Chapter 64 [Nutrient Solution 14000 plus update]
"yes!"
Inside the Earth Command Center, an expert from the Chinese medical team slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Why didn't I think of this!"
Since the Desert cannot teleport living things back to Earth, the number of plant samples brought back by the advance team each time is not that large. Almost everyone has a preconceived notion that it is enough for the laboratory to conduct experiments.
But Gu Liangyi's words inspired them——
If these plants are made into Chinese medicinal materials and then sent back to Earth in large quantities, the prospects for this industry chain will definitely be bright! And it will also have an immeasurable positive impact on the promotion of Chinese medicine!
Sure enough, not long after this live broadcast, the liaison officer at the command center responsible for connecting with China received news from the country.
The subordinate hurriedly walked up to Lu Lang and whispered to him the Chinese side's opinion.
"The country hopes that we can pay more attention to this aspect and mobilize other students in the school to learn to identify medicinal herbs and collect them together," the subordinate said. "Minister Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Lang pondered for a moment and nodded: "We can add a herb identification course. Also, when you contact Mo Da later, don't forget to tell them to send more soil from the Xiuxian world during this period. We also need to conduct relevant planting experiments here."
"Okay, I understand."
As the subordinate walked back with the documents in his hands, he couldn't help but mutter, "We actually have to take a Herbology class... This really has become the Hogwarts of the East."
"I want to be a Potions professor!"
After hearing the news from Zong Qinyuan, Zhuge Xiao lay on his bed in the dormitory that night and began to imagine the future: "When the time comes, I must develop a potion that can make people remember everything they see, so that they don't have to study all night before the exam!"
"Give up. Even if you memorize all the formulas, you still can't do the math problems." He ruthlessly crushed Yan Beichen's fantasy. "Besides, we are not going to study potions, but traditional Chinese medicine. You have no chance."
Zhuge Xiao said stubbornly: "Maybe I am the little genius of traditional Chinese medicine hidden in Mo Da? Anyway, I also learned a lot of plant knowledge in the last world. If I can integrate it, can't I, Doctor Zhuge, do both?"
Gu Liang smiled, and he leaned over to look at Zhuge Xiao who was sleeping in the lower bunk: "Okay, then Doctor Zhuge, remember to check my pulse when the time comes."
Zhuge Xiao immediately said that he could do it right away. He had learned a few tricks from an old Chinese doctor in his family before, so the basics of looking, smelling, asking and palpating were definitely no problem for him.
Gu Liangyi was fooled by him and actually stretched out his arm and asked him to take his pulse.
Zhuge Xiao stood beside his bed, rolled up Gu Liangyi's sleeves, pressed his pulse with two fingers, and felt it seriously with his eyes half closed.
"How is it?" Gu Liangyi couldn't help but lower his voice and asked carefully.
"this……"
Zhuge Xiao frowned, and just when Gu Liangyi and his secondary personality were both getting nervous, he suddenly threw a wink at the young man with a playful smile, clasped his hands and said, "Donor, you are pregnant! Congratulations!"
Gu Liangyi: “…………”
But he couldn't help laughing out loud with Yan Beichen.
After spending a long time with this group of lively kids in the dormitory, Gu Liangyi's personality has become much more lively than when he first started school, and he smiles more often.
But when Gu Liangyi sat back on his bed, he accidentally met the eyes of Yi Yan, who was leaning against the wall and reading a book.
"…What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
Yi Yan didn't say anything, but just looked at the bright smile on Gu Liang's face that had not yet faded, and silently turned a page of the book. The fingers that were pinching the page turned slightly white because of the force.
"Brother Yi, do you want me to help you?" Zhuge Xiao asked him from below, "What are you looking at?"
"No."
Yi Yan suddenly closed the book in his hand and placed it next to the pillow near the wall: "I'm sleepy, and you guys should turn off the lights early after you finish chatting."
"You went to bed so early?" Zhuge Xiao asked in surprise, "It's only a little after nine o'clock. Forget it, Lao Si, do you want to come down and play Landlord with us?"
Gu Liangyi shook his head: "No, I'll read for a while and then go to sleep."
