It's a real pity that Ningxia didn't extend a favor to them earlier; otherwise, given their righteous nature, they would definitely have worked for them.
However, I'm content as long as I can be with my roommates and they are all safe and sound.
In their past lives, they had all taken special care of him and had done him a favor in one way or another. Now, he was leading them to City B, saving them from an early death, which could be considered as repaying his karmic debt.
Lu Chuan also left. He had always known that the woman's scent was too impure, and he didn't like it.
He was small, but he was lucky enough to be noticed by the base leaders and become a laboratory assistant.
He was particularly adept at distinguishing different kinds of the same medicine because his nose was so good.
?
A meeting is being held in the base office because a batch of fresh grain has arrived in the market. Although the quantity is small, the taste is exceptionally good.
The leaders couldn't trace the source of the goods; their owner was too mysterious.
"We must find out the source of this batch of grain. It's extremely important for us. It's amazing that they were able to grow fresh grain."
"Yes, we are already working hard to investigate. Please give us a little more time, Commander."
"Our security measures are not adequate. If this were the enemy, our base would already be in danger."
"Yes, it is our responsibility, and we will definitely conduct thorough inspections."
The meeting finally ended after the base commander issued a series of orders.
The security minister tugged at his tie. "Where are we supposed to find him? Maybe that important figure has already left the black market."
"Even so, that corn tasted really good."
The black market manager took over the conversation.
Ningxia had just finished a task, handed it over, and was preparing to go home to rest when he overheard their conversation.
Corn? Could it be what she's thinking?
“I think we should start with the black market guard; he should have seen that person before.”
The security minister shook his head. "I asked him, and he has no recollection of it."
Ningxia stepped forward cautiously and suggested, "My lords, I once ate a kind of corn in Haizhen."
Its flavor is very unique; I've never seen or eaten corn like this before. It's so delicious! I wonder if this is what you two gentlemen are looking for?
The two, at a loss, turned around at the same time and grabbed Ningxia.
"Where? You mean Haicheng?"
"Have you seen that person? Take us there quickly."
Ningxia was both amused and exasperated. She had only casually probed, but she hadn't expected the two of them to get so excited.
"Okay, I've met her. She's a little girl, and she's the one who planted the corn."
The security minister grabbed Ningxia's arm. "Quick, come with me to see the base commander and have a good talk with him."
The three went straight to the office. After learning about the situation, the base commander decided to send an advance team to investigate and, ideally, bring the talent back and protect him, lest such a talent be eaten by zombies.
Ningxia was fortunate enough to join the team, and Lu Chuan accompanied her as an assistant.
Soon, Xiao Li met Ning Xia and the advance team again.
"No, I'm fine staying in the village. You guys should go ahead."
It's not that Xiaoli is being pretentious, but so far in the experiment, only a small number of plants have been successfully modified. She still has experiments to do, so how can she run around everywhere?
Captain Mo Ran was very annoyed. This girl was completely unresponsive to reason or pressure, and he was at his wit's end.
"Didn't you say you had a relationship for a while? Why is Miss Su completely refusing any advice?"
He could only vent his anger on Ningxia, and someone had to take the blame for it.
Ningxia was also very distressed. She thought that even if they didn't get along well, they were at least nodding acquaintances. Who knew that Su Xiaoli would be so unreasonable?
However, speaking of the name Su Xiaoli, there was a powerful figure in my past life who possessed both water and space elemental abilities and also had this name. I've never heard of her being able to farm.
It's probably just a coincidence of names!
"I'm sorry, Captain Mo, I didn't know she was like this. We did meet once before, and I even traded roasted corn with her."
"What? You're going to roast the corn? You're really wasting it."
Ningxia felt a little guilty, as she had only recently learned that black market corn was selling for 100 crystal cores per kernel.
"Hehe, Miss Su grilled it and then gave it to me. We just eat what's already prepared."
"Exchange? What will you use to exchange?"
“Crystal… Crystal core…”
Mo Ran nodded. That's more like it. He asked casually.
"How many crystal cores did you exchange for it?"
Ningxia felt even more guilty, and blushed as she held up one finger.
"100 of them? Of course, this corn is worth that much, not to mention it's roasted."
Ningxia dared not continue the conversation, so she quickly made an excuse and slipped away.
Su Xiaoli went too far, actually roasting the corn! She should have used it to make soup.
She should have stayed here shamelessly and exchanged for more corn; now she realizes she wasted her time.
Lu Chuan lingered outside Xiao Li's courtyard every day. He could smell the girl's scent and wanted to thank her. At that time, he was penniless, but now he had a salary.
Xiao Li opened the door, and the boy had been loitering around nearby. She was really annoyed by him.
"Hey, why are you turning around like that? Stop looking here, it's making me dizzy."
Lu Chuan immediately became anxious. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you dizzy?"
Xiao Li was truly defeated by him. Could she say that she was dizzy with shock?
"I'm not sick. Don't loiter around my house, or I'll file a complaint against you."
Lu Chuan nodded and took a bag out of his pocket.
"Here you go, thank you for saving me. This is my salary, take it all. I'll come and bring you more in the future."
"Please don't, I don't like being disturbed, please don't come again."
Xiao Li thought for a moment, then took the bag.
"I'll accept this; we're even now."
Lu Chuan pursed his lips, remaining silent. He couldn't control what she did, nor could he control what he wanted to do.
Xiao Li slammed the door shut, and Lu Chuan left the courtyard.
Because Xiaoli refused to move or accept protection, Moran had no choice but to use the third option.
They exchanged the large number of crystal cores they brought with Xiao Li for supplies, including corn, soybeans, and fruit...
He decided to leave one person behind to handle communications. Lu Chuan applied for a spot, and in the end, Mo Ran agreed.
Xiao Li resumed her research, but this time Lu Chuan was added to the training team.
The advance team returned to the base, and the base commander was very satisfied. His only regret was that Xiao Li had not moved in. He was relieved to learn of her strength.
Over the next decade, Xiao Li cultivated most of the plants on Blue Star, earning the great favor of the base manager.
These plants not only solved the problem of food for everyone, but also mitigated the aggressiveness of the mutated plants, giving humans an extra layer of security.
