In the following time, the Village Chief answered all of Chen Ye and the others’ questions.

For example, what the yield was, and what to pay attention to when planting.

However, from start to finish, he never mentioned the issue of how the trade would be conducted.

That old man smiled like a fox.

Sneaky and shifty.

Fortunately, the trade time was settled.

Tomorrow morning after breakfast, both sides would conduct a trade to see each other’s stockpiles.

No one had any objections to this point.

When they were leaving, the Village Chief even had them all go take a look at the flowerpots.

A green sprout had already emerged from the soil in the pot planted with lettuce, revealing a tiny head.

The sight amazed the group.

The Divine Elephant Village arranged a large courtyard for the convoy’s superhumans as a place to rest.

When Chen Ye arrived at his room, he found it had already been cleaned spotlessly, though the furnishings inside were very simple.

Just a bed, a chair, and a table.

There was also a large window that offered a view of the scenery outside.

The blood moon in the sky looked much clearer than before.

Chen Ye could sense the Divine Elephant walking slowly on the ground. It wasn’t that he could feel the muscular movements of the Divine Elephant through the thick layer of soil, but rather that the blood moon before his eyes was also slowly moving.

Thinking of the ideal seed varieties he saw tonight.

Chen Ye knew he absolutely had to get his hands on these ideal seed varieties.

With this thing, the convoy’s need for supplies would greatly decrease in the future.

It might not even be impossible to achieve complete self-sufficiency one day.

If only they weren’t in the Divine Elephant Village…

Well, the Divine Elephant Village was, after all, someone else’s territory.

He had no clear idea how many hidden cards the other side still hadn’t revealed.

Every sequence superpower has its own unimaginable aspects.

This phrase wasn’t just empty talk.

The Botanist Sequence he witnessed today opened Chen Ye’s eyes wide.

According to what that Big Head Village Chief said, Professor Liu only advanced to Sequence 3 Little Shennong after cultivating the “New Century 72-Type Potato No. 1”.

Sequence 3, huh.

That Big Head Village Chief also said that when the Smoke Apostle reaches Sequence 3, three branches appear: one is to continue down the Smoke Apostle path, another is the Mist Lord, and as for the third, he didn’t know either.

Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 were merely just getting started.

Only upon reaching Sequence 3 did one truly step onto the path of sequence superpowers.

It’s just that his “Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique” now seemed somewhat inadequate.

Also, he had taken that Magic Potion Capsule before, which was said to be able to stimulate human potential.

Why hasn’t there been any reaction until now?

Or did he simply have no potential at all?

Just as Chen Ye had lit a cigarette.

Chu Che knocked on his door, telling Chen Ye to come to a meeting.

When Chen Ye arrived in the middle of the small courtyard, the others were already there.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were strange, a mix of excitement and worry.

The light of the blood moon shone on each person’s face, adding a trace of an eerie atmosphere to the scene.

“Ahem… everyone, what are your thoughts on today’s events?”

Chu Che cleared his throat twice before speaking.

The Pink-haired Girl didn’t speak, instead looking at Chen Ye.

Ding Dong remained silent, staring blankly at the table in front of her.

As for Iron Lion…

Well, that guy was sleeping. Chu Che simply hadn’t called him.

Chen Ye, cigarette dangling from his mouth, his gaze turning somewhat profound: “That old man today deliberately showed off those two seed varieties in front of us on purpose!”

“That old thing has quite a few tricks up his sleeve!”

Hearing Chen Ye say this, Chu Che immediately became alert: “Chen Ye, you wouldn’t…”

Chen Ye waved his hand: “I’m not an idiot. This place is the Divine Elephant Village. If I made a move, I probably wouldn’t get out!”

“This village is weird and strange. To say it doesn’t have some shady business going on, even Iron Lion wouldn’t believe it!”

Especially that Temple.

When Chen Ye entered that Temple, he always felt it was weird and strange, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

He estimated the biggest secret of the entire Divine Elephant Village was inside that Temple.

“Heh heh… good thing Iron Lion isn’t here, otherwise he’d definitely have it out with you!”

The Pink-haired Girl felt Chen Ye’s mouth was cheap, always making fun of Iron Lion.

“What are your thoughts?”

Chu Che ignored the bickering between Chen Ye and the Pink-haired Girl.

These two clearly seemed interested in each other, but except for that one day, there hadn’t been any further contact.

Captain Chu had eavesdropped many times, but there was zero progress.

Ding Dong thought for a moment and said: “The Village Chief did this because he wanted us to know he has good stuff in his hands, to let us prepare!”

“The trade time is set for tomorrow, obviously also because he’s afraid we can’t reach an agreement on the spot, letting us come back to discuss it!”

“I have no objections, Captain. You can decide on all my supplies tomorrow. It’s just that we must get those two seed varieties.”

The Pink-haired Girl was the first to express her opinion.

Chu Che gave a slight nod to the Pink-haired Girl.

Ding Dong said: “The importance of the seed varieties is self-evident. If we want them, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to trade for them. However, the Divine Elephant Village has a large population and lacks everything, so we aren’t completely without room to maneuver on our side either.”

“I saw they were very interested in fish meat. We can trade using fish meat!”

Chen Ye also chimed in: “Squad Leader Chu, haven’t you been writing that notebook or something? That thing is good stuff. I estimate it could also trade for quite a lot!”

Chu Che sighed: “Don’t even think about that thing. If I’m not mistaken, that old fellow definitely has a notebook too. We’ll definitely have to exchange them when the time comes!”

“How about, we…”

“Stop right there, Chen Ye. Don’t even think about your crooked methods. Others aren’t fools!”

Chen Ye curled his lip. Robbery?

Probably couldn’t pull it off, right?

That wasn’t what he wanted to say.

But since Chu Che interrupted him, Chen Ye decided not to voice his dirty trick.

It was truly a bit too damaging to moral bottom lines.

Damaging his image in everyone’s minds even further later on wouldn’t be great either.

“Everyone, don’t be so pessimistic. Once we get those seed varieties and learn how to cultivate them, we can also trade them to other convoys.”

“We get fleeced once here today, tomorrow we’ll fleece others twice, even three or four times!”

“Recovering the loss isn’t a problem!”

Hearing Chen Ye say this, the expressions on the others’ faces improved somewhat.

Chu Che gave Chen Ye a thumbs-up: “Chen Ye, as expected of you, only you could think of such a good method!”

“Damn it, get lost!”

Chen Ye glared at him angrily.

“By the way, Squad Leader Chu, did you eavesdrop on that Village Chief tonight for any little secrets? It might have a surprising effect during tomorrow’s trade.”

Chen Ye thought about it and still voiced the idea in his mind.

Everyone present looked at Chen Ye with disdainful eyes.

Chen Ye glared back angrily, returning each stare one by one.

“Am I doing this for myself? Isn’t it for the convoy?”

“Chu Che, I don’t believe you won’t eavesdrop tonight.”

Chu Che wore an expression of righteous indignation: “I’m different from you.”

Furious, Chen Ye turned and left, not wanting to waste another half-sentence on these hypocrites.

After the courtyard meeting ended.

Only then did Chu Che leisurely return to his own room.

He checked whether the door and windows were shut tightly.

Then, he quietly retrieved that Eavesdropping Radio from his personal luggage.

He fiddled with it on the table for a while…
