On the tenth year after the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Yang Jin hid his first encounter with Xia Qing and answered truthfully, "In July of the sixth year of the natural disaster, when you participated in the mission of Brother Luo's team, I discovered that you were a dual-evolutionary of strength and vision, and wanted to recruit you into the team to train as a sniper."

Each type of evolver has some habitual movements when using their abilities. For example, a visual evolver will look into the distance for a longer time, and an auditory evolver will subconsciously adjust the angle to align their ears with the direction of the source of a subtle sound.

Xia Qing nodded. Yang Jin, who was also a visual evolver, could capture his expression and eye changes when he used his visual abilities.

As a dual-evolver of vision and strength, she is a good candidate for being a sniper. After she and Luo Pei's team went on several missions, Wei Chengdong did ask her if she wanted to join the Qinglong team. She thought it was just Wei Chengdong asking casually, but she didn't expect it was Yang Jin's idea.

"After I found out that you had no intention of joining the team and continued to work in the construction team and kept your distance from everyone, I guessed that you had a bigger secret. Then, I found out that you were a three-series evolver and had a grudge against Tang Zhengsu."

It was also during this process that Yang Jin's feelings towards Xia Qing changed from initial shock at first sight to admiration, liking, and love, and he began to protect her silently from afar.

"You have a strong character, high mental quality and ability to withstand pressure, and you have a common enemy with Qinglong. The most important point is that you were willing to take out the unpolluted spring water to save Brother Luo, which shows that you believe in the Qinglong team and are willing to cooperate with us. So I bet that after you grow up, you can become a powerful force for Qinglong to defeat Su Feng. Facts have proved that my bet was right."

Yang Jin paused, then continued with a smile, "When I first entered Territory No. 3 to discuss cooperation with you, I wanted to suggest that I pretend to be your boyfriend. But you were like a hedgehog at the time, extremely wary of me, so I changed my mind and let Hu Zifeng pretend to be your boyfriend."

After answering Xia Qing's question, Yang Jin mentioned the deal again, "Sister Qing, our current strength and status are comparable, and we share similar interests. This cooperation is mutually beneficial."

After saying this, Yang Jin leaned back in his chair, looking determined to win.

His smart brain reminded him that he should pick up the teacup and drink a few sips of water to relieve his overly nervous emotions, but he was not rational enough to do that.

Based on his understanding of Xia Qing, Yang Jin knew that he had a great chance of winning, so rationally he shouldn't panic like this, but his hands were shaking and sweating. He leaned back in his chair because he was afraid that Xia Qing's keen hearing ability would hear his crazy heartbeat.

After receiving Hu Zifeng's call, he rushed over immediately. Although he came in a hurry, he had already made sufficient preparations for this day. In the right pocket of his protective suit was a stack of points cards, with denominations ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions, and his backpack was full of Yi stones, which were all his personal assets and had nothing to do with the team. If the discount did not make Xia Qing interested, he would increase the price until she was interested.

Yang Jin took a slow, deep breath and reached out to press the ice pack in his left pocket to cool his body physically.

It was night time now, and the windows on the north and south sides of the conference room were open, with a breeze blowing through slowly. Xia Qing, who was sitting opposite him, was not sweating at all. If he had been sweating profusely, he would have been exposed.

Xia Qing lowered her eyes and stared at the honeysuckle in the teacup, which was absorbing water and slowly opening to reveal a complete flower. Her brain was working rapidly.

Half a minute later, Xia Qing looked up at Yang Jin, who was confident of winning, and asked, "Xie Yu has someone he likes, but you don't?"

Yang Jin pressed the ice pack tightly and replied calmly, "The world is too chaotic right now. I want to stabilize myself first and consider my personal problems after I have enough strength. Of course, if during our cooperation, Sister Qing has someone she likes and wants to make your relationship public, we can immediately terminate the agreement to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend."

On this point, Yang Jin's consideration is the same as his own.

Xia Qing made one last request, "My activities are mainly in the northern first district territory, and I am not responsible for blocking your flowers and plants in the safe zone."

Fireworks and firecrackers went off in Yang Jin's mind. "Sister Qing, don't worry about this. There are no flowers or plants around me. If someone comes to the territory to cause trouble for you in the name of flowers and plants, Sister Qing, just call me and I will solve it. But..."

When Xia Qing heard the stingy man change the subject, she knew it was a critical moment, and she straightened her back and waited for him to make his conditions.

"…If I have an urgent mission and Brother Luo can't get away, I hope Sister Qing can lend a hand. Don't ask for too much. I need to support more than 600 members of the Qinglong team, so I can't gather too many points."

Yang Jin had already sold her the weapons and bullets at half price, so it would be inappropriate for her to ask for a higher price. Xia Qing nodded, "The normal price is fine."

She is now a top sniper, and discounting is impossible.

Yang Jin, whose back was soaked, had stars in his eyes and a big smile on his face. "Okay, during our cooperation, Sister Qing will participate in the Qinglong team's mission at the normal price, and I will sell you weapons and bullets at half the price. We will play the role of a couple and become each other's shields. How will the points for this part of the mission be calculated?"

As expected of a miser, he calculated things very clearly. Xia Qing calmly replied, "If you don't need the other party to show up, you don't have to pay. If you do need the other party to show up, we can discuss it in detail later."

Yang Jin nodded, "Okay, then our cooperation is officially reached. Sister Qing, if you want to contact me next time, just call my private phone number. You know the number."

Xia Qing almost rolled her eyes. How would I know your private phone number?

Yang Jin picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, then filled Xia Qing's cup with a big smile. "On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year in February of the tenth year of the natural disaster, I used that number to send messages to your two mobile numbers, telling you which plots of land outside the safe zone have a higher safety factor. Thanks to Sister Qing for having her own ideas, we didn't miss Territory No. 3."

Xia Qing's face, which had been expressionless until now, showed an obvious dazed look. She took out her cell phone and directly dialed the number that had long been engraved in her mind.

Only when she saw Yang Jin showing her the lit screen did Xia Qing confirm that the strange number that sent her the message was really from Yang Jin!

At this moment, Xia Qing felt very complicated. "Later, I sent you a message, why didn't you reply?"

Yang Jin smiled bitterly, "I sent you a message to tell you about the territory because I wanted to do you a favor. When you grow up, I will use this to discuss cooperation with you. I didn't expect that unpolluted spring water was found in your territory. I didn't reply because I was afraid that you would think that I had bad intentions and wanted to annex your territory, so I concealed this matter. Later, I never found a chance to explain it clearly."

Xia Qing asked, "How did you know my number that I haven't used for many years?" (End of this chapter)
