Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

He added in his mind: Not quite suitable for the battlefield due to lack of ability, but research seems fitting.

Half an hour later.

Ms. He completed the inspection.

Yang Fan, however, frowned.

He had a feeling—the seedlings from Celestial Star Company didn't appear to impress Ms. He.

Yang Fan was a bit speechless: "These seedlings were carefully selected by our department and refined using a secret technique from the Star Mark, then stimulated with Life Elemental Power.

"These seedlings are most suited for the current climate, and this researcher, who seems quite experienced, couldn't even see this small mystery?"

Yang Fan found it hard to understand.

He glanced at Ms. He's serious face and suddenly realized the reason.

The new variety I painstakingly developed, is it perhaps too advanced for Ms. He?

Intuition told him—this was the answer!

At this moment.

Several officials from the Agriculture Department began to communicate with Ms. He.

Ms. He kept pointing at the seedlings while the officials jotted down notes.

This was clearly an assessment process.

Yang Fan found it difficult to stay seated.

He could wait for the assessment results to come out, then severely discredit Ms. He.

But the problem was, was there really a need to do that?

It wasn't that Ms. He was unprofessional, nor was there any underhanded practice.

It was merely a slight lack of ability; slapping her face this way didn't seem quite appropriate.

Just like a teacher seeing a student at the bottom of the class wouldn't just slap them for no reason, right?

He thought that a more gentle approach could resolve this minor issue.

Yang Fan nudged the female secretary's arm, and whispered: "Go find Ms. He…"

After hearing her superior's words, Ling Shuiling exclaimed: "Is it appropriate to do this?"

Yang Fan urged: "Of course it is, hurry up and go."

The female secretary hesitated for a moment and then quickly got up and walked towards Ms. He.

Ms. He noticed the female secretary and glanced over.

The officials, seeing such a beautiful lady, did not stop her from approaching.

Ling Shuiling walked straight to Ms. He, whispering something to her.

Ms. He immediately showed a look of surprise, but there was also obvious doubt.

Ling Shuiling added: "Ma'am, you can verify it, and if Celestial Star Agriculture is lying, we are willing to bear all responsibility."

Ms. He thought for a moment, nodded with her inherent rigor: "Alright!"

She turned and discussed briefly with a few officials.

An official announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the results of this assessment will be announced in two hours."

There was an immediate stir in the conference room.

Many representatives from the new agricultural companies kept glancing at Celestial Star Agriculture.

Yang Fan then relaxed.

The crisis was resolved!

All these alleged new varieties from those companies were just subpar in his eyes.

How could they compare to the new product he developed himself?

*

Two hours later.

In front of dozens of people.

Ms. He personally opened a freezer.

A seedling with an already frozen surface instantly came into view.

Ms. He took just one look and gasped: "Frozen for two hours at minus ten degrees, and the seedling is still alive!"

Representatives from other companies all wore expressions of astonishment.

Huo Xianglin's face was almost tearing from his smiling.

Even an idiot would know the significance.

Currently, the climate is abnormal, with huge temperature differences between day and night, daytime temperatures exceeding twenty degrees, and nighttime dropping to minus twenty degrees.

Normal rice planted outdoors would be frozen to death in one night.

Only indoor farming, consuming a massive amount of electrical energy for warmth, could help rice survive the long cold nights.

This new rice type is different.

It can withstand lower temperatures, meaning nighttime energy consumption could be reduced.

And less energy consumption means a greater area for rice planting, ultimately leading to higher grain yields.

In short.

The significance of this rice variety is very profound.

At this moment.

Yang Fan nodded at a researcher beside him: "Zhang Rui, go demonstrate."

Zhang Rui picked up a pot of hot water and poured it directly over the frozen plant.

"Whoosh～"

The ice melted rapidly.

Steam spread into the air.

Ms. He was taken aback as she watched.

This is ninety-degree hot water; ordinary plants would be scalded, causing the leaves to wither.

But Ms. He sensed very clearly that this seedling was unharmed, still vibrant.

She turned and asked the female secretary: "What is this new variety called?"

Ling Shuiling hesitated and said: "Our minister named it 'Stamina Strong One.'"

Ms. He's face twitched for a moment.

What a lousy name?

Others also wore constipated expressions.

Ms. He quickly returned to normal and proactively extended her right hand to Yang Fan: "Minister Yang, the new variety you cultivated is amazing!"

She paused and added: "Your company's results have surpassed the plant institute of the Superpower Research Institute."

Yang Fan smiled and said: "You flatter me!"

As the strongest on Canglan Star, if he couldn't even surpass these amateurs, it would truly be a disgrace to the title of Warrior.

Five minutes later.

The director of the Agriculture Department personally announced the assessment results: "The best variety of this assessment is Celestial Star Agriculture's Celestial Star One."

The so-called "Celestial Star One" was naturally "Stamina Strong One."

This was a name Ms. He helpfully corrected.

"Clap! Clap!"

Warm applause broke out.

Representatives from many companies had looks of admiration.

No one expected that Celestial Star Agriculture, just a seemingly insignificant small company, could cast such a large satellite.

Ms. He just said that this might be the most important achievement in Great Xia's agricultural field this year.

Celestial Star Agriculture made it big!

Chairman Huo Xianglin looked at Yang Fan as if he were a "grandson looking at an ancestor."

He initially thought he picked up talent at a recruitment fair; now it seems like he picked up a treasure!

The female secretary looked at her superior, her expression a little off.

She suddenly felt that maybe she acted a little too slow.

Ms. He walked to Yang Fan and earnestly extended an invitation: "Mr. Yang, are you interested in working at the Plant Research Institute?"

Huo Xianglin's face froze, holding an urge to fight.

Too outrageous?!

Ling Shuiling's pretty face froze, feeling like hitting someone.

Yang Fan thought for a moment and declined: "I think Celestial Star Agriculture suits me better."

He felt it was great to retire comfortably at Celestial Star Agriculture, where he was treated like a lord, everyone pandering to him.

Life here was quite enjoyable!

Ms. He regretfully sighed: "Alright!"

Huo Xianglin breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The chairman gave Ling Shuiling a light nod and gestured.

Huo Xianglin had noticed the increasingly covetous looks from other companies' people.

Obviously.

Minister Yang now became a coveted treasure.

This place was too dangerous; they couldn't stay any longer!

Ling Shuiling didn't hesitate to step up, tightly linking her arm with her superior's left arm: "Minister, the company has prepared a celebration banquet for you!"

Yang Fan felt his left arm seemingly brushing against some strange undulations.

Having been single for decades, he felt this for the first time.

Though he slaughtered mutated beings with ease, he still lacked experience in this aspect. After all, these were two entirely different fields.

Fortunately, Huo Xianglin helped to save the situation.

He patted Yang Fan's shoulder, his tone very warm and a bit flattering: "Great hero, let's head back quickly."

Yang Fan nodded: "That sounds good."

Several company employees followed behind, witnessing this scene, naturally knowing from now on, the company had a real "old master"!

The group just stepped out of the Agriculture Department.

"Whoo!"

A gust of cold wind blew by.

Though it was just five in the afternoon, the temperature had dropped to five degrees.

Compared to the last few days, it was visibly colder again, and judging by this trend, it would likely get even colder.

Ling Shuiling shivered unconsciously.

Huo Xianglin cared for his treasure like: "Minister Yang, are you cold? Be careful not to catch a cold!"

Yang Fan shook his head: "I'm fine."

But in his heart, he found it somewhat amusing.

With a beauty right next to you, instead of worrying about a lady, you chose to worry about me, an old man.
