Looking at the pitiful Wan Jiangui, Chen Luo rubbed his head.

What to do with this kid?

He has no value anymore.

After thinking about it, he decided to take him back and make him an ordinary member.

First, he had to have some decency and not kick the ladder away after crossing the river. Wan Jiangui had been an undercover agent and helped him get a lot of high-level crystals.

Second, Chen Luo despised Wan Jiangui for being selfish and willing to betray his sworn brother for wealth and glory.

But most people are like that; Wan Jiangui just had the opportunity.

Wan Jiangui sobbed, "Big Brother, do you know how I've spent the last few dozen days? It was a living hell."

Chen Luo said with distaste, "Alright, Big Brother will take you back. You better behave yourself and strive to find your own value."

Wan Jiangui nodded like a pecking chick. Anything was better than staying with Da Zhuang.

Chen Luo, holding Wan Jiangui, wandered around. Once his abilities recovered, he used Void Walk to return to the base.

It was still because Ning Shuang's pearls weren't enough; otherwise, why would Chen Luo have waited?

Hmm, how exactly can I make Ning Shuang cry? The kind where she cries every day, three times a day.

Chen Luo casually asked, "Jian Gui, do you know how to make a woman cry?"

Wan Jiangui froze, his eyes darted around, and he smiled lewdly, "Hehehehehe, hehehehehe."

Chen Luo realized and cursed inwardly. I'm a good man; how can I use such methods?

Back at the base, Chen Luo was about to hand Wan Jiangui over to Kuang Lei, letting the volatile Kuang Lei take him in.

If Wan Jiangui dared to be a troublemaker, Kuang Lei wouldn't be easy to talk to.

But apart from the guards, there were hardly any figures to be seen in the base.

Although most of the members had gone to other continents, where was the logistics personnel?

The member guarding the base said excitedly, "Leader, Elder Meng has developed a grain that can grow on its own! Everyone went to see it."

Grow on its own?

So that means no need for nature-type members?

Is it true?

If it was true, then that would mean they wouldn't have to worry about food in the future.

No matter how much supplies Chen Luo hoarded, there would be a day when they ran out. Although nature-type members could also plant crops, they were ultimately limited and couldn't support too many people.

Chen Luo followed the sound and found that the planting area was crowded with people.

Mi Ling and Mi Li were also there.

"The Leader is here, make way."

Everyone made way, letting Chen Luo walk in.

He saw a patch of light green plants growing on about half a mu of land, covered with rice ears.

The yield didn't seem high, only a little over a hundred jin. Converted to per mu yield, it was only two hundred jin.

However, if nature-type members weren't needed, and ordinary people could plant it, then even twenty jin per mu would be a treasure. There was plenty of land.

The labor force of the survivors, even at the fourth level, was at least equivalent to ten strong men before the apocalypse.

The little girl Meng Yin, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, listened to the congratulations of others with as much smugness as she could muster, her face full of pride.

Ma Yu was tasting a portion of cooked rice, and said with surprise, "It tastes pretty good."

Chen Luo asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing Chen Luo, Meng Yin's eyes lit up, and she ran over to claim credit, "Leader, I planted these rice seeds a month ago and didn't even bother with them. A month later, they grew automatically."

Wow, they don't even need people anymore! Plant them and don't worry about it; they grow by themselves?

Ordinary crops don't have this kind of vitality. It's practically like a mutated plant.

Chen Luo excitedly rubbed Meng Yin's head hard, causing her to stagger.

If humanity wants to continue, it absolutely cannot do without sustainably growing resources.

No matter how strong Chen Luo is, he can't conjure up resources.

The significance of Meng Yin's achievement is self-evident.

Chen Luo suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Don't be too happy too soon. Whether this success is accidental remains to be verified, and whether there are any adverse reactions to the human body after eating it also needs to be verified."

"By the way, how much of this seed can you produce in a day?"

Meng Yin said with some disappointment, "About a hundred mu of seeds per day."

If one mu yields two hundred jin, then a hundred mu is twenty thousand jin, ten tons, not enough for many people to eat.

