Shang Yifeng refused to give up: "The Jiuzhou Legion fights on the front lines, coming into contact with a vast amount of supernatural power related materials. We also have our own research institutions."
The colonel tried to lure him with benefits: "As long as you join the Jiuzhou Legion, you can freely research anything the legion acquires."
Yang Fan remained unmoved: "The supernatural domain is infinite; researching mutated crops alone could take many, many years."
He delivered a killer statent: "Besides, if I have needs, I can apply to the country, and I believe the country will certainly provide."
The implication was—Even if I don't join the Jiuzhou Legion, and want to study the materials it acquires, do you dare deny ?
Now he possessed a halo bestowed by Xiaoya, elevating his status substantially; getting things from the Jiuzhou Legion was truly no difficult task.
Shang Yifeng reluctantly gave up: "Chairman Yang, you're more formidable than I imagined."
Yang Fan delivered a slap, followed by a sweet date: "But I think, in the future, there should be many opportunities for cooperation between myself and the Jiuzhou Legion."
Shang Yifeng instantly forgot the recent unpleasantness; his old face quickly filled with smiles: "Of course, we have plenty of opportunities for cooperation."
The colonel foresaw that soon, this young genius would undoubtedly beco a major figure in Great Xia's supernatural research domain.
From the Jiuzhou Legion's standpoint, since they couldn't recruit this young genius into the legion, maintaining a close cooperative relationship was not a bad thing.
Five minutes later.
Yang Fan's intuition proved correct.
A call from an old acquaintance ca through: "Dean Yang, there's an urgent order from above.
"We have to take the Weather Tree for a flight to Jindu City in Tianfu Province to use it in detecting frost disaster trends.
"You understand the Weather Tree best; the top hopes you can personally oversee things in Jindu, so we'll need to trouble you this ti."
This was Director Chang Yiming of the Special Plant Research Institute.
Yang Fan readily replied: "No problem!"
Director Chang added: "An Air Force transport plane is ready; it can take off at any ti. A helicopter will soon co to pick you and Miss Ling."
Yang Fan responded: "Understood!"
Before long.
Accompanied by the 'whirring' vibrations, a green camouflaged military helicopter descended toward a plaza inside the Great Xia National Museum.
"Click!"
The female secretary took a selfie with her phone.
Of course, she was the protagonist in the photo, with the descending military helicopter serving as the most magnificent backdrop.
Ling Shuiling clicked to send it to her Monts, accompanying it with a line of discreet yet luxurious text: "Always busy! Going to be away for a few more days."
As a smart girl, she didn't mindlessly flaunt it by setting it visible to everyone.
Only a scant dozen friends could see this post.
Among them were her parents.

Linjiang City.
City center, Lanjiang Prefecture luxury villa area.
In the third minute after the female secretary posted to her Monts, Ling's Mother, scrolling through her phone, saw her daughter's latest update.
She stared at her daughter's avatar for a few monts and then surprisingly gazed at the military helicopter for quite a while.
Ling's Mother got up and walked to the study, first knocking a few tis on the door, then entered joyfully saying: "Jianshan, did you see what Lingling posted to her Monts?"
Ling Jianshan responded with an "Hmm," his tone slightly subtle: "Just saw it."
Ling's Mother clicked her tongue several tis: "Lingling has really made achievents."
Ling Jianshan paused for a mont, nodded: "Indeed."
He knew, his wife's words were intentionally said for him to hear.
When their daughter graduated, he had arranged through connections for her to work at a major financial institution, but she resigned after two years.
At that ti, Ling Jianshan was greatly angry, saying she didn't know how to seize opportunities and that her whole life would amount to such limited achievents.
But judging from this photo, their daughter's achievents seed stronger than his as a father.
At least, Ling Jianshan never enjoyed the special privilege of being picked up by a military helicopter.
Ling's Mother said with great satisfaction: "Lingling's eye for people is indeed a hundred tis better than mine!"
This statent was true.
However, it didn't sit well with Ling Jianshan, though he was too lazy to argue with his wife.
Ling's Mother continued: "It'd be great if Lingling could have children sooner; I'm only fifty now, still energetic, just in ti to help Lingling raise kids."
Ling Jianshan couldn't listen anymore: "Alright, alright, I have work to do now."
Ling's Mother, having indulged in "flaunting daughter" in front of her husband, left satisfied.
Ling Jianshan sat on the chair but didn't work.
He held his phone, staring at the photo his daughter posted on Monts, quietly muttering: "How is this 24-year-old boy so impressive?"
He believed his life to be quite successful, yet he must admit the achievents pale in comparison to the man his daughter had chosen.
