They All Want to Hitch Their Wagons to the Plant-Type Prodigy

Shennong Medicine Cultivator Baicao failed her tribulation and returned to the Interstellar Federation, her happy home.

Faced with the mutant plants she hadn't seen in hundreds of years, charging at her with their enormous, gaping mouths, Baicao was deeply moved. Then she brewed them into herbal tea: "Wah, my friends, you're so good at cooling me down!"

The entire interstellar world has only one school with a botany department: Beishu Military Academy of the Nanxingdun Empire. It is known as the most useless major.

If you have spiritual power, go into healing. If you've got combat skills, go into battle. If you have no abilities, you won't survive here.

The dean of the Logistics Academy said, "The weather's getting cold. No one is left in botany, so we should shut the department down."

The department head said, "Wait! Baicao is still here, staying on after delaying graduation!"

And so, to save the botany department, Baicao entered the academy rankings competition.

Baicao said innocently, "I only meant to hold on to second place and fight for third, but somehow I really did hold on to second place and fight for third."

*

At first, everyone thought the botany students were nice, but had something seriously wrong with them.

Yes, they meant Baicao, who wouldn't let anyone sleep in the middle of the night and knocked on doors to peddle her wares!

"Hey, want to buy a pitcher plant? No bugs will bother you in your sleep."

"Hey, want a four-leaf clover? It'll bring you good luck."

"Hey, got a bad temper? Feeling overheated? Have some herbal tea!"

Baicao: "...Actually, my plants leave their pots every night and go looking for trouble. Would you believe me?"

*

Until one day, a swarm of bugs launched a surprise attack, and everyone fell into despair.

The students who had bought pitcher plants discovered that their plants were gobbling up the bugs.

The students who had bought four-leaf clovers survived deadly blows.

And the ones who had drunk the herbal tea... Well, they broke through to the next level of spiritual power?!

*

Everyone: Baicao! You're our treasure!

Baicao: Treasure, what treasure? I'm just a pitiful, delicate person who coughs up blood...

Everyone, in unison: A low-key powerhouse! We get it!

Baicao: ?

With so many people clinging to my legs, how am I supposed to coast? Come on, people need to learn to walk on their own!

[Reading Notes]

1. The author recommends plants, but does a sloppy job of growing them. Seeds are scattered at random and sprout as soon as the wind blows.

2. The plants and herbs are generally sourced from Baidu Encyclopedia. This novel isn't medical advice, so don't imitate the heroine and start messing around with plants or herbs yourself.

"The Cafeteria Lady Is from the Command Department"

Shocking news! The barbecue stall outside X University has been shut down by the school!

Word on the street is that the owner has been recruited to work at the military academy cafeteria across the road!

Students from X University and several nearby schools clutched their handkerchiefs: Damn it, those military students get to eat so well QAQ

*

The Tianxing Military Academy has always been swift and decisive. If nutrition packs can do the job, they absolutely refuse to eat real food.

(Mainly because the cafeteria food was just that bad. Smiling.jpg)

But lately, the students have noticed that whenever the bell rings, teachers end class right on time, instructors race at full speed, and even the surliest dean of discipline walks with an unusually springy step.

And they all have one destination: the cafeteria.

Following the crowd, students found the pretty young woman at the cafeteria counter serving up

boiled beef in chili sauce, sweet and sour pork, stuffed tofu, crab roe soup dumplings, duck blood vermicelli soup...

Slurp. So good!

From then on, the students of Tianxing Military Academy started gaining weight, and some were in danger of exceeding the limit.

So all the teachers at the school had no choice but to train alongside them.

Before they knew it, they'd left the other military academies in the dust =.=

*

Then one day, the much-anticipated military academy teachers' competition arrived.

The teachers usually ran around like crazy, but this time it was finally their turn to sit back and comment.

Wait, why are they taking our cafeteria lady away, too?

What can she do besides cook...?

Before they could finish speaking, they watched Dan Tian, looking completely harmless, order their instructor to take down the opposing blue team so she could deliver lunch more easily.

"?"

The instructors: Dan Tian used to be an outstanding combatant in the command department (through gritted teeth). She just decided she wanted to be a chef (deeply regretful)!
