Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: The Great Seed Selection Contest!

Next, it was Qi Tianyu’s turn.

Although he didn’t know what Jiang Li had chosen, just from her recent conversation with the director, something was definitely off!

So Qi Tianyu stroked his chin and pondered seriously.

Planting flowers? Although it’s quite romantic, it seemed a bit unreliable.

Planting tea? That also seemed unreliable, as high school geography had said, tea is best grown in hilly areas, and this is a plateau region with a large diurnal temperature range, highly unsuitable.

Wait a second, unsuitable…

Suddenly something flashed through Qi Tianyu’s mind, and then he had an epiphany.

The people in the live stream didn’t know his inner thoughts and just watched him pick up card after card, nodding his head sometimes and shaking it at others, finally settling on the very choice of fresh flower seeds that he should have dismissed in the first place.

[? Why did Qi choose this? I thought he’d go for wheat.]

[Sisters, I get it now! Some of these seeds just aren’t suitable for planting on the Southwest Plateau at all! Although Qi Tianyu’s choice was unexpected, it is relatively correct—Chixia Village has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is very suitable for growing flowers, and it’s summer now, so I’d bet Jiang Li also realized this and went straight for the most appropriate crop to plant right now, sweet potatoes!]

[Wow, there’s this mystery to it. I wouldn’t have noticed if you guys didn’t explain, the production team is really sly!]

[It’s got to be Qi, the liberal arts student, spotting the details straight away.]

[Looking at it this way, Jiang Li’s knowledge is really good. Isn’t she a finance major? She even knows this geographic knowledge.]

[Just a wild guess, right? How could Jiang Li, a junior college student, be more impressive than a graduate from a top university? Stop glorifying her.]

[I’m getting more and more convinced that Jiang Li has the script, disgusting, how can she spot flaws in every task? That’s too coincidental!]

After taking the card, Qi Tianyu walked towards Jiang Li with a meaningful look on his face.

Then he whispered in her ear, “You’ve noticed it too, haven’t you?”

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

Among those ten types of seeds, only a few were suitable for planting on the Southwest Plateau in the summer.

The production team probably did this to test the contestants’ knowledge of agriculture.

Clearly, Shu Yan hadn’t noticed this point.

After skimming through the options, she chose strawberry seeds.

The reason was simple. She liked eating strawberries.

It was Jiang Yan’s turn.

Although he hadn’t spotted the trap the production team had set, he noticed the tactics of Jiang Li and Qi Tianyu.

There had to be a catch!

After some thought, he raised the corner of his mouth and chose the only crop card among the seven cards left.

The production team must have thought he’d go for some high-class seeds like coffee or durian.

He wouldn’t.

He deliberately chose the most inconspicuous wheat seeds.

However, the astute live stream audience burst into laughter.

[Help, why does Jiang Yan look so confident picking wheat seeds?]

[Could the young master think he’s outsmarted them, not falling into the production team’s trap? But it turns out he was the most outrageously fooled!]

[Newcomers might not know what happened, let me enlighten you all—wheat in the Southwest Region is generally winter wheat, if you plant wheat this season, the outcome will only be a complete failure, not even as good as the strawberries Shu Yan chose.]

[I’m dying of laughter, hahaha, Jiang Yan thought he was clever avoiding the trap, but he got tricked instead!]

He Yun also had a hard time choosing the type of seed.

His instinct told him that these seeds were definitely not simple.

Even just in terms of economic value, there was a hierarchy.

After weighing his options, he chose the medicinal herb, codonopsis.

“Wow, brother actually chose Chinese medicine!”

“He Yun, you’re so confused, how could you have been tricked by the production team too.”

“Folks, in fact, codonopsis can also be planted in the Southwest Region, it’s just that Chinese medicine requires too much technique.”

“I’ve spotted a problem, isn’t this variety show only shooting for four or five days? The production team has the guests farming, but there’s no way there could be any yield in just a few days, what’s the point?”

“What about Wen Jiaojiao? She’s in the hospital right now, isn’t she unable to do anything?”

Director Sun quickly resolved the audience’s questions.

Several staff members scurried over with a huge display screen and set it up beside the test fields.

As everyone wondered what the display was for, Wen Jiaojiao’s face suddenly appeared on it.

At this moment, she was lying in a hospital bed, looking sallow from having an IV drip and vomiting, completely lacking her usual radiance.

Director Sun clicked his tongue, “Jiaojiao, how are you feeling now?”

Looking at the camera beside her, Wen Jiaojiao deliberately spoke in a feeble voice,

“I’m okay…”

“That’s good, there are five types of seeds here for you to pick one to plant in your test field,” Director Sun didn’t fall for her act, turning into an emotionless task distributor, “Also, because you were late this morning and delayed the shooting by eating poisonous mushrooms, the production team has decided to deduct two good score points from you.”

Wen Jiaojiao was shocked and immediately sat up from the hospital bed.

“Director, I’m still in the hospital, how can you do this?!”

Director Sun was inflexible, “This is a fair decision. That’s reality for you, because you delayed the work, your test field’s progress will be slower than the rest.”

Screams of frustration from Wen Jiaojiao came through the screen, yet the others, including Qi Tianyu, couldn’t help but snicker gleefully.

Jiang Yan’s laughter was the loudest of all.

Wen Jiaojiao instantly found a target to vent her anger but burst into uncontrollable laughter herself when she saw Jiang Yan’s face.

“Hahaha, who are you? Are you really Jiang Yan? Didn’t you just fall into a mud pit yesterday? How did you manage to fall in again today?”

Jiang Yan snorted coldly, “Don’t laugh too soon. Let me tell you, you’re now the last in ratings. When the show’s over and you still have to stay here, you won’t be laughing anymore.”

“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, Princess Wen is in such a state, yet Director Sun refuses to let her off the hook, that’s too harsh.”

“On other shows, if a guest falls ill, the directors would wish to take their place, but on Flash Change, the guest gets mushroom poisoning and still has to do a live broadcast, it truly lives up to its name.”

“I’m going to die laughing, I’m squatting in Wen Jiaojiao’s live broadcast room, just now she laughed so loud that a nurse came over to tell her to keep it down, it’s even more hilarious.”

“This isn’t a cast of villains, it’s a cast of comedians.”

Director Sun coughed, interrupting the quarreling duo.

“Alright, it’s getting late, Wen Jiaojiao, you better decide quickly what you’re going to pick.”

Wen Jiaojiao’s attention finally shifted to the small table beside her, where the cards were placed.

She looked around and was not satisfied with any of them.

“This is it? There’s nothing else? I was planning to plant roses in my field.”

Director Sun said, “There were flower seeds originally, but they’ve already been picked by the other guests.”

“What?” Wen Jiaojiao was not happy, “Then why do they get to pick first and leave the leftovers for me?”
