Fox Has No Malicious Intent-Chapter 512 - 510: Xinxing Agricultural Science College Hideout
"What kind of class are you having?"
"Noisy is one thing, but with explosions too? Is this how agricultural students are supposed to behave?"
Ansheng, who had just fallen asleep but was awakened by the noise, lay sideways on the bed with a face full of frustration, mumbling complaints. However, the noise outside didn’t stop and even intensified.
"Those who don’t know might think you’re planting for the modern army (logistics soldiers) in training!"
The noise was so loud that the floorboards trembled. Ansheng was no longer concerned about the noise but worried about the building collapsing.
The noise levels right now were much greater than the series of rocket launches last night.
Ansheng jumped off the bed, a little curious, and ran to the balcony, sticking his head out along with Little Tea Tree and the American cockroach, looking out toward the campus.
To the left was the direction of the education building and the lake for School of Animal Science students to raise fish, surrounded by aquaculture students. Under the teacher’s guidance, about a dozen water pumps were operating with a "rumble," emptying the pond water.
Water trucks, filled with water, left one after another.
The "rumble" Ansheng heard earlier was the School of Animal Science students pumping water.
"Ridiculous..."
The little fox smacked her lips and looked toward the experimental fields of the College of Agriculture students on the right.
Several large bulldozers pushed the soil from the experimental fields to the corner of the field, and a large excavator with a one-cubic-meter bucket was digging up soil to load onto dump trucks.
The excavator pressed the bucket down to ensure it could load dozens of tons, overclocking to hundreds of tons.
The tires of the dump truck were sinking, and the shaking that bounced Ansheng around on the bed might have just been the dump truck passing by the dormitory building.
The College of Agriculture teachers and professors were taking long cylindrical metal tubes, about half a meter in length, from a mining truck, explaining something to the students.
Ansheng spotted Momo and Youyou among the crowd.
Their teacher was huge, with chest muscles that looked like they could crush a mosquito.
"That thing... looks familiar?"
"Seems like... carbon dioxide blasting tubes?" As more metal tubes and cables were taken out, Ansheng suddenly recognized them and couldn’t help but silently complain, "Are you really having a class?"
Carbon dioxide blasting tubes are engineering devices used for mountain or rock blasting, similar in effect to detonators. You drill holes into the mountain or rock and insert these tubes to crack them open.
Their power isn’t as great as explosives, but they don’t require approval to use. You just put them in and they blast.
Seeing these, Ansheng still had a perplexed expression on her brow, not fully understanding why students from the Agricultural Resources and Environment major would use mining students’ large tools during class.
Until.
The bulldozers pushed away the experimental field’s topsoil, revealing a reinforced concrete frame for irrigation beneath. Ansheng finally had a moment of realization.
The entire experimental field should be about ten acres, complete with irrigation channels and stormwater drains.
Irrigation pipe pillars were also installed, all built by the previous class of students.
The new students, during the dismantling process, were effectively polluting the land.
Under the guidance of teachers and professors, the fourth-year students had to complete one last real-world class, which involved a bit of supervised cheating, to build the irrigation channels.
You could say the College of Agriculture is indeed well-funded.
Every year they throw in millions to simulate common urban pollution environments for students to practice on.
"At this point..."
"Might as well see if the cafeteria still has breakfast!"
Seeing the blasting devices being rolled out, Ansheng abandoned any hope of sleeping, returned to the dorm, grabbed her bowl, and headed to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria does provide utensils, but Ansheng worried about shared use leading to some odd situations.
The little fox left the dorm, walked down the stairs, when a meowing sound came from beside her.
Looking over, Ansheng saw a tabby cat named Aqiang hanging on the dorm door.
Except.
The words on the review letter were updated.
[Already had a can, fish jerky, and an hour of exercise this morning.]
[Will go neuter after class at noon, already made an appointment with the School of Animal Science’s teacher and student group.]
[Bonus pool accumulates with a water kettle, and the cat’s butt sat directly on the kettle’s spout. It went in...]
"Meow——" The tabby cat looked towards the master fox, uttering a cry for help.
"........"
After reading the review letter’s content, Ansheng remained silent for a moment, grabbed her bowl, and left, not wanting to comment.
"In a sense, it’s a miracle the tabby cat’s little bell is still hanging on its neck..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Ansheng with a face full of frustration lamented in her mind.
On the road where dump trucks and water trucks dominated, the fox carried a bowl in its mouth and crossed the zebra crossing, leisurely strolling into the cafeteria across from the education building.
"Master Fox, here for a meal?"
Entering the cafeteria’s first floor, the strong cold air hit her, and the fat cat showed a happy expression, raising a large paw to greet Master Fox.
"Why is everyone coming to the cafeteria?"
Master Fox with a bowl in his mouth looked around in surprise at the cafeteria’s first-floor lobby.
The lobby was full of pandas, both big and small, as well as the black bears from the demolition team seen before.
There were also two Tibetan bears that looked like brown bears but with distinctly lighter fur. The cafeteria had turned into a bear den.
When inquiring, Ansheng stood up, placed the bowl on the table, walked over to the big refrigerator, stood on her tiptoes to take out a bottle of iced cola, and said to the cafeteria manager, "Put it on Yang Xiao or Li Xiao’s tab."
"There’s free air conditioning here!"
"The damn panda protection base only has air conditioning in the office and den. During the scorching noon, they told us to go to the stream for water cooling..."
"I just called up my friends, a whole truckload, and brought them all to the College of Agriculture for air conditioning." The fat cat stated matter-of-factly.
The distance used to be far, and some ordinary panda cubs couldn’t walk such distances, needing to be carried by their mothers, but not all pandas enjoy walking. A bunch of homebodies prefer the heat and avoid trekking several kilometers through the mountains.
But ever since Master Fox taught Fat Cat how to drive, Fat Cat became reluctant to leave anyone behind.
Bringing everyone from that darn panda protection base to the Agricultural College to enjoy.
Of course!
Theoretically, the School of Animal Science was closer, so Fat Cat should have taken everyone there.
But the School of Animal Science had tranquilizer guns, bear spray, and a warehouse full of Happy brand blades.
Even though they wouldn’t dare to neuter him, the constant noise of neutering screams over there gave Fat Cat the creeps and he didn’t like the ominous atmosphere.
The School of Animal Science offers free animal medical services.
Rural households nearby could bring any livestock suffering from illness there, where expert professors sit in consultation, and clumsy students get hands-on experience.
The number of neuterings the School of Animal Science performs in a year could wrap around the entire Xinxing Agricultural Science College twice, averaging hundreds per person...
"By the way, Master Fox, there’s something I want to ask your opinion on..."
Fat Cat shifted slightly, opening up sneakily to Master Fox:
"Over the years, with us helping stir up trouble for the Security Bureau, our cat clan has saved quite a bit. Plus, yesterday the old manager bribed me to invite you over, offering me half a million cash..."
"So..." Ansheng cluelessly took a sip of the iced cola she held.
"I want to buy a house and a car!" Fat Cat said with a serious expression. "The house provided by the civil service is big, but the environment isn’t quite ideal. So I thought, why not get an improved house for my whole family to live in."
"Cough cough... and also wanted a fridge, to stash some ’red things’ inside."
When mentioning the fridge, Fat Cat looked somewhat guilty.
"You want a car and a house, or a hideout?" Master Fox glanced at Fat Cat as he asked.
"Oh, come on! We cats mean no harm, I’m just looking for an improved type of den." Fat Cat replied.
"So I wanted to ask if you, Master Fox, have any leads for low-cost housing deals..."
