Chapter 737: Each with Their Own Plans

Tan Qi, the young lord of Territory No. 15, looked at Yue Haiying with eager eyes. In a few days, she would be following Aunt Yan and Sister Qing to the Evolution Forest for field training, and she was in desperate need of this kind of reagent.

Yue Haiying nodded; Territory No. 15 would definitely buy some, but as for how much, they would have to discuss it back home.

Tang Heng asked, "Sister Qing, can the nutritional source I bought be picked up in two batches? Like, one batch in the next few days, and another next month or the month after?"

Xia Qing shook her head. "It must be picked up all at once, because Third Brother is very busy."

Huo Lei also asked, "Qing, can the high-quality special-grade nutrient solution prepared from this reagent be given to my family members to consume?"

Xia Qing nodded. "Yes. As long as you don't reveal the source of the reagent and don't take it out to trade for points."

After the meeting adjourned, the lords left Territory No. 5 in separate groups and directions.

Zhao Mu, Zhao Ze, Xia Qing, and the Tang brothers traveled together, walking west along the northern buffer zone. Everyone followed the Territory Alliance regulations, suppressing the excitement in their hearts and not discussing alliance matters outside to avoid leaking news.

Zhao Mu and her son arrived home first, entering Territory No. 4.

Tang Huai walked to the north gate of Territory No. 3, stopped, and refused to move further. "Xia Qing, call that little honey badger out to play for a while, won't you?"

The honey badger "Flathead," who had been active on Mountain No. 50, had discovered that there were no leopards, wolves, or other natural predators on Mountain No. 49, so it refused to leave and insisted on fighting the little lamb inside Territory No. 3 every day.

Xia Qing shook her head. "It doesn't listen to me; I can't call it out."

"Sister Qing, then we'll head back first." Although Tang Heng was also a bit curious about the honey badger, he was more concerned about the nutritional source, so he dragged his brother back to their territory to discuss how much to buy.

Not long after Xia Qing entered her territory, Kuang Qingwei came over.

"Sister Xia Qing, I want to ask you something. If you can say it, then say it; if you can't, just pretend I never asked."

Fearing that he might be overheard by auditory evolutionaries passing by or hiding outside, Kuang Qingwei took out his phone and typed for Xia Qing to see:

That reagent, the pharmaceutical factory will produce it, and the time should be two months from now, right?

No wonder they say a businessman's brain turns fast.

When Tang Heng asked if he could pick it up in batches during the meeting, and after she replied that he couldn't, Kuang Qingwei immediately thought that this reagent might hit the market, and there would be no need to trouble Third Brother to prepare it personally in the future.

Xia Qing typed a reply on her phone:

Correct. After the second crop of X-2 is planted and sprouts, production will begin.

Kuang Qingwei's eyes lit up: Once this reagent is launched, it will definitely sell even more explosively than Anti-Mold No. 3. By then, the retail price of small juicers will rise by at least 40%. I want to hoard a batch of juicers; are you interested in buying a stake, sister?

Territory No. 6 had suffered a disaster last year; the two lords were injured, and a large amount of stockpiled goods was burned or destroyed. The Kuang couple was living frugally now, and it was not easy.

Therefore, Xia Qing did not enter this investment that was guaranteed to make a profit, letting the couple earn this money instead. As for how much they could earn, that would depend on their own abilities.

While Kuang Qingwei had already begun planning in detail to raise points to hoard goods, other lords were also in their respective territories, using their phones to type or scratching on the ground, discussing how much nutritional source to buy.

Huo Lei in Territory No. 11 didn't need to discuss with anyone; he could make the decision himself. After sending the quantity to Qi Fu, he immediately sent a message to his son:

Are you busy?

Huo Zhun, who happened not to be busy, immediately called his father back. "Dad, what's up?"

Huo Lei frowned. "Isn't this working hours? Why are you so idle? You wouldn't be slacking off on your guard duty because you're calculating your retirement, would you? If you're a soldier for a day, you have to stand guard properly for a day, you know?"

After saying a few words, Huo Lei got angry again. "If you get kicked out because you didn't work properly, I'll beat you to death!"

Huo Zhun... what was wrong with his dad again?

Soon, each territory sent the quantity they wanted to purchase to Qi Fu. Qi Fu compiled them into a table and sent it to Xia Qing.

