Chapter 43 Just lie down on the ground and that’s it.
"Suddenly—"

Under the gloomy sky, an old tricycle drove to the wall of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and stopped, its trachea still smoking.

An old lady in her sixties and two old men, one tall and one short, got out of the car.

The three of them all held several empty grass-green woven bags in their hands.

The walls of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are equipped with wires to prevent climbing.

The old lady waved to the two old men domineeringly: "Come on!"

Both of them took out pliers and cut the wire apart skillfully.

The old lady looked at the two men clamping the wire with her face on her hands: "It's really troublesome to open the clamp last time and install a new one so soon."

She pursed her lips and muttered: "If you install it, it will still be opened by clamps. It's better not to install it. What's wrong with taking something from such a large piece of land?"

After the anti-theft wire was clamped open, the old lady took the lead, climbed over the fence very quickly, and then went to the cornfield.

"Hurry up!"

The old lady waved her hand: "This land is planted with high-yielding corn that is being experimentally studied. It's okay if we steal a few bags!"

She chatted and drank at the entrance of the village every day, and it was not for nothing. She got a lot of information, and she was well-informed!
One of the short old men looked at the experimental label on the corn stalk: "Mrs. Zhang, I heard that this is a scientific research base of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Isn't it bad for us to steal corn like this?"

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips confidently: "Isn't their Academy of Agricultural Sciences doing scientific research just to benefit us people? What if we get some corn in advance?"

Another tall old man echoed Mrs. Zhang: "I heard that those who do scientific research get a lot of kickbacks. Let's get some corn. It's not a big deal."

Mrs. Zhang had already taken the lead. While picking corn, she said, "The color of this corn is quite special! It looks very nutritious at first glance!"

When Mrs. Zhang said this, the short old man looked hesitant: "I heard that the law is very strict now. It is illegal to steal things, and you have to go to jail, right?"

Mrs. Zhang looked dissatisfied: "What's so illegal about stealing a few corns? It would be unreasonable to send us to jail for stealing a few corns."

"We are old people, and they won't do anything to us!"

Mrs. Zhang pointed at the old man's nose and said, "Remember, your sister Zhang taught you: if something happens, just lie down on the ground!"

*
The Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences Base and Hunan Agricultural University are located relatively far from the city center. The bus drove for about half an hour and arrived at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences Base.

The guests in the car were drowsy at first, but when they heard that they were going to feed the pigs, they suddenly became energetic and prayed that they would not be assigned the task of feeding the pigs.

The guests got off the car and gathered at the gate of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

The gate of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is not very grand, but gives people a very simple feeling.

The stone tablet at the entrance is engraved with the three characters "Academy of Agricultural Sciences" in gold and faded colors. There are no tall buildings in the courtyard. If you didn't read the characters, you would have thought it was a parking lot.

As soon as I entered the gate and looked around, I saw endless fields. There were a few birds flying in the sky, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of soil after rain.

Two young researchers, a man and a woman, were already waiting for the guests at the entrance of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

The two researchers introduced themselves. The boy's name was Tang Mingxu, and the girl's name was Ran Zhi.

They are graduate students studying at the Agricultural University and also serve as scientific research assistants at the base.

Li Yaoxing glanced at the farmland in the distance: "I haven't seen such a vast field for a long time. It makes people feel comfortable."

Xu Yuewan took the initiative to chat with the scientific researchers: "Is there any difference between the crops grown here and the crops grown in ordinary fields?" He Na was wearing a straw hat and sunglasses: "I feel like it looks like a vegetable field, and now vegetables are sold. They don’t make much money anymore.”

The girl among the scientific researchers seemed more outgoing. She said with a smile: "The crops in our base are all new varieties that are being tested. Some are original species, but this is the only one."

"If the trial is successful, it can greatly improve the yield and quality of crops."

"So ours is not an ordinary vegetable plot. Sometimes a small piece of land has the potential to be worth tens of millions."

Xu Yuewan looked shocked: "I see, then your scientific researchers' papers are also supported by observations and records of these test objects?"

Ran Zhi's expression became serious as she spoke: "Yes, some of the labeled crops in the field are probably the graduation thesis of our senior brothers and sisters."

“Before, the pigs from the pig production base ran out of the pig production base and ate an original pepper seedling, causing one of our senior sisters to delay her graduation.”

"So when you are performing tasks in our base, you must be careful! Don't be ignorant of the importance."

When Ran Zhi said this, she walked towards Wen Xi, the only student in the team.

In the past three years since her debut, Wen Xi has had many reckless and idiotic performances on many programs.

As a star-chaser, Ran Zhi didn't miss any of Wen Xi's scandalous material or jokes.

What Ran Zhi is most worried about is that Wen Xi will do something wrong and harm their base.

"Do you understand?" Ran Zhi said this to Wen Xi.

However, Wen Xi was drowsy now. She heard who was talking next to her and nodded blankly.

Director Xu came on stage with a loudspeaker at this time: "We will allocate tasks now!"

"There are several tasks to choose from: A. Defending the corn base, B. Trial at the pig base, C. Agricultural University Pet Hospital"

Director Xu was reading the line card, and Wen Xi stretched. Before she could relax for a while, the system prompts sounded in her head:
"A new check-in task has been released: Please go to the corn planting base of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to check in!"

"Countdown, 5 minutes!"

"If the check-in fails, the host will face a day of bad luck."

Wen Xi was immediately frightened by the system's words. Why was the check-in time so tight this time, only 5 minutes?

Director Xu was still saying some sensational words, but the countdown in Wen Xi's mind suddenly only had 5 minutes left!

Wen Xi couldn't care less about the recording of the program at this time. There must be a reason for the system to do this!

She quickly grabbed Ran Zhi beside her: "Beauty, where is your corn base?!"

Ran Zhi was cursing in her heart when she was suddenly grabbed by Wen Xi. She looked panicked and thought she had just accidentally said something bad about Wen Xi.

After hearing Wen Xi's question, she answered: "The Corn Research Base is 2 kilometers straight away from the base path!"

"It's so far away, what's the fastest way to get there!"

Ran Zhi looked around and stopped at a bicycle on the side of the road.

"It seems like this is the only one!"

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Wen Xi rushed directly to the old-fashioned Phoenix bicycle. She took a long step and pedaled away!
