Chapter 1107: The Evolved Wolf with Two Wild Ducks Hanging Around Its Neck

"Director, Little Yu from Chonglian has arrived."

Yan Yue pushed open the door. Xia Qing saw Yu Wenchuang walk in, and a strong sense of discomfort rose in her heart.

Yu Wenchuang was wearing a suit-style protective suit today. Whether in style, material, or grade, it was more than one tier better than the one Zhou Zhaoping often wore. Wearing this protective suit, paired with a pair of height-increasing protective boots, gave Yu Wenchuang, who was just over one meter seventy tall, the appearance of one meter eighty.

What made Xia Qing uncomfortable was not that Yu Wenchuang still had the mind to wear height-increasing shoes in such dangerous times—Xin Yu had long complained to her about this—but that through his fair, clean face, Xia Qing saw Yu Dongming, who had come to Northern Zone One's territory half a year ago.

At that time, Yu Dongming also had such a face, without a single wrinkle.

This made Xia Qing think of the Yu family's research on using living embryos to stimulate evolutionary abilities, and she wished she could kick Yu Wenchuang out with one foot.

But Northern Zone One still needed to purchase agricultural machinery from Chonglian, which was currently controlled by the Yu family, so Xia Qing couldn't actually kick him out.

Yu Wenchuang nodded politely to Yan Yue to thank him, and after entering the office, looked at Xia Qing and complained half-jokingly, "Director Xia, it's really not easy to see you."

Uh...

The staff in the outer room heard this and felt a chill, exchanging glances with each other.

Xia Qing wouldn't bother with such nonsense. With an expressionless face, she raised her hand to invite him to sit, then asked directly, "Did you come to see me about something?"

How could someone just walk in, not even take a sip of water or say two words, and immediately start talking business?!

Yu Wenchuang showed a tolerant yet helpless expression and asked gently, "What were you busy with just now, Director Xia? Inspecting the farmland?"

Knowing she has a boyfriend, Yu Wenchuang still dares to put on this attitude. It seems Yang Jin, this shield, only works when poked right in front of him.

Xia Qing, with mud stuck to her protective boots, wanted to return the gift. "Planting potatoes."

"No wonder Base Commander Hui San praised you at the conference. Your hands-on work attitude and style are truly admirable." Yu Wenchuang gazed at Xia Qing with gentle focus, as if he truly admired her. "I heard you're planning to build a laboratory in your territory for researching crop cultivation and soil quality?"

Xia Qing raised her eyelids and looked at Yu Wenchuang expressionlessly.

There was no air conditioning in this room. The faint coolness seeping in from the outer room couldn't dispel the indoor stuffiness and smell of manure. Yu Wenchuang, wearing a suit, had already started sweating.

However, he pretended not to care at all, only staring intently at Xia Qing. "The automatic door Little Yu asked me to bring over—is that what you wanted? A laboratory is different from ordinary buildings; the three-protection requirements are very high. If you don't mind, I can have my company's people design and build you a few professional laboratories, fully equipped."

A professional laboratory costs at least a million. To knock on her idol's door, Chonglian really spared no expense.

Xia Qing refused directly. "No need. I've already purchased a full set of building materials and equipment from Territory Seven."

Hearing Xia Qing mention Territory Seven on her own, Yu Wenchuang leaned forward slightly, his smile so greasy it could drip. "I heard Director Xia's territory has over a mu of terraced fields with soil rich in Yi elements, which could be used as breeding fields? Third Brother helping you build the laboratory shows he has high hopes for you, hoping you can cultivate better quality crop seeds, right?"

Xia Qing did not deny it.

"Like Xin Yu, you prefer a territory with a quiet living environment, so you've never recruited people into your territory. However, besides cultivating high-quality crops, you still have to take care of the ordinary farmland in your territory. Don't you find it tedious, boring, and a waste of time?"

Yu Wenchuang winked at Xia Qing, giving her an expression that said 'I understand how you feel.' "Do you want to install an automated water-fertilizer integrated system? Once installed, the time saved can be used to practice shooting skills. I believe with your potential, you'll soon become Hui Cheng's finest sniper."

If not for Sheep Boss who likes riding a bicycle to fetch water, Xia Qing would really be tempted by this proposal. "Little Yu may not know, but I'm a high-level strength evolver. Fetching water for irrigation and fertilizing are entertainment activities that bring me joy in body and mind. What official business did you come to see me about today?"

