Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Invisible Advertising

"Have these soils been re-fertilized?"

"Yes, there was a period when they weren’t used, so I turned them over and added some fertilizer to improve the soil. Is there a problem?"

"No problem! I’m just amazed—no wonder these vegetables are growing so well!"

Sun Zhengning squatted in the field, inspecting each item, "What’s this?"

"This is a smart agriculture product launched during one of my live streams. It allows convenient monitoring of soil and crop growth."

Chi Youyou took the chance to advertise.

"So this is it!"

"Mr. Sun, you know about it?"

"Of course! I watch your stream every day, and just a couple of days ago, the dean mentioned it. Our institute is actually planning to introduce a batch!"

Sun Zhengning looked at the small machine in front of him. The screen displayed comprehensive information; it served as an alert system, providing planting guidelines and corresponding suggestions based on crop growth and future weather conditions over several days.

"I didn’t expect to see the real thing today. I bet the dean will be very pleased."

[Whoa, is this an advertisement?]

[An invisible ad, feels even more impressive!]

[So funny, Mr. Sun’s expression doesn’t look like an ad~]

[Exactly, he’s genuinely interested, not acting!]

[For someone in the agriculture field, this thing is truly impressive. Technology is leading agricultural development!]

[Our Huaxia will keep getting better and better!]

[The Song Family nailed it with this one!]

[Mr. Sun: Please settle the advertising fee]

[Youzi really found a kindred spirit this episode, Su Shen and Director Jin couldn’t even get a word in and ended up secretly planning a date~]

[Hahaha, I was just wondering what those two were doing standing there, turns out they were openly planning a date!]

[Ehhh, no date planned, people from the other two farms have arrived!]

A group of people walked toward them from in front of the screen.

"Teacher Su, Teacher Jinshu!"

Nan Zhi waved her hand toward them, "We’ve finished up on both sides, brought the two teachers over to tour your Farm No.1~ Please don’t be unwelcoming!"

"How could we, Teacher Nan Zhi, your guidance is warmly welcomed."

Su Jinxiao stepped forward to greet them, but he hadn’t reached them when Mr. Li and Teacher Qian had already walked past him and swiftly headed for Sun Zhengning and Chi Youyou.

"What are you discussing?"

"Is this batch one of those short-cycle cabbages?"

"This is also a short-cycle vegetable, yes, very suitable for short-term operational models!"

...

The two of them jumped right into a barrage of talk, asking questions while speaking, not even waiting for answers, more like talking to themselves.

[Experts are terrifying!]

[Why do I find them so adorable!]

[Hahaha, they’re not like the stereotypical stiff experts I imagined, I like it~]

[All they care about are the crops; they’ve probably forgotten they’re live streaming!]

[Teachers, once the stream ends, and you see the online comments, you’ll regret it!]

"You finished so quickly?"

Seeing these two, Sun Zhengning felt overwhelmed, as he was having a good chat with Youbao!

"It’s already been almost two hours!"

He glanced at his watch, and indeed it was, "We got so caught up in our conversation, we lost track of time."

As soon as he said this, he received eye rolls from the other two teachers.

Chi Youyou watched the three of them, her brows arching into a smile. This scene was immediately caught by sharp-eyed viewers.

[Youbao looks like she’s watching a show.]

[Hahaha, at this moment, Youbao is just like us!]

[Youbao’s curved eyes when she smiles are so pretty, ah ah ah, she’s definitely a budding beauty!]

[There’s starlight in her eyes!]

[I bet the program team is really stressed now; they said three groups were supposed to compete, but they’re all together!]

[Hahaha, sisters, for some reason, seeing the program team flustered makes me very happy!]

...

Indeed, the director was feeling troubled seeing everyone together, but with experts present, he couldn’t overstep!

"Director, what should we do about today’s situation?"

The assistant glanced at the comments, sneaking a peek at the director, who indeed had his brows furrowed.

Youzi is clearly today’s variety show anomaly!

Originally, each expert was supposed to visit a different farm, and there would be a crop planting competition. Given the current circumstances, the entire competition seemed impossible.

"A planting competition might be difficult, but we can have a fish-catching competition!"

The main director, spotting the fish pond in the back, had a sudden idea.

"Alright, I’ll go notify them in a bit!"

As expected of the director, no matter what, he had to orchestrate some entertainment.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth it if they didn’t create some fun!

Little did they know the program team had a new plan; they continued chatting over there.

"The past two times, we were so focused on farm development that we hadn’t had the chance to sit down and chat!"

"Exactly, today we have the experts to thank for the chance to relax a bit."

"I can guarantee the director won’t let us idle!"

"Hahaha, you’re right. I see the staff coming over!"

Aside from Chi Youyou and the three in the field, everyone else sat on the side. Fang Yifei smiled helplessly, pointing out the approaching staff.

"Feifei, what a crow’s mouth you have!"

Nan Zhi slapped her forehead.

Sure enough, they soon heard the staff relay the message, serving only as an emotionless relay tool.

[So funny, I thought we could slack off today, but there’s no escaping it!]

[Turns out, I just want to slack off, just like the entertainers.]

[Falling apart one by one, the program team is stirring things up again!]

[Youzi was great at catching fish before; this time it’s going to be a one-sided crush, isn’t it?]

"Well, this time, even the fish-catching will be done by drawing lots to pick participants, making it relatively fairer."

The staff announced the competition rules and added one more line at the end.

Cheng Shujin had been discussing with Su Jinxiao about sending Youzi for their team, only to have cold water splashed over the idea.

Even more surprising to him was the drawing result:

Farm No.1, Jinshu;

Farm No.2, Shen Ling;

Farm No.3, Ye Jia.

"Director, may I ask if today’s competition counts towards the final score?"

Cheng Shujin felt like banging his head against a wall, asking himself if he maybe skipped reading the almanac before coming out today.

[Director Jin is resisting with every fiber of his being!]

[Director Jin: This is too hard for me!]

[Director Jin: I’ve already left the group chat, you guys continue!]

...

The comments section was unanimously filled with Jinshu’s internal monologue. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He probably never expected his fans to understand him so deeply!

He looked expectantly at the director, only to be met with these words:

"Teacher Jinshu, although it’s a small competition, if there’s no incentive, it won’t be as interesting, don’t you think? This time, the results of the fish-catching competition will also be included in the total score~"
