Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 356 - 112: Special Competition Venue

"Is it really that impressive?" The security guard was swayed, "What’s this supreme technique called?"

"It’s called Su’s Invincible Qi Sensing Thunder Whip."

"Uh." It didn’t sound very reliable, and the security guard cautiously asked, "Boss, did you just come up with that name on the spot?"

Su Xiaocai turned her face away, "Ahem, how about you give it a try too?"

Security guard: "I..."

Young boss, you’re really lacking boundaries, wanting to start with him.

The security guard played along with her act, replying, "Such a powerful technique, I’m afraid of going astray if I join halfway. I’ll definitely ask for your guidance when you master it. Besides, it’s my patrol time now."

Su Xiaocai waved her hand, "Alright then, you go patrol, I’ll keep practicing."

The security guard wasn’t reassured, "It’s eleven thirty. If you, boss, don’t go to sleep, I’ll tell Doctor Ji that you’re not taking care of your health."

How annoying, who is your boss after all?

Su Xiaocai was really afraid that Ji Li would actually come find her. This person had a terrifying influence, especially when she had done something wrong.

If she hurt herself and still pushes her body, he might risk breach of contract and take back the laboratory.

With her two "lifelines" in Ji Li’s hands, Su Xiaocai had no choice but to obediently put away the whip and return to the bedroom in the lab to rest.

She wiped her body with a damp handkerchief, lifted the medical bandage, and replaced it with a clean one.

The external wound was gone, but it wasn’t visible inside. She needed topical medication to accelerate bone healing and an internal nutritional pin to speed it up.

Once the nutritional pin was fully absorbed, the bone was expected to heal.

During the following week, Su Xiaocai took more than an hour each night to practice her whip skills cautiously without touching the wound.

And it rained with thunderstorms every day for a week, adding a bit of coolness to the stuffy weather.

Although the training didn’t yield much success, her recovery sped up, which was good news.

Another check-up at the school clinic. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ji Li said her recovery was beast-like.

"You’re the beast, you’re a turtle." This time, to thank Ji Li, Su Xiaocai actually gifted turtles, two mini turtles, no larger than a palm.

These turtles have a very unique feature. They’re lazy, yet resilient in life, able to burrow in dry sand for over a month without eating or drinking if without food.

However, mini turtles have specific living conditions, needing a large enough tank half filled with dry sand and half with water.

"So you bought turtles for a few hundred dollars, but I need to buy a tank for thousands? Doesn’t include delivery?" Ji Li pointed at the motionless turtles on the desk, amused.

"It’ll arrive this afternoon, cash on delivery." Su Xiaocai whistled, looking skyward at a forty-five degree angle, "How could I not handle it, I’m not that kind of person."

Look into my eyes when you say that, Ji Li thought.

Had he not spoken up, Su Xiaocai truly wouldn’t handle it.

He wanted turtle art, not real turtles.

Looking into the beady eyes of the two turtles, Ji Li felt woeful.

Ji Li pinched her slightly chubby cheeks, playfully scolding, "You’ve got nerve, gifting me these turtles. You take responsibility for turtle food too."

"Then give me the turtles, and I’ll return them." Su Xiaocai, her cheeks pinched, could only mumble.

"Don’t even think about it. I heard you’ve been misbehaving every night, playing with a whip for fun..."

"Who told you that?" Traitor, all traitors.

"Never mind who."

Su Xiaocai’s cheeks turned red from the pinching.

Just then, her communicator rang.

Ji Li let go of her, first placing the turtles in a big beaker, where they lay still at the edge.

Huahua jumped onto the table, reaching out a paw to catch them, but Ji Li held the cat’s paw, "You’re getting more and more like your owner, curious about everything."

Unable to touch the turtles, Huahua turned to push his ceramic cup, tilting its head as if to say, "I’m going to push this, what will you do?"

"Can you keep your Huahua in check?" Ji Li retrieved the cup, placing it on the other side.

The fat cat hugged its paws, pretending to scratch him.

Su Xiaocai gave Huahua a pat on the head, "I have something to do, please take care of Huahua for me, I’ll be back later."

Ji Li: "Can I hit it? It’s getting so naughty."

She took out two pieces of dried meat, stuffing them into his hand, "Would you really? Please look after Huahua, something important has come up, I can’t take it with me now."

The principal summoned her specifically to his office, saying people from the military and the competition committee were looking for her.

"What’s it about?"

"I don’t know, the principal didn’t say."

"Be careful, contact me if anything happens."

"Mm, Brother Ji, you’re the most reliable, I’ll definitely seek your help if needed."

Ji Li: "Let’s avoid that, okay? Can’t handle it."

Su Xiaocai clicked her tongue, then took a car to the principal’s office.

She knocked and entered, finding ten people inside the office.

Yu Haoming was curled up at the end of the sofa, the weakest presence, looking a bit pitiful.

Five others were in military uniforms.

Another three were in suits, presumably committee members, appearing young, unlike the old folks from last time.

Among them, Su Xiaocai only recognized Admiral Bai’s secretary. So she could only smile and nod at them.

Su Xiaocai walked over to Yu Haoming and sat down, as there wasn’t enough space on the sofa, she took a stool.

She asked Yu Haoming, "What’s going on?"

"I don’t know, Kaye informed me that the military wanted to see me, then sent me to the school here." Due to the rushed call, he hadn’t groomed, only changed clothes.

His hair was messy, like it was swept by a typhoon.

The principal introduced Su Xiaocai and Yu Haoming to the guests, "They are all organizers of the Ten-Star Competition. They want Extraordinary Island to provide venues for the first and second events."

What? Yu Haoming was puzzled, what venue from Extraordinary Island.

The company had made a bit of money but hadn’t bought any land.

"Are you talking about virtual venues?" Su Xiaocai added, "You want to use Extraordinary Island’s game mechanics to create the competition grounds?"

"Exactly, we previously considered having more students participate. But many games developed by companies didn’t meet our expectations, so the plan was shelved."

They pushed some paper materials of the competition plan in front of her.

The simulated competition was divided into two parts, "a platform competition simulating various scenarios and a team competition."

Su Xiaocai flipped through the platform competition documents, "This platform competition, other companies can do it too, why entrust it to us?"

A committee representative smiled, "The Extraordinary Island plan is the closest to realistic operations. Later, there’s a competition requiring students to compete in reality, so the earlier matches must align student capabilities with reality."

The committee representative even praised, "We compared over ten thousand games, and only the Extraordinary Island game made the cut."

They spoke so flatteringly, someone unaware might really believe their words were true, thinking her company was the sole choice.

Su Xiaocai wasn’t interested in such fluff, "So, how much time are you planning to give us for this project, and how will the payment be calculated?"

The Ten-Star Competition is an official project and definitely requires bidding.

The bidding requirements and necessary qualifications also needed clarity here.

She didn’t want to develop a competition venue only to be sidelined midway.

Knowing her product was better, yet being overtaken by some knockoff, she would be livid.

"We can offer fifty million as payment."

Su Xiaocai thought she misheard.

The committee repeated the fifty million figure.

Su Xiaocai chuckled, "Fifty million is too little for even scripting."

"Ahem." The principal interjected, "Listen to their ideas first, don’t be quick to conclude."

The committee wasn’t embarrassed; the decision wasn’t theirs. They were just messengers fulfilling a need.

The competition model proposed by the military left the committee with no choice but to proceed and present a strategy.

And given the military’s preference for this game company, their hands were tied, left to sell the grand prospects.