When Xia Qing casually mentioned she was a high-level evolver, Yu Wenchuang's expression twisted for a moment. He quickly adjusted his expression. "Director Xia's entertainment activities are indeed unique. I came this time hoping Director Xia can take me to meet Third Brother. As long as you can get me into Territory Seven, even if I don't get to see Third Brother, I'll be endlessly grateful."

Endlessly grateful, of course, not just verbally.

Xia Qing shook her head. "I didn't do my job well a few days ago and angered the Lord of Territory Seven. I can't get into Territory Seven at all now. Is there anything else, Little Yu?"

Yu Wenchuang didn't believe Xia Qing couldn't get into Territory Seven, but since she refused so decisively, he didn't press further. He stood up and handed the exquisitely packaged box he'd brought in to Xia Qing. "These are hazelnut mushrooms I brought. I hope Young Lady Xia won't find them beneath her."

Xia Qing certainly found them beneath her. "The day before yesterday, Yang Jin couldn't barter for them, so he ordered hazelnut mushrooms directly from Bai San. They'll be delivered tomorrow."

Yu Wenchuang's hand tightened slightly, his smile turning somewhat bitter. "Young Lady Xia has good taste. Yang Jin is indeed a fine romantic partner. But have you thought about why the calculating Yang Jin would come after you?"

Before Xia Qing could answer, Yu Wenchuang lowered his voice and continued, "Yang Jin rushed to Blaze a few days ago to loot a burning house, which has already angered the vengeful Fire Phoenix. Once Fire Phoenix catches her breath, do you think she'll directly retaliate against Green Dragon, or take her anger out on you, who already has a grudge against Blaze's vice-captain Shan Ying?"

"Young Lady Xia, this is the eleventh year of the catastrophe now." After saying this with deep worry, Yu Wenchuang placed the hazelnut mushrooms in front of Xia Qing and turned to leave the Ninth Center.

Half an hour later, Chonglian's helicopter took off from Territory Eight and returned to the Chonglian Group.

In the evening, after hearing Xia Qing recount Yu Wenchuang's performance, Xin Yu reminded her, "When Yu Dongming and his wife had their eyes on Yan Long back then, Yu Wenchuang's opposition was extremely strong. It seems this time, he's taken a fancy to you himself. He'll probably come back to disgust you."

Yu Wenchuang's attitude was indeed somewhat disgusting. Xia Qing didn't want to mention him again. "Has your ground eagle defecated yet?"

Xin Yu answered, "It did. What came out were individual dung balls, with qiang grass seeds wrapped inside. Have the squirrels in your territory defecated too?"

"The big ones are done. The small ones still have hard lumps in their intestines; tomorrow should be about right." Xia Qing saw a message pop up on her phone screen, ended the casual chat with her friend, stood up, and looked toward the back window.

Soon, Wolf Lao Er with a satchel hanging around its neck appeared in Xia Qing's field of vision.

When Xia Qing went out to welcome Wolf Lao Er, the Broken-Waist Wolf, which had finished playing at the north gate, appeared before Xia Qing.

Xia Qing carefully looked at the rope tied around its neck, which bound two wild ducks, and sincerely exclaimed, "Broken-Waist, you're amazing! You've actually learned to tie a knot!"

The Broken-Waist Wolf bared its mouth, revealing its adorable, snow-white little fang tips.

When Xia Qing was organizing and submitting the video list of the Broken-Waist Wolf's learning content to her idol, she didn't remember it having watched any videos specifically about tying knots...

And also...

"This rope of yours isn't taken from my storeroom, is it? Do I have such a short rope in my storeroom?"

The Broken-Waist Wolf didn't want to answer this question. It lifted its nose to sniff, turned around to push aside the gauze curtain of the sheep pen, and tried to go in for a look.

Xia Qing immediately blocked it. "I've raised another new green-light herbivore, but it's very timid. Don't go in and scare it. Come inside and watch TV."

The Broken-Waist Wolf stared at the little yellow calf squeezed next to Sheep Boss for a few seconds before rinsing its paws under the eaves. After pushing the door open and going inside, it stood next to Xia Qing's protective suit and raised its two front paws to reach for her protective mask.

Xia Qing, holding the ducks, was puzzled. "Broken-Waist, what do you want the protective mask for?"

The Broken-Waist Wolf took Xia Qing's protective mask off the rack in its mouth, placed it on the table, and set one big paw on the camera area of the protective mask.

Xia Qing...

"You want to watch the video of me flying the helicopter out on a mission today?"

The Broken-Waist Wolf grinned, once again revealing its adorable, snow-white little fang tips.
