How Am I Still Alive?

Wen Beixiong, an associate professor of the School of Botany in the Logistics Department, the winner of the second prize of the Green Plains, the holder of the third-level rare occupation "Parasitic Tree", and also the teacher of Lu Ping'an.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't come to the class in person, he didn't have the patience or the time, he was just a teaching assistant under him, taking the "gardener" course in the leading safety class.

This is obviously not accidental, but the result of repeated consideration of the internal struggle of the School of Botany.

For gardeners, a tool man who can "instantly ripen" magic plants is too tempting.

The subject that was originally for several months or even years may be answered in just a moment, and no one can refuse this temptation.

Even though they all know that this ability has many limitations, and they might have to pay a huge price, these people still flock to it. When Lu Ping An treats others as tool people, naturally some people regard him as tool people.

Professor Wen's ability to win in the end is enough to prove his strength.

It's just that he certainly won't really lead the undergraduate class. Let the teaching assistants help the students make up a little bit of foundation, go through the process, and take some big classes at critical moments, and that's about it.

It's just that, before school started, Professor Wen asked Lu Pingan to find him, but he didn't come now. Now, I'm still a little bit upset.

"I have several new magic plants here, and I need you to appreciate them."

Lu Pingan didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the latest "research results", several new "assembled magic plants", and showed them to the professor for appreciation.

In an instant, any dissatisfaction, any complaints, disappeared without a trace, and the old face was wrinkled from laughter.

By the time Professor Wen put down the petri dishes and flowerpots and remembered that there was still a person here, it had been more than 20 minutes, and this was only a preliminary appreciation.

The old professor's face was flushed with satisfaction, and he patted Lu Ping'an's shoulder. He was like a brother, so he wanted to invite him to dinner.

"...I am here this time on behalf of the special service team, and I still have something to trouble the Botanical College."

The School of Botany of Guda University is also a famous brand in the industry. When Lu Pingan was looking for someone to identify "White Sleeping Cherry", they were also looking for them.

But this time, what is needed is not just the "critical opinion" of an expert, but the careful research of an expert group composed of professors.

Some people may misunderstand that the crackdown on arms does not end by pointing at the market and saying "no sales". It is not meaningful to just block a few key nodes. Only by digging out the supply chain can we really hit the gray market.

And each smuggling chain, production and sales industry chain, and sales chain are independent, and a professional task force needs to be formed to track them.

There is a division of labor within the special service team, some are mainly chasing firearms lines, some are chasing mass production workshops of polluting weapons (the duration of this stuff is too short, and the probability of local production is high), some are chasing modified humans, and some are chasing biochemical weapons ( Including magic-planted weapons).

Out of certain considerations, the secret service team chose to follow the clues of the magic plant weapon.

Now, in addition to these "gifts", Lu Pingan also brought a big box, which contained the common "black market magic plant weapons" on the market.

Most of them are not powerful, but they are simple and easy to use. Another advantage of magic plants as weapons is that they can be used after they are planted, and they don’t pick users very much. Gardeners can make several “module packs” and “convenience packs” , thrown into the market for use.

"This is a very simple thing, the level is too low, what is there to study?"

Professor Wen was not interested in the few "weapon bags" that Lu Pingan took out. These magic plants were so inferior that he threw them on the side of the road, and he didn't even bother to pick them up.

But it is this kind of low-level magic plant that is more convenient for market circulation, and the price-performance ratio is king.

Among them, there are plant grenades that can explode when pulled apart, flower bouquet bombs used for assassination, "land mines" that can protrude out magic piranhas to bite people, and there are magic fences that automatically wrap around those who approach them.

In the arms market, they are actually above mid-range products. In addition to the concealment brought by "no metal", and because they are all pollution products, their lethality against mortals is extremely amazing, and their lethality against monsters is not bad. It can also be used repeatedly.

The old professor uninterestedly took out a shovel and scissors, patted here and there, and disassembled them all in a few strokes.

Flowers are flowers, leaves are leaves, each part is clear, and you can see it with a microscope.

". A pile of rubbish, all of which are outdated modules, and have been degraded for several generations for mass production. Tsk, even the seeds have been processed, can't they germinate again? This is because they are afraid that others will rob him of his arms business .”

The extent to which these gadgets cut corners and actively downgrade. The old professor was amazed.

But if it's just this level of analysis, Lu Pingan won't come in person, the special service team has someone who can do it.

"We need their possible origins, possible developers, and possible origins of raw materials. The growth of magic plants requires a place of life, nutrients, and special water and fertilizers. These can be used as clues. In short, the secret service needs a detailed Specific reports to individual developers and transporters."

In fact, many outstanding cases that have not been solved in the end are not because there is no solution at all, but because the cost of investigating the case is too high to be cost-effective.

As a law enforcement officer, it takes several years for you to find hundreds of people to deal with a single case. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to handle dozens of ordinary cases, and it is impossible for law enforcement agencies to allow you to deal with it regardless of the cost.

But now, when the Special Service Team and the Bureau of Abnormalities are really serious and invest at all costs, there will naturally be results.

Although the request was excessive, Lu Pingan knew that they would definitely have a result.

These researchers can always figure out something from the messy characteristics of water sources, nutrients, contaminated soil, and even color and pattern in plants.

All that is needed is cost and time.

"It's easy to say about the price. Anyway, the Bureau of Foreign Affairs will pay the bill. You can quote a little more for your budget."

Lu Pingan was very calm, anyway, he was just doing errands, so there was no need to help the boss save money.

Especially when the boss is really not short of money and just wants to get things done.

"It's necessary to gather enough professors in various disciplines such as water and soil, cultivation, and practical application of magic plants. I have this face, but why should I use it in this area. Heh, you mean rich rewards? Our college seems to be short of money ?”

Of course not, mature gardeners are excellent producers, money alone is hard to impress, so Lu Pingan came here in person.

"You can tell me what you want. As long as the special service team can do it, you can agree to it."

"I want you"

Lu Ping'an's face changed drastically in an instant. This is a bit too direct and unacceptable.

"...Come here and be my experimental assistant, and take some of my designated courses by the way." Panting heavily, Professor Wen finally finished speaking.

This is the teacher's suggestion, which is a good thing, but Lu Pingan thought about it for a while, but shook his head helplessly.

"My course, you may not know it, but it is quite full, and I can't squeeze it out."

"When you take the gardener course, come directly to help me, Xiao Liu (substitute teaching assistant) will not count your absence, and finally give you a high score to pass."

Lu Pingan still shook his head, perhaps these "novice knowledge" are nothing in the professor's eyes, but he needs them.

He has his own plan, and this period of time is used to lay the foundation, and the plan cannot be disrupted by a little extra factor.

After being rejected, Professor Wen smiled instead. He could see that Lu Pingan was not resting on his talent.

".I'll find someone who will teach you the basics one by one. It's definitely more useful than Xiao Liu's big class. Of course, the premise is that you are not an idiot. When you are in the laboratory, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly."

From roll call lectures with dozens of people to one-on-one private teaching, and experts and scholars answering questions on the spot, Lu Pingan would be a bit silly if he didn't agree.

"good"

"Then let's start today, there will be two experiments soon, let's talk while walking."
