Chapter 1116: A Secret Journey Through the Chencang Pass
nything else.Since he's the one delivering the message, he must know a lot of useful information. We should dig deeper."Well, I agree. We've already intensified the interrogation."The moment the voice...Before Xiao Liu could even give the ripples to the first flower, another one bloomed. This one was in a larger pot and, most importantly, it felt more alive. It only interacted with Lian Yi, its grower, expressing its wishes through the movement of the pot and leaves.
Xiao Liu was taken aback and immediately conducted a thorough scan of Duo Duo before reaching a conclusion:
"Ripples, according to my analysis, this flower has mutated. What good fortune you have!"
Little Six said with a slightly sour tone.
"Should mutant plants be reported"
Of course, or else how would you contract
"Report it online immediately, and then help me apply for a contract. Good luck is coming our way, we can't stop it!"
Ripples exclaimed excitedly.
"Okay, I've already taken the picture and uploaded it. I estimate that an expert will come to inspect it. Just wait."
Little Six immediately said, though he was complaining he didn't delay his work.
Are there any updates from Officer Lance
Ripple cares about this.
The Central Star Police Department has arrived, taking the three bodies and also taking Yun Chuan away. After realizing that he couldn't continue his investigation, Langs directly reported the case to headquarters.
Xiaoliu has always been paying attention to the progress of the investigation over there, so he is still very clear about it.
"Has my surveillance been lifted"
Fewer people are being monitored, but surveillance hasn't been completely lifted.
"I understand."
Ripples just wants to quietly wait for the arrival of the entrance exam. As long as those people don't come looking for her, she's not planning on doing anything out of the ordinary.
The next morning, employees from the Lantea Welfare Department, the Agriculture Department, and the Contracts Department, along with Lance, went into Ripple's small courtyard.
Ripples couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and she invited everyone into her own small building.
"Miss He Lianyi, would you be willing to show us the mutated flowers you've cultivated first"
The officials from the Agricultural Affairs Department couldn't wait to say.
Of course!
Ripple entered her bedroom and took Dodo out of the crib.
"This is the dahlia I cultivated. I named her Duo Duo, and she even knows how to respond to me!"
The ripples immediately displayed a variety of flowers to everyone.
Duo Duo was an old actress. After Lian Yi called her name, she cooperated by turning the flower stand and shaking it towards Lian Yi.
"Did you see that Wasn't it amazing"
Ripple raised her hand to touch Doudou's leaves, her eyes full of love. This kind of love was impossible to fake.
"Well, a preliminary look does show some variation. And this plant seems to have a fairly high intelligence. Allow us to conduct a preliminary assessment."
A man from the Agricultural Affairs Department immediately spoke up.
"Good."
The Social Welfare Department and the Contracts Department then, under Lang's supervision, questioned everyone about the entire cultivation process, as well as the origin of the seeds.
Ripples answered seriously and carefully, and even showed a video of Dodo's growth recorded by ZhiNao, which also included the growth record of another peony she had given away.
"Another one you've already given away"
"Yes, I gave it to Officer Silvano of the W Star Police Department. Officer Lance should know him."
The ripples kicked the ball to Officer Lance.
Lans really knew about this because the ripples sent out a package that they secretly intercepted and inspected. After finding nothing unusual, they released it.
"This type of lily is already precious, you cultivated an ordinary one, and also a mutated one. It seems you are very talented in planting."
I didn't really know this flower was so valuable. When I chose the seeds, I just thought it looked nice and smelled good, and could decorate my room, so I bought it. At the time, my smart brain even reminded me that this kind of flower wasn't easy to grow.
I bought ten seeds just to give it a try. Unexpectedly, only two survived in the end. I was lucky, though. However, the mutated Dodoros probably have more to do with the seeds themselves than my caregiving.
"As you can see, I've been caring for both of these plants the same way. Even the one that mutated bloomed later than the other. I thought it might not bloom at all, but it surprised me!"
With a smile that couldn't quite reach her eyes, she said, "Obviously, I look like someone who was hit in the face with a pie."
The staff can understand too, after all, they are just adults. It's their first time successfully planting a difficult flower and growing it into a plant companion. If they were in their shoes, they would also secretly be happy.
The Agricultural Affairs Bureau officer scanned Dodor from top to bottom, registered her information, and then tentatively asked:
"Miss He Lianyi, would you be willing to sell this mutated plant to the government"
Liàn Yī was taken aback and immediately became unhappy:
"This is one I raised myself, I'm not selling it!"
Perhaps influenced by the ripple's tone, Dodo, who was originally acting like a good child in her flowerpot, immediately reacted. She burst through the flowerpot right in front of everyone and quickly grew larger. Her large leaves directly slapped the person who had asked the question.
A loud "crack" echoed through the room, leaving everyone stunned.
"Dodo, come back!"
Ripple spoke immediately.
This time, Doudou has returned, but she shrunk her size and directly coiled around Lian's wrist, like a carved wooden bangle.
The beaten staff member finally came to their senses, while the contract department staff members smirked. After all, the mutated plant's reaction was too quick. This was without a contract. If the contract were successful, the compatibility between the two parties would likely be even higher.
Lans' gray-blue eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth to ask the Agricultural Bureau personnel:
Is this plant aggressive
The staff member who had been slapped in the face touched his flushed cheeks and said with a wry smile:
The level of aggression is currently unassessable. I haven't witnessed the opponent's full form, and they haven't yet formed a contract with Miss Ripple.
However, because this plant was cultivated from seed step by step, she is very close to Miss Ripple. If they form a contract, it will definitely be successful, and their loyalty will also be very high. Afterward, as Miss Ripple's strength increases, the pet plant's strength will also increase.
The people of the pact also chimed in:
We can help Miss Ripple make a pact with this plant right now. The rest can be explored slowly after the pact is made.
Lans watched as Ripples guarded her crops, and knew the Department of Agriculture's plan to buy up her mutated plants was sunk.
"Both the Social Welfare Department and I are here as supervisory bodies. You can now assist He Lianyi and Yizhi in forming a contract."
"Okay!"
Then Ripples feigned a sigh of relief, and patted the buds on her wrist:
"It's alright now, you won't leave me, we'll form a bond right now."
What she didn't expect was that the contract department used a method of contract formation that was surprisingly similar to the cultivation world. They first had her drop blood onto the roots of the plant, and then guided her spiritual power to merge with the consciousness of the alien plant.
Because Dodo cooperated, the contract between Ripple and Lianyi was very smooth. After the contract was completed, Dodo directly transmitted a voice:
"Master, I wrapped up that drop of blood. I'll spit it out when these people leave. It's not your essence blood, I won't absorb it!"inctively, he reached up to touch it, only to find his hand covered in blood. He went to draw his gun but was kicked hard in the stomach by Ripples, sending him flying into the dark tunnel wall. He s...
