My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

Xiao Kui received many private messages from fans. She looked up at Lin Muyang and asked, "Brother, many of my fans want to buy the colorful dragon fruit. When can we start large-scale cultivation?"

Lin Muyang shook his head: "It's not possible right now. If we want to grow dragon fruit here, we need to build greenhouses, and the surrounding open space needs to be used to grow tomatoes. We can't rush the dragon fruit thing."

Xiao Kui remembered Shen Hao's words: "Brother, Shen Hao's family, who came today, specializes in growing dragon fruit. Could we cooperate with them?"

"Cooperation is also an option. You can negotiate it yourself. The research institute will provide the seeds, and they will be responsible for planting them."

"So, what form of cooperation will we use?"

"Just like when we authorized schools before, we authorized them for five years at a time, and then we take a cut of their sales."

Xiao Kui nodded: "Okay, I understand."

The next day, Shen Lele went to school as usual. As soon as she stepped out, her light blue hair immediately attracted the attention of other people in the community.

Someone joked, "What's wrong? Is Lele unhappy?"

Shen Lele didn't answer. Wasn't that obvious? Who would be in a good mood going to school first thing in the morning?

As soon as they arrived at the school gate, they attracted a crowd again; many people had seen the video from last night.

The children all surrounded her, chattering and asking her all sorts of questions.

Lin Muyang has already fused the genes of purple tomatoes and happy tomatoes, and is currently watering the newly cultivated purple tomatoes in the greenhouse.

Xiao Kui ran in breathlessly, holding her phone: "Brother, people from the Culture and Tourism Bureau are here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Muyang put down the watering can and went outside.

A black sedan was parked at the entrance of the courtyard, and a middle-aged man in his forties was standing next to the car door. He was Director Wang of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Upon seeing him emerge, Director Wang immediately extended his hand, beaming, "Teacher Lin, it's an honor to meet you. My surname is Wang, and I'm from the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Principal Chen should have already told you."

Lin Muyang squeezed his hand, expressionless: "Mm."

He led Director Wang into the reception room, where Wu Tao was already seated with several cups of tea in front of him.

The secretary took out her notebook, ready to take notes.

Director Wang got straight to the point: "Teacher Lin, our Culture and Tourism Bureau has thoroughly studied that giant mushroom."

The initial plan is to develop it into a tourist attraction, level the surrounding wasteland, build an asphalt road as quickly as possible, and construct parking lots, public toilets, and rest areas.

Visitors can tour for free; there's no entrance fee. However, surrounding businesses take a cut as a maintenance fee.

Lin Muyang nodded. Many of the businesses that used to operate here have already moved away. Xiao Kui had previously complained that some food delivery services were no longer available.

With a little development now, and the popularity growing, more shops will probably appear.

Lin Muyang picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Okay."

Director Wang was taken aback for a moment: "You...have no objections?"

Lin Muyang shook his head: "No."

Director Wang asked curiously, "So what are your requirements?"

Lin Muyang took out a floor plan and pointed to the warehouse: "The wall here needs to be rebuilt. It's very inconvenient to go through the back of the warehouse now, and it will affect the work of the research institute."

Wu Tao will develop the renovation plan; you will be responsible for the specific construction and the necessary funding.

Wu Tao nodded in agreement.

Director Wang paused for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll go back and submit a report to my superiors to try and get the project started as soon as possible."

The group discussed the details again, and Director Wang stood up, wanting to go and see the giant mushroom for himself.

Lin Muyang led them through the path behind the warehouse. The giant fluorescent mushroom looked imposing in the sunlight; it was over six meters tall.

Director Wang looked up at the mushroom cap, his mouth agape in an "O" shape.

"This...this is too big."

Lin Muyang: "Yeah, it'll get even bigger in a few days."

"Is there any danger?"

"There is no danger. They appeared on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, and their bodies are much tougher than ours."

Director Wang turned to his secretary: "Take a picture and show it to the leaders when we get back."

After seeing Director Wang off, Wu Tao began planning the renovation of the perimeter wall.

He drew a sketch in the yard and marked the location of the new gate, the visitor passage, and the safety barrier on the ground with chalk.

Liu Xudong squatted down beside him to assist: "Captain, your drawing is much better than mine."

Wu Tao: "Did you draw that with your feet?"

Liu Xudong paused for a moment: "I drew it with a pen, but it's not as straight as yours."

Wu Tao ignored him. Da Zhuang walked over with the plank in his hand and sawed the wood according to the dimensions Wu Tao had given him. He sawed three pieces, but two of them were crooked.

This is the only one that's passable.

Wu Tao took the wooden board, trimmed the edges and corners, and handed it back to Da Zhuang: "Take this to Xiao Kui so she can write on it."

At this moment, Xiao Kui was diligently practicing her calligraphy. She still remembered how Lin Muyang had mocked her for her ugly handwriting last time, and she was determined to avenge herself this time.

In the evening, the Children's Day performance at Shudu Primary School was underway.

The stage was set up on the playground, the lights were dim, and the ambient lighting made the whole stage look like a fairy tale world.

Shen Lele wore a light blue princess dress with sequins on the hem, and her hair was still purple, emitting a bright glow in the darkness.

As the music began, she danced gracefully. Although it was just a few simple movements, combined with her glowing purple hair and the sequins on her skirt, she looked like she had stepped out of a fairy tale.

The parents in the audience were stunned.

A mother whispered, "What's wrong with that little girl's hair?"

The father next to him was also stunned: "It looks like the kind that glows?"

Many more children persisted, dragging their parents along so they could also dye their hair that shiny like that.

The parents, annoyed by the noise, slapped him twice before he finally quieted down.

After the dance ended, Shen Lele bowed, and the audience erupted in applause.

She ran off the stage as fast as she could and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Her mother held her, looking at her still-shining hair, her eyes a little red: "Beautiful, so beautiful, our Lele is so amazing."

Shen Lele was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and the bright purple in her hair seemed to shine even brighter.

Xiao Kui also came across the video that someone else had shared and started watching it in the live stream.

Bullet comments:

"The fairy princess is dancing!"

"Indeed, vibrant hair is a better match for the stage."

The video went viral online, and people everywhere were looking to buy dragon fruit for hair dye. Shen Hao would come to the research institute to discuss cooperation after spending the holiday with Shen Lele.

Amidst a flurry of online requests to buy, a certain Sherlock Holmes discovered the key point:

Lin Muyang started researching dragon fruit because a fan sent him many high-quality dragon fruit seeds.

If I send him seeds too, will there be even more amazing plants?

As a result, more and more people began to collect all kinds of high-quality seeds from their surroundings, and then packaged them and sent them to the research institute.

At this moment, Lin Muyang, who was busy with his research, was unaware that his research institute was about to be overrun by a large wave of seeds.