The book was borrowed from Yi Yan, and its content is about traditional Chinese poetry and literature.
It is said that this book is very famous in the literary field, so it is not easy to borrow, and there are only three copies in the entire library.
Teacher Gong once mentioned in his public psychology class that he suggested students to borrow the book if they had nothing to do, but since Yi Yan had it, Gu Liangyi was too lazy to go to the library again.
Moreover, he just casually told Yi Yan that he wanted to borrow a book to read. Before he even said the title of the book, Yi Yan told him to take any book from his bookshelf. He acted quite casually.
Gu Liang turned on the night light, put a pillow under his lower back, lowered his head and turned the page quietly.
As the black-haired young man blinked, a warm halo of light cast a small, swaying shadow under his eyelashes. Seeing this quiet and beautiful picture, the refresh rate of the barrage in major live broadcast rooms on the earth gradually slowed down, but the frequency of screenshots and saving was increasing exponentially.
As the night deepened, the conversation coming from the lower bunk gradually became inaudible.
Gu Liangyi turned another page, but his fingers paused slightly.
——A page of paper that was obviously torn from a homework book and folded into a frog fell into his arms.
There were faint words inside. Gu Liang picked it up, blinked, and looked up at Yi Yan who was lying opposite him.
Because he didn't know whether the other person was asleep or not, Gu Liangyi didn't wake him up. The secondary personality really wanted to see what was written inside, and kept urging him to open it quickly.
"Isn't this a bad idea?" He hesitated, "And it's still being broadcast live."
Gu Liangyou said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? Don't worry, I have turned off the live broadcast, no one will see it!"
Gu Liangyi: "...you are just trying to cover up the truth!"
He simply couldn't do anything about You. Now, even if he didn't watch it, people all over the world would think that he turned off the live broadcast in order to peek - well, in that case, then just watch it.
Gu Liangyi glanced at Yi Yan guiltily, and seeing that he was still lying on the bed in the same position, as if he had really fallen asleep, he carefully unfolded the paper.
This is……! ? ?
Gu Liang's pupils shrank.
The fingers holding the paper began to tremble slightly, and his face turned visibly pale. Gu Liangyou in the conscious world was silent for a long time before he sighed.
"I see."
This is a letter of apology.
Looking at the watermark "XXX City Senior High School" in the lower right corner of the exercise book, this was probably written by Yi Yan when he was in high school. From the lines, one can clearly feel the writer's deep guilt and the complex emotions that cannot be expressed.
But he probably didn't plan to send out this apology letter, otherwise he wouldn't have folded it into the shape of a frog and put it in the book.
Gu Liangyi never thought that the truth would be like this.
It turns out that the Officer Fu, whom he has always regarded as a hero, is actually Yi Yan's father?
"Officer Fu, Fu Jingyan... No wonder he chose such a pseudonym," Gu Liangyou said, "So, he came to the welfare home to look for clues about his father? He's really bold."
However, if Yi Yan had not barged in rashly, he and the main personality would not know how long they would have been locked in that basement.
Unlike what Yi Yan had imagined, no matter which personality it was, no one had any major objection to Officer Fu's approach, and some even thought that this was the correct way to handle it.
After all, there were so many other children in the welfare home besides him.
But the secondary personality was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the main personality was harmed, and the main personality was also resentful that the secondary personality had disappeared for so many years. So after being stunned for a while, Gu Liangyi silently folded the paper as before and stuffed it back into the book pages.
"Just pretend you haven't seen it," he said, "I'm still very grateful to Officer Fu... although this doesn't mean I don't have any resentment towards him. Sorry, You, I probably can't hate him."
"Why are you saying sorry to me? We both share the same feelings."
Gu Liangyou could certainly feel the conflicted mood of the main character. In fact, they all endured that pain at the beginning, so there was no question of who forgave whom or who hated whom.
They are one.
"So Yi Yan came to Mo University because of me?"
When Gu Liang thought of the words written in the apology letter, "I will do my best to make it up to you, although I know it probably can't undo the harm you've suffered," his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yi Yan's back on the bed opposite him.
