The delivery of the pumpkin flowers went very smoothly. Zhao Xian collected the flowers as usual, and while putting them away carefully, he praised: "As expected of Teacher Qiao, things are going so smoothly. The base is lucky to have you."
Qiao Xuejun: "Taking money to do things! I'm not like some people who take things but don't see any results."
She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew she was talking about Huo Antu.
That's it. 100 liters of blue oil were given to Huo Antu, and Huo Antu promised to hand over artificially synthesized vitamin A in three months. Nothing was seen in between.
Unlike Qiao Xuejun's side, every stage from the pumpkin seedlings and leaves to the vines and then to the flowers is clearly shown.
In fact, Qiao Xuejun knew that Huo Antu had a reputation and professional achievements in this world. As the male protagonist, he was well-known and did not need to submit production results step by step like her, so everyone naturally believed in him.
Zhao Xian also believed him.
But Qiao Xuejun couldn't even produce a professional certificate.
She knew that it was natural for Zhao Xian not to believe her, and that he was an enlightened leader to approach her for a deal. Adding a few more stages of testing was what he should do as a lord.
Nothing wrong.
But it did not stop her from trying to drag down the man surnamed Huo, and she took every opportunity to speak ill of him in front of Zhao Xian. And she said it loudly and openly, after all, what she said was true, and she did not slander anyone.
Zhao Xian felt somewhat helpless after hearing what Qiao Xuejun said. He smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to Teacher Qiao. He gave our base great confidence in survival."
Qiao Xuejun has always had a grudge against Huo Antu, especially after the last beast tide, but he knew that Qiao Xuejun was not the kind of person who would question others casually. After he noticed what Qiao Xuejun said, he sent people to secretly monitor the research institute, but after so long, he didn't find anything special about Huo Antu.
There is only one thing. Professor Huo used to have a regular work and rest schedule, but ever since he made a bet with Qiao Xuejun, he has been working day and night, sleeping only 5 hours a day, and is more tired than a dog.
Qiao Xuejun: "That's not the case... You've seen this flower, so I'll go back to work?"
Yan Wei, who was standing next to him, looked at the flower and only glanced at it briefly before Zhao Xian put it away. Even so, he could still feel the vitality blooming in it.
Ren Wangwang also said: "Captain, can you show us the flowers? Are these pumpkin flowers edible? Captain, take a look."
Zhao Xian pushed him away: "What do you want to see? Go away."
Can you show the flowers you send to others casually?
Qiao Xuejun said, "There is a recipe for eating pumpkin flowers, but I want to keep the flowers for fruiting, so forget about eating them."
Ren Wangwang didn’t really want to eat them, he just wanted to look at the flowers, they were so rare.
Since the heat, the only flowers they had seen were blood flowers.
But seeing how stingy the captain was, he would not show them to them. Besides, Teacher Qiao sent flowers today, and the captain also kept the leaves and vine tips that they sent before. If they touched them more, the captain would frown and say that he had to keep them for the record and not to damage them.
In fact, Ren Wangwang didn’t see any so-called archived files in the office database.
The captain must have kept a file of it, probably with him.
The captain is definitely interested in Teacher Qiao, but the same cannot be said for Teacher Qiao.
Sure enough, Qiao Xuejun added, "When I finish artificial pollination, I can share the flowers that don't bear fruit with you."
Zhao Xian’s face froze.
Ren Wangwang: "Great, great, thank you Teacher Qiao!"
Qiao Xuejun said generously: "It's useless anyway!"
Zhao Xian: "...When will you finish your work? There is an area where mutant creatures gather. I am planning to go explore it soon. Do you want to go?"
That kind of place is likely to have the plants that Qiao Xuejun is looking for.
Last time, Qiao Xuejun found a complete moss in the stomach of a crab, and Zhao Xian found out that the crab was one of the members of this gathering area.

"Dean, I heard that the woman named Qiao brought pumpkin flowers into the base! Not only me, but many people have heard about it. According to those who saw it, the flower was complete, with stems and leaves."
In Huo Antu's research institute, the assistant with a broken arm was circling around Huo Antu, looking anxious: "Could it be fake?"
As Huo Antu's assistant, he knew something about vitamin A. Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A after being eaten. Moreover, pumpkin also contains vitamin C.
If that woman can really grow pumpkins, then the dean is doomed to fail, right?
Huo Antu stood in front of the machine wearing a transparent mask and gloves for experiments, and reached out to the assistant: "Give me the No. 3 medicine."
The assistant walked to the medicine cabinet and found medicine No. 3. As he moved, he muttered, "Impossible... After all, what you and that woman are competing for is the annual supply of vitamin A for the warrior group. There are 60 warriors. Even if each warrior eats half a pound a day, that would be tens of thousands of pounds a year. How can she produce 10,000 pounds in three months?"
Huo Antu's eyes narrowed and he took the potion: "It's not impossible."
He had thought it was impossible before, but after meeting Qiao Xuejun and escaping a beast tide together, he felt that it was true and that Qiao Xuejun was truly a man who did practical things.
Seeing is believing, he can't be wrong.
After thinking about it for so long, he realized that he might have really misunderstood Qiao Xuejun.
Huo Antu closed his eyes and said, "I am narrow-minded. I plan to give her a public apology."
The assistant was so frightened that he almost lost his balance: "What? Apologize?"
It’s not even three months yet...the results aren’t even out yet, how can you admit defeat now?
Huo Antu: "I was wrong, so I have to apologize."

"Pumpkin? Eating it will turn you yellow. How can it compare to a vitamin A supplement?"
Shen Xingtang turned on the intercom and participated in today's hot topics on the Survivor Alliance channel.
Qiao Xuejun brought flowers to Zhao Xian today and showed off all the way. Who wouldn't know about it?
The flowers have a huge impact on humans, and more people are paying attention to them than before. Originally, public opinion was more favorable to Huo Antu, but now it has begun to favor Qiao Xuejun.
This was what Shen Xingtang didn't want to see. She followed the system's instructions and used her favorability system to make everyone stand on her side. She felt that the system was right and made everyone stand on her side first. The position was set. Right or wrong was not important, only the position was important. So what if Qiao Xuejun really took out the pumpkin at that time?
It's the same loss.
"And who hasn't tried to grow something during this period? Is anyone able to grow it? Only she did. The method she used is really scary. Otherwise, why can't others grow it, but only she can grow it?"
