The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 275 Harvest

Principal Shu signed calmly, collected the delivery, and even left a positive rating for the robot.

When he entered the house with the package, the first thing he did was to change the delivery rules for his residence, deciding not to accept deliveries at night anymore.

He casually placed the package on the table, without checking who sent it, planning to deal with it tomorrow.

But Principal Shu, having walked only a few steps away, inexplicably stopped.

“Let’s just check it, or else I’ll keep thinking about it.”

Principal Shu walked back, picked up the package, and instantly felt energized by the sender’s name on it.

Earth Bar.

Could it be the calligraphy he had requested?

Ever since he saw the signature at Earth Bar, Principal Shu had been convinced of the sender’s profound skill in calligraphy, he even saved the signature wall from the Star Network for further study.

Principal Shu did not open the calligraphy immediately; instead, he calmed his emotions first, knowing that appreciating calligraphy required a peaceful mind.

Not only peaceful, but he also washed his hands before taking the package to his study, where he adjusted the room’s brightness to the most comfortable level.

Once everything was ready, Principal Shu reverently opened the package and took out a cylinder from inside.

Opening the cylinder and looking through the round end, he could see a thin piece of paper smeared with ink inside.

It truly was the calligraphy he had requested! Today’s preparations had not been in vain.

Principal Shu carefully took out the paper and slowly unrolled it, spreading it out on the desk.

“Heaven moves with vigor, and the noble one never stops striving; Earth’s stance is receptive, and the noble one carries great virtue.”

Without thinking, Principal Shu read out the two lines.

But after reading, Principal Shu remained silent and motionless for a long time.

He even had a moment where he didn’t know whether to appreciate the words or savor the calligraphy on it.

Principal Shu’s understanding of calligraphy was naturally top-notch.

He couldn’t judge too many details, but he knew that the calligraphy before him was excellent.

It was the kind of script that, whether you understand calligraphy or not, everyone would commend.

He sensed a mystical Taoist skill hidden deep within.

Just one look was enough to feel somewhat submerged in its depths.

When Mrs. Shu came downstairs, she found Principal Shu in the study, standing motionless, his eyes fixed on the desk.

Years of marriage let her know, he had found something he liked.

Mrs. Shu didn’t speak up to disturb him, softly walking to his side, she too gazed at the writing on the desk.

Another person now stood quietly appreciating.

Mrs. Shu wasn’t particularly fond of calligraphy, but such writing captured her affection with just one glance.

Most importantly, Mrs. Shu was a professor of traditional culture at the interstellar university, and the two phrases deeply resonated with her.

When the couple finally snapped out of their reverie, dawn had already broken.

“Old Shu, who wrote this?”

“Earth Bar.”

“A great talent.”

Mrs. Shu’s remark found strong agreement with Principal Shu.

He said, feeling somewhat conflicted, “How can I pay for such writing? It almost feels unworthy.”

“Don’t talk about money! Anyone who can write like this is clearly beyond worldly attachments; how could they be confined by money?”

Mrs. Shu thought seriously for a moment and then suggested, “Why not offer him a position as an honorary professor at our interstellar university? Or even as a regular professor, as long as he’s willing to teach.”

Principal Shu nodded in agreement, that could work.

At this level, the person would likely enjoy sharing their wisdom.

Principal Shu immediately contacted Mr. Yu and inquired about the contact information for Earth Bar. Initially, Mr. Yu was reluctant to give it, but when he saw the words of Earth Bar, especially the phrases above, he complied.

Originally, he had always misunderstood Earth Bar. It was not about giving up poetry, it was clearly that he had achieved great success in poetry and had started having some other interests.

Mr. Yu even felt that the fighting contests he hosted were somewhat insulting to Earth Bar. If it hadn’t been for his over-talking, Earth Bar certainly wouldn’t have wanted to participate.

Thinking this, Mr. Yu even felt a bit guilty.

When Mr. Yu’s message reached Nian Shutong, she still didn’t realize how far her earning from selling characters had flown from her.

She readily agreed to Mr. Yu’s inquiry, telling Principal Shu to contact her.

When Nian Shutong received Principal Shu’s message, it was filled with a stream of compliments about her words.

At that time, Nian Shutong was eating, and she tried to figure out how much she had earned from all those compliments.

But when she finished reading, she didn’t find a single number.

What is this? Honorary Professor?

Is paying her considered an insult?

Nian Shutong, holding dumplings in her hand, bit into one in frustration and chewed vigorously.

She really wanted to reply to Principal Shu, to let money crush her to death!

After she had eaten more than a dozen dumplings, Nian Shutong suppressed the sorrow of losing Star Coins and sent a reply to Principal Shu.

“Thank you for your recognition, it’s an honor to become an honorary professor at Interstellar University.”

Empty courtesies still had to be spoken.

“Ah–indeed I’ve fallen.”

After saying this, Nian Shutong shut off her Light Computer, transformed her sorrow into appetite, and ate!

The several people around the dinner table, including Rubble, all sensed that Nian Shutong was not in a good mood.

Rubble: Can’t ask for money today, it hurts.

Ha Ha: Must work extra hard today.

Dou Dou: Don’t annoy Auntie today.

Ji Sisi: Mr. Nian looks so good even when he is angry.

Elder Hua: Can we still get strawberries? I dare not ask.

After finishing the dumplings, everyone quickly cleared out.

The speed of their departure left Nian Shutong in a daze.

“Each of you, quite insightful, aren’t you?” Nian Shutong also stood up, ready to start harvesting.

Rice and wheat had already matured, these were the earliest crops they had planted.

Nian Shutong was happy that harvesting these indicated a signal, the small wooden house could be self-sufficient now.

Now, in every garden of every house in the small wooden house, vegetables had already matured, and some had been eaten for several days.

Vegetables were self-sufficient, and giving grains to them, there was totally no need to worry.

Nian Shutong herself drove a harvester and chose a piece of paddy field to start harvesting.

At this time, the field was divided into several groups.

Half of the people continued to clear new land, while the other half operated machines to harvest the grain.

Some crops that couldn’t be harvested by machines, like garlic, were picked by some women and flexible robots, all busy together.

Everyone’s faces were filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest, all hard-earned by their collective efforts.

Of course, much of it was also thanks to the Boss’s seeds and fertilizers.

Otherwise, the maturity wouldn’t be so quick and there would have been pest issues.

They might not know how to grow crops, but there was plenty of information on Star Network, and most interstellar crops needed a lot of care, including catching insects, watering, and weeding.

Harvest took a long time, yield was low, and it was said that the taste wasn’t the best.

Of course, they didn’t know exactly what the taste was like, but everyone thought that nothing could taste better than the meals from the Boss.
