Chapter 65 The Academicians' Excitement
When you chase him away, he says he's gathering information to tell Grandma Gu. Fine! What else can you say?
Don't think he doesn't know; this kid is actually thinking about her. I didn't expect that seeing her now would make him jealous.
"Alright, go to the side and stand over there. Don't crowd Academician Li and the others."
Commander Zhang pulled Li Chendong down from the glass wall, smiling as he ordered him to move aside. Seeing Li obediently, he then looked back at the three people inside the room and asked with some confusion:
"Welcome home. Why are you so late today?"
"The High Priest prepared a farewell party for us today, which is why I came back late. But it was also to collect more Glowing Grass."
Gu Xinyan explained with a smile that the Yingying Grass was only redeemed shortly before the farewell party began, and during this time, the beastmen in the main city had all been sent to pick Yingying Grass.
If the teleportation scrolls could accommodate more people, the priest would probably have summoned all the orcs in the city to come and harvest the fruit.
In fact, Gu Xinyan also had this idea, but unfortunately the teleportation talisman was not working properly, so she had to give up in the end. Just before the farewell party started, the orc guards brought over all the Yingying Grass they had dug up.
After carrying away the last batch of exchanged goods, he closed the shop and went to attend the farewell party.
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang and his group, who had crossed the room, nodded in understanding. Academician Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
"Yingying Grass? Is it the one you mentioned in your letter? The one that repels mosquitoes and enhances the efficacy of medicine?"
He had been wanting to try this herb called Yingying Grass for ages. Yunyang Island was great in every way, except for the abundance of mosquitoes, especially the mosquitoes, which were not only numerous but also extremely venomous.
The bite marks on his body wouldn't go away for several days. It was alright when he was in the research institute, since it was a closed environment, but it was a different story when he was outside, causing him a lot of headaches.
Unexpectedly, the very thing that was troubling him was mentioned in Gu Xinyan's reply a few days ago, and he had been thinking about it ever since. Now he couldn't help but want to know if it was the thing he was thinking about.
"Yes, it's the one I mentioned in my last letter! Here it is, the Glowing Grass!"
Gu Xinyan looked at Academician Li, who was leaning against the glass wall, and the group of people following behind him. Among them were two academicians she knew, and the rest were unfamiliar faces.
But it was obvious that those who came here were mostly academicians from various fields, and some might even be involved in pharmaceutical research and development. So he quickly took out a handful of Yingying Grass from his spatial backpack.
This grass is very resilient. It has been dug up for a long time, but it is still as fresh as when it was first dug up. Although there are only a few of them, you can still see the fluorescent glow emanating from the leaves of this small bunch of Yingying grass.
The crowd outside the time-travel room stared in disbelief, with two academicians being the most excited, wishing they could crawl inside.
Even though his face was distorted from being squeezed, he didn't care. His eyes were fixed on the Yingying Grass in Gu Xinyan's hand, his gaze burning as if the Yingying Grass were their lover.
Okay! Now there's no need to guess anymore. If nothing unexpected happens, these two academicians should be researching medicine.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be behaving this way. After all, this Yingying Grass doesn't exist on Blue Star. Who knows what other tricks they might come up with.
Commander Zhang was pushed to the very back by the academicians. Looking helplessly at the huddled group of academicians in front of him, he wanted to say something, but ultimately decided to ignore it and turned to Gu Xinyan inside the time-travel room, saying:
"Good, good! Gu girl, you did a great job. By the way, the first two bonuses have already been deposited into your account. I submitted this one a few days ago, so the bonus should arrive in the next couple of days."
After discussion, it was decided that from now on, when the items you bring back from another world become finished products developed by the academicians and are put on the market, the government will give you half of the market share.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan's hand holding the Yingying Grass trembled, and she almost dropped it to the ground.
This made the academicians who were crowded outside shudder, their eyes following the movement of the Yingying Grass up and down, just like cats seeing a fish.
Gu Xinyan was completely absorbed in what Commander Zhang had just said and did not notice the academicians' actions. She became excited and started gesturing wildly.
Wow! She knew without even thinking that the time-travel bonus would be substantial, not to mention that if these things were put on the market in the future, there would be a steady stream of small sums of money coming in. Just thinking about it made her happy.
"Alright, alright, Gu girl, don't get excited. Look how you've made the academicians dizzy, hahaha. By the way, the next mission won't start so soon, right?"
Seeing the academicians' heads bobbing back and forth, Commander Zhang felt a little dizzy and quickly spoke up to comfort the excited Gu Xinyan.
Gu Xinyan: "........."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan instantly snapped out of her excitement and noticed the actions of the academicians outside the time-travel room.
She wanted to put the Yingying Grass back into her spatial backpack, but seeing how engrossed they were in watching, she hesitated. Her eyes darted around, and she stuffed the Yingying Grass into Lu Yunting's hand. Anyway, this guy never talks much, so he's perfect as a background character.
Lu Yunting, who was suddenly stuffed into someone's arms: "........."
"Xiaobai, when is our next mission?" Gu Xinyan, now free of her hands, breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiaobai with a happy expression.
[Host, the next mission is in a month. Xiaobai needs to go back to the main system to turn in the mission and see if he can get some benefits back while he's at it~]
Xiao Bai's voice was filled with a hint of joy as he said this, having exceeded expectations this time.
It felt it needed to curry favor with the main system and flatter it, hoping that if the main system was pleased, it would shower it with good things.
The host gets a bonus, so it can't hold the team back!
After all, you should still have dreams, what if they come true!
Unaware of what her little system was thinking, Gu Xinyan's eyes lit up when she heard that it was going to the main system to ask for benefits. Not bad, not bad, the little system has improved, its brain has become much more active.
"Alright, then hurry back! Go and get the energy crystal yourself!"
[Alright, host, Little White is off now! Little White will be back as soon as possible~ Don't miss me too much!]
