Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

In the Lingnan Province of Great Xia, an indoor farm once experienced a severe sabotage incident.

An HVAC engineer responsible for the air conditioning system was fired for assaulting a colleague.

Out of spite, this guy sabotaged the farm's central air conditioning unit at midnight, causing the entire farm to freeze.

This indoor farm happened to be a key breeding farm, with 500 acres of seedlings supplying farms throughout the city.

As a result of the incident, all the cultivated seedlings died.

Although the real culprit, the HVAC engineer, was executed three days later, the loss was irreversible.

All senior management at the farm was sentenced, and more than half of the executives of the farm's parent company were directly dismissed.

After the incident, every new agricultural company in Great Xia conducted a comprehensive inspection.

In an era where "grain is life," everyone is terrified of such accidents occurring.

Director Zhang's cheeks were flushed with excitement: "Personally, I believe Celestial Star Six is the perfect rice strain to combat cold wave disasters, and it can definitely help Great Xia overcome the cold wave disaster."

The female secretary nodded repeatedly, looking as if she wholeheartedly agreed.

Yang Fan merely responded with a "Hmm," his expression unchanged.

In Director Zhang and the female secretary's eyes, Celestial Star Six could indeed be deemed a revolutionary rice strain.

But in his view, this thing can only be regarded as mediocre.

The female secretary noticed her boss's expression, blinked her pretty eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think something's wrong?"

Yang Fan touched a nearby rice plant and replied, "Celestial Star Six is far from the perfect strain I envision."

Both Director Zhang and the female secretary were stunned.

With Celestial Star Six being so impressive, bringing it to the Great Xia Agricultural Bureau would surely earn commendations, yet you're still not satisfied.

Just how high are your standards?

Yang Fan sighed, "The Superpower Era has arrived, and a crop with only cold-resistant capabilities, without any superpower traits, is far from being a reliable dependency for the Great Xia People."

Director Zhang's expression was quite subtle.

But facing the company's star, he didn't dare utter a disagreeing word, just obediently responded, "You're right."

The female secretary, bolder, directly said, "Minister, your standards are too high."

Yang Fan chuckled, saying nothing more.

Ignorant woman!

Summer bugs can't discuss ice!

In the Dream Realm, he's witnessed many Civilization Worlds, and all the basic food crops within those worlds invariably possess extraordinary traits.

Most of these traits have a slight nurturing effect on physical value, and long-term consumption can enhance physical value.

For a Civilization World, this is the foundation of civilization.

How many more warriors can be cultivated with each individual consuming such food over many years?

Of course, these statements aren't convenient to disclose to ordinary people.

Yang Fan clasped his hands behind him and continued to walk forward.

This is one of his responsibilities.

Every indoor farm managed by Celestial Star Agriculture is subject to his regular inspection to ensure the crops being grown are free from problems.

Of course.

As the company's farms increased, he no longer visits most farms on-site, instead choosing to inspect remotely via the network.

He only personally inspects newly constructed farms or those earmarked for special observation.

Twenty minutes later.

Yang Fan took a cursory glance around the farm.

He turned to Director Zhang and smiled, "This batch of rice has been cultivated well, and the farm is well-managed. I think it deserves an excellent rating."

Director Zhang's face instantly broke into a smile.

Celestial Star Company has a complete performance evaluation system, but Minister Yang's evaluation outweighs everyone's scoring.

Everyone knows that when Minister Yang labels something as excellent, every employee from top to bottom at the farm can receive extra bonuses and corresponding material rewards that month.

At the year's end, they can receive an extra month's year-end bonus, along with an additional holiday gift package.

With resource scarcity prevailing, the latter is often more enticing than money.

It's not just a word he's saying, but money!

Director Zhang glanced at his watch and gestured, "Minister Yang, it's already eleven o'clock. Please have a rest in the lounge for a while, and then join us at our canteen for a meal, okay?"

In anticipation of Minister Yang's visit, the farm began preparations three days in advance.

Not only was the lounge meticulously arranged, but the canteen also managed to procure a batch of high-quality ingredients.

Even the chairman's visit doesn't receive such attention.

Yang Fan readily nodded, "Alright! Let's go then."

Currently, he's a bit tired from even playing games in the office, so he wants to spend more time at the farm.

A minute later.

With Director Zhang in tow, Yang Fan stepped into the lounge.

As he entered, his eyes lit up.

He saw a riot of color.

The female secretary couldn't help but exclaim "Ah," her face filled with delight.

The lounge wasn't large, just over thirty square meters, and was filled with numerous flowers.

The "numerous" here is not referring to a dozen or several dozen.

Rather, hundreds of flowers, spanning over ten different species.

In these times of worldwide cold wave impacts, with everything in an icy landscape, such a scene is rare.

The farm's display was evidently a well-thought-out effort.

Director Zhang picked up the remote and turned on the TV, smiling broadly, "Minister Yang, Secretary Ling, please have a good rest. I'll bring your meals over at mealtime."

After greeting them, he nodded and bowed out of the lounge, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

"Boom!"

With this sound.

The scenery outside was cut off.

Yang Fan glanced at the door, his lips twitching.

You're leaving, fine, what's with closing the door tightly?

Makes it seem like I'm about to do something with the secretary; inviting gossip?

The female secretary moved to a cluster of flowers, bent down, and sniffed deeply, smiling radiantly, "Such fragrance!"

Her pose bent over smelling the flowers happened to accentuate certain parts, making it quite alluring.

Yang Fan instinctively gave it a few glances, then consciously shifted his gaze to the TV screen.

The TV was broadcasting the Primordial Channel of the national TV station, the channel currently boasting the highest ratings globally.

The footage of elephants strolling on lush grassland immediately entered his view.

"Mammoth Resurrection" is a program broadcasted live worldwide.

Starting from the successful pregnancy of the mother elephant to the birth of the first mammoth cub, the broadcast will continue for over a dozen days.

The purpose of the broadcast is naturally for external propaganda, instilling the notion that "Great Xia is the civilization highland of the Supernatural Era" to people worldwide.

In any case, doing this doesn't leak secrets.

Techniques with real substance, involving secretive processes, are all completed off-camera.

"Minister!"

Ling Shuiling's pleasant voice drifted over.

Yang Fan's eyes remained fixed on the mother elephant on the screen, asking, "What's up?"

The female secretary picked up a bright red flower with her pale, slender hand and laughed charmingly, "Do you know what species this flower is? It looks so beautiful!"

Yang Fan, a few meters away, lightly sniffed the fragrance of the flower through his nose and replied, "This is a mildly mutated variety of orchid that emerged after the Superpower Era, called 'Supernatural Milan.'

"The main feature of this flower is that the fragrance perceived by each person is different, but it's sure to be their favorite scent."

The female secretary exclaimed in wonder, "Wow, I see, no wonder I find this floral scent somewhat reminiscent of you, Minister."

This was clearly a way of expressing affection.

It could also be seen as a deliberate tease.

After saying this, she smiled at him.

Yang Fan was about to say something, but his nose twitched again, detecting a very unusual scent.

At that moment.

He just felt a "buzz" in his head, with a strange resonance among the dozens of superpowers in his soul.

Yang Fan naturally understood one thing: "I've been unexpectedly stimulated by the floral scent, and it seems I'm about to advance."
