Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 530 - Chapter 530 530. This is not scientific_1

Chapter 530: 530. This is not scientific_1 Chapter 530: 530. This is not scientific_1 Facing Wu Lan’s grumbling, Song Tan also felt helpless.

In modern society, whatever you do, you always have to find a scientific basis for it, anyhow, she couldn’t possibly divulge her cultivation practices.

At that moment, she could only assert with righteous indignation, “You can’t blame me for this. Our family uses a special formula that’s affected by the sunlight during the day.”

Professor Song was silently listening at the side.

—-He didn’t disbelieve her. Indeed, some materials are light-sensitive, but the problem was, he had studied agriculture for many years, and although he wasn’t deeply specialized in a single field, he was well-versed in many.

He had never heard of any research institute’s formula that could nourish fruits to this effect!

“I think it might still be an issue with the soil.”

He downed the silver ear soup in one gulp, the sweet and smooth taste comforting his throat and stomach, making it seem even less like a taste that could have been cultivated with a formula.

With this thought, he suddenly grew restless and looked at Song Tan again:

“Is it convenient now? Can you take us up the mountain to have a look?”

“Professor, don’t rush, don’t rush!”

Tai Xiaodong, who was hurriedly gulping down the silver ear soup in his bowl, promptly began to rummage through his bags, “Wait till I assemble the drone, we’ll do a terrain presentation tonight.”

“Right!”

Yan Ran also started searching through her luggage, “Tai Xiaodong, how many batteries did you bring? My GoPro’s battery won’t last in the heat.”

Good grief! Once that was said, all three students crouched down to examine their suitcases. Upon opening them, they found that clothes were merely rolled into two or three sets, tucked away in less than a quarter of the space, the rest of the half-filled case contained diligently packaged drones, spare parts, batteries, and a series of tools.

Honestly, it really did resemble a setup for extreme sports.

Then looking at the hefty backpacks, out came a notebook that seemed heavy and somewhat worn at the edges…

With all this preparation, even the careful Wu Lan grew slightly anxious, “Why such high-tech? Are you going to test the soil composition too…”

…Wasn’t this supposed to be free? Would there be extra charges?

Professor Song didn’t even look up, “We brought a simple set of instruments, which can do some preliminary testing. For a detailed analysis, we’d still need to send samples to the research institute—-but if you are just doing a forestry plan for the mountain, it’s not necessary to be that detailed, a rough assessment of the soil adaptability will suffice.”

As they spoke, everyone’s suitcases and backpacks were spread out, with the drone and camera already assembled.

Song Tan: …is there really no one who feels sorry for me?

With three strong workers gone from the house, all the remaining chores fell to her!

But since Professor Song was so passionate about it…

She had no choice but to get up languidly and start walking, “Let’s go then, it’s a bit far. If we finish looking early, you can rest earlier tonight.”

“Oh, and there’s a dog where Peach Forest is, quite big, looks fierce but is actually very gentle.”

With Professor Song already in his fifties or sixties this year, Song Tan really had to prepare everyone mentally:

“Our dog is really big, so don’t be frightened.”

“A big dog? Like a guard dog?” Qi Lin asked with some curiosity.

“No.”

Song Tan looked up at the mountain: “Kangal–King!”

The next moment, a particularly robust dog slowly rose from behind the bushes on the mountainside to their right, its menacing face looking down on everyone. At first glance, it was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat.

“Oh my!” Tai Xiaodong exclaimed on the spot.

Then came frustration—-that was it, he was done for. He was still a modern university student, after all! Throughout the whole day, his vocabulary had shrunk to just these two words!

What exactly had his university life brought him?!

Professor Song was also deeply shocked, but he noticed the red floral bib tied around the neck of this large dog at a glance. For some reason, it was both harmonious and bizarre, completely mismatched–

How strange, take another look!

Another look and it wasn’t so scary anymore.

Once everyone recovered, they marveled:

“Such a big dog! Aren’t you afraid of it biting someone and causing an accident at home?”

“I did it on purpose.” Song Tan smiled, “This entire back mountain is now ours. With such tasty crops, if a thief or someone tries to take advantage, even if they’re locals, we can’t take too serious measures… Better to keep Kangal here. If someone with bad intentions tries to force their way in and gets bitten, they can’t blame anyone else.”

This wasn’t just talk to appease them; Song Tan truly felt this way.

If it really came down to paying compensation, then so be it; she would pay whatever the law decided, but there had to be a deterrent.

Professor Song, on the other hand, nodded in approval, “Not bad.”

“Good thinking.”

Running a business in the countryside, one difficulty is distribution, and the other is the complexity of personal relationships. As soon as you slightly expand the scale, all kinds of relatives begin to involve themselves, making management challenging.

Song Tan: …Well, it seems like her family is also all relatives now–eh, that’s not right, there seems to be no one else, just two cousins, very limited labor.

She let out another sigh of relief.

Yan Ran, however, turned around and said, “Why do I hear a lot of bees?”

Holding the drone, she inquired curiously.

“I also keep 10 boxes of bees, didn’t want to scare anyone. They’re down there, in the shady area… Want to take a look?”

“Let’s see!”

Tai Xiaodong didn’t hesitate a bit.

Bees don’t attack proactively; as long as they don’t bother them, the risk of getting stung is very small.

In the midst of the conversation, Song Tan already led everyone over the little slope. Below there were 10 evenly placed beehives, with bees buzzing around lively and vigorously.

Professor Song observed carefully for a while: “The bees are kept here, and there’s no protective measures nearby… Aren’t you worried about their natural predators, like ants and wasps?”

If discovered too late, it would be impossible to remedy the situation.

Natural predators, ah…

Song Tan’s gaze drifted.

Clearly, she remembered the fierce battle at the summit between Daxiong, the wasp, and the beehive. Now she pointed to a beehive and said:

“This beehive, see? The entrance is made larger, and it houses bear bees. They’re very clever. Although they eat too much, they normally protect the honey bees.”

Professor Song: …

He couldn’t help but feel amused: “You young people, how can you be so imaginative?”

Bear bees protecting honey bees? With their appetite, bear bees can barely feed themselves each day, let alone do anything else?

Moreover, there isn’t such a guardian relationship between bee colonies.

This… How to explain this?

Song Tan could only shrug helplessly: “My bear bees are just very clever. My brother picked them up from a stream, they had just come out of hibernation and couldn’t find food, nearly starved to death–so they’re especially friendly towards people.”

“He brought them back and cared for them for a month. After the bear bees laid their eggs and they hatched, we moved them to this beehive. The fights were fierce, and indeed, it was them that came to the defense.”

Professor Song was even less convinced now.

If the bees’ initiative to attack is very low, and bear bees’ even lower, they would do well to protect themselves, let alone others?
