Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

After the two strolled around in the mountains for a while, Su Wanqing realized how convenient it was to have a horse.

A thought flickered in her mind: "Insightful insight!"

Information about life and minerals within a 30-meter radius was displayed in her mind as dots of light. This "map" was updated in real time as the horse moved, making it much more convenient than walking or cycling.

She would call for a stop every now and then.

Xiao Liu watched as she dismounted and dug up several wild fritillaria bulbs, then pulled a nest of wild eggs from the grass, and even swiftly caught a plump wild duck with a cloth bag.

He scratched his head and muttered, "Dr. Su, your eyesight is too good... Why do I feel like you're more of a reconnaissance soldier? Following you, I'm just like a bag carrier."

That's right, she's scanning for cheats.

As noon approached, Xiao Liu, thinking about the "Na Ren" (a type of noodle dish) he had eaten at the cafeteria, suggested they head back. By then, the two had reached a valley with dense forests.

Su Wanqing suddenly reined in her horse and looked up at a towering tree.

"Dr. Su? Shall we go back?" Xiao Liu asked.

Su Wanqing shook her head and pointed upwards: "Look, there's a huge wild beehive over there."

Looking up, Xiao Liu saw a large, dark object hanging from the tree trunk, more than thirty meters above the ground, with a swarm of bees faintly visible. A chill ran down his spine, and he stammered, "Dr. Su... Dr. Su... what... what do you want to do?"

Please don't let it be what he thinks.

However, Su Wanqing nodded: "That's right. This should be a beehive of Xinjiang black bees. This kind of honey is thick, and the bee colony can be bred and raised. I plan to get some and bring it back to the 65th Regiment. I have a lavender base, and I need these bees to collect the honey."

Of course, this is the stated reason.

She also plans to propagate them in her space and place them in the planting grid. When she plants lavender, she can produce a lot of lavender honey, which is a honey with a lavender flavor that is super delicious and has a higher value.

Whether for gifting or for sale, these are excellent agricultural products.

Furthermore, storing the entire beehive, honey, and bees into your inventory—three items in one space—and then using "Tenfold Return" to duplicate it ten times—it's an absolute steal! It's like getting three tenfold returns in one go!

She decided to use her first chance to get a refund today on it.

Xiao Liu's lips twitched: "I understand... but these bees sting people, right? And the tree is so tall..."

Su Wanqing: "Black bees are more docile than ordinary wild bees, but with such a large hive, disturbing it will definitely cause stings. But I have a solution."

Seeing that she was determined to "take down" this hornet's nest, Xiao Liu steeled his heart, closed his eyes, and said, "Fine! Dr. Su, you step back and cover your head with a cloth bag. I... I'll climb up and poke it down with a long stick!"

Su Wanqing grabbed him by the back of his collar: "Step back. You don't know how to collect honey, I'll do it." If he were to knock down the beehive with a stick, it would really stir up a hornet's nest. They wouldn't be able to run away, and they would just have to wait to be stung into lion's heads.

"You know about this?!" Xiao Liu exclaimed in shock.

Su Wanqing nodded without changing her expression: "When I was little, I didn't want to study medicine, so my grandfather would chase me with a stick and beat me. I liked to climb trees to steal bird eggs and avoid him."

As she spoke, she took out a homemade gauze mask and hat from her cloth bag, and then pulled out a pair of thick work gloves, quickly wrapping herself up tightly.

Xiao Liu was completely stunned—Dr. Su was this mischievous as a child? And how come she has all sorts of things in her bag? It's like a treasure trove!

While he was still in a daze, Su Wanqing had already nimbly started climbing the tree. Halfway up, she looked down and instructed, "Lead the horse further away and keep it away. If a beehive falls, the swarm of bees might fly around wildly." In reality, she was telling him to stay away so he wouldn't see her using her cheat code.

"Oh, oh!" Xiao Liu subconsciously complied, leading the horse back more than ten meters, when he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute! How could I let Dr. Su climb a tree to raid a beehive?! If Captain Zhou finds out, I'll be in big trouble!"

But up in the tree, Su Wanqing was already close to her target.

She'd raided hornet nests before, but never one this big; she estimated it weighed over ten kilograms. She certainly wouldn't cut it open—instead, she planned to snap off the entire branch with the honeycomb hanging from it and store it in her spatial storage.

This way, we can obtain a complete beehive while isolating the bee colony using space. Once the "tenfold return" replica is released, the bees produced by that space should be much more docile, right?

She steadied her breathing and quietly reached for the branch.

The surrounding black bees seemed to sense the threat, their buzzing suddenly intensifying as they swarmed towards her. Within a safe distance, Su Wanqing moved her mind and instantly stored the branch with the beehive, along with the surrounding swarm of bees, into her spatial storage.

—Because branches, beehives, and bee colonies are essentially one entity, the space defaults to classifying them as "the same type of item".

It's done! Su Wanqing was overjoyed.

"Golden Elixir, tenfold return!"

In the blink of an eye, ten complete beehives were neatly stacked in the space, along with replica branches. Without hesitation, Su Wanqing immediately took out one of the replica beehives, along with the slightly dazed swarm of black bees, and stuffed it into her cloth bag.

Sure enough, the black bees produced by the space were much more docile, merely circling the hive slowly without any aggression. Su Wanqing felt much relieved. While tidying up the hive in her hands, she moved the remaining nine hives in the space into the breeding grid. When it was time to harvest honey, she would move them to the planting area.

The lavender in her planting space has now sprouted flower spikes thanks to its tenfold growth, but the area is only a small three-tenths of an acre, and she's unsure if it's enough for the black bees to collect nectar. Her planting space is almost full—an acre of alfalfa, various vegetables, and recently she's added apple, pear, grape, cantaloupe, and watermelon seedlings or seeds.

The apple tree is already over a meter tall; the others will have to wait.

However, all this miscellaneous stuff should be enough for Black Fang to collect honey. He just hopes to upgrade the space quickly and expand both the planting and breeding spaces, otherwise it simply won't be enough.

Another thing is that she had prepared enough feed, such as alfalfa, but not enough corn and other grains. Su Wanqing was thinking of doing something big.

Go to the granary and return ten times the amount of grain, which would be enough to feed pigs, sheep, and chickens for the rest of their lives.

As her thoughts wandered, she had already settled the bees in the space and withdrew from consciousness.

Xiao Liu, who was dozens of meters away, didn't see the whole process clearly. He only saw Su Wanqing busy under the tree for a while, then come down carrying something.

He quickly led his horse to meet her, his voice trembling with anxiety: "Dr. Su, are you alright?" He was even more anxious than Su Wanqing, hoping that Dr. Su hadn't been stung, otherwise, given how much Captain Zhou valued Dr. Su, he was afraid he would have skinned him alive.
