Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 52 - 21: Rumors (5,000 Words)

"I know this disease, it’s an infection by the black smut fungus, use..."

In just half an hour, she had already infiltrated the academic group of last year’s students at the Agricultural Research Institute.

Su Xiaocai had experience in farming, and gradually, people kept asking questions in the group.

And for the most part, Su Xiaocai could answer them all.

Whether it was grains, vegetables, fruits, or flowers, Su Xiaocai had been involved for ten years. Added to her accumulated learning from her past life, she could easily serve as a part-time teacher.

After some time, Su Xiaocai virtually became their second universal rescue pill; whenever there was a problem, they would directly tag her in the group to ask.

Professor Li, who hid his merits and fame, comfortably drank tea in the thermostatic room, feeling a lot lighter.

After chatting with Su Xiaocai, Professor Li understood her solid foundation and why she was willing to spend twenty thousand per machine—of course, it was to lighten her load!

The assistants at the Agricultural Research Institute had to juggle many things, even busier than the professors themselves.

And Professor Li wasn’t idle either; as he aged, his energy waned, and he couldn’t devote as much time to his students.

Now with Su Xiaocai, it was simply a pleasant surprise!

Professor Li’s small maneuver to gain liberation was quickly known to several other professors at the Agricultural Research Institute.

They also followed suit, seeking Su Xiaocai to order machines and then adding her to other class groups.

Driving one cow or driving two, Su Xiaocai became as busy as a cowherd.

From then on, Su Xiaocai became the sole favorite of her senior and junior schoolmates; they would seek her help, and entertain her when there was nothing else.

The professors at the Agricultural Research Institute, now somewhat free, often mentioned such a good student to the teachers in the Mecha Department.

The Mecha Department teachers were itching with envy because they also wanted to show off this good student, but they had no chance. The principal didn’t allow it, and the teachers had to keep their mouths shut.

An unknown dark horse has far more threat than a seed player known to all.

The second day after school started, there was a math class. As Liu Xun entered the classroom, he saw Su Xiaocai sitting in the front row and approached her proactively to ask, "Why are you taking classes in the Mecha Department? Is the math at the Agricultural Research Institute not challenging enough?"

The math in the Mecha Department included calculations for shooting accuracy, a nightmare for anyone.

Wind speed, distance, air pressure... just like learning physics, all part of their math curriculum.

Su Xiaocai nodded, matter-of-factly saying, "Yes, I like challenging myself with difficult things."

Wu Qingqing snickered, whispering, "Strange, didn’t the Mecha Department watch the match before? Why didn’t it spread?"

"Isn’t it better if it didn’t spread?" Su Xiaocai didn’t want to be watched.

Liu Xun: "What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing." Wu Qingqing pushed Liu Xun’s face away. "Class is starting." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Liu Xun murmured how amazing Su Xiaocai was, and when he found out that she was double-majoring, he turned into a lemon spirit, pouting for several days, lamenting that he was too naive back then to be fooled.

...

The busy days of studying and working passed quickly. Su Xiaocai ran between two fields, burying herself in making robots whenever she had the time, and the little free time she squeezed out was only to guide Wu Qingqing in her training.

She thought everything would go smoothly, but trouble never comes alone.

As Su Xiaocai and her roommates were so engrossed in their studies they couldn’t extricate themselves, a bad rumor was brewing, fermenting, and expanding.

Suddenly one day, it exploded.

For more than half a month, Su Xiaocai was so busy she nearly spat blood.

The bamboo in her field had already grown tall, with plenty of rain recently, and Martial Emperor Bamboo was shooting up; to prevent their overgrowth, Su Xiaocai was diligently digging them up.

After digging for shoots daily, she went on to make machines; with materials in place, she didn’t wait for delivery. The professors paid upfront, not caring about anything else.

Su Xiaocai had to work late into the night to finish fifty of them before finally preparing to hand them over.

Stretching her stiff back, just as she exited the equipment room, Wu Qingqing came over with an anxious look, telling her, "The principal is looking for you."

The sun was about to set, so why look for someone so late?

"Did the principal say what it was about? I’d like to take a shower first." She had been huddled in the equipment room for half a day, with metal shavings all over her clothes.

Wu Qingqing: "I don’t know, it seems someone was looking for you outside, and when they couldn’t find you, they started a big fuss."

Su Xiaocai was puzzled. Wu Qingqing might not know that she had exchanged contact numbers with the principal, so if the principal had something urgent to talk about, he could reach her anytime.

Among the people she knew on Capital Star, the only ones from outside the school were Fei Yi and Zhang Rui Kai. Imagining the scene of people from Kite Law Firm making a fuss was absolutely impossible.

The language they uttered carried a deterrent effect, each legal term memorized fluently,

there was no one else.
