Wen Beixiong, associate professor of the School of Botany, Department of Logistics, second-class Green Plains Award winner, holder of the third-level rare profession "Parasite Tree", is also Lu Ping'an's teacher.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't come to teach in person, he didn't have the patience or the time, he was just a teaching assistant under him, leading the "Gardener" course in the safe class.
This is obviously not an accident, but the result of internal struggle within the Botanical College... after repeated deliberation.
For gardeners, a tool that can "ripen" magic plants instantly is too tempting.
A topic that originally took months or even years may be answered in just a moment. No one can resist this temptation.
Even though everyone knows that this ability has many limitations and may cost a huge price, these people still flock to it... When Lu Ping'an treats others as tool people, it is natural that some people will treat him as a tool person.
Professor Wen's ability to win in the end is enough to prove his strength.
But of course he won't actually teach undergraduate classes. He will first let the teaching assistants help the students to catch up on some basics, go through the process, and take some big classes at critical moments, and that's about it.
It's just that before the school started, Professor Wen asked Lu Ping'an to find him, but he didn't come yet... Now, I still feel a little bit unhappy.
"I have several new magic plants here that I need you to appreciate."
Lu Ping'an didn't waste any time and directly took out the recent "research results", several new "assembled magic plants", for the professor to appreciate.
In an instant, all dissatisfaction and complaints disappeared without a trace, and wrinkles appeared on the old face.
By the time Professor Wen put down the petri dishes and flower pots one by one and remembered that there was another person here, more than 20 minutes had passed. This was just a preliminary appreciation.
The old professor's face was flushed with satisfaction, and he patted Lu Ping'an on the shoulder, saying that he was a brother and wanted to invite him to dinner.
"...I am here on behalf of the special service team, and I have something to trouble the Botanical College."
Guda's School of Botany, which specializes in specialties, is also a brand name in the industry. When Lu Ping'an was looking for someone to identify the "White Sleeping Cherry", he also found them.
But this time, what is needed is not just the "identification opinion" of an expert, but the careful investigation of an expert group composed of professors.
Some people may have misunderstood that the crackdown on arms does not end by pointing at the market and saying "no sales". Merely blocking a few key nodes is of little significance. Only by truly digging out the supply chain can we really crack down on the gray market.
Each smuggling chain, production and sales industry chain, and trafficking 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 after the firearms line, some are after mass production workshops of contaminated weapons (the duration of this thing is too short, and the probability of local production is high), some are after cyborgs, and some are after biochemical weapons (
Including magic plant weapons).
The third special service team had some considerations and chose to follow the clues of the magic plant weapon.
Now, in addition to these "gifts", Lu Ping'an also brought a large box containing "black market magic plant weapons" that are common on the market.
Most of them are not very powerful, but simple and easy to use. Another advantage of magic plants as weapons is that they can be used after being planted. They do not choose users... Gardeners can definitely make several "module packages"
”, “convenience package”, 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 completely uninterested in the several "weapon bags" that Lu Pingan took out. These magic plants were so inferior that he didn't even bother to pick them up when they were thrown on the roadside.
But it is this kind of lower-level magic plant that is more convenient for market circulation, and cost-effectiveness is the king.
Among them, there are plant grenades that explode when pulled open, bouquet bombs used for assassinations, "landmines" that detect demonized piranha flowers and bite people, and demonized fences that automatically entangle those who approach.
In the arms market, they are actually mid-range products. In addition to the concealment brought by being "metal-free", they are also products of pollution. Their lethality to mortals is extremely shocking, and their lethality to monsters is not bad either. Many of them are
It can also be used repeatedly.
The old professor took out a shovel and scissors without interest, patted here and there, and dismantled them all in a few clicks.
A flower is a flower, and a leaf is a leaf. Each part is clearly visible. You can see it just by taking out a microscope.
"...a pile of rubbish. They are all outdated modules that have been degraded for several generations for mass production. Tsk, even the seeds have been processed, so they can't germinate again? Is this because I'm afraid that others will snatch them away?
His arms business."
The old professor was amazed at the extent to which these gadgets cut corners and actively downgraded them.
But just for this level of analysis, Lu Ping An would not come personally, the special service team would have someone to do it themselves.
"We need their possible origins, possible developers, and possible sources of raw materials. The growth of magic plants requires a living place, nutrients, and special water and fertilizers. These can all be used as clues. In short, the special service team needs a detailed report
Specific reports to individual developers and transporters.”
In fact, for many unsolved cases, it is not that there is really no solution at all, but that the cost of investigating the case is too high, making it uneconomical to handle.
As a law enforcer, it would take several years for you to pursue a case with hundreds of people. Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to handle dozens of ordinary cases, and it is impossible for law enforcement agencies to let you pursue it regardless of the cost.
But now, when the special service team and the Special Affairs Bureau are really serious and invest no matter the cost, the results will naturally come.
Although the request was excessive, Lu Ping'an knew that they would get results.
These researchers can always figure out something from the plant's water source, nutrients, contaminated soil, and even messy features such as color and pattern.
"Demon Suppression Museum"
All it takes is cost and time.
"...The price is easy to say. Anyway, the administrative department will foot the bill. You can quote a little more for your budget."
Lu Ping'an was very calm. He was just an errand boy anyway, and there was no need to help his boss save money.
Especially when the boss is really not short of money and just wants to get things done.
"This requires recruiting enough professors from various disciplines such as water and soil, cultivation, and practical application of magic plants. I have this reputation, but why should I use it in this area? Heh, you mean rich remuneration? Our college seems to be short of money.
?”
Of course, it's not like that. Mature gardeners are all excellent producers. It's hard to impress them just with money, so Lu Ping'an came here in person.
"If you have any requests, you can just say it. As long as the special service team can do it, we can agree to it."
"I want you....."
Lu Ping'an's face suddenly changed. This was a bit too direct and unacceptable.
"...Come here to be my experimental assistant and take some of my designated courses." Professor Wen finally finished his words while panting heavily.
This was the teacher's suggestion, and it was logically a good thing. However, after Lu Pingan thought about it for a while, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"You may not know this, but my courses are already quite full and I really can't squeeze them out..."
"When you take the gardening course, come directly to help me. Xiao Liu (substitute teaching assistant) will not count your absence and will give you a high score in the end."
Lu Ping'an still shook his head. Maybe this "novice knowledge" was nothing in the eyes of the professor, but he needed it.
He has his own plan, and this period of time is used to lay the foundation. The plan cannot be disrupted by any additional factors.
After being rejected, Professor Wen smiled instead. He could see that Lu Pingan was not relying on his innate abilities.
"...I will find someone to teach you the basics step by step. It will definitely be 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 large roll-call classes with dozens of people to one-on-one private coaching, as well as experts and scholars answering questions on the spot, Lu Ping An would be a bit stupid if he didn't agree.
"good......"
"Then starting from today, there will be two trials soon. Let's talk while walking."
