Xie Sen thought of the time when he had to carry his luggage into his dorm room in university. He was so happy!
MeiIn contacted the landlord and checked out. After the procedures were completed, the four of them went to their new place.
It took a lot of time to tidy up the house. Fortunately, MeiIn and Long Teng were strong enough to put the furniture wherever they wanted.
In less than two hours, Xie Sen and MeiIn had finished decorating their new place. Seeing that it was still early, Xie Sen took out the plant seeds he had obtained from the Yamu Continent and found some tall tree seeds.
Long Teng asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Xie Sen told him the plan for the land next to them. "I'm going to plant these tree seeds first." Thinking that the soil was not good, he took out some watermelon seeds.
After the plants in the system grew, the soil would be improved. This way, the trees would be able to grow smoothly.
Long Teng heard this and curiously followed them outside with Bai Jiao.
Xie Sen used white lime powder to circle the area. MeiIn dug a hole, he threw the seeds into the hole. MeiIn covered the seeds with soil. The two of them cooperated very well.
Bai Jiao saw how casual they were and couldn't help but ask, "Can you really plant them like this? Why don't I take the seeds to the lab to germinate and then let you plant them? "
"No need." Xie Sen shook his head. "This is fine."
He had already retrieved the wood energy and planted watermelons next to them. He wasn't worried about the growth of green plants at all.
The four of them were very efficient. They finished planting the seeds in the morning.
At noon, Xie Sen made a sumptuous lunch in the new apartment. He also invited Xu Da over to thank him for helping to look after the contract beasts. After lunch, Xu Da and the other two left. Xie Sen and MeiIn went to the plant research institute.
Ma Qun gave Xie Sen access. Xie Sen swiped his bracelet without any obstructions. After asking the staff, he went directly to the cultivation base to find Ma Qun.
Xie Sen's eyes immediately lit up when he walked into the plantation. Not far away, a large patch of chili trees grew very luxuriantly. The green leaves and red fruits looked very beautiful.
There were still quite a few people standing in the bushes. They were walking back and forth in the bushes. From time to time, they would bend down to check and take notes.
"There." MeiIn pointed at the farthest Ma Qun.
Xie Sen pulled MeiIn along the path beside the chili tree to find the horses. He looked at the chili tree as he walked, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. There were many chili peppers on the tree, both green and red.
"Dean Ma," Xie Sen walked over and greeted him. He pointed at the chili tree and said, "The red ones are ripe. You can pick them now."
Ma Qun was bending over to test the chili tree. When he heard his voice, he straightened up and looked over. His face was full of smiles. "Prepare to plant this half and let it continue to grow. As for the other half, we will start harvesting tomorrow."
Xie Sen laughed. "Then I'm in for a treat!"
Ma Qun smiled. "The first batch of chili peppers will be given to you. The yield is much higher than we expected. In half a month, the green ones will also grow. By then, the flowers will bear fruit again. "
After Ma Qun finished speaking, he waved to Xie Sen. "Follow me."
Xie Sen pulled MeiIn. The two of them followed Ma Qun to the edge of the chili field. When they reached the edge, Xie Sen said happily, "Tomato trees! You have successfully cultivated them! "
The tomato trees were only about two fingers long, but they looked very healthy. There were not many of them. At a glance, there were only about 20 to 30 of them. However, as long as they could successfully cultivate them, the number was not important!
When these trees grew up, they would bear a lot of fruit. As long as they planted seeds, they could be planted in large quantities.
Ma Qun nodded. He looked at the tomato trees with a gratified expression. Then, he looked at Xie Sen. "This is all thanks to you."
Xie Sen waved his hand. "This has nothing to do with me. The tomato trees were brought back by Researcher Li You. It has nothing to do with me at all."
Ma Qun said, "Even if we don't talk about it, we still have to thank you for saving him. Do you still remember what I said about the failure of the tomato cultivation?"
Xie Sen nodded. "Yes, you did."
Ma Qun's expression became serious. "When I contacted you yesterday, I said that there was a new discovery." He looked at the chili trees. "Ever since the chili trees were transplanted into the field, we have been very careful. We have been doing various data tests every day."
His gaze fell on Xie Sen's face. "We found that as the chili peppers grow, the soil quality of the land where the chili peppers grow will constantly change. It will become more and more suitable for the growth of plants."
His eyes lit up. "Later on, we conducted tests on the land near it. The results showed that they were also affected! We discussed it many times. In order to confirm this point, we deliberately planted tomatoes in the area closest to the chili field. It was a success! "
Xie Sen immediately understood. A Dan had said that plants could change the soil quality after they were planted. However, the fact that the research institute was able to discover the problem so quickly was due to their serious and meticulous work. He was very impressed.