"Who needs him to be like this? He's so self-indulgent. It's not the son who pays the father's debts anymore," Gu Liangyou felt a little speechless. "And he feels like a stalker. When we met again, he even dared to say he didn't know him. He's really shameless."
Gu Liangyi also expressed his agreement with this point.
"He's been acting weird lately, is this the reason?"
Yi Yan brought an apology letter written in high school with him to college and even put it inside a library book he had just borrowed not long ago.
However, Gu Liangyi estimated that Yi Yan might not know that he happened to borrow this book, otherwise he would definitely not be able to sleep now.
"Maybe." Gu Liangyou said delicately, "But he doesn't owe us anything. He even saved you once before... This guy is really weird and stubborn. I have no objection if you want to date him."
"What - how did the topic turn to this?" Gu Liangyi almost coughed, "I think it's you, You, who has dirty thoughts. A few days ago, you urged me to ask him how he trained his abdominal muscles. I knew you had bad intentions!"
"We share the same brain. The idea of saying one thing and doing another won't work on me. When I first woke up, the image of his abdominal muscles in your memory was almost 1g."
Gu Liangyou said maliciously, "Anyway, we all have a good impression of him. I've always wanted to see what this guy looks like when he blushes. Why don't we try to kiss him and see how he reacts? College life is incomplete without a heart-wrenching love affair."
"... You, I've already said that the batch of youth pain magazines that the welfare home bought together did a lot of harm to people."
Gu Liangyi pursed his lips and glanced in Yi Yan's direction again. In the end, his inner uneasiness prevailed. Besides, he had just learned the truth and had no time to think about all these miscellaneous things.
"Let's go to bed first," he said. "We have to visit the wind tunnel tomorrow."
*
The wind tunnel test that Gu Liangyi mentioned was not a wind tunnel test for fighter jets, but a wind tunnel test for flying swords. Experts on Earth have always been curious about the principles of flying swords in this world. Wouldn't they drop their flying swords due to wind resistance when flying at high altitudes?
"To be honest, I'm curious too."
Zhuge Xiao tilted his head and said to Gu Liangyi, "Isn't that what we are studying? If we can figure out the principle of flying with a sword in the future, can we just let the pilots throw watermelons down on the battlefield?"
"It's probably not very convenient for military use. It's not very fast and can be easily detected by radar," Gu Liangyi thought for a while and said, "But if it can be popularized for civilian use, it should greatly facilitate people's commuting. For example, when going to work or delivering food, there is no need to wait in traffic jams or red lights."
Zhuge Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right! I live in a high-rise building in Central, and every time the takeaway is delivered, it's almost cold. If I had a flying sword, the delivery guy wouldn't have to climb the stairs, he could just fly to the high floor and knock on the window to deliver the takeaway!"
"I've already said that this guy is an evil capitalist," Yan Beichen snorted coldly, "Old Four, we can't let him go when we get back. We must go to his house to eat and drink for free. This guy lives in Central, Hong Kong, and he even has a swimming pool at home!"
Zong Qinyuan's expression changed. As a good principal who always thought about the new campus, he immediately asked kindly, "Student Zhuge, is your family interested in donating some money to Moda?"
Zhuge Xiao laughed dryly: "...About this, I probably need to go back and ask."
After saying that, he poked Yan Beichen hard: "How dare you say that to me? You even said that your family only herds cattle and sheep. If I hadn't let it slip last time, who would have known that you have thousands of cattle and sheep at home!"
Gu Liangyi watched them fighting helplessly, thinking that the truly poor people were the ones who stayed here silently.
Earth Live Studio.
Seeing that their leader became an outsider in this discussion, the followers of the Demon God Savior Church immediately became restless!
Isn’t it just money?
The leader doesn’t have it, but they do!
In just a few minutes, the donation mailbox that Wu Junlang opened on the website was filled with donation messages from people from all walks of life. Several accountants were trembling with fear when they were doing the statistics. If Wu Junlang hadn't patted his chest to assure them that they had the state's endorsement, they would have suspected that they would soon be thrown into jail for illegal fundraising!
