After changing clothes, Yang Genshuo brought out 10 golden Spirit Rice grains.
They were complete with roots, stems, leaves, and seeds.
At first glance, they looked similar to the common rice.
"Eh? A new variety of rice? Which laboratory bred this? Do you have the genetic map?"
Cheng Bo needed only one glance to realize that this wasn't a current rice variety.
"You have a sharp eye, but this wasn't bred in a lab. It's a naturally grown variety of rice. I want you to help me see what's different about it compared to traditional rice and whether we can cultivate it in a lab or a greenhouse."
If Spirit Rice could be cultivated on Earth, that would be interesting. He could realize many bizarre ideas.
Although the level of energy in the Immortal Cultivation World was much higher than on Earth, Yang Genshuo still believed that modern science could do things that cultivators could not. Empowering the Yang family with science could give them a more stable footing in the ruthless world of Immortal Cultivation.
Researching Spirit Rice was the first step he was taking.
Cheng Bo peeled a grain of rice and placed it under the high-magnification microscope. He took one look and his face suddenly changed.
"There's radiation! There are radioactive elements in this rice grain!"
"Genshuo, you need to get a full body check immediately!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, it can't be that sinister, right? We're wearing lab suits, they also protect against radiation. Take another look."
"Hmm... if it's radiation, then the emergence of a new deformed variety would also make sense." Cheng Bo frowned tightly.
Yang Genshuo was bewildered by Cheng Bo's mention of 'radiation'.
What happened to the Spirit Rice?
Ordinary people would become healthier and more resistant to diseases if they ate it, so how could it be related to radiation?
Cheng Bo placed the rice grain into various instruments for analysis. Several hours later, he held a stack of test reports in his hands.
His tightly furrowed brows also eased.
"This kind of radiation... doesn't seem to pose a threat to the human body, it even seems to inspire a certain special reaction in the body, a reaction I've never seen mentioned in any paper."
"But from the results and tests, it seems to be beneficial, like... like infrared radiation. A proper exposure can speed up wound healing and relieve muscle fatigue."
"As incredible as it is, maybe we've discovered a new type of radiation that is beneficial to the human body."
After contemplating the report for a while, Cheng Bo grabbed Yang Genshuo, his expression excited.
"Genshuo, we're going to win a Nobel Prize."
Yang Genshuo also let out a sigh of relief.
I thought so~ After all, it's food for Immortals. How could it be harmful?
At this time, Yang Genshuo was also starting to understand.
The 'radiation' mentioned by Cheng Bo must be the Spiritual Energy stored in the Spirit Rice.
He calmed the excited Cheng Bo.
"Old Dao, I know you're eager, but calm down. This matter must be kept between us, I'll tell you the reasons later."
"What I want to know now is whether this stuff can be cultivated in your lab."
Cheng Bo, seemingly not quite understanding, flailed his arms excitedly.
"Genshuo, the Nobel Prize, man! We're going to make our country proud!"
"But can it be cultivated?"
Seeing Yang Genshuo's calm demeanor, Cheng Bo's passion gradually dissipated, and the years of tacit understanding between them made him seem to grasp something.
"Theoretically... yes."
"Good, this matter stays between us, got it?"
"Great, that's my boy!"
"Cut it out!" Fresh chapters posted on n0velfire.net
The two men locked the laboratory door, Cheng Bo went back to the dormitory to rest, and Yang Genshuo called Zhao Tiansi to go home and fetch medicine.
Walking the tarred roads of the campus, enjoying the wonderful atmosphere of the university, Yang Genshuo felt as if he had returned to his own college days, and his mood was extremely good.
In front of him, a group of college students strolled leisurely, talking and laughing on the road after what seemed like a club activity, both men and women, looking like they had finished some club event.
"Wanting, I heard you broke up with that greasy Mid-Term? Is it true?"
"Oh, come on~ I told you he wasn't my boyfriend. We just met playing murder mystery games and he added me on WeChat and kept bothering me. I felt bad always rejecting him, so we just had a few meals together."
One of the boys named Fei Yang immediately got excited:
"Ah? Really? Then... actually, I've liked you all along. I've liked you since the first day of school. Could you... give me a chance? I'll definitely treat you right!"
"You'll have to get in line then. Yesterday, Zhao Tiansi from Zhao Group just added our Wanting on WeChat. He's coming on strong. I wonder if you can compete with him?"
Her friend Xiaoxiao teased on the side, making Fei Yang feel embarrassed.
Chen Wanting smiled genteelly: "Actually, the identity of the other half... isn't important to me. As long as he's willing to put in the effort and treats me well, that's all that matters."
Fei Yang's hopes soared immediately.
"Wanting, look at how I'm doing, I promise no one will treat you better than I will!"
The classmates teased one another, and Chen Wanting smiled, handling the situation with ease.
But Yang Genshuo had a different opinion about the content of their conversation.