Ma Qun looked at him. "After that, we conducted tests on all the land where the plants were planted. Only the chili peppers and potatoes that you provided could change the soil quality. The other plants were still unable to do so."
He looked excited and asked, "Where did your plants come from? Did they grow from your contract plants? "
Xie Sen smiled. "Director Ma, don't forget that there are two types of plants that you mentioned. How can a contract plant grow two different types of plants? The chili peppers are my contract plants. The potatoes were found in the wild. "
Ma Qun muttered, "Did you do anything after you got the potatoes?"
Xie Sen shook his head. Ma Qun frowned and muttered to himself, "This is very strange. Why can they change the soil quality like the chili peppers?"
Xie Sen smiled. "Maybe you fertilized them?"
Ma Qun shook his head. "No, we have been adding all kinds of fertilizers and nutrients to the soil. However, the nutrients in the soil will be lost and the plants will not be able to absorb them. The chili peppers and potatoes that you provided, the nutrients in the land where they were planted and the nearby land can be absorbed by the plants. Moreover, even if we don't fertilize them, they still grow very well. "
Xie Sen blinked his eyes. "Ah, that's amazing!"
Ma Qun looked at his confused face and smiled. "You really don't know why?"
Xie Sen said, "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known!"
Ma Qun thought for a moment. "Do you have any other plants?"
Xie Sen nodded. "Yes, I found a lot of plants this time. I just happened to want to give them to you."
Ma Qun was delighted. "Come, let's talk in the office."
In the office, Xie Sen took out the seeds and fruits that he had brought back from the Yamu Continent, the watermelon seeds from the system, as well as the rice and dragon fruit.
Ma Qun called two researchers to separate the seeds. The researchers were excited when they saw the seeds and carefully put them away.
Ma Qun recorded all the seeds. "Do we deal with them as usual or do we give you a reward?"
"As usual." Xie Sen did not hesitate. To him, plants were more attractive than money. Moreover, dividends were definitely more cost-effective in the long run.
Ma Qun nodded and quickly drafted a contract for both parties to sign.
Xie Sen smiled. "Then I won't disturb you. Contact me if there's anything else."
"Wait a moment." Ma Qun raised his hand to stop him from leaving. "There's one more thing."
Xie Sen looked at him in confusion. Ma Qun said, "After the chili peppers are harvested tomorrow morning, the research institute will hold a press conference at noon to announce the emergence of the chili peppers to the public. You are the discoverer, so it's best if you show up."
Seeing Xie Sen hesitate, Ma Qun said, "I've thought about it. You are a public figure, so you're not afraid to show up. Moreover, you are a plant student. July is the professional assessment month for new graduates. If you attend the press conference, you can get full marks for the assessment. "
Xie Sen almost forgot that he had not received his graduation certificate yet. He recalled the comprehensive scoring for the graduation certificate. The exam in March, the internship from April to June, and the professional assessment in July. Only by passing the comprehensive score could he receive his graduation certificate in August.
The assessment was in July for the whole month. He did not know how the assessment would be. What if he had to go everywhere to identify plants? Wouldn't that take a lot of time?
Thinking of this, Xie Sen immediately agreed. After all, he had passed by the broadcast room many times, so he did not have to worry about others knowing what he looked like. "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow."
Ma Qun said, "The press conference will be held in the lobby on the first floor of a building. You can go there at 10 o'clock tomorrow."
Xie Sen agreed. He said goodbye to Ma Qun and left the research institute with MeiIn.
After returning to the apartment, Xie Sen went to look for his contract beast, while MeiIn went to the workshop. After MeiIn arrived at the workshop, she first opened the broadcast room and projected the screen on the wall opposite him. After seeing Xie Sen, she began to design the program.
As soon as Xie Sen entered the living area, he heard the voice of the gift announcement. "… The Giant Crocodile is awesome, come to the center of the screen!"
Xie Sen raised his eyebrows, wondering what the Giant Crocodile had done. He looked around and saw the Giant Crocodile at a glance. The Giant Crocodile was crawling quickly, and Little Silver was lying on its flat and wide back as it carried him around.
Little Silver seemed very excited and kept his shell open, like a huge moving lantern.
When he saw Xie Sen, his shell opened and closed, and the lantern instantly flashed. The Giant Crocodile quickly turned around and ran to Xie Sen's side.
Xie Sen rubbed the Giant Crocodile's head and asked about its physical condition. The Giant Crocodile swung its thick tail, which hit the ground with a loud bang. "My body has recovered!"
