Chapter 1722: Chapter 1054: Bai Lingzhen’s Changing Mindset
Zhuang Shuyuan stood right next to Bai Lingzhen, and at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat as well.
Her heart was alerted; this girl was really too formidable!
She quickly sensed Bai Lingzhen’s thoughts.
Upon sensing, she was instantly taken aback.
She felt that Bai Lingzhen really had no ill intentions.
She was just calculating what it would take to get Liang Yuan to give her special treatment.
Zhuang Shuyuan sensed this and felt even more frustrated.
Turns out, she wasn’t deliberately trying to seduce Liang Yuan; every frown and smile, every move she made, naturally carried a seductive allure.
She glanced at Liang Yuan, only to see that his gaze had already moved away from the other party’s pair of Inverted Mountains.
This made Zhuang Shuyuan let out a sigh of relief.
“Hmph, consider yourself steady.”
However, she immediately tensed up again in her heart.
Too steady… Can Bai Lingzhen make his heart flutter?
For a moment, her emotions were complicated, not knowing whether to be happy or frustrated.
At this time, Liang Yuan spoke, “Miss Bai, you’re too kind. I’m the leader of Yangshan. Showing you around Yangshan’s base is only natural. Minister Zhuang, what are you standing there for?”
Zhuang Shuyuan snapped back to her senses and quickly said, “Yes, yes, Lingzhen, I told you, Mr. Liang is the most wise shelter leader. You coming here to do business, you definitely made the right choice.”
With that, she took Bai Lingzhen’s hand and smiled, “Come on, we’ll take you to see Yangshan’s farms and factories.”
“Our farm at Yangshan has now officially entered the era of mechanized production. We’ve long found high-quality rice and soybean seeds, and now the yield per mu is over several tons.”
Bai Lingzhen was shocked when she heard this.
Soybeans and rice yielding several tons per mu?
To know, even before the apocalypse, high-yield fields only produced about 400-700 jin per mu for soybeans, and 1000-1200 jin for rice.
Yangshan’s rice and soybeans are yielding several tons per mu?
Doesn’t this completely solve the food problem?
She couldn’t help asking, “Then how much land does Yangshan have?”
Zhuang Shuyuan shook her head, “I don’t know exactly how much land we have; the people in the Ministry of Agriculture should know.”
Liang Yuan said, “I don’t know the exact data, but currently, both Miyuan Rainforest and Mirage Snake Space have large areas left for cultivation.”
“Other major Floating Islands also have reserved land, and the plan is to expand the cultivation area soon.”
“Currently, the grain production of Yangshan has long met the population needs within Yangshan’s sphere of influence.”
Zhuang Shuyuan laughed, “It’s not just about the yield; the maturity cycle of mutated crops is astoundingly fast. Some mature every three months, and some even every month.”
“In that sense, there are actually more varieties of food to eat than before the apocalypse.”
Bai Lingzhen finally gained a deeper understanding of Yangshan’s situation.
This is a truly super shelter, having fully achieved self-sufficiency.
Coming here to trade was indeed an opportunity granted by them.
In fact, even if she hadn’t come, such a super shelter lacks nothing at all.
On the contrary, it should be she who should be pleading with them.
Only now did she understand the intention behind Zhuang Shuyuan’s words to her earlier.
Zhuang Shuyuan said she must come up with conditions that would move Mr. Liang.
She thought the other was referring to her trade channels and the super trade platform of the Department Store Alliance behind her.
At the time, Zhuang Shuyuan lightly tapped her chest, and she thought it was a joke.
Little did she know, it seemed that the only thing she could offer was her still decent looks!
Thinking about this made her feel incredibly awkward.
“Could it be that Sister Shuyuan wasn’t joking, but serious?”
As she thought of this, her heart began to race.
Subconsciously, she glanced at Liang Yuan beside her.
She couldn’t help recalling Zhuang Shuyuan’s words, ‘He likes them big.’
She quickly lowered her head, her cheeks blushing with two shades of red.
Looking down, she noticed her own magnificent form, and her blush deepened.
“No way, no way, this must be my overthinking.”
She shook her head repeatedly, yet the sentence from Zhuang Shuyuan kept resurfacing in her mind.
Zhuang Shuyuan and Liang Yuan accompanied her to view Yangshan’s farm, crops, various vegetables, and Mutated Fruit.
At the same time, there were farm staff who would come over immediately to explain the crops.
Bai Lingzhen listened somewhat absent-mindedly, occasionally spacing out, or glancing at Liang Yuan from the corner of her eye.
Occasionally, when her gaze met Liang Yuan’s, she quickly looked away.
This surprised Liang Yuan; Bai Lingzhen, this Sichuan girl, was previously a carefree girl, so why has she become so easily shy now?
He found it strange, but he didn’t engage in mind reading.
He didn’t want to constantly peek into others’ hearts when interacting with people.
Living like that would become far too dull.
Seeing through everything and everyone really isn’t interesting.
Just look at Zhuang Shuyuan; she doesn’t have even two close friends around her.
After all, everyone is afraid of her, afraid that their innermost secrets will be discovered by her.
Zhuang Shuyuan did notice the anomaly and very unethically eavesdropped on Bai Lingzhen’s thoughts.
After knowing the turmoil in Bai Lingzhen’s heart, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
On one hand, she hoped to have an ally like Bai Lingzhen.
On the other hand, she was a bit jealous.
Bai Lingzhen’s figure and appearance were no worse than hers.
She was really worried about not being able to control her in the future.
If they formed a gang, resisting Yang Mei and the others, she might defeat Yang Mei only to end up competing with Bai Lingzhen for favor.
She regretted it secretly, thinking she should’ve chosen Nai Bai for this plan.
That silly girl has the desire but lacks the courage; if Liang Yuan took her, she’d definitely obey her.
“Forget it, forget it; it’s already come to this.”
Zhuang Shuyuan sighed; finally, it was noon after visiting the Weapon Factory and nearing meal time.
Liang Yuan said, “It’s getting late; let’s go to the cafeteria for lunch.”
Zhuang Shuyuan quickly said, “Hey, Liang Yuan, Lingzhen rarely comes to Yangshan. You’re taking her to the cafeteria?”
Liang Yuan, surprised, asked, “If not the cafeteria, then what?”
“Hehe, come with me, I know a good place, just opened.” She smiled mysteriously.
Liang Yuan, surprised, said, “There’s a place I don’t know about?”
“Hey, all you do every day is cultivation; what do you know?”
Saying this, she pulled Liang Yuan and Bai Lingzhen along, heading straight down the mountain.
At the halfway point of Little Straw Mountain, there’s a natural small valley. It used to be a forest, but today, as Zhuang Shuyuan dragged him over, Liang Yuan astonishingly discovered it.
At some unknown time, a cluster of buildings had been erected there.
The buildings were ornately carved and painted, antique in style, clearly of an ancient design.
Liang Yuan, surprised, “When was this place built?”
Zhuang Shuyuan smiled, “It’s been built for a while; do you know whose property this is?”
Liang Yuan wondered, “Whose?”
“Take a guess.”
Liang Yuan chuckled, “Seems like it’s someone I wouldn’t expect.”
