"Brother Xiao, what do you think of my research direction, is it feasible?"

When mentioning experimental research, Zhao Qian's eyes shone with excitement, looking at Xiao Mu with a face full of anticipation.

Xiao Mu responded helplessly, "Brother Zhao's research direction is naturally feasible. But have you ever thought that our Great Tang Ruins currently do not really need these Mutated Plants capable of using Divine Techniques?"

"Not needed?"

Zhao Qian furrowed his brows, his expression immediately showing disappointment. Xiao Mu's words had struck him a blow.

A smile appeared on Xiao Mu's face, "Brother Zhao, do you know which fruit is most needed at our Great Tang Ruins right now?"

"Energy Fruits."

Zhao Qian responded quickly. As a researcher passionate about Mutated Plants, he was very aware of the situation at the Great Tang Ruins.

"That's it."

Xiao Mu's expression became serious, "Brother Zhao, as a strategic resource, our Great Tang Ruins have always been lacking in Energy Fruits. The lack not only results in slow strength improvement among the Mutants but also leads to slower recovery after battles due to the scarcity of Energy Fruits."

"This is the reason why our Great Tang has always been at a disadvantage in battles against the Life and Death Sect, with a high casualty rate."

"If we could have more Energy Fruits, we could change all this."

"Brother Zhao, why not research how to increase the production of Energy Fruits? If you succeed, it would not only be a great contribution to the entire Alliance, but I believe Brother Zhao's name might even spread throughout the human world and beyond."

"Brother Xiao makes a compelling point."

Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up. Xiao Mu's words had moved him, as for someone passionate about research, nothing mattered more than gaining recognition for his work.

"Brother Zhao, I am currently in charge of the Logistics Department and managing the Mutated Plant Planting Base. If you are interested in researching how to increase the production of Energy Fruits, I would like to hire you as a technical consultant for the Planting Base, specifically focused on increasing Energy Fruit production."

Xiao Mu seized the moment to extend the invitation to Zhao Qian.

"No wonder Brother Xiao suddenly showed up here; you were planning to poach me."

Zhao Qian gave Xiao Mu a knowing look, then smiled, "However, I accept. What in the world could be more fun than focusing on research?"

Xiao Mu was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to persuade Zhao Qian so easily and said immediately, "I will arrange for someone to prepare a laboratory at the Planting Base for Brother Zhao. If you are interested, you can go and check it out anytime."

"Also, during your research on Energy Fruits, if you need anything, you can directly ask me, and I will try my best to accommodate your needs."

"Rest assured, Brother Xiao, I will definitely not be polite."

Zhao Qian responded joyfully.

After leaving Zhao Qian's laboratory, Xiao Mu went to the Planting Base, especially arranging for staff to prepare a laboratory for Zhao Qian there.

Xiao Mu only intended to involve Zhao Qian in the research on increasing the yield of Energy Fruits. Naturally, he did not want to entrust the management of the Planting Base to him, fearing that with Zhao Qian's eccentricity, he might end up transforming the Planting Base into something else.

Having arranged the laboratory work at the Planting Base, Xiao Mu returned to the Logistics Department.

However, he had only been at the Logistics Department for a short while when he suddenly received a distress message from the Medical Group. Receiving the message, Xiao Mu immediately rushed to the Medical Group.

"Department Head Xiao, hello."

At the entrance of the Medical Group, a member of the Medical Group specifically waited for Xiao Mu and greeted him as soon as he saw him.

"What's the matter?"

As Xiao Mu asked the question, he took the opportunity to glance at this member of the Medical Group, a Mutant Being.

This Mutant Being had only reached the Peak of Mortal Realm in strength, and it was evident from a glance that he cultivated the Sacred Power.

The Sacred Power medic spoke, "A Mutant Being from the External Affairs Group is critically injured, and the injury is severe. The strength of the three Mutant Beings in our Medical Group who cultivate the Power of Life and Death is too low, and they cannot heal the injury for now."

"Since we know that Department Head Xiao also cultivates the Power of Life and Death, we sought your help. Our group leader is currently maintaining the victim's injuries with three Power of Life and Death medics, unable to come to welcome Department Head Xiao, please do not take offense."

"The patient's well-being is crucial, your group leader's actions are correct. Lead the way, let me see the victim."

Xiao Mu motioned the Sacred Power medic to lead the way.

"Yes, Department Head Xiao, please follow me."

The Sacred Power medic led Xiao Mu to the back, all the way to a courtyard.

This courtyard was evidently part of some Healing Array. Around the courtyard, various Healing Fruits and Energy Fruits were planted. Through the power of the Great Array, the energy was extracted directly from the Energy Fruits and Healing Fruits and injected into the body of the victim at the center of the Array, treating his injuries.

As Xiao Mu and the Sacred Power medic arrived, the leader of the Medical Group, Shen You, was maintaining the injuries of the victim in the center of the Great Array.

Group leader Shen You did not cultivate the Power of Life and Death; he was in charge of keeping the Healing Array running. The other three who cultivated the Power of Life and Death were taking turns injecting the Power of Life and Death into the victim's body, helping to repair the injuries.

But the victim's injuries were too severe—his head missing half, the trunk connecting his head and limbs also lacked a portion, and all the limbs were completely severed.
