Qin Lin really hadn't expected Elder Brother Li to pull this on him.
He was so startled that he frantically tried to recall whether the book on comprehensive crop gene experiments he'd learned from the special stone tablet last time contained any experiments on rice cultivation.
Some memories surfaced. Rice research was one of the most important areas of crop research, and the book did contain quite a few experiments on rice.
If necessary, he could bluff his way through.
Otherwise, he'd be screwed.
But he'd already decided not to accept any interviews or talk to anyone.
If someone actually came to question him, it wouldn't take much to expose him. One serious question, and he'd be found out.

That wouldn't do.
Next time, he'd make sure to pin the blame on him so he wouldn't get a chance to pass it back.
By then, countless people were watching the live broadcast of Professor Li Kai's experimental report.
When they heard it straight from Li Kai that the achievement had been developed by Xiao Qin, all they felt was admiration.
Someone who hadn't studied a related field had managed to cultivate a crop that national research institutions had given up on, simply through self-study and guidance from Professor Li Kai.
"Impressive" didn't begin to describe it. He was unbelievably impressive.
Seeing the photo of Xiao Qin crouching down, completely absorbed in examining the rice seeds, somehow filled them with admiration.
"I never used to believe in geniuses. Now I do."
"If there's a monster in this world, I think Xiao Qin is one!"
"Xiao Qin wasted his education, and so did I!"
"I studied crop science, and I feel like I wasted my
