However, as a fellow Earthling, she guessed that this was a delaying tactic by Gu Xixi, who probably wanted to discuss what she could offer in exchange for the spaceship's research data.

However, she was very confident that no matter what Gu Xixi offered, she would not be fooled.

"Okay, I agree. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you, Miss Gu. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!" Emerald shook hands briefly with Gu Xixi, then turned and walked into the mist.

The entire area is bustling with activity due to the large amount of income and work today.

Chu Feng followed Gu Xixi into the supermarket before asking, "How are the arrangements for treating Jade to dinner?"

"Whether we can exchange for a spaceship depends on the skills of the chefs we arrange. Prepare some of each of the eight major cuisines. Also, prepare ten more truckloads of fresh ingredients, including vegetables, meat, and fruit. If we don't need them, we can exchange them with the primitive world. Anyway, nothing will go to waste."

Gu Xixi made the arrangements first before explaining her own ideas.

"Let's take a gamble. A bicycle can turn into a spaceship. It's worth it. We haven't had fresh food in so long. I believe they're all Earthlings, and they'll like it."

Chu Feng indicated that he understood, and Chen Yu gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Boss, you're awesome."

The system is amazing. It understands every dimension and she, and it knows when to remind her of information she might easily forget. This system is so thoughtful.

If this deal goes through, the food problem will be easier to solve. First, the primitive world has fresh, untapped land resources. Letting them grow vegetables for six months will definitely be enough to supply the vegetables needed by the technological world.

Secondly, the next time the jade comes, you can trade once more, which will fulfill the requirement of five trades. The time after that will unlock the fourth dimensional trading world, providing more opportunities to obtain food.

Thirdly, the country's grain reserves are actually astonishing, and with the ability to purchase and import grain, this is not a problem no matter how you calculate it.

In short, there's nothing to worry about.

Gu Xixi stepped into the office area of ​​the next building, and Professor Wang, who hadn't been there for a long time, suddenly poked his head out and said, "Gu Xixi, come here, I have something to tell you."

"Professor Wang, has there been a major new discovery regarding antiques?"

"No, no, what I meant was that you work every day, and young people should go out and have some free time. Our C University is celebrating its 70th anniversary and has invited many outstanding alumni. I would like to invite you to join in the fun. Your crush from your school days is also coming!"

Professor Wang winked. He remembered the first time he met Gu Xixi was because she was chasing after that boy. This time, the temptation should be enough, right?

Gu Xixi wanted to laugh, but Chen Yu's gossipy eyes darted around. "I want to go too."

Professor Wang was about to refuse, but then seemed to remember something and nodded, "Okay, you can all go. You're her personal assistant, so you definitely have to go. I'll send you the time and place next week, remember."

He's done his best to get things done for that brat Xu Leyang from the Zhongzhen Group.

The main reason is that the guy is really good and deserves Gu Xixi. Besides, Xu Leyang is genuinely coming, so he wasn't lying to her.

……

On the other side, in the Great Huang Dynasty, in Xilan County.

When Shen Qingyan drove the oxcart back, the constables quickly went to meet him.

When Constable Cheng saw that he hadn't brought anything back this time, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, the passage will close in a quarter of an hour, why not..."

"Everyone, immediately set off at full speed to notify all the people in the county, and then send messages by carrier pigeon to other prefectures, counties, and districts to post notices informing the people that no one is allowed to linger in the riverbed within three days. The source of the Mi River is about to flood, and those who linger may be in danger of losing their lives. We must act quickly!"

Their time is running out.

Shen Qingyan drove the oxcart towards the county government office, and Constable Cheng immediately gathered people to handle the matter. The riverbed had long been dry, and there was usually no one there, except for passersby.

But I'm afraid of the worst-case scenario. These are all lives that have been saved with great difficulty, and not a single one can be wasted.

So he didn't have time to ask Shen Qingyan how he knew the news. He just blindly believed him and ordered everyone to ride the horses of the officials who were helping with disaster relief. They rode all the way to inform the whole county, all the way to the next county.

"Attention all people! The source of the Mi River is about to flood, and the drought will be relieved. No one should stay in the riverbed for even a moment for the next three days, lest they be endangered. Those who hear this must spread the word and inform each other!"

As the voices spread, people stopped in the streets and began to discuss it.

"Did you hear that clearly? Lord Shen said that the source of the Mi River is going to flood? Is that true? Does that mean we can still expect a good harvest this year?"

"Then this year's New Year will be much better. Since Lord Shen has already spread the news, it must be true. That's great. I'm going to tell the villagers."

"This damned drought is finally coming to an end. It's all thanks to Lord Shen and Miss Gu. What kind of hidden family are they? They're so powerful. By the way, I received a wooden doll of Miss Gu that Lord Shen personally carved. I have to go back and pay my respects. These two are practically living bodhisattvas."

……

The streets were bustling with people, creating a scene of prosperity and abundance.

Shen Qingyan stood at the entrance of the county government office, oblivious to the scorching hot wind that whipped at the corners of his clothes. He was calculating in his mind that a day and a night would be enough to spread the news and make arrangements.

Before he goes to see Miss Gu tomorrow morning, he can release the water into the river channel and return the water storage ball.

Such a precious item might cause Gu Xixi concern.

The constables set off in the morning, and the news reached the nearby county, town, and village by the afternoon.

That evening, all the constables returned to the county office, ate dinner, and were supposed to go home, but they all stayed because they wanted to witness how the dried-up source of the Mi River would regenerate.

The source of the Mi River is located behind the mountains on the outskirts of Xilan County. It is a huge, deep lake, and it takes about 25 minutes to get there by fast horse from the county government.

Therefore, they must set off during the Chou hour (1-3 AM) to have enough time to travel back and forth, otherwise they will miss today's time for the cross-border trading.

At the end of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Shen Qingyan, carrying a box, and Constable Cheng and the other constables, holding torches, arrived at the cliff edge on the mountainside outside the city. Below the cliff was the source of the Mi River.

Shen Qingyan opened the box, took out all the water-storing balls, arranged them neatly in a row, and placed them on the ground.

He then took out the remote control for the water-storing ball and, in the torchlight, began operating it as Gu Xixi had taught him. Officer Cheng and the others stared intently at the large, silvery-white ball, hardly believing that this thing could fill Mi Jiang.

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes seemingly saying: "Could Lord Shen have been deceived?"

However, in the next instant, one of the silver balls flew up, straight into the sky, and flew to the sky above the source of the Mi River. It quickly grew larger, like a huge spherical mountain hanging in mid-air.

"It, it's gotten bigger! What, what is this thing?!" Officer Cheng exclaimed, his legs buckling and he knelt down.
