Feng Guiqu saw the wind vortex he condensed with his wind-element ability transform into a white lotus of metal, and was astonished.
This was because ability users could only control elements of the same attribute. Like him, he was wind-element, so he could only use wind elements.
But the other party had, without his knowledge, transformed wind-element into metal-element, turning the wind vortex into a metal lotus.
In his understanding, this was impossible, simply a tall tale.
"Ignorant. Once an ability level reaches level ten, one can transform any element into an element of the same attribute and use it.
Were it not for us being guests of Mingyue Base, and the leader's sympathy for you, and the desire not to disrupt the atmosphere of the trade fair.
Your wind vortex would not have turned into a white lotus, but a dagger plunged into your chest.
Now that you've gained an advantage, quickly get out of the way and don't disturb others."
Seeing Feng Guiqu standing before him, gaping and looking confused, Yue You showed a look of disdain, explained to him, and then told him to leave quickly.
"Metal element level ten? You are Zhao Wumian! I am Feng Guiqu from Xuanwu Base.
I'd like to ask, why do you pity me? And.
Even if your strength is immense, I still have to say, you owe Yin Qing an apology.
She just wanted to say hello and get acquainted with you, why did you accuse her of having ulterior motives?"
After hearing Yue You's explanation, Feng Guiqu immediately guessed Zhao Wumian's identity.
After all, there was only one level ten ability user in the apocalypse.
"Guiqu, I was wrong just now. Don't disturb Mr. Zhao's rest. Let's go sit over there."
Seeing Feng Guiqu chasing after Zhao Wumian to ask why he pitied her, Yin Qing quickly pulled Feng Guiqu away, fearing that Zhao Wumian would say something that would embarrass her.
Feng Guiqu hadn't understood what was said just now, but she had understood it clearly.
It was clearly a mockery of her being a white lotus. Due to Zhao Wumian's strength, she couldn't openly confront him and had to swallow her pride.
Since he looked down on her, there would be plenty of time in the future. They would see.
The bus quickly reached the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, twenty miles away. Everyone got off and was stunned by the scene before them.
If nothing else, in this desolate apocalypse, the archway full of greenery and flowers had already captured everyone's attention.
Everyone instinctively walked towards the archway, wanting to ascend the mountain, as the aroma of food drifted down from above.
"Distinguished guests, my name is Lamei. Please follow me. The main venue is on the mountain.
Before we go up, I will lead you to visit our agricultural product base.
So that you can understand the growth environment of our agricultural products and feel at ease when purchasing."
Lamei walked over, blocking everyone's path up the mountain, and guided them towards the farmland.
Hearing Lamei's words, Zhao Wumian and Yue You exchanged glances and quickened their pace, moving to the front of the tour group.
They both thought it was a heaven-sent opportunity. They had been thinking on the way about what excuse they could use to visit Mingyue Base's farmland.
They never expected that the trade fair's itinerary would include such a segment.
This Mingyue Base was truly foolish, not being secretive about such a place and even allowing people to tour it.
In fact, when Wen Qingtian set up this part of the itinerary, he had some reservations.
The tour of the farmland was intended to showcase the growth environment of the agricultural products, demonstrating Mingyue Base's capability to accept orders and reassure other bases.
On the other hand, these agricultural products were unusually large and somewhat intimidating.
He feared that people might misunderstand and believe that harmful chemicals were used for accelerated growth, thus reducing their desire to purchase. Therefore, he wanted to display the growth environment and state.
However, he also worried that too much would be exposed, causing trouble for the base and attracting the covetousness of other bases.
When Mingyue learned of his concerns, she directly told him to do as he pleased without any worries.
Mingyue said that since the trade fair was already being held, even without the tour, the fact that Mingyue Base had a large amount of food was already confirmed.
There would be no less covetousness. Since they chose to do business, trouble was inevitable.
Rather than letting them guess and inquire, it was better to display it openly.
The inevitable troubles would not decrease because of not touring, nor would they increase because of touring.
She told Wen Qingtian to rest assured, and that she would handle any issues. Wen Qingtian only needed to manage the trade fair well, bringing back more energy and metal for the base, and not to overthink anything else.
However, Wen Qingtian still made adjustments. He had Mingyue use clouds to shroud the thousand acres of fertile land, leaving only a corner of the farmland for customers to visit.
Upon seeing various crops growing vigorously on the fertile land, everyone was stunned.
With fruits and vegetables everywhere and abundant harvests, everyone felt as if they had traveled through time and returned to the past.
"Distinguished guests, please listen. All the agricultural products from our base are pesticide-free and all-natural. Although they are large, they contain no hormones at all.
Whether it's fruits, vegetables, or grains, they are rich in hundreds of trace elements and minerals.
For ordinary people, consumption can strengthen the body. For ability users, regular consumption can enhance their ability levels."
Lamei explained appropriately. She wasn't speaking carelessly; these data were obtained through testing by Dr. You Hen and were supported by evidence.
"Miss, please tell me, the entire world's soil has turned into scorched earth due to environmental changes.
It is unsuitable for plant growth. Why is the land in Mingyue Base different? Why hasn't it changed?"
The moment Yue You saw the farmland, his eyes gleamed. He crouched down, grabbed a handful of fertile black soil, and examined it closely.
He even secretly stuffed some into his pocket. His sharp eyes noticed that the soil in the farmland was completely different from the soil by the field, with a clear distinction.
The soil by the field was the common soil of the apocalypse. In contrast, the soil in the farmland was clearly artificially modified.
Therefore, he asked indirectly, without directly asking Lamei how Mingyue Base modified the scorched earth.
He knew that if he directly asked about the modification, Lamei would instinctively become defensive and he wouldn't get the answer.
So, he pretended to be ignorant and asked curiously why Mingyue Base's soil was unaffected by the environment.
Most people would instinctively correct him, saying it wasn't unaffected, but rather that it had been modified.
Then he could ask how it was modified, and everything would fall into place naturally.
"I'm sorry, sir, your question involves commercial secrets, and I'm not at liberty to answer."
Lamei smiled. Wen Qingtian had trained them extensively, and they had standard responses for all sorts of questions.
"Lamei, these crops are so high-yielding. The seeds must be very special, right?"
Seeing that Yue You hadn't achieved his goal and was about to speak again, Zhao Wumian stopped him with a look and asked with a smile.
One couldn't be too hasty; patience was needed. He changed direction.
"You're right. All the seeds are new varieties developed by our base.
They are more suitable for planting in the apocalyptic environment, which is why they are so high-yielding."
Lamei also smiled and answered with a mix of truth and falsehood, which was also within Wen Qingtian's contingency plan.
"Are those seeds for sale? Our Qinglong Base wants to purchase them."
Zhao Wumian seized the opportunity, not giving Lamei any time to prepare.
"Sir, I apologize. I am a staff member responsible for explanations, not sales.
If you have other needs, you will be served by the corresponding personnel once we reach the main venue."
This was an emergency response script formulated by Wen Qingtian. When encountering something uncertain or difficult to answer, they were to say this.
"Ah, help!"
Just as Zhao Wumian was about to press further, a scream was heard, interrupting his question.
