After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower
Chapter 173 - 171 Reception

Chapter 173: Chapter 171 Reception

This time, the government office also sent people to learn potion making.

Ever since Li Pan had learned potion making, the government office had gained quite a bit more authority and had become much firmer in their stance. Even the noble families had no choice but to bow their heads and could no longer be arrogant and overbearing.

The noble families were unwilling to teach potion making, but Li Pan was willing to teach. When she had been promoted to Zhenhua Level, the government office had fully supported her without any slip-ups.

This time, they sent people to learn, and Li Pan didn’t ask for money. She let them learn for free, and she also set a very low price for the food potions sold to the government office. The only reason it couldn’t be free was that the cost of the materials had to be covered, otherwise this couldn’t be sustainable.

As long as the government office learned it, they could produce it together when they returned. Eventually, the blockade on potions would be broken step by step, and the prices would come down.

Yan Jiajia brought several Wood Power Users off the vehicle and arrived at the base.

Upon reaching the main entrance, they saw Li Pan craning her neck and peering around expectantly.

She happily ran over and hugged her, "Pan’er, I’ve missed you so much."

"Ouch! I’ve been waiting for you for so long, you’re finally here. Hello, everyone. It must have been a tough journey, hurry and come inside; I’ve been waiting for you."

Li Pan warmly hugged Yan Jiajia, turned around in a circle with her, and then greeted the other Wood Power Users with a smile.

"Hello, Master Li."

The other Wood Power Users, who included both middle-level and high-level, treated Li Pan with great respect.

"Don’t call me Master, it sounds so strange. We are about the same age, let’s not stand on ceremony. Just call me by my name."

"Call her Sister Pan’er."

Yan Jiajia gestured for everyone to call her sister, thus avoiding any disrespect to a Perfected.

"Hello, Sister Pan’er, we’re here to learn about potions from you."

"I’ve been waiting for you, come on in and have a seat in the house."

Li Pan enthusiastically pulled them inside by the hand.

The Base Commander also saw them and took the initiative to treat them to some food in the cafeteria. Dormitories were also arranged for them.

"Uncle Wang, the Wang Family asked me to bring you some things. Also, they said that that food potion is very useful and told you to bring more back. It’s extremely convenient for use when going out on missions or to war."

"Alright, I got it."

The Base Commander smiled and nodded.

Someone at the base was specifically assigned to receive the people sent by the government office.

Li Pan first took them to tour her own farm. This was necessary since they were sent by the government office; things worth showing had to be shown openly and transparently, to leave a good impression.

"This place is so beautiful; I want to live here."

Yan Jiajia held Li Pan’s hand and acted coquettishly.

"Of course, you’re welcome to stay if you like. I just need to speak to the Base Commander."

"I do like it here, thank you for accommodating us."

The others also responded with laughter.

Realizing that Li Pan was a sincere and unpretentious person, they felt more inclined to get close to her, and dared to speak more freely.

"Then stay, we have plenty of rooms."

"The crops you plant are different in each of the farms, right?"

"No. 9 Farm is the largest and has many types of pasture. Just the pastures alone, I have planted almost seven or eight types over the years, needing to change to new seeds every year. There’s also a milk powder and cheese processing plant. You know, milk powder is a very good strategic resource."

"Right, right."

"Sister Pan’er, managing such a big operation must have been tough initially. These past few days, we just managed to tour a few farms; it’s really too big."

People couldn’t help but marvel at Li Pan’s extraordinary capabilities and powerful strength.

"The first farm we cleared was No. 8 Farm. It was Xue Dong, Qin Jianzhong, and I who built it bit by bit. It feels like it was just yesterday; time has flown by so fast. I have the deepest emotional connection to No. 8, though No. 9 Farm is the most heartbreaking, spending a lot of money and even getting mixed up with some troubles from the rich district. I almost lost my mind, and had to rest for three months. It seems like the most difficult one was No. 9 Farm, both exhausting and heart-wrenching."

"Once you get through that, it becomes much easier. Afterward, things went much more smoothly with No. 4 Farm. Actually, it was also thanks to everyone’s concerted efforts to support me that we slowly got to where we are today."

Li Pan openly shared the development history of the farms, some of them being truly thrilling stories.

Everyone listened and couldn’t help but admire deeply.

"Come on, let me take you to see my precious Spirit Plants. I take care of them a hundred times more carefully than I do myself. Let me show you my treasures."

Li Pan proudly took them to see the Spirit Plant Area.

"This area here was the first Spirit Plant Area cultivated. Originally, it was a wooded area. I didn’t clear all the trees to plant crops because one, the slopes were too steep for it to be worth the effort in moving around, and two, I believe that trees stabilize the soil and improve the soil environment, so they shouldn’t be completely cut down."

"Later, two or three types of Spirit Plants survived here, and gradually it turned into a sizeable area. That’s it for this area; we can’t plant any more here. The rest I planted in the forest areas of No. 9 and No. 7 Farms and some less important ones in No. 4 Farm. I also contracted No. 6 Farm last spring. By doing so, this area exceeding ten thousand acres became all mine. No. 6 Farm is planned to be upgraded step by step entirely into a base for Spiritual Medicine, serving as a backup cultivation and experimental area for the farm’s medicine laboratory."

"Wow, you’re amazing, the more you work, the bigger it gets."

Yan Jiajia’s admiration-filled gaze made Li Pan quite proud.

"The base also recently took back two large farms, preparing to transform them into experimental bases for planting Spirit Plants, medicinal herbs, and spiritual wood among other vegetation, ready to become the major bases for the Agricultural Research Institute."

"You guys are doing even better than we are, moving faster too."

Several Wood Power Users couldn’t stop praising her. Feeling her optimism and opportunities, they really didn’t want to leave; it felt full of hope and endless possibilities. What a great place to work—no strife, no intrigue or backstabbing, allowing one to devote wholeheartedly to one’s dreams and to strive for them."

"I’m so envious of you all."

A female Wood Power User, reminded of something, couldn’t help her eyes welling up with tears.

"Don’t cry. Things will keep getting better. Look, we’re already making progress towards ensuring everyone has enough to eat. We used to have to eat mutant animals. Now we also have Food Potions available, so no more tightening our belts."

Everyone nodded vigorously. After visiting Panpan Farm, they were deeply impressed and fiercely motivated.

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to stay at Panpan Farm and learn from Li Pan how to make medicine and how to care for Spirit Plants, among other specific study plans.

The Base Commander readily agreed.

Li Pan did not keep any secrets and taught them personally each day on how to care for each Spirit Plant and Spirit Tree, each with its own characteristics and moods that needed to be fully accommodated, even calming their emotions, and learning to feel whether one’s Wood Element Fusion Factor was accepted by the Spirit Plants rather than forcibly inputting superpower, which would be rejected by the Spirit Plants.

Including in medicine making, she taught hands-on, not sparing any materials until they learned the medicine to a superior standard before she would rest.

The officials sent few, and they were truly talented people eager to learn, enthusiasts, cautious and thorough. Faced with Li Pan’s meticulous instructions, everyone was especially grateful, even burning the midnight oil to study and observe, with a competitive spirit among them, and none dared to slack off.
