Bigger Troubles

Ye Mo recently listed a large quantity of fruits, thanks to a bountiful harvest from her spatial space. The black soil farming area, though like something out of a game, produced vast amounts of fruits in a short time. She expected the stock to last, but to her surprise, everything sold out in just five seconds, leaving some buyers with just a single piece.

Looking at her account, Ye Mo felt overwhelmed. Fortunately, her mother had left her a secret account; otherwise, the sudden influx of wealth under her name would have exposed her identity instantly. Currently, she was only selling apples from the Level 5 fruits and had stopped growing or selling other types.

Nanny robots tended to her space, which gave Ye Mo peace of mind. Lately, she had been considering buying a couple of medical robots since she was pregnant. What if she had to give birth outdoors? Gently touching her slightly protruding belly, Ye Mo could only see a glowing light inside—her baby wasn’t letting her see clearly. When she touched her belly, the light inside responded with a light bounce.

“Hey, little one, can you hear mommy?” Ye Mo asked, delighted when the light bounced again.

“Wow, are you saying hi? How about mommy reads you a story?” She took out a book and started reading ghost stories for the baby’s “prenatal education,” typical for a ghost cultivator.

Meanwhile, the introduction of Level 5 fruits stirred chaos across the Star Network. These fruits, capable of boosting health levels by ten points, effectively revived those on the brink of death. Military leaders, government officials, and powerful families with members suffering from genetic collapse found hope in these fruits, and their impact was profound.

Realizing the significance of these fruits, powerful figures tried to monopolize the source, targeting Kamo Star and the mysterious transcendent plant master. If they couldn’t control the master, they at least hoped to ally with him. However, all attempts to infiltrate District 8 were blocked by General Mo, who was fiercely protecting the master.

At the same time, Yu Fengqi and his family were taken away by Prince Caser’s men, a move that General Mo welcomed. With them gone, General Mo felt the remaining threats to Ye Mo had significantly lessened. To General Mo, both Ye Mo and the transcendent plant master were his top priorities, and he was determined to keep them safe.

General Mo’s protective stance, however, irked the once-powerful figures, who began plotting to have Ye Mo relocated from District 8. Despite their resentment, no one dared openly challenge General Mo, whose formidable combat skills made him untouchable. General Mo’s health had also improved dramatically due to the Level 5, 6, 7, 8 and Level 9 fruits he received from Ye Mo, boosting his health from 15% to 45%.

Though General Mo had benefited personally, he distributed the fruits among his low-health military personnel, but it was still not enough to cover everyone. He started contemplating a private deal with Ye Mo: acquiring more fruits below Level 6 in exchange for military-grade equipment like advanced aircraft—worth a fortune. Of course, the military department of District 8 has a lot of star coins, it would still be a bit difficult to use them to buy fruits so military-grade equipment in exchange would be worth it.

But General Mo had the idea but he just couldn’t contact Ye Mo.

At the moment, Grandma Yu and Aunt Yu were also paying attention to the level 5 fruits. After all, they were two people who had done the complete level 5 fruit experiment.

Now, nearly 100,000 level 5 fruits have been sold, plus other fruits sold previously, and nearly 1 million people in the entire interstellar have benefited from it.

General Mo anxiously tries to contact Ye Mo. But Ye Mo was in the space now, so no matter what the news was, it couldn’t disturb her.

Yet contacting Ye Mo through her store was too inconvenient.

At this time, General Mo was already considering whether he should send the master an anonymous watch to contact them at any time.

General Mo thought so and did it. He immediately asked his subordinates to prepare an anonymous watch and sent it directly

So, when Ye Mo came out, she received the watch. She saw that the sender was General Mo and immediately used the watch to contact him. General Mo quickly proposed his deal as soon he received Ye Mo’s call. “Master, can we make a private arrangement?” General Mo eagerly asked.

“What kind of arrangement?” Ye Mo inquired.

“We need more fruits, nothing above Level 5, for Area 8’s military use. In return, we can offer advanced military aircraft, and even battleships if you’d like.”

Mo’s offer excited Ye Mo, especially the prospect of acquiring advanced aircraft. These aircraft could dodge enemy attacks automatically and launch counterattacks, with technology exclusive to the military. Even non-combat versions of such aircraft cost tens of billions, a price Ye Mo couldn’t easily pay—but a trade was a different story.