Every territory chose to purchase nutritional sources, but the quantities were not the same. Territories No. 2 and No. 12 purchased the maximum of 100g, which indicated that the number of X-2 plants grown by the Tang Group should exceed six hundred.

How did they get so many seeds?

Two territories could receive 300 seeds, and plus the two seeds per person received by the Tang family members in the safe zone, as well as the seeds they purchased privately, gathering nine hundred seeds was not a problem at all.

Other territories only exchanged for ten or twenty grams because the amount of high-E-element spinach they grew was limited.

Xia Qing sent the quantity to her idol and was about to continue working when Sheep Boss, who was lying outside the greenhouse, stood up and walked straight north.

Xia Qing listened intently and indeed heard the "huff, huff" breathing sound. The troublemaker badger Flathead had come to find Sheep Boss for a fight again.

Xia Qing went home to get an anti-parasitic pill, and when she rushed outside the north gate, the battle between Flathead and Sheep Boss was already nearing its end.

Sheep Boss had won without suspense again, but Flathead had also improved; after the fight, it actually still had the strength to crunch on a nearby small tree to vent its anger.

After Xia Qing praised Sheep Boss, she threw a piece of dried meat with the pill inside to Flathead.

Flathead, which was crunching on the tree, sniffed with its nose and actually used its nose to push the pill out first before eating the dried meat.

Xia Qing directly reached out and stuffed the pill into Flathead's mouth. This was something she had exchanged for with points; not a single piece could be wasted!

After being bullied by the tiny human, Flathead was furious. It rolled over, climbed up, and fought Xia Qing, but the result was, of course, being taught a lesson by Sheep Boss again. This time, the little guy didn't have the strength to gnaw on the tree.

Sheep Boss led its little brother Xia Qing back to Territory No. 3 with its head held high.

After returning to the territory, Xia Qing tied the small stool to her body and continued working.

This afternoon, she had to break off all the leaf branches, also known as "crazy forks," growing on the half-acre of cotton plants.

The cotton plants had just grown to knee height, and bending over or squatting to break the crazy forks was easy to cause fatigue.

Xia Qing had heard Shi Tu introduce this method of working while sitting on the lord channel, so she also made a small stool out of wood and tied it to her body. Switching to sitting while working, it was indeed much easier.

As Xia Qing moved from one end of the greenhouse to the other on the small stool, Sheep Boss in the greenhouse also shifted its position, lying down not far from Xia Qing to chew its cud.

If it weren't raining, Sheep Boss would prefer to lie outside the greenhouse. But now there was no way; it could only lie in the aisle in the middle of the greenhouse.

Although this was normal rainwater and the Qi element content was not high, Xia Qing had irrigated the cotton field with Sheep Boss just a few days ago, so she lowered the rainproof cloth of the greenhouse.

Listening to the sound of the drizzle hitting the rainproof cloth, Xia Qing chatted with Sheep Boss while working. "Boss, have you noticed? Flathead has become more powerful than before."

"Baa."

Sheep Boss responded without any emotional fluctuation; clearly, it didn't think so.

Xia Qing continued, "Right. Flathead hasn't become more powerful; it's that Boss isn't as powerful as before."

Sheep Boss stopped chewing its cud and squinted at Xia Qing, wanting to fight.

Did it understand, or did it detect the tone in her voice?

Xia Qing looked up at it, pulled out the weeds that hadn't been cleared around the cotton plants, and continued, "Boss, you didn't ride the bicycle to exercise your legs yesterday; your leg strength has weakened."

After speaking, Xia Qing even lifted her own legs to make a pedaling motion, letting Sheep Boss understand what she was saying.

This guy didn't like to pedal the power-generating bicycle after getting the hanging chair, which led to an insufficient power supply at home, and Xia Qing couldn't even use the electric kettle to boil water.

Xia Qing could be considered to have lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

She tried hard to make up for it. "You have to keep pedaling the bicycle so that your legs can stay strong and you can always stand at the top of the pyramid. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be pushed off the top of the pyramid by a more diligent evolutionary sheep and become dust in evolutionary history..."

Under Xia Qing's verbal offensive and the reward of compressed rations, Sheep Boss finally climbed onto the power-generating bicycle after returning home and lit up the lights in the house.

Xia Qing turned on the lights and hummed a little tune while cooking in the kitchen. ===== CHAPTER 738 =====
