In the break room, Mo Lanyou sat on the sofa, setting out a large platter of crystal pears.
"Co on, Expert Bai Mo, have a taste!
"Now that you’re the new neighbor, I won’t invite you for a al, but do try this!
"These aren’t just ordinary pears, they are the academic achievent that helped earn my doctorate in agricultural science!"
Bai Mo grinned broadly.
"It’s the first ti I’ve seen such a big pear.
"Let’s give it a try!"
This pear was as large as a dragon fruit!
Fang Xiaoyu and Big Golden Cuff also eagerly picked one up.
Crunch! Crunch...
With a few crisp bites, the juice splattered as the flesh entered their mouths.
Big Golden Cuff swallowed the flesh, licked the corner of his mouth, and frowned slightly.
"Huh?"
He wondered if his taste had beco too spoiled by the fruits he ate at Fox Mountain?
Why did this pear taste astringent, not sweet, and have a gritty, chewy texture, not crispy.
Beside him, Fang Xiaoyu also fell into contemplation while looking at the bitten pear.
Was it just a coincidence?
The one she bit into was awful!
Yet she saw Bai Mo holding a large pear with a small bite taken out of it, hesitating for words under Mo Lanyou’s expectant gaze.
"This... this pear... has a unique flavor!
"Ah, yes, it would probably be great for wine brewing!"
Fang Xiaoyu and Big Golden Cuff looked at Bai Mo, eyes filled with amazent. To find such an angle to praise it? Is this what people refer to as high EQ?
Mo Lanyou gave an awkward smile.
"Oh! This! The taste is whatever.
"That’s how agriculture is.
"I have a senior who bred rice that’s more prone to lodging, and a brother who bred potatoes more susceptible to disease, and they both graduated just fine.
"Though the taste of this pear is ordinary, it has a unique skill, take a look!"
He moved closer with his phone to show Bai Mo and the others the pear tree.
The pear tree was small and thin, yet it bore large and round fruits that weighed heavily on the branches.
Mo Lanyou boasted proudly.
"How about it? I’ve been working at school for many years, selecting, breeding, planting, pruning, grafting... it took a herculean effort to create this new variety, and its most outstanding trait is yielding large fruits on thin branches!
"For a pear tree, its job is to grow pears. It doesn’t need a thick trunk or many leaves. Just obediently grow pears.
"Although this pear tree is poor at wind resistance, susceptible to pests and diseases, and only lives for three years... it can still generously provide us with pears!
"Its life is shorter than other pear trees, but it’s more brilliant!
"Sadly, there’s no market for it, no fruit farrs willing to help promote planting it.
"Sigh... Expert Bai Mo, you ntioned brewing wine. That’s truly given a new idea! I’ll have to study it later!"
Bai Mo and the others gave an awkward smile, watching Mo Lanyou begin eating a pear himself, so they reluctantly joined him, munching on the pears.
As they chewed the unpalatable pears, the group chatted casually, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Fang Xiaoyu took out her phone again, showing it to everyone.
"Recently, there’s been a fierce argunt going on in the Immortal Discussion Forum.
"One side is fans of the West State Boss, and the other side is the haters of the West State Boss..."
Huh?
Bai Mo furrowed his brows.
Haters?
"Where did he get haters?"
Fang Xiaoyu nodded seriously.
"There really are so!"
Mo Lanyou snorted coldly.
"No matter when, there are always idiots and extremists."
Fang Xiaoyu leaned forward with her phone, and Bai Mo and the others crowded around to see. Big Golden Cuff, maintaining the fine tradition of Fox Mountain, widened his eyes and leaned his furry head over to have a look.
[The West State Boss is just afraid of the Ghost ssenger Patrol]
[People have co to his door to urinate, if he wasn’t scared, why didn’t he act?]
[I’ve disdained this guy for a long ti]
[He’s utterly unreliable!]
Bai Mo remained expressionless, feeling awkward internally... that night he really wasn’t in West State! How did this get turned into an attack?
The forum’s rational fans were more nurous, all retorting.
[What’s up with the Ghost ssenger Patrol? It didn’t cause any casualties in West State]
[Isn’t it possible that the Ghost ssenger Patrol in West State is just an illusion?]
[Maybe the West State Boss went on vacation? Is that not allowed?]
The haters refuted again.
[Illusion, my ass!]
[I saw the Ghost ssenger Patrol in Beihai City from my balcony, the Beihai Boss was beaten and vanquished]
[The Ghost ssenger Patrol is a truly terrifying Immortal Technique!]
[Even though the Beihai Boss didn’t manage it, at least he showed up to fight, whereas the West State Boss chickened out, I look down on him]
Fang Xiaoyu continued scrolling through the posts, and soon ca across an explosive reply that instantly silenced the crowd.
[Such bullshit! What are you? Why don’t you go face the Ghost ssenger Patrol? You just hide in the corner wetting your pants, bragging behind the keyboard. Do you know how terrifying the West State Boss is? With your level of trash, do you have the right to evaluate others? Do you even know if there were any confrontations? Without any casualties in West State, do you know what happened? Whose waist belt wasn’t fastened, leaving you loose...]
Bai Mo twitched his mouth in shock.
This person’s nickna is [Wild Gatling], he sure curses as wildly!
The familiar machine-gun style, could it be Wang E?
No... Wang E is now a wanted cybercriminal, he wouldn’t dare go on the Immortal Discussion Forum.
So who is this troll?
Fang Xiaoyu laughed.
"This Wild Gatling is the new fan leader of the West State Boss, the head of his fan club! Often showers praise and frequently cos out to scold the haters!
"Also, he seems to be sowhat of a privilege abuser, often banning the haters’ accounts."
Bai Mo smacked his lips, not knowing how to comnt.
Mo Lanyou clicked his tongue in admiration, "This guy did a great job!"
