Zhao Sihai's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent room!
Crystal core!
This word, which only exists in doomsday and fantasy novels, has now crashed into everyone's cognition in an extremely real and shocking way!
It’s not like they haven’t thought about it, but who dares to think about it?!
That's a crystal core! It's a legendary object that holds mysterious energy and can completely transform a person!
Li Mingxuan and the other two suddenly stopped breathing, their eyes fixed on the rings on their fingers, and then suddenly turned to Jiang Zhou, their eyes bursting with unprecedented fanaticism and greed!
If this is really a crystal core...
What they just devoured was a power that was enough to drive the entire world crazy!
Jiang Zhou remained silent as he faced four gazes that almost pierced through him.
He had also guessed so, but who could verify it?
If that's true, how could Yu Bai, an ordinary rural girl, have it?
Silence once again became the sharpest weapon, cutting and amplifying the speculations and desires in the hearts of several people until they boiled!
"Brother Zhou..." Li Mingxuan's voice was dry as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper. "What... is this?"
Jiang Zhou finally spoke, his voice flat: "It doesn't matter what it is."
He stretched out his ring-wearing index finger and tapped the table lightly, making a soft "thump" sound.
“What matters is what it can give us.”
yes.
It doesn’t matter what it is, what matters is that this thing has truly transformed them.
Moreover, it seems that only they can get this thing from Yu Bai.
The other side.
Yu Bai saw a few people off and gently closed the door.
She took a long breath and rubbed her stiff cheeks.
Just then—
“Ring, ring, ring—!”
The shrill ringing of a cell phone shattered the silence in the room without warning.
Yu Bai's heart skipped a beat and she picked up her phone. The three words "Li Baizhong" flashing on the screen made her instantly suppress all her emotions, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
She quickly picked up the phone and said in a sweet voice, "Professor Li."
An old voice, full of energy but with a hint of complaint, immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Yu girl! Do you still remember my old bones?"
Yu Bai was startled.
"Professor Li, I..."
"I what me!"
Li Baizhong on the phone snorted, his tone sounding as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"If your food doesn't arrive soon, I won't be able to finish my meal! What I've eaten these past two days is like chewing wax! You've really spoiled Professor Li."
boom!
Li Baizhong's words made Yu Bai suddenly feel a strong sense of regret and self-blame!
How could she forget about this!
Previously, most of the dishes to Professor Li’s house were delivered personally by his eldest brother.
The Li family is the Yu family's true benefactor, in every sense.
Recently, my eldest brother went to the provincial capital to treat his leg, so the job of delivering vegetables should fall on her.
I sent it once a few days ago, but I was so busy with the chicken farm these days that I completely forgot about it!
This is simply not right.
Yu Bai quickly said, "Professor Li, it's my fault. I've been so busy these past few days, I..."
"Tomorrow! I'll deliver it to you tomorrow morning!" Yu Bai promised firmly, "From now on, I'll personally deliver it to you every three days. I won't forget again!"
"Well, that's about right!" Li Baizhong's tone immediately revealed satisfaction and joy when he heard that fresh vegetables would be available tomorrow. He said crisply, "Okay, I'll wait. Hang up!"
“Beep…beep…”
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Yu Bai also hung up.
Chicken farms must be put on the agenda immediately!
Not only that, the existing vegetable fields are too small and the output cannot keep up, so large-scale greenhouse vegetables must be developed immediately!
The night fades away and the morning light appears.
Before daybreak, Yu Bai's figure appeared in the vibrant vegetable field.
All the regret and self-blame from last night have now turned into the motivation to act decisively!
She moved very quickly, her fingers flying between the emerald green vines and bright red fruits.
Cucumbers with thorns and flowers, plump and round tomatoes, grapes as glittering as jade...
Soon, the two large bamboo baskets were filled to the brim and weighed heavily on her shoulders.
Yu Bai didn't delay for a moment and walked straight towards Professor Li Baizhong's house.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Yu Bai knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was the aunt hired by the Li family to help with cooking. When she saw Yu Bai and the two large baskets of juicy vegetables on her shoulders, her eyes lit up instantly!
"Oh! It's Yu girl!"
"Finally, you're here! The professor's been raving about your food these past few days!"
Yu Bai placed the dishes at the kitchen door and smiled apologetically, "I was busy yesterday and forgot about it, so I brought it here today. Is the professor... up yet?"
"Not yet. Mr. Li doesn't sleep much, but he likes to stay in bed."
"That's good." Yu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to disturb the professor's rest because of such a small matter.
She handed over another basket and said in a crisp tone: "Auntie, please take care of the vegetables. I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first!"
Before she finished her words, she turned around without any hesitation.
"Hey, girl, why don't you come in and have a drink of water..." Aunt Wang's words were interrupted by her hurried gestures.
Professor Li's side has been settled, but another thing is waiting for her!
