After Miss Xiao Rou left, Zuo Feng washed up briefly and then entered the bedroom, falling into a deep sleep.
At the same moment, in Yin Jiu's home, Yin Jiu held the woman in his arms but was sleepless all night; even the peerless beauty in his embrace no longer felt as appealing.
It turned out that not long after, the C-rank bounty that You Huanghe had posted in his name was completed, and as the poster, Yin Jiu naturally received the news immediately.
Initially, Yin Jiu was overjoyed to learn the exact news about Yun Qianqian, and immediately gathered his men, not wanting to waste a moment before heading to Firefly to forcefully take Yun Qianqian, the woman he had longed for day and night.
Yin Jiu didn't even put a small base of about a thousand people in his eyes, especially with the abundance of beautiful girls there, which made him even more restless.
However, he was stopped by Black Boss before he could even set off. There was no other reason; Black Boss knew Yin Jiu too well.
Upon learning that the C-rank bounty had been completed, he immediately understood that Yin Jiu would surely be unable to restrain himself from trying to snatch the person.
But Black Boss was very clear about Firefly's strength; the news reported by his scouts even startled him.
Thus, there was the scene of Black Boss stopping Yin Jiu, and also Yin Jiu's torment of sleepless nights.
The dream girl he had longed for day and night seemed within reach, yet became unattainable due to Firefly's immense strength, leaving him feeling as if cats were scratching at his heart.
At this moment, within Firefly Base, Yun Qianqian was chatting animatedly with Firefly's girls, gathered around the newly acquired Earth-type Mutant; the addition of a new Mutant to the base was naturally a major event worth celebrating.
Yun Qianqian looked at Xiao Shao Fu, Xiao Chu Niang, and Xiao Nv Pu, her eyes full of smiles. Since there was a new Mutant, it was natural to decide the ownership of the newly acquired Mutant.
However, since the three girls had all joined Firefly on the same day, Yun Qianqian found it difficult to directly decide ownership, so she suggested they determine the Mutant's ownership by playing rock-paper-scissors.
Xiao Shao Fu was full of confidence, Xiao Chu Niang was nervous, and Xiao Nv Pu looked expectant.
As Yun Qianqian gave the command, the three's fists crisscrossed in the air, while the other girls watched with smiles, creating a lively atmosphere. Xiao Nv Pu had excellent luck, winning three rounds in a row, which made the girls cheer with joy.
At this point, the ownership of this Mutant was naturally settled, and Xiao Nv Pu's cheeks flushed with excitement as she repeatedly expressed her thanks.
Although she cannot have relations with Feng Ge and thus control the Mutant due to the New type of symbiotic zombie virus, she is not in a hurry; the ownership is already hers, and it's only a matter of time. Moreover, the naming rights also belong to her.
Xiao Nv Pu immediately named the Mutant "Earth," and its two companion beasts were called "Tu Nini" and "Tu Shasha." As for the Pigeon eggs they produced, since there was no physical object yet, they couldn't be named for now.
Outside Firefly's bedrooms, it was even livelier now, with the girls' chattering rising and falling, and the squeaks of the companion beasts mixing in.
At this point, Firefly has a total of six Mutant zombies and one mutated zombie, while the number of companion beasts is naturally 14.
Now, what was once the girls' resting and chatting area has become a paradise for these small beasts, with them chasing and playing from time to time, occasionally knocking over objects and causing a burst of laughter.
Because of the addition of new Mutants and companion beasts, an extra sofa bed was naturally added, along with two exclusive rocking beds for the companion beasts.
After chatting for a while, the girls all went into their bedrooms to rest, leaving the small beasts to play freely in the living room.
The next morning, Zuo Feng, far away in E City, was awakened by a knock on the door. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he opened the door to see Miss Xiao Rou. Zuo Feng was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Morning, Miss Xiao Rou."
Seeing the breakfast Miss Xiao Rou carried, Zuo Feng knew that Miss Xiao Rou had come to bring him breakfast again. During his time in E City, his three meals a day were all carefully prepared by Miss Xiao Rou, and he had grown accustomed to it.
