Zou Jingjing fell silent, feeling guilty, as she hadn't kept up with the wild goat.
Fu Yang knew what was going on as soon as he saw her expression. But since they were all family, he couldn't really blame her.
Instead, she patiently said, "Jingjing, I know she doesn't have spiritual power, but so what? How could someone who can kill a fourth-level mutated wild goat with a single strike be an ordinary person? Can you please stop causing me trouble? Our competition is this afternoon, and we must advance to level four no matter what! We'll do whatever it takes!"
"We need her right now. If you send her away, what will happen to our game this afternoon? Can you be sure we can win?"
"You know how capable Miss Lin is, why are you being difficult at this time?"
Zou Jing was unconvinced and shouted angrily, "So what? Does that mean we can't advance without her? Who does she think she is! Besides, Captain, our Flamingo Legion is already the most outstanding among the level 5 teams. We only have one or two opponents. What's there to be afraid of?"
Fu Yang: "You're right, but we can't let our guard down. Wu Yongde from the Blazing Sun Legion has the strongest A-level mental strength among us. He will be a formidable opponent in this competition. I only recruited Miss Lin into our team to increase our chances of winning..."
Fu Yang spoke sincerely, hoping that Zou Jingjing could change her temper and show some remorse. Unexpectedly, Zou Jingjing chuckled softly upon hearing this: "Captain, if that's what you're worried about, then I think you don't need to worry."
Fu Yang frowned. "What do you mean by this?"
Zou Jingjing said smugly, "Because Wu Yongde and his group offended the Cheetah Legion, they were seriously injured by them just a few days ago. They haven't fully recovered yet, and now they have to face the Cheetah Legion again."
"They might use this opportunity to deal with them, and maybe the Blazing Sun Mercenary Group will disappear from the scene, haha."

When Lin Yiran returned to the shop, the sun had just risen. Looking at the time, it was around nine in the morning, time to serve customers.
Lin Fu opened the shop early. He'd been making so much money lately that he was even more eager to open the shop than Lin Yiran, afraid of missing a single customer. After Lin Yiran returned, she first went to the warehouse to pile up the collected ingredients, and then started making breakfast. She made several portions, because she was now covering all the employees' meals, so Xiao Hui and Xiao Fang would also come over early for breakfast.
Customers have already arrived at the store.
Lin Fu is making kebabs for customers.
Just then, a customer saw the staff meal Lin Yiran was holding: stir-fried pork with chili peppers, dry-pot green beans, and some rice porridge. He leaned against the window and asked, "Do you sell this? It looks delicious!"
Lin Yiran smiled and said, "It's not served yet, but we have pre-made boxed meals in our shop. They contain vegetables and rice, just like what I made, except the porridge is replaced with white rice. Would you like to try some?"
Customer: "Okay, give me one."
Lin Yiran then took out the special preservation space button she had bought for a huge sum of two million. The last space button belonged to Jin Shuo, and she thought it worked quite well, so she bought another one.
I made several hundred extra boxed meals and stored them inside; they can be kept for up to two months.
The store was too small, and the food would spoil if left outside, so she simply put all the boxed meals into the storage compartment and took them out and arranged them neatly when she bought them.
Interstellar people all use spatial storage devices to store things, so they trust this thing and won't say much. Some customers even reminded Lin Yiran to make extra portions of spicy hot pot and store them in the spatial storage device, so it would be more convenient to take them out and sell them when there are many people.
Lin still didn't take the customer's opinion into account, because the vegetables in the spicy hot pot wouldn't taste good if they were soaked until soft.
The boxed lunch is fine; it can be eaten after heating it up.
He took out a box and handed it to the customer opposite him. The customer quickly opened the box and saw that it was full of food and vegetables, with a fragrant aroma of mixed vegetables and meat.
The boxed meal contained everything: braised chicken with potatoes, stir-fried green beans, and braised bok choy, with rice as the main dish. The customer eagerly shoveled the food down his throat and ate with great relish, while a robot brought him a glass of freshly made lemonade.
Lin Yiran was pleased to see that the customers were enjoying their food.
This means that barring any unforeseen circumstances, her business will only get better and better.
Unexpectedly, just as the dishes were ready, someone rushed over in a panic. The first thing he did upon entering was to kneel down on the ground with a "thud," which startled Lin Fu, who was collecting money nearby.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Lin Fu asked.
The customer sensed something was amiss, so he stopped eating and pretended to drink water while watching the girl.
"Sister Lin, Sister Lin, I beg you, please save my older brother! My older brother, he's dying! He's about to be beaten to death!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yiran quickly put down what she was holding and went outside to see: "Xiaoman, how come it's you?" She hurriedly helped Xiaoman up and asked her what had happened.
Then I heard Xiaoman sobbing as she recounted the whole story, though she was too anxious to explain the details clearly.
However, Lin Yiran still managed to piece together one piece of information: "You mean after you told me in the Forest of Hope that they also had their eyes on that S-rank mission, the Cheetah Legion came to cause you trouble?"
Xiaoman nodded: "Yes, but not entirely. Anyway, they said we shouldn't have told you, Sister Lin, and we shouldn't have given you that bomb, which led to the death of Zhou Qi's older brother, Zhou Ling."
"No, Zhou Ling died from being bitten by a wild animal. What does that have to do with us? Why did they hit my older brother?"
"My brother was seriously injured last time and he hasn't recovered yet. This time, he even threatened to kill us in the competition. Sister Lin, I'm really scared. Please help me, please help my brother, okay?" Xiaoman cried her eyes out, snot and tears streaming down her face, and she lowered her head guiltily.
Although her older brother had said it had nothing to do with Sister Lin and that it was their own responsibility that led to this disaster, she still felt that Sister Lin was involved, very much so. It wasn't that she resented Sister Lin. It's just that sometimes you need outside help. Sister Lin is so capable and kind; if she knew, she definitely wouldn't abandon them.
Moreover, she felt that Sister Lin had an obligation to know the truth. Whether or not to help was her own choice, and she wouldn't blame her if she didn't help, since Lin Yiran had saved her life.
Lin Yiran's face turned ashen.
She thought the Cheetah Legion would disband after Zhou Ling's death, but she didn't expect it to still be alive. And instead of seeking revenge, it went to bully the weak.
Lin Yiran despises this kind of behavior the most!
She's determined to handle this!