They never thought in their lives that one day they would have so much money that they wouldn’t be able to count it!
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Looking at the zeros at the end of the account, the accountant in charge of preparing this quarter's financial report could no longer hold on and announced on the spot that he would go to sleep before coming back to work, otherwise he would be the next person to die suddenly.
Although Wu Junlang has publicly stated that he recommends that people stop donating to the website, as the money in the church is really enough, Gu Liangyi's fans around the world are still enthusiastically stuffing banknotes from various countries into the donation boxes on the roadside.
"We want to give the best to the leader!"
With so much money, let alone a house in Central, Hong Kong, you can even buy a row of townhouses in Beverly Hills!
"Hire a professional to manage these assets," Lu Lang wisely gave Wu Junlang a suggestion when he received his call for help. "If you don't handle this much money properly, the backlash from public opinion will be terrible. We hope that your church will be a help to Gu Liangyi, not a burden."
Wu Junlang said repeatedly: "That's right, you are right! Apart from the necessary operating funds, I saved the rest of this money for the leader!"
"You don't have to put it all in the bank," Lu Lang said with a smile. He knew that Wu Junlang was just an ordinary programmer before, and he must be a little overwhelmed by the sudden acquisition of such a large sum of money, not knowing how to deal with it. "Although so much money in the bank will earn tens of thousands of yuan in interest a day, it is still a bit too wasteful. You can make some safe investments appropriately."
Wu Junlang swallowed and said, "You say."
While staring at the big screen and recording data, Lu Lang kindly reminded: "You should know Gu Liangyi's character very well. Rather than giving him a large sum of money directly, I believe he would be more willing to do charity in his name, open some welfare homes and libraries to benefit the next generation, or fund some medical research institutions."
Wu Junlang understood and said, "I understand! Thank you, Minister Lu!"
"You're welcome."
Before hanging up the phone, Lu Lang made a little joke with him: "After Mo Da comes back, all the staff in our headquarters will probably be unemployed. Remember to work hard. Then I will bring my men to join you. Remember to ask Gu Liangyi to pay us."
Wu Junlang laughed dryly: "...Haha, you are joking."
On the other side, the world of immortal cultivation.
Gu Liangyi didn't know that his expression of lowering his eyes had caused such a great impact on the earth. In fact, he was just in a daze because he couldn't get a word in, and he didn't think too much about anything else.
Graduates of the Desert University, as long as they are mentally and physically normal, can find good jobs after graduation. Not to mention those who go to work as salespeople at Mobei Heavy Industry. After a trip to the desert, the team's commission alone is a fraction of a small goal.
So, even though Gu Liangyi is penniless now and still relies on government scholarships to go to college, with his reputation as Tang Ban, his starting salary will not be low no matter where he works.
"The structure of this sword doesn't seem to be anything special, so is it because the power of the cultivator himself is special?"
Academician Tang Jingming put on his reading glasses and conducted several tests in the wind tunnel laboratory with his students. Zhou Ming's sword was unable to fly on its own. In desperation, he could only temporarily suspend the experiment and continue the test after Zhou Ming recovered or Zhou Qingzi returned from Linshen Sect.
"Principal Zong, remember to ask them for a few immortal cultivators who can fly with swords, and have them fly a few times in the wind tunnel to simulate different wind speeds," he said seriously to Zong Qinyuan who was watching, "These data are very important for our research."
"Don't worry," Zong Qinyuan nodded, "I've asked Zhou Ming. His master has a high level of cultivation. It will probably only take one day to go back and forth. Even if we include the time to find the medicine, it won't take more than three days at most."
Gu Liangyi asked, "Principal Zong, are we going to Lin Shen Zong?"
"If the other party is friendly, it's not a bad idea to go there," Zong Qinyuan said. "We still know too little about this world. Based on previous experience, seeking help from local indigenous people is the most convenient and quickest way."
Zhuge Xiao sighed with some regret and put his arm around Gu Liangyi's shoulders. "What a pity. The research here recently cannot be done without me. I'm afraid I can't go with you. Fourth Brother, remember to help me see if those immortal cultivators have any secret recipes for beauty and skin care. I plan to bring them back for our mother and some cousins to try out."
