Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Great Xia.

Linjiang City, Celestial Star Agricultural Company.

Yang Fan sat in a comfortable luxury office chair, his mind swirling with thoughts.

"The energy concentration inside the Spirit Tree Space is about 20% higher than the outside world, indicating that the space has a remarkable ability to gather energy.

"Taking advantage of this characteristic, perhaps I could open up a Spirit Field within the Spirit Tree Space to cultivate mutant plants.

"I work at the new agriculture company; if I cultivate mutant rice with special effects, it can perfectly be planted in the Spirit Field."

He picked up a thermos cup, opened the lid, and took a sip of tea.

Yang Fan put down the teacup and opened a website to read the news.

This appearance already suggested an early transition to retirement life.

Even though he is a core senior member of the company, Yang Fan's work is leisurely to an outrageous degree.

Every day, he strolls through the breeding lab in the morning and evening and checks in on the indoor farm once every few days.

That's his entire job.

As for trivial tasks like writing reports, they are all handled by his female secretary.

"Whump!"

The door suddenly made a gentle sound and then swung open.

A shapely figure, tray in hand, swiftly entered.

It was the female secretary—Ling Shuiling.

True to her name.

This girl indeed resembled a tender little cabbage.

Not only was she well-proportioned, but she also had a typical snake-like face, and in that secretary uniform, she looked truly alluring.

According to Yang Fan, not only was this girl beautiful, but her family background seemed to be quite good as well.

From her performance during this period, her work ability was strong, efficiently handling all kinds of affairs.

In summary.

Very capable!

"Minister, these are snacks the kitchen prepared for you."

Ling Shuiling elegantly walked over and placed the snacks on the table.

As a new agriculture company, the supply of materials was relatively more abundant.

Celestial Star Agriculture hired several skilled chefs who made a batch of pastries every day as afternoon tea.

Yang Fan, being a core senior member of the company, naturally enjoyed better perks.

Ling Shuiling casually mentioned something: "Minister, you went to the third indoor farm in the North Suburb the day before yesterday.

"You walked around the farm and said you sensed a stagnation in the rice's life force, suspecting that it might be infected with mildew or other diseases.

"Today, the technical department inspected and confirmed that there was indeed a small amount of mildew in the third farm. They said it was fortunate to discover it early, otherwise, it would have surely affected the yield."

Ling Shuiling gave her minister a thumbs-up: "Your perception is exceptional."

Yang Fan smiled and nonchalantly said: "Just a simple skill."

Nowadays, the Life Elemental Power had risen to an astounding 1185 points.

The more abundant the Life Elemental Power, the stronger the sensing ability.

Although the avatar's strength was weak, the avatar and the main body shared the same soul, retaining a super sensitivity, hence easily spotting issues.

Yang Fan glanced at his female secretary, hesitated, and said: "If you feel unwell tomorrow, you can take a day off."

Ling Shuiling was bewildered: "Tomorrow?!"

An employer preemptively telling you that you might feel unwell tomorrow and you can take leave was the strangest thing she'd ever encountered.

Yang Fan nodded: "Yes, tomorrow."

He timely ended the chat: "Alright, I need to work now."

Ling Shuiling sensibly said: "Minister, I'll step out now."

Of course, she knew that what her boss referred to as "work" was either browsing the internet or playing games.

But even the chairman wouldn't say anything.

Because the value the boss created in the "very limited" work time far exceeded that of other employees.

*

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

It was time to leave work.

Ling Shuiling didn't leave immediately but carefully organized a document.

No choice.

With a deity-like boss, all kinds of chores within the department were almost single-handedly managed by her.

A few seconds passed.

"Bang!"

The sound of a door closing came from next door.

Then footsteps sounded.

Ling Shuiling instantly knew it was the boss leaving work.

She glanced at the lower right corner of the computer screen and murmured: "It's rare that he didn't leave early today."

The boss usually left a few minutes or even a dozen minutes early.

"Xiaoling, I'm leaving first, you should clock out early, too."

The boss's voice drifted over.

Ling Shuiling hurriedly responded: "Okay."

The footsteps faded away.

Ling Shuiling let out a soft sigh: "I wish I could leave early too."

She showed a look of envy: "I wish I had the skills of Minister."

The deputy general manager saw Minister Yang was not fond of managing affairs, so he asked her to pay more attention and raised her salary. She could only do a bit more work.

A half-hour passed quickly.

The document was finally organized.

Ling Shuiling closed the laptop and rubbed her slightly sore eyes.

She stretched lazily and stood up from the chair.

At that moment.

Ling Shuiling felt a discomfort in her lower abdomen.

Her pretty face changed: "Could it be my 'relatives' are coming?"

Ling Shuiling hurriedly went to the bathroom and then swiftly packed things to go home.

Having just exited the office building.

"Woo—"

A gust of cold wind blew by.

Ling Shuiling couldn't help but shiver.

Due to the weather anomalies, the temperature difference between morning and evening had been astonishingly large recently.

