Chapter 369 A pleasant chat with the commander (3)
"There is a layer of fine hairs on the epidermis. Is this to prevent water loss? Is the place of production dry?"
"Yes, it is only produced in oases in the desert, and not in every oasis. For example, this oasis had a good harvest last year, but this year it may not have fruit. Instead, it may be found in another oasis that is who knows how far away." Ye Na explained in detail.
"So troublesome?" The commander and the staff officer were both amazed. "Purely wild? Not artificially grown?"
Ye Nai nodded repeatedly. "It's pure wild, delicious, sweet and crunchy. It's from the desert, you know, it's definitely sweet. When you eat it, the juice flows down your arms, and it's sticky. If you don't wash your hands after eating, you'll be surrounded by bugs. Plus, it's difficult to collect, so it's sold as expensive as gold. This is not an exaggeration. Not to mention how many intact fruits are left after picking them and successfully walking out of the desert, the wages paid to the workers alone are gold coins. The picking season is two months a year, and the people around here can earn enough for their family's living expenses in these two months. When they are sold to rich people, I don't know how many times it will be multiplied, and how many gold coins it will cost."
"Oh, I've learned something new. It turns out to be so expensive."
The commander and the staff also nodded and put down the fruits in their hands.
"Hurry up and eat. After you finish your meal, come and taste this fruit."
The commander said with a smile, his eyes still filled with curiosity and anticipation for this strange fruit.
The staff officer echoed, and everyone's attention returned to the food on the table. At the same time, they were also pondering these new things about the alien world and thinking about the value and meaning they might contain.
This information is not only a novel experience for them, but also likely to have an impact on future military operations and strategic decisions. Ye Naike didn't care what they were thinking at the moment, and she didn't need to chat anymore. She hurriedly lowered her head to eat.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
We had wasted a lot of time eating and chatting before, so now no one spoke. The table became quiet for a while, and the loudest sound was the slight collision between the soup spoon and the edge of the bowl when pouring the soup.
The portions for three people were just right. After the meal, Ye Na was very satisfied and had a happy expression on her face.
The staff officer tapped his bracelet lightly, and soon after, a staff member knocked on the door and came in to clean the table. They replaced the three people's tea to help them digest their food, and carefully picked up the bag of fruit, washed it, and brought it up on a plate.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Na took the initiative to talk about returning to Daijing in a while.
"Commander, please contact the National Defense University so that I don't have to bother them to arrange the route. I will go back to Daijing by myself. The journey of more than 1,000 kilometers requires several helicopters to relay in sections. This is a big move. If I accept it, it means I owe them a favor. If they want to recruit me to study there, and I say no, that would be a disgrace to them."
Commander Chen couldn't help but sigh, feeling it was a pity that Ye Nai gave up this opportunity, "You really don't want to go? That's the National Defense University!"
"The war is almost over. I won't go. I won't go."
"So what about going to a community university? With the points you've earned now, you're already a bronze-level hunter. If you want to go back to school, there are preferential conditions. There's also an awakened college in the community university, but it focuses on liberal arts, science, and engineering. Most of the people trained are brainpower and support personnel. The combat awakened and special support talents all go to military academies."
"But my special ability is not for combat." Ye Nai spread her hands and smiled, "As for social universities, I'm afraid there is no major I can study? Space department, maybe I can study logistics? Does the university have a logistics major? Maybe when I return to Beijing, I will check which schools have this major as the ace major."
Commander Chen stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "It seems feasible to use your super-large space ability to work in logistics. If it is true as you said, the war is almost over, and post-war reconstruction will inevitably require a large amount of large-scale logistics transportation. One of those things weighs dozens of tons. Can your space accommodate it?"
"Yes, I can let it go." Ye Na answered affirmatively.
"That's good. I hope you have a clear plan for your future. A logistics operator with super-large space ability, wow, you just entered the school and the orders are coming right after you." "Haha, thank you for your kindness, Commander. Then please help me contact the National Defense University and convey my gratitude. Thank you for their trouble and kindness. The contributions of both parties are really not equal. I dare not accept this favor."
"Okay, it's a small matter."
Commander Chen nodded to the staff officer, who then took out his cell phone, stood up and went outside to make a call.
Two or three minutes later, the staff officer opened the door and came back.
"After the call, they said they would stop the relevant arrangements according to the procedures. However, we still want to thank you for helping the students. It's just that the students who received your help may come to you on their own."
"Thank you, that's fine. I was just saving someone, but I never thought that the National Defense University would come to repay the favor. It's scary." Ye Na hurriedly thanked the staff officer who remained silent most of the time.
"But..." Commander Chen spoke again, "If you don't want to fly back by helicopter, how are you going to get back? Drive back?"
"No, no, I won't drive. It took me ten days to get here. If I have to drive another ten days to get back to Beijing, my back will ache just thinking about it."
"Then I'm even more curious. How are you going to get back? Not flying back, not driving back. Are you going to teleport back?"
When Ye Na heard the commander say this, she smiled at him.
Commander Chen, who had just made a casual joke, immediately sat up straight and the smile on his face disappeared.
The staff officer, who had already returned to his chair and was about to pull it out and sit down, stood still.
The six eyes of the two people stared at Ye Nai without blinking.
“… No, isn’t it?”
Commander Chen and his staff officer looked at each other in bewilderment. Both grown men were a little confused and didn't dare to guess any further.
"Commander, there is an old saying that goes, after learning the arts of civil and martial arts, one can sell them to the emperor. I think, with my accumulated knowledge, experience and supernatural powers, it is time for me to sell myself for a good price. I wonder if I can take advantage of your help and help me make some connections?"
Commander Chen pursed his lips slightly and pondered for a moment.
"Who do you want to lead the line to?"
Ye Nai said the same thing: "Want to hold a New Year's party in another world at the end of the year? The commander will help me to build a bridge for whoever can do this, okay?"
Commander Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Ye Nai's face, and asked, "Can we really go to the other world to hold a party at the end of the year? Isn't there any false exaggeration or bragging?"
"Not at all. Commander, just focus on the coordination." Yenna said firmly.
