Chapter 19: Disdain?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Just as they were about to enter the research laboratory, to their surprise, they found dozens of students standing in front of the laboratory and discussing some issues with ugly expressions.

“Wait, what’s going on? Where are the students from Japan?” Kong Wei came up to them and asked the students around him.

“These guys from Japan are all staying in the laboratory.”

A chubby boy said.

“What are they doing in there?” Professor Li Jing asked very steadily.

“They want our school to give them gifts in return.”

“Therefore, the teacher can only give them the corn that we are currently working on,” The chubby boy said with a helpless look.

“This is simply nonsense,” Kong Wei was also helpless.

After all, the corn in this laboratory was not a product that they developed on their own.

They had to use references from the technology of other countries. Even if they managed to come up with the anti-pest component, however, it could not be compared with the products brought by Japan.

Perhaps this corn could be used as feed for some chickens and ducks.

However, the watermelon brought by Japan was something that people could eat. In this way, there was no way to compare the two.

Li Jing comforted Kong Wei and immediately opened the door to the research laboratory.

The research laboratory occupied a large area and was equipped with powerful equipment.

After all, in the whole of China, this Agricultural University in the capital could be considered one of the top universities.

As soon as they walked in, they saw two groups of people standing opposite each other in the laboratory. The teachers and students from Japan all looked disdainful.

On the other hand, the Chinese students and teachers who stayed in the laboratory looked angry but didn’t dare to say anything.

There was nothing they could do.

After all, Japan was at the top of the world in terms of the industrial level.

From the looks of it, even in terms of agricultural technology, they were much better than China.

Although their country was very small, they had supported more than 100 million people.

“Teacher Wang, what’s the situation?” Professor Li Jing asked.

“Professor Li, they said that we have let the school and China down, and we should be ashamed of ourselves,” Teacher Wang hung his head in shame.

Li Jing looked at this group of people from Japan. He said with a cold expression, “Aren’t you guys a little too much?”

“Hehe, it’s clear that the Agricultural University in the capital of China has no sincerity at all. They only know how to accept gifts, but they aren’t even willing to return us gifts of equal value.”

“Do you think that you can humiliate us like this?” Professor Yamamoto, a teacher from Japan, looked at the corn in front of him with a very aloof expression.

After all, this type of genetically modified corn was indeed not as good as their genetically modified watermelon.

“I’m sorry that we did not reciprocate your good intentions well enough,” Teacher Wang said with some guilt.

“Hehe. Professor Yamamoto, we’re here to have a friendly academic exchange. Even if you know very well that the Agricultural University in the capital of China is trash, you can’t just directly make them lose face, right?”

“Professor, I didn’t expect that China is also very ordinary. Before we came, you said that they were very good, but now it seems that they’re complete trash.”

“That’s right, I agree with that. Why don’t we hurry back? After all, even if we stay here, we won’t be able to learn real knowledge. Instead, we’ll waste our precious time here.”

The people from the Agricultural University of Japan, who were standing behind Professor Yamamoto, started to belittle China with unkind words and vulgarities.

Li Jing, who had some knowledge of the Japanese language, looked cold and indifferent when he heard these words.

Even though he was very angry, he had to admit that he couldn’t hold his ground on this matter.

It was their fault for not being as skilled as these people.

“I’m sorry, please wait for a while. We’ve given you the wrong gift. I’ve prepared one this time. I’ll bring it to you later.”

Li Jing spoke in the standard Japanese accent. His words were calm and collected.

“Oh, if that’s the case, why don’t you show it to us?” Professor Yamamoto smiled happily, but his eyes were distant and cold.

“Sure. Kong Wei, open the package that I brought over and show it to them now,” Li Jing said calmly.

“Okay, teacher.” Kong Wei, who was originally a little nervous, calmed down when he saw his teacher’s calm expression.

He opened the package and found that there was a potted plant inside.

“Oh, is this the gift that you guys are going to give us in return? There’s nothing special about it. Are you guys going to say that this is a genetically modified plant? Or is this just an ordinary potted plant that will make us laugh?”

Professor Yamamoto immediately laughed out loud when he saw the plant that was not even as tall as a person’s calf.

As people who were into academic research, they were very clear that these genetically modified technologies were generally used in food.

However, this was the first time they had seen it used on ordinary plants.

Therefore, the people from Japan let out a wave of contemptuous laughter.

“You are truly ignorant to the extreme. If you are not clear about this, let me show you this miracle. Kong Wei, go to the laboratory now and bring over No. 6 research nutrient solution.”

Li Jing’s expression was cold as he turned around and instructed Kong Wei.

The No. 6 research nutrient solution was developed by the Capital Agricultural University. It could speed up the growth of plants.

Even if the price was high, it would take a long time.

However, compared to ordinary plant fertilizers, this solution was more beneficial to the absorption of plants.

Although the previous five solutions all had related effects.

But the most successful one was still the No. 6 research nutrient solution.

The effect of the No. 6 was ten times more effective than ordinary fertilizers.

However, this was not omnipotent.

Although the plants could grow quickly after using this solution, these plants could not live for long.

Not long after, Kong Wei took out a solution from the laboratory.

This was the No. 6 nutrient solution that Professor Li Jing was talking about.

Professor Li Jing’s objective was gradually revealed before this group of students from China’s Agricultural University.

He took the nutrient solution from Kong Wei’s hand. After a series of matching and proportioning, he prepared a portion for the super lettuce.

Then, he directly sprinkled the prepared nutrient solution on this potted plant.

The group of teachers and students from Japan laughed out loud, their expressions were contemptuous.

At first, they looked attentively, thinking that this old man would display to them some real skills.

They didn’t expect it to be a trick..
