I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

Chapter 77: The Cultivation of Bacteria Begins, Special Culture Medium

I was able to make a special culture medium directly. Luckily, I had studied and practiced diligently, so I could understand all the materials and was very familiar with how to extract them, adjust the pH value, and so on. Otherwise, even if I had the information, it would have been useless.

Next, carefully disinfect to prevent the bacteria from dying in the hands of other bacteria.

The bacteria in the lab are precious treasures; any strong bacteria can easily crush them and ruthlessly kill them.

In nature, the strong prey on the weak. In the bacterial world, life is short-lived; in a day, bacteria have already lived for eighteen generations.

When you put in the E. coli, they start to eat like crazy.

Then comes reproduction; the instinct of microorganisms is to eat dry food and eat something astringent.

Although humans are also microorganisms, the thought that microorganisms have objects while my friend doesn't makes me feel that humans are inferior to bacteria.

Chen Mu thought for a moment and continued adding ingredients.

The information provided by the hostile takeover bid included not only the culture medium but also specific breeding methods, specifying the time, temperature, and ingredients to be added.

The price is so cheap because Chen Mu did not choose a specific evolutionary path.

Nature will evolve arbitrarily, and may not necessarily have any effect.

Chen Mu turned on the microscope and began to observe.

Cruel, a purgatory-like cruelty.

Although E. coli have begun to evolve, only an unknown number of bacteria, perhaps one in ten thousand, will successfully evolve.

In nature, it might be one in a trillion.

These are microorganisms, species that survive in absolute numbers.

The people at the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University laughed; this guy was really bad at everything and loved to play around.

With all sorts of random additions, it seems the first person to be eliminated has been found.

"My bacteria have survived!" A bespectacled girl from the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University said confidently and proudly.

Colonies even appeared in the culture medium.

This means the bacteria have been cultured and can be kept growing until a whole bucket is obtained.

The people from the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University remained calm, because this was just standard procedure.

Are competition spots really that easy to get?

Which of you here didn't start taking extracurricular classes in elementary school? While most people start studying biology in their second year of high school, they started in the second grade of elementary school.

There are only a few dozen spots available nationwide, meaning that on average, each province only has a few people. Those economically developed and educationally strong provinces will inevitably take up more spots, while the less developed Xijiang Province can only work even harder to catch up. So even though they are only in their second year of high school, knowing that the other side comes from a county-level high school already makes them feel confident of victory. Changnan is the Central Continent of Xijiang Province, and we are even more so, holy sons from a sect's holy land.

Even the student with the worst grades among them wouldn't get into Changnan University, a mere 211 university.

Cultivating bacteria is just a piece of cake.

Of course, as a well-mannered student, I would not mock others, but I already felt that I had the victory in my heart. Even without a competition, as a student who competes, the competitive spirit is ingrained in my bones. It's either you die or I die!

Zhou Qingchuan nodded repeatedly at the performance of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University.

The fact that some people are too skilled in their operations, have too solid a foundation, and that educational resources are unevenly distributed is an objective reality that no one can solve in the short term.

Even though the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University is already so prestigious, it can only barely squeeze into the top 50 schools nationwide.

The most ruthless are, of course, the schools in Beijing, such as the legendary High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China and Beijing No. 4 High School.

The High School Affiliated to the Normal University only has a 100% undergraduate admission rate, while others have already achieved a 100% first-tier university admission rate. Anyone who has attended high school understands this difference.

Think about what it means to be ranked last in the previous book.

The level of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University is already overwhelming for the county-level high schools.

After a morning, 80% of the students at the High School Affiliated to the Normal University had successfully cultivated the fungus and started to see mycelium.

Mycelium, also known as fungal hyphae, is a colony of bacteria that can be seen with the naked eye. The green growth on oranges that have been left out for a long time is actually mold colony.

Or, if you can find oil in your backyard, it can also attract American bacteria.

Meanwhile, Chen Mu's people were fighting a tough battle, and Chen Mu's side was in the worst shape, with almost all the bacteria dying off.

But Chen Mu knew that evolution was accomplished under such brutal conditions.

At noon, it was time for everyone to rest and eat.

At the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University, everything was in perfect order.

"The one who's worst at growing mycelium, go get lunch for the other students!" the first girl to successfully grow mycelium instructed. Her name was Li Cixue, the competition queen of National Taiwan Normal University Affiliated Senior High School, and the former top biology student in the competition.

If only one person from the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University could be admitted to university through a special admission program, it would definitely be Li Cixue. Therefore, in such a hierarchical competition team, her words carry authority and fairness.

Whoever has the worst grades should do the work—that's reasonable!

Chen Mu, on the other hand, felt at ease leaving the bacteria there to fend for themselves, and then went out to eat with his friends.

"Brother Mu, are we just going to leave it like this? Aren't you afraid your entire army of bacteria will be wiped out?" Zhang Weiji asked.

"It's alright, let the dust settle. People need to eat, otherwise they'll get hungry!" Chen Mu said, taking off his blue gloves, washing his hands, and heading straight out.

A large group of people arrived at a nearby restaurant. Why didn't they go to the cafeteria? Well, it must be because they didn't have meal cards!

Moreover, Chen Mu also found a good way to eat.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they took out their phones and started snapping photos. Then, calling out to their family members, they went inside to order food.

Jiang Yueyao and Shen Qingyue were dumbfounded. How could this be possible?

The boss was indeed much more enthusiastic; just by looking at the good looks of these people, you can tell they must have a lot of fans.

The one who isn't good-looking is definitely the photographer. It's a very reasonable combination: a man having dinner with two women. This is the secret to attracting attention! You can enjoy a food broadcast and also see beautiful women. He's a genius at self-media!

Then the boss naturally became incredibly enthusiastic and attentive in his hospitality.

All kinds of Changnan specialties will be provided.

Chicken feet, fried eggs with beef brisket, boneless meat, braised pork intestines, etc. Chen Mu was very generous to these friends who had helped him.

You need to broaden your horizons. Why? Because every time you train your body, the money in your card will decrease significantly. After two and a half years of training, it will be an astronomical figure.

Therefore, you must make money faster than you spend it. There are many ways to make money now, it's just a matter of finding the right balance.

For example, when it comes to competitions, there's not just one AI competition with a million-dollar prize; there's also the Teamfight Tactics Golden Spatula competition with a million-dollar prize.

Several times I was beaten by some college student amateur players. To put it bluntly, it's just a game of chess, which involves intelligence, calculation, luck, hand speed, strategy, courage, and so on.

There are also prizes for games like Go and chess. Chen Mu is confident he can win them with his brainpower. If he can't, he'll train like crazy and add points to his skills so he can win.

However, if there were income sources related to scientific research, Chen Mu would definitely choose that first. Otherwise, why didn't Hextech just choose to donate in the first place?

Scientific research is the true path to immortality; other ways of making money are ultimately secondary.

However, considering the 2500 million, I can understand it a bit. Choosing other options requires hard work, but donating means getting money without lifting a finger.

Pursuing higher limits always comes at a price!

While eating, Chen Mu casually began teaching his teammates the Burning Technique.

"After we finish eating and go back, Zhang Weiji, please adjust the pH of your culture medium, otherwise it will die."

Jiang Yueyao, you didn't give me enough glucose. You need to add some when we get back, otherwise they'll starve. Shen Qingyue, you also need to adjust your carbon-nitrogen ratio. Too much nitrogen and too little carbon will cause the bacteria to over-proliferate, which will lead to product synthesis stagnation later on and an accumulation of too much organic acid.