Miss Xiao Rou softly replied, "Morning, Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Feng opened the door to let Miss Xiao Rou in, while he went into the washroom to wash up. When Zuo Feng returned to the living room, Miss Xiao Rou had already set out breakfast; the steaming hot porridge and exquisite side dishes emitted an inviting aroma.
Zuo Feng picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot porridge, the warmth instantly spreading throughout his body.
At this moment, Miss Xiao Rou, also holding a bowl and drinking porridge, softly said:
"Mr. Zuo, I have already posted the E-rank bounty. Because you are leaving, the bounty was posted in my name. Once there is news, I will hire a Mutant to deliver the message to you at Firefly. Additionally, I will also help you keep an eye out for any news regarding special plants."
Miss Xiao Rou had known last night that Zuo Feng was leaving today. She didn't feel any reluctance about it; they were merely partners, with a tacit understanding.
Moreover, although Zuo Feng was leaving, the mission would continue, and it was a long-term bounty mission.
She had no losses, and as long as she put in effort, this would be a good source of long-term income.
Zuo Feng nodded and replied, "Alright, then I'll trouble Miss Xiao Rou with the follow-up."
Miss Xiao Rou smiled slightly and continued, "Mr. Zuo, the seller of that mutated plant has been contacted. We've arranged to trade at ten o'clock this morning in the abandoned town. The price is one seven-line zombie crystal."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up. Miss Xiao Rou's efficiency greatly pleased Zuo Feng, and he secretly praised her: He had only mentioned it late last night, and by the time he woke up this morning, the transaction time was already set.
Zuo Feng quickly finished the porridge in his bowl, put it down, and said, "Good, without further ado, let's depart now. One seven-line zombie crystal, the price is fair."
He quickly got up, tidied up a bit. Once the plant transaction was complete, he would return to Firefly Base. Having not seen Firefly's girls for over a week, a hint of longing arose in Zuo Feng's heart, and his steps quickened.
Soon, Zuo Feng got on his motorcycle, carrying Miss Xiao Rou, and headed towards the abandoned town.
The transaction went very smoothly; the seller arrived at the abandoned town at nine o'clock. After both parties completed the transaction, Zuo Feng sent Miss Xiao Rou back to E City, then could no longer suppress his longing for Firefly Base. He sped all the way, silently thinking of the girls' smiles and their chattering laughter.
Fortunately, the sapling from this transaction was very small, planted in a small flowerpot, making it easy to carry.
Zuo Feng sped along on his motorcycle, crossing the desolate countryside. Five hours later, Zuo Feng finally arrived at Firefly Base.
By this time, it was almost three in the afternoon. Most of Firefly's girls were currently at the construction site, overseeing the progress of the base's construction and the completion of various facilities.
Zuo Feng parked his motorcycle and entered the base. The entire base, at this moment, apart from dozens of female students patrolling, only Da Mi Tao, Xiao Mi Tao, and the group of researchers were busy in the Laboratory on the fifth underground level.
Zuo Feng tiptoed to the Laboratory door, pushed it open, and saw the busy figures of the researchers, but didn't see Da Mi Tao or Xiao Mi Tao.
He pulled over a researcher to ask and learned that the two girls were discussing the latest research progress in Professor Yan's Laboratory.
Zuo Feng's heart stirred. He quietly walked towards Professor Yan's Laboratory, gently knocked on the door, and upon hearing familiar voices from inside, his heart immediately warmed.
Pushing open the door, he indeed saw Da Mi Tao and Xiao Mi Tao intently discussing something with Professor Yan.
Seeing Zuo Feng, Xiao Mi Tao's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Feng Ge, you're finally back!" Then she threw herself into Zuo Feng's arms, hugging him tightly.
Da Mi Tao also turned her head, smiling and nodding, her eyes full of tenderness. Zuo Feng gently patted Xiao Mi Tao's back, softly saying, "I'm back. You all have worked hard during this time."
