After the military training ended, all schools entered formal learning mode, and Xia Shizhao had more work to do, and he also had to organize the homework he had raised from time to time.

No one told her when she registered that the School of Pharmacy required her to farm!

You have to dig the ground yourself.

If it weren't for his experience in planting and dismantling machinery, Xia Shizhao couldn't imagine how busy he would have been in the past month.

"I still have to go loosen the soil in the medicine field later. I'm really fed up with this life."

"Who asked you to do two at the same time?"

Ge Shiyi, inside the mecha, laughed out loud, "But the capable are always given more work, hahaha."

"You gloating bastard."

Xia Shizhao lay under a wrecked mecha, unscrewing it while making sarcastic remarks.

"Shi Zhao!"

Xia Shizhao, covered in dust and dirt from dismantling the mecha, suddenly heard someone calling his name and tilted his head in confusion.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Ke running over, panting.

Seeing her panting heavily, Xia Shizhao slipped out from under the mecha, took off his heat-resistant gloves, dropped the welding torch, picked up a clean cup, filled it with water, and handed it to her. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Didn't you ask me to water your plants?" Gu Ke waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to, looking anxious. "Something's happened! All the plants you were growing have been trampled and ruined!"

"ah?"

Xia Shizhao was stunned.

"It's been trampled? Huh??"

"Sigh, you need to come with me right away, and then immediately ask the teacher to check the surveillance footage."

As she spoke, she grabbed Xia Shizhao's hand and started to run. While running, Xia Shizhao shouted to Ge Shiyi inside the mecha, "Finish your part first, and I'll come back after I've finished what I'm doing!"

"No, I'll go with you."

Ge Shiyi, who was inside the mecha, heard everything clearly and immediately jumped out, her face also dark with anger.

After wiping their faces with a tissue, the three of them immediately headed towards the fields behind the School of Pharmacy.

Many people stood in front of Xia Shizhao's medicinal herb field and discussed in hushed tones.

"Excuse me."

They made way for Xia Shizhao, who stood in place, expressionless as he watched his carefully planted plants being trampled and bent over, the air still filled with the unique scent of plant sap.

Gu Ke, a fellow pharmacist, was furious. "It would have been better to pick them than to trample them. Who was that bastard?!"

"..."

Xia Shizhao took a breath and took out his phone to record it.

After taking photos as evidence, she squatted down to clean up the mess, pulled out the plants whose roots had been completely damaged, and carefully sprinkled nutrient solution on them if they could still be salvaged.

Everything was unusually calm.

The people around her, who had initially wanted to watch the spectacle, lost interest after seeing her reaction and dispersed to tend to their own medicinal fields.

Xia Shizhao walked up to the security guard watching over the medicinal herb field with a faint smile. "Uncle, could I see the surveillance footage from last night?"

The security guard took a drag of his cigarette and looked at Xia Shizhao with a troubled expression. "I'm sorry, the security cameras were broken yesterday, so there weren't any."

"How could it be such a coincidence? It was broken yesterday, and the surveillance cameras are broken too?"

Ge Shiyi asked, frowning.

"Why would I lie to you? See for yourselves." The burly security guard's thick, dark eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his gruff reply sounded quite angry.

Looking at the cigarette in his hand, Xia Shizhao's eyes darkened. He grabbed Ge Shiyi and Gu Ke, who were about to check the surveillance footage, and said amicably:

"I'm sorry, my friend is too angry. They didn't do it on purpose. We won't watch the surveillance footage. Trust that Uncle won't lie to us."

"You're the one who's being reasonable. Why would a security guard like me delete surveillance footage?"

"Uh-huh."

Xia Shizhao covered their mouths with a smile and dragged them away from the security room.

"Waaah~"

Gu Ke, being weaker than Xia Shizhao, was covered as she left the security room. Ge Shiyi, who had come to her senses, frowned beside her and said, "I'm going to find my grandfather."

"No need to trouble the teacher for now, I roughly know who it is."

Xia Shizhao rubbed his forehead in exasperation; Huang Xia was really petty.

"Why don't you check the security footage? That security guard did it on purpose."

Gu Ke looked at Xia Shizhao from the side, puzzled.

