Chapter 340: Discovered Farming Base

In the surveillance footage, a field of glowing wheat was being wrapped by a man's Gang Qi, finally crushed into piles of white flour.

Then another man urged his Gang Qi to compress the flour into blocks, stacked together like bricks.

"They're actually processing flour here?" Zhang Yu thought to himself. "Although I don't know what variety it is, it seems that like Tianjing rice, this flour is no ordinary product."

Fuji, also using the power of the ritual, saw this scene and thought, "So they ship it in this shape? Hmm, it indeed saves space and is easier to transport."

In Zhang Yu's mind, the five big characters "Dark Farming Realm" kept flashing.

Dark Farming Realm — this was the dark domain that Zhang Pianpian had warned her little brother Zhang Yu to never touch on his very first day at Ten Thousand Laws University City.

After nearly a year of living in the university city, Zhang Yu understood very well that farming here was a dangerous act that severely violated school rules and the law. Once caught, it would result in losing everything, being drained of every shred of flesh, blood, and soul.

"It seems they aren't just processing flour."

"Could they also be farming here?"

"This is utterly audacious."

However, the more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Huilong Garden was built on a spiritual vein, containing abundant spiritual energy, making it a very suitable place for farming.

He also recalled this cemetery renovation project and thought to himself, "Could the damage to the cemetery this time also be related to the Dark Farming Realm?"

Fuji agreed, "It's very possible. After all, farmers here have their heads on the line; killing people to silence them is just routine."

"When they encounter arrests, it's not surprising how fiercely they resist. They'd rather die than be caught, so it's normal for the cemetery to get damaged during fights."

Zhang Yu watched the bricks of flour in the surveillance footage, his expression changing continuously. His brows sometimes relaxed, sometimes furrowed, his eyes full of hesitation and reluctance.

Fuji seemed to sense Zhang Yu's inner conflict and asked, "What? You want to steal this shipment?"

Zhang Yu said matter-of-factly, "In the university city, who wouldn't be tempted by so much flour? But... I'm afraid it's too dangerous."

Zhang Yu looked at the flour in the surveillance footage, recalling the days when he had meals every day, and felt saliva almost uncontrollably forming in his mouth.

"If I report it, what reward can I get?"

"But how should I explain how I found it?"

"I discovered it through the power of the ritual. That's a bit hard to explain."

Over the next two days, Zhang Yu occasionally used the surveillance camera to observe the flour processing, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, thinking about what he should do.

Fuji said, "We still lack information. We don't know how many of them there are, nor how strong they are, nor what to do with the flour once we get it, nor what the consequences of reporting would be."

"Maybe... talk to your sister about it."

"She's on the university city patrol now, right? She definitely knows more about the Dark Farming Realm than we do."

"Just ask her, say you found flour on the construction site, and see what she says."

Zhang Yu thought it over and felt that Fuji made a lot of sense. This matter seemed like something he could discuss with Zhang Pianpian.

So that night, while Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan were both away, Zhang Yu placed the white powder he had picked up in front of Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Yu said, "Sis, look at this I found. Is it flour?"

Zhang Pianpian looked at it curiously, dipped her finger in the flour, licked it slightly, then exclaimed in surprise, "It really is flour. Diqi wheat with 99% purity."

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully, "What does 99% purity mean?"

Zhang Pianpian explained, "Flour from the origin usually has purity above 99%, with few impurities."

"But once it's distributed, the sellers will add stuff to it to make more money before selling."

"For those with some conscience, they add some medicinal powder, some cement."

"For the unscrupulous... then they add anything."

"Generally, by the time it reaches individual customers, if the purity is above 50%, it's considered good stuff."

Hearing Zhang Pianpian rattle off the details, Zhang Yu thought to himself that he had indeed asked the right person.

Zhang Pianpian then asked, "Where did you find this flour?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu say it was the construction site at Huilong Garden, Zhang Pianpian immediately said, "Take me to the scene."

So under Zhang Pianpian's swift and decisive action, the two arrived at the cemetery construction site moments later.
