The Japanese pirate looked at Wei Ruo with a surprised expression, indicating that they were seriously considering the possibility of Wei Ruo’s words.

After thinking for a while, the Japanese pirate continued to ask in broken Chinese, “What can you do for us?”

“I am a person who is proficient in agriculture. I have mastered many agricultural techniques that can change the nature of the land and increase food production.”

Wei Ruo knew about the situation in Japan, it was a poor island country, underdeveloped agriculture, and very limited land for cultivation.

She also knew some Japanese customs and how to solve their pain points.

“Can you grow more food?”

“Yes, I can grow more food. Whether it’s barren land, salty land on the coast or steep mountains, I can find a way. Once successful, I can feed more people in your country.”

In this case, Wei Ruo just drew an example. The improvements that could be made to the land were still limited. In some places, the cost of improvement or maintenance was too high, to the point that it was useless to improve the land.

“How do I know you’re not lying?” the Japanese pirate asked.

“The method of improving land in the south of the city that you saw is my idea. You have been wandering on the east coast for sometime now, and you should know that this place used to be barren. If I can improve this place well, I can also help your country cultivate your land successfully.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Wei Qingruo, what are you doing? Why are you telling them? Are you going to help them grow food so that they can eat and drink enough to attack us? They are Japanese pirates, robbers, and murderous bastards!” Wei Yilin cursed.

Wei Ruo rolled her eyes at Wei Yilin. Did he think that she did not know about it? She also hated and detested these Japanese invaders, but she had to look at their current situation first, right?

It’s never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge in 10 years*! She needs to save her own life before she can find a way to deal with these people.

*It’s never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge in 10 years: If you don’t have the ability to take revenge at that time, just wait until you have the ability.

If she dies now, everything will be pointless.

Now that the Wei family was looking for them all over the city and Meimei was nearby, she still had a chance to escape.

And what she needs to do is to ensure that she won’t be harmed before they find her.

Wei Ruo ignored Wei Yilin and continued to smile at the pirates, “Don’t worry about this little brat, he’s muddled.”

“He said he was Colonel Wei’s son, and he called you, sister. Which means, you are Colonel Wei’s daughter.” Although the Japanese pirates were not proficient in Chinese, they were still able to know this much.

“Yes, I am the daughter of Colonel Wei, but I am now in your hands. I want to live, so I am willing to offer my value to win a mutually beneficial outcome for both of us. It has nothing to do with my identity.” Wei Ruo said deceitfully.

After listening to Wei Ruo’s words, the Japanese pirate did not immediately answer, but retreated outside the cave to discuss with another pirate.

While the two pirates were muttering and discussing something, Wei Yilin questioned Wei Ruo, “Wei Qingruo, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? To live, can’t you see?”

“What you’re doing is shameless!”

“Wei Yilin, can’t you differentiate what’s called shameless and what’s called foolish?”

“You are betraying the country and the lives of countless soldiers. You… you are ungrateful!” Wei Yilin thought for a while before thinking of the word “ungrateful” to curse Wei Ruo.

“Whom did I betray? Which life did I harm? On the other hand, it’s you who started this and dragged me with you. You’re the one who got me killed!”

“You!” Wei Yilin was once again at a loss for words.