The daytime high was near thirty degrees, but at night it plummeted to minus twenty.

It's not even seven o'clock yet, but the temperature has already dropped below ten degrees.

As Ling Shuiling walked a few steps, she suddenly felt increasing pain in her lower abdomen and couldn't help but squat down.

Just then, a female voice came over, "Secretary Ling, what's wrong?"

Ling Shuiling turned her head to see a female researcher from the Special Development Department.

Although Minister Yang had loads of free time every day, the department was anything but idle.

On the contrary, because Minister Yang initiated many cultivation projects, the whole department was extremely busy, and researchers had to work overtime every day.

Of course.

Minister Yang secured a lot of benefits for his subordinates, so the researchers were very motivated.

At this moment.

The female researcher jogged over, "Secretary Ling, are you not feeling well?"

Ling Shuiling forced herself to stand up, her pretty face going pale, "It's that time."

The female researcher supported her, "Let me take you back."

Ling Shuiling whispered, "Thank you."

The female researcher said, "No need to thank me, just before we got off work, the Minister messaged me saying you might not feel well, and asked me to check on you later."

Ling Shuiling suddenly realized.

She remembered the boss saying earlier that "if you don't feel well tomorrow, you can take a day off," with a subtle expression.

The female secretary couldn't help but understand; her boss had already noticed it, but since it was a private matter, he didn't say it openly.

*

The next day.

Ling Shuiling didn't take leave.

She came to the company, clutching a warm water bag against her abdomen.

As expected.

When she stepped into the office and saw her boss.

Her boss was visibly surprised, "Why are you here today?"

At that moment.

Ling Shuiling, for some reason, felt very happy.

With her carefully adorned face, she flashed a charming smile, "I rested all night and took medicine in the morning; I don't feel much of a problem."

Yang Fan glanced at the female secretary and shook his head, "You should take it easy today."

With his keen observation, he could tell she still wasn't feeling well and was just putting on a brave face.

Ling Shuiling acknowledged with a "okay" and went to the secretary's office next door.

Yang Fan looked at the secretary's attractive back and shook his head silently.

You were told to take a leave and rest, so why come here to suffer?

Fool, right?!

Yang Fan stroked his chin and murmured, "Since we have a ready-made test subject, let's use Secretary Ling for a small experiment."

He sat at his desk, opened the internal communication software, and sent a message to a subordinate.

The reply came instantly, "Okay, Minister."

*

At nine in the morning.

Ling Shuiling was diligently working when her abdominal pain resurfaced.

She pressed the hot water bag tightly against her abdomen.

The heat seeped in, seeming to alleviate the pain a little, but it was still quite uncomfortable.

Ling Shuiling exhaled a sigh, regretting not heeding her boss's advice.

After a minute.

A familiar face appeared outside her office.

It was the female researcher who sent her home yesterday.

Ling Shuiling greeted warmly, "Zhang Li, is there something you need?"

Zhang Li handed over a lunch box, smiling, "Secretary Ling, I have something for you to try."

Ling Shuiling was puzzled.

Why ask me to try something, what does that mean?

Zhang Li opened the lunch box, and a fragrant smell immediately wafted out.

What she saw.

The lunch box contained a porridge-like substance that, from its color, looked a bit like millet porridge.

Ling Shuiling blurted out, "Millet porridge?"

Zhang Li shook her head, "This is a new variety of rice cultivated in the laboratory."

She paused and lowered her voice, "The Minister calls it Yellow Rice, but internally we prefer to call it Golden Rice."

Ling Shuiling covered her mouth and giggled.

She had long heard about her boss's naming abilities.

Zhang Li continued, "The Minister says Golden Rice can slightly enhance Qi and Blood, having a body-regulating effect.

"So the lab made a bowl of Golden Rice porridge with a blending machine, specially bringing it over for Secretary Ling to taste."

Ling Shuiling was very puzzled.

Why let me taste it?

She immediately saw Zhang Li turn her head towards next door and mouthed a word.

Ling Shuiling instantly understood.

This was the boss's instruction.

Zhang Li pushed the box forward, "Secretary Ling, it also contains peanuts, yams, and more, give it a try."

She didn't linger, waving her hand at the female secretary, "I'll head back to work."

Ling Shuiling, with a mysterious feeling, picked up a spoon and started eating in small bites.

Before long.

A bowl of Golden Rice porridge consumed.

Ling Shuiling felt a wave of warmth throughout her body, and her abdominal pain significantly eased.

She went to the tea room and cleaned the lunch box.

When she returned to her desk, she realized her abdomen didn't hurt at all.

With a surprised "hmm," the female secretary remarked, "Is the body-regulating effect really this impressive?"

Seeing results within minutes, this speed seemed to defy her understanding.

The so-called miracle elixir might just be like this?!

Her boss had only been with the company for such a short time, yet managed to develop such powerful Golden Rice. She suddenly realized that her boss seemed more formidable than she had anticipated.