Xie Sen looked at the ground. Fortunately, there were no cracks. He tapped the Giant Crocodile's head. "Does it hurt?"
The Giant Crocodile: "It doesn't hurt, I didn't use any strength. I can show you."
"Don't." Xie Sen hurriedly stopped it. "This is your residence, you have to take good care of it!"
The Giant Crocodile said, "Mm, Black Panther told me, I'll protect our territory!"
Xie Sen smiled and reached out to stroke Little Silver again. Little Silver's voice was very soft and his tone was particularly excited. "A Sen, I've looked around this place. Haha, my new friends are so awesome, I can go anywhere I want."
Xie Sen smiled. "As long as you like it."
He then went to look at the Giant Bear, which was learning to dance with the Giant Tiger. Xie Sen silently dropped his forehead into his hand as he watched the two giants twist and turn.
The bullet messages were full of "hahaha." Someone had sent another gift and specially said, "Hahaha, the live streamer's expression is so funny. Let them learn to dance, don't stop them!"
Xie Sen smiled helplessly. The two giants stopped and stretched out their paws at him at the same time. He stroked one in each hand. The Giant Tiger said, "Hahaha, the Giant Bear is very smart! It dances like a human, it's definitely our dance king! "
Xie Sen burst out laughing. "Where did you learn this?"
The Giant Bear covered its face with one paw, but it laughed boldly with its mouth wide open. "Haha, I still have to study hard. I watched the live broadcast this morning, and that dance king danced much better than me."
The Giant Tiger said, "We don't talk about modesty here! You're the dance king, didn't you hear what that person said? He's been learning for more than ten years, and you've only been learning for an hour! "
The Giant Bear immediately said, "That's right, I'm the dance king!"
Xie Sen: The poison was a little deep … Seeing the Giant Bear like this, he didn't ask about its physical condition. One look and he could tell that it was fine.
At this time, the two giant leopards walked over with elegant steps. The black leopard lifted its paw, and Xie Sen rubbed it. "What's wrong?"
The black leopard turned its head to look at the gate. "We want to go out. I saw it when I came here. A large area of land has been fenced off. This is your territory, right?"
Xie Sen: "…" Why does the word 'territory' sound a little strange? He said, "Yes."
The black leopard said, "Then can we go to your territory to play?"
Xie Sen thought for a while. The land that he and MeiIn bought was surrounded by a very high wall. It could be considered a sealed area. The contract beasts were very intelligent and obedient, so it wouldn't be a big problem for them to go out.
After all, the contract beasts were used to living in the forest. They stayed indoors all the time. No matter how big the area was, it wouldn't be as comfortable as outside.
He nodded. "Yes, but don't go out of the perimeter of the wall. There are a lot of seeds planted outside. You have to be careful not to step on them."
"No problem." The black leopard nodded its big head and tilted its head to the side of the door. "Let's go!"
Xie Sen smiled and walked towards the door. The two giant leopards followed behind him. The other contract beasts saw him open the door and quickly ran over from all directions. Xie Sen heard the movement and turned around one by one.
He laughed. It seemed that they all wanted to go outside!
"'Little Speckled Guardian' sent the streamer a watermelon rain. Ah ah ah, streamer, where are you taking them! It's going out of camera range! "
Xie Sen heard this and said, "They want to go out for a walk. Well, they may go out often in the future. I'll ask someone to install a camera outside later. It won't affect the live broadcast in the future."
After he finished speaking, he told the contract beasts what to pay attention to. Then he opened the door to the maximum to make it convenient for the contract beasts to go in and out.
When the contract beasts saw the spacious, open-air land, they all shouted excitedly and rushed straight out. Xie Sen quickly stopped them and taught them how to identify the land where the seeds were planted to prevent them from stepping on them.
The contract beasts scattered and ran around happily, avoiding the land where the seeds were planted.
The giant crocodile ran back to Xie Sen with Little Silver on its back. Little Silver opened and closed its shell. Xie Sen put his hand on the shell and Little Silver said softly, "A Sen, can you build a pool outside? I want to bask in the sun."
The giant crocodile's tail twisted and the tip of it touched Xie Sen. "Me too!"
Xie Sen looked at the land and pondered for a moment. After the trees grew up, it seemed better to have a river in the middle of them. It would also be more convenient to water them, and at the same time, it would satisfy the needs of Little Silver and the others.
He nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it."
He looked around and quickly made a decision. A man-made river would extend from the living area to the top of the diagonal wall, which would be the longest span.
