Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 51 - 21: Rumors (5,000 Words)

The Agricultural Research Institute has ample funding, but the money has to go through procurement to purchase from formal companies, and also requires invoices, reports, and a series of hassles.

Professor Li whispered, "Hey, I’m privately interested in this little thing, are you selling?"

Su Xiaocai was surprised and said, "Professor, aren’t you worried that I’m just an amateur and the things might be substandard?"

Professor Li told her, "Twenty percent of our school’s instruments are student projects. If there’s a problem, just find the students. It’s not like you can run away."

Wow, the school professors must be quite savvy.

Buying students’ stuff is not only cheap but also includes after-sales service, any faults can be repaired for free, killing many birds with one stone.

Su Xiaocai hesitated. The money she had wasn’t enough to cover the initial patent fees, and she didn’t want Daddy Su to shell out the money.

The thirty thousand yuan in her pocket was her living expenses.

Compared to most kids from ordinary families, she already had a lot.

Daddy Su wasn’t considered old, but he had his own hobbies, which were especially costly.

Spending money feels better when you’ve earned it yourself.

Su Xiaocai probed, "I don’t have extra funds right now, plus doing this will take some time. Do you mind waiting half a month, Professor?"

Professor Li supported students developing sidelines, "I don’t mind. Just make it for me when you have time. I’ll pay you twenty thousand yuan per unit for labor costs. Is that enough? I’ll need ten units."

"That’s enough, that’s enough. No need for that much. But I don’t have materials, can’t buy them outside, and don’t have points to borrow the school’s equipment room. If the professor can arrange these, I’m good on my end."

Su Xiaocai’s courses were all set, as long as nothing went wrong in the fields and the law firm people didn’t come looking, she had plenty of free time to practice ’Qi Sensing’ a few more times, and hoped to grow taller to over one meter seventy soon.

"We have a lot of leftover points every year, you can use them freely. I’ll also arrange for someone to bring in materials," Professor Li joked, "In the future if the machine has issues, don’t look for other department students, just find you to fix them."

No need to shell out for production costs, plus some extra labor, it’s just serving as a free repairman for the professor for a few years, quite worth it.

Su Xiaocai: "Okay, thank you, professor, for the care, I’ll get it done for you soon."

"Take your time, no rush." Then Professor Li took her to see his experimental field.

The professor’s field and the students’ fields were worlds apart.

In terms of area, no idea how many times bigger it was.

So vast it stretched as far as the eye could see, with hundreds of greenhouses, five constant temperature rooms.

So extravagant, so extravagant. Daddy Su spent tens of thousands to build a small constant temperature glass room, many instruments were self-made.

No idea how much it cost to build such large constant temperature rooms at the school.

Apparently, the Military Training really intends to nurture Agricultural Research Institute talents.

Many seniors and elder sisters were bustling in the fields, and when Professor Li arrived, their eyes lit up. They lifted their legs and rushed forward eagerly.

Running too fast distorted their facial features, resembling zombie apocalypse movies.

Professor Li calmly kept his hands behind his back, appearing unfazed.

The first arriving student gave a victory sign, having priority to ask questions.

Those behind felt regretful, suspecting this person secretly practiced running; just a moment ago was on the other side of the field, now already before the professor.

The first-place runner surrounded the professor asking questions, while Su Xiaocai watched other students intently listening.

The first batch of students due to insufficient farming experience and no seniors to seek advice, very much needed the professor’s guidance.

Moreover, agriculture is a field in need of practical experience, lots of knowledge isn’t readily found online. Even going to the library to find books, you have to find the right ones to identify the problem.

Therefore, they met the professor like dogs seeing a meat bun, never letting go.

Professor Li happily smiled while answering the students’ questions, and introduced Su Xiaocai to them, "Your junior classmate, strong foundation, comes from a farming family, you all can communicate more often."

Su Xiaocai quietly cleared her throat and softly said, "Hello, senior classmates."

The meeting was very pleasant, and senior students coming to help with the professor’s experimental field were all students with aspirations in agriculture.

Filled with passion for crop research.

Su Xiaocai liked their learning atmosphere very much, strongly wanting to join them.

Once again she demonstrated her excellent social skills.

"Senior sister, the corn you’ve grown is so full, how do you take care of it, can we add each other as friends to discuss?"

"I’ve seen this plant, we can discuss when we have time."
