Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

Chen Nian immediately realized what was happening.

The lieutenant colonel must have known that one of her team members was about to advance, which is why he gave her that reminder.

Chen Nian immediately replied, "Okay, we need to. Let's start now."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, the lieutenant colonel smiled, waved to the people outside, and a certificate appeared in front of her.

Chen Nian held the certificate in her hand, nodded and smiled at the lieutenant colonel.

"Thank you, sir."

The lieutenant colonel waved his hand and looked down at the document again.

Chen Nian left.

Only after Chen Nian left did the lieutenant colonel look up at her retreating figure.

"It's a pity my son is married, otherwise I would definitely bring that guy over to be close to her and get to know her better..."

"Achoo~"

Chen Nian sneezed outside the tent.

"What's going on?"

Chen Nian didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just because the temperature was a bit low in winter. They ran back from outside, rubbed their noses, and continued walking in the camp.

A cold night wind swept in from outside the camp, carrying the smell of dry sand and the lingering odor of burning diesel fuel.

The camp lights illuminated the dirt road.

Occasionally, other soldiers carrying weapons or folders would pass by on the other side, their footsteps clear and short on the compacted dirt road, appearing and disappearing quickly in the gaps of the night.

She walked back to the rest tent along the dirt road, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw that everyone else was already sitting down on their beds.

Su Wanqing was sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping the blade of her kukri. Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue were organizing the items in their backpacks in a more secluded spot. Fang Anya was sitting against a tent pole, flipping through a thin booklet, an old publication that had been placed on the corner of the table.

Chen Nian walked in, sat down on the edge of the bed near the door, leaned against the bed frame to catch her breath, and then looked at the group and said, "There's something I need to tell you."

Listening to Chen Nian's words.

Upon hearing Chen Nian's words, the group simultaneously stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes to her.

Su Wanqing placed the old cloth used to wipe the knife on her lap. Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue also turned around. Fang Anya closed the booklet in her hand and put it aside, then sat up straight in front of the tent pole.

"What good news?" Su Wanqing was the first to speak, her tone carrying a hint of anticipation, as if she had already guessed what it was about.

Chen Nian took the certificate out of her pocket and unfolded it under the light so that they could all see the stamp and signature on it.

Chen Nian said to the three girls, "The army group has its own channels for purchasing seeds. With this certificate, we can purchase them within the army. Let's all go and take a look later. If it's possible, we can exchange them back tonight."

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up when she saw the certificate. Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue also glanced at it; although they didn't show the same obvious emotion as Su Wanqing, their excitement was still evident.

"Go now?" Su Wanqing had already stood up, casually draping the cloth she used to wipe the knife over the edge of the bed. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Alright, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let's go now."

After leaving the tent, the group quickly arrived at the logistics department.

The tent was lit, and a middle-aged man in a logistics uniform was sitting behind a table organizing a pile of forms. He looked up and glanced at someone who had entered. Chen Nian walked over, placed the certificate on the table, and pushed it towards him: "Exchange for sequence seeds."

The logistics staff picked up the certificate, glanced at it, confirmed the seal and signature, and then placed it on the corner of the table.

Then, he took out a metal cabinet with a multi-layered combination lock from his own space.

The metal cabinet was divided into several layers, each containing boxes of different sizes, some of which were sealed metal boxes, and others were transparent containers with labels.

He took out a medium-sized metal box from the middle layer, placed it on the table, and opened it. Inside, three rows of neatly stacked storage containers were revealed. They were shaped like slender test tubes, each engraved with a serial number and name label, and gleamed faintly under the light.

"What type do you need?" the logistics staff asked.

"The prices are listed here. The Logistics Department accepts both Azure Crystals and Gray Coins as payment methods. If you have become a formal officer, you can also take out a loan, with the loan amount calculated based on your rank."

Listening to the logistics staff's words, Chen Nian turned to the three girls behind her and said, "You can come and see for yourselves, and choose the corresponding seed based on your sequence ability."

Su Wanqing was the first to step forward, followed by Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue. The three of them sat around the table, their eyes following the labels on the storage devices one by one. They occasionally exchanged a few words in hushed tones, each identifying the numbers and types on the labels under the light, and matching them to the directions they needed.

The three of them looked at the metal box for a while and then each identified their target.

However, I was still hesitant after seeing the price.

It's a bit expensive, and it doesn't seem like enough.

Chen Nian saw the three people gathered around the metal box, their eyes scanning back and forth over the labels on the storage devices, their fingers occasionally touching a particular one before withdrawing, hesitant and undecided.

She walked to the table, stood next to Su Wanqing, glanced down at the price tag of the storage device in front of her, and then scanned the models that Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue had chosen, getting a general idea of ​​the price range in her mind.

Su Wanqing looked up at her, her voice lower than before: "Niannian, the three of us combined... seems to be a little short."

As she spoke, she put the storage device back into the metal box, her movements gentler than when she had picked it up.

Hearing what they said, Chen Nian smiled and said, "Check if this is enough. If it's not enough, I'll make up the difference. If it's still not enough, I'll give you a loan."

Chen Nian spoke casually, her tone even carrying a hint of lighthearted banter, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

But the three people at the table fell silent for a moment, their gazes shifting from the storage device to her face.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Chen Nian waved her hand to interrupt her.

"Gather all your crystals and gray coins and see how much you're short," Chen Nian continued.

These words moved the three of them to tears.

Since Chen Nian has said so, it would be a bit unfair for them to keep hesitating.

The three exchanged glances, then without further hesitation, emptied all the crystals from their collection bags and placed them on the table along with the gray coins from their pockets.

The logistics staff watched them quietly as they organized the items, without urging them, and made room on the table for them to take inventory.

Su Wanqing finished counting first, then separated her share of crystals and gray coins by category, and helped Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue count their shares as well.

The three of them each reported their total, and then Su Wanqing took a pen and wrote it down on paper and added it up. It took a while, but she finally calculated the difference.
