Chapter 47: Rarity Brings Value
“Tsk, anyway, there were a few times when I saw the boss looking at photos with a face full of longing!”
“Whose photo?”
Shi An’an quickly stuck her head out, perking up her ears to listen.
“Don’t know, judging by the outline, it looks like… a person!”
Everyone: “………”
“I think you’re not human!!!”
Then, everyone rushed up and beat that person hard. He was such a buzzkill!
Shi An’an was also speechless for a moment, but when Uncle left back then, he had specially bought a lot of beautiful flowers from her.
And they were all bright red ones, with the most being roses!
So… these should be for the person he likes, right?
Sigh, just don’t know who Uncle likes. Didn’t hear the result today, so frustrating!!!
“Beep…”
“An’an, we’re almost there. Where are you?” Shi Anxin’s voice came from the optical computer.
Hearing that they were almost there, Shi An’an immediately stood up. “I’m at the mountain top. Hurry up, I’ll wait for you guys!”
“Okay, wait for us! Right away!” After Shi Anxin said that, she hung up.
Shi An’an happily paced back and forth, looking down at the foot of the mountain.
This time, she agreed to make this forest the final assembly point for military training, also to fire the first shot!
To preheat the economy of developing this planet in the future.
“Tsk tsk, you little girl are really something. Such a big mountain, and you actually managed to make it work!”
Lin Xi came down from the aircraft, looking at the surrounding trees and green plants with a face full of surprise.
Seeing Lin Xi, Shi An’an immediately smiled and greeted him. “Brother Lin, you’re here!”
“Eh, this little guy…”
Shi An’an saw the box Lin Xi was carrying, which was obviously the box that held the little furball back then.
Lin Xi handed the box to Shi An’an. “Here, it’s been fully checked. It’s indeed a purebred lion cub.”
Hearing this, Shi An’an relaxed in her heart and happily took the box.
“Just couldn’t find out where this cub came from. Maybe it’s a cub from the native animals on this planet before…” Lin Xi guessed.
“Eh, what’s wrong with it?”
Shi An’an opened the box and saw the little furball inside, limp and with its eyes closed.
Lin Xi glanced at it. “I found it too noisy, so I had someone give it a sedative. Don’t worry, it’ll wake up once the effect wears off!”
“Oh, okay!” Shi An’an gently touched the little guy. The feel was indeed nice to touch, with smooth and soft fur…
“Can I keep it?”
Shi An’an had been wary of this little guy before because she worried it came from the Empire side.
Now knowing it was really just a lion cub, seeing the little guy again made her heart soften instantly.
Lin Xi nodded. “Yes, but you need to get a pet license. Then it’ll be your pet.”
“Mm, but…” Lin Xi looked at the little furball that was dazedly opening its eyes.
“You need to think it through. Once this lion cub is registered under your name, you’ll be responsible for it. Not just feeding it—if it hurts others or destroys things outside, you’ll have to take responsibility.”
The little furball that had just woken up heard Lin Xi’s words and saw Shi An’an in front of it, immediately understanding its situation.
“Meow~~” It let out a milky cry toward Shi An’an.
Shi An’an’s originally hesitant heart now decisively decided: she’d keep it!
“Little guy, since you want to follow me so much, from now on, you have to be obedient and not naughty, or I’ll discipline you!” Shi An’an poked the little furball’s nose.
“Meow~~~”
Shi An’an happily laughed. “I’ll take that as agreement!”
Lin Xi looked at the girl and her pet, his eyes full of amusement.
“Rawr!”
Suddenly, the furball turned its head toward Lin Xi and hoarsely bared its teeth with growls.
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. “Yo, quite the grudge holder!”
Shi An’an burst out laughing.
“Right, Brother Lin, I’ve already signed the contract with Uncle. My green plants will be sold to the military.”
Hearing this news, Lin Xi felt stifled inside. Back then, it was clearly him who had the idea first, but An Yi beat him to it!
“I already know, but little sister, your Eldest Brother is in our First Legion. You gotta give some benefits to his legion too!” Lin Xi inwardly cursed his dog of a friend. If he hadn’t blocked him, the Ninth Legion wouldn’t have taken all the benefits.
At this moment, Shi Anfeng, who was commanding on the battlefield, inexplicably felt his nose itch. No need to think—he knew someone was talking about him!
Shi An’an looked troubled. “Brother Lin, the thing is, I still have to go to school. Providing a thousand green plants a month is already my limit!”
“How many? A thousand?!!!” Lin Xi couldn’t believe his ears.
“A thousand green plants a month?!!!”
Shi An’an mumbled, “Is… is that too few?”
Lin Xi looked at Shi An’an, not knowing what to say. “Little sister, you… you’re too naive!”
“Hm?” Shi An’an didn’t know what he meant.
Lin Xi sighed and shook his head. “You’re too honest! Cooperating with the military already proves your abilities are recognized!”
Lin Xi explained bit by bit to Shi An’an.
“At this point, you also need to understand that your abilities are unmatched by others.
At this time, you need to handle your cooperation partners carefully and not easily reveal your trump card.
The quality of your green plants is now on par with those cultivated by the masters outside, and the effects are even better. Why does the military cooperate with you instead of those masters?”
“Because my green plants are special.” Shi An’an knew this very well too.
“Yes, your green plants are very special. They have a healing effect on mental power.” Lin Xi looked at Shi An’an seriously.
“So that’s the leverage you have over them.
A thousand a month is too many! Little sister, you should know the principle that scarce things are precious.” Lin Xi earnestly advised, hoping Shi An’an would understand.
At the same time, Lin Xi felt a bit contemptuous toward An Yi inside. Why didn’t he remind his niece?
If An Yi were here, he would shout his innocence. The contract he signed with Shi An’an before for providing a thousand green plants a month was only for the Ninth Legion, and he even specially noted afterward that no large quantities would be provided to anyone besides the Ninth Legion!
Back then time was urgent, so he didn’t tell Shi An’an about it. Later he left because of something.
Shi An’an listened to Lin Xi’s analysis and nodded repeatedly. “Indeed, scarce things are precious. Thanks, Brother Lin, for telling me this.”
Lin Xi shook his head. “Contact your parents now and have them ask your uncle if that contract has taken effect. If not, have them discuss the contract with him.”
“Okay.” Shi An’an wrote down the details and sent them to Mother.
Mother Shi happened to be communicating with her son at the time. When she saw the message from her daughter, she immediately got angry.
