Yuan Lei swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "You said you've solved the problem of plants that can't reproduce because of your superpowers."

"Ah."

"You also said that you awakened a psychic ability and discovered that everyone possesses psychic power?"

Shi Jia nodded. According to the development trend of Yi Mu Star, developing mental power is an inevitable path. Although it was not in her plan, since she had accidentally mentioned it, it was not unreasonable to put it on the agenda.

Although it will be very busy in the early stages, it will also make things easier for her plans.

"Then, the key to solving the problem of stimulating plant reproduction is mental power!" Yuan Lei finally found the connection between the two.

“Yes.” Seeing Yuan Lei’s bewildered look, Shi Jia explained again, “Because I was curious about why plants that were forced to grow couldn’t reproduce, I used my spiritual power to probe inside the lettuce while I was forcing it to grow. That’s how I discovered the virus invasion…”

Shi Jia reiterated his observations.

Yuan Lei finally understood completely. "So, whether it's enveloping the virus or driving it away, it all depends on mental power."

Shi Jia nodded.

"But how do we develop mental strength?" Yuan Lei frowned, looking at his daughter. Thinking of the dangers she had experienced, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

“Developing mental power…” I’m familiar with that, Shi Jia quickly stopped herself, she needed to maintain her persona. “I’m not too sure either.”

“However, based on my experience using mental power these past few days, mental power is a super-enhanced version of willpower. You can study it from this perspective,” Shi Jia said.

"idea?"

"Hmm, or rather, brainwaves. I remember before the apocalypse, didn't a game company release a holographic game?" Shi Jia recalled Yuan Muxia's memories; Yuan Lei, who was only in his early thirties at the time, was very interested in it. He talked about it every day at home.

He also said that if it weren't so expensive, he would definitely book a holographic capsule.

Yuan Lei blinked, clearly the memory was too distant and he couldn't recall it for a moment.

Seeing this, Shi Jia interrupted his thoughts and said, "Dad, can you approve that piece of land outside the base for me?"

"No way!" Yuan Lei said firmly, as if his earlier confusion was just an illusion. "Do you know how dangerous it is outside the base? If a beast tide breaks out, all your efforts will be in vain."

“I’ll go see the person in charge of the breeding base tomorrow and ask him to allocate you a piece of land,” Yuan Lei said, leaving no room for refusal.

Shi Jia naturally disagreed, saying, "The land at the cultivation base does not meet my requirements, and my planting methods are different from those at the cultivation base."

“Dad!” Shi Jia said seriously, “If humanity wants to develop, it cannot hide forever behind walls made of steel. If we hide inside, humanity will only decline, not progress.”

"If it were two years ago, I wouldn't have made this request. But now the environment on Planet Yimu has stabilized. Although there are occasional outbreaks of alien beasts, humanity is capable of handling them."

"Haven't you noticed? In the last two years, the number of human casualties in the beast tides has been decreasing. In the last six months, no one has died."

"Now is the time to take the first step in exploration! Nature has given humanity the opportunity to develop, and we should not give it up!" Shi Jia said passionately, leaving Yuan Lei stunned.

Finally, he said, "Xiaxia, why don't you consider working in the publicity department?"

Shi Jia rolled her eyes. "Anyway, I'm not going to the cultivation base. Tomorrow I'll go outside to investigate the soil conditions. Besides, even if Dad doesn't support me, I'll still establish an agricultural research base outside!"

At this moment, Shi Jia was definitely acting like a rebellious child.

How could Yuan Lei, a doting father to his daughter, disagree?

The next day, Zhong Qingyu, who hadn't waited for Shi Jia to come to work, made another call to the person in charge, and then Yuan Lei received a call from Hao Ren, the person in charge of the cultivation base.

"Brother Lei, where's Xiaxia? Why didn't she come to work?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Lei paused in his work, which was flipping through documents, and said helplessly, "Children have their own ideas, and it's not easy for me, as her father, to persuade her."

