Chapter 354: Chapter 215: Mutual Generation and Mutual Overcoming, a Smooth Breakthrough

"Chief, the livestock farm is still a little small," Xin Wan said, taking a sip of porridge. "The pigs, cows, and sheep just require too much space."

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly and replied, "Let’s wait for now. The Banyan Forest is still being expanded. If the number of pigs, cows, and sheep gets too high, we’ll just slaughter some of them!"

"I’m afraid we don’t have enough freezers to store all that meat!" Xin Wan said with a slight frown.

"Then we’ll eat it!" Ren Yuanyang said with a slight smile. "Let’s have a barbecue!"

’My successful breakthrough today is cause for a grand celebration!’

Xin Wan was slightly stunned, then nodded. She could see that Ren Yuanyang was genuinely happy today, so she didn’t spoil his mood by objecting.

Most importantly, Peach Blossom Base wasn’t short on meat in the slightest. Having a feast like this once in a while was no problem at all!

The poultry and livestock on the farm grew as fast as inflating balloons. A new batch would spring up right after one was consumed, growing even faster than weeds!

Jin Ziyu, who was eating breakfast at another table, heard this and immediately came over. "Chief, are we really having a barbecue?"

Ren Yuanyang smiled and nodded. "Yeah, let’s do it. I haven’t had a barbecue in a long time, either!"

"That’s great! Long live the Chief!" Jin Ziyu immediately cheered.

"Get some more people to help prepare the ingredients!" Ren Yuanyang continued to instruct.

"Okay, after lunch, I’ll call over all the chefs from the supply ship. With them and Si Youqin and the others, that should be enough!" Xin Wan nodded in agreement.

"Mm, and make sure you get Jin Ziyu to help," Ren Yuanyang reminded with a smile. "If she loves to eat this much, she can at least pitch in."

Jin Ziyu, standing nearby, immediately replied, "Rest assured, Chief! I will definitely assist Minister Xin with the barbecue preparations!"

"Chief, you have to wait for me for the barbecue tonight!" Qin Haonan said in a hurry, suddenly remembering he had a mission that afternoon.

"Don’t worry," Ren Yuanyang replied. "Even if we don’t wait, we’ll save you some!"

"No, it’s just not the same! Eating with everyone is part of the fun!" Qin Haonan pleaded. "Please wait for me. I’ll definitely hurry back as fast as I can!"

"You should be able to get back before six. It probably won’t have started by then," Xin Wan said with a smile. "So you don’t have to worry about missing it."

"That’s a relief!" Qin Haonan relaxed a little.

After breakfast, Ren Yuanyang carefully sensed his Mental Energy. Following his breakthrough that morning, he had cultivated for nearly half an hour, and his Mental Energy could now reach eleven meters!

’The system didn’t unlock any new enhancements with this breakthrough,’ Ren Yuanyang thought with some regret.

[Once Host’s Mental Energy breaks through one hundred meters, Mechanical Enhancement will be unlocked.]

Seeing the system’s prompt, Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. ’I still have to work hard on my Mental Energy!’

Before his Mental Energy surpassed ten meters, whenever Ren Yuanyang tried to enhance non-biological items, the system prompt was just three words: "Not yet unlocked."

Now that he had broken through ten meters, the system’s prompts had become more detailed.

’I need to raise my Mental Energy to a hundred meters as fast as possible. Then I can enhance ships within that range. At the very least, I can boost their speed to make trading more convenient!’ Ren Yuanyang thought to himself, then immediately entered a state of Cultivation.

Qin Haonan had no other work that morning, so he also returned to his room to continue his Cultivation.

On the outskirts of the Banyan Forest at Peach Blossom Base, James and his group were still picking fruit.

"Didn’t we just pick this tree clean yesterday? Today it’s full again. The speed at which it bears fruit is just shocking!"

Even though it wasn’t the first time he had seen such a miraculous sight, James was still amazed.

Des nodded. "Yeah, no wonder Peach Blossom Base doesn’t lack food. With this kind of technology, they can have as much food as they want!"

"Mmm, they’re not short on grain, but meat is a bit scarcer!" James smacked his lips.

"Didn’t we just have some the day before yesterday? Craving it again already?" Des asked with a smile.

"Aren’t you craving it too?" James shot him an annoyed look. "I’m a carnivore. I start craving meat if I miss it for even one meal!"

Des seemed to recall the meat from two days ago and subconsciously licked his lips. "Yeah, I am craving it a bit!"

