CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 27: FARMING TOOLS (PART 2)

Zhang Yiyi listened and then got up, picked up the helicopter remote control, and started to fiddle with it. She couldn’t operate it, and the little helicopter, under her control, swayed from side to side, multiple times crashing into the robots on the ground.

Xiao Xian held her forehead; in fact, she wanted to say, she didn’t need a helicopter, isn’t there already a ready-made "airplane" Little White Jiao.

No instructions needed, no manual operation, just pulling out Jiao Scales will do.

"Bitter Beans, Tamarisk, Sea Buckthorn, Tamarisk, I don’t need so many plants, just these four," despite the commotion, serious matters must still be completed, Xiao Xian chose four species, "However, I have one condition, the plants that are grown here, belong to the Campus, but I demand that the fruits of the plants belong to me, this request isn’t excessive, is it?"

The provided plant species amounted to 100, but there was no clear indication of how many species had to be successfully grown, and while six months sounded difficult, Xiao Xian didn’t actually plan to spend a full six months on it.

Romeo One didn’t question but left behind four species of plants, and along with them, also a flat distribution map of zone C and a panoramic map of zone C, a high-level membership card for the material center provided by Romeo One. A set of combat training courses provided by Juliet.

After delivering the items, the seventeen robots Romeo neatly and orderly exited the dormitory, Romeo One didn’t leave with them.

"New student Zhu Xiaoxian, please be sure to complete this test. This test is very important." Xiao Xian thought her ears were deceiving her, how could she hear a hint of excitement from Romeo One’s electronic voice.

After the robots had left, Xiao Xian immediately spread out the flat map of zone C.

"Yiyi, for the next few days, you’ll have to take care of yourself. I may need to find a suitable place for planting in the desert, to start with experiments," Wang Shuai should come by from time to time, Xiao Xian planned to get a clear understanding of the various areas of zone C, and why plants cannot grow in zone C.

"What counts as a suitable place for planting?" Zhang Yiyi didn’t want to just lie there doing nothing.

"Places where the temperature difference is relatively low and the relative humidity is higher," Xiao Xian planned to start with that mysterious spring, but just one area was not enough.

"That’s simple, just leave it to me," Zhang Yiyi, still playing with the helicopter, agreed nonchalantly.

This time, Zhang Yiyi didn’t talk big, she did indeed find a suitable planting spot.

Time, like the sand in the desert, flowed smoothly. From the outskirts of the desert, the whole of zone C didn’t seem to have changed much, where there should be sand, there was still sand.

Only those small desert animals living in the belly of the desert or even deeper knew that zone C was quietly undergoing changes.

Wherever desert creatures come and go, there is abundant water vapor underground. Even without using Little White Jiao, the selected four plants had already started to germinate one after the other.

Xiao Xian still didn’t dare to use Little White Jiao directly in zone C. After the incident in the Spiritual Fruit Garden, many students from zone B and zone C began to move around. On the surface, they seemed to be acting as usual, but in secret, it was Xu Lan Ya and Ye Heng’s people checking on the situation.

Yiyi, on the other hand, showed no fear, after all, she had Wang Shuai as her protective umbrella, but after being reminded by Xiao Xian a few times, she also realized that under any circumstances, one must be able to protect oneself.

So she formally began the Intermediate Course, hoping to quickly discover other skills beyond "Mimicry and color change" and "tail-breaking life-saving."

"Eh, the position of this spring has changed again today," Xiao Xian had discovered that this mysterious spring could restore the Spiritual Energy that was lost due to cultivation, so she took Zhang Yiyi with her to look for the spring in the desert.

This spring, referred to by Zhang Yiyi as Farmer Spring, is very peculiar and changes location every now and then.

However, each time, Xiao Xian could accurately locate it due to the mutual response between the Silver Space Water in her body and the spring, which also greatly benefited Zhang Yiyi.

That day, Zhang Yiyi squatted by the shimmering spring, scooped up a mouthful of water, and took a sip, "It’s still as unpalatable."

This spring, originating from the desert, flowed day and night without interruption. Compared to the effects of Space Silver Water, it was somewhat inferior, but it was drinkable. The North Campus itself is abundant in Spiritual Energy, and with the Farmer Spring to irrigate, the growth of the four plants can be said to be a race against seconds.

"It was you who said this is the Farmer Spring from the material supply center, insisting every day on coming here to drink up," Xiao Xian, led by Zhang Yiyi, examined the few nearby suitable planting areas. The area around the spring, in particular, was ideal for planting.

"That’s right, it sells for two hundred a bottle in the materials center. If not for fear of being discovered, I was really planning to list it for sale on the alumni BBS," Zhang Yiyi washed her face, feeling refreshed. With only two months into the intermediate course, her body had undergone a strange transformation, influenced by the course and Farmer Spring.

Her body’s flexibility greatly increased, and her hearing improved as well. If she encountered another "sneak attack," she was confident she could avoid it.

Zhang Yiyi stared at her hands, feeling sentimental. Half a year ago, she was holding a basketball, thinking she would spend her whole life on the basketball court, and now...

The campus of Huake Institute is really magical. If not for that strange encounter in Chengde, she might never have been able to enter such a magical place.

Two months passed, and though it was the deep winter twelfth lunar month outside the Campus, zone C was still in the desert environment of extremely hot days and bitterly cold nights. On the several barren patches of sand in zone C, often, two busy figures could be seen.

"By the way, what’s that mysterious plant you’re personally responsible for picking and planting?" Zhang Yiyi pointed to the sapling Xiao Xian was currently irrigating.

"This is called Sea Buckthorn, it’s among the four plants, the hardest to survive. It’s better that I plant it. Once it survives, if carefully cultivated, it can live for dozens or even over a hundred years. After a while, these trees, will bring us even greater surprises," Xiao Xian took some water near her and watered the Sea Buckthorn sapling.(To be continued.
