She followed the superhuman for a while, and her mental energy scanned many people who were still wearing several layers of thin clothing and traveling in the blizzard. Coupled with the farce that happened in the base's exchange hall earlier and what the superhuman had just said, she could almost conclude that the supplies in the B City base were running out, and those wood-type superhumans didn't even have the spare superhuman ability to grow plants like cotton.
Looking at those displaced people, Lin Ruo lowered her eyes. She had been through a blizzard herself and knew just how unbearable it was. The hardest part was having nothing to eat and no warm clothes.
Presumably, the B City base is also anxiously searching for a solution. Lin Ruo scratched her brow. The more anxious they are, the greater the probability that she will get what she wants.
Originally, she only wanted to trade with them using crystal cores. Crystal cores might be a temporary solution for them, but they were just consumables. Now it seems that she can use something else.
Although she is not a wood-type ability user, and cannot directly take out the large amount of food grown in the black soil in her space, she has many mutated plants on her mountain. She had already discovered fruits that could be used to fill her stomach, and she has stockpiled quite a lot of them in her space.
Given that those fruits function like compressed biscuits, I believe the B City base would be very willing to accept them.
There are quite a few wood-type ability users in their base. As long as they can grow the seeds from this fruit, these are not ordinary plants. They cannot survive in the soil without wood-type abilities. Once these mutated plants are planted, they will continue to grow in the soil and will not wither.
At that time, a batch of fruit can be harvested every once in a while, which is no different from the fruit trees before the apocalypse. What's more, these mutated plants produce quite a lot of fruit each time.
As long as they have the seeds and plant them well, they can multiply into a large area in a short time. Although these mutated plants still pose certain dangers, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They cannot fundamentally solve the problem of lacking resources, but at least they can save some lives.
A determined glint flashed in Lin Ruo's eyes. This thing was useless to her, but it was a rare treasure for the B City base, which was already in a shortage of supplies. As long as they realized the importance of this thing, they would definitely agree to her request.
It's just a research result; how can it compare to the lives of so many people at the base?
Jiang Yue led Lin Ruo to his office, smiling as he poured her a glass of water. "Sister Ruo, what kind of deal are you here for?"
In the brightly lit room, Lin Ruo sat on the sofa and took out a brown fruit from the backpack behind her. The fruit looked like a mango and was quite large.
“This is something I recently discovered,” Lin Ruo pushed the fruit in front of Jiang Yue. “You guys should be very interested in this. I suggest you call a wood-type ability user over now to test the fruit’s uses before we continue our discussion.”
Jiang Yue never doubted Lin Ruo's words. He knew she had no reason to lie to him. The fact that she was willing to make a trip for this meant that the fruit was very important, just like the venom sac of the killer bee last time. He hadn't forgotten how many people in the base had been spared from the torment of pain by that venom sac, and how many lives it had saved.
"Okay! Wait for me a moment."
After Jiang Yue made some operations on his terminal, he sent a message to someone, but Lin Ruo didn't care. It was either Chen Yu or Ye Lin, and they really needed to know about this.
The reason why she didn't plan to contact them directly at first was probably because Jiang Yue was quite sensible and always knew where her triggers were.
The other party acted quickly. Jiang Yue and Lin Ruo only waited in the office for a few minutes before Chen Yu and Ye Lin walked in with a level 3 wood-type ability user.
Lin Ruo raised her head and scanned the wood-type ability user with her mental energy. The crystal core in her brain was almost full, and her mental energy was about the same. She would soon be upgraded to level 4. This should be the most powerful wood-type ability user in the B City base.
Such strength would naturally be able to detect the fruit's effects.
Ye Lin and Chen Yu had met Lin Ruo many times. After pushing open the door, they greeted her, and Lin Ruo nodded in response.
The wood-type ability user looked at Lin Ruo curiously. She had been in the B City base for quite some time, spending her days either recovering her abilities or growing crops. Only now had she met the famous Lin Ruo, whom so many people called Sister Ruo, yet she hadn't expected her to be so young.
At this moment, Jiang Yue pushed the fruit on the table in front of her, saying, "Take a look and see what this thing is for."
On the way here, the wood-type ability user also heard about the purpose of this trip. He dared not be negligent. He picked up the two palm-sized fruits from the table, placed them in his hands, and a ball of deep green light completely enveloped the fruits.
The three people beside him stood still, looking at the wood-type ability user with serious expressions.
Lin Ruo remained seated on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the wood-type ability user, but her mind was preoccupied with how to articulate her demands.
The testing process was short, taking only a minute. When the wood-type ability user opened his eyes again, his gaze towards Chen Yu was full of light. "Captain, this fruit can actually satisfy hunger! It's incredibly filling. One fruit should be enough for an adult man to eat for a day, and it doesn't have any negative effects. It's completely different from the mutated fruits we obtained before..."
When the superhuman said that the fruit could satisfy hunger, all three men in the room turned to look at Lin Ruo on the sofa, their eyes gleaming.
The wood-type ability user hadn't thought too far ahead yet; he was simply delighted by the fruit's effects. However, being in a high position, he naturally realized the fruit's value. If they could plant a grove of such fruit trees in the base, their long-standing problem of supplies would be greatly alleviated.
Jiang Yue, in particular, never held back in front of Lin Ruo, and directly asked her with a smile, "Sister Ruo, how many more fruits like you do you have? You are truly a lucky star for our base."
Lin Ruo looked at Ye Lin, "Not many, but there are still a few hundred. I'd like to make a deal with you using these fruits. I wonder if you'd be willing."
Ye Lin turned to look at Chen Yu, who nodded and led the still excited wood-type ability user away from Jiang Yue's office.
Now, only Jiang Yue, Ye Lin, and Lin Ruo remained in the office.
Ye Lin also sat on the sofa, his eyes fixed on Lin Ruo. "Tell me, what kind of deal do you want to make?"
In fact, Ye Lin was also very curious. With Lin Ruo's abilities, there was nothing she couldn't get her hands on. He really couldn't think of anything in their base that could attract her.