Gu Liang nodded slightly and smiled: "You really care about your family."
"Of course I am a friend of women."
Zhuge Xiao said very proudly.
Suddenly, he shuddered violently, and suddenly he felt like a thorn in his back. When he turned his head, he saw Yi Yan, who had just finished his mission, standing at the entrance of the wind tunnel laboratory, staring at them with his dark and deep eyes.
Zhuge Xiao hadn't noticed the danger yet. He put his arm around Gu Liangyi's neck affectionately and reached out to greet Yi Yan: "Brother Yi, you're back so early today?"
"……Um."
Yi Yan didn't seem to want to pay attention to him. He walked in front of Gu Liangyi. Because of yesterday's note, Gu Liangyi subconsciously avoided looking at him, but this made Yi Yan's misunderstanding even deeper.
His Adam's apple rolled and his hands in his pockets paused.
The area surrounding the Desert University campus is full of shallows and swamps. Although there are no large beasts, there are dangers lurking in the water and grass.
For example, Yi Yan was bitten on the left ankle by a white snake lurking under the quicksand today. The snake's fangs, which were several centimeters long, even penetrated his leather boots and pierced his skin. Fortunately, the snake was not very poisonous, otherwise, in order not to delay the next mission, he might have to shoot himself again.
However, it is worth paying these costs.
Just like what is described in the novel, wherever natural treasures grow, there will be spiritual beasts guarding them. After dealing with the water snakes, they found a magical giant tree without branches.
There are hundreds of yellow fruits growing on it, with strange shapes and a color as warm as Hetian yellow jade. Botanical experts have read countless materials and found no records of this plant.
Except for a sentence in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Northern Mountains, which barely fits the description, there is no record of it anywhere else.
They picked all the fruits, but under the tree, Yi Yan found a bunch of dandelions. For some reason he couldn't explain, he also picked a dandelion, made a ring out of it and put it in his pocket.
"Won't you be bored staying here?"
He remembered that in that basement, he had asked Gu Liangyi such a question.
"It's boring, but I will find something to do to make my life less boring."
The black-haired boy answered him, tearing off a piece of paper and folding it into a frog. He said proudly, "I can also make a ring with dandelions! Isn't that amazing?"
At that time, Yi Yan was thinking about escaping from this place. He chatted with the other party casually, but his mind was not on the conversation at all.
Perhaps noticing his perfunctory attitude, the boy quickly became quiet again. After a while, he turned his head and said, "Don't even think about it. I've tried, and you can't escape."
Later, he escaped and learned how to fold a frog out of paper and how to make a ring out of a dandelion. Yi Yan didn't think too much on his way back, but when he arrived in front of the wind tunnel laboratory, he couldn't help but hesitate -
By doing this, would it trigger Gu Liang's dark memories from the past?
And when he saw the intimate interaction between Zhuge Xiao and the black-haired young man, the anger and bitterness in his heart reached its peak.
He couldn't help but wonder, to Gu Liangyi, was he just an old friend who couldn't bear to look back on the past, and was Zhuge Xiao the one who could bring him happiness and a future?
Zhuge Xiao hugged his arms tightly, looked around sensitively, and murmured:
"I sensed murderous intent. Is it an illusion?"
Yan Beichen's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, aren't you usually very good at reading people's expressions? How come you are blind now? Don't you see that Brother Yi's eyes are so cold that they are about to pierce you into a sieve?
"Brother Yi, since you are here, let's go to the research institute to help." Yan Beichen grabbed Zhuge Xiao by the collar and said hello to Yi Yan. He turned to Zong Qinyuan and Gu Liang and said, "Principal Zong, Fourth Brother, we are leaving first."
"What are you doing? I want to see if the sword can fly!"
Zhuge Xiao was still yelling, but Yan Beichen covered his mouth with his hand: "When you figure out that even pigs can fly, shut up!"
Academician Tang Jingming noticed the commotion here. He frowned and said, "What's the point of making so much noise in the lab? Get out if you can't help!"
