Xiao Chang’s classmate glanced at Anning through the rearview mirror.

He thought this girl was quite odd.

Everyone else advised Xiao Chang to stay in the city or move to a big city to develop.

After all, Xiao Chang performed very well academically, always winning first prize scholarships at school and participating in many activities, making him a prominent figure at school. Returning to a small county to develop would truly waste his talent.

But Anning didn’t persuade him at all; on the contrary, she encouraged Xiao Chang to go back to his hometown for development.

The classmate thought about it and guessed that maybe Anning was thinking Xiao Chang’s return could lighten Xiao Yuan’s burden.

He chuckled, "Miss Yan, where do you plan to develop in the future?"

Anning smiled and said, "I’m also returning to County Y to help my sister develop rural tourism."

The classmate paused for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up: "You have a high level of awareness."

Xiao Chang asked his classmate to help send Anning back to Fengtai Village, then exchanged a few words with Si Linna before leaving.

Si Linna has also been quite busy lately. As soon as Anning arrived, she didn’t have time to ask if Anning was tired and immediately dragged her to the fields.

"Quick, help me take a look at why our cucumbers are growing so fast."

Anning followed Si Linna to the field and saw a large patch of land planted with cucumbers. She remembered talking to Si Linna a few days ago, when Si Linna said the cucumbers in the field were flowering and some were growing small cucumbers. But in just a few days, the cucumbers were ready to be picked.

"When did they start growing wildly?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Anning asked.

Si Linna thought for a moment, "Just these past few days, not sure what’s going on, the cucumbers in this patch are growing incredibly fast."

Anning picked a cucumber and tasted it, "There’s no issue with the taste; it’s very good and nutritious."

Si Linna glared at her, "Do you even need to say that? We’ve all tasted them, and indeed the flavor is exceptional. The dishes made with them are especially fragrant."

Anning took a walk around the field, and with each round, her expression became more serious.

"What’s going on?"

Si Linna asked.

Anning pointed to the field, "It’s because of this land. How should I say, using standard novel terminology, there’s a sign of Spiritual Energy revival. This field has more Spiritual Energy than elsewhere, plus the Growth Fluid No.2 I used, causing the cucumbers to grow wildly. But don’t worry, it’s not a big problem; rather, it’s a good thing. In the future, any vegetables needing short-term harvest should be planted here; they will grow quickly."

"Really no problem?"

Si Linna was still a bit skeptical.

Anning waved her hand, "No problem."

"Then why did you..."

Si Linna wanted to ask why Anning had such a frightening expression earlier.

Anning just smiled, "I just felt like I’ve found a Feng Shui treasure land."

That’s what she said, but her heart was still heavy.

Historically, Spiritual Energy revival never brings benefits initially. Although it may bring advantages after many years, at the beginning, it’s definitely a disaster for humanity.

Anning stopped at a location and drew a circle on the ground, "Sis, after picking the cucumbers here, clear it into an empty space. Put up a shed or something; I have use for it."

"Okay."

Si Linna didn’t ask why and readily agreed with a smile.

Anning pointed to another location, "If you’re free, spend more time there; it’s beneficial for you."

After returning home from the field, Anning packed her luggage and then sat on her bed video chatting with Xiao Yuan.

"What are you doing?"

Anning asked with a smile.

Xiao Yuan was likely at the construction site; he sat in a traditional-style pavilion, smiling, "I’m working on construction, building an artificial lake and creating a rockery. Once completed, we can plant trees and flowers inside."

While talking, he showed Anning how far the project had progressed.

Anning glanced over, "Spiritual Energy is about to revive."

Xiao Yuan didn’t find it strange, as both he and Anning could sense the unusual nature of this world.

"After I finish this project, I’ll graduate early and come back."

"No need to rush, Spiritual Energy revival isn’t a one- or two-day thing; sometimes it takes several years."

As Anning chatted with Xiao Yuan, she kept calculating with her fingers. Having been in so many worlds, she had long understood many world rules. Calculating this wasn’t too difficult.

"I estimate it will take three to five years. After three years, Spiritual Energy will begin to revive across various regions. Within five years, this world will undergo tremendous changes."

Anning shared her predictions with Xiao Yuan, "We need to work harder to make the environment better before the major Spiritual Energy revival."

Xiao Yuan understood Anning’s intention, "We’ll do our best."

Next, Anning mentioned Mrs. Yan contacting her to Xiao Yuan, "An Xin checked; she intends to marry into the Yang Family..."

Xiao Yuan chuckled, "How about we get married first?"

Anning looked at Xiao Yuan with an ambiguous smile, "Are you planning to cohabit illegally?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "There are many couples in the village who marry before the legal age, holding wedding ceremonies at home and then obtaining marriage certificates when they reach the age. We can do the same. After the wedding, what can the Yan Family do to you?"

"I’ll discuss it with my sister later."

Anning neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Okay."

Xiao Yuan smiled, "Don’t worry too much about it. The Yan Family can’t stir up much trouble, and also..."

Xiao Yuan lowered his voice, "Li Hai reported the Growth Liquid No.1, I’m sure someone from above will soon find you. Then you can request special arrangements and get us a marriage certificate."

Anning was amused, "Should I not feel ashamed for exchanging such a great achievement for a marriage certificate? What would they think? Publicly, they won’t say, but privately they’d think I’m desperate to get married."

This remark made both of them laugh.

Xiao Yuan laughed, filled with affection, "It’s not about wanting to get married; it’s about me being eager to get a wife."

"Alright, alright, I’ll see what happens then."

Anning’s face felt a bit warm, and she quickly hung up the phone.

As it turned out, Xiao Yuan was right; a few days later, Li Hai hurriedly arrived.

He came straight to Anning, "Sister, quickly bring the Growth Liquid No.1 and come with me to the Capital."

Anning guessed what it was about, so she took a bottle of Growth Liquid No.1 and got into Li Hai’s car.

The two of them went to the city and caught a flight to the Capital, which didn’t take long.

Upon arriving at the Capital, there were dedicated personnel assigned to pick up Anning.

Anning didn’t rest and was escorted straight to the Science Academy.

Many people were already waiting inside, and as soon as Anning arrived, they hurried forward, "Did you bring the Growth Liquid?"

Anning nodded.

An old man with graying hair took the Growth Liquid for testing, while others surrounded Anning, "Young lady, what inspired you to create this? What’s your theory?"

"Previously, Li Hai also sent some Growth Liquid over, and we studied its components but couldn’t recreate it."

"Yes, what’s the principle behind your Growth Liquid?"

Anning found a chair to sit on, cheerfully explaining the principle of the Growth Liquid. However, her words sounded like heaven’s scriptures to many, who couldn’t quite understand.

Soon, the old man returned with the test results and looked at Anning, "Young lady, can you explain why the test results differ before and after?"

Anning smiled, "Well, how should I put it? It’s related to my technique in preparing the Growth Liquid. I’ve added some formula protection procedures, so no matter where it’s tested, the true ingredients of the Growth Liquid can’t be detected."

The old man nodded, "Oh, that’s how it is."

He wanted to ask about Anning’s formula but knew it was unethical, so he kept the curiosity to himself.

In the following days, Anning used the Growth Liquid at the Science Academy to improve some grasses suitable for planting on prairies. They grow quickly without damaging soil components, and cattle and sheep raised on them have more delicious meat.
