My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Kui turned to look at Lin Muyang, her eyes reddening.

"Bro, how exactly does this smooth, big tomato make people feel better? Can you explain it to everyone from a scientific perspective?"

Lin Muyang remained expressionless: "Smooth, large tomatoes contain a special type of flavonoid compound."

This compound can stimulate the brain to release dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that make people feel happy and relaxed.

It can boost mood in a short time, with the effect lasting about one to two hours. It has no side effects and is not addictive.

Bullet comments:

"I don't understand it, but it sounds amazing."

"Anyway, eating it will make me happy."

"I suggest calling it Happy Tomato."

Lin Muyang emphasized again: "Big tomatoes are not medicine and cannot replace professional treatment."

It can only serve as an aid, allowing people suffering from depression to temporarily escape from that despairing negative emotion, see the sunshine, and catch their breath.

Xiao Kui asked curiously, "Didn't anyone notice before?"

Not only was she curious, but everyone else in the live stream was too.

Lin Muyang shook his head: "This is a new compound produced by induced mutation in tomatoes, which has never appeared before."

"Will there be large tomatoes available for sale in the future?"

"Yes, the next batch of tomatoes will not be induced mutations, but direct breeding, which can preserve the gene fragments we want."

He thought for a moment and then added, "After the new equipment from the research institute arrives in a few days, I will conduct genetic analysis on it and try more stable genetic methods."

Big Orange jumped down from the wall at some point, slowly walked to Little Sunflower's feet, and nimbly climbed onto her lap.

Then he sniffed the phone in her hand and stared blankly at the words on the screen.

Although it couldn't read, it saw that Xiao Kui's eyes were red and knew that this human seemed unhappy, so it rubbed its head against her.

The guy with the middle finger was standing on the windowsill, giving the middle finger to everyone. A night breeze blew by, and the girl who was screaming immediately screamed. The guy with the middle finger then turned to the girl who was screaming and gave her the middle finger again.

The orange cat ignored it and continued to rub against the sunflower.

Lin Muyang lifted it off the windowsill, and the middle finger guy started giving Lin Muyang the middle finger again.

Lin Muyang looked at the middle finger guy and sighed, "Luckily, the middle finger guy doesn't need breeding; he can be propagated by cuttings, which is why this research institute exists."

Xiao Kui nodded in deep agreement: "That's right, so it's like a king in the research institute, lawless and able to give the middle finger to anyone."

The middle finger guy seemed to understand what she said, and immediately turned to her, then gradually bent the upright cactus spines to form a crooked heart shape.

Lin Muyang: ...

Oh well, as long as it's happy, that's fine. After all, Brother Middle Finger is a major shareholder of the research institute.

Xiao Kui seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask, "Brother, can tomatoes be propagated directly through cuttings without needing to breed or cultivate seedlings?"

"Regular tomatoes are fine, but it's uncertain whether the mutated large tomatoes will work. We didn't try it before because we were worried about the impact on the original plant."

I plan to test it in the next batch, and if it works, we'll increase production thereafter.

"rigorous!"

"Let's start mass production as soon as possible, we can't wait."

"Will it be possible to buy seeds and grow our own in the future?"

Xiao Kui turned around and threw the question at Lin Muyang.

Lin Muyang shook his head: "You can grow regular tomatoes yourself, but not large tomatoes. The nutrients and trace elements they need during their growth process need to be precisely controlled, which is something ordinary people can't do."

Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to abandon their plan to grow it themselves.

That evening, the screen recording of the live stream was uploaded online and became a trending topic.

The hashtag #HappyTomatoesCanTemporarilyRelieveDepression#

The number of views exceeded 100 million.

Someone in the comments section said, "My mom also has depression, and I want to buy her one too."

Some say, "This isn't medicine, but it's warmer than medicine."

Some people said, "I cried as soon as I heard that mother's voice."

Professor He Songnian also saw it and made a phone call to Lin Muyang.

"Xiaolin, is the case of that girl with depression real?"

Although he saw the live stream, he still wanted to confirm it.

"It's true."

"Okay." Professor He sighed upon hearing this, "Currently, there are tens of millions of people with depression in our country. Some of them relapse repeatedly and need to take medication for a long time."

As a professor at a medical school, this is also one of his research areas.

"The large tomato you studied, combined with current drug treatments, may have the potential to completely cure depression."

If you need my help with further research, please don't hesitate to ask.

"it is good."

Xiao Kui's live stream room has recently seen an increase in viewers who are suffering from depression and their families.

They didn't post comments or say anything; they just stayed online quietly.

Xiao Kui didn't notice at first, until someone sent her a private message:

"Xiao Kui, I didn't get any tomatoes, but I'll stay in your live stream every day."

Seeing you all laugh makes me smile too.

When Xiao Kui read this private message aloud, her eyes welled up with tears.

More people instantly appeared in the live chat:

"Me too. Even though I didn't manage to get one, I come every day."

"My mother also suffers from depression, and she asked me to hang this up for her."

"The atmosphere here is great; there's no arguing, and everyone is laughing."

Another comment appeared:

"My daughter spoke to me today and said, 'Dad, your hair has turned white.'"

I'm so happy today.

She hasn't initiated any conversation or communication with anyone for over a year.

After reading this, Xiao Kui felt happy for him. She wiped her eyes and said to the camera:

"The second batch will be planted soon, and it will be available on the market in a month."

Please wait a little longer. Even though the tomato isn't working overtime, it's working hard to grow.

Bullet comments:

"Go Tomato!"

"I'll wait for you as you grow up."

"No rush, being happy is the most important thing."

Meanwhile, on secondhand trading platforms, the price of a smooth tomato has been driven to an outrageous level.

Someone listed one for 1,000, and it was snapped up instantly.

The seller listed another one, priced at 1,500, and it was snapped up in seconds.

The comment section was filled with insults:

"Can't scalpers just die already?!"

"My girlfriend has depression, I just wanted to cheer her up, and you guys are making such a big deal out of it!"

"Real-name registration is recommended for purchases!"

"After being arrested, the scalper cried and said: 'I also wanted to have some fun, but since I couldn't buy anything, I had to sell it.'"

Xiao Kui saw the screenshot and then handed it to Lin Muyang, who was standing next to her.

Lin Muyang turned his head and glanced at it: "The second batch is already being cultivated."

Okay, in addition to the previously ordered orders, let's add another two thousand orders.

However, these two thousand orders must be submitted under real names and include a confirmed diagnosis of depression.

Upon hearing this, patients and their families in the live stream immediately sent messages of thanks in the chat.

"Thank you, Xiaokui. Thank you, Teacher Lin."

"As expected of you, Pokerface Bro."

"Lin Muyang's facial paralysis got worse from working overtime."

"I feel sorry for the guy with the facial paralysis."

Unlike the warm and gentle style of the civilian version of the smooth tomato, the military version of the netted tomato has a wild style.
