Is there ginseng in the school?
The online friends in the live stream all felt curious.
"Just asking since I don't know, is it possible to dig up ginseng at school?"
"Ginseng isn't picky about where it grows, so it indeed can be found anywhere, but it's ridiculous to dig it up from the bushes at school. I suspect it's scripted."
"Bro, this is an agricultural university. Anything is possible, alright."
"That depends if any seniors or juniors have ginseng as their project topic. Maybe someone casually planted it in the bushes, and Wu Bin just happened to find it."
"Hahaha, reminds me of a freshman who casually picked some vegetables to eat from the field, only to find out it was a senior's research project for a year."
"I feel sorry for that senior for a minute."
Under He Bingbing's indication, Wang Yong got closer and gave the object a close-up shot.
It has to be said, from its appearance, it really looked like ginseng.
Wu Bin happily took it to wash off the dirt. After cleaning it, it looked even more convincing.
Xue Gui also sat up from the bed and asked,
"This type of ginseng must be expensive, right?"
"I remember my dad bought this thing last year as a gift, and one piece was worth tens of thousands."
Wu Bin hummed.
"It mainly depends on the variety."
"If it's cultivated American ginseng, it wouldn't be worth tens of thousands."
"But if it's wild ginseng, then the price would be quite beautiful."
Xue Gui's eyes lit up.
"Then haven't you struck it rich?"
Wu Bin chuckled.
"Not really, just a small fortune."
Wu Bin pulled out a small knife from the drawer, which made Xue Gui hurriedly intervene.
"What are you doing? This thing is worth tens of thousands, are you going to eat it?"
Wu Bin glanced at Xue Gui.
"Look at your ambition. Of course, I should enjoy the good stuff first."
"But I'm not luxurious enough to cut from the middle. I'll just cut off some ginseng whiskers to steep in water for health benefits."
Xue Gui didn't hesitate and went to get his own water glass.
Wu Bin carefully snipped off a bit of ginseng whiskers, and anyone who didn't know would think he was cutting gold bars.
Then he tossed the ginseng whiskers into two water glasses and brewed them with boiling water.
As the ginseng whiskers swirled in the boiling water, a faint aroma wafted from the cups.
Wu Bin sniffed and showed a face full of bliss.
"No wonder it's wild ginseng. This flavor, so pure!"
"With something as good as this, not only is it great for making tea, but just smelling it can extend your life, hahaha."
"Cheers, brother!"
Wu Bin and Xue Gui clinked their glasses and sipped as they blew on them.
Just as Xue Gui was about to sip, dorm supervisor Yang Kang knocked on the door.
"What are you two doing?"
Seeing Yang Kang walk in, Xue Gui immediately handed over his water glass.
"Supervisor, Wu Bin dug up a wild ginseng in the grass, and we're just brewing tea with it."
"Supervisor, the wild ginseng tea does taste pretty good, have a taste."
Ever since Wu Bin's sudden heart attack incident, Yang Kang became the gentlest supervisor at the school.
That's why he was popular in the male dormitory, otherwise Xue Gui wouldn't think of sharing any good thing with Yang Kang first.
Yang Kang took the water glass, smiled, and glanced at Wu Bin.
"Wu Bin, you're quite lucky to dig up ginseng in the school bushes."
Wu Bin just grinned and didn't say much.
He Bingbing took the chance to ask,
"Supervisor Yang, can we really dig up ginseng in the grass at our agricultural university?"
Yang Kang nodded.
"At our Agricultural University, our majors are more or less related to the cultivation and grafting of crops."
"Although the school has experimental fields, they are too far from the dormitory."
"Some students, to be lazy, plant their projects in the bushes and sneak off to observe and record."
"Of course, the school actually prohibits this, because the planting environment between the experimental fields and the bushes is very different, so it's usually the freshmen who do this."
"In the past, at most, they would dig up some vegetables and fruits from the bushes, but digging up ginseng this time is indeed a bit strange."
After hearing Yang Kang's explanation, the netizens in the livestream suddenly became interested.
"So Agricultural University is this fun? Now you've piqued my interest."
"My farming genes are stirring; tell me, what's the admission score for your university?"
"Actually, I also think that enrolling in Agricultural University isn't bad, the work environment after graduation is more straightforward, saving one from having to engage in intrigues with others."
"Welcome all younger brothers and sisters to apply to our school; actually, farming and cultivation experiments are more fun than you think, like cultivating tomatoes as big as fists, pumpkins as big as heads."
Seeing that the popularity of the livestream had increased quite a bit, He Bingbing was quite surprised.
It seemed that everyone was indeed interested in the life at Agricultural University.
However, due to the previous incident with Wu Bin, everyone's focus had shifted.
He Bingbing, of course, would not miss this chance to increase her popularity; she began to actively ask Yang Kang about life at Agricultural University.
Yang Kang also knew this was a good opportunity to promote their school, so he spared no detail.
Just as Yang Kang was getting into his stride, he heard Xue Gui's voice in his ear.
"Wu Bin, how come you didn't even take off your clothes to sleep? Get up, at least take off your shoes, right?"
Turning around, Yang Kang saw Wu Bin laying on the bed, his face flushed and smiling serenely.
Yang Kang chuckled.
"Youth is great, asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow."
As Yang Kang said this, he picked up his water cup, ready to take a sip.
Just then, he suddenly caught sight of something on the table.
Yang Kang paused, his face turning a bit pale.
"Xue Gui, where did you guys get this from?"
Xue Gui casually replied with an 'Oh.'
"That's the wild ginseng Wu Bin dug up."
"Wu Bin, really, such a valuable thing, and after soaking it he doesn't even tidy up. What if someone took it?"
Xue Gui reached out to grab the object.
Yang Kang shouted.
"Don't touch it!"
Everyone was startled, and Xue Gui looked puzzled.
"What's wrong, instructor?"
Yang Kang shakily looked at the water cup in his hand, with a tendril the thickness of a pinky coiling inside.
Yang Kang then looked towards another empty water cup on the table, his eyes growing more horrified.
"Don't tell me, the water cup that was soaking this thing."
Xue Gui nodded.
"It was, but Wu Bin drank it."
"Where's the tendril?" Yang Kang was nearly frantic.
"He ate it, Wu Bin said it was too precious to waste, so he ate it all, water and tendril together."
"Ah!"
Instructor Yang Kang let out a piercing shriek.
He was on the verge of a breakdown!
Can you even eat that thing?
This is courting death!
Yang Kang pulled out his phone and immediately dialed Xie Shan's number.
"Quick! Come to room 106, Wu Bin was poisoned!"
Xie Shan cursed.
"Fuck, then why are you calling me? Just dial 120!"
Though he said that, Xie Shan still grabbed his medical kit and sprinted towards the male dormitory.
