"Xixi, Professor Xu said I'm very hardworking and have good grades. It wasn't my fault that my advisor was arrested. He wants me to be his graduate student. That's Professor Xu, ahhhhh!"
She thought she'd only ever seen such a big shot in the news, and now he was her teacher? Hahaha, she'd be laughing in her sleep tonight.
"Xixi, it's so great to have you. This is what they mean by 'when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.'" Xu Yue hugged Gu Xixi tightly and didn't let go, while also planting several kisses on her face from every angle.
Xu Yue jumped off Gu Xixi again and happily spun around next to her. Gu Xixi jumped along with her, matching her joy.
Xu Yi: ...
Jiang Xi smiled enviously, and Chen Yu followed Xu Yue to jump around Gu Xixi, "Xixi, I'm so happy! You two are like patients who have eaten poisonous mushrooms, hahaha."
Old Chen: ! !
What is this brat saying? What kind of straight-man talk is this? How could Gu Xixi like him like this? Now he knows why he's a peony fan.
Useless stuff.
Xu Yue: ...
Gu Xixi had become immune to Chen Yu's jerkiness. She grabbed his collar and was about to slap him when she suddenly remembered that his father was still there, so she awkwardly stopped in her tracks.
The moment Gu Xixi turned around, Old Chen was already beside her like the wind, grabbing Chen Yu's hair. "Xixi, you're too gentle. It doesn't hurt when you hit someone. This child is prone to being naughty. You have to be like me. Watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate once."
Gu Xixi was bewildered in the wind: ...
Thankfully, it was only demonstrated once...
Seeing Chen Yu's unfortunate situation, Gu Xixi, Xu Yi, Jiang Xi, and Xu Yue all laughed. Aunt Qin, with her professional demeanor, simply maintained a smile, but her eyes were almost squinting into slits.
Chen Yu finally managed to break free, but was chased all over the house.
At this moment, Professor Wei, Professor Wang, and others arrived. They looked at them with curiosity, and Professor Wang joked, "Old Chen still has a childlike heart, still teasing the kids with the game of 'Old Winter Melon Catches Chicks'."
"Haha, Xixi, you don't mind if we come here for a free meal, right?"
Gu Xixi then ushered the group to sit on the sofa, and Aunt Qin chimed in, "I'll add a few more dishes right away."
So the group sat in the living room joking around, and after lunch, they went directly to the meeting room they had used last time.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone who had attended the meeting last time, except for Chu Anguo, had arrived.
With Chu Anguo absent, Gu Xixi, as the person in charge here, was naturally responsible for chairing the entire meeting, while Chen Yu and Jiang Xi were responsible for taking meeting minutes.
Gu Xixi hated idle chatter, so she got straight to the point: "The first part of today's meeting will be about the progress of our various research projects and the difficulties we've encountered that require my cooperation. Jiang Xi will be responsible for taking notes. Once I have the results, Chen Yu will then coordinate with the professors to follow up."
The group responded in unison and then began to report.
"I've been handling all the usual trivial matters smoothly. With Chu Feng's help, I haven't encountered any problems that are difficult to solve," Old Chen said first.
"We've collected too many samples of otherworldly organisms in biology, and the workload is heavy, but we're already recruiting new lab staff. As for the difficulties, based on the current test results, the medicinal herbs in Shen Qingyan's world contain some trace elements that don't exist in our world, and we can't completely replicate them in our world."
Professor Wei took out his notebook and read aloud.
"So I'd like to try it out in the primitive world and the farming world. Of course, I'm most looking forward to the farming world. I need you to communicate with them. The rest of the issues are for our experiment. I'll list the requirements for recruiting and hand them over to Elder Chen."
"I've liaised with the National Security Bureau and the Space Center, and they've already prepared the necessary documents to address the issues they're facing. Lieutenant General Emerald just brought new materials today, so they should be moving on to the next round of testing. There are no other problems at the moment."
……
After everyone had finished discussing the issues and organizing their thoughts, they began to share their findings.
Old Xu spoke first, after all, his project was the first to start. "Besides the charity work we did with Zhongzhen Group last time, our latest research focuses on the heart, and the first research subject is Ms. Chen Anna... In addition, we have updated many domestic drugs on the market based on Shen Qingyan's research on the extraction and replication of medicinal materials, striving to make them more effective and cheaper. We have already started cooperating with several pharmaceutical companies..."
"The mecha combat force is also making steady progress. I heard they just finalized a deal on a mental energy sleep pillow today. Hehe, I wonder when it will be ready for use. As for General Mao De..."
……
After two hours of communication and discussion, the meeting concluded. Jiang Xi and Chen Yu were organizing the meeting documents in the conference room, while the professors, still busy, took their leave.
Gu Xixi called out to Chu Feng, "In four days, the farming world will reach the sixth transaction. At that time, the fifth transaction world will open. After the transaction with the fifth world ends, the mode of traveling with a supermarket will be activated."
[Brother Tongzi, I remember you said before that I would travel alone for the first time, and that I could bring one more person with me for each new tradable world. What about the work schedule for the permanent staff who stay in a trading world, the sales clerks in the otherworldly supermarket? Can only one stay in each world?]
Gu Xixi asked herself the question first.
[Working from 9 am to 6 pm, with weekends off, but the employee can only be teleported back when the trading dimension is closed after six months. Therefore, weekends can only be spent resting in the supermarket. Because the system only provides comprehensive, all-time personal protection for the host, and the protection for anyone else is limited to the supermarket, others in the trading dimension must have a certain level of self-protection ability to go out.]
[Only one person can remain permanently in each world to work as a supermarket clerk. For example, the third time a host transmigrates with a supermarket, they can bring two people, but after completing the mission, only one person can remain permanently. This pattern continues for subsequent transmigrations.]
That means a world would end in about six months, which isn't too far off. Although the security protection mechanism has a limited scope, the country has a lot of firearms, so the problem is even less serious.
Gu Xixi relayed the information to Chu Feng for recording.
[Host, please note that once you achieve the mission objectives for each trading world, you can begin the next trading world traversal. There are no restrictions on traversing worlds you have already traversed.]
"I understand." Gu Xixi nodded again and continued to instruct Chu Feng, "So, have the staff who can accompany you through time travel been trained?"
"We already have five candidates who are ready to report at any time: four female soldiers and one male soldier. In addition to meeting the requirements in terms of physical fitness and combat skills, they are all very approachable, which should be beneficial to the supermarket's operation."
Chu Feng explained carefully, and also took out photos and documents to show Gu Xixi.
As Gu Xixi looked at the document, Chu Feng asked again, "If you want to choose one in advance, you have a comprehensive personal ability assessment exam this afternoon, and you can meet and choose one then."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xixi was stunned. An exam?!
She's already a government employee, she's a billionaire, and she still has to take an exam!
That makes sense. She has the system's protection when trading in the other world, but what if the system malfunctions? What if she gets bullied in the real world? In short, it's always good to have more skills, and the higher your own bottom line and abilities, the better.
Just as the two finished speaking, Gu's mother came in from outside, carrying large and small bags. Her smile was also very strange, making Gu Xixi's skin crawl. "Xixi, are you free now?"
