The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 94: Looking for Trouble

The frantic Xu Ying saw everyone inside the room staring blankly and quickly repeated several times, "Containers, I need storage containers!"

Jiang Haiyang snapped back to reality, his hands trembling with excitement as he searched for reserve containers from his accompanying equipment.

Great, Station Chief Xu was able to find seven West Mountain Snow Lotuses in such a short time; his graduation was in sight!

He carefully collected the snow lotuses held in the mouths of the Snow Cleaning Weasels and placed them into the containers.

The Snow Cleaning Weasels, seeing the exaggerated reactions of the three humans inside the room as if they had never seen the world, couldn’t help but mock.

[Wow, sister, their reaction is too exaggerated, aren’t they just seven big white flowers?]

[They haven’t seen the world at all. If we took them to the Snow Lotus Valley we visited before, wouldn’t they faint on the spot?]

"Snow Lotus Valley?"

Xu Ying’s eyes widened when hearing these three words, unable to imagine a valley full of snow lotuses; it could be described as ground paved with gold.

"There’s a Snow Lotus Valley? Where is it?"

[The location of the Snow Lotus Valley is hard to find, and the entrance is only as big as a fist-sized rock, only we small animals can get in.]

[Station Chief sister, if you want, we will pick all the flowers and bring them to you~]

Seeing hope, Professor Ye’s mood visibly brightened, changing drastically from the previously gloomy demeanor. He advised Jiang Haiyang, "Be careful, kid, don’t break the containers."

"Don’t worry, sir, I still want to graduate!"

After Jiang Haiyang preserved the seven snow lotuses, he couldn’t help but ask, "Station Chief Xu, how did you find 7 snow lotuses in such a short time?"

Xu Ying pointed at the little ice pops surrounding her, "These little guys said they wanted to give me a thank you gift, and they asked the Snow Pigeons to pick them off the cliff." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"I remember now!"

Jiang Haiyang slapped his forehead, "I heard from my junior that there is a rescue worker in the Desert Rescue Zone who can understand what small animals say, is that you?"

Xu Ying sheepishly touched her head, realizing her reputation had become so well-known.

"It’s me."

Professor Ye now spoke to Xu Ying with a very kind and amiable tone, almost treating her like a granddaughter: "Little Xu Station Chief, I’ve already asked Little Jiang to take photos of these seven snow lotuses for the records. Afterward, provide Little Jiang with your bank account number, the commission will be transferred to your account next week."

Xu Ying hurriedly waved her hands, "These flowers aren’t something I found; I just went with the flow to bring them over."

Professor Ye chuckled and shook his head, "It’s fine, you have no idea how much you’ve helped us. We wouldn’t feel at ease if you didn’t accept it. We promised the reward and it will definitely be delivered."

"In the future, we might trouble you more, you might as well consider it as an extra part-time job, otherwise, we’ll feel guilty."

Xu Ying no longer declined and instead asked, "Professor Ye, how many West Mountain Snow Lotuses do you need?"

Professor Ye sighed, "The current experiment needs five hundred snow lotuses, and in the future, we’ll likely need to reserve thousands more."

"We lost two thousand and thirty-two West Mountain Snow Lotuses this time."

Xu Ying gasped, "So many?!"

Professor Ye couldn’t help getting angry when mentioning this matter, "This must have been a premeditated crime involving a gang, otherwise it wouldn’t have been done so neatly and left no trace, they must have been eyeing this batch of snow lotuses for a while, just waiting for the opportunity."

"For such paltry gains, they directly destroyed a scientific research project of immeasurable value, these people’s vision is indeed shortsighted."

Jiang Haiyang angrily slammed the table, these robbers are really holding people back!

Qin Yan, hearing their discussion, sighed, "After all, it’s not their stuff, they only care about their immediate benefit."

The poachers are like that, as are the thieves, both foolish and greedy.

Xu Ying recalled Jiang Haiyang mentioned the research needed fresh snow lotuses, "The blizzard happened eleven days ago, and the time those people picked the snow lotuses wasn’t over half a month ago; if they know how to preserve them, you might still be able to use the stolen batch for your research project."

Jiang Haiyang nodded, his face solemn, "Now, besides harvesting the existing snow lotuses on the mountain, the most important thing is to catch these thieves quickly."

"We have already reported to the police, asking them to watch for any recent mass sales of snow lotuses."

"But the hope is slim."

Qin Yan added, "These sea pirates are very clever, besides selling in chunks, they will wait a bit for the fuss to die down before selling the stolen goods."

"For now, they’re likely avoiding attention."

"Perhaps by the time they sell, the snow lotuses will have dried into dry flowers."

The management room fell into silence.

Professor Ye couldn’t help but treasure the snow lotuses inside the container, cherishingly caressing the container’s glass.

Suddenly, he pushed his glasses and noticed the snow lotuses’ cuttings.

"These little animals are quite professional, how do they know to cut the snow lotuses from the stem?"

Xu Ying was also surprised by these words and immediately turned to ask the Snow Whites, "Darlings, these flowers were picked by the Snow Pigeons, right? How did the Snow Pigeons know to cut the snow lotuses from the stems? So particular!"

The Snow Cleaning Weasel stood upright: [The Snow Pigeon aunties said a group of people on the mountain harvested snow lotuses this way, saying this keeps the stem, and another abundant harvest would come in three to five years.]

Xu Ying sensed a potential clue and promptly pursued, "When did those people arrive?"

[That has to be asked to the Snow Pigeon aunties, I’ll call them~]

Eager to help their lifesaver, the little creatures enthusiastically fetched a flock of snow pigeons quickly.

[It was right after the big blizzard ended, suddenly a group of people came, about twenty or so, each carrying a large backpack, they didn’t sleep, tirelessly looking for snow lotuses in the snow mountain, they seemed to know exactly where the snow lotuses were, finding them with pinpoint accuracy.]

[They also said these things could sell for a good price overseas.]

Xu Ying: "Then which direction did they go down the mountain?"

[To know that, small animals need to be asked along the way, we didn’t pay so much attention.]

Xu Ying: "Does anyone clearly remember the appearance features of any of those twenty people?"

The snow pigeons pondered for a while, and two pigeons flapped their wings, cooing: [I remember one of them being particularly short, about the same height as Station Chief Xu, but he was very agile, even dared to pick snow lotuses on the edge of a cliff, very daring, giving us a fright when we passed.]

Xu Ying felt like crying when hearing the words "particularly short" being associated with herself.

[He also had a friend who had a big, thick mouth, and seeing us coo he even wanted to catch us to make pigeon soup, scaring us so much that we didn’t dare approach them.]
