Chapter 197

The implication is that Gu Feng will have to protect Ye Xi'an when the Zerg arrive.

Yi Yang was just making empty promises to men; he was serious about it. As long as Ye Xi'an was alright, what was wrong with doing something immoral?

“I don’t think Xi’an would accept me.” Gu Feng raised his hand to touch his horn, his palm slightly clenched, his tone low: “I’m a defective product, no female would accept me.”

"But if the Zerg invade, I will come to your aid."

With Gu Feng's words, Ji Jiangci felt at ease.

Ji Jiangci and Gu Feng returned to the living room and found that everyone in the family was gathered in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Ji Jiangci asked curiously as he approached and saw what Ye Xi'an was doing.

Ye Xi'an carefully took out a plant that still emitted a faint blue light from the still space; the ice crystals at its roots had not completely melted.

However, due to the loss of too much cold energy, it has already shrunk somewhat.

Ye Xi'an gently placed the plant on the emptier shelf of the refrigerator's crisper compartment, right next to the cooling pipes on the inner wall.

Ye Xi'an held his breath, while the others gathered around Ye Xi'an and the plant, their eyes wide as they waited quietly, as if it were not a plant, but a newborn cub.

Time ticked by, and she practically lay on her stomach by the refrigerator door, observing through the not-so-clear glass partition.

"Look!"

Ye Xi'an suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise and yanked open the refrigerator door.

The blue plant showed no signs of withering; in fact, the leaves at its top seemed to have unfurled slightly, and its deep blue light appeared even purer in the cool air.

It is really growing.

This realization made Ye Xi'an's eyes light up instantly, brighter than the stars.

"It's alive! It really can grow in a refrigerator!"

She excitedly grabbed the arm of Bo Jing, who was closest to her, her voice trembling.

Bo Jing looked down at the plant that was still thriving despite the low temperature, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It seems this thing really can't function without a low-temperature environment."

"I want to buy a freezer, a super-large freezer!"

Ye Xi'an made his decision almost immediately, his tone resolute.

When the freezer is purchased, it will be specially used to cultivate this magical plant, so that she can have countless plants that can enhance her superpowers, and she can sell any surplus for money.

I'm sure this amazing plant will fetch a good price.

Soon, a giant upright freezer that took up almost half the room was delivered to the door.

Ye Xi'an directed the robot to install and debug it, and then eagerly transplanted all the blue plants he had brought back from the extreme cold into it.

The pale blue light inside the freezer formed a continuous expanse, resembling a miniature, frigid night sky.

Lin Zhijing looked at the plants in the freezer and was also a little shocked. If Ye Xi'an could really cultivate them on a large scale, how powerful would their family become?

"Sian, why don't you give them names?"

"Hmm, let's call them 'ice plants'."

Ye Xi'an put his hands on his hips, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and casually named the magical plant.

Lin Zhijing walked slowly closer, his gray eyes scrutinizing the scene inside the freezer, his brows furrowing slightly.

He reached out and touched the cold cabinet door; even through the metal, he could feel the chill emanating from it.

“Sian, this plant…we know so little about it.”

His voice was as calm as ever, but carried a hint of barely perceptible worry.

"Won't there be any unknown risks in cultivating them on such a large scale?" Unknown species, especially those that can greatly enhance superpowers, are often accompanied by unpredictability.

It would be terrible if long-term use left behind the same side effects as the medication.

Ye Xi'an's excitement faded slightly; she knew Lin Zhijing's concerns were valid.

"Then what should we do? We can't just hand it over to the Federation, we only have so many of these."

Give me one.

Lin Zhijing looked at Ye Xi'an, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"I can conduct a comprehensive analysis of it, understand its ingredients and mechanism of action, and if there are any side effects, I can detect them in time."

His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the silver-rimmed eye sockets reflected a sharp light under the lamp.

"Until you have a complete understanding of it, I do not recommend that any of you use it lightly."

Yi Yang, who was listening nearby, originally wanted to go over and ask for one to see if he could upgrade, but he was instantly scared back by Lin Zhijing's serious expression. His sky-blue eyes were filled with "I'm so scared".

Ye Xi'an naturally had no objection.

"Okay, take as much as you need."

Safety is always the top priority.

She carefully took out a particularly vigorous ice plant from the freezer and handed it to Lin Zhijing.

The ethereal blue light of the ice grass reflected in Lin Zhijing's gray pupils, flickering uncertainly.

He took the ice plant, his fingertips touching the leaves, and a cool sensation, yet containing immense energy, seeped into his skin.

"But there are no laboratories or equipment here, so I have to go back to the training base for a while, but I'll be back soon."

After saying goodbye to Ye Xi'an, Lin Zhijing drove away in his Max.

Ye Xi'an stood at the entrance of the residential area, watching Max disappear rapidly, his expression changing slightly.

Ji Jiangci thought Ye Xi'an was reluctant to part with Lin Zhijing, so he gently patted Ye Xi'an's shoulder, his blue eyes filled with reassurance.

"Don't worry, Lin Zhijing knows what he's doing."

Ye Xi'an shook his head: "I'm not worried about him."

She pinched her chin, her brows furrowing: "Could it be that my memory is playing tricks on me? Didn't Max run out of fuel?"

Upon hearing Ye Xi'an's words, Bo Jing, who was standing next to him, suddenly cursed under his breath, thinking that Lin Zhijing had indeed done it on purpose!

Lin Zhijing's laboratory was brightly lit, and various sophisticated instruments were running at high speed around the dark blue ice grass.

Complex energy fluctuation patterns jumped continuously on the optical computer screen, and each trace element that makes up the ice grass was analyzed one by one.

Time slipped away quietly as I focused on my research.

Finally, the laboratory door opened again.

Lin Zhijing came out, looking somewhat tired, but his gray eyes were unusually bright, even...excited.

It was especially rare to see such emotion on Lin Zhijing's face, who was usually aloof.

The curious soldiers outside the window peeked out the window and shuddered at the smile on Lin Zhijing's face.

A tall, deep-voiced soldier lowered his voice and asked the person next to him, "What happened the last time Dr. Lin laughed like that?"

"I remember! The last time Dr. Lin laughed like that, someone in the military camp had their genitals explode!"

Everyone shuddered instantly.

"What are you doing here instead of training?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhijing's voice, the soldier who had been whispering stiffened, his legs trembling as he straightened up, turned around, and gave a blank salute: "Hello, Dr. Lin! We'll go to training now."

Before Lin Zhijing could ask any more questions, everyone had already disappeared in an instant.
