Chapter 243 - 174: Assisting the Investigation, Breeding Work (2)
By now, Wang Jun was also awake. Seeing Ren Yuanyang’s message, he immediately replied, "Brother Yang, you’re up early!"
"There’s not much of a nightlife these days. Sleeping early and waking up early is good for you!" Ren Yuanyang replied with a smile.
"That’s true. How about I send you guys a few computers? They have all kinds of entertainment from before, like movies and games!" Wang Jun suggested.
Ren Yuanyang was taken aback for a moment, his eyes lighting up. "That’s fantastic! We’ll finally have some form of recreation. By the way, do those computers contain any pre-deluge science and knowledge?"
Wang Jun was also surprised for a moment, then replied, "We have backups and can copy them onto the computers, but their storage isn’t big enough. We can only copy a portion of it!"
Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "In that case, just copy over some of the more common knowledge for now."
"Alright, we’ll get it all copied before the trade and bring the computers over," Wang Jun agreed.
"I won’t take them for free," Ren Yuanyang said after a moment’s thought. "I’ll give you an extra three hundred Evolution Potions."
"As much as I’d like those three hundred Evolution Potions, I just said I was giving them to you, so they’re a gift." Wang Jun shook his head.
"Then let’s consider it an exchange of gifts. Peach Blossom Base is giving you three hundred Evolution Potions!" Ren Yuanyang rephrased.
Wang Jun was stunned for a second, then he smiled and shook his head. "Alright, an exchange of gifts it is!"
"Has Captain Wang used an Evolution Potion himself?" Ren Yuanyang asked curiously.
"Of course. That Advanced Evolution Potion you gave us is incredible! I didn’t feel even a hint of pain during the whole evolution process," Wang Jun said with feeling.
Ren Yuanyang couldn’t tell if Wang Jun had actually used one or was just trying to placate him.
"Oh, right. I also awakened a special-type Superpower: Electric-Type!" Wang Jun’s next message read.
Ren Yuanyang was a little surprised. "Congratulations, Captain Wang! Special types aren’t easy to awaken."
"Tell me about it. Forget special types; even awakening a basic Five Elements Type is difficult!" Wang Jun lamented.
"I’ll have to see your Electric-Type Superpower for myself sometime," Ren Yuanyang said with a smile.
"The Aircraft Carrier Base welcomes Brother Yang for a visit anytime!" Wang Jun immediately extended an invitation.
"Alright. I’ll definitely come visit your base when I have the time," Ren Yuanyang accepted.
’This wasn’t just him being polite; he really did want to see Wang Jun’s Electric-Type Superpower.’
’His Chaos-Type Superpower needed to come into contact with other types of superpowers to be able to replicate them. Trying to figure them out on his own would take far too long.’
After finishing the chat, Ren Yuanyang got up and headed for the pigsty. Since Hua Lingfang was the one who primarily brewed the potions, he would naturally be tasked with preparing these nine hundred doses of licorice soup.
When he arrived at the pigsty, Hua Lingfang was in the middle of cleaning.
Because the pigs’ growth rate had accelerated, they produced a tremendous amount of manure each day.
Fortunately, Ren Yuanyang had enhanced the spider plants yesterday, which had absorbed the foul odors.
Hua Lingfang had brought several buckets of water from outside to wash down the pigsty. The dirty water was then channeled through pipes to the roots of the Banyan Forest, providing it with some fertilizer.
"Chief, what brings you here?" Hua Lingfang asked, looking up at Ren Yuanyang in surprise.
"I need you for something," Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "It looks like we really do need to recruit more help."
"This cleaning work is simple enough. After becoming an Evolver, I feel even stronger than I did in my youth!" Hua Lingfang replied with a smile.
"The tasks may be simple, but they still take up someone’s time. Now that a new business deal has come up, I need you to brew potions. I can’t work you like two people," Ren Yuanyang said, shaking his head. "Besides, the herbs need tending to as well. You can’t possibly manage it all alone!"
Hua Lingfang paused, then nodded and asked curiously, "How many seeds is the Aircraft Carrier Base trading us this time?"
"This time, they’re trading cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese—six types of livestock and poultry!" Ren Yuanyang replied.
Hearing this, Hua Lingfang grew excited. "That’s wonderful! Our base’s meat selection will be much more diverse!"
"Mhm, so I’ll need you to brew nine hundred doses of the potion," Ren Yuanyang nodded, then added, "Actually, don’t make nine hundred. Just go ahead and brew a thousand."
"Understood!" Hua Lingfang nodded and headed toward the lab.
Ren Yuanyang, for his part, went to find Lu Jiamei and gave her an order: "Transfer two people from Si Youqin’s group to work at the farm."
Lu Jiamei frowned slightly. "Are you sure you want them working at the farm?"
Only a few core members knew what was going on at the Peach Blossom Base’s farm. Although Si Youqin and her people patrolled the surrounding area, they had never actually been inside.
The growth rate of the livestock and poultry on the farm was absurdly fast; even Lu Jiamei and the others had been in disbelief for a long time after finding out.
Although Ren Yuanyang had never explained it, Lu Jiamei and the others knew it was definitely related to him, so they didn’t press the issue.
Lu Jiamei was clearly hesitant to let Si Youqin and the others in on this secret.
Ren Yuanyang replied with a smile, "This is something we won’t be able to hide forever. Besides, even if they find out, they have no way of relaying the information to the outside world. There’s no need to worry about security."
Lu Jiamei nodded.
"Besides," Ren Yuanyang continued, "after this trade with the Aircraft Carrier Base, the farm is going to keep expanding. Elder Hua simply won’t have enough time to manage it."
"I understand. I’ll go find Si Youqin right away!" Lu Jiamei acknowledged before turning to leave.
