Chapter 322: Leopard Laughter Like Thunder

"Quick! Bring a flowerpot over! A plant with extreme research value has been discovered in the mine; it can be used for grafting!"

Having agreed on a price with Master Fuli, Wang Qiqi gave orders into her walkie-talkie, telling the logistics support team stationed outside the mine to find a flowerpot and a brush to prepare for the plant's transfer.

"You stay quiet for a moment, it still has more to say." An Sheng glanced at Wang Qiqi and said, "The musk deer still had words left unfinished, and the look of wild joy on your face almost scared it into peeing."

This mine could collapse at any time. Wang Qiqi stopped other logistics personnel from entering, while she herself injected a dose of spiritual particle agent, transforming into a leopard-girl, and went into the cave with Master Fuli to find the treasure the musk deer had mentioned.

Wang Qiqi, transformed into a leopard-girl, was emotionally agitated, her body exuding the ferocity of a carnivore, which frightened the herbivorous musk deer, who thought the other side was preparing to cross the bridge and burn the boat, intending to swallow it alive.

"What else does it have to say? We can just send it to the hospital to wear a diaper in a while."

Hearing what Master Fuli said, Wang Qiqi looked the musk deer up and down, a look like that of a lecher appearing in her eyes; she was just short of letting out a sinister laugh.

"The musk deer just said that spiritual particle plants like this are not an isolated case, but a group phenomenon, and the probability of them appearing in the Qin Ling Mountains and the surrounding areas is extremely high." An Sheng said with a solemn expression, "There is something strange in the Qin Ling Mountains!"

"The musk deer has already found six spirit plants; powerful carnivores must be devouring them by the dozen!"

Seeing Master Fuli acting as a translator, telling her about the changes in the Qin Ling Mountains, Wang Qiqi was stunned, as if she had thought of something, and frowned as she looked at the musk deer.

"There is a large quantity of spiritual particle plants?"

"Woof, woof..." the musk deer said dejectedly.

After hearing this, An Sheng translated: "The musk deer says there are some in the forest, and then says, it can't tell us, because you will run into their homes and take away their iron pots as well."

The musk deer's meaning was very simple: telling Master Fuli about this was fine.

But this matter couldn't be told to humans, because once humans entered the mountains, it wouldn't be just picking spirit plants; they would take away the very pots they used to cook their meals.

In other words.

The information that there were spiritual particle plants in the Qin Ling Mountains wasn't actually a secret. As long as it was a spirit beast, it could learn about it from other wild spirit beasts, but they also had a tacit agreement not to tell those greedy humans.

An Sheng didn't actually care much about spirit plants or not; relying on spirit plants to strengthen the physique was not as stable or fast as adding points himself.

What An Sheng truly cared about was, if everything the musk deer said was true,

then... did that mean there were actually many spirit beasts hidden in the Qin Ling Mountains?

But they were all deliberately avoiding humans, worried that humans would discover the secrets in the Qin Ling Mountains and take their pots away.

"... So it was because of spirit plants?"

Wang Qiqi looked at the musk deer, then turned her gaze to Master Fuli, complaining helplessly:

"I can only say they think too much. Just the consumption of spirit plants in Changancheng alone, supplied to us and to research projects, is calculated in kilograms."

"Consuming eighty or ninety kilograms a day, who would their little bit of wild spirit plants be enough for? If the Longevity Club or other national research groups knew, they would think our technology was backward, and that we were crying while wearing split-crotch pants!"

Although the Xia Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, the population and the territory under actual control are also large, and the Anquan Bureau is very busy.

Wild spiritual particle plants, while not completely looked down upon, are not worth a second glance unless they are on the way, unless they have scientific research value.

Wang Qiqi herself couldn't say exactly how many national spirit plant cultivation greenhouses and unmanned vertical plant factories there were, but just the number of people employed in the spiritual particle plant industry was no less than 150,000.

Worrying about humans competing with spirit beasts for food—one can only say that the spirit beasts don't understand the power of technology.

