"Boss, this is my first time in the wasteland. The scenery is pretty good."
The wasteland of the capital planet is not barren; on the contrary, it is lush with vegetation, with green plants everywhere you look.
"Not bad?" Anhe rolled her eyes twice. "It's obvious you weren't paying attention in class. Take a good look at the plants around you. Don't they look familiar?"
"Familiar?" Ruan Zhenyue was a little confused. "Why do you look familiar?"
Lian Han said quietly, "That one next to you is a carnivorous creature, similar to a Venus flytrap, but it eats exotic beasts and humans."
Lian Han's main purpose in coming to the wasteland last time was to rescue people, so he didn't really take a close look at the place. This time, after looking at it carefully, he suddenly understood why they had added heterophyte courses to their botany curriculum in their third year.
One-third of the plants in front of me were exotic plants that I had talked about in class, one-third were mentioned in the library’s collection, and the last third were ordinary plants, which may also include exotic plants that I don’t recognize.
The wilderness is dangerous; this is no joke.
"And the little white flower that Senior Jiang has looks like a dandelion in a botanical garden, right? It's called a parasitic flower. When the wind blows, the seeds spread everywhere, specifically seeking out organisms to parasitize, sucking their blood and nutrients, and then blooming a new one," An He added from the side.
Fatty Ruan: ?!
The chubby guy felt his scalp tingle and dared not move. He looked to Lian Han for help, "Boss, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
“Don’t worry, the beast-catching plant is a nocturnal eater and won’t be active during the day,” Lian Han said. “And the parasitic flower, that thing is scary, but it has to be mature first. And once beasts and humans see it, they usually won’t allow it to mature. Otherwise, do you think Xiao Rui is just playing around with a flower?”
"Oh, I see." Fatty Ruan chuckled awkwardly. "Boss, how did you guys know all this? I've never heard of it before?"
Lian Han raised an eyebrow, "You have absolutely no recollection of this?"
The fat man shook his head.
An He and Lian Han exchanged a glance, then approached, rubbing their hands together, "Tell me, how did you pass your final exams?"
"I've taken the exam."
"You passed the exam, so if you didn't fail, how could you not know the common exotic plants in the exotic plant class? Who are you trying to fool!"
Fatty: "...Um, well, the weather's really nice today. Jiang, when are we going to see the Black Prison Bee's nest?"
At this point, Lian Han still couldn't see that there was something fishy about his final exam results, so she had been partnered with him for two years for nothing. But a summer had already passed, and she was partnered with him again, so there was no need for her to keep dwelling on this matter.
So he said, "Find out the 'Complete Book of Exotic Plants.' I don't expect you to know it by heart, but at least you have to identify which ones are dangerous, how dangerous they are, and which ones aren't. Just please don't accidentally kill us."
"Exactly. Strange plants are most common in the wasteland. You better watch out."
Fatty: "...Boss, actually, it would be great if my family also had an escort mission. Could we take this back? Let Squad Two go and investigate?"
“Anything can happen in dreams.” Lian Han shook his head. “Xiao Rui, remember to make sure he reads for an hour when he’s resting tonight.”
"Okay, sister."
Fatty Ruan was on the verge of tears. All he did was sleep in a little longer during his academic class. Why was he being treated like this?
An He grinned and leaned closer, asking, "Fatty, how did you pass? Diluo's exams are known for being the strictest. Didn't you get caught cheating?"
"Why couldn't it be me who had the school system hacked?"
Anhe immediately gave him a look that said, "Impossible. Are you stupid? Dilu is the best school in the Federation. It's been under the watchful eye of the Skynet mastermind for a long time. How can a hacker operate without being detected? Unless you can hack into the mastermind."
Fatty Ruan: ...Why does he suddenly feel like he's so stupid?
"That's not right, I just asked someone to give me the school website."
These words immediately startled Lian Han and the other two. "Are you sure?"
“I’m sure.” Fatty Ruan was extremely certain. “He’s the one who hacked my websites every year, otherwise I would have dropped out of school long ago.”
Or is he a repeat offender?
Now it was their turn to be dumbfounded. Given the Federation's emphasis on Dilo, the academy's official website had always been monitored by the Skynet mainframe, and no one could touch it.
It's common sense that the official website of Dilu Academy shouldn't be hacked, okay?
Who helped you?
"have no idea."
"You don't know him, so why would he help you?"
"Pay up. It costs a lot of money every time."
Lian Han and the other two exchanged glances, and Lian Han spoke up: "Give me his contact information later, and I'll have someone check it out."
"Why are you investigating him? You're not going to report me, are you? Boss, I'm your brother, you can't stab your brother in the back!"
Lian Han: "...What are you thinking? We're just curious, wanting to see who has such amazing abilities. Who would be so bored as to report you?"
"That's good, that's good." The fat man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Han, I'm sorry," An He suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
"I should have vetted your partner better when you were choosing them. Their skills are passable, but what's wrong with their brains? Have they gotten waterlogged?"
"How did I get water in my body? I clearly—humph!"
The fat man was annoyed and fell behind the three of them, unwilling to talk to them.
"Alright, stop joking around." Lian Han slapped An He on the shoulder and said irritably, "Focus on getting on the road."
The ground was too difficult to step on, so the four of them moved forward by using the hovering rollers to maintain a certain height above the ground, which allowed them to move at a relatively fast speed...
"Be careful of your surroundings," Jiang Chenrui suddenly stopped and said.
