Over four hundred acres of land lay before everyone, revealing itself in all its vastness. Standing on this expanse, the crowd was filled with astonishment. Such a massive piece of land must have cost quite a fortune, right?
Chen Xuan was truly impressive. Professor Yang's gaze towards his proud disciple grew increasingly satisfied. Liu Yueming frequently glanced at Chen Xuan, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
Among the crowd, only Professor Park and Sun Hao remained silent. Suddenly, Sun Hao exclaimed, "Hey, why is this land grayish-white? There are no plants at all!"
The others instinctively looked down and indeed noticed the unusual condition of the soil. They searched around with their eyes but found not a hint of green. What was going on?
Professor Yang chuckled and asked, "Xiao Chen, did you just finish plowing this land? What cover crops are you planning to plant?"
Chen Xuan forced a bitter smile, unsure of how to respond. Just then, Sun Hao squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and casually brushed it off, revealing black grass seeds underneath.
"There are seeds! Brother, when did you plant these? They must be about to sprout!" Sun Hao said with a grin as he looked at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and gave Sun Hao a meaningful glance. Sun Hao held up the soil triumphantly and stood up, his gaze teasing as he looked at Chen Xuan.
He was the young master of Northern Thousands of Acres Large Farm, having grown up in the farm environment where he had become well-acquainted with various situations that arose in farming.
Clearing land? He had been through countless experiences. As he lifted his head just now, he realized that this piece of land had just been cleared.
The grayish-white land reminded Sun Hao of a barren patch back at his family's farm, a place where nothing could grow. He casually found an excuse to take a look, and sure enough, it was just as he thought. The ground beneath his feet was indeed a dead zone where no plants could thrive!
Sun Hao smiled as he looked at Chen Xuan, eagerly anticipating the embarrassment that would follow.
At that moment, Professor Yang examined the black seeds and then glanced at the color of the soil, his expression suddenly darkening.
"It's ryegrass seeds!" Liu Yueming recognized them and frowned slightly, speaking softly. "But it's strange; given the color of the soil, ryegrass should have sprouted by now."
"It won't sprout!" A voice interrupted, and everyone turned to see Professor Park, who had been silent until now.
Professor Park's face was stern. "This land has issues; it's a dead zone where no plants can grow. The ryegrass seeds will definitely not germinate!"
"What? A dead zone?" Liu Yueming exclaimed in disbelief, instinctively looking at Professor Yang for confirmation.
Professor Yang hesitated for a moment before nodding gravely.
Wang Xiong stood there dumbfounded. A dead zone? Chen Xuan had taken on a piece of dead land? This was a huge loss!
Wang Xiong glanced at Professor Yang, then at Chen Xuan, and finally turned his gaze toward Professor Park, wondering if this proud expert who had remained silent for so long was just spouting nonsense.
Professor Park felt uncomfortable under Wang Xiong's scrutiny. He shot an annoyed glare at him, then crouched down to grab a handful of soil, rubbing it between his fingers as he coldly remarked, "This is indeed a dead zone. Based on my decades of experience, there must be some unknown radioactive substance in this land affecting its fertility."