Chen Luo nodded, not disappointed. Meng Yin is currently at the peak of the ninth level. If she reaches the King level, this output will increase tenfold at least.

A hundred tons a day would be enough for quite a few people to eat.

If supplemented by manual labor, with ordinary people carefully tending to these crops, the yield should continue to improve.

Chen Luo encouraged, "Very good, well done, Meng Yin. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight. From now on, you are Vice Leader Meng Yin. I'll find an opportunity to hold a ceremony for you."

Meng Yin was just an Elder before. This invention is enough for her to become a Vice Leader.

Chen Luo asked, "Can the seeds of other vegetables also be improved?"

Meng Yin, who was laughing like crazy, said sheepishly, "Currently, only rice, but I can experiment."

Chen Luo encouraged, "Still need to work hard, Meng Yinyin."

Other nature-types aren't useless either. Their abilities can accelerate plant growth and can also grow vegetables like black leaves.

For a time, Meng Yin temporarily became the most dazzling person in Dawn City.

Chen Luo walked towards the courtyard, feeling very happy.

Mi Fan and Ning Shuang didn't go to the planting area; they weren't interested.

Ning Shuang lay on the sofa, eating potato chips and watching TV, complaining, "I have no grudges against you, why are you treating me like an idiot?"

"Sigh, it's so hard to find a good-looking drama."

Mi Fan passed by and took a look. When you first came, you would cry at least three times watching this kind of plot.

Eh, the potato chips you're eating, could they be...?

Mi Fan bared her fangs and brandished her claws, "You're stealing my snacks? Let me teach you a lesson."

"Geji geji."

Ning Shuang was stunned and said, "They were on the table. I didn't know they were yours. I'll have Sister return them to you later."

Since she was idle anyway, Mi Fan deliberately played around with Ning Shuang.

"There's no such cheap thing! Behold the might of the Great Devil Mi Fan!"

Mi Fan tickled Ning Shuang.

In the past, Ning Shuang definitely wouldn't have let Mi Fan succeed, but now she felt guilty.

"Geji geji."

Ning Shuang laughed heartily, "Stop it, it's so itchy."

Suddenly, Ning Shuang laughed and cried.

She cried from being tickled.

Mi Fan was stunned. Finally, I've found the secret to making Ning Shuang cry.

Chen Luo happened to come back, and Mi Fan immediately told Chen Luo.

Chen Luo was overjoyed, but what reason could he use to tickle Ning Shuang?

Sigh, forget it, just say it directly.

Chen Luo coughed and said, "Ning Shuang, what do you think of this plan?"

Mi Li and Mi Ling also came back and heard Chen Luo's words. Mi Li's eyes lit up.

The effect of Ning Shuang's pearls was too rare; there was only one of her.

Mi Li looked at Ning Shuang expectantly.

Ning Shuang might not listen to Chen Luo, but she would listen to Mi Li.

Ning Shuang pouted, "Alright, I can endure it."

Chen Luo said, "You guys hold Ning Shuang down, to prevent her from kicking me and running away."

Mi Li and Mi Ling held Ning Shuang down, one on each side.

Cough cough, Chen Luo didn't dare to tickle Ning Shuang's waist, so he tickled the soles of Ning Shuang's feet.

Ning Shuang's expression went through the following stages.

First stage: Ning Shuang's body trembled wildly, and she laughed heartily.

Second stage: Wuwu, stop it, I can't take it anymore.

Third stage: Ning Shuang's face was full of tears, and she cried out with a wail.

Fourth stage: Ning Shuang, who had just cried, suddenly laughed again, uwu, ha.

……

Today is a special day. The author has been on Tomato for two and a half years.

Truly two and a half years; I came to Tomato in June 2020.

The number of words in the book has reached 858,000, which is more than the 854,000 words of the longest book I completed previously.

It's a breakthrough, and a million words will soon be reached.

To celebrate, I might take a break tomorrow...

Smack! I'm giving you an inch and you're taking a mile.
