"Is the world going to change?" Ling Xiao looked out of the window. Suddenly, his gaze became determined. He called Ling Lan's communicator.
Ling Xiao knew that no matter where Ling Lan was, she wouldn't expose herself. Although Ling Lan kept saying that she had awakened her innate talent as a hacker, Ling Xiao knew that it wasn't just that. However, his daughter had grown up. She had her own secrets. Ling Xiao would pretend that he didn't know. He would wait until one day when his daughter was willing to tell him. Or perhaps, she wouldn't tell him for the rest of her life.
As expected, not long after, Ling Lan picked up the call. On the screen, Ling Lan's scarred face appeared. Ling Xiao's gaze couldn't help but darken.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Ling Lan didn't care about her disfigured face. She didn't look sad at all.
Ling Xiao knew that she wasn't pretending. Ling Lan really didn't care about it. He sighed again. His daughter had been raised astray by him. Girls should care about their appearance the most. Ling Lan was probably the one who was looked down upon the most.
Seeing Ling Xiao sigh, Ling Lan knew that he must be sad about her face. However, she couldn't say it out loud. Her face would recover sooner or later.
In a few days, the local products of Planet Juhao would be auctioned by the Federation Government. She had already arranged for the three companies that Little Four had developed over the years to send representatives there. In order to confuse others, the three companies were prepared to buy all the plants on Planet Juhao. Of course, if there were other competitors, they would give up some of the plants.
Of course, they must get the main ingredient of the Nuwa agent. Speaking up to this point, Ling Lan didn't know what Little Four had been thinking back then. This reckless fellow had actually created three companies that sold the same product, and even made these three companies fight to the death, becoming mortal enemies with each other. They wanted to destroy each other at any moment. Little did they know that their big boss was actually just one person.
However, it was also because of this that Ling Lan was able to calmly make arrangements. If no one paid attention to the vegetation, she would arrange for a small company to quietly bid for it. But if it was noticed by other companies, she would get the three major companies to make a move. This would create a competition between rivals, and no one would be willing to admit defeat. She would raise the price by a large margin to scare away those interested parties.
This way, no matter which of the three corporations obtained the rights to develop these plants, they would not have to worry about the Nuwa agent.
Of course, Ling Lan had already thought of an excuse to explain why she wanted to mine those plants in large quantities. Her military doctor, Li Shiyu, had long discovered that those useless dregs could be used together with some normal materials to create a top-notch skin care product that could maintain a woman's youth and slow down aging.
In this world, it was easy to earn money from women and children! Even in the interstellar era, this famous saying from Ling Lan's previous life still didn't go out of date.
Ling Lan didn't want her father to be troubled by her face that was about to recover. She thought for a while and decided to tell him the truth. "Dad, don't worry. My body's self-healing ability is increasing. It shouldn't take long for all these to disappear."
The seriousness in Ling Lan's eyes let Ling Xiao know that she wasn't lying. He, who had always been worried about Ling Lan's injuries, finally showed a happy smile.
Seeing the seriousness in Ling Xiao's eyes disappear, the corners of Ling Lan's lips curled up slightly.
As expected, this decision was right!
If she told him the truth, her secret and Li Shiyu's research might be exposed. However, when she thought about how worried her father was about her daughter's injuries and how he blamed himself for it, she felt that this risk was worth it.
Ling Xiao didn't ask why Ling Lan's injuries were getting better. He only asked Ling Lan to be careful not to get injured again. He was afraid that if she got injured again, her self-healing ability would be destroyed again.
Ling Xiao knew that there must be some special reason for a person who had completely lost her self-healing ability to recover.
However, since his daughter didn't want to tell him, why should he ask? Plus, he didn't want to know how to deal with the side effects of over-level control … Ling Xiao knew that this was a Pandora's box. Once it was opened, there would be endless trouble.
Ling Xiao also asked Ling Lan why the three marshals wanted to hide their levels. Ling Lan told him about her discovery and Long Xiang's investigation of the Magic Ace Clan 15 years ago. She also told him about the mine.
Since Long Xiang had made a move, the matter of the mine couldn't be hidden anymore. Ling Lan sighed inwardly. What a pity! She immediately told her father about the mine.
After the mastermind realized that he didn't have the means to control Liu Furong, he wanted to reveal the mine. He probably didn't want the mine to be secretly taken by others. If he couldn't get it, no one else could.
Rather than let Long Xiang find out that she had taken the mine and misunderstand that the father and son were greedy and wanted to keep it, it was better to hand it over and let her father ask the military for the benefits that they deserved.
It wasn't that Ling Lan didn't trust Liu Furong. It was just that there were too many people who knew about the mine. Since Ling Lan couldn't do something as ruthless as killing everyone who knew about the mine, she could only hand it over.
Fortunately, there was still the Soul Realm. Ling Lan originally thought that the materials in the Soul Realm weren't important anymore. She didn't expect that after going around in circles, she still had to find the Soul Realm to deal with Little Four and the others' bodies.
Fortunately, she still had Xia Qingyi as a backup.
Ling Lan thought in annoyance. If she didn't have to hand over the mine, she could just dig out some of it and deal with the materials for Little Four, Floret, and the instructors' bodies. But now, she had to start from scratch.
"So, you're in Mairfa." After hearing Ling Lan talk about the mine, Ling Xiao instantly understood where Ling Lan was.
"Yes, I want to know if Liu Furong is telling the truth." Of course, Ling Lan wouldn't tell her father that she actually wanted to secretly mine the mine …
Ling Lan, who had always been thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush at this moment. Fortunately, there were many scars on her face now. This faint blush wasn't obvious among the red scars.
"Lan'er, you're too rash." Ling Xiao's mind was completely focused on the danger his daughter was in and didn't notice Ling Lan's embarrassment. He frowned and said, "Even the Federation doesn't dare to provoke Mairfa easily … This is probably the reason why this mine can exist in Mairfa in perfect condition and hasn't been excavated."
"I even suspect that Mairfa knows about this mine and that's why they opened the casino there." Ling Xiao didn't believe that the forces developed by Mairfa wouldn't have investigated this planet in advance.
"They're afraid that the other countries will find out and attack them because of the huge benefits. It's better to pretend that they don't know, hide the mine secretly, and wait for an opportunity to slowly excavate it, "Ling Lan said thoughtfully.