After saying that, he unceremoniously kicked Zong Qinyuan and the others out of the wind tunnel laboratory, completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who had asked Gu Liangyi and several other undergraduate students from the Tang class to visit the experiment.
Zong Qinyuan knew that he was just like that, so he didn't get angry when he was kicked out. He just smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to the principal's office. Gu Liang, you and Yi should go check on Zhou Ming for me to see how he's recovering."
Zhou Ming's physical condition is related to their relationship with Zhou Qingzi. To put it more broadly, it is related to the relationship between Mo Da and Lin Shenzong.
So over the past few days, several school doctors have taken meticulous care of him. They have also sent any equipment, medicines and supplements the command center has provided without hesitation. In addition, Zhou Ming has a strong recovery ability, and most of his wounds have already scabbed over.
"What happened to your foot?"
But on the way to the temporary ward, Gu Liang noticed that Yi Yan's walking posture was not right and immediately asked.
"It's okay, I just twisted it." Yi Yan said lightly.
His eyes were looking straight ahead, his left hand still in his pocket, his palm already damp.
Gu Liangyi stared at his left hand: "What's wrong with your left hand? Why don't you take it out?"
"……No."
The black-haired young man's expression suddenly turned cold. He stopped and stood still. Yi Yan paused for a moment and could only turn around and look at him: "Why don't you leave?"
Gu Liangyou snorted coldly, suddenly took a step forward, and pulled Yi Yan's wrist out of his pocket.
Caught off guard, Yi Yan was unable to react, or rather, he could never be on guard in front of Gu Liang.
Then, the dandelion ring that he had been holding on his fingertips until the hair was almost gone appeared in the sight of the two.
Gu Liangyou: “…………”
He stared at the dandelion ring and raised his head in disbelief: "No, are you a three-year-old child? You kept hiding it just now and I thought you were injured. It turns out that it was because of this thing?"
Yi Yan pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyes began to flicker and his ears turned slightly red.
"I just did it for fun."
He coughed, put the ring back into his pocket as if nothing had happened, rubbed it for a while, but in the end he couldn't bear to throw it away.
"Is it not possible?"
Gu Liangyou looked at his stubborn expression and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Really?" He looked away calmly, as if casually saying, "I thought it was for me."
After saying that, he stepped forward.
Yi Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then quickened his pace to catch up, his breathing gradually becoming rapid: "What... do you mean?"
"Freedom of conviction."
"As a science and engineering student, your conditions and questions are not clear. How can I know the answer based on my own conviction?" Yi Yan limped after him. It was rare for him to say such a long string of words. His tone was at least 1.2 times faster than usual. It seemed that he was really anxious. "Gu Liangyi, you can't do this. You have to make your words clear!"
He grabbed the black-haired young man's shoulders and tried to make him stop.
Gu Liangyou did stop, but when he turned around and looked at Yi Yan, Yi Yan realized that he had been holding back his laughter.
"…………" Yi Yan's tone lowered, with a hint of complaint, "You are teasing me again."
"Yeah, I think it's fun to tease you," Gu Liangyou raised his eyebrows and said provocatively, "So, do you want to hit me? It's a pity that you can't beat me now."
Yi Yan raised his eyelids to look at him, then lowered his eyes weakly, looking like a big cat that was drenched by the rain and was distraught.
"As long as you are happy." He sighed.
He didn't want to talk to Gu Liang anymore and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly grabbed his hand again and forcefully snatched the ring from Yi Yan.
"I taught you so many times before you learned it. You are so stupid."
The black-haired young man said softly, put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, glanced at the sun, and blew a breath casually.
The white dandelions were blown away by the wind, leaving only rings made of thin dandelion stems.
“It’s ugly.”
Yi Yan stared with wide eyes at the young man's back as he walked away in a leisurely manner. It was as if his feet had taken root and were firmly held in place by some invisible force.
He stood there, breathing rapidly, his blood flowing backwards, his temples throbbing, and his mind filled with only one sentence -
Did Gu Liang do it on purpose?
