When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1252 Farm Owner 5
Li Yong sat on the motorcycle: "It's normal. Along the way, the farmers would clean the outside of the protective shields, just in case the mutated plants sneak into the farm."

It was unusually clean here, though Li Yong didn't say it aloud. At that moment, the protective shield opened, and Tan You walked out.

"Brother Yong, Brother Xiaojun," Tan You greeted with a smile, "You're on patrol so early?"

Chen Xiaojun: "We patrol the area every morning and evening. Have you encountered any unexpected situations since you moved in? Have you encountered any mutated plants or animals? If you find any trace of them, please report it immediately."

Tan You smiled and said, "No, I just came out the day before yesterday to clean up the lawn outside the farm and didn't find anything unusual."

After all, the abnormality has now taken root on her farm; it's her own stuff, so how can it be called abnormal?

Chen Xiaojun said warmly, "Your place is far from the base, and it's inconvenient for you to travel around. If you need anything, just tell me, and I can bring it over during my patrol. There will just be a small handling fee."

Tan You had been worried about how to steer the conversation toward a transaction, but now that Chen Xiaojun had brought it up, she went along with it, saying, "Then thank you, Brother Xiaojun. I really can't live without the farm these days."

Li Yong paused, waiting to hear what Tan You had to say.

Tan You knew Li Yong was a smart man. She took out a metal box, opened it, and inside were two orange cherries. Li Yong looked down at the orange cherries, then looked up at Tan You.

Tan You gestured for him to try it out: "I got this by chance, Brother Yong, why don't you give it a try?"

Li Yong silently pointed the terminal at the orange cherry, and the test results popped up: Level 4 mutated orange cherry, pollution index 4, strength increase 20%, duration 2 hours, no side effects.

"Holy crap, a pollution index of 4?" Chen Xiaojun exclaimed, "We haven't seen anything with a pollution index of 4 in a long time, and it's even increasing!"

Li Yong looked at Tan You: "What do you want?"

Tan You: "The farm has limited supplies, and winter is coming soon. I need to build a house and prepare all the necessary winter supplies. I also need to make sure the house has running water and electricity."

Li Yong: "Two cherries aren't enough."

Tan You smiled and said, "I currently have 6 orange cherries."

Li Yong understood what he meant and smiled: "If you're just building a small house for one person, around 80 square meters, you'll need at least 30. If you want to build a bigger one, you'll need to double the number."

“The third squad has a construction team. If you sell these orange cherries on the market, they can fetch 10000 universal points each. But they're easy to be targeted. If you sell them to our third squad, we can completely erase your traces.”

Tan You pondered for a moment. She knew that the price Li Yong quoted was fair and he wasn't lying to her: "How many days would it take to build an 80-square-meter house?"

Li Yong realized that Tan You really wanted to build a house, and he couldn't help but smile: "It will take ten days, including labor and materials, but one meal will be provided."

Tan You figured it out: "The farm isn't producing anything yet, so I can't provide meals. In that case, I won't build a house for now. Could you help me buy some supplies for now? I'm lacking everything here."

Li Yong nodded: "Sure, these can be taken from our third squad's logistics department. You definitely won't suffer any losses."

Tan You agreed. Rather than taking risks in the market, it would be much less troublesome to do business with the military. If others knew that she had a cherry tree on her farm with a pollution index of 4, who knows how much bloodshed would ensue.

Before leaving, Li Yong said, "If you're going to build a house, let me know a week in advance. We'll bring the supplies you need during our night patrols; that way, we won't attract attention." Tan You nodded, "Understood, thank you, Brother Yong."

On the way back, Chen Xiaojun was very excited: "Brother Yong, what kind of supplies should we prepare for Xiaolin? She's a young girl, she likes pretty things, and I remember the logistics manager got some new clothes..."

Li Yong said softly, "I don't think she's the type to care about fashion. Let's focus on preparing her living supplies first. You've seen the supplies the base provides for the pioneers; it's just those things."

Chen Xiaojun started counting on his fingers: "Should we prepare a big pot for her? A wooden basin? An entrenching tool? Shoes?"

He was rambling on and on, saying whatever came to mind. Li Yong remained silent, already making a list in his mind.

Back in the third squad, Chen Xiaojun rushed straight to the office of Logistics Minister Huang like a rabbit at the top of its lungs, while Li Yong followed slowly behind with his hands in his pockets. No one knew that the two of them were carrying orange cherries in their pockets.

Minister Huang was looking at the task list with a headache: "The last time our squad went on a mission, we encountered a mutated pine tree. If our combat strength had been stronger, we wouldn't have had to retreat. In the end, we didn't manage to take down the mutated plant, but we lost a lot of supplies."

"It would be great if there were foods that could boost stats."

"Minister, busy?" Chen Xiaojun peeked out from behind the door frame, looking rather furtive.

Li Yong grabbed Chen Xiaojun from behind by the back of his shirt and pushed him into Minister Huang's office. Chen Xiaojun locked the office door behind him, and seeing the two of them acting like this, Minister Huang sat up straight.

"Xiao Li, what's the matter?" Minister Huang knew that Li Yong was always a steady person, so his serious visit to him must mean something important.

Li Yong took out the box of orange cherries, and Chen Xiaojun proudly presented it: "We just got it this morning. The pollution index is only 4, and it provides a 2-hour power boost, and there are no side effects."

Minister Huang couldn't wait to test it with the terminal. His breathing became heavier: "Good lad, you managed to get this? It's just too little."

Li Yong: "This is all we have right now, Minister. Could you please help me exchange some daily necessities? A friend of mine needs them."

"Friends?" Minister Huang asked in confusion, "The friends who sold you these cherries?"

Since it concerned negotiations, Chen Xiaojun didn't say a word. Even though Minister Huang was staring at him, Chen Xiaojun just stared with his big eyes, determined not to reveal any flaws.

Li Yong: "She's a friend I met by chance; she's a farmer."

“Good job, farmers,” Minister Huang smiled. “The first batch of farmers who went out to reclaim land are not simple. It would be even better if they could reach a supply agreement with our legion.”

Food is scarce everywhere these days, so knowing a farmer would be ideal.

Li Yong resolutely refused to reveal Tan You's words, and only left with Chen Xiaojun after selecting a series of living supplies from the logistics department. It was his first time working with Tan You, so naturally he needed to interact with her a few more times to ascertain her character.

Exposing Tan You to the leader at this moment would be problematic, aside from anything else, it would directly offend Tan You. After all, Tan You was making a deal with him, not with the legion.

Chen Xiaojun understood this perfectly, and after returning to his base, he never mentioned Tan You again. He was still hoping to be on good terms with Tan You so he could live a life of luxury in the future. After all, other superhumans didn't know how to farm, and soldiers like them had even less time for farming.

Thank you for your support, everyone!
