Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 287 - 177: Concerning the Future of Humanity, Dream Grass (2)
In the pause while waiting for the computer calculations, he leaned back in the van seat, stretched lazily, and looked at the lines of data swiftly scrolling across the screen, instinctively furrowing his brows.
Behind his seatback, under the Invisibility Cloak, Peach Blossom Eyes also furrowed its brows.
What's on this computer? Such a mess!
Just now, the master sent a telepathic message, instructing it to keep an eye on this van and monitor the results of the simulations at any time.
Suddenly, a head popped in through the car window.
"What are you doing?"
It turned out to be Xue Yong, wearing a committee uniform, holding a flashlight, patrolling!
Cai Xiaozhen remained composed, glanced at Xue Yong's shoulder badge, and knew his rank wasn't high. Understood that Xue Yong didn't have the clearance to know tonight's affairs.
He grinned and effortlessly lied.
"We are from the environmental department, received complaints about noise being too loud, here to monitor it."
Xue Yong was stunned for a moment.
"Noise? There's not even a ghost here, where's the noise coming from?"
Cai Xiaozhen forced a smile.
"What can we do? As long as there's a complaint, we have to come!"
After a few more exchanges of nonsense, Xue Yong left, and the van drove away towards other observation points.
Peach Blossom Eyes sat quietly in the van, switched seats, and sat invisibly beside Cai Xiaozhen, occasionally peering its furry head over to look at Cai Xiaozhen's computer screen, waiting for him to calculate the specific results.
...
The night wind was chilly.
In a secluded spot on campus, amidst the trash heap, beside the abandoned metal newspaper kiosk.
Zhang Qiren, with disheveled hair and a tall, thin frame, sat on a large rock, holding a notebook computer and typing code rapidly. Occasionally, he looked up to observe the outlines of dark clouds in the sky. He occasionally switched screens to open the map of West State University, examining the map's details and checking feng shui information.
Beside him stood a brawny man, quiet and not daring to make a sound, just serving as a faithful sentinel.
At his feet, dozens of Immortal Beast Rain Swifts squatted quietly, ready to take flight at any moment.
There was also a muscular Six-Eared Macaque, its ears perked up, listening to the movements all around.
Suddenly, the Six-Eared Macaque's face was puzzled as it rubbed its ears.
It heard footsteps to the left front, but saw nothing!
What's going on?
At the same time, Star Ear, wearing an Invisibility Cloak, was watching Zhang Qiren's group from a distance. Seeing the Six-Eared Macaque's gaze, it frowned slightly.
Whoa?
Discovered?
It reached its fox claw up to its neck, where a life-saving medicine bottle hung... but felt it was unnecessary. Then it stretched to the small bamboo basket slung over its shoulder... inside the basket was an ice ball.
Foxes aren't to be trifled with!
If discovered by this monkey, just use the ice ball to take out the whole group!
Just then, its master's voice came through its ears.
"Don't bother with these people. Move to another place and wait for now."
Star Ear released the ice ball from its claw and dashed into the distance.
Leaving Zhang Qiren and the others, unaware of anything. Even the brawny bodyguard was puzzled, looking at the Six-Eared Macaque.
"Six Ears, what's wrong with you?
"Why are you trembling? Did you just pee a little?"
...
Soon, on the playground, the lights illuminated the night sky, and the sound system echoed throughout the campus.
The cultural performance after the military training had ended officially started!
On the stage, the leaders were giving speeches.
"...First of all, congratulations to all the students for completing the fifteen-day military training..."
Under the stage, classes were neatly arranged, and students' faces were full of excitement.
"Isn't it almost our turn?"
"The weather tonight, the dark clouds are heavy, could it rain?"
In the Immortal Grass Experimental Class, Bai Mo sat cross-legged on the ground. The students had no chairs, all sitting cross-legged on the grass.
Bai Mo suddenly thought of a question... Su Yaoyao was right beside him, also without a chair, sitting on the ground, how was she sitting? She was wearing a skirt, was she also sitting cross-legged?
Bai Mo stealthily turned his head for a glance, only to see Su Yaoyao with her legs together, knees folded, tightly holding her skirt, sitting in a poised and proper manner.
But, in that moment, her graceful curves were revealed.
