Chapter 253: Chapter 252: How could I let it go?

Qu Tong didn’t go directly to the Star Beast Zone with Xu An.

Instead, she returned to Luyi Star first to take care of some matters.

Elder Yuan has been especially enthusiastic lately.

Thanks to Qu Tong’s frequent help over this period, Elder Yuan’s Spirit Sea had recovered nearly one-third of its capacity.

Additionally, after spending four Void Crystal Stones, Elder Yuan had finally made some progress in his research.

Although it was just a tiny breakthrough, at least it proved that the improvement in Xu An’s physique level was no accident and that their speculations were meaningful.

But it’s unknown how far this small achievement is from ultimate success.

This is a costly and lengthy process.

During this time, Qu Tong stayed on Luyi Star and incidentally prepared the potions for the next month.

Her special ability had returned to its peak state, and it seemed even stronger than in her previous life, which was no wonder since the recovery of the last layer took such a long time.

Now, she could prepare 200 doses of the potion per day without any issues.

In her free time, Qu Tong also learned about managing planets, almost completely replenishing what the planet lacked.

She still liked this kind of extravagant lifestyle.

No woman likes to repeatedly compare prices when shopping; it was all out of necessity before.

When buying a pressure cooker, one would look through dozens of stores, add twenty different models to the cart, carefully compare the comments on the detail pages, hesitate for a long time, and finally choose a counterfeit product with a high cost-performance ratio...

It still annoys her to think about it now.

Without realizing it, she clicked into her previous orders.

Qu Tong’s eyes lit up as she sat up straight on the sofa.

Wow!

The store had actually reopened with a new link, still selling the same pressure cooker.

Could I let this go?

How could I possibly!

Qu Tong immediately contacted the Crown Princess Consort, reporting the shop directly to the highest authority—his wife.

Bai Shuixin, after hearing about Qu Tong’s previous experience, couldn’t help laughing uproariously, making Qu Tong feel a bit embarrassed.

Although Bai Shuixin didn’t handle official matters, she could still help with this small thing.

"I’ll talk to the Crown Prince in a bit," Bai Shuixin assured Qu Tong.

"The results will be out in at most three days. The Crown Prince just needs to give a word, and after verification, their business license will be revoked, all illicit profits will be recovered, and if the amount is large, they might even end up with a criminal record."

Qu Tong felt satisfied now.

She thanked the Crown Princess Consort and sent some gifts to the Crown Prince as a token of gratitude.

A big bunch of twin roses and a box of lychees (about five kilograms).

The Crown Princess Consort was delighted upon receiving them, carefully placing the roses in an exquisite vase in the most prominent spot in the bedroom.

After tasting a lychee, she was immediately captivated by the sweet flavor.

Niannian liked them a lot too but obediently didn’t overindulge.

The Crown Princess Consort also sent some to the Empress.

The Empress was pleased to see the fresh lychees and had them taken to the council hall to eat with Si Chen later.

Just then, a trusted aide rushed in to find her, so she went off to handle the matter.

The maid placed the lychees next to Si Chen’s desk, specifically mentioning that the Empress had been called away but would be back soon.

Si Chen responded coldly, not even lifting his head.

Having finished a batch of tasks, he noticed the lychees next to him, large and plump, looking very appetizing.

Si Chen tried one.

It tasted even better than he had imagined, and almost instantly, he thought of Qu Tong, that young girl.

Such a large agricultural enterprise as the Academy of Agricultural Sciences could not produce fruits of this quality, yet they still had the ambition to apply for a Level Three star?

It might as well be granted to the little girl; perhaps it could even improve the dietary standards of the Empire.

Si Chen approved a document and then grabbed two lychees to eat.

When he reached for another lychee after finishing the last document, he suddenly felt a chilly sensation at the back of his head.

Turning around, he encountered Gong Lingyu’s angry eyes and brows.

Looking at the plate, there was only one lychee left.

Si Chen felt somewhat guilty and, with trembling hands, picked up the last lychee, trying to please her, "Ling’er, you eat!"

"Eat what? I’m full of anger!"

Gong Lingyu walked up to Si Yuting’s desk, slammed a document down on it.

She gave Si Chen a cold look and left, disappointed.

Si Chen looked at the list about reinforcing defenses on the desk and felt a deep sense of self-reproach.

"Ling’er..." Si Chen stood up to follow her.

However, the Empress had left the conference hall and drove away in her hover car.

She went to have a meal at her daughter-in-law’s, making him feel terribly guilty.

Qu Tong’s farm celebrated another bumper harvest. As the farm’s scale expanded, she had Xiang Bin use some Growth Liquid and micronutrient supplements; after all, as long as she had her Special Ability, there would be no problem.

Currently, the only ones in need of cooperation were the Mi Family, Drunken Star River, Imperial Palace, and the First Army Corps.

Qu Tong directly doubled this month’s supply of Energy Fruits and Vegetables to the Imperial Palace and the First Army Corps without increasing the price.

She also sent two vials of Energy Liquid to Sai Pu, and of course, Si Yuting was not forgotten.

It had been quite a long time since she provided the potions, so Qu Tong sent five vials each of Energy Liquid and Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion.

She quite liked the soldiers from the First Army Corps and didn’t mind giving to them, but she couldn’t give too much at once; it had to be gradual.

She also sent a separate batch of lychees.

Si Yuting could not be left out.

After arranging almost everything, Qu Tong called Ke Jun to her villa, ready to delegate some matters to him.

Ke Jun knew that being allowed into the villa meant Qu Tong trusted him, so he didn’t dare to make the decision to bring Xiaoguang in on his own and told him to wait outside the isolation area.

Qu Tong, who was picking grapes in the yard, saw him and directly called him in.

Xiaoguang, seeing the variety of Energy Fruits and Vegetables in Qu Tong’s yard which was even more abundant than outside, was filled with surprise and curiosity.

Qu Tong eyed Xiaoguang and allowed him to pick whatever he wanted to eat.

Xiaoguang joyfully thanked her, then ran off to play on his own.

"Xiaoguang looks healthy and more lively than before," Qu Tong remarked casually.

"Thanks to the good food on Miss Qu’s planet," Ke Jun said with a smile, but his eyes betrayed a hint of sadness.

After explaining the matters, Qu Tong left Luyi Star.

Qu Tong met up with Xu An and the others under the identity of Jun Li. Except for He Zhou, no one in the team recognized Qu Tong, so there were no surprises.

Including Qu Tong, Xu An’s team consisted of only seven people.

The other four were all older than Xu An but were willing to follow his commands.

In the world of adventure teams and Mercenary Corps, it wasn’t age or experience that counted, but strength.

Moreover, the four were not regular mercenaries; they were recruited by Xu An online from different planets, and Xu An had promised to cover their lodging and food.

In other words, Xu An was their boss.

Currently, they only took simple tasks online and occasionally killed Star Beasts to earn material costs.

Qu Tong also truly saw for herself just how tenacious Xu An was, as He Zhou had said.

Xu An always charged to the forefront in every task, playing the most significant role.

He dared to confront a level six Star Beast on his own and relied on Energy Liquid to outlast it when he couldn’t win; he kept pushing his limits, enduring just a little longer each time than before.