"what happened?"

“Xiaxia wants to go outside the base to reclaim wasteland. I’ve tried to persuade her until my saliva is dry, but I can’t change her mind. There’s nothing I can do.” Yuan Lei said helplessly.

"What? They went to clear land outside the base?" Hao Ren's voice was extremely loud.

"Let her be. She'll know to turn back when she hits a wall," Yuan Lei said.

"咚咚-"

"Please come in!"

"Deputy Base Commander, the meeting is about to begin," the secretary said as he walked in.

"Okay, I'll be right there." He had discussed the issue of mental power with the base commander this morning, which led to this meeting. "Brother Hao, sorry, let's talk another day." He then hung up the phone.

Hao Ren, on the other end of the phone, snapped out of his daze and started cursing. He called Zhong Qingyu, gave him a good scolding, and then said, "Alright, just leave Yuan Muxia alone. The cultivation base isn't short of a planter!"

Zhong Qingyu stared blankly at the communication bracelet, then sighed deeply. Where in the cultivation base wasn't there a shortage of planters? The base's demand for food was increasing, but the food production at the cultivation base hadn't increased at all.

Yesterday, the orchard lost over a dozen fruit trees. Keep in mind that cultivating fruit trees takes at least six months. Even a level six planter could manage that!
Zhong Qingyu kicked away the pebbles at his feet. Honestly, all they do is assign tasks and make demands, without ever considering the actual situation!
Wang Baobao, who was planting vegetables at the time, saw Zhong Qingyu and they waved to each other.

Zhong Qingyu walked over with a frown, but when he saw the small figure standing in the middle of a patch of bright green lettuce seedlings, his expression softened immediately.

"Wang Baobao, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhong Qingyu remembered the names of every planter.

"Manager Zhong, what about Sister Yuanmu Xia from yesterday?" Wang Baobao asked in confusion.

"You know her?" Zhong Qingyu asked in surprise. "She's not coming to the base anymore."

"Not coming? Why?" Wang Baobao was puzzled. Her superpowers were so strong, and her planting skills were also very high. Why wouldn't she come to the cultivation base?
"Who knows?" Zhong Qingyu was in a bad mood. "Wang Baobao, the vegetables you planted are doing very well. It looks like they'll be ready to harvest in five days. Not bad."

Wang Baobao nodded happily. As long as she harvested vegetables, she could receive a reward, which she could then use to give her mother the repair fluid.

"Do a good job, I believe in you!" Zhong Qingyu said, then turned and left. He still had a lot to do, and as a grower himself, he also had to take care of his own vegetable garden.

Wang Baobao snapped out of her daze; Zhong Qingyu was already gone. She touched the seeds in her pocket, then looked at the soil at her feet. "I hope digging some up and taking them home won't be noticed?"

"Miss Yuan, are you sure you want to build a glass greenhouse here?"

At this moment, Shi Jia and seven or eight men were standing in the southeast of the base, where there was a thicket of bushes about ten meters high.

Yes, shrubs over ten meters tall! After the apocalypse, all the plants and animals on Planet Yimu seemed to have taken growth hormones, increasing in height and size several times over.

Especially plants!
"Of course, didn't I already give you a deposit of 50,000?"

Shi Jia hired a private construction company, or rather, a commissioned company that did everything from building houses and digging wells to house cleaning!
After all, it's the apocalypse now, and there's no need to build houses at all.

"Yes, but it will take quite a bit of work to clean this!" the man said, rubbing three fingers together as he spoke.

He seriously doubted whether the other party was out of their mind to want to build a greenhouse outside the base, but who would be a fool not to make money! Who cares if he's lost his mind, as long as he can make money!
Hmm~ How many contribution points should he collect for clearing this dense bush?

Twenty thousand? No, no! That's too difficult, at least fifty thousand!

The next second, he was dumbfounded! (End of Chapter)