Bai Mo was about to turn his gaze away when he was caught sneaking a look by her, and she leaned in close to his ear.
"What, Expert Bai Mo, have you fallen for your elder sister?
"You can try to pursue if you like..."
Bai Mo tugged at his mouth corners.
Could this woman genuinely have sinister intentions towards him?
The female students in the Immortal Grass Experimental Class were all tense, mentally rehearsing the program they were about to perform.
The male students were all frustrated. Why could Bai Mo whisper with a pretty long-skirted, wavy-haired sister? Just because he's handsome? Good grades? Knows immortal techniques?
"Ugh..."
Thinking this, Wan Bocheng lowered his head, looking utterly depressed. Indeed, comparisons are odious, some things don't stack up against others. It seems he really can't compete with Bai Mo...
Time flew by, the programs on stage performed one after another.
The host on stage announced the acts.
"Now please enjoy the skit 'Job Hunting' brought to you by Electronics Class 1."
Under the stage in the Immortal Grass Experimental Class, Lan Fangfang immediately turned, instructing the classmates.
"It's almost our turn!
"Everyone, pay attention."
"I just noticed a row of flower pots placed on the stage's edge.
"When performing on stage, don't get too close to the edge, don't knock over the flower pots!"
Bai Mo looked up, and indeed, on that brightly lit stage, there was a row of flower pots placed at the edge. These were cheap orchids, spaced a few meters apart, with a total of sixteen pots.
"What a coincidence with the number. Could these sixteen pots all become Dream Grass later?"
Bai Mo grinned.
For now, these sixteen pots were still ordinary orchids.
Soon after, the skit on stage ended.
The host came back to announce.
"For the next act, let's enjoy the song and dance performance 'Awaiting the Next Dawn' from the Immortal Grass Experimental Class."
Bai Mo sat in the chair, lifted high by Wu Qingyun with one hand, escorted by the whole class, rushing onto the stage, into the spotlight.
Music played, singing began!
Immediately applause thundered below!
The main thing was the formation was astonishing! Even an acrobatics troupe didn't have such a scene of lifting people on chairs with one hand.
"Bravo!"
"Amazing!"
With the song and dance, applause and cheers continued non-stop below.
Wan Bocheng and Lan Fangfang, among others, were flushed with excitement, dancing with even more enthusiasm! Even though the audience below wasn't really watching them.
Bai Mo sat steadily on the chair, being raised and lowered by Wu Qingyun to the music's rhythm, but he was still thinking about the Dream Grass.
Star Ear and Round Ears were cautiously searching. But they hadn't found it yet.
Zhang Qiren was calculating over there, and Cai Xiaozhen was also busy with calculations. The code lines on both their computers were scrolling rapidly, no way to tell how the progress was.
Then suddenly, the sky flashed with lightning! The electric light flickered and darted across the gaps in the black clouds!
After that, thunder rumbled from the sky.
The students under the stage frowned one by one.
"The weather forecast said there'd be no rain."
"If it really rains, will the performance be interrupted?"
"Oh please, no!"
...
In the trash heap.
Zhang Qiren looked up, watching the shapes and outlines of the lightning, and after hearing the rumbling thunder.
He quickly processed this information, converting it into data, typing it rapidly into the computer!
With the last piece of data, the calculation result was out!
A brand new window popped up on the computer screen, and there it was, the map of West State University. A point on the map was highlighted, exactly where the West State University playground was, right at the brightly lit singing and dancing stage!
Above Zhang Qiren's head, a single black strand of hair opened its eye at the tip, staring at the computer screen.
The brawny man behind him reached out quietly, going to pinch that eyeball, pluck that hair!
Sweat beaded on the brawny man's forehead, his body trembled, but his hand was steady!
What is this thing? It's terrifying!
He wanted to help the boss remove it!
Just then he heard Zhang Qiren's voice!
"Stop!
"You can't touch it. If you move it, I'll die!"
Zhang Qiren had long known about the existence of this hair and eye, but he vaguely understood that he couldn't touch it!
He just slightly raised his head.
"You saw it, the coordinates are right there.
"Once you succeed, can you let me study the thing?
"It's crucial research!
"It's about the future of dreams and humanity!"