Xia Shizhao patted her head. "I know you mean well, but the security guard has been bribed, so the surveillance footage is definitely gone. We found out just now that the security guard Ye let slip, 'Why delete the surveillance footage?' Besides, your medicinal herb field is still inside, so it's not worth offending him for now."

Gu Ke looked depressed. "Then what should we do?"

"Isn't that person just trying to make me break down? I won't. I'll just continue doing what I was doing, act like nothing happened, and not tell the teacher. We'll wait and see; one day they'll break down."

Xia Shizhao certainly wouldn't let the person who destroyed her medicinal herb field get away with it, but the person behind it would definitely come back to sabotage it again because of her nonchalant attitude. At that time, she would unleash the dogs to bite him.

Xia Shizhao's smile was exceptionally innocent.

Just when I was feeling leisurely, I was about to tear the house apart.

The collected affection points are just enough for it to transform a few times.

Given Xia Shizhao's tendency to never suffer a loss, Gu Ke also calmed down considerably.

"Alright, you have your own ideas, then I won't interfere," Gu Ke pouted, then suddenly thought of something, her big eyes blinking, "Once you finish writing the mechanical sample, teach me your Laughing Potion sometime~ My pharmacy is always open to your visits."

"Um... what are you going to do?"

Xia Shizhao asked hesitantly, "Students in the School of Pharmacy attend large lectures in classrooms, and after class, each student has a private pharmacy room to do homework and experiments."

If the pharmacist is not present, a correct password or facial recognition is required to enter freely.

Of course, Xia Shizhao and Gu Ke revoked Ge Shiyi's right to enter.

"Find an idiot who's harassing me."

Good boy Gu Ke spoke in a sinister tone, then put on an innocent expression, instantly giving Ge Shiyi goosebumps.

You become like the company you keep; these two have been together for so long that even their expressions are starting to look alike.

She always had that innocent, harmless expression, it was terrifying.

Pharmacists are not to be trifled with, especially skilled pharmacists.

If you offend someone, you won't even know how you died.

Ge Shiyi warned herself not to mess with the pharmacists, but she still timidly stayed close to them, saying, "I want to learn too."

"no!"

The two refused in unison. The scene of the potion room almost exploding last time was still vivid in their minds, and they didn't dare let her touch the potions again.

A person who can accurately control the materials used in mecha is completely inaccurate when it comes to controlling medicinal herbs.

The data speaks for itself, and the lab almost exploded.

"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Why are you being so fierce? Last time was an accident."

Ge Shiyi followed behind the two of them with a wronged look on her face, like a golden retriever that hadn't gotten any snacks.

Gu Ke's ears twitched, her eyes narrowed into small, semi-circular daggers, and she put her hands on her hips, looking fierce: "Have you forgotten that last time you secretly went to Shi Zhao's apothecary and got a bottle of failed recovery potion, poisoning yourself unconscious?? If Shi Zhao hadn't dropped something in the apothecary, you would have died! Is snake venom something you can control???"

"Waaah, stop cursing, stop cursing."

Ge Shiyi covered her ears and cried out, "Sister, dear sister, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"Hmph~ That's more like it." Gu Ke crossed her arms and snorted softly.

"The pharmacy assessment is in half a month. Shi Zhao will definitely get into Class S, but I'm still a bit worried."

“You can do it,” Xia Shizhao looked at her earnestly, his eyes full of sincerity. “You’ve worked very hard and are very serious. You can definitely do it.”

"That's true... but how can I compare to those omegas who can concoct potions just by playing around..."

As she spoke, Gu Ke bit her lower lip in jealousy.

Ge Shiyi, who was standing next to her, put her arm around her neck and pointed to herself with a smug look on her face, "Shi Zhao and I are also betas. We got first place in both theory and practice in the last mechanical exam."

"...Yeah, I was already discouraged before the exam even started. Shi Zhao was also impressed by her; she's very talented too."

Encouraged, Gu Ke clenched her fist with renewed energy.

beta·Xia Shizhao·omega stood aside without saying a word.

Silently encouraging with her eyes.

After explaining the precautions for the medicine, she and Ge Shiyi rushed back to their machine room to continue their work.

Ge Wu privately taught the two of them all the knowledge he had learned in his second year of university. He needed the data on the damaged mecha in a week, which drove them crazy. It was too difficult.
