advantage, and their physical and mental strength would definitely increase rapidly.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm really not a healer." Jiang Si squatted down in front of the girl, acting even better than the girl herself, and took out a bunch of tangerines: "If you want non-mutated fruits and vegetables, I do have some in my spatial storage, but as for treatment, I really can't do anything about it."
The unmutated fruit emitted a fragrant aroma, and the faint healing spiritual energy caused the dozens of people on the hovercar to involuntarily take a deep breath.
Seeing that she had no advantage, the girl hugged the unconscious Ling Du tightly, tears streaming down her face as she cried heartbrokenly.
Seeing that the girl wouldn't accept the tangerines, Jiang Si put the tangerines back into her spatial storage, took out a tissue, handed it to the girl, and comforted her, "Don't cry, we'll be at the school gate soon. You have to trust your friend, he'll be fine. Here, wipe your tears."
The girl didn't take the tissue, but looked at her with teary eyes.
Jiang Si was so convincing in her acting that when she saw the girl wouldn't take the tissue, she took the tissue and used it to wipe the girl's tears.
After she performed this role, the people in the hovercar quickly changed their opinion of her.
A moment later.
A beep.
As the hovercar arrived at its destination and the doors opened, medical staff in white coats rushed in, anxiously asking, "Whose mental energy has gone berserk? Where is the person?"
“Here he is…” Jiang Si stood up and raised her hand to the medical staff: “The person with the mental disorder is here, quick, quick, get him to the central hospital.”
Four medical staff members approached, saying, "Everyone, please make way, make way! Please get off the hovercar if you have nothing to do, and give us some space!"
Half of the people on the hovercar suddenly dropped off.
Medical staff came and lifted Lingdu onto a stretcher. The girl followed her off, not forgetting to take a deep look at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si smiled at her, followed them downstairs, watched them get into the ambulance, then got into her own car with Wei Chi, switched to autopilot mode, and drove to Wei Chi's home on the Third Ring Road.
Wei Chi sat in the passenger seat, his seatbelt fastened, leaning to the side: "Jiang Jiang, you're so smart. You actually knew that girl would call you to treat her companion."
Before the girl called Jiang Si, Jiang Si whispered to Wei Chi that the girl would morally blackmail her into treating her companion.
Wei Chi didn't believe it at first, but he was proven wrong the next second. The girl really did morally blackmail Jiang Si in front of everyone, saying that she was a plant specialist and therefore a therapist.
Jiang Si opened her personal terminal, transferred 100,000 star coins to the Imperial Central Hospital, and left a message for the treatment of the mental rioters in the Federation called Lingdu.
"Did you see that girl? When the hovercar stopped, the medical staff from the Imperial Central Hospital got on, and that girl's face turned green." Seeing that Jiang Si didn't speak, Wei Chi continued, "It's a good thing you're smart and let me send a communication to the Imperial Central Hospital ambulance, otherwise, they might have bothered you after you got off the hovercar."
Jiang Si looked up at Wei Chi after seeing that the transfer had been completed: "Yes, yes, you're the smartest. By the way, could you get me a set of pharmaceutical equipment?"
"Get a set of pharmaceutical equipment?" Wei Chi asked, puzzled. "Is it an instrument for measuring drug dosage, an instrument for refining drugs, or an instrument for mixing drugs?"
Is everything so flashy and over-the-top these days?
Jiang Si tentatively asked, "One for each?"
Wei Chi asked in surprise, "Give me one of each! These things aren't cheap. What do you want to do with them?"
Jiang, without any pressure, immediately shifted the blame: "It's not that I want to do anything, but I'll tell you secretly, it's that the newly promoted 7th-level plant healer wants to make a potion."
"But she...she doesn't want the world to know, so she asked me to buy the equipment. Price is not a problem, as long as you can get the equipment. Can you get it?"
Wei Chi scratched his head and said, "Wait a minute, let me ask."
Jiang Si replied, "Okay!"
Wei Chi turned on his personal terminal and made a call. The call was answered after four rings. He said, "Mom, it's me. I wanted to ask if you could find any medicine equipment here. Yes, all the medicine equipment. It's not that I want to sell it, it's that His Highness is buying it for someone else. Yes, yes, okay, I'll bring His Highness over right away. Thank you, Mom."
After Wei Chi finished speaking, he hung up the computer and smiled at Jiang Si, "My mom said she can get it, but there are a lot of instruments involved, so you'll need to make a trip to the gene research institute in person."
A gene research institute?
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: "Okay, let's go now!"
After she finished speaking, she readjusted the destination for the autopilot.
The car changed course and headed towards the gene research institute.
Two hours later, it was already dark when we arrived at the entrance of the Gene Research Institute.
The lights at the entrance of the gene research institute were bright. As soon as Jiang Si and her group got out of the car, they saw a woman wearing a white coat, with her hair tied up, exquisite makeup, and an elegant and capable demeanor.
The woman, with her hands in the pockets of her white coat, walked towards them when she saw them.
Wei Chi led Jiang Si to greet the woman, introducing her with a smile: "Jiang Jiang, this is my mother, Ms. Luo Qingdai. Ms. Luo Qingdai, this is the young princess of the empire, Bo Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Si showed no surprise or astonishment at Wei Chi's revelation of the pseudonym he already knew about. She reached out and shook her hand at Luo Qingdai: "Hello, Ms. Luo Qingdai, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Luo Qingdai stopped in front of them, revealing a gentle, graceful, and generous smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Your Highness, please come in!"
