Chapter 186 Adaptation



Xia Lunong was stunned for a moment.

He didn't quite hear what the visitor said.

Or rather, he didn't understand what the visitor said, what did he mean by the wheat seedlings in the field growing much faster than those in the Spark Base?

The visitor ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of him.

When he was in front of him, Xia Lunong realized that this person was a young assistant in Bailou, named Xie Kangjie, who usually followed Yan Mingqing. Xia Lunong had seen him several times, so he looked familiar.

Xia Lunong grabbed him and said suspiciously to his face: "What did you say? Say it again? What's wrong with the wheat seedlings?"

Xie Kangjie's face flushed with excitement, and he gestured with saliva flying, "It's hard to explain, you'll know when you go and take a look."

Xia Lunong subconsciously took a step forward.

Kong Zhi grabbed his wrist, "There's no rush now. Let's go inside and have a drink of water and something to eat before we go

." Xie Kangjie's lips moved, and he was about to say something when he met Kong Zhi's eyes. He took a step back unconsciously and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, you can take a break for two minutes and then go."

"Hey, did you forget something?" The cactus shook its petals at this and that, shaking its petals anxiously, "Didn't you agree to place me?"

Xia Lunong looked down and said, "No, I'll place you right now, wait a moment."

Xie Kangjie then realized that there was a pot of talking cactus in front of them, and a frightened expression appeared on his face.

Xia Lunong smiled at him soothingly.

Xie Kangjie looked a little dazed, and then he remembered the rumors about this person.

This person's position in the base is so high, not just because he has a powerful brother.

Kong Zhi said to the visitor: "Let's go over and take a look later."

Xie Kangjie touched his nose and said, "Okay, I'll go over first and won't bother you. Remember to come over later, no matter how late it is, our Professor Yan will be waiting there."

Xia Lunong followed his words and said apologetically: "Then please wait a little longer, we will go over in an hour."

After Xie Kangjie delivered the message, he ran back.

Xia Lunong looked at his energetic figure from behind, then turned to Kong Zhi and said, "It seems that the new batch of young people in Bai Lou are quite proactive. They are also very passionate about this industry."

Kong Zhi raised his eyelids and took a look. "The treatment in Bai Lou is so good, it's normal for them to be proactive."

Xia Lunong smiled and nudged him with her elbow, then stretched out her right arm, put her arm around his shoulder, and said with a sly smile, "Student Kong Zhi, do you have any opinion about them?"

Xia Lunong was shorter than Kong Zhi, so she had to tiptoe quietly to put her arm around his shoulder.

Seeing how hard he was trying to gather the money, Kong Zhi raised his arms and held him in his arms. "Why should I be jealous of this guy? I just think he's a little tactless."

The cactus in front of them was shaking its petals. Just as it was about to speak, Kong Zhi lowered his head and glanced at it. "Even the cactus is more tactful than him."

Cactus: "..."

The tactful cactus didn't say anything, not daring to disturb them.

Xia Lunong smiled and took out the key from the side of her backpack. "Let's go inside first."

There was food, vegetables, water and tea at home. It seemed that the two brothers had expected them to come back today and had prepared them in advance.

Xia Lunong poured a large cup of tea for herself and Kong Zhi, drank it all in one breath, and felt refreshed.

After finishing his tea, Xia Lunong did not hesitate. He went to the kitchen to get a basket of ash, took a shovel, and went to the yard to plant the cactus.

He picked up the shovel, scanned the yard, and said to the cactus, "According to the principle of first come, first served, you can choose a place by yourself. As long as it is empty, you can try anywhere."

Now it is spring, and the greenhouses in the yard have been dismantled. Now the whole yard is empty. Except for a corner planted with roses, there are no other plants.

Xia Lunong manages the yard well, and there are no weeds in the yard.

The dark soil is turned up, and it looks very fertile.

As a plant, the cactus simply cannot resist such soil.

The two flowers on the top of the cactus turned around and took a fancy to the land next to the rose. The flower pointed and said, "I want that!"

Xia Lunong didn't expect it to choose such a Feng Shui treasure land. She coughed lightly, picked up the cactus, and went over there with a shovel.

The rose couldn't speak. Xia Lunong walked close to it and was able to receive the chemicals it secreted before the two sides spoke.

The first sentence the rose said was gloomy, "Not bad, I have a new favorite."

Xia Lunong pinched the tip of its leaves and said with a smile in front of the cactus, "Let's get to know each other first. Even if there is a cactus, I will definitely prefer you now."

The cactus had obviously heard of this person's reputation. After hearing what Xia Lunong said, the cactus petals shook for a while, and didn't say a word.

Rose proudly raised her branches and shook them towards the cactus, a provocative gesture.

The cactus remained as quiet as a quail, which was very tactful.

Rose did not expect the new guy to be so tactful and was quickly appeased.

Seeing that Rose had relaxed a little, Xia Lunong smiled and said to her, "Now let me ask for your opinion. Is it okay to plant the cactus next to you?"

