When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1269 Farm Owner 22
Besides, these pollution-free ingredients aren't even available on the market; in the end, it's Minister Huang and his group who profited. Yan Liang had already taken out a basket from his spatial storage and started filling it with chestnuts; he hadn't expected such an unexpected windfall today.

The three of them left the farm around lunchtime. They felt embarrassed to stay and have dinner there, since they had already had lunch and chestnuts. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to eat Tan You's dinner as well.

Even though Tan You is indeed very rich.

After seeing the group off, Tan You didn't plan to cook anything else for dinner. Instead, she lit a small stove with a grill on it, on which were placed two sweet potatoes, a handful of chestnuts, and two persimmons.

In the bitter cold of winter, just snuggling around a charcoal fire, drinking tea, eating fruit, and grilling food—if you're still hungry, you can grill some meat too—this kind of life is just too pleasant.

While Tan You was warming herself by the fire, the officers in the Third Army Corps' meeting room had watched the video of Tan You purifying the chestnut tree more than a dozen times, finding it increasingly unbelievable.

"Mu Nan, what do you say?" Jin Xi directly called out Mu Nan, after all, this was the highest-ranking wood-type ability user in the legion.

Mu Nan watched the video, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I previously purified the mutated plants to zero pollution, but I never thought of adding a protective shield to them. I'll try it now."

Jin Xi immediately stood up: "Let's go take a look together."

So everyone went directly from the conference room to Mu Nan's residence. The biggest difference between wood-type ability users and others is that their residences are basically planted with greenery, even in the legion.

For example, there are two level-four mutated jujube trees planted outside Mu Nan's dormitory. Because of Mu Nan's daily purification, the pollution index of these two jujube trees is 1.

Mu Nan, being a level seven wood-type ability user, found purifying one point of pollution index relatively easy. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mu Nan used his ability and quickly purified all the pollution index from the jujube tree on the left.

The moment the index reached zero, everyone held their breath. At the same time, Mu Nan increased his power input, awkwardly adding a power shield to the jujube tree.

Worried that it wasn't enough, Mu Nan reinforced it with five more layers before withdrawing his supernatural power.

Yan Liang checked: "The pollution index is zero. Captain Mu, how's your power depletion? Can you still hold on?"

Mu Nan assessed his ability status: "Okay, I'll purify this jujube tree too. As for the effect, as long as the protective shield is reinforced regularly, it should be able to completely prevent pollution from invading, right?"

Yan Liang: "Then we'll have to wait until tomorrow. It seems feasible at the moment."

That being said, everyone's gaze towards the two jujube trees was incredibly fervent. If ability users could truly purify the mutated plants, then the legion would have to consider recruiting more wood-type ability users and simultaneously increase its search efforts for mutated plants.

The experiment was naturally encouraging. After several days, everyone confirmed that with the protection of the wood-type ability user shield, the mutated plants could indeed be protected from pollution. As soon as this news came out, the wood-type ability users in the legion became highly sought after.

It was the conference room again, and everyone was seated in rows. Mu Nan had a serious expression, and two red dates were placed in front of him.

Yan Liang was puzzled: "What are you showing us? What's the difference between these two dates?"

Mu Nan gestured for Yan Liang to proceed, and Yan Liang pointed the terminal at the two red dates.

"Beep, Level 4 mutated red dates, replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen. Continuous use for one month may result in stronger muscles and bones."

"Beep, Level 4 mutated red dates, replenishing the middle and boosting qi."

Two detection beeps sounded, and the conference room fell silent for a few seconds before erupting into a huge uproar. "Didn't it only have one function before? Has it been upgraded?"

What are the chances of it strengthening muscles and bones?

"I don't know, how do I test it?"

"Will the pollution index drop to 0 and then generate unnecessary side effects?"

As Jin Xi listened to his subordinates' discussion, his first thought was of Tan You's cherry tree. Speaking of which, were the fruits from that cherry tree also mutated in some way?
He was certainly curious, but he knew he couldn't just ask so bluntly.

Mu Nan's eyes were filled with excitement: "The jujube tree has indeed developed new benefits. Whether every mutated plant will have derivative effects is currently uncertain."

Yan Liang thought of the chestnut tree: "I remember that before the purification, the chestnut tree was only edible, but after the purification, it also had the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach."

"But those are level three chestnut trees, and we only have these two samples at the moment..."

"Not two, but three," Jin Xi finally spoke up. "Have you forgotten that she also has a cherry tree there?"

"I haven't forgotten, but that cherry tree originally bore two kinds of fruit: orange cherries and cherry bombs." Yan Liang also recalled, "Do you think the cherry bombs might be an ability derived from the purification process?"

Mu Nan also had his own thoughts: "That doesn't make sense either. They're all mutated plants now, so they'll have some kind of attack method. If the cherry bomb is a later development, then what is its attack method?"

Yan Liang was also confused: "But during our test that day, Orange Cherry did indeed only have the ability to enhance strength for 2 hours."

"Could it be that it hasn't evolved any other abilities?"

"It's hard to say." Mu Nan thought for a moment and shook his head. "I have a suggestion: the legion should collect more mutated plants. If we have enough mutated plants, it will generate revenue for the legion, and they will only become rarer in the future."

Jin Xi agreed with this view: "I have no objection. Do you have any information about mutated plants?"

Mu Nan smiled, then suddenly became a little shy: "I know one. In a deserted town seventy kilometers away, there is a level six mutated pepper tree."

"Pollution index: 15".

"Level six?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Great! We're going to make a fortune! Sichuan peppercorns are a real treasure!"

Jin Xi had a headache. Was this guy only seeing the benefits and not the dangers of a level-six mutated plant at all? But if there really was a level-six mutated plant with zero pollution, he would want it too.

Tan You had no idea that Jin Xi and the others were eagerly collecting more mutated plants. She was currently living a very comfortable life on the farm. Every day, apart from having the legion's people come over to pick strawberries for two hours in the morning, she spent the rest of her time cultivating.

She destroyed all ten wood-type crystal cores that Jin Xi had sent her, allowing Tan You to advance to the late stage of level four in one fell swoop.

Of all the things in the world, perhaps only the apple tree truly cares about Tan You's cultivation level. Whenever Tan You passes under the apple tree, its branches hook onto her hat, just to see if her cultivation has improved that day.

It was as if the head of the teaching department was waving a small leather whip, chasing after Tan You, wishing that Tan You could rush to level five in an instant.
