Chapter 432: Chapter 246: Fish Leg Grass, Octopus Legs! (2)

The fox who finished its work then "whizzed" down the Jade Food Tree and returned behind the master.

Finally, after more than an hour, the last worker, Black Earrings, rushed down from the tree to stand behind the master.

The foxes stood together, their fluffy heads whispering.

"Ying ying ying, ow ow ow?"

"Ow ow ow ow, ying ying?"

Is all the preparation done, ready for the master to start?

Then Bai Mo looked up, spreading his divine sense out to carefully check each task completed by the disciples, pondering and rehearsing internally, and smiled.

"Alright, we can officially begin!"

Sitting on a fishing lounge chair, he waved gently.

Bronze text flew out from his sleeve, forming a Great Tripod.

Within the Great Tripod, purple qi swirled, like a dragon flying out!

Whoosh...

The immortal qi from the Purple Earth Dragon condensed into a column of smoke, flying upwards, passing through layers of branches and leaves, reaching the Fish Leg Grass buried by the disciples on the treetop, and plunged into it!

The enormous Jade Food Tree shivered tremulously!

The trembling became faster and more intense!

The foxes raised their heads, eyes wide open, seeing some leaves turn yellow and fall, some branches wither and die.

They saw the "Fish Leg Grass" that was just buried on the high treetop suddenly burst forth in the purple haze!

Poof...

A big mass, as if inflated, expanded explosively from the treetop!

This big mass stretched out, unfolded, and hung down in strands of large, thick, fat, flesh-pink vines!

Black Belt and White Belt suddenly realized!

No wonder the master said it was Fish Leg Grass, turns out it’s squid legs, they’ve all eaten it!

Some foxes who hadn’t eaten them looked terrified.

Some foxes who had eaten them drooled from their mouths.

Those who’ve eaten it lifted their front paws, crazily recommended to those who hadn’t.

"Ying ying ying, ow ow ow ow!"

...This grill with sauce is especially fragrant!

Then they saw the squid legs hanging down from the high treetop become longer, thicker, fatter, even with round suckers inside, gently wriggling.

After tens of minutes passed, the immortal qi from the Purple Earth Dragon was fully infused, and the Fish Leg Grass stopped growing.

The foxes looked up at its form, surprised that this thing hanging on the Jade Food Tree didn’t seem small at all?

Each thick tentacle probably has a length of hundreds of meters!

Bai Mo looked up, focusing his divine sense on the Fish Leg Grass, his expression slightly tense.

Until the suckers of the Fish Leg Grass began wriggling, absorbing the strands of immortal qi floating in the heavens and earth, he finally smiled.

"Hahaha, it’s done!

"Fish Leg Grass, revival successful!

"Its suckers can absorb immortal qi between heaven and earth efficiently, refine it into primordial immortal qi.

"The Purple Earth Dragon, after being harvested, its output halved, now produces 0.7 liters daily.

"While this Fish Leg Grass, naturally powerful in output, freshly revived, produces 0.6 liters daily.

"Added together, the output increased by 30%!"

The foxes behind the master looked at each other, counting the arithmetic on their front paws.

After calculating for a long time, finally figuring it out, they jumped excitedly, bursting into cheers!

"Ying ying ying!"

"Ow ow ow!"

"Ying ying ying!"

...

Whoosh...

The autumn wind blew through West State City, swirling with dried, yellow leaves.

In the office, Fang Xiaoyu also donned a sweater and coat, now sitting before the computer screen, looking gloomy.

"The price went up!"

The nearby fox disciple, Sun Tail, wearing a matching black sweater like the master’s, poked its chubby head, watching the screen with Fang Xiaoyu, equally dejected.

"Ow?"

The price went up?

In this office, there were five matching black sweaters like the master’s, worn in turns by the disciples who came daily.

By today, all five had been stretched out of shape, begun pilling...

