Chapter 731: Staying Here for Half a Lifetime (3)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Chao’s face. “Dean Yi, if there were a technology that could transform deserts into fertile soil, wouldn’t it be possible to rapidly reverse desertification?”

Dean Yi was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure. “If such a technology truly existed, under the right conditions, it could indeed turn deserts into arable land within two to three years at most. However, that’s impossible. Based on our current scientific research and technology, it would take at least several decades to achieve.”

With a mischievous grin at Dean Yi’s response, Zhou Chao teased, “But what if I had such technology right now?”

“Absolutely impossible!” Dean Yi stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief!

Seeing Zhou Chao’s confident demeanor, Dean Yi’s skepticism wavered slightly. Although he kept telling himself that such technology was currently impossible, a part of him hoped it was true.

“If it’s not true, I wouldn’t have traveled all the way from Modu to Hohhot, right, Dean Yi?”

“Is it really true?” Dean Yi became somewhat nervous, his eyes fixed on Zhou Chao.

“Of course it’s true!” System-produced, it must be top-notch. Although Zhou Chao hadn’t tested it yet, he was confident there wouldn’t be any issues.

“May I take a look?” Dean Yi felt a bit embarrassed after saying this. He knew the potential impact would be enormous if this technology were real.

“Not for now, Dean Yi. You understand the importance of this technology, so…”

Zhou Chao trailed off, and Dean Yi nodded in understanding. He knew Zhou Chao wouldn’t hand over the technology so easily, especially since it was their first meeting.

Just as Dean Yi was about to inquire about how they could collaborate, there was a knock on the door.

Dean Yi frowned slightly but still said, “Come in!”

The next moment, a middle-aged man walked in with a courteous smile, carrying two gift bags. However, when he saw Zhou Chao sitting on the sofa, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

“Dean Yi, hope I’m not interrupting anything!” The middle-aged man said with a smile.

“Why are you here again? I’ve already told you clearly that I won’t collaborate with you. Please leave my office!” Dean Yi looked somewhat annoyed at the middle-aged man.

Ignoring Dean Yi’s anger, the middle-aged man continued with a smile, “Dean Yi, I can add more money! How about 800,000?”

“I’ve said I won’t sell it. Even if I starve to death, I won’t collaborate with you!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s expression turned particularly ugly. With a snort, he turned and left. However, at that moment, he shot a sharp glance at Zhou Chao.

“Sorry, Mr. Zhou, for the disturbance.”

“Dean Yi, who was that just now?” Zhou Chao asked curiously.

Hearing this, Dean Yi sighed deeply. “That was Wei Zifeng, the owner of Bright Wood Industry. He’s been here several times, wanting to buy a patent from me about fast tree growth.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao felt puzzled.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s confusion, Dean Yi continued, “This technology has a major flaw—it exchanges fast tree growth for permanent damage to the land!”

Zhou Chao instantly understood. He also understood why Dean Yi wouldn’t sell this patent. freewёbnoνel.com

“Let’s not dwell on him. Let’s continue our previous discussion!”
