After seeing off Dr. Frina, Po Li, with Po Qing’s help, went to Gan Lin’s house next door.
Po Li was always an upright person. Knowing how much help he had received, he couldn’t just sit idly by.
He went specifically to thank Gan Lin, expressing his gratitude for both informing Po Qing about the medicine and lending money to buy it, thus saving his life.
Gan Lin’s parents had not known about their son’s actions until Po Li and Po Qing came to thank them. They were overjoyed to see their old neighbor recovering and gaining a new life. They readily agreed to let Po Qing leave a good review for Gan Lin’s shop and generously stated that the money didn’t need to be repaid immediately, that it could wait until Po Li had fully recovered.
Po Qing was very happy as well. He no longer had to worry about his father, and their family wouldn’t fall apart.
These details were unknown to Lin Huanyan, who was in the Black Hole Laboratory.
She only knew that customers were very satisfied with the three products in the store. So far, all the feedback had been overwhelmingly positive.
There were normal reviews, some excessively flattering reviews, and even some begging for watermelon adoption.
A simple good review had people praising the products to the sky, which made Lin Huanyan very happy.
In addition, discussions about “zero pollution organisms” and “Lin’s Shop” on major star network forums had heated up again, with many expressing their opinions, both positive and negative. However, Lin Huanyan didn’t mind. She was more focused on customer feedback about the products.
Moreover, she didn’t have much free time to focus on these matters.
The next step in the biological cultivation base required her attention, and the laboratory research also needed her involvement.
Previously, the planting and cultivation at the biological cultivation base were handled by interns from the research institute, but this couldn’t go on forever, as their main task was biological research. Therefore, Lin Huanyan negotiated with the Imperial government to recruit a new batch of personnel.
Influenced by her experience in the country Huaguo before her time travel, Lin Huanyan had her own perspective on recruitment.
She had previously researched the empire and discovered that in the interstellar age, there was a significant wealth gap, especially between different planets.
Some planets might be at the average level of the interstellar community, while others might be worse off than even Huaguo. After all, Huaguo had already eliminated hunger, ensuring no one went hungry, but this was not the case in the star systems. Take Garbage Star, for example, where the people survived by scavenging trash.
Her collaboration with the government was aimed at recruiting a group of quick, honest, and hardworking people from financially struggling families.
While she aimed to help people with difficult living conditions, Lin Huanyan also had high standards for the workers at the biological cultivation base. She wouldn’t just hire anyone.
She would personally participate in the interviews to select a group of loyal and reliable workers.
The basic recruitment plan had already been discussed with the Imperial government. The government would first screen a batch of candidates, and Lin Huanyan only needed to wait.
Her original plan was to develop a new variety of watermelon, but after some thought, she decided to postpone it.
Once the new workers were in place, the interns would be freed up, and she could work with them, saving herself the effort of training them individually.
Thus, Lin Huanyan took another tour of the base.
In the watermelon cultivation room, she harvested a batch of ripe watermelons and checked the newly planted watermelon seedlings, which were growing vigorously. In the lotus cultivation room, the lotus flowers were swaying beautifully, and they were about to bear seeds. Her favorite potato cultivation room was also thriving; the batch of potatoes she had planted earlier had successfully sprouted.
Lin Huanyan could already imagine fries, chips, potato chunks, potato strips, and potato cakes waving at her.
The magic fish and the brine shrimp were also doing well. The former had grown considerably, and the latter, thanks to Lin Huanyan’s special abilities, had reproduced significantly.
After the tour, Lin Huanyan began her next task.
With so much to handle recently, she no longer unpacked her deliveries daily as she used to. Instead, she would accumulate them for a few days and then open them all at once.
As expected, there were over a dozen packages piled on the floor of the main laboratory, moved there by robots, since the shelves for deliveries were full.
Lin Huanyan comfortably leaned back in her ergonomic chair and began unpacking.
The first package contained a spherical moonlight nightlight. She remembered it had been quite popular when she was in college. People often gave it as a gift to friends, classmates, or boyfriends.
Lin Huanyan pressed a few buttons, and the moonlight lamp was adjusted to the brightest setting, casting a warm yellow glow that added a cozy touch to the cold, white light of the laboratory.
Next, she opened the second package, which was small. Inside, there were several plastic bags containing unknown items.
Lin Huanyan found a single piece of paper, which brought her great joy—this was a packet of tomato seeds.