This would make it easier to water the saplings. At the same time, Little Silver and other water-loving animals could use the man-made river to get to and from the living area.
After he made up his mind, he immediately contacted the construction company and the staff who had installed the camera. Both parties said they would come as soon as possible.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Sen's bracelet rang. It was the sound of the doorbell, and the situation outside was displayed on his bracelet. At the same time, the doorbell also rang.
The giant python was the closest to the door. It was coiled up in the shadow of the wall, and when it heard the sound, it raised its head and leaned against the wall to look outside.
"Ah …" In a split second, there were several screams.
The giant python's green eyes blinked, and it retracted its head and stretched it out to Xie Sen.
Xie Sen had been about to open the door remotely, but when he saw this, he could only run over and poke the python's head. The giant python said in a low voice, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Xie Sen smiled. "It's fine." He stepped forward and opened the door.
Some of the five people at the door looked frightened, while others looked excited. When they saw the other contract beasts looking at them curiously, their emotions multiplied.
Xie Sen said, "Please come in. You don't have to be afraid. As long as you don't have any ill intentions, they won't attack you."
The five of them came back to their senses and entered the door. Xie Sen closed the door and first told the staff who had installed the camera what he wanted. "I want the whole piece of land to be captured in the camera."
The staff said, "A spherical camera is possible, but it's a little expensive. The lowest price is two hundred thousand."
"That's it." Xie Sen made the decision, and the staff agreed. After inspecting the area, they chose the centermost position and started to install the camera.
Xie Sen then told the construction company about his plan for the man-made river, and at the same time made a request. "It has to be at least three meters wide, and the bottom and walls of the river should be inlaid with white tiles. How long will it take to complete it?"
The foreman said, "If we rush, we can finish it today, but we'll have to call for more people. It'll be much faster if we start working on the relevant water diversion facilities and river channels at the same time."
Xie Sen looked at the contract beasts that had gathered. Seeing the staff's nervous and excited expressions, he immediately said, "Then call for more people and finish it today."
The foreman did not delay and called ten people over. Each of them drove an excavator, a truck, and other tools. The foreman quickly arranged the work for them. Each person was in charge of a section, and they started to work at the same time.
Seeing this, Xie Sen finally understood why the construction team was so efficient.
The foreman glanced at the staff and checked the progress of their work. Suddenly, his gaze paused. "Oh my god, what's that?"
Xie Sen looked over and saw the giant armored beast digging a hole. It was very fast and dug a small section in a short time. Xie Sen laughed. "It's a giant armored beast. It likes to dig holes."
The foreman looked envious. "If only it could work in our company!"
Xie Sen smiled and walked to the giant armored beast. "If you're tired, you can rest." The giant armored beast nodded and began to dig again. Its tail was wagging happily.
Xie Sen watched for a while. He couldn't stand it under the sun. He told the staff and the contract beasts that he was going to return to the apartment.
The foreman was shocked. "This, how can this be? There are so many high-level contract beasts here. What if … what if something happens?"
Xie Sen comforted him. "Look, they're all playing their own things. Nothing will happen. As long as you don't hurt them, they won't hurt you."
He returned to the apartment. When he walked into the lobby, MeiIn was coming down from the second floor. Xie Sen told her about the construction of the river.
MeiIn sat him on the sofa and poured him a glass of water. "Rest for a while."
At ten o'clock the next day, Xie Sen and MeiIn arrived at the lobby of the Plant Research Institute on time. Xie Sen swiped his bracelet and entered. He was shocked when he entered. The lobby was very large. It was full of people. Many of them were holding professional camera equipment.
Xie Sen subconsciously lowered the brim of his cap. When he and MeiIn came, they both wore caps that covered most of their faces. No one noticed them along the way.
"A Sen." A person walked over quickly. Xie Sen looked up. When he saw Li You, he smiled and greeted him.
Li You smiled. "This is the reception area for the reporters and the audience. Follow me. I'll take you to the backstage."
When they reached the backstage, Xie Sen saw Dean Ma, who had obviously dressed up. There were also a few familiar looking researchers. They greeted each other. Ma Qun said, "Don't be nervous. The press conference will be over in an hour. When I call your name, you can go out and say hello."
Xie Sen nodded. At this time, a staff member shouted, "Dean Ma, it's your turn to speak in two minutes."
Ma Qun stood up and straightened his clothes. He pointed to the wall in the backstage. "You can watch the broadcast here. You can watch it for a while. When you leave, just stand next to me." He finished speaking and quickly walked out.
Li You asked Xie Sen and MeiIn to sit down and watch the broadcast together.