Jiang Si said thank you.
Luo Qingdai led the way, and the two of them followed behind her.
The research institute was brightly lit, and everyone was still working overtime.
Jiang Si and Wei Chi were wearing the Fifth Military Academy's combat uniforms—one in bright red camouflage, the other in green camouflage—and hats on top of each other. Wow, once they entered the Gene Research Institute, they immediately became the center of attention.
When the busy researchers saw her, their mouths dropped open in disbelief, and they screamed like groundhogs in their hearts, "Ahhh, we've seen the little princess alive!"
Wei Chi entered the research institute as if he were in his own home, waving to the researchers and saying, "Aunt Hong, Aunt Ma, Brother Mi, Uncle Guan, hello everyone, have you missed me?"
The researchers snapped out of their reverie and replied in unison, "We've been thinking about you, we've missed you terribly."
"Congratulations! You've made it to the semifinals of the 280th Mech Competition."
"Xiao Chi, you've made it to the finals. We'll buy you a gaming pod later."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Chi, as long as you make it to the finals of the mecha competition, we'll buy you gifts, and they won't be the same for everyone."
Wei Chi grinned and said, "Then it's settled. If I make it to the finals, you're not allowed to renege."
"Oh my, Xiao Chi is doing great! He's going to make it to the finals! Okay, okay, as long as you make it to the finals, I'll buy you seven different colors of game consoles."
Wei Chi was delighted and happy.
But his joy turned to sorrow. His mother wouldn't let him go with her, only taking Jiang Si into the heavily guarded area of the equipment, and locking him outside the heavy door.
The Imperial Central Gene Research Institute is a national-level gene research institute, the only one of its kind in the entire empire. It is an elite research institute, and only the director, His Majesty, and the Marshal know how many laboratories it contains.
"Your Highness, I have a question I'd like to ask you!" Luo Qingdai led Jiang Si into the instrument laboratory and asked politely and skillfully.
Jiang Si glanced at the huge laboratory filled with instruments, then looked at Luo Qingdai and said, "What questions do you have?"
Luo Qingdai said thank you and asked, "Your Highness is the largest grower of natural fruits and vegetables in the entire Abel Galaxy. She is also favored by His Majesty, is the beloved daughter of General Bo Jichen, and a student of Lord Gong Ming. Whatever instrument you want to buy, you can get it. Why do you need to ask Wei Chi?"
Jiang Si reached out and touched a nearby instrument, replying to Luo Qingdai, "Indeed, as long as I say the word, any kind of instrument can be sent to me."
"But I'm not using this device myself; I bought it for someone else. That person doesn't want others to know what she's doing, so I unintentionally learned from Wei Chi that he has an unusual relationship with Ms. Luo Qingdai. I thought I'd go through him and use you to buy the device!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingdai hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness could tell me who you purchased the instruments for? It's like this, although I am the director of the research institute and have certain authority, the whereabouts of these instruments must be recorded."
Jiang Si smiled in response: "Of course I can tell you. I bought it for the newly promoted 7th-level healer. She recently wanted to research potions but lacked the equipment. However, she didn't want to come out and meet people, nor did she want others to know that she was researching potions, so she asked me to buy the equipment!"
Newly promoted Level 7 Plant Therapist?
Luo Qingdai was somewhat excited: "Therapist, you want to research the potion? That's wonderful, wonderful! This will provide another boost to the problem of attacking genes."
"Good, good, Your Highness, look at all these instruments in this room. They are for extracting, cooling, and pressing medicines. There are 38 machines in total, plus a generator to power all 38 machines."
Jiang Si nodded and asked, "Can I put these 38 machines into my spatial storage now?"
Luo Qingdai nodded: "Of course, these 38 machines have been debugged and used for a while. After you take them, you can use them directly without debugging."
"Okay, thank you!" Jiang Si said thank you, and using the space in her wrist to twist and conceal herself, she put the machines into the space one by one. All 38 instruments were put away in an instant.
One instrument costs over 100 million; 38 instruments would cost nearly 4 billion!
Jiang Si transferred the money to Luo Qingdai, and did not forget to remind her: "Ms. Luo Qingdai, please be sure to keep this a secret and do not let anyone know that the newly promoted 7th level plant healer is making potions."
Luo Qingdai nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will absolutely not tell anyone."
Jiang Si reached out and patted her shoulder twice: "Thank you, I won't bother you any longer, I'll go back now!"
Luo Qingdai was patted twice and was a little confused, but she didn't ask. She assumed it was just her habit and sent her out of the gene research institute. After watching her get into the car and leave, Luo Qingdai turned back to the institute. As soon as she entered the institute's gate, she suddenly found that her body was lighter and her mental strength seemed to have broken through. She hurriedly ran into the institute building to check her mental strength and physical strength.
I didn't know until I checked. I found that my mental strength had advanced by two levels, and there were signs of repair on my damaged genes.
So... was it when His Highness patted her twice just now?
"Mom, where's Jiang Jiang?" Wei Chi chatted with everyone at the research institute and saw his mother, but not Jiang Si. He asked, "Did she run away?"
Looking at her son, who had spent his entire life in the treatment pod, Luo Qingdai pointed to the examination equipment and said, "Come on, son, lie down in there. I need to examine your body!"
