My carefree life in space

Chapter 70 Desiring the Spirit Fruit

"Marshal Mo, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Ellison's excitement was clearly visible.

Mo Ze didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Ellison didn't mind that Moze's attitude wasn't very warm, and he directly stated his purpose.

"It is so. I believe His Majesty has already explained to you why I wish to see you. Now I sincerely ask you again, where did those pills and spiritual fruits come from?"

Mo Ze was not surprised by his directness; otherwise, he wouldn't have been here.

“I do know where the pills and spiritual fruits come from, but I have already told His Majesty this, and I will repeat it to you now: pills and spiritual fruits cannot be mass-produced.”

Hearing this, Ellison looked at Jin Hongyu, only to see him nod. Ellison's expression turned anxious. "Is there really no other way?"

Mo Ze nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ellison was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly came up with another solution.

"Could you help me make a connection? I'd like to buy some seedlings and see if I can cultivate them successfully. Don't worry, the price is negotiable."

Mo Ze noticed the expectation in Ellison's eyes, but he was destined to be disappointed. The things in the sparse space were no ordinary objects; they had absorbed the spiritual energy of the space year after year to achieve such an effect. If they were transplanted outside, even if they could survive, they would lose their original spiritual energy.

So he decisively refused, "I'm afraid that's not possible. As you've probably guessed, the reason why the spiritual fruit has such miraculous healing effects is because of its extraordinary origin. If it's transplanted to another place, it will lose its advantages."

"Could you introduce me to the owner of these pills and spiritual fruits? I'd like to speak with him in person," Ellison said, still unwilling to give up and trying his best to grasp at any glimmer of hope.

Not only Lin Shushu, but Mo Ze would not agree to this request. It wasn't that he was making the decision for Lin Shushu, but because he understood her, he knew she would definitely refuse decisively. And he himself didn't want Shushu to come out into the public eye so soon.

Before he could refuse, a servant came in to report, "Your Majesty, the ministers are requesting an audience outside the palace."

Upon hearing this, Jin Hongyu immediately understood. It seemed that he truly had no secrets. However, he wasn't angry; what could be exposed wasn't really a secret.

"Please let them in!"

The servant, having received instructions, went to lead the person in.

Meanwhile, Moze and Ellison, whose conversation had been interrupted, stopped talking and waited for the person who was about to enter.

Soon, a servant led a group of people in; it was a large, dark mass.

Looking at the hall that was almost full, Jin Hongyu said irritably, "You guys must have smelled the scent. Your information network is so good, and you all came together."

Although he expressed his displeasure, he didn't forget to ask the person to sit down.

Once the dense crowd had settled down, Jin Hongyu looked around and spoke again, "I suppose you all have the same goal. Who wants to speak first?"

Those who came in looked at each other, their eyes filled with the same eagerness, but none of them wanted to be the first to stick their neck out.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you just came to see me." Jin Hongyu couldn't stand seeing these people who clearly wanted something but didn't say anything.

Finally, Gu Zhenliang spoke up, "Your Majesty, it's just that I haven't seen Aze for a long time, and when I learned he was back, I came to see him as soon as possible."

After saying that, he looked at Mo Ze with a big smile on his face.

Mo Ze nodded slightly in response. This was the father of his deputy, Gu Rong. The two families had always been on good terms, and he had always treated this elder with respect.

"And what about you guys?" Jin Hongyu asked, looking at the others.

"We haven't seen Marshal Mo for a long time either. We were worried about him for a long time after his accident. Now that we know he's back safely, we've come to see him."

The speaker was Finance Minister Rong Xian, who looked at Mo Ze with a smile, as if to confirm the truth of his words.

“Yes, I was also worried about Marshal Mo. Marshal Mo is a young commander-in-chief, and his safe return is a cause for celebration. Of course we have to come and see him,” Commerce Minister Lan Li echoed.

Others echoed this sentiment, stating that they had come specifically to see Mo Ze.

"Since that's the case, and you've seen the person, then go back. Aze and I still have things to discuss." Jin Hongyu looked at the group of people with a half-smile.

Mo Ze sat quietly to the side without saying a word. Let them say whatever they wanted. Since they came to see him, they should leave after they had finished.

The crowd choked, thinking, "There's no need to rush to send them away. They haven't achieved their goal yet, so why would they want to leave?"

Seeing this, Xiao Xing, Xiao Qin's father and the head of the Xiao family, had no choice but to speak up, "Our main purpose in coming here this time is, of course, to see Aze. Secondly, we want to ask him if he still has the spiritual fruit he sent back last time."

Xiao Xing is also the Empress's brother, so even Jin Hongyu has to give him some face.

Seeing his response, Jin Hongyu didn't say anything more, but simply turned his gaze to Mo Ze, implying that he should handle his own affairs.

Upon hearing Xiao Xing's words, the others also looked intently at Mo Ze, hoping he would say something that would satisfy them.

Mo Ze was helpless; this situation was also the main reason why he didn't want Lin Shushu to come back with him.

Seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, he said the same thing for the third time today, "The number of spirit fruits is limited. If you elders want any, you can only check the StarNet store. If they have any, they will be available."

Following Mo Ze's lead, Lan Li spoke up first, "Aze, we also know that the StarNet store sells them, but the quantity is too small and the listing date is uncertain, so we came to ask you!"

The change from "Marshal Mo" to "Aze" makes the meaning clear: since we are the elders, please give us some preferential treatment.

"Yes, every time StarNet goes on sale, it sells out very quickly. We haven't been able to buy it in a long time."

Seeing this, the others echoed the sentiment, all wanting to use their connections with Mo Ze to buy directly.

"I don't need much, just 100 a month is fine, any kind of fruit, and the price will be the same as the StarNet price." Rong Xian seemed to have low expectations.

"Give me 100 too."

"I want one too, name your price."

"I'll just need 50, that shouldn't be a problem!"

……

Everyone chimed in, each raising their own demands.

Mo Ze watched them talk quietly, neither refuting nor nodding. Only after everyone quieted down did he slowly speak.

"As I said, the number of spirit fruits is limited, and it's impossible for everyone to have them. It's precisely because they are difficult to distribute that they are put on the Star Network for sale. Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate to sell them to any of the elders present here."

Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious. They had come all this way precisely to take advantage of the situation. If they could only buy it on the StarNet, then why had they bothered to say so much?
