My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

Xiao Kui pointed the camera at Liu Xudong and asked the question that all the viewers wanted to ask: "Brother Xudong, how are you feeling right now?"

He thought for a moment, then answered with his eyes closed, "I feel... very calm right now."

"So, do you think you've changed?"

"Things have changed, but I'm not sure if they've changed for the better or for the worse, because judging good or bad requires a standard, and that standard was set by my past self."

But I now realize that I used to be very anxious, and anxious people don't necessarily set the right standards.

Xiao Kui was stunned.

Bullet comments:

"Liu Cixin has started talking about philosophy."

"Did the insect repellent chrysanthemum turn him into a philosopher?"

"What he said makes so much sense, I can't even argue with it."

Lin Muyang walked by and said expressionlessly, "His heart rate is just slow, not that his IQ is high."

Liu Xudong: "When your heart rate slows down, you think slower. When you think slower, you're less likely to make mistakes."

He concluded with the statement: "Therefore, going slow is the right thing to do."

The test is over. Lin Muyang moved the pyrethrum out of the greenhouse and placed it in the yard for ventilation.

Liu Xudong was still sitting on the ground, and the orange cat was still squatting on his lap. Neither of them showed any intention of moving.

Wu Tao walked over: "Get up, it's time to get to work."

Liu Xudong slowly raised his head: "Okay."

But the body didn't move.

Wu Tao waited ten seconds: "Didn't you say we'd agree?"

Liu Xudong: "I said I would go right away, but I didn't say I would go right away."

Wu Tao took a deep breath, squatted down, and pulled Liu Xudong up from the ground.

After Liu Xudong stood up, he slowly squatted down again.

"What's wrong now?" Wu Tao stared at him.

Liu Xudong: "I want to sit for a while; standing is tiring."

Wu Tao didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Liu Xudong nodded, then sat back down on the ground. Daju jumped off his lap, squatted down beside him, and lay down as well.

The comments section was filled with laughter:

"Liu and Ju are now in sync."

"Both of them have adopted a Zen-like attitude."

"The research institute needs a new person to do the work."

Although he didn't want to leave, Da Zhuang, Xiao Zhao, and the others carried him into the car and took him to the nearest hospital.

He wanted Liu Xudong to undergo a full-body examination to confirm that there was no poisoning or injury.

Blood tests and brain scans showed everything was normal, except that a special compound in his blood caused him to become lethargic.

However, according to data, he will metabolize and return to normal within two hours.

Seeing the result, Lin Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning home, he carefully analyzed Liu Xudong's medical report and concluded that he had simply inhaled too much pollen.

If the amount of pollen can be controlled, the properties of pyrethrum 2.0 will be weakened, which may help with sleep.

Without hesitation, he immediately approached Liu Xudong: "I have an idea that I need you to verify."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xudong immediately sat up straight, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Lin Muyang explained the results of his physical examination to him, as well as his own guesses: "So now I'm going to conduct a second test on you."

Based on my estimation, reducing the dosage this time will only induce deep sleep and will not have any side effects.

Liu Xudong muttered to himself: No side effects? Do you think I believe that?

Although he thought this way, he still agreed. He knew that since Lin Muyang dared to try it, there was definitely no danger to his life.

At worst, the company will fail; he's already used to it.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Kui rushed over excitedly with her phone in hand, while Wu Tao and Deng Ran, who had finished their work, also watched from the sidelines.

Lying on his cot, Liu Xudong looked at the people around him, with one or two purple pyrethrum flowers next to him.

What's going on? Why does this scene look so familiar?

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was already in stitches:

"Hahaha, is this a serious scene?"

"Playing 'The Grand Funeral' would really capture the feeling."

"Are you going to add the character '奠' (diàn, meaning 'to pay respects') as well?"

Xiao Kui almost burst out laughing when she saw these ridiculous comments.

She quickly covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling.

Lin Muyang glanced at her, wondering what she was laughing at, and placed the insect repellent chrysanthemum about 2 meters away from him.

Then he took out a monitoring bracelet and put it on his wrist: "This bracelet will record various data while you are asleep."

"How long will the test take?"

"About half an hour."

Liu Xudong glanced at the onlookers around him, then resignedly closed his eyes.

Five minutes passed, and he still couldn't fall asleep. Ten minutes passed, and he still couldn't fall asleep. He started counting sheep, and when he reached one hundred and twenty-eight, he remembered the recruit stepping on his foot while turning the soil during the day. The more he thought about it, the more awake he became.

He opened his eyes: "Teacher Lin, with so many people watching me, I can't sleep."

Lin Muyang walked over and expressionlessly moved the insect-repellent chrysanthemum a little closer to his bedside: "Wait a little longer."

Two minutes later, Liu Xudong yawned. Three minutes later, his eyes closed.

My breathing became calmer, my heart rate dropped from 78 to 68, and the waveform on the bracelet became a smooth arc.

The live stream chat was filled with amazement:

"So fast?"

"Even better than sleeping pills?"

"Look at that waveform; it indicates that you've entered deep sleep."

"A blessing for insomnia sufferers!"

Lin Muyang wrote in his notebook: Falling asleep in about ten minutes.

Half an hour later, Liu Xudong, who was still fast asleep, was woken up by Lin Muyang.

Liu Xudong groggily opened his eyes: "Huh? What's going on? Is it dawn yet?"

He rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the circle of people surrounding him, he was startled:

"What...what are you doing here?"

Seeing that he looked sleepy, Xiao Kui reminded him:

"We were testing pyrethrum, don't you remember?"

A few seconds later, Liu Xudong realized, "Oh, I was half asleep. But I slept really well, and I feel incredibly refreshed now."

Lin Muyang nodded, glanced at the data on the bracelet, and found that apart from the first few minutes, he was in deep sleep for the rest of the time.

Seeing everyone in the live stream wanting to buy, Xiao Kui asked Lin Muyang for his opinion:

"Brother, many of my fans are asking when it will be available for sale?"

Lin Muyang thought for a moment and said, "It's not possible yet. Go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences tomorrow and get a detailed test. You can only sell it after you get the test report."

Xiao Kui nodded and wrote it down.

That evening, Lin Muyang had Wu Tao, Xiao Zhao, Da Zhuang, and two other people participate in the test.

Each person wore a bracelet on their wrist, and two insect chrysanthemums were placed by each bed.

To test whether it would harm small animals, Lin Muyang also had Daju participate in the test.

Lin Muyang hung a sensor around its neck. The orange cat tried to peel it off with its paws, but after trying for a long time without success, it got tired and fell asleep.

Even in his sleep, his claws continued to wave, trying to pluck it off.