However, he quickly shook his head. "I’ve discovered that humans are insatiable. The moment we can eat our fill, we start thinking about eating well!"

James was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded. "You’re right! Besides, we’re still captives. We should be content."

The work Peach Blossom Base assigned them was very light. Even when transporting fruit, they were told to carry small amounts in multiple trips so they wouldn’t get too exhausted to walk.

So they still had the energy to chat while they worked.

Soon, it was lunchtime. As James and his group walked into the supply ship’s dining hall, they overheard some Dragon Country People who had just finished eating.

"I heard they’re having a barbecue party tonight!"

"For real? With so many of us, it’ll be hard to get full just from a barbecue!"

"A barbecue isn’t just meat. There are all kinds of vegetables, too! If everyone roasts three or four potatoes and eggplants, are you still worried about not getting full?"

"No matter how you slice it, a barbecue uses up a lot of meat! This base is really willing to splurge!"

"The base’s crops grow so fast, there’s plenty of feed for the poultry and livestock. The base must have a lot of pigs, cows, and sheep, right?"

"Even if there are a lot, they still need time to grow up. They can’t possibly mature in a single day like the plants, can they!"

"Who’s to say?"

These were the Dragon Country People that Dawn Base had sold to Xi’an Base. They didn’t know about the growth rate of the animals at Peach Blossom Base.

James couldn’t help but swallow hard when he heard their discussion. He said to Des beside him, "Buddy, did you hear that? They’re having a barbecue tonight."

Des shrugged. "And? What’s that got to do with us?"

"Sigh, I’m so jealous of the members of Peach Blossom Base!" James lamented, looking at the two vegetable dishes on his tray and shaking his head helplessly.

After lunch, Qin Haonan led a team, piloting the ten speedboats from Dawn Base and racing toward it.

After arriving at Dawn Base, Qin Haonan immediately urged Long Zhan, "Captain Long, these ten speedboats are for you. Where are the empty ones?"

Long Zhan had never seen Qin Haonan in such a hurry before, so he asked with concern, "Did something happen at Peach Blossom Base? Why are you in such a rush to get back?"

"Nothing’s wrong. I’m just afraid I’ll miss the big feast tonight!" Qin Haonan waved his hand dismissively and replied.

"A big feast? What feast?" Long Zhan asked curiously.

"It’s nothing much, the Chief is just having us do a barbecue!" Qin Haonan explained simply, then boarded the ten empty speedboats with his men. After a quick word with Long Zhan, he departed!

"A barbecue? Isn’t that too extravagant!" Long Zhan watched the ten speedboats depart, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. ’When will I ever get to have a barbecue!’

After a moment of wistfulness, Long Zhan immediately set aside the herbs from two of the speedboats and had the rest sent to the Aircraft Carrier Base.

With the help of the herbs from Peach Blossom Base, the situation at Dawn Base had completely stabilized.

The survivors in the base knew they had a highly effective traditional medicine. Although the supply was limited, it was enough to handle the current situation.

Therefore, no one was panicked, and everyone was very cooperative with the base’s various policies.

Managing the base was now much easier for Long Zhan. He sent a message to Wang Jun: "Old Wang, we’ve sent over another eight speedboats full of herbs. When they arrive, just arrange for eight empty speedboats to come over."

"Got it!" Wang Jun replied with a nod. "It seems Peach Blossom Base has increased its production!"

"It’s definitely a bit more than before!" Long Zhan nodded, then continued, "Peach Blossom Base is having a barbecue for dinner tonight. When will *we* get to have a barbecue!"

Wang Jun was slightly stunned. "A barbecue? That really is extravagant!"

"When we saw Taoyuan Yang last time, didn’t he say they had technology for the rapid growth and reproduction of animals? Maybe for them, this isn’t considered a luxury!" Long Zhan shook his head.

"Yeah, it looks like we’ll have to rely on Peach Blossom Base if we want to have a barbecue too!" Wang Jun nodded. "We haven’t even dealt with this virus yet, so don’t get your hopes up!"

Long Zhan smiled. "We may not have dealt with it yet, but our situation has stabilized. With Peach Blossom Base providing a steady stream of herbs, eliminating this plague is only a matter of time!"

"That’s true. The cargo ship we arranged should arrive at Dawn Base tomorrow morning. You should contact them for the specific time, and let Peach Blossom Base know in advance too!" Wang Jun continued.

"Okay!" Long Zhan replied, ending the call.

He smacked his lips and sent a message directly to Ren Yuanyang: "Brother Yang, I hear your base is having a barbecue tonight?"
