The door opens.

He Yujia was sitting in a dark room. There was only an orange lamp on the table, and the residual light illuminated the long black vine-like curtains beside the window behind him.

Hearing the sound, He Yujia moved his fingers slightly, closed the folder in his hand, raised his head and looked at the person coming with a smile.

"Ms. Lin, you are here."

Lin Miao was invited into the office alone, while Cheng Mingzhu and Cao Dapao could only wait outside.

What does it mean?

Seeing He Yujia's mysterious smile, Lin Miao had some doubts in her heart. Her body sitting on the sofa was slightly tense and a little defensive.

Lin Miao still looked calm on the surface, but He Yujia, who had a strong sense of perception, had obviously sensed Lin Miao's nervousness, and quickly gave a comforting smile, "Miss Lin, don't be nervous, don't worry, He will only come to you for nothing."

It will be beneficial to Miss Lin and will not ask for any compensation."

As he said that, He Yujia took out a jade box from the drawer. There was a warm white light around the box, which seemed to bring a touch of coolness to the dull room.

It turned out to be a grass that had just been picked less than a day ago.

Lin Miao's pupils shrank, her eyes were glued to the box uncontrollably, and her heart was burning.

Put it this way...

"Miss Lin, this is one of the five grasses we have in Qingcheng. Now, it is yours." He Yujia pushed the box towards Lin Miao without any hesitation, feeling the warmth of Lin Miao's passing.

He squinted his eyes with the strong desire.

Sure enough, Lin Miao doesn't have any special abilities yet, or in other words, the ability to protect himself.

It seems that this gift I gave is absolutely right.

Lin Miao clenched his fists and with difficulty turned his eyes away from the jade box. His eyelashes trembled slightly and he looked at He Yujia with a smile, "Your Majesty, City Lord, I don't get reward for my merits. I don't think I'm worthy of the Lord's gift."

What a great gift.”

"Oh?" He Yujia crossed his long legs and chuckled, "Miss Lin is the leader of the planting base research center. As Professor Chen's important right-hand man, she is also an outstanding talent among the new generation in Qingcheng.

Isn't it just right for you to take this tuotuo grass? What's more, you don't have to think that this is a gift from me personally. I have reported it to the central government a long time ago and took the right path."

Emphasizing the word "legitimate", He Yujia raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Miao, who seemed to suddenly realize.

The demo, you have to accept it now, right?

"I understand." Lin Miao nodded. No wonder he just revealed part of his identity in front of everyone. It turned out that it was to make it more legitimate for him to get the Tuo Tuo grass, but...

"Lord City Lord." Lin Miao looked directly at He Yujia without hesitation, "If I choose to accept this tuotuo grass, will the Lord City Lord ask me to do anything else."

Before He Yujia could answer, Lin Miao slowly sat up straight and said, "What I want to say is that I will never join any organization, including my companions. This is also my bottom line. We will never serve anyone."

"Of course it's no problem. I won't ask you to pay anything. If you really feel bad about it, Miss Lin, I heard that your cooking skills are good, why don't you treat me to a meal." He Yujia squinted and smiled, his body relaxed.

He sank into the seat and looked extremely lazy.

Sensing Lin Miao's relieved mood, He Yujia's smile deepened.

It seems that there is really no need for oil and salt.

"Then it depends on when the city lord is free and comes to the humble residence."

Lin Miao felt relieved for the time being, accepted the jade box with a smile, and put it properly into her bag.

Although this old fox is very shrewd, one thing I have to admit is that he is extremely loyal to his promises, and he will never take back his promises easily.

It's true that I can't help much at the moment. Maybe it's just a reward for cultivating special soil?

In this case, she could only accept it with peace of mind.

Beijing time: May 3, 2211

There are no contraindications for taking Tuo Tuo Cao, but Lin Miao still chose to take it on an empty stomach in the morning.

It has to be said that the preservation function of space is indeed excellent. Tuotuo grass can maintain its freshly picked status in the space. Therefore, just after being taken out of the space, this Tuotuo grass is still fresh, and its round leaves are even cheerful.

's shaken.

Lin Miao stuffed the lump of grass into his mouth, took a big gulp of water and swallowed it hard.

That's right, the simplest way to take Tuotuo grass is to swallow it. You don't need to worry about anything, just swallow it and it's done.

Lin Miao also took the famous Tuo Tuo grass for the first time. After eating it, he felt a cool breath sliding down his esophagus and gradually reaching his stomach...

Why is there no response at all?

Cheng Mingzhu and Cao Dapao, who were waiting aside, had bright eyes.

"How about it!"

Lin Miao frowned and simply walked to the room.

"I'm going to take a nap first and see what happens when I wake up."

——

"More than ten days have passed since I presented the tuotuo grass to Miss Lin... Ziqi, has Miss Lin been acting strangely recently?"

Xiao Ziqi sat upright in his seat, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It's the same as usual. My sister said that Miss Lin lived a fulfilling life every day, and she even shared her daily diet with her."

He Yujia frowned slightly and tapped the table with his slender fingers gently and rhythmically.

How could this be?

The results from the research center also came out, Tuotuo grass can only survive for three days, and he also warned Lin Miao.

Doesn't she have any talent in this area?

"Brother Yujia, brother Yujia!"

"Huh?" He Yujia came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Ziqi in front of him, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ziqi raised his chin a little worriedly, and when he turned his palm, a small water ball condensed and floated happily in Xiao Ziqi's palm, spinning around.

"If my dad knew about my abilities and just let me go, he would be furious."

That's right, one of the five tuotuo grasses Qingcheng received was naturally given to Xiao Ziqi.

Nowadays, relevant information about ability users only flows among high-level officials. Common people still know nothing about it and worry about eating and drinking every day.

A few months ago, Xiao Ziqi might have been happy that he had awakened his water ability, but after learning about the global heavy rain in two months, he couldn't be happier anymore.

Do you want water?

Everywhere!

Who would care about the little water he released?

Xiao Ziqi wanted to cry but had no tears.

…

"Still, don't you feel anything?"

Cheng Mingzhu looked worriedly at Lin Miao, who had been in poor condition since waking up.

Lin Miao sat at the table with a book spread out in his hand, but he couldn't read it.

Is it really like in the previous life, that no matter how hard I try, I can't awaken my abilities?

"Who said that? I feel like my eldest brother looks much better when he wakes up. He looks so friendly!" Cao Dapao said confidently.

Cheng Mingzhu quickly rolled her eyes at Cao Dapao, "It's funny, how can we, Miaomiao, not be beautiful? How can we not be kind?"