Xie Sen looked at the bottom left corner of the screen. There were more than 52 million people, and it was still rising rapidly. He was surprised. "This is the real-time audience?"
Li You nodded. "The broadcast is for the entire Planet Brent. It's not open to outsiders, so there aren't many people."
Xie Sen was stunned. This isn't many?
The host gave a short opening speech and then said, "Next, let's welcome Dean Ma Qun of the Plant Research Institute to give a detailed introduction."
Ma Qun walked to the front of the stage with his usual elegant smile. His eyes were bright. "Welcome everyone. Today, we will be announcing a new type of vegetable — chili. This vegetable was very popular in the past, and it's also a type of seasoning."
The bullet screen immediately praised him. "Dean Ma, good job. You're straight to the point without any hesitation!"
"Dean Ma is so cool today!"
Ma Qun paused for a moment before continuing. "After careful data analysis, the results are very gratifying. Chili is rich in vitamins and trace elements. Among them, vitamin E is closely related to fertility. We are optimistic that it may improve the current plummeting fertility. "
In an instant, a huge discussion came from the crowd at the press conference. Everyone was very excited. The smart bullet screen in the broadcast room was full of bullet screen comments.
"Really? Oh my god, sell it quickly. I want to buy it! "
"I want to eat it! I can eat 50 kilograms! "
Ma Qun waited for the crowd to quiet down before continuing. "Currently, the research institute has many types of plants that are being researched and planted. Soon, they will be available to everyone one by one."
His tone was full of passion. "I believe that the day when we can eat vegetables and fruits whenever we want is not far away. One day, we will return to a normal diet and no longer need nutrient solutions. All newborn babies will be healthy and strong!"
The audience all agreed. The bullet screen was also filled with "The Plant Research Institute is awesome."
Ma Qun said, "This is the result of everyone's many years of hard work. Many people have sacrificed their lives for this. I sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to the plant research."
He paused. "Now, I will introduce the person who discovered the chili — Xie Sen. I thank him."
Suddenly, there was a thunderous applause.
MeiIn shook Xie Sen's hand. Xie Sen's originally nervous mood suddenly calmed down. He tilted his head and smiled at MeiIn before getting up and walking out.
As soon as he went out, he faced the many cameras. His heart couldn't help but tighten. He had a standard smile on his face. "Hello, everyone."
The discussion below could be heard. When Xie Sen heard the words "live broadcast" and "contracted beast," he was not surprised that he was recognized by people.
Ma Qun thanked him again and said, "That's all for the chili. Next, it's the Q&A session."
The reporters' questions basically revolved around chili. The biggest focus was on the nutrition of chili. Ma Qun answered them cleanly. Xie Sen basically didn't have to worry. He only needed to nod at the side. This had almost become his subconscious action.
Ma Qun suddenly asked, "A Sen, do you know how to cook?"
Xie Sen nodded.
Ma Qun said, "Good. Finally, according to the usual practice, let's have the person who discovered the chili demonstrate how to eat it!"
Xie Sen raised his head and was stunned. So he was going to demonstrate how to cook now?
Ma Qun asked, "What do you want to do? What ingredients do you want to prepare? "
Xie Sen looked at the staff moving the kitchen equipment to the stage. He thought for a while and said, "Let's prepare some tender fish. It's best to slice it and bring it over."
Very quickly, someone brought over a big bowl of fish slices. Xie Sen looked at the chili and salt. He deeply felt that there were too few condiments.
As he burned the oil, he thought, How do you make vinegar and soy sauce? They seem to be made with food. Maybe I should ask a culinary student? Having food but no condiments is also very sad!
The Spicy Boiled Fish with limited condiments was very easy to make. He stir-fried the chili until the chili oil came out. He added salt, water, and fish slices. The spicy smell quickly spread throughout the venue.
The reporters and audience at the scene all stretched their necks to see the pot. Their saliva was drawn out by the spicy smell. They silently swallowed. Someone couldn't help but shout, "It's too fragrant! Dean Ma, I'd like to request a taste test! "
"Let me, let me try it!" The reporters and audience at the scene all raised their hands. They were eager to try.
The camera zoomed in on the inside of the pot. The white fish slices had a layer of red chili oil floating on them. They looked exceptionally beautiful and delicious.
The bullet screen exploded. "Dean Ma! I'm at the entrance of the research institute. Let me in! "
"I want to go too. Looking at the expressions of the people at the scene, I'm simply too curious! What is this smell!? "
"Dean Ma is also swallowing his saliva. I saw it!"
"Tell me quickly! When will it be sold? If I can't get it, I'll chop off my hand! "
