Hybrid Spirit Rice Project

"Wanting, you're dressed up so beautifully. Going out tonight? Take me with you?"

In the agricultural university girls' dormitory, Xiao Xiao from the upper bunk poked her head out. She pushed aside her bangs with her small, chubby hands, which were covered in potato chip crumbs, revealing two oily cheeks and a partially obscured face.

Chen Wanting applied lipstick to her soft, red lips.

Bo~

Her lips met, turning a vibrant, true red, fresh and glistening.

Her entire being seemed to brighten.

"I can't take you today~ I have important business."

"Are you going shopping? Help me bring back a few bags of chips."

"Shopping? You could say that. I plan to clear out my shopping cart."

"Then can you add a Lay's Gift Pack to my cart for me?"

"Depends on my mood~"

Chen Wanting, carrying her small bag, gracefully walked out of the dormitory. Her elegant figure and beautiful clothes made countless ordinary girls from average families envious.

Some girls who weren't wearing makeup weren't necessarily worse than Chen Wanting, but once she dressed up, the difference was like night and day.

With just a touch of light makeup, she was already a stunner on campus. It was no wonder Yang Genshuo surrendered so quickly back then, unable to resist her for more than a few moments.

It was like a very popular question online.

Girl: "I heard that if a girl with even a little bit of looks actively pursues you guys, boys can't help themselves?"

Boy: "I'm different from them. I can't help myself even with ugly girls."

It sounded like a joke, but there was some truth to it.

A few girls from the next dormitory said sourly, "Dressed up so provocatively, she doesn't look like a student at all. Who knows where she's going, hmph~"

"Look at her coat, it makes me so jealous. I tried it on when I was shopping last time but couldn't bring myself to buy it. It's a designer piece, over 2000 yuan!"

"Huh? Didn't she apply for financial aid as a poor student in her first year? This spending? Shouldn't we report her?"

"She stopped applying for financial aid long ago, what are you going to report? Ever since she found some sugar daddy, Cinderella has transformed into a little princess and was immediately hailed as the campus belle by those obnoxious guys."

"Tch~ No matter how she dresses up, she can't compare to Liu Anhe in their dorm. She's like a lotus emerging from clear water~"

"It's enough if you can compare to her, you're just jealous."

"Ahhh~ I'm going to kill you!"

"Mmm~ Don't touch that! Annoying!"

Beautiful and bold girls like Chen Wanting were never short of attention.

"Crazy."

Yang Genshuo rolled his eyes, directly ignoring Chen Wanting's message and disabling the notification for her WeChat binding to his bank card.

Then he went to the bank to repay his loan, quickly completing the process.

"40,000 yuan left, should I buy some things for Yang Shi?"

Currently, Yang Shi was his cash cow. As long as Yang Shi could lead the Yang family to continue developing, he would have plenty of ways to cash out in the future.

"Last time I was in a hurry to deliver supplies, I swept the supermarket and wasted a lot of money. This time I'll order directly from JD."

Next-day delivery was quite reliable.

On the way home by taxi, Yang Genshuo browsed the mall and saw the recommended compressed biscuits.

His heart stirred slightly, and he recalled the Ge family from the Cultivation World sending people to search for the recipe.

"Why do cultivators want this thing? What's special about it?"

Most of Yang Genshuo's current understanding of the rules and knowledge of the Cultivation World came from Liao Cao's mouth. Liu Wuhen had also mentioned a sentence or two when teaching Yang Shi.

"I know that cultivators, like mortals, have to eat. But whether it's the lowest Fetal Breath stage, Qi Refining Immortals, or even Foundation Establishment mighty figures, they all eat Spirit Food. Absorbing spiritual energy from food is also part of cultivation."

The progress speed of cultivators who ate Spirit Food and those who didn't differed significantly.

Therefore, he understood even less why the Ge family from the Cultivation World was interested in this item.

"Could it be that they want to make it themselves and sell it for money? It doesn't make sense. With 20 jin of Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat, they could sell it for 20,000 Silver Liang. Yang Shi only earns that much by selling 2,000 packs of compressed biscuits."

"I don't get it."

Yang Genshuo vaguely felt that his understanding of cultivators was flawed.

"I won't sell these Grain-abstinence Biscuits for now. Let's get some milk tea, coffee, candy, and the like. They're cheap, come in large quantities, and are delicious."

After placing the order, the driver had already taken him to his doorstep.

Ding ding ding~

Cheng Bo called.

"Master, don't leave yet."

The DiDi driver rejoiced. The fare from the city to the suburbs was a full 40 yuan. If he could go back to the city, it would be wonderful.

"Godfather, take me to get a foot massage again, please, I'll pay!"

"Is the medicinal potency acting up again?"

"Yeah."

"A few hammer blows will take care of it. I'm busy."

"Damn it! I'm afraid of hurting my hands. What kind of medicine is this? I've never heard of Chinese medicine being this potent! One dose lasts two days? If this stuff went global, it could immediately create a Fortune Global 500 pharmaceutical group."

"Stop talking nonsense. Just eat it yourself, get some exercise, and sweat it out. I'm hanging up now."

"Don't, don't, don't! I have something important to discuss."

"Go ahead."

"Those few stalks of rice you gave me, I need the original soil they grew in. I need to test the components before I can prepare the culture medium."

"Oh, then come over tomorrow to get it. By the way, the yield of this type of rice is very low, only 430 jin per mu. Are there any ways to increase the yield?"

Yang Shi harvested the first batch of spirit rice last year.

If these spirit rice were sold, they could fetch 21 Low-grade Spirit Stones, which would be equivalent to 420,000 taels of silver.

Keep in mind that Zhao Kuangfeng, a Half-step Innate Grandmaster, only had 5 Low-grade Spirit Stones saved up. These seemed like a lot.

But these 430 jin of spirit rice weren't even enough for Yang Shi and Jiang Xiaobai to eat.

Both of them had large appetites and ate 2 jin of spirit rice daily.

After offering 10 jin of spirit rice to Yang Genshuo, the remaining amount was only enough for them to eat for 210 days.

Not even a full year, let alone saving some to exchange for spirit stones or money.

This was for one mu of spirit rice that had been watered with spirit rain for a year and meticulously cared for!

It was unreasonable that it couldn't even feed two people.

Cheng Bo on the other end of the phone said, "Mmm, I noticed that too. The rice stalks have fewer grains, and the grains aren't full enough. It's a standard low-yield Wild Rice Variety. But it's not a big problem. Our Hybrid Breeding technology is very mature now. Once I get the soil from you, I can perform new Hybrid Breeding on it. Doubling the yield shouldn't be a problem."

"Double?!"

Yang Genshuo almost thought the Phone Earpiece was broken.

"Double, yes. Doubling 430 jin only makes it 1290 jin, which is just average. Do you know what the yield of our country's most advanced Hybrid Rice can reach per mu?"

"Hmm?"

"2500 jin!"

"Damn! No wonder the online atmosphere has been so bad lately!"

"Huh?"

"Everyone's too full! Alright, alright, you go exercise first, I'm busy."

"Godfather. Are you really not going for a foot massage?"

"Get lost!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Genshuo saw the DiDi driver lowering his car window and looking at him expectantly.

"What? Not taking orders anymore? Made enough money?"

Then he slammed the door shut with a bang.

DiDi Driver: "?"

He drove away, cursing.

Yang Genshuo really didn't have time to take Cheng Bo for a foot massage now, he still had so many Offerings at home to eat!
