Watching the famous stoic captain now smiling gently at a young woman, Wu Lian felt he was witnessing something shocking.
After introducing Wu Lian to Yao Ran, Long Yu turned to him and asked, "Captain Wu, why did you invite my girlfriend here?"
Hearing this, Wu Lian's eyes widened in surprise. After a moment's silence, he coughed lightly to hide his surprise and said, "I heard that this young lady was the one who provided the liquid fertilizer to my subordinate."
Yao Ran nodded, and then Wu Lian asked, "Young Lady, may I ask where you obtained the liquid fertilizer?"
When Yao Ran made her plan, she had already decided to hide her identity just in case The Ark investigated this matter, so she calmly replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't disclose the source to you."
Hearing her response, Wu Lian felt disappointed.
He glanced at Long Yu for a moment, then looked at Yao Ran and said, "To be honest with you, those at the top are eager to get more of your liquid fertilizer. Is there any chance we could buy more from you?"
Yao Ran nodded. "I can help you get the liquid fertilizer if you want, but I don't wish to be identified. If you can keep my involvement in this matter a secret, I will help you obtain more of it."
Wu Lian's eyes flickered briefly when he heard this.
Most people would be eager to gain control over something as crucial as this liquid fertilizer and establish their power. For her to want to conceal her involvement in this matter, Wu Lian suspected the source of the liquid fertilizer might be linked to black market dealers.
He thought for a moment and said, "Alright. I will keep your involvement a secret."
Yao Ran nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How much do you need?"
Wu Lian replied, "As much as you can provide."
When Yao Ran heard his answer, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What can you offer as payment?"
When she asked this, Wu Lian didn't answer directly. He thought for a while and asked back, "What do you want?"
Yao Ran doesn't actually need anything, but she needs to upgrade her space. Thinking that the military might be able to find more antiques than Ling Yi, she said, "Antiques or gold."
The moment she said this, Long Yu realized she wanted to upgrade her space. Thinking about the incoming natural disasters, he understood that they needed to gather as many antiques as possible before they were destroyed.
Since most museums were government-owned, she might secure more antiques from this transaction. As Long Yu considered the pros and cons of working with the military, Wu Lian looked at Yao Ran thoughtfully.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright. I will prepare the antiques for you. As for the gold, I will need to report to my supervisor first."