"However, with the musk deer's lead, we now understand why the number of spirit beasts in the Qin Ling area has shown explosive growth in the last half year."

"If it's because of spiritual particle plants, it explains the reason very well." Wang Qiqi looked at Master Fuli and said with a face full of conviction:

"There really are many spirit beasts in the forest. If Master Fuli is bored and itching for action, give us a call, and we will take you into the mountains to find spirit beasts."

An Sheng: "..."

You are clearly changing the subject with that sentence, right?

The growth in the number of spirit beasts in the Qin Ling Mountains was a problem that had puzzled loggers before.

But as the musk deer knelt and licked Master Fuli, informing everyone of the forest's secrets, the problem of the explosive growth in spirit beasts was solved, but a new problem had arrived.

Why would the number of wild spiritual particle plants show an abnormal increase in the last half year?

Other regions didn't have such a phenomenon.

However, Wang Qiqi didn't want to delve deeper into this topic and prepared to report the information to her superiors.

…………

After finishing the picking of the spiritual particle plants, Wang Qiqi escorted the musk deer onto the helicopter.

The musk deer, sent for emergency medical treatment, was also wearing an adult diaper after the surgery and was sent to the Jin Qianbao's ward.

And the more than fifty grams of musk in its scent pouch all fell into Master Fuli's pocket.

"Heh."

The Jin Qianbao, lying on the bed and scrolling through a tablet, took one look at the musk deer's medical record and immediately laughed like thunder, pointing his finger at the musk deer, which was under anesthesia after surgery, and began to mock it.

The musk deer was dazed and wooden, clearly not yet out of the anesthetic state.

…………

"Master Fuli, do you want a midnight snack?" Lin Bingyun looked at the time on her wrist; it was now 5:00 AM. She opened a can of iced cola and asked Master Fuli.

Master Fuli's life didn't have any schedules or agendas; everything was arranged as things came up.

"I won't eat; I'll take a bath, wash off all the coal dust on my body, take the potted plant, and go back."

An Sheng rubbed his belly; he didn't feel hungry, so he prepared to go home, take a bath, and bring the tea tree he had left at home back to Xue Qing's dormitory to sleep.

"Okay."

Lin Bingyun nodded and began to arrange the work, notifying the nannies at home to start running the water and helping Master Fuli pack the tea tree to be sent to the car in a while.

Lin Bingyun parked the car and picked up the weapon box Master Fuli had picked up tonight, placing it in the storage room modified from a mother-child parking space. The things inside were becoming more and more numerous, from machetes to chainsaws, and then to fish-stunning devices, glue, and long and short guns—everything was available.

If any public security officer were to check here, they would inevitably receive a notice of criticism.

It's the Anquan Bureau's business; you should meddle less.

"Hmm?"

An Sheng, who had returned and was preparing to take a bath, saw something wrong in his dormitory. He stopped his steps, walked to his bed, and with a confused face, raised his hand to compare his height with the mattress.

After comparing, An Sheng was surprised to find that he was actually half a head shorter than his bed.

"Housekeeper Lin, I'm shorter than my bed! And why are those foreigners here too?"

"Oh, they were all sent together." Lin Bingyun said with a face full of "it's only natural."

"The mattress is a Black Label stock item; it's the mattress we could arrange most quickly. Including the base, the total thickness should be 52 centimeters. Do you need to pull out a Lu Ban ruler?"

An Sheng: "..."

Do I have to ride... ride a big horse to get on the mattress?

Good heavens, I have to rock-climb just to get into bed.

Lin Bingyun seemed to guess what An Sheng was thinking. She stepped forward to Master Fuli, picked him up, and very smoothly placed him on the mattress.

"Hmm?"

"It's quite comfortable. If you have money, get one for Xue Qing. Housekeeper Lin, send me the link to look at."

An Sheng glanced at the price and threw his phone away.

"A bamboo mat that pinches hair is not impossible to sleep on."
