Chapter 693 What's in the Box
"Scroll through quickly, I also want to know where those strange fruits came from." Lu Yingying urged.
"They are brought by cosmic ocean currents." Malu replied.
He had asked Lao Wang this question early on, and Lao Wang also gave a clear answer. Those strange fruits, or drifting fruits, move between planes along with the cosmic ocean currents.
Ma Lu felt a little disappointed when he saw Ye Wangshu trying so hard to study something that he had known about for a long time.
"Ah?" Lu Yingying was surprised, "Why do you know? Wait, what are cosmic ocean currents again."
"The cosmic ocean current is the ocean current between the planes of the universe." Ma Lu said, "It will bring those strange fruits from one universe to another. Most of the ocean currents are relatively stable, but some of them will change. This universe has a high probability of It just caught up with a changing ocean current, so those strange fruits came with it. "
"Huh? Is that so?"
"That's it."
As Ma Lu spoke, he continued to scroll down, and saw that Ye Wangshu continued to investigate and visit, trying to figure out the truth behind this, but in the following decades, he kept hitting walls everywhere.
The main reason is that his direction was wrong from the beginning, and he has been moving closer to the side of gods, ghosts and monsters. Only if he can find out the ghosts.
However, when Ye Wangshu was sixty-eight years old, he accidentally found the strange piece of metal in the box in an ancient tomb. He discovered that this piece of metal could actually hurt those invulnerable fruits.
Later, in order to further verify the effect of this metal piece, Ye Wangshu went into the disaster zone and used this piece of metal to cut off a strange fruit and brought it out.
Ye Wangshu transplanted the strange fruit to a secret place in the back mountain and tried to cultivate it. However, the strange fruit died two months later.
Ye Wangshu did not give up. Not long after, he secretly dug up another plant and took good care of it. However, this time only a month later, the fruit withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. He tried every means, but The exotic fruit plant still died after half a month.
Ye Wangshu tried three times in total, and after failing three times, he finally gave up the idea completely, and he didn't know where he heard the rumor.
He said that these exotic fruits were auspicious things, and if they were taken away by force, they would be inflicted with sinful karma and would be unable to be reborn forever. Therefore, Ye Wangshu never dug up exotic fruits secretly again. He was also worried that others would get into trouble if they got this piece of metal. Greed originally wanted to destroy this piece of metal.
He thought about finding a deep mountain and old forest to bury this thing, or throwing it directly into the sea, but at the last moment he felt it was a pity, so he kept it in an iron box with the diary, and then put it in the secret room under the library.
This secret has only been known to the descendants of the Ye family. At the end of his diary, Ye Wangshu warned the descendants who opened the iron box to protect the metal piece and prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives.
After reading the diary, Lu Yingying was greatly shocked.
"In other words, with this metal piece, we can dig out the alien fruits in the disaster zone. Although they cannot be planted, these materials alone can be sold for a lot of money. No wonder Luo Xiangshitie I have to get it even if I’m determined!”
After speaking, Lu Yingying looked at the other people in the room, only to find that only Li Zhengwei was as shocked as she was.
Cao Youyi was left slightly moved, but Ma Lu and Qiu Tong's reactions were both calm, and Qiu Tong even had a strange look on his face.
"Hey, why aren't you surprised? This is a treasure that can dig out strange results. Once the news gets out, it will cause an earthquake in the entire education world!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tong looked at Malu, who nodded, "We are all our own people here today, it doesn't matter."
"Then I said it."
"Say it."
"Principal Ma has something similar in his hands."
The girl took a deep breath and said that she had witnessed Malu packing the exotic fruits away with a chef's knife. She was already shocked at that time, so she could be so calm now.
As for Cao Youyi, although Ma Lu didn't tell her, in order to gather high-end materials for making talismans, after Ma Lu caught those drifting fruits in the past two weeks, he would leave a lot of them for Houde and let Cao Youyi exchange them.
Cao Youyi also guessed something from the abnormal harvest quantity.
Lu Yingying was shocked again and looked at Ma Lu again, "Ah, Principal Ma, you can dig out the strange fruit too? But why didn't I see you bring it back?"
"Because I took most of them home directly." Malu said truthfully.
The things in the iron box actually had a similar effect to a chef's knife, which surprised Ma Lu.
He definitely wouldn't be able to use this thing himself, because the metal piece was less than a quarter of the size of a chef's knife, and it would be quite difficult to use it to peel those drifting fruits.
But that doesn't mean it has no value.
Because Ma Lu can only come once a week and stay for 17 hours at most, and disaster zones are generally spread far away, so even if there is a plane, he can only go to two or three places at most.
But with this metal piece, even if Houde's students go to clean up the disaster zone when he is away, they can also bring back the drifting fruits inside. In this way, Malu only needs to come to collect the goods regularly.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
He then handed the metal piece to Cao Youyi, and asked Cao Youyi to be responsible for assigning it to the team that would go out in the future. Next, Ma Lu planned to order several more scientific research projects that could enhance the ability of Houde teachers and students to survive in disaster zones.
In this way, next week he will be able to open the right of Houde teachers and students to go out.
After hearing this, Lu Yingying couldn't help but feel a little worried, "But Principal Ye warned in his diary that the exotic fruits are auspicious things, and digging them up by the roots will bring sin and punishment."
"It doesn't matter. If there is really a sin, it will be my responsibility as the principal. Just dig it up with confidence."
Malu waved his hand. His job was to collect food ingredients everywhere, so he naturally sneered at this kind of feudal superstition.
After checking the spoils of war, Malu asked others to leave the office, but Cao Youyi stayed behind to prepare for the aftermath.
The grievances between Houde and Mingxia Group came to an end for the time being. Luo Xiangshi must be unhappy with this result, but Mingxia can no longer beat Houde, and in Dongshan Province, with Chairman Li's protection, Luo Xiangshi can't do anything to Houde.
It just so happened that the insect eggs were about to complete another upgrade, and Malu was about to leave this plane.
He said to Cao Youyi, "I'm going on a long trip, and I may be away for a long time. I want you to be the principal of Houde."
"You are going on a long trip, going abroad?" Cao Youyi was stunned.
"Almost."
"Why," Cao Youyi was puzzled, "I don't want to interfere with your decision, I'm just not sure if you realize everything you have built here.
"Now Pingcheng, the entire Dongshan Province, and even the whole country are talking about you and Houde under your leadership. The miracle you created brought a Fushi School that ranked at the bottom and was on the verge of bankruptcy all the way to the top. Don't you want to see where it can go?"
