I Raise Gu Scientifically, Yet You Call It Heaven-Defying Comprehension

An Changning is teaching in a remote mountain village when a landslide causes him to transmigrate. He mistakenly thinks he has arrived in an ordinary village.

The people in the mountains have a tradition of refining Gu:

The failure rate is high?

Someone: "A high failure rate? It's just a matter of factors like temperature, humidity, air pressure, and medicinal potency. Can't we just control the variables?"

Gu come in three grades. Miscellaneous Gu have unclear effects, and seed Gu are difficult to cultivate.

Someone: "Difficult to cultivate? Then don't cultivate them one at a time. We'll standardize the process and mass-produce them."

Whether the Golden Silkworm Gu succeeds depends on fate?

Someone: "Better to rely on probability than fate. We'll quantify the variables and run multiple double-blind trials."

What if our success rate at refining Gu skyrockets, and they're suddenly everywhere?

Someone: "Perfect. I can lead everyone to prosperity."

That family's Cloud Spider Gu can spin silk? Great, let's make silk.

That family's Queen-and-Worker Ant Bee Gu can't collect honey? No problem. We can turn it into royal jelly.

And you over there, you say the Termite Gu is useless except for chopping wood?

Haven't you noticed that its venom corrodes only lignin, without damaging the fibers?

What are you standing around for? Let's make paper!

And so An Changning, who had only been working hard for a promotion, somehow ended up becoming the Gu God.
