"Ah Qing, buy me two bags of chips, tonight I have a date with the principal's couch!"
On the way to pick up a package, passing by the campus supermarket, Ansheng patted Ah Qing and asked her to scan a code and buy chips for him. He planned to eat chips on the principal's couch tonight.
The best outcome would be for the food crumbs to attract ants, which would fiercely bite the principal's crotch.
"Chips won't do! That stuff is too heaty, and we don't have herbal tea in Chang'an."
Upon hearing the little fox wanted to eat chips, Ah Qing frowned and thought for a moment before refusing: "But, as a trade-off, Xiaolan, you can have a big coke today, 500 ml!"
Xiaolan had been behaving well recently, not clamoring for coke, diligently eating a diet meal, so Ah Qing thought it was okay to let him indulge a bit.
But chips were a no-go, too greasy and salty, and apart from sugar, everything else was over the top.
"I wasn't going to eat it anyway..." Ansheng muttered, but seeing that Ah Qing offered him coke, he let it go.
At the package depot, Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing started rummaging through the packages.
To Ansheng's astonishment, Mo Yiqing pulled out a concrete mixer from inside the package depot.
A real concrete mixer, albeit not very big, modified from a tricycle, with a tricycle front and a mixing drum attached to the back.
Then.
Cranes, cutting machines, pickaxes, hammers, and other civil engineering tools, Mo Yiqing tossed all of them into the concrete mixer. Finally, she sat on the tricycle holding a pot of freshly sprouted Pear Tree Cactus.
Ah Qing also emerged from the depot, holding a pot of colorful chrysanthemums.
"Ah Qing... are you sure you and Momo are both students of the College of Agriculture?"
Ansheng looked at Ah Qing, utterly dumbfounded, and asked her a question.
What kind of agricultural student needs a concrete mixer while studying?
Seeing those laser levels, chalk lines, and high-precision surveying tools.
If he didn't know Mo Yiqing, Ansheng would definitely have thought she was going to a construction site to mix cement.
"Hehe..."
Seeing the little fox's shocked expression, Ah Qing cheekily said: "Momo is a student of Agricultural Resources and Environmental Science, every year, the experimental fields are built by students of Resources and Environmental Science."
"At the beginning of the school year, we have to go up the mountain to collect soil and environmental samples, analyze them, and then Momo's group has to dismantle the old experimental fields and build one that meets environmental standards by hand."
"We're doing breeding, and when all the crops are harvested, we can take a break and go home."
Wang Qiqi led Ansheng around the school, actually viewing what the previous students left behind.
The experimental fields at the school are in two parts, one for students and one for professors.
Students of Agricultural Resources and Environment must dismantle irrigation ditches left by senior students, eliminate pollution, and then rebuild new experimental fields, and adjust and modify the soil in the student experimental fields.
The seeds of crops in the experimental fields are provided by the agriculture professors and grown and managed by students.
Ah Qing is responsible for plant care, breeding, studying genetic traits, and the elective course in soil science.
Momo and her group are responsible for regulating the experimental fields and the study of fertilizer science and soil science.
The experimental field standards are very strict, and the farmland for students to use freely is outside the school, requiring about a five-kilometer tricycle ride.
The school provides electric tricycles and tractors.
This is also why school regulations prohibit students from racing tricycles and tractors.
Because....
The school really has tricycles and tractors.
While they are all agriculture students, their main specialized fields differ. The major agriculture courses are taken together, but the specialized courses are separate. During study, research and labor are done in different group collaborations, allowing them to integrate into the workforce without any training required once they enter society.
...
"Momo! The hammer is with me!"
"The cables and impact drill are with me!"
"The conduit heat fusion machine, and hardware are with me."
As Momo drives the mixer back, the students of the Resource and Environmental Science major pull out items typically seen in the civil engineering industry from the dormitory, tossing them into Momo's small mixer.
These tools are just a small part; they also have small excavators and bulldozers.
But it's still early, and most students and rich buddies haven't returned yet.
"Resource and Environment students are really rich." Ansheng, seeing the tools they pooled resources to buy, couldn't help but jest:
"After graduation, you could probably directly register a construction company, nobody can outdo you at cement mixing."
"It's off the charts that you even managed to get a bulldozer."
The four major disciplines of biology, chemistry, environmental, and materials are notorious money pits, how could one choose the Resource and Environmental Science major without some family capital.
A group of rich guys and gals naturally won't do cement mixing manually.
New era mechanization and automation are in place.
Mo Yiqing and Tang You are both in Environmental Science, one has a factory family, another in animal husbandry, in line with their profession.
"But, with how fiercely you're working, won't it lead to the school being shut down by an archaeological team?"
Recollecting the Fox Kingdom experience, and considering the locality's uniqueness, Ansheng made a subtle remark, looking at those students.
Better not get an excavator going and have the archaeological team rush over to set up a perimeter line.
...
At half-past one in the morning.
After eating two pounds of yak jerky, Ansheng quietly slipped out from the balcony, with his phone in his mouth.
"Hello? Housekeeper Lin? Come to get me from school, we're taking a trip to Fox Kingdom later."
Ansheng landed on the dormitory ground, stood up, completely ignored the surrounding surveillance cameras, and walked off-campus, making a call to Lin Bingyun to have her send over a car.
"Woof?"
The pandas scattered across the campus paused slightly upon seeing Master Fox wandering around the campus.
Not even pretending anymore?
Ansheng rode Mo Yiqing's two-wheeled electric bike straight to the experimental building on campus.
"When I say I'm raiding your armory, I mean it. Master Fox always delivers."
Ansheng parked the bike in front of the experimental building, and utilizing his immense physical prowess, went hand and foot, climbing vertically and easily reached the top of the thirteenth floor within the experimental building.
But Master Fox's sudden appearance nearly scared the little ones on the thirteenth-floor corridor out of their wits.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Two golden monkeys, seated in the corridor enjoying fruit peels, let out frightened cries, looking at the fox climbing the wall in utter bewilderment.
"Ma...Master Fox! Wh-why are you here!"
Once over the initial panic, the golden monkeys recognized who was climbing the wall and hastily asked.
"Golden monkeys..."
Ansheng paused upon seeing the two little monkeys, then quickly remembered: "Oh! I know you!"
"You're underlings of, what's-their-face again? I momentarily forgot the woodcutter's name."
Wang Qiqi and the Golden Leopard, and their partner, the woodcutter, whose ally is the Monkey King.
Ansheng forgot his name but remembered his partner was the Monkey King.
And now these two golden monkeys were evidently stationed here by that woodcutter.
"You guys eat your banana peels, I'm just here for a stroll, don't worry, I won't go inside."
Ansheng confidently assured them.
