Chapter 18: Gifting Tail Grass
Finally, they personally saw Shi An’an casually pull one from a cluster of Tail Grass and transplant it into a small flower pot…
The three people’s gazes turned to the Tail Grass in front of them. Yes, it was this one!
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t the only one of its kind, but an ordinary one among the ten Tail Grasses!
The three blankly looked at Shi An’an, opened their mouths, but didn’t know what to say; their minds were a bit muddled.
“Can this video prove that this is the Tail Grass I cultivated?” Shi An’an asked.
Xu Zihou came back to his senses and nodded, “Yes.”
“Then… can I sign up now?” Shi An’an closed the video and checked the time.
“Yes, you can.” Xu Zihou quickly took out the form, took a deep breath, “We’ve just seen your Tail Grass; it belongs to the thick-spike Tail Grass type, with excellent growth and excellent appearance…”
Xu Zihou quickly filled out the form, while Li Xinyi beside him hurriedly recorded the just-scanned results, and Yu Jie was responsible for taking photos and downloading Shi An’an’s video.
“Oh, right, one more question. We just watched the growth process of the Tail Grass, junior sister. May I ask how long the entire growth time of this Tail Grass was?”
Shi An’an glanced at the three with eager curiosity, thinking that they had just watched the video— that one minute was their growth time!
But if she said one minute, they probably wouldn’t believe it, so she might as well just say a random time.
“One…” Shi An’an opened her mouth.
“Oh, good, one month.” Xu Zihou nodded, “This growth speed is pretty fast too.”
Shi An’an: “…” week.
Fine, whatever time you say, that’s the time!
Then Xu Zihou quickly entered Shi An’an’s information, added her as a friend, and pulled her into a class group.
“I’m Xu Zihou, a third-year in the Botany Department. These two are Li Xinyi and Yu Jie. We’re the class advisors for this year’s first-year new students. If you have any academic questions, you can come to me. For any life matters, you can go to Senior Sister Li…”
“And uh, for other small things, you can come to me, haha.” Yu Jie added from the side.
Shi An’an nodded, “Got it, senior brother and senior sister.”
“Today, you’re the first new student to arrive in our Botany Department. The dormitories are all empty right now, so quickly pick a dormitory you like.” Li Xinyi handed the dormitory card to Shi An’an and explained some things to note in the dormitory.
With all the procedures completed, Shi An’an received four sets of exclusive Botany Department school uniforms, plus one set of military training uniform.
“After signing up today, you can rest in the dormitory. Tomorrow at eight in the morning, gather in the classroom. I’ll send a notice in the class group in the evening, so check it.” Xu Zihou handed the school badge to Shi An’an and instructed.
Shi An’an nodded, “Okay, senior brother, I’ll head to the dormitory first.”
“Mm, goodbye, junior sister.”
“Goodbye, senior brother and senior sister.” Shi An’an turned and left.
“Hey, junior sister, your Tail Grass.” Yu Jie saw the Tail Grass on the table and hurriedly called out.
Hearing this, Shi An’an turned back in surprise, “Doesn’t this need to be turned in?”
“No need, this is one you cultivated yourself; the school has no right to take it.”
“Oh, alright.” Shi An’an was somewhat helpless; she really didn’t want this Tail Grass.
Picking up the Tail Grass, Shi An’an noticed the three people’s gazes tightly following the Tail Grass in her hand.
Shi An’an thought for a moment and hesitantly said, “Do you want the Tail Grass? Uh, although it’s…” not very useful.
“Yes!!!” The three looked at Shi An’an with shining eyes, afraid she would refuse.
“If you don’t mind…”
“We don’t mind at all, how could we mind, how dare we mind! This is an S-grade Tail Grass!!!” Yu Jie shouted.
Shi An’an was a bit confused; in the Cultivation World, this foxtail grass had no use and only competed for spiritual energy and territory with spiritual plants.
Of course, sometimes senior brothers and sisters who refined pills might need one or two foxtail grasses as medicine, but they were usually pulled and given for free, not worth any money.
Although she didn’t understand, Shi An’an respected it.
Shi An’an took out a pot of Tail Grass from her space button.
This was grown from those ten seeds back then.
“Pick two more.” Shi An’an said generously.
Meanwhile, Xu Zihou and the other two were caught off guard by the large pot of lushly growing Tail Grass before them.
Of course they recognized this pot of Tail Grass; they were the “siblings” of that casually pulled Tail Grass!
Xu Zihou and the other two immediately swarmed forward like wolves, “This one, this one’s good!”
“I want this one; this one’s spike is almost ripe. Once it’s ripe, I can use its seeds to cultivate more Tail Grass and see if I can grow S-grade Tail Grass.”
“If I can cultivate S-grade Tail Grass, I can graduate perfectly next year!”
At this point, Li Xinyi looked at Shi An’an with bright eyes, “Junior sister, can I use your mother spike to cultivate new Tail Grass for my graduation project?”
Shi An’an shrugged, “Sure, I only provided the seeds anyway.” Of course, with spiritual energy enhancement, the seeds her Tail Grass produced were definitely different from ordinary ones.
High germination rate, high survival rate, and better appearance than ordinary ones; senior sister would definitely graduate.
“Thank you, junior sister!” Hearing Shi An’an’s words, Li Xinyi was extremely grateful.
“In the future, whether junior sister is at school or not, as long as you need anything, senior sister will do it without hesitation!” Li Xinyi said, patting her chest.
“And me, and me! At school, senior brother has your back!” Yu Jie hurriedly added.
“Cough cough, junior sister, thank you so much for the Tail Grass. You might not know since you just enrolled, but your Tail Grass is already S-grade. Our Botany Department professors are usually… uh…”
Xu Zihou thought for a moment and said euphemistically, “Relaxed, and they give students a lot of freedom and autonomy. Aside from classes and assessments, the rest of the time is free to allocate.
As long as at graduation you can cultivate A-grade or higher plants, you can graduate smoothly.”
“So, your Tail Grass helps us a lot! Junior sister, thank you!” Xu Zihou was also very grateful.
Good seeds grow good seedlings; that’s an eternal rule.
For their Botany Department students, getting in is easy, but enrolling is hard!
During school, they have it much more comfortable than students from other departments—no deadly training, no various physical fitness tests, no instructors striking them down mercilessly.
But graduating smoothly is extremely difficult.
Those with money at home can buy A-grade or S-grade seeds from masters, but for those like them with average family backgrounds, encountering good seeds is very difficult.
Cultivating plants with good appearance is even harder.
Therefore, the Botany Department has many students who can’t graduate.
And these students, to graduate, have all embarked on journeys to find seeds…
