Chapter 956: Trying to Welch on the Bill? No Way!

A little past two in the afternoon, after Xia Qing brought Zhao Ze and the other four back to the territory, she went straight to Territory Seven to "report on work" to Zhang San, bringing along the various samples she had collected on Mountain Fifty.

Before reporting, Xia Qing first handed over the blood samples of Zhang Ten and Zhang Shiyi, which had been mixed in among the thirty-six test tubes, to her idol.

Upon hearing what was in the test tubes, Xia Qing saw, for the first time on her idol's world-weary face, a very clear expression of wild joy.

Even a top-tier big shot gets this worked up over a Restorer's blood, so one can imagine what state the other researchers would be in. No wonder the Fire Phoenix turned herself into a living poison arsenal, and Zhang Ten had to take Zhang Shiyi into hiding in the Evolution Forest.

Apart from Zhang Ten's and her daughter's Class C magnetic-sense evolution abilities, Xia Qing told her idol everything else Zhang Ten had said.

After listening, Zhang San sighed after a long pause. "Once a person has someone they care about, they have a weakness."

Zhang Ten didn't want to return to human society, but now that she has a daughter, she drew her own blood to fight for the chance for her daughter to return to a normal life.

Xia Qing asked, "Third Brother, the anti-allergy medication made from the Restorer Factor has no side effects, right?"

Xia Qing knew her idol had been taking some anti-allergy medication that did have side effects. He couldn't not take it—if he didn't, his body would give out even faster.

Zhang San answered, "The Restorer Factor is the sixth Yi-synthetic element humanity has discovered, abbreviated Yi-6. Medication formulated with it treats Qiong-element allergies and almost never has side effects."

No side effects is good—her idol can finally put on some weight and look like a living person.

Xia Qing continued to ask, "Can the Restorer Factor extracted from Zhang Ten's blood cure your Qiong-element allergy?"

Zhang San shook his head. "The Restorer Factor can be used to formulate a long-acting desensitization treatment drug for Qiong-element allergies. If Zhang Ten's Restorer evolution grade is the same as her peak period before she fled, the medication formulated from the Restorer Factor extracted from these ten milliliters of blood should have a desensitization period effective for four months."

Her idol only had Zhang Ten's old ability-grade data; in other words, from finding Zhang Ten until now, he had not drawn Zhang Ten's blood for experiments or to make desensitization medication.

Searching her heart and putting herself in his shoes, Xia Qing knew she absolutely could not have done what her idol did.

Xia Qing deliberately picked things her idol liked to hear. "Zhang Ten's can last four months. Even if the Restorer Factor in Little Eleven's five milliliters of blood is less, it should still last half a month. Before the end of the year, you won't have to be tormented by allergies—you can eat whatever you want."

Xia Qing knew very well how precious a Restorer evolver's blood was, but the fact that she brought Zhang Ten's and her daughter's blood samples straight over and handed them to him moved Zhang San deeply and gave him great comfort.

So he laid his cards on the table with Xia Qing. "Actually, every year I can get from Red One a total of three months' worth of effective desensitization Yi-6 medication, but I have to inject it once a month. Otherwise I'd have died long ago with not even my bones left."

Xia Qing felt this was only right. "You're our nation's top-tier expert, you've made huge contributions to disaster relief. Of course the country has to prioritize giving its medication to talents like you!"

Zhang San shot Xia Qing a look and didn't continue the topic. "Zhang Ten coming to you to trade was within my expectations. Why do you think she trusted Ye Yang?"

Xia Qing had long prepared for her idol to ask about this and analyzed without a crack in her composure. "Zhang Ten lived in the valley for four months with a few wounded soldiers from Territory Fifteen. She probably observed them during that time and decided Ye Yang was someone she could work with. Another point is that Little Eleven really likes Ye Yang."

Zhang San shook his head. "Given Zhang Ten's caution, she wouldn't rashly hand her daughter over to a man she's only known for four months. But since Zhang Ten isn't talking, don't press her."

"What Ye Yang does is none of my business, but you absolutely must not betray Zhang Ten's trust. The existence of her and her daughter has extremely important value to all of humanity, no matter how you assess it."

