Chapter 410 Zhuo Juntao: No problem
The Second Legion members finally got to drink the milk tea they had been craving, and its taste and texture reignited their passion for finding tea leaves.

Those snacks were delicious, and they hoped they could eat them someday.

then.

That night, Jiang Ci's terminal received countless messages, all from members of the Second Legion who wanted him to buy the recipe for making snacks.

Previously, only a few people had this intention, because not many people had eaten the snacks made by Bai Mianmian, so Jiang Ci ignored it.

However, this time, as if afraid he would ignore the request as before, the messages came in one after another.

Even Zhuo Juntao formally submitted an application report to him, and specifically noted that the number of people who agreed was the entire army corps.

Jiang Ci: "..."

He didn't agree to it immediately, but he didn't refuse outright either.

Although they were disappointed that they couldn't buy the snack recipe for the time being without approval, Zhuo Juntao and others could at least prepare the raw materials first.

The Second Legion, known for its quick action and ability to act on ideas, began sending members into the forest in batches the very next day.

Bai Mianmian knew that they had gone into the forest to look for things, because in the group chat she was in, people were sighing every day about not finding tea leaves and sunflowers.

She couldn't help them with this. Even if she had raw melon seeds to plant, it was impossible to harvest them in a short time.

Judging from the planting pot where she planted raw sunflower seeds, the sunflower seedlings have only grown to a few dozen centimeters tall so far, and it's hard to say when they will flower and bear fruit.

She didn't know about their desire to buy the formula, because no one had mentioned it, and Jiang Ci hadn't told her either.

In the days that followed, she stayed home and cooked delicious meals using the ingredients she had.

She kept most of the finished products herself, and also stuffed some into Jiang Ci's spatial storage.

That day, Bai Mianmian heard the group chat messages ringing continuously again.

I thought this message was just another complaint about not finding something, like before. But when I opened it, I found out that someone had been sent to D7 for a mission.

Rescue the tea trees.

When Bai Mianmian saw these words, she blinked in surprise, only then confirming that she hadn't misread them.

It turned out that the airship transporting the tea trees had an accident en route, and they needed to go and pick up the people and the tea trees.

After arranging for the personnel to go out, Jiang Ci, in the command office, glanced indifferently at Zhuo Juntao, who was still standing in front of him.

"Boss, I have something to report." Zhuo Juntao said, displaying his terminal screen and then adjusting its orientation to face Jiang Ci.

"I've compiled the data on the withering of plants in the forest that you asked me to monitor. Compared to before, the withering rate has increased by 35%. The withering rate of plants on other planets is also..."

Listening to Zhuo Juntao's report, Jiang Ci looked at the color palette on the terminal screen, along with photos of various withered or soon-to-wither plants. His expression remained unchanged, but his gaze darkened slightly.

Although he already knew that the level of pollutants across the entire interstellar space was much higher than before, seeing the high rate of plant withering in the forest made the situation even worse than he had anticipated.

Did the higher-ups know this would happen all along, which is why they ordered the legions to move to the frontier star system?

Jiang Ci pondered for a moment, and after Zhuo Juntao stopped speaking, he promptly said, "I understand. Go down and arrange the backup."

The problem of withering forest plants cannot be solved for the time being because the pollutants cannot be addressed at their source.

Jiang Ci, who was about to continue working, noticed that Zhuo Juntao was still standing there, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhuo Juntao nodded seriously, then suddenly smiled obsequiously, "Um... Boss, did you forget to approve the report I submitted earlier about the recipes for purchasing jerky and other snacks?"

The team has brought back quite a few mutated cows and pigs these past few days, and they've almost run out of dried meat. If they don't urge their leader soon, they'll be out of dried meat in a couple of days.

The milk tea and melon seeds couldn't be refilled due to ingredient issues, but we should try to get more dried meat and jerky. What if our boss just forgot?

"..." Jiang Ci did not expect him to bring this up at this time.

No one had mentioned it these past few days, and he thought they had all forgotten about it.

Seeing the expectant look on the person opposite him, Jiang Ci lowered his eyes and continued working. "Do you still remember how many crystal cores we owe?"

"Uh..." Zhuo Juntao paused for a moment, then hesitated before asking, "Does your sister-in-law urgently need crystal cores?"

If they urgently need the resources, they might consider using their rest time to hunt some prey to pay off their debts or sell it to other forces in exchange for crystal cores.

Or perhaps we could consider taking on some military missions?

The crystal cores they owed and the crystal cores they used to buy snack recipes can be paid off soon if they work hard.

I just don't know if the boss will allow it?

Seeing Zhuo Juntao's eyes darting around, Jiang Ci knew that he didn't want to give up buying the snack recipe, but was trying to figure out how to get the crystal cores.

Based on his past understanding of them, the first thing they would want most is definitely the crystal core.

However, now, it seems that crystal cores have become second only to what they want most.

"Would it be alright if we changed the reward to food?" Jiang Ci asked after a moment's thought.

The owed crystal cores must be repaid as soon as possible, and the debt must not be allowed to snowball.

However, considering Bai Mianmian's ability to purify pollutants and the delicious food she occasionally makes, Jiang Ci felt that his wish would probably be difficult to fulfill in the short term.

Because he couldn't refuse what Bai Mianmian offered.

Jiang Ci sighed inwardly.

No other faction in the entire intergalactic world dares to use crystal cores and eat food with zero pollution levels like them.

There are also dozens or even hundreds of recipes available for personal use.

If other forces had the opportunity to possess these things, they would probably rather go into debt than give them up.

Zhuo Juntao instantly snapped out of his thoughts about various debt repayment plans and looked at Jiang Ci with eyes that seemed to be shining.

"No problem. As long as the supplies for combat are guaranteed, everything else can be replaced with food." Zhuo Juntao said without the slightest hesitation.

Although they didn't conduct detailed tests on the food, what about the things they ate? After eating them for so long, even the most obtuse person would know the benefits.

While crystal cores and potions are important, they've always been with the legion. To be honest, those things are really not as good as the food that comes from Bai Mianmian.

Because those foods are not just delicious, they also have a high energy absorption rate and can be painlessly purified of pollutants!

Jiang Ci knew from the speed and certainty of his agreement that they had discussed this topic privately beforehand.

"Okay, I understand. You can arrange and plan this."

He should go back and ask about the snack recipe tonight.

"Yes, boss," Zhuo Juntao replied spiritedly.

While the two of them were discussing it, Bai Mianmian, who was at home, was distracted by the chat group on her terminal.
