Although interstellar society is advanced, it has a strict social hierarchy that divides people into different classes, making it difficult to cross this boundary.
Although Fenghen was reluctant to part with his sister, he couldn't be so selfish as to keep her by his side.
"Sister, I support you. It's great that you're pursuing your dreams."
"When I make money in the future, I'll definitely build you a farm, so you can have your own laboratory."
"Okay, sister, I'm waiting for you to build me a lab."
Xiao Li packed her few belongings, said goodbye to Feng Hen, and boarded the flying car to the farm.
The transportation in this world uses a new type of energy, allowing it to fly along fixed flight paths, greatly reducing people's travel time.
An hour later, Xiaoli arrived at the famous farm.
After completing the onboarding procedures, Xiaoli was assigned a small room.
After calling her younger brother to let him know she was safe, Xiaoli started looking at her work notes.
A thick little booklet, filled with requirements and things to pay attention to, all of which she needed to remember.
"Master, I've granted you some online access. You can now freely view materials, including those for practicing combat—it's completely safe."
Xiao Li praised with satisfaction, "Tongzi, you are indeed very useful."
"Of course."
Xiao Li looked at the vial of nutrient solution the farm had given her; it was a pale, transparent liquid with no noticeable smell.
She poured a little into her mouth, and a surge of energy spread through her stomach, instantly creating a feeling of fullness.
This is somewhat similar to the Bigu Pill, but it doesn't taste as good. You know, after Xiao Li learned how to make pills, she has already incorporated various fruit juices into the Bigu Pill and made many bottles of different flavors for later use.
There are no gourmet foods in this world; selling them would definitely be very profitable.
However, the world has strict control over food sources, so it takes some effort to sell them.
After a good night's sleep, Xiaoli went to the laboratory early in the morning. Although it was called a farm, the land area was not very large.
Most crops require cultivation, and each plant is very precious.
Xiao Li's job is to carefully observe and record the growth cycle and process of plants in detail.
She also did all the odd jobs, including changing the potting soil, watering, catching insects, and weeding.
"You're the new planting apprentice?"
This is Professor Min Yu, the dean.
"Hello, Professor, I am Feng Li."
"You should have already read yesterday's 'Work Precautions,' so I won't go into detail about those. Just follow me today."
"Okay, Professor."
Xiao Li watched as Min Yu tended to the plants; these would be her job from now on.
"Looking at your resume, you have a wealth of work experience. Now, can you identify the cause of this cotton plant's disease?"
Min Yu frowned. This cotton grass had been sick for a long time and had not improved. It was really worrying.
Xiao Li carefully observed with her divine sense and discovered that inside this lush green grass were tiny insect eggs, and some slightly larger insects crawling inside.
"This cotton grass must be infested with pests and diseases. The veins inside its leaves have been bitten off by insects, preventing it from absorbing nutrients, which is why it has withered."
Min Yu picked a leaf, sliced it, and sent it to a high-powered microscope for careful observation.
Just as Xiaoli had said, there were already signs of insects inside.
"You're very good. Such tiny insects are absolutely impossible to spot without a microscope. How did you manage to do that?"
Min Yu carefully examined the ordinary girl in front of him, thinking that she must have some extraordinary qualities to stand out among so many applicants.
"Look here, the black stuff on the leaves is insect droppings, and here, there are tiny tooth marks, also from insect bites."
Min Yu nodded in satisfaction; he had finally found a capable apprentice.
"From now on, you'll be my assistant. Just follow me."
Xiao Li was overjoyed; her promotion was so smooth, it was an unexpected delight.
"Thank you for your guidance, Professor. I will continue to work hard."
Min Yu stopped speaking and instead carefully observed and recorded the details, providing a suitable cultivation plan.
It was quite an interesting day at work.
To achieve success on the farm, she needs more authority.
Therefore, she specifically applied to the professor for a small plot of land for cultivation and chose two relatively common crops from the farm to cultivate.
One is grapes, and the other is apples.
These two crops are both ordinary and extraordinary. Grapes can not only be eaten but also used to make wine, and apples can be developed into many varieties.
The two seedlings were still very small, and Xiaoli had to sign a lot of contracts and documents before she could get them.
Xiao Li first used her spiritual power to nurture them before planting them in the petri dish.
The seedlings absorbed nutrients and grew very quickly. Xiao Li discovered that after absorbing energy from the air, they mutated, which is why crops cannot be grown in the interstellar era.
The energy in the air is too violent; even humans have mutated, let alone plants.
What Xiaoli needs to do is intervene in these mutations and make them normal.
Xiao Li suddenly wondered if it was possible to help them adapt to this violent energy. Since humans can turn energy into their own and become superhumans.
What about plants? Could they produce mutated fruits that are beneficial to humans, especially to those with superpowers?
This is a good research direction, and Xiao Li became excited.
She began to study the energy in the air, what caused the plants to mutate, what kind of energy could promote plant growth, and what kind of energy could make plants become aggressive. All of these needed to be verified one by one.
Xiao Li conducted experiments day and night on the farm. She could cultivate more seedlings in the space, so she was not afraid of failure at all.
After countless trials, Xiaoli finally confirmed it.
m energy makes plants aggressive, x energy makes plants grow faster, and S energy makes plants palatable and replenishes their supernatural abilities.
This is a major breakthrough, and if it can be applied to all plants, it will be a remarkable achievement.
Min Yu stared at the two thriving plants in the experimental field, speechless for a long time.
What kind of monster did he recruit this time, that he was able to figure out this unsolvable problem?
"I will report this to the nation. This achievement belongs to you. Congratulations, you will become an unprecedented and great pioneer in the history of the empire."
Xiao Li accepted it calmly. Although the superhumans in this world had strong mental power and could use mechs to cause enormous destruction, they still couldn't extract, categorize, and utilize the energy in the air.
Xiao Li became a professor at Hope Farm, and her upgrade speed was unprecedentedly fast.
The Empire indeed valued this achievement highly. When Xiao Li expressed her desire to pursue further studies, the First Mecha Academy extended an olive branch to her, hiring her as a special teacher in the academy's agricultural department.
