Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

The doctors from the rehabilitation department also arrived upon hearing the news, instructing the use of various rehabilitation training equipment for testing.

Given that this arm was nearly completely severed before and has now newly healed, it is currently weaker than the other arm. However, with proper training, its strength can also be fully restored.

These surgical experts who specialize in complex operations immediately thought of the lineup of patients waiting for surgery, including many critical internal medicine patients in urgent need of operations.

They couldn't help but ponder that if this Healing System Awakener were involved, the surgical risk would surely be greatly reduced.

The experts who could learn such news were all of unusual status, and appointments were made through specialized expert numbers. When they started thinking, it represented that their ideas would be reported back above soon.

The injured team member completed the examination and received the rehabilitation doctor's orders before happily returning home. Meanwhile, the medical experts' report was also submitted upwards.

That night, many people were unable to sleep. The stronger Ye Nai's abilities demonstrated, the more they were unsure how to plan her post-war development path.

She could go to the battlefield, engage in agronomy, or enter the medical field, and she indeed had an emergency certificate as a Beginner First Aider, following this path upward, it was entirely possible for her to become a surgical giant in the battlefield.

The next day, which was Sunday, Ye Nai indeed stayed at home all day. In the morning, she slept in; in the afternoon, she ordered a lot of takeout, stocked up on snacks, sweets, and drinks, and also checked on the injured security team member's arm to see if there was any discomfort.

Learning that everything was fine, she was reassured, as it was the first time relying entirely on spore treatment without any involvement of surgical operations.

When Monday arrived, Ye Nai drove her car and went to the cafeteria with her security team for breakfast. After eating, she left the vehicle to meet with four academicians one by one, eventually forming a large convoy heading to the neighboring research institute.

They arrived at the laboratory, just reaching the floor designated for fungal research, when they received a notification from the administration that the new project team had already arrived downstairs.

The academicians brought their students and warmly made their presence known, with three academicians—two women and one man—all being familiar faces in the circle.

After all, broadly speaking, conducting fungal research also falls into the field of agricultural research.

For such an important laboratory, the authorities must consider the relationship between the parties and whether they can collaborate well when selecting personnel.

Though their research fields were not the same, there was only one key figure between them. If they couldn't get along, however, it could be a tad troublesome.

This newly arrived project team was primarily focused on staple crop cultivation research, led by three academicians and seven doctoral students, with each equipped with their own security team.

During work, security personnel were stationed at the rooftop and ground floor for guarding to prevent unlikely terrorist attacks.

Although malicious cases of foreign forces assassinating scientists within the borders have long ceased, evil people still emerge endlessly.

Especially those evil people with superpower abilities, who particularly like to target research institutions that have some guards but aren't overly strong. They're well aware that such places must have good things and there is a chance of success.

These people are very clever. As for tightly guarded places, the military weaponry's defense is the strictest, yet no one has ever tried to rob such places.

After a brief handshake and greeting, the group divided themselves among several elevators to reach the upstairs empty conference room to first learn about the laboratory's rules and regulations.

Everyone entered the conference room, and before all could grab chairs from the wall and sit down, the new project team couldn't wait to ask a crucial question.

"Who is the Awakener that can open the Transmission Port?"

To show her status as a Junior Archivist, Ye Nai was calmly standing behind the crowd. Upon hearing the question, she immediately brought out a pot of steaming cooked corn from the Space.

Those in front of her made way, pushing her towards the new academicians.

"Everyone, have you eaten breakfast? Try this new corn," Ye Nai said with a smile.

"Such a fragrance, with a hint of energy!"

Before the three academicians could react, the doctoral students behind them were sniffing and showing pleasant expressions.

"Did you grow this corn?"

"Such a young lady, did you have farming experience before?"

"Are you the one who opened the Transmission Port?"

Seeing the young Ye Nai, the three academicians were equally surprised and each posed a question.

"Yes, it's me, it's all me, a city dweller with no farming experience, all self-taught, randomly planted," Ye Nai said, smiling and nodding.

"Too modest, too modest, those who've never farmed can't even turn the soil properly, let alone grow something and harvest it."

Having confirmed the actual key figure, the academicians weren't polite any longer. Accompanied by the doctoral students, each took a piece of corn and bit into it, their mouths filled with aromatic flavors.

"Wow, it feels like biting into energy."

"Also, it's gentle and doesn't cause harm, ordinary people can eat it."

"Exactly, it doesn't burn the mouth. Mutant Beast Meat gives ordinary people a burning sensation, but this doesn't—just the fragrance, the aroma of corn."

"Can we see the farm? How does the farm look now?"

"The field has been plowed after harvesting, nothing's there. In Secret Realm farming, rest periods are needed, leave it after harvest, wait for the next year."

"Must it rest? What if you force cultivation?"

"Nothing comes of it, seeds rot but just won't sprout."

"Has there been experience with this? When did cultivation start?"

"The land was plowed last year, and formal cultivation started this spring. Previously, there was experience in stimulating plant growth; after stimulating growth on the same land, subsequent attempts failed, needing a different plot. This is the case for naturally growing large fields too—the land's power is depleted, no matter how much fertilizer is used, seeds prefer to rot rather than sprout."

"So, is it that the Secret Realm's soil lacks certain elements, causing food to never grow before?"

"That's quite normal, after all. They are two different planets; ecosystem and microbial systems are different. Blue Star's seeds don't grow in Secret Realm; it's not surprising."

"What's lacking? We've used various soil microbial systems, and taken Secret Realm soil to cultivate with Blue Star's soil microbial systems, but haven't succeeded."

"Yes, it's all normal because Blue Star's ecosystem wasn't ready. So, previous experiments failed no matter how many times conducted. Now, considering farming in Secret Realm is possible, but mustn't rush."

"So, are you the representative of Blue Star's ecosystem?" The academicians made a joking remark.

Ye Nai nodded seriously.

"Yes, I'm the representative."

"Eh?"

This statement left the academicians, doctoral students, and security personnel all stunned.