Rose snorted, "You brought it here, and I say no, what's the use?"

"If you really say no, I'll persuade it to choose another place."

Rose snorted again, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Xia Lunong dug a deep pit about two meters away from Rose, poured plant ash into it, and filled most of the soil back, and then planted the cactus.

The roots of the cactus have been stuck in the flowerpot for a long time. The entire flowerpot is filled with its roots.

Xia Lunong took it out and gently placed it in the pit. Its long-curled roots suddenly spread out, drilling in all directions, shaking the flowers, and sighing comfortably. "After being stuck for so long, I finally feel comfortable."

Xia Lunong smiled, "It will be more comfortable in the future. I will water you today so you can get used to it. If you are not used to it, you can tell me tomorrow."

The cactus said, "It's already very good here." Kong

Zhi packed up the things they brought back and came out with a bucket of water, "Water the cactus first?"

"Yes." Xia Lunong said, "You water it, I'll use my supernatural powers on the summer pepper and rose."

Xia Lunong planted new plants, and he certainly would not neglect the existing plants at home.

He walked around the yard, watering when necessary, fertilizing when necessary, and using his supernatural powers when necessary, and he treated all the plants equally, not even the proud roses had any objections.

Kong Zhi came back from watering, looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, let's go check on the wheat."

Xia Lunong watched him lock the door and followed him, "To be honest, I find it a little hard to imagine how our wheat is growing now. In terms of growth speed, it shouldn't be faster than last year."

Last year's wheat was only the first generation, and he used a lot of supernatural powers, so the wheat he grew should be the best.

Yan Mingqing and the others had already seen last year's wheat, so why were they so excited about this year's wheat?

Xia Lunong went to the wheat field in the base with Kong Zhi with doubts.

There were five or six people working in the wheat field, including Yan Mingqing and Xie Kangjie.

Xie Kangjie had been looking at the roadside for so long when he finally saw their figures appear. He shouted excitedly, "Brother Xia and the others are here!"

Yan Mingqing walked up to him quickly and said, "Xiao Nong, Kong Zhi, come over to the wheat field and take a look."

Xia Lunong looked at the wheat field from a distance and didn't notice anything different. He asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the wheat?"

"Nothing's wrong, it's growing exceptionally well!" Yan Mingqing said, "Last year's wheat fell over badly because of its heavy leaves and thin stems. Look at this year's wheat!"

Xia Lunong looked closely and found that this year's wheat had not fallen over at all. Each plant stood in the wheat field like tall poplar trees.

Xia Lunong was surprised, "This wheat is okay? Has the 'stem' adapted to the current condition of the leaves?"

"Yes!" Yan Mingqing said excitedly, "That's what I wanted to say. The wheat doesn't need our excessive guidance or crossbreeding adjustment. It has adapted slowly on its own!"

Xia Lunong entered the wheat field and carefully examined each plant.

Yan Mingqing said excitedly, "The most amazing thing is that it has not lost its previous advantages at all! It grows faster and better than the wheat at the Fire Seed Base!"

Xia Lunong checked carefully and said, "You are too optimistic. We can only know the quality of this batch of wheat after it produces ears of wheat."

Yan Mingqing nodded, "That's true, but I have studied wheat for so many years, I know what good wheat looks like without waiting for it to produce ears of wheat."

Xia Lunong smiled, "I don't know how this wheat will turn out in the end, but it will definitely not be too bad. Thank you for your hard work recently."

"It's not hard, we get paid for this job." Yan Mingqing said, "I invited you here to take a look at the current condition of this wheat field and see if you have any findings or suggestions."

Xia Lunong shook her head, "After all, I'm not a professional, and I grow wheat based on my intuition. I feel that this batch of wheat is growing well and full of vitality. I don't have any special suggestions."

After hearing what he said, Xie Kangjie and others straightened their backs quietly, looking proud.

Seeing how they looked, Xia Lunong said, "This batch of wheat is growing well. Thank you all for your hard work in the coming period. If we can grow a stable and high-yield wheat, the base will definitely celebrate."

A young man behind Xie Kangjie raised his hand and said, "Celebrate or not, we will grow this batch of wheat well for the sake of all mankind!"

Xia Lunong also said seriously, "For the sake of all mankind!"

Yan Mingqing felt a little embarrassed and reached out to pat the shoulder of the student behind him, but his wrinkles were filled with relief.

Xia Lunong said, "It's too late today, and I can't see anything. I'll come over tomorrow morning to take a look. After I finish, we'll have a meeting tomorrow morning. Professor Yan, is that okay?"

Yan Mingqing nodded quickly, "No problem. After you finish reading the wheat, please help me take a look at something else to see if you have any opinions or suggestions. You are welcome to guide our work."

Xia Lunong smiled, "Okay, then I'll take a look at something else and if there are any points that need attention, I'll tell you directly."

Xie Kangjie shouted behind Yan Mingqing, "No problem, just tell us directly and we can bear it."

He said this and everyone laughed.
