Chapter 502 - 280: Human-Trafficker Factory in the Small County, Six-Fox Squad Internship Mode 2
As Mo Lanyou walked, she thought to herself, and her face suddenly changed!
"Orchid Purple Beans are highly toxic, acting very fast, but they require a dosage!
"About three pounds of Orchid Purple Beans boiled into poison is enough to kill a person.
"And the yield per acre for Orchid Purple Beans is around twenty pounds.
"Which means, this batch of Orchid Purple Beans used for poisoning, excluding loss from fire and other wastage, probably comes from about twenty acres of medicine fields.
"For the Ancient Immortal to afford using them this way, it can only mean they have more than this in their fields.
"Expert Bai Mo, do you think there’s a possibility that actually... the Ancient Immortal has long been using modern technology to cultivate Immortal Grass in their dreams?
"How long ago was it?
"A year ago?
"Two years ago?"
Bai Mo furrowed his brows. He could accept such things.
The number of Ancient Immortals counted in the present world is over eight thousand!
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, you can find all kinds of birds.
Among the more than eight thousand Ancient Immortals, it’s not strange that some were interested in modern agricultural technology!
We didn’t discover it before, didn’t expect it.
But now that we’ve realized it, what should we do next?
...
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the ground was howling with strong winds.
Shush...
A car stopped next to the medicine fields of the Octagonal Peach Forest.
The fox disciples Big Crescent and Little Crescent, along with Bai Ruyi, Black Ruyi, Wuyun Xue, and Huang Yunxue, a total of six foxes, jumped out of the car, slung small bamboo baskets over their shoulders, and then, with serious expressions, rushed into the Peach Forest.
"Ying ying ying!"
The small bamboo baskets they carried were filled with no less than eight detection tools, all provided by their master.
"Aow aow aow!"
Rushing all the way into the Peach Forest, they saw pipelines exposed on the ground, crisscrossing through the forest, with main trunks thick and branch paths thin, ultimately reaching each Octagonal Peach Tree.
No longer needing to farm, their work had become much easier; they only needed to drive around, completing inspections on Ghost Eye One to ensure the medicine fields were running smoothly.
But... the expressions on the faces of the six foxes were not relaxed; instead, they were filled with seriousness!
They rushed to the middle of the forest, found a large mound of white mycelium emerging from the ground... which was exactly Ghost Eye One!
In the center of the mycelium was a rapidly spinning Ghost Eye.
The mycelium wriggled as it delved deep underground, sensing the condition of the Peach Forest, controlling the various pipelines and valves.
At this moment, it was controlling the pipelines, with water gurgling through, drip-irrigating underground, watering the Peach Forest.
The six foxes surrounded Ghost Eye One, laying out their small bamboo baskets, and exchanged glances.
"Ying ying ying!"
"Aow aow aow!"
"Ying ying ying!"
This maintenance work was far more complex than prior cultivation tasks and could not afford any mistakes.
They had worked hard to remember during their master’s lessons, but even now, they still lacked confidence.
But so what?
Even if they had to force themselves, they had to do it!
Clap! Clap! ...
The foxes raised their fox paws, clapping loud and clear to encourage each other!
Then, Big Crescent took out a gramophone stethoscope, placed it against Ghost Eye One, and began to listen.
"Aow..."
The master had said, the sound of health was "jigu jigu jigu"... was this sound inside the stethoscope "guji guji guji"?
It sounded like it, but also not quite!
Little Crescent, Bai Ruyi, Black Ruyi, and others also took out gramophone stethoscopes, placing them on Ghost Eye One’s surface, each listening carefully.
The foxes wore serious expressions, listening as they gestured and communicated in fox language, discussing with each other.
"Ying ying ying, aow aow aow aow..."
"Aow aow ying ying ying..."
After a discussion, recalling the master’s words, and listening to Wuyun Xue mimic the master and perform a piece of ventriloquism, simulating the normal sound, they suddenly realized and roughly understood that currently, the sound was fine.
...
Next to the well, the pump team of six foxes was diligently conducting their maintenance.
Big Golden Cuff and Little Golden Cuff didn’t quite understand why the master wanted six foxes to move in groups.
Even though there were many steps involved in well maintenance, there was no need for so many foxes, right?
Then, they saw the six foxes with stethoscopes hanging around their necks, one paw holding a crystal amplifier, another clutching a small hammer, going left and right, tapping, listening, and observing.
Some even stood at the well’s edge, inserting a Long Branch Detector into the well water.
Big Golden Cuff reached the step of observing the bark and noticed it was slightly bulging...
