240: New Member

Jiang Fei: "I still have 10 liters of special potion, which is enough for the Cultivation Park for a while."

"All I want are pairs of cattle and sheep."

She could earn gold, but cattle and sheep were hard to find.

After more than a year of natural disasters, some animals outside the base had been eaten by survivors, while others hid in the deep mountains and old forests, not coming out.

She hadn't encountered a single one in all her time outside.

Jiang Fei created a friend out of thin air: "The special potion was made by a friend of mine."

"After I use these up, I can go to her place to get more, but it takes a few days to travel back and forth."

The implication was that they could continue to cooperate.

Shao Ziyue was very tempted.

But four cattle and sheep were too many.

She started making excuses to bargain.

"Cattle and sheep have a huge appetite and eat a lot of fodder. The land is not good for planting now, so raising four would be a heavy burden for you. One sheep would be just right."

Jiang Fei: "I have a small Supermarket, I can feed them fresh fruits and vegetables."

Shao Ziyue choked, but didn't give up.

"They are prone to illness if not cared for properly."

"I've studied animal husbandry, including postpartum care. Ling Zhaorui is like my senior fellow apprentice."

No matter what questions Shao Ziyue raised, Jiang Fei could easily handle them.

After some bargaining.

They finally settled on one bull and one cow, both one-year-old calves.

Not getting a sheep, Jiang Fei wasn't anxious either.

She believed Shao Ziyue would come to her for trades again.

Shao Ziyue contacted the people at the Cultivation Park via walkie-talkie to deliver the calves, while Jiang Fei went upstairs to get the fountain water.

She found an empty 10L plastic mineral water bottle, filled it with fountain water, and carried it downstairs.

Looking at the transparent liquid in the plastic bottle, Shao Ziyue still thought it looked like plain water.

However, it was this plain water that could preserve the Cultivation Park's planting area and prevent a food crisis in the Kyoto Base.

Nearly two hours later, staff arrived with a trailer.

A sturdy large iron cage was placed in the back compartment.

Inside were two black and white calves, their eyes slightly red, violently ramming the iron cage, making banging sounds.

Jiang Fei opened the villa gate, allowing the trailer to enter the yard.

The staff collectively unloaded the iron cage from the truck.

The iron cage was heavy, and the few people couldn't hold it at the last moment, letting it drop heavily to the ground.

"Moo—" The calves in the cage roared angrily, seemingly very displeased with the humans' actions.

Jiang Fei's eyes flickered.

So human-like... Could they be mutated animals?

Shao Ziyue gave Jiang Fei the cage key and two tranquilizer guns, reminding her:

"The animals in the Cultivation Park are very agitated due to the gray fog's influence, so I suggest you don't open the cage door."

"When feeding them through the cage, also keep your distance."

"If the calves lose control and go mad, you can inject them with tranquilizers."

At this point, Shao Ziyue tentatively asked: "Miss Jiang, your friend can develop special potions, which proves she is very capable. Can you ask her if she would be willing to work at the Cultivation Park?"

"I will give your friend the best treatment."

Jiang Fei pretended to regret: "I asked her before at the Safety Shelter in Qingyang City, but she's not interested in outside matters; she just wants to stay in her own home."

"Alright then."

Shao Ziyue left with her people, disappointed.

After closing the gate, Jiang Fei put both the iron cage and its contents into the Supermarket.

Suddenly changing environments, the two calves became even more agitated, starting to bite the cage bars and constantly lowing.

With a click, Jiang Fei took out a flamethrower and turned it on.

Blazing flames instantly shot out.

The two calves instinctively sensed danger and fearfully moved away from the bars.

Jiang Fei deliberately scared the calves:

"I won't hurt you, but if you don't behave and keep crashing around, I'll turn you into roasted whole beef tonight."

As if understanding Jiang Fei's words, the two calves quieted down.

They really had mutated.

Mutated animals, like Big Yellow, could understand human language and were extremely intelligent.

Jiang Fei fetched a bowl of fountain water, opened the cage door, placed the water bowl on the ground, and experimented again.

"Drink the water, and I'll turn off the fire."

The two calves blinked, as if processing Jiang Fei's meaning.

It wasn't until Jiang Fei pointed to the water bowl on the ground and made a drinking motion that the two calves walked forward and drank the fountain water.

The bloodshot in their eyes gradually faded.

After drinking all the water, the calf approached Jiang Fei and rubbed its head against her arm.

The other calf, afraid of the flamethrower, just stood still.

The two calves visibly became docile.

She hadn't expected the fountain water could also treat animals affected by the gray fog.

Jiang Fei, surprised, turned off the flamethrower and led the two calves to the cowshed.

After filling the trough with fountain water, Jiang Fei went to the Supermarket warehouse to get a box of dried vegetables, fruits, and hay, pouring them into the feeding trough.

The bull had the most black markings, and the cow had more white markings.

Jiang Fei named the new members: "From now on, you'll be called Big Black."

"And you'll be called Big White."

"You two stay here nicely, and I'll feed you again next time I come in."

After settling the two calves, Jiang Fei exited the Supermarket and retrieved a commercial vehicle.

She called Jiang Zhengkang and the others on the walkie-talkie, learned they were currently on the busiest commercial street in the Kyoto Base, and drove there to meet up.

After parking the car, Jiang Fei went to a clothing store.

Everyone was standing outside, each carrying a bag.

Jiang Xiaoshi's clothes and shoes had all been replaced with new ones.

Lu Yu had taken some time to come over and was helping Su Liuyuan carry things.

Noticing You Yuxi was also there, Jiang Fei asked, puzzled: "Miss You, why are you here?"

"I met Su Liuyuan while shopping just now, so I joined them."

You Yuxi familiarly linked arms with Jiang Fei: "Miss Jiang, what do you want to buy? I'll take you."

"I'm paying for all your purchases today!"

"My parents transferred contribution points to me, and I've been spending them for a long time but can't finish them. You guys help me out."

With someone else paying, Jiang Fei began to browse along the street.

Ping An Small Mall had everything, so Jiang Zhengkang and the others only bought changes of clothes.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu didn't want anything, mainly focusing on keeping them company throughout.

After shopping for most of the day, it grew dark, and Jiang Fei invited everyone to a restaurant for dinner.

It was the same Chinese-Western fusion restaurant they had visited before.

The first floor couldn't seat everyone, so Jiang Fei requested a private room on the second floor.

You Yuxi ordered a bottle of red wine.

Perhaps because she never drank alcohol, You Yuxi's face turned red after just one glass.

Driven by the alcohol, the child once again thought of the person she shouldn't.

"What do you guys think... what should I do to make Mo Yanan like me?"

Jiang Fei had experience this time and kept her mouth shut.

Yao Jin: "Miss You, you are pretty, cute, and have a good personality; you don't necessarily have to have Mo Yanan."

Han Yang: "Young Master Mo is good, but he's not suitable for you."

Jiang Zhengkang: "Child, your future is still long; you can't hang yourself on one tree."

Cao Xiuhong covered Jiang Xiaoshi's ears: "As the old saying goes, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are plentiful."

Jiang Xiaoshi blinked, not understanding.

Why wouldn't Auntie let him listen?

Everyone took turns trying to counsel You Yuxi.

Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, and Niu Er ate quietly.

Seeing You Yuxi's eyes glaze over from drinking, Jiang Fei got up to go outside to find a waiter for a cup of warm water, when she suddenly met a pair of staring eyes.