Xia Qing straightened her back. "Setting aside all of humanity, just for your sake, I will absolutely not betray Zhang Ten's trust!"

Zhang San……

"What do you want to trade for these two tubes of blood?"

Xia Qing immediately beamed. "Whatever you feel like giving, I'm not picky."

Zhang San shot her a look. "Points?"

Xia Qing beamed even more brightly. "Third Brother's in such a good mood today, he's even in the mood to joke around."

Zhang San gave a cold snort, opened the lab door with a beep beep beep using the fresh-keeping box holding the test tubes, and said, "What are you still standing around for?"

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

Xia Qing immediately put on her lab coat and mask, and trotted happily into her idol's core laboratory.

Over an hour later, Xia Qing brought back several packs of medication and her little tail, Zhang Song, to her own territory.

After dropping Zhang Song off at the No. 3 shed closest to the reservoir, Xia Qing drove home, walked in, and was greeted by a scene that was both astonishing and infuriating.

The air conditioning was on in the house. Sheep Boss was generating electricity, and Broken-Waist Wolf was watching TV while gnawing on a cucumber—all normal. But damn it, Does Daigua the monkey was actually squatting next to Broken-Waist Wolf, using its little black paws to groom the wolf's fur!

Seeing that Xia Qing had finally returned, Does Daigua immediately abandoned the wolf and scrambled toward Xia Qing.

"Baa!"

Sheep Boss let out an unhappy bleat, climbed off the power-generating bicycle, rushed over to the little brother, and before it could throw a fit, the little brother pulled out delicious food and stuffed it into its mouth.

Xia Qing ignored Does Daigua, soothed the boss, then said with full momentum to this shameless wolf that had been living like a landlord in her house while she was busy as a dog: "Broken-Waist, my house now has air conditioning."

Xia Qing pointed first at the air conditioner on the wall, then at her own TV on the wall, at her territory's temporary worker Does Daigua the monkey, and at her companion Sheep Boss. "Plus a TV, a dedicated employee to take care of you, and a boss generating electricity for you! The cost of your convalescence here is going to triple. Add in Four-Eyes Little Black Wolf, and you need to pay me one walnut-sized Use Yishi!"

Broken-Waist Wolf swallowed the cucumber and gazed at Xia Qing thoughtfully.

Thoughtful, my ass—trying to welch on the bill? No way!

Xia Qing gestured seriously. "When the Queen told me yesterday to go hunt the Giant Eagle, she did give me a Use Yishi, but that was payment for using the sniper rifle to hunt the Giant Eagle. The Green-Light Wild Boar the Queen gave me last night went into your big fridge—that's your rations. So you still owe me one Use Yishi as medical fees for you and Little Four-Eyes!"

"Look, this is medication I just got for you. Add it to the medication you soak in, and it'll make your claws tougher. This is medication specifically for high-level speed evolvers—the Queen's. This is medication I traded for your cubs—Little Wolf Bro and Little Wolf Sis. After taking it, their immunity will improve. Tell me, aren't all these worth one walnut-sized Use Yishi?!"

The thoughtful Broken-Waist Wolf bared its mouth, showing Xia Qing its cute, snow-white little fang tips.

Does that mean it agrees?

Xia Qing immediately beamed with joy. "Good, don't forget to have the Queen send the Use Yishi over as soon as possible."

After saying that, Xia Qing picked up Does Daigua, who had already climbed onto her leg, and showed it a bag of pink medication. "Daigua, this is yours. It'll help you recover faster."

After saying that, Xia Qing pulled out another pack of grass seeds and showed them to the boss, who was burying his head in eating grass. "Boss, you're already healthy enough. This pack is Green-Light grass seeds I traded for you. After a while, you'll have more varieties of food."

Of course, besides these, there were also ones for Xia Qing and Little Feimao.

Her idol was in a particularly good mood today. Whatever Xia Qing asked for, he gave her. After giving them, he even said the total value of these things was less than a quarter of the value of the two tubes of blood.

Such a wonderful idol—where else could you find one!
