Wang Liang temporarily believed the old man's judgment, walked into the laboratory, and asked sideways: "Then what should we do now?"

The old man pointed to the bag in Wang Liang's hand and said: "We need more samples now for observation. You can make these plants grow quickly, so we don't need so much time."

"This is quite simple." Wang Liang looked at the bag in his hand and nodded.

Soon, the people in the experiment planted these seeds one by one on the ground. Wang Liang used his power to make these seeds grow quickly. In just a few minutes, some purple buds emerged from the soil.

Such a scene caused people around to talk a lot, but Wang Liang's face didn't look good. The seeds were growing faster, which was different from yesterday.

The old man stared at the leaves on the ground, touched his white beard with one hand and said: "This new type of potato should grow by absorbing some energy in the air, so it is difficult to judge what it will grow."

Wang Liang thought about it for a while, then turned to the old man and said: "These things are essentially potatoes. I just changed their growth method, from absorbing light to absorbing energy in the air."

The old man shook his head when he heard this and disagreed with Wang Liang's statement: "The growth method has changed. This is a new type of plant. It can only be said that it has the characteristics of potatoes."

In the past day, small trees have grown up one after another in the experimental shed, with some yellow fruits hanging on them.

Looking at this scene, the surrounding scientific researchers and technical experts were stunned, and some even looked like they had seen a ghost.

However, they have all experienced the apocalypse, and their endurance is relatively strong. Isn't it just the rapid growth of plants? It's not a big deal.

Wang Liang looked at these small trees in a daze: "Don't potatoes grow in the ground? Why are they hanging on the trees now?"

He didn't quite understand what was going on. It was obviously a plant he had modified, but in the end he didn't even recognize it.

The old man touched the branches of these small trees and said: "They are still herbaceous plants, but they are too strong. If these fruits can be eaten, at least we will not be short of food in the future."

"Just relying on your magic, little friend, we can get a lot of food."

Wang Liang smiled awkwardly and said, "Controlling these plants is already my limit."

Seeing that Wang Liang didn't understand what he meant, the old man explained patiently: "This new type of potato has grown fast enough. Even without your spell, if it is edible, we only need to plant it in large quantities."

As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to grab a potato fruit and pulled it off.

When Wang Liang saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Qin, you don't want to eat this thing randomly. I won't be responsible for eating people to death."

The old man glanced at Wang Liang and said: "I'm not a fool, why would I eat it randomly? I just smelled it and used it for observation."

He put the yellow fruit in front of his nose and smelled it, then touched it with the skin of his mouth. Then he took out a knife from his waist and cut it open to observe the pulp inside.

Except for the different appearance, the flesh inside is similar to potatoes.

"It looks edible." The old man said to himself.

Wang Liang emphasized: "You still can't eat this thing randomly. Maybe we should find a white mouse or something to experiment on."

The old man nodded and thought what Wang Liang said made sense. He handed the potato to the person next to him and said, "Wang Yi, go fry this thing and let's have a taste."

He turned around and said: "We are the guinea pigs. These days, the guinea pigs are no longer suitable to be used as experimental subjects. We are the only ones to do it ourselves."

"According to my experience, as long as it doesn't kill you, it's edible."

Wang Liang scratched his head with his hand, feeling that it was very unreliable, but he knew that there was a reason why the old man was so eager.

After such a long time, food has become scarce, and because of the accelerated oxidation reaction, meat products rot very quickly, and they will still go bad even if they are dried and stored.

Many granaries storing grain are also damaged. Some insect-like monsters in the black mist will steal the grain and eat a lot of it.

The potatoes will be fragrant when stir-fried with some chili peppers and a few slices of fat. A hot plate of fried potatoes with meat is placed on the table, and the aroma is overflowing.

Everyone couldn't help but drool, but they just watched, no one dared to eat.

The old man took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Have you ever noticed that these fresh potatoes have a special aroma, which can arouse people's appetite?"

He paused, then changed his tone and said, "Does any of you want to give it a try?"

Everyone was silent, just looking at the old man and the plate of potatoes.

Wang Liang looked at this scene, hesitated and said, "Mr. Qin, let me do it. After all, I am an extraordinary person with a better physique, and I also made this thing."

The old man shook his head repeatedly and said: "That won't work, just because you are an extraordinary person. You can't eat it to death, and there is no problem if you eat it. That doesn't mean that ordinary people can't die of it, and there is no problem if you eat it."

"It's better for me to do it. You're already quite old anyway, so it wouldn't be a pity if you die."

Another young man wearing a gray coat and glasses, Wang Lihui, said loudly: "It's me, Chief Qin. This kind of thing is not your turn yet."

After saying that, before the old man could reply, he picked up the kuaizi and put a piece of potato into his mouth. He closed his eyes tightly with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was taking some kind of poison.

Without chewing twice, he opened his eyes and said with surprise: "It tastes very good, very delicious! It still tastes like potatoes, but there is a difference."

With that said, he took two more bites.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at him. There was no sound in the room, only the sound of him chewing vegetables.

Wang Liang asked: "How is it?"

Wang Lihui nodded and said, "It tastes really good."

"I mean, do you have any other feelings?" Wang Liang asked again.

Wang Lihui stopped the tachyon and said thoughtfully: "My body feels light and my mind is very clear. It doesn't contain any stimulant ingredients."

Before he finished speaking, he fell backwards and was supported by the old man. The skin on his face turned livid.

"I said there must be something wrong. The energy in the air absorbed by this plant is related to extraordinary people. Ordinary people will not be able to bear it if they eat it."

Wang Liang suddenly reacted and slapped his hand on the table.

The old man pointed to the person next to him: "Send him to the infirmary quickly. He doesn't eat much, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lihui was carried to the infirmary by four or five people.

The doctor was a middle-aged man who turned out to be a military doctor. Looking at Wang Lihui's condition, he looked surprised and puzzled:

"His condition doesn't look like he was poisoned, but more like he was too weak to get enough. What did he eat? Thousand-year-old ginseng?"

Wang Liang thought for a while and said, "He probably just ate potatoes."

"Potatoes?" The doctor was still puzzled: "Can you eat potatoes like this?"

Wang Liang gestured and said, "That's a new type of potato developed by our department. This brother should be fine."

The doctor thought for a while and said: "It's okay, just take a rest and he will be fine. Don't give him that food again."
