The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 362 New Era, New Technology
Why did they all come here?

Upon seeing familiar faces from the security team, An Sheng's foxy face showed surprise, as if she hadn't expected them to be there. However, because A Qing was still there, An Sheng didn't go to greet the members of the yakuza group.

Meanwhile, Ah Qing, carrying the little fox on her shoulder, walked into the cafeteria chatting and laughing with Mo Mo and the others.

"Ah Qing!"

When Ma Xiaoling, a student in the agricultural science class, saw A Qing in the cafeteria, she gasped and quickly ate all the dumplings on her plate.

"Lingling? Haven't seen you all summer? I missed you!"

Hearing Ma Xiaoling's instinctive exclamation, A Qing turned to the side and greeted her warmly.

"No, no, no, wait until I finish eating. The cafeteria is serving dumplings for breakfast today."

Ma Xiaoling wolfed down her food, while the faces of her classmates from the north all changed drastically.

Dumplings are a popular food throughout China, with their origins traceable back to the ancient state of Kaogong during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Common dipping sauces for dumplings include soy sauce, garlic juice, various vinegars, and different kinds of chili sauce.

However, people in Xia Dong have a different perspective. Traditional Xia Dong people like to dip everything in sweet and spicy sauce, while modern young people in Xia Dong prefer to dip everything in ketchup.

But Ah Qing is more of a compromise type; her dipping sauce dish is 70% sweet chili sauce and 30% ketchup.
The cafeteria mainly serves dumplings for breakfast.

Having studied together for years, Ma Xiaoling, who loved to chat, was well aware of A Qing's quirks.

"They looked at you like you were a ghost." Tang You couldn't help but complain as she watched her fellow villagers from her birthplace in the north quickly finish their food and leave.

"Can we throw away your sweet chili sauce? They're willing to tolerate white vinegar and minced garlic, so why not just give in to them?"

"But the sweet chili sauce is really delicious," Ah Qing said, sounding aggrieved.

"fun"

An Sheng let out a sly, fox-like chuckle.

Sweet chili sauce is also quite good. If you really try to persuade Ah Qing to change her dipping sauce, then, in accordance with the traditional virtues of the people of Xia Dong, you will witness a heavy-duty combination of fish sauce, lemon juice, and chili rings.

Those students who arrived later were rushing to school, while the students sitting in the cafeteria were taking it quite leisurely.

After having a leisurely breakfast, I went back to my dormitory and packed up my things. Then, the school's security team loaded the agricultural machinery onto the carts and secured them. We set off promptly at nine o'clock.

"professor."

The animal science students who set off later looked at the advanced plant protection drones in the hands of the agricultural science students, and then at the Happy Brand blades in their own hands, and pouted.

"Do not ask."

"professor."

"Don't ask too many questions about the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Agricultural science students have already been exposed to small plant protection drones in their junior year, and in their senior year, they need to obtain a beyond-visual-range plant protection drone pilot's license.

The Agricultural Research Institute, a subsidiary of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is well-funded and provides its students with plant protection drones for training. These drones are among the most advanced types available on the market and have a very futuristic appearance.

Students in the College of Animal Science need to use high-tech equipment in certain genetic technologies, animal health and disease prevention, and in observing aquatic products.

For the other 90% of the time, a pen, a notebook, a first-aid kit, and experience are enough to get by.

If you really want to be precise, you could add a powerful flashlight and a tree branch you find by the roadside.

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect watched helplessly as the disciples of the Medicine King Sect next door piloted Gundams.

Meanwhile, he was still stuck with razor blades, stones, and twigs, almost envious to the point of urinating blood. After the professors from the Animal Science Department finished counting the number of people, they nodded to the Border Collie, who obeyed and herded his unruly students onto the bus like sheep.

The counselor got on the bus.

The professor and the dean rode in another car.

The entire Xinxing Agricultural Academy was emptied and divided into different convoys heading to its destination, Qinling Town.

Shortly after the students left, the engineering convoy drove straight into the school to lay fiber optic cables. At the same time, they loosened the expensive equipment in the laboratory building and moved it all to an underground shelter.

The senior professors invited from the Archaeology Department of Southwest University stayed here, waiting for the items to be delivered.

Another cart, carrying boxes of weapons, followed the student convoy that had left earlier.

"Why have you all come to Chang'an?"

While A-Qing was chatting with her classmates, An-Sheng secretly slipped to the back of the bus and looked at Bai Tao and Su Qiyuan to ask them a question.

"Actually, we should have arrived in Chang'an a week ago."

"But due to some unforeseen circumstances, the organization gave us a few days off temporarily."

Bai Tao looked at Master Fuli, then turned her gaze to Su Qiyuan's buttocks and said, "The fruit is ripe. Senior Su went into the emergency room with a pale face."

"His buttocks are worth two bottles of Spirit Granules."

Su Qiyuan said awkwardly, "Well, actually I was planning to accumulate more vacation days, and include my annual leave and all that, and then use them for it."

"As it turned out, my butt was really uncooperative, and there was nothing I could do about it."

Forest rangers are different from loggers, who usually stay in one place and never leave.

The forest rangers went according to their assigned tasks, but they were generally transferred from south to south and from north to north.

Forests in different regions and climates have different biological environments and dangers. No matter how skilled a forest ranger is, it takes a long time to adapt and catch up when going to an unfamiliar forest area. They cannot start working immediately upon arrival.

But Bai Tao and Su Qiyuan are exceptions, because the foxes they are responsible for observing will buy business class tickets.

"You finally cut that fist-sized thing of yours?" An Sheng asked casually.

"I did have the surgery, but the doctor told me that I need to maintain good lifestyle habits, otherwise, it might be difficult to stitch it up again," Su Qiyuan said with a bitter expression.

"What the senior meant was that if too much skin is cut, the eyes will become smaller. If it develops to this serious stage, his excretory orifice may become the size of a cigar, lose its elasticity, and his fierce nature will become the norm." Bai Tao thought for a moment and translated the senior's vague words into plain language.

"There's such a thing?"

An Sheng glanced sideways, indicating that he didn't quite understand. His work environment didn't involve sitting for long periods of time, and he had never encountered hemorrhoids in either his past or present life.

Su Qiyuan's face was full of bitterness: "I've suffered terribly."

"It's alright. Modern medicine is so advanced; even if a drain pipe comes out, it won't cause any major problems. Besides, your medical insurance and work injury insurance are quite high."

An Sheng patted Su Qiyuan's thigh, offering a slight consolation to the unlucky fellow, and then said to Bai Tao:
"Since you came because of me, what's the deal with that guy?"

When An Sheng was speaking seriously, she gestured backward with her lips, indicating what the situation was with the fungal parasite beast.

“Its mood is very calm. It just so happens that Master Fuli is also in Chang’an City. Therefore, the Security Bureau transferred the fungal parasite beast from the research institute and dispatched it as a specialist to assist the lumberjacks in investigating the Qinling anomaly,” Bai Tao said.

The reason the fungal parasite is here is entirely because Master Fuli is here; he can ensure that the fungal parasite won't get out of control.
Therefore, after discussion, the Security Bureau decided to dispatch the fungal parasite that had been idle at home to carry out the mission.