The paper showed a picture of a green potted plant with many small red fruits hanging from the branches, looking quite beautiful. The text explained that it was a dwarf tomato plant, suitable for both ornamental and edible purposes.
Inside the plastic bags were two packets of tomato seeds—one for red tomatoes and one for yellow tomatoes—along with regular fertilizer and germination fertilizer.
Lin Huanyan placed them on the table and continued to unpack the next package.
This one contained a vacuum-sealed large bone stick, which was described as a cow bone marrow stick for dogs to chew on.
This was of no use to Lin Huanyan, as her pets, Dabao and Xiaobao, had their own snacks.
She put the bone stick aside and opened the next package.
“Wow!”
This package truly shocked Lin Huanyan—it was something she had known about but had never received before.
A succulent plant set, which contained eight different succulents: Peach Egg, Blue Bird, Bear Paw, Jade Dew, Twilight Dance, Money Tree, Green Peach, and Ruby.
This instantly enriched her succulent plant shelf.
Moreover, the succulents in this set were all very beautiful. Peach Egg had pink, round, egg-shaped leaves, which likely explained its name. Blue Bird had lotus-shaped leaves, but they were blue. Ruby had similar lotus-shaped leaves, but they were thicker and red with a slightly transparent look.
Bear Paw was a well-known succulent, especially in animated, anthropomorphic forms. Its real shape had thick, light green leaves, unlike other succulents, with tiny white hairs on the leaves and a line of red triangular tips at the top, giving it a claw-like appearance when grouped together.
Jade Dew, with its bright, translucent, and pointed green leaves, tightly clustered together, forms the beautiful appearance of Jade Dew.
Twilight Dance, a beautiful name—could it be the evening glow is dancing? In fact, this is a succulent with purple hues tinged with red. The leaves are relatively thin, with small pleats at the top, which makes it particularly beautiful.
Money Tree, not only is the name special, but the shape is also unique. It resembles a miniature bamboo, with one side slanted and cut, the cut edge painted with a red circle, making it look quite lovely.
Finally, there is Green Peach, a true color master of nature. Its large expanse of pale green, combined with pinkish edges, creates a perfect blend of green and pink, harmonious and natural.
Lin Huanyan naturally adored them.
These succulents were all planted in small, poor-quality black plastic pots. Lin Huanyan first used her powers to channel the green vitality energy to them, dissipating the radiation contamination they had received in the interstellar space.
She then found some appropriately-sized flower pots, added some soil, and transplanted the succulents into them. After that, she placed them on the plant rack and turned on the succulent light she had set up to ensure they received enough light to grow well.
These two parcels lifted Lin Huanyan’s spirits to the highest point. Even though the other packages she opened were filled with useless items like toilet paper, cheap towels, ugly bags, and expired snack gifts, it didn’t affect her good mood.
There were still three parcels left.
Lin Huanyan opened a smaller one, and inside was a cylindrical transparent glass jar with a red rose preserved as a plant specimen.
The red rose, a plant with special significance, immediately made Lin Huanyan think of her boyfriend, Gu Yinchen.
She wondered what he was doing now. She had been busy with store affairs these past few days and had neglected him.
In the evening, she planned to give him the red rose as a small gift to make it up to him.
Lin Huanyan’s thoughts drifted as she placed the beautiful red rose on the table.
She quickly opened the remaining two parcels.
The first was quite ordinary—a box of regular face masks.
But the second parcel… this couldn’t just be a coincidence, could it?
Lin Huanyan held up the silver item with a few thin pieces of fabric inside. It was a set of cyberpunk-style female mech armor. That wasn’t the point; the real focus was how incredibly sexy it was.
The silver wrapped around the arms, from the ankle to the thighs, and the neck. The chest had large, delicate butterfly wings, looking as if they were about to take flight. From the waist down, there were only a few narrow straps and thin fabric pieces.
It was aesthetically pleasing, but the coverage was debatable.
There was also a card with a shy little expression, labeled as a gift for her boyfriend.
Was this really not a hint at something?
In fact, during her time with Gu Yinchen, their relationship had been quite passionate. They had done almost everything except for the final step, and the things that were not allowed on platforms like Jinjiang had already been done.
She was no longer the simple girl who would scream at the sight of “toys.” She had long since evolved into a seasoned expert.
So, after thinking for a moment, she decided it wasn’t such a big deal. It was just a playful gesture between couples. If he enjoyed it, so would she.