"Aow?"
How was this to be handled again? The master seemed to have mentioned it, but it had already slipped its mind!
Little Golden Cuff leaned in, looking at the bulging bark, reached out to touch it, and furrowed its brows.
How to handle it?
It forgot too!
In the group, the Yellow-Clawed Lightning ran over, took out a needle from a small bamboo basket, along with a bottle of yellow-brown potion, and started demonstrating in fox-speak.
The Big Golden Cuff and Little Golden Cuff watched, learned, and suddenly remembered this was something the master had taught!
They realized why the master wanted the six brothers to form a squad... it was just in case they forgot the operations, hence more foxes teamed up! No matter how complex the operation, amongst the six foxes, there were always one or two who could remember!
...
In the Tree-man Medicine Field, White Earrings, Star Ear, Moon Ear, and Peach Blossom Eyes were adding materials to the feed inlet.
This feed inlet was a large, wriggling Big Mouth Flower... once the materials were added into its mouth, it would use the wriggling pipe linked at the back to send all the herbs into the bellies of the Tree-men.
"Ying Ying Ying!"
Peach Blossom Eyes hugged a large bundle of West Pillar Grass, weighed it, and threw it into the mouth of the Big Mouth Flower.
"Ow?"
Star Ear was beside, looking at the ground full of West Pillar Grass, Arisaema, Golden Bean Grass... their eyes already dizzy.
To automate planting, the master had improved a few fertilizer formulas, the new formulas were a bit troublesome, and it couldn’t remember...
White Earrings and Moon Ear were also having a hard time, each of them holding a bundle of grass, unsure whether they should throw it into the feed inlet.
Suddenly Peach Blossom Eyes, full of pride, swished its tail, swaggered over to the trio, added the material one by one for them to see, explaining in fox-speak, helping them remember!
The three foxes listened with faces full of admiration... Peach Blossom Eyes was amazing, already learned it completely?
Peach Blossom Eyes hugged a bundle of Golden Bean Grass, stuffed it into the feed inlet, moved elegantly, with an air of ease, expressing with its lightly swaying tail what a genius is!
Actually, it was secretly holding back the yawns in its mouth until tears came out. To remember the new formula, it hadn’t slept most of last night, always repeatedly reciting it silently in its mind!
Today finally standing before the brothers looking cool, it couldn’t expose itself, couldn’t drop the ball!
...
In the vast herb fields of Fox Mountain, vehicles came and went, fiery red figures darting back and forth!
The production mode ushered in changes, and the foxes learned new technologies, faced new challenges, each with a serious face, apprehensive.
Finally, in the cold evening wind, the sound of the end-of-day bell rang.
Clang...
Clang...
The melodious bell echoed.
Vehicles quickly drove up the return road, stopping at the foot parking lot.
Fiery red figures dashed out of the vehicles, rushed up Fox Mountain, forming a red river along the mountain road.
They dashed into the cafeteria, each taking a bowl, starting to queue for dinner.
Tonight’s dinner was eggplant and cardamom fried rice, the steaming aroma already floating all over the room.
While lining up, the foxes spoke in fox-speak, whispering among themselves.
"Ying Ying Ying!"
"Ow ow ow ow!"
Their faces were relaxed, after a tense day of work, they learned quite a lot!
What the master taught before, after a day of group practice, they basically remembered.
Swipe...
A vehicle stopped at the cafeteria entrance.
The foxes turned their heads to look.
Saw the master jump down from the rooftop, walk in smiling into the cafeteria.
Their expressions froze, began to tense.
During today, the master kept wandering around the herb fields, checking their work.
The master now came, was it to check all the work?
Did the master find any oversight?
Then heard the master raise the voice.
"Today, everyone did very well!
"The herb field adopted a new model, everyone learned new technology, all day, not a single mistake.
"Very good!"
The foxes beamed with joy.
Then heard the master continue.
"Tomorrow we will change the practice format, from the six-fox group mode, to reassemble into four-fox group practice mode."
The foxes looked at each other, a sly glint in each eye.
The six-fox mode just completed all repairs throughout the day... then with the four-fox mode, repairs faster, wouldn’t it mean half the day done?
Bai Mo explained loudly.
"Exactly! We want to shorten working hours, to give everyone more time to do their work more easily, more meticulously, more time to communicate with each other, summarize experiences! So everyone has more time for entertainment, keeping mind and body healthy!"
The master’s voice ended, and the foxes started jumping and cheering!
"Ying Ying Ying!"
"Ow ow ow!"
"Ying Ying Ying!"
The joyful sounds filled the grand hall!
