The changes behind Chu Jiangyue’s residence were soon discovered by passing guests.
Because of the fertilization, the soybean seeds had already sprouted and grown to half the height of normal soybean plants.
"Boss Chu, these..."
Lu Zhengyao originally wanted to go for a walk, but unexpectedly ca across the newly cultivated farm at Chu Jiangyue’s residence.
He could hardly believe it; apart from mutant plants, there were still normal plants visible now.
Moreover, he wasn’t oblivious to crops; he imdiately recognized them as soybean plants.
"Just planted not long ago, they seem to be growing quite well already."
Chu Jiangyue was reluctant to admit they were freshly planted and had grown so high just with fertilization.
"It’s quite impressive; I didn’t expect there would still be normal plants appearing now."
As a leader, Lu Zhengyao’s first thought was to find soone to study the successful growth of soybean plants.
But he quickly rembered that he was just an ordinary guest residing at soone else’s hotel, without trustworthy botanists around, so the idea had to be temporarily shelved.
"I only made so casual attempts, didn’t expect them to succeed."
After tomorrow, the restaurant should have plenty more dishes.
After all, soybeans can make many things, like soy milk, tofu, etc.
Thinking about it, Chu Jiangyue felt as though gleaming Gold Coins were beckoning.
"Host, Ban Huafang is coming."
Little Fox stood on Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder, whispering to remind her.
Chu Jiangyue looked up and saw Ban Huafang walking towards her.
"Base Commander Ban."
Ban Huafang originally wanted to discuss the safety passage again with Chu Jiangyue. Being inford at the front door, she was directed to the rear of the residence.
Unknowingly, she ca upon a patch of land planted with soybeans.
Ban Huafang’s eyes fixated on the soybean plants, completely oblivious to Chu Jiangyue’s greeting.
"Boss Chu, are these soybeans real?"
Ban Huafang reacted even more strongly than Lu Zhengyao; being new to Jianglin Hotel, she was understandably excited upon seeing food-like soybeans.
"Of course they are real; I wouldn’t deceive people with fake plants."
Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t lie to make people believe in her capabilities.
"Boss Chu, do you know what this ans?"
Ban Huafang suddenly looked up, excitedly gazing at Chu Jiangyue.
Chu Jiangyue took a step back: "What could it an? Anyway, if I can grow one batch, a second shouldn’t be any trouble."
Chu Jiangyue spoke truthfully; now owning a farm, she could plant whatever was lacking in terms of food.
"Boss Chu, your aning is..."
Lu Zhengyao was more rational than Ban Huafang, quickly connecting the dots with Jianglin Hotel’s peculiarity after hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words.
"It’s as stated; these soybeans will mature the day after tomorrow. The next crop, I plan on planting peanuts."
Peanuts aren’t staples, but they can be turned into oil. Shen Zhigui
Chu Jiangyue planned ahead; if Jianglin Hotel or the System Mall were ever gone, preparations had to be made.
"Day after tomorrow! Boss Chu, are you joking?"
Though the soybean plants were quite tall, they knew the growth cycle of soybeans couldn’t mature so quickly within days.
"Do you two find Jianglin Hotel’s existence scientific?"
One question from Chu Jiangyue stumped them.
The existence of Jianglin Hotel is indeed sothing unexplained scientifically.
"If Boss Chu’s words are true, then... we won’t have to worry about insufficient food in the future."
Although the restaurant at Jianglin Hotel offered unlimited food, the worry remained about sustaining such conditions.
It’s essential to stay vigilant even in comfort.
"If you two base commanders know any botanists, please involve them in researching cultivation; we can’t pin all our hopes on ."
Chu Jiangyue wasn’t willing to shoulder this solitary responsibility; she wasn’t one to sacrifice herself for humanity’s cause.
She was just an ordinary person striving to survive peacefully in this cannibalistic apocalypse.
Even encountering the peculiarities of Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue never altered her mindset.
Lu Zhengyao and Ban Huafang both regarded Chu Jiangyue deeply, nodding: "Don’t worry, Boss Chu, we’ll keep an eye out."
They understood Chu Jiangyue’s concerns and didn’t pressure her into the responsibility.
Until finding suitable individuals, they hoped Chu Jiangyue would provide support.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t wish to dwell on the matter, rely said a few words before ushering Ban Huafang and Lu Zhengyao away.
The farm, now within her residence’s boundaries, was her private domain.
As the land’s sovereign, Chu Jiangyue preferred no lingering presence on her territory.
"Wait, I ca to discuss sothing."
Just as Ban Huafang was about to leave, she rembered having a topic for discussion with Chu Jiangyue.
Montarily forgetting the matter amidst excitent, she refocused.
"You two talk, I’ll be heading off."
Understandingly, Lu Zhengyao left first, granting them private space to converse.
"Let’s talk inside."
Conversing outdoors seed odd; Chu Jiangyue invited Ban Huafang inside.
Unperturbed, Ban Huafang entered alongside Chu Jiangyue into the residence.
Chu Jiangyue led her in, guiding her to the living room sofa, purchasing a cooling beverage from the System Mall.
"The contents in my place aren’t consumable, only this ready-made drink is available at the hotel."
Previously unnoticed, Chu Jiangyue pondered creating winter hot drinks alongside the cooling beverage.
"No worries, it’s not cold here, drinking anything is fine."
Ban Huafang hadn’t intended on borrowing water.
"You ca to see , did you raise money for the safety passage?"
Not implying anything, the sum was indeed substantial.
"Yes, I sought out survivors from T City who joined our visit to Jianglin Hotel.
However, the funds rely count as their investnt; T City survivors or those using T City’s safety passage to Jianglin Hotel must pay a toll fee.
This toll fee’s distribution must follow each individual’s contribution of gold coins proportionately for monthly dividends."
Chu Jiangyue slightly raised an eyebrow at Ban Huafang’s words; prioritizing self-interest indeed offered solutions.