The foxes didn’t care about the shape or pilling, since their own bodies were fluffy and furry... The key was the misshaped sweater, not matching the master’s! The master’s sweater doesn’t deform, pill, or fuzz, that’s crucial!

But now, this black sweater’s price actually went up?

"Please, this is just kids’ wear, originally at 150, already quite pricey, how did it forcibly increase by 100 bucks?

"Even if black sweaters are trending, kids’ versions shouldn’t follow suit in price hikes right?"

Fang Xiaoyu glanced up at Bai Mo working at his desk, looked at his black sweater, sighed helplessly.

Not only the Fox Immortal Beast wanted to wear matching with Bai Mo, society recently had an uproar, every young person wanted the same black sweater as Bai Mo, forcibly bought out the stock, raised the prices!

Even kids’ versions followed the price spike!

Looking out the office window now, among the scattered fallen leaves, several passing young students wore the same black sweater as Bai Mo.

"Bloody abstract!"

Fang Xiaoyu grouchily ordered five more of the priced-up kids’ versions.

Not on her own card... reimbursed as Expert Bai Mo’s living expense!

Bai Mo, meanwhile, was viewing several experimental reports and sheets sent by Professor Hong Anxi in his email.

He was responsible for the project’s top design, while specific, tedious tasks needed Professor Hong Anxi, Dr. Qu Hailou, and others to complete.

At this moment, Bai Mo frowned at these reports.

"What’s going on..."

The report content was fine, the key was the email was sent at four in the morning?

Professor Hong Anxi, despite his age, also wanted to see West State at four a.m.?

Or...

"Have the tasks I assigned been too much?"

Bai Mo opened WeChat to ask.

Soon received a reply.

[Recently, we had to pull some manpower, only can work overtime haha]

Pulled manpower?

Bai Mo suddenly recalled the vote previously cast, remembered the "Primordial Immortal Qi Plan", had some researchers already been pulled away for it?

And Professor Hong Anxi’s four a.m. email was his undertaking of his own red vote?

Bai Mo smiled wryly.

Sent a message to Professor Hong Anxi.

[Should we slow down the progress a bit?]

[This is a long-term battle, frequent nightwork wears the body down]

Not long after, he received a reply.

[Won’t be frequent nightwork!]

[Overtime is a bit more, but we won’t all work so late every time]

[Also, we actually have enthusiasm]

[Your top design was good, scientific. Working feels like building a white tower to the sky, admiring the thoughts and craftsmanship inside the tower while enjoying the high-altitude view, making the work compelling!]

Huh?

Bai Mo smirked.

Couldn’t see it, this old chap’s flattery skills were rather deep!

Bai Mo exchanged pleasantries briefly, closed WeChat, and silently adjusted the work plan.

Some tasks they couldn’t avoid... After all, the Committee is a massive organization, emphasizing procedures and processes, everything needs testing, documentation left.

Work that could be removed for them, he tried to do so. To Bai Mo, these weren’t hard to handle, spending an extra ten minutes might save them a long night.

After about ten minutes, Bai Mo sent the adjusted work plan to Professor Hong Anxi.

Not long after, received his reply.

[I read once someplace that many mediocre scientific workers, despite lifelong efforts, merely help historical geniuses eliminate wrong answers, save an afternoon]

[I didn’t believe this before]

[Now, I believe it!]

Bai Mo smirked.

Really wanted to reply, asking this old guy to keep it down.

Closed WeChat, seeing his work was almost done, he drank some hot tea and opened the expert database, reviewing literature related to "fruit", to explore more, to perfect his framework.

After reading for quite a while, nearing lunchtime, he raised his head to see Fang Xiaoyu and Sun Tail guarding the computer screen watching a video, their human and fox faces filled with joy.

He suddenly noticed, someone’s missing in the office?

"Why hasn’t Wu Qingyun come today?"

Fang Xiaoyu raised her head.

"Didn’t she tell you?

"She went back to Shangjing last night.

"To get promoted to Sequence Seven under her grandfather’s guidance.
