After listening to Meng Xingchen's explanation, Lin Yao nodded in understanding and casually handed him the Wormhole Exchange Device.
"This is called the Wormhole Exchange Device. I traded for it with Su Rui. I can't really make use of it myself, so you take it and use it," she said.
Lin Yao briefly recounted the uses and operating methods of the Wormhole Exchange Device as described by Su Rui.
Meng Xingchen was left dumbfounded after hearing this. Such a coveted item, and she wanted him to use it?
"You know more people; you should decide who it's suitable for," he replied, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Moreover, after Su Rui left, if Meng Xingchen wanted to continue studying at the First Research Institute, he needed to contribute something to justify his presence there.
He wasn't foolish; he understood that Lin Yao was trying to give him credit for something. The only person among his acquaintances who had the highest status and was most suitable to handle the Wormhole Exchange Device was Academician Zheng.
Lin Yao also knew Academician Zheng; there was no need for her to insist that he be the one to use it.
"No, I can't take your credit," he insisted.
"Credit is only credit when it's needed; otherwise, it's just waste. I’m not doing research, so what do I need credit for?"
"Boss, I—"
"Alright, just go ahead and use it. Remember to mention to Academician Zheng that the black material is Star Beast Treasure. Wearing it long-term can purify mental energy and can also be used as a primary ingredient for potions to create mental sea expansion potions."
After Lin Yao finished speaking, she waved her hand and left.
With Su Rui gone, Bai Zhenzhen had been preparing for her online store and was ready to open it.
Thinking about their small team of four, with three already joining her shop, she decided not to exclude Meng Xingchen and called everyone together for a meeting.
"After all, we used to be a team and now we live together. The captain and Zhang Feng have joined my shop, so I won’t leave you out either. I just want to ask if you’d like to invest in my online store."
As soon as Bai Zhenzhen finished speaking, Meng Xingchen became anxious. "What do you mean 'used to be'? We can always form a team!"
She shot him an exasperated look. "You three are from the same school, so you can keep teaming up easily. But I'm not from your school; what are you going to do when midterms or finals come around? Are you going to take my exams for me?"
Those who passed their practical exams could directly apply to special schools afterward. Intermediate schools were meant to lay the foundation for their respective fields, so they were divided by department but not by major.
Zhang Feng applied for the Combat Department of the First Intermediate Institute, while Meng Xingchen chose his desired Mechanical Engineering Department.
Lin Yao had just received Su Rui's biological mech and was eager to develop into a mech combat specialty.
In the First Military Academy, the strongest in the Mecha Combat major was just like Zhang Feng; she chose the Combat Department of the First Middle Institute. Bai Zhenzhen wanted to pursue a career as an Apothecary, and since she was the best in energy potions at the Ability Academy, she insisted on selecting the Ability Middle Institute to ensure a direct advancement to the Ability Academy in the future.
"I'm not saying that," Meng Xingchen's voice grew softer.
"If that's not what you mean, then don't interrupt. Just listen to me," Bai Zhenzhen retorted before continuing, "Zhang Feng, here's my plan for you. We can set up custom orders in the store for people to order energy food. The team leader will provide you with energy fuel and water, and you'll be responsible for production. The income from the store will be split three to seven between you and your team leader. As for how you two divide it, I won't interfere."
Zhang Feng looked at Bai Zhenzhen and then at Lin Yao, unsure of what to say.
Lin Yao pondered for a moment and said, "What Zhenzhen is proposing is reasonable. After all, you're currently the only one in the Yunmeng galaxy who can make energy food. As for how we split it, let’s go with three to seven as well. You take seven, I take three."
"No way. Team leader, don’t hide anything from me; the energy food still relies on energy fuel and water, right?" Zhang Feng said with an expression that indicated he understood everything.
Lin Yao shrugged her shoulders and said casually, "This is something we've never tried before. Besides, we can't trust others. Just tell me if you're in or not."
"Team leader, I'm in, but the split can't be calculated like that."
"Alright then, earning money through your own skills is nothing to feel guilty about." Lin Yao made a decisive statement.
"Then it's settled; this is how we'll split the energy food profits." Bai Zhenzhen added that Zhang Feng would also have a stake in the online store as a technical partner, leaving no room for him to refuse.
"Now let's talk about your share in this venture. The team leader provided me with a potion formula, and I've gotten each one certified. The potion ingredients are cheap and effective; targeting the lower-end market will definitely allow our store to thrive. So I've decided to give the team leader a stake!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yao didn't rush to refuse like Zhang Feng had; instead, she calmly asked, "A stake? Are you sure you won't end up losing out?"
"I won’t. I estimate that because of your potion formula, we’ll make a huge profit!" Bai Zhenzhen replied confidently.
"In that case... Once your store develops further, I'll give you another batch of potion formulas to keep your business thriving!" With her confidence in Bai Zhenzhen's abilities, Lin Yao was supportive.
"Ah, thank you for your kind words, Team Leader!" Bai Zhenzhen smiled brightly.
Meng Xingchen listened for a while but felt disconnected from their discussions about the store and grew somewhat impatient. "You all have your talents; what about me? I can't do anything—why did you bring me here?"
"You may not be able to do much yourself, but you have connections!" Bai Zhenzhen replied with a hint of sarcasm.
"Huh?" Meng Xingchen was confused.
"With so many people in Meng Pharmaceuticals, there must be one or two who aren't doing well. Find me a few capable individuals who are willing to switch jobs and come help me run the store. I'll count it as you bringing in talent and give you a stake."
"You could probably recruit them yourself from outside," Meng Xingchen said skeptically.
"Why would I go through all that trouble when I can use talented individuals nurtured by Meng Pharmaceuticals? Enough chit-chat; just tell me if you're going to help or not."
"You don't need to give me shares; I can find someone else," she said, her tone laced with a hint of sarcasm.
Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel envious of Meng Xingchen's background. The Meng family was said to be the richest in Yunmeng Star, but what did that really mean? It was just a title that didn't distinguish them from being the richest in the entire Yunmeng system.
With such resources, there was nothing they couldn't achieve. Unfortunately, Meng Xingchen lacked any business acumen. Whenever he spoke, he was so clueless that Bai Zhenzhen often felt the urge to retort.
"My shop is completely empty; if you don’t have shares, why would anyone want to come here?" she continued, rolling her eyes.
"Alright, I get it," he replied, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"As for me, I invested thirty million and put a lot of effort into preparing this shop, so I allocated shares for myself. The rest will be set aside for when we need to reward talented individuals," she explained confidently.
Bai Zhenzhen had even planned for talent shares, which showed her unwavering confidence. Lin Yao didn’t mind contributing a bit more either.
