Rong Guang knew that asking so directly was offensive, but Banxia seemed to be very hostile towards him. If he missed this opportunity, he might not even be able to get in the door next time, let alone become friends first and then slowly try to get her to agree.
Nanxing patted Banxia's head reassuringly and raised an eyebrow: "I don't remember."
If Rongguang hadn't brought it up, he probably would never have remembered those two people in his entire life.
Feeling awkward, Han Biao was too embarrassed to sit any longer, so he half-forcefully pulled Rong Guang, who still wanted to continue, away to say goodbye.
Su Yao closed the door and muttered, "What bad luck!"
Nanxing put Banxia's hand in his pocket and smiled generously, "Don't be angry, I'm fine."
He was actually glad that he was thrown away, otherwise how would he have met Banxia?
Banxia carefully examined Nanxing's eyes and saw that he really didn't care: "It's almost the end of the month, how about we move?"
The group excitedly put on their clothes and went to the rental center, where Xiao Meng asked them to find a new place to live. However, Xiao Meng told them that the villa area was already full and that if they wanted to move, they would have to stay in a dormitory-style dormitory.
The group exchanged glances: "Never mind then, we'll deduct it from next month's rent."
Xiao Meng rubbed his hands together: "Sister Ning paid for you."
Banxia was slightly surprised: "When did this happen?"
Xiao Meng mentioned a date, and Banxia checked it and found that it was the day after Yan Ning ate hot pot at their house.
It seems Yan Ning is still the same Yan Ning, unwilling to take advantage of anyone.
Having failed to achieve their goal, the group decided to turn to the private trading market.
Compared to the previous bustle, the private trading market was much quieter now, with only a few sellers dressed in thick down jackets and wrapped in thick blankets.
Su Yao took a liking to a duck: "Boss, how much is this duck?"
The shopkeeper, his voice trembling, flattered, "Brother, you have a good eye. This is a female duck that's still laying eggs. If I didn't have so little extra feed, I wouldn't be willing to sell it."
"Caw caw caw!"
The mother duck, with her legs tied, turned her neck to try and grab the boss, but her neck wasn't long enough and she couldn't reach him. Instead, she got so angry that she sneezed several times.
Su Yao chuckled and said, "Boss, give me a fair price, and I'll buy it."
Seeing that the group was well-dressed, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he demanded an exorbitant price: "Fifty points!"
Su Yao suddenly stopped smiling and called Banxia and the others to leave.
The shopkeeper panicked: "Hey, don't go! Brother, if you want to buy, I'll give you a discount, 20% off!"
Su Yao didn't even turn his head.
"25% off! 30% off! 40% off! If 40% off isn't enough, I won't sell it!"
Su Yao then turned back with satisfaction: "Pay points."
A short while later, Su Yao returned carrying the mother duck after swiping his card: "Banxia, do you have a cage or some thick clothes you don't need? I can borrow them."
Banxia pulled out the cage Jinzi used when he was a child and the thick blanket that had been accidentally burned a couple of days ago and handed them to him: "Brother Yao, why did you buy ducks?"
Su Yao put the mother duck into the cage, then carefully wrapped her in a blanket, making sure to leave a hole for ventilation: "She's laying eggs. We haven't had any fresh eggs for over a year."
Banxia paused for two seconds: "It's so cold, are you sure it will lay eggs?"
In her past life, Nanxing raised a hen to supplement her nutrition. That hen didn't lay eggs in either cold or hot weather, so the habits of a duck are probably not too different from those of a hen.
Su Yao hesitated, looking at the cage wrapped tightly in his arms: "Shall we have roast duck tonight?"
"Caw caw caw!"
The mother duck in the cage seemed to understand and cried out in pain.
Su Xiao felt a little reluctant: "Shall we wait a while before deciding?"
After bringing the mother duck home, Su Yao and Su Xiao began raising ducks.
Banxia and Nanxing, along with their upgraded furry companions, practiced their special abilities in the space.
Because I had things to do, time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to meet Yan Ning.
Yan Ning promised to bring a trustworthy third party to supervise, but Banxia and the others did not expect that the person she brought would be a high-ranking leader.
Seeing the nervous looks on Banxia and the others' faces, the senior leader smiled gently and said, "Are you all at ease with me supervising?"
Banxia presented Xiaoyinghua's confession and the experimental samples she had collected in the laboratory all at once, demonstrating her trust through her actions.
If even the top leaders can't be trusted, then the country is probably rotten to the core, and there's no point in trying to save it.
Yan Ning didn't look at the confession; instead, she stared blankly at the transparent glass petri dish.
The first petri dish contained human and animal test subjects.
The test subject was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, completely naked, so thin that his bones were clearly visible. This was not strange, but what was strange was that the boy's lower body was not a leg, but a crocodile tail.
A two-meter-long crocodile tail was roughly sewn onto the boy's waist, with the whitish wound and blood-soaked sutures clearly visible.
The second petri dish contains human plant experimental subjects.
The test subject was a young girl whose left hand was missing, replaced by a mutated tree branch.
The third one was still a human-animal experimental subject. This subject was a strong man whose left arm had been replaced with a cat's paw.
"These," Yan Ning's voice was a little hoarse, "were all found in the lab?"
“Yes,” Banxia nodded, “This is only part of it; the rest of us were all blown to ashes.”
"Was all the experimental data destroyed?"
"It was destroyed; it was blown to ashes along with the laboratory."
Yan Ning took a deep breath: "Thank you for your hard work. I promise you won't have made this trip for nothing!"
Having achieved their goal of coming to the S City base, Banxia and the others breathed a sigh of relief and stayed indoors for the rest of the winter.
Banxia decided to sell one more batch of vegetables and fruits at the base before leaving to exchange for more crystal cores, so she decided to go into the space to check on her recent harvest.
Under the management of the camellia plantation, the planting area presents a thriving scene.
Rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs—regardless of whether they are from the same season—all bear fruit or flowers at the same time, and plump bees occasionally flit among the greenery collecting nectar.
Banxia took a quick look around and took out the previously harvested crops to take stock.
There are no seasons in this space. Often, as soon as one crop is harvested, another batch of seeds is planted. In addition, camellias and apricots practice their supernatural abilities to accelerate growth every day, and the quantity of rice and wheat has accumulated to a huge number, not to mention vegetables with even shorter growing seasons.
Banxia had a bit of a headache. It was definitely impossible to trade them all away, otherwise even a fool would suspect that there was something strange about her.
But what's the difference between leaving it lying around and wasting it?
After hearing Banxia's dilemma, the Devouring Tree was overjoyed: "Raise fish!"
It was worried that it wouldn't have enough food after raising the sea god!
Banxia was speechless: "...Fish don't eat these!"
The Sky-Swallowing Tree was skeptical: "I've watched science videos, and most fish feed contains wheat bran and rice bran."
Banxia chased away the troublesome Devouring Tree and continued to worry.
