Lin Chen did not answer immediately.

He gleaned a key piece of information from He Meijiao's words.

The crops that she treated with her supernatural abilities are now able to grow normally.

He Meijiao is currently conducting two sets of experiments—

In the first group, will her special ability have any effect on the native grass and trees in the space? These plants are the only native life in this new world.

And it has maintained its initial size without growing even a fraction of an inch!

In the second group, she was making a control: on one side, she was feeding animals with crops that she had processed with her superpowers, and on the other side, she was letting the animals eat the native plants that grew naturally in the space.

She wanted to see if there was any difference in how the two methods affected the animals' growth.

These all take time.

More samples are also needed.

Lin Chen remained silent, then he thought of He Meijiao's concept of growth factors.

The description of space from the Creation Pearl came to mind: space possesses complete basic rules.

Basic rules.

Just how basic is it?

Are there even higher and more complete rules above this?

What conditions are needed to activate those rules?

He recalled his past self, who, like countless other Chinese people, was a staunch atheist.

I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in destiny, I only believe in myself.

But now?

The apocalypse has arrived, zombies roam freely, supernatural abilities awaken, and the Creation Pearl recognizes its master...

Can all of this still be explained by "science"?

He couldn't help but wonder if there was some kind of divine intervention behind all of this.

However, that "god" is probably not the kind of high and mighty god in mythology who receives offerings.

It's something else.

Something even more complicated.

Lin Chen gazed at the river, at the newly reclaimed land in the distance, and at the calves grazing leisurely.

a long time.

He nodded.

"Sure," he said, "but we can only collect as much as we can. In the apocalypse, there are very, very few plants and animals that haven't been mutated."

He suddenly smiled.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Don't worry anymore.

These issues are far beyond his current understanding.

No matter how much you think about it, it's all just wishful thinking.

"Let's go out for a bit." Lin Chen turned to He Meijiao, "You haven't seen your girlfriends for many days, they all miss you."

He Meijiao's face flushed red.

When the two returned to the room, it was already filled with Jiang Yingxue, Jiang Yingyue, Liang Siqi, Shen Xiyuan, Bai Xin, Qi Wei and others.

As soon as Jiang Yingyue saw He Meijiao, her eyes lit up and she immediately pounced on her.

"Beautiful sister! You're finally out!"

He Meijiao smiled and hugged her: "Yes, Yingyue, it's been a long time."

Jiang Yingyue, with her arm around Lin Chen's waist, suddenly turned to look at him and asked innocently, "Honey, we lost last night. Did you ask Sister Meijiao to help us tonight?"

The words fell.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Liang Siqi and Shen Xiyuan rolled their eyes frantically.

Qi Wei and Bai Xin's expressions froze instantly, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Jiang Yingxue pinched her younger sister hard.

"Ouch!" Jiang Yingyue winced in pain, clutching her arm and looking at her sister with a pitiful expression. "Sis, why did you pinch me?"

Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything, but just glanced to the side.

Jiang Yingyue followed her gaze.

The four women—Liang Siqi, Shen Xiyuan, Qi Wei, and Bai Xin—were practically glaring at her, as if they wanted to strangle her on the spot.

Jiang Yingyue was stunned for a moment.

Then she suddenly realized what she had done and covered her mouth.

——It’s over.

Her words were tantamount to saying: all of you combined are no match for my husband, so we need Sister Meijiao's help.

Although it's the truth...

But this is extremely insulting!

However, this was a godsend for Lin Chen.

Jiang Yingyue shrank back and awkwardly took half a step back.

Liang Siqi, being older, was the first to regain her composure.

She coughed lightly, trying to keep her tone calm:

"Should we find two more helpers? Yun-jie is off today too, so wouldn't it be the same as last night?"

Since she needed help anyway, she didn't mind having a few more.

Lin Chen stroked his chin and began to think seriously.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Jiang Yingyue immediately stepped forward to offer a suggestion:

"Should we ask Sister Qingyu? She's also the most beautiful girl in our school's vocal music department!"

Liang Siqi then suggested, "Qin Yi and Li Shishi are also good. They are Xiaoya's right-hand women now, and their abilities are undeniable."

Shen Xiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Wu Jie and Yang Na from our hospital are also very good. Especially Sister Na... she has already moved on from what happened with Li Zhiyuan."

She paused, her tone slightly tentative: "I just don't know if you mind."

Yang Na.

Lin Chen recognized the name.

That female pharmacist was gentle and kind, and had a very high reputation among doctors.

At that time, he led so many survivors and was willing to give the hope of life to Xu Qian and Qian Muyao, and the others did not object fiercely.

Few people can match his personal charm alone.

Bai Xin made an even more surprising statement: "Those five models, Cheng Meier and the others, are quite good too!"

"Especially Cheng Meier herself, I heard she awakened a mental charm ability. And it's a naturally awakened S-level mental ability."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"A naturally awakened S-rank?" He was somewhat surprised. "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Bai Xin rolled her eyes.

"You talk as if you've ever been involved," she said with a hint of teasing. "Wasn't it Xiaoya and Sister Yun who took care of all this?"

Lin Chen awkwardly touched his nose.

There's really no way to refute that.

He really doesn't seem to be involved in the team's development much anymore.

Li Ya is a natural leader, while Su Yun is like an ancient female prime minister, managing domestic affairs in an orderly manner.

They managed a team of just over 8,000 people perfectly.

He felt he could finally lie down and enjoy himself.

Jiang Yingyue leaned closer again, took his arm, and shook it:

"Brother Lin, what are you thinking? Are you too shy to speak up? Who have you got your eye on? I'll go and put in a good word for you!"

Lin Chen lowered his head and looked at her expectant little face.

A slow smile crept onto his lips.

"No need for that."

He paused.

"Besides..."

His gaze swept over the group of women in the room, and he smiled meaningfully.

"Only children make choices."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the room in a flash.

One minute later, Ye Qingyu appeared.

Next up are Qin Yi and Li Shishi.

Finally, there were Wu Jie, Yang Na, Cheng Meier, and four other models.

In less than ten minutes, ten people were standing side by side in the room, all of them blushing.

The six people who had been inside were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Yingyue opened her mouth wide and gave Lin Chen a thumbs up: "Brother Lin, I'm impressed!"

Liang Siqi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Shen Xiyuan sighed and rubbed her forehead.

Bai Xin also secretly gave a thumbs up.

Everyone could understand why Jiang Yingyue was the person Lin Chen favored the most, besides Li Ya and Su Yun.

Is this girl truly naive or just pretending?
