My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

The mushrooms in the corner are still growing quietly, but the dragon fruit in the greenhouse has begun to ripen.

In the past few days, Lin Muyang has visited the greenhouse almost every day to record the condition of the dragon fruit and to replenish trace elements and nutrient solution as needed to ensure that it does not suffer from malnutrition.

After several days of careful observation, it was confirmed that one dragon fruit was ripe, and the others would all ripen within a week.

Each plant has three to four fist-sized fruits hanging on it, with pink skin and emerald green scales, a color that is darker than usual.

After the last soybean test, Xiao Kui told him to make sure to notify her before the next test.

So Lin Muyang picked up his phone and messaged Xiao Kui: The dragon fruit is ripe.

Xiao Kui was livestreaming in the yard when she saw the message. She got up and rushed towards the greenhouse, explaining to the livestream viewers as she ran:

"Family, the dragon fruit we've been waiting for is finally ripe. Let's go see what the results are."

The comments section instantly flooded in:

"It's finally ripe!"

"I've been waiting for so long, I was so anxious!"

"Where's Da Liu? Let him try it!"

"Liu, the top tester at Mukui Research Institute, requests to participate in the battle."

Liu Xudong had just returned from the fields and was resting on his cot when he heard the commotion outside. He immediately got up and headed towards the greenhouse.

As soon as I entered, I saw dragon fruit hanging on the branches. Curious, I poked it with my finger and asked, "Is this the dragon fruit that can dye hair?"

Lin Muyang stood to the side, expressionless: "Hmm, the dyeing effect hasn't been tested yet."

He picked up a dragon fruit, cut it in half, and the flesh was a deep purplish-red color, with thick juice and a rich dragon fruit aroma.

Lin Muyang looked at Liu Xudong: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Liu Xudong immediately took a step back: "Why me again?"

Lin Muyang: "Because you have a lot of hair, and I trust you."

Liu Xudong touched his faded hair and shook his head resolutely: "I don't believe you. I'm absolutely not going to try this time. Every time I try, I'll be doomed. This time, we have to find someone else."

The live stream was still very fun:

"Haha, he chickened out."

"You'll fail every time you try; you'd be a coward if you went."

"No! I want to see Liu Cixin die!"

Lin Muyang turned to look at the newcomers.

Although they hadn't witnessed it in person, the video of Liu Xudong's death was all over the internet, so when they heard that there was going to be another test, everyone was shocked and stepped back in unison.

We can die in battle, but we cannot die in society.

Just then, Dazhuang volunteered, "Teacher Lin, let me give it a try."

Lin Muyang glanced at him. He had the same buzz cut as everyone else. He nodded and pointed to the stool next to him: "Sit."

Dazhuang plopped down on the stool and closed his eyes: "Come on."

Lin Muyang filtered the dragon fruit juice through a pair of stockings, then poured it into a bowl and slowly applied it to Dazhuang's hair. His dyed hair gradually changed from black to purplish-red.

Liu Xudong looked at the focused crowd, then at the remaining half of the dragon fruit.

The dragon fruit still emitted a strong aroma, making him itch with desire.

He turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly picked up a small piece of dragon fruit and put it in his mouth.

His eyes lit up instantly: "Delicious!"

He had eaten many dragon fruits before, whether expensive or cheap, white or red, none of them tasted this good.

He ate while reassuring himself, "As long as I don't dye my hair, it should be fine to eat."

It took about ten minutes to dye Dazhuang's buzz cut completely red.

Unlike regular dragon fruit dyeing, this heart-shaped dragon fruit has a very distinct color after dyeing, a bright purplish-red, with no trace of black.

Xiao Kui leaned closer to examine it carefully: "This hair dye is no different from the chemical cream used in hair dye shops, it even looks better."

The live stream chat comments were also unbelievable:

"You can actually dye your hair?"

"Did the guy with the facial paralysis succeed this time?"

"Finally, I didn't crash once. That's not easy."

"But I want to see Liu Cixin, the red-haired big brother."

"I also want to see red-haired Liu Cixin."

Seeing the comments, Xiao Kui turned to Liu Xudong next to her and said, "Are you really not going to give it a try? My fans all want to see what you look like with your hair dyed red."

Liu Xudong had already finished eating the dragon fruit and wiped his mouth clean, so Xiao Kui didn't notice.

Hearing Xiao Kui's words, Liu Xudong looked resistant: "They just want to see me fail, I won't fall for it."

Seeing that he wasn't fooled, Xiao Kui didn't press the issue and turned to livestream Da Zhuang.

About ten minutes after the dyeing was finished, everyone came out of the greenhouse and rinsed off the remaining dragon fruit juice from Da Zhuang's head in the yard, then washed it again with a small amount of shampoo.

After washing and drying, the color becomes more noticeable.

Xiao Kui exclaimed in surprise, "This color is so vibrant!"

"Yeah, even the one I got professionally dyed last time didn't look this good."

"This color would look better on girls."

"I think so."

"It's rare that the guy with the facial paralysis didn't mess up."

Xiao Kui looked at the comments with a smug expression: "Of course, my brother is really awesome."

After saying that, she remembered something: "Is the Talkative King here? Are you satisfied with the effect?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several gift effects flashed on the screen.

The talkative king: "I'm here. I'm very satisfied with this color. Thank you, Xiao Kui. Please thank your brother for me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kui beamed with joy: "I'm glad you're satisfied."

Just then, the talkative king sent another message: "How long will this effect last?"

Xiao Kui, not knowing, turned to Lin Muyang and asked, "Brother, how long will this hair dye effect last?"

Lin Muyang thought for a moment: "It is expected to take about three days, but starting from the second day, the color will gradually oxidize and fade, and this process will last for about three days."

Until it finally disappears completely.

Xiao Kui nodded: "So, this vibrant color only lasts for about 24 hours? And then it slowly fades?"

Lin Muyang nodded: "What, you want to try it too?"

"No, no, no," Xiao Kui hurriedly waved her hands, "It was my fans who asked."

She has never dyed her hair since she was a child, and always felt that it was strange to dye her hair.

Dazhuang, sporting a purplish-red buzz cut, walked around the yard.

When Wu Tao passed by, he glanced at him but didn't say anything. The others all gave him a thumbs up, and Da Zhuang grinned happily.

The comments section was full of praise:

"Dazhuang was the first person in the research institute to volunteer to be a guinea pig."

"Xiao Kui and Da Liu were both inexplicably made into test subjects."

"Haha, those two are so pitiful."

"Liu's position has been replaced."

Once the staining effect is confirmed to be satisfactory, the remaining task is to record the fading time.

The crowd began to disperse, preparing to go about their own business.

They had only taken a few steps when Xiao Kui screamed, "Brother Xu Dong! Your hair!"
