Chapter 143
Red-haired Trendy Guy was panting for breath.
“That damned Game turned me into a Cactus and dumped me so far away from you guys! I’m exhausted!”
Shamate was thrilled to see him too.
“How did you find us?”
Red-haired Trendy Guy said furiously, “How else? I asked around one by one. It took me a ton of effort, damn it. Some of the plants over there were downright vicious. They actually tried to eat me. Aren’t they afraid of getting pricked in the mouth?”
After saying that, he turned to look at the enormous Sunflower next to them.
“This has to be Sister Yun, right? You’re seriously huge. You look so sturdy and well-fed. But Sister Yun, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Red-haired Trendy Guy stared curiously at the Sunflower.
Yun Youyou: “Sun of a-!”
Red-haired Trendy Guy was so scared his spines nearly wilted. “Sister Yun, why are you cussing me out?”
Yun Youyou: “…”
Shamate had no choice but to step forward and explain.
Once he was done, Red-haired Trendy Guy laughed so hard his entire Cactus body shook.
“Hahahahahaha… How can there be such a hilarious setting? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at a Sunflower the same way again. Sister Yun, is your Sunflower from Zaun or something? Why does your cursing sound so authentic?”
Yun Youyou: “Sun of a-!!!”
Shamate translated with great solemnity, “This time, Sister Yun might actually be cursing you.”
Red-haired Trendy Guy was laughing so hard he was almost in tears.
Amid his laughter, the sun gradually sank below the horizon.
Yun Youyou’s flower head happened to be facing the setting sun.
Shamate found a brand-new thing to laugh at.
“Sister Yun, what are you going to do when the sun rises in the east tomorrow? Are you going to whip your head around with a whoosh? Will all the sunflower seeds on top go flying off?”
Yun Youyou was so angry her petals nearly fell off.
“Sun of a- sun of a- sun of a- sun of a- sun of a-!”
Then her ears were filled with the laughter of those two rotten plants, Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy.

Fortunately, a Sunflower was not actually that obscene.
While it was dark, Yun Youyou shifted her flower head bit by bit.
Just before sunrise, she finally managed to point her flower head toward the eastern sky.
Red-haired Trendy Guy shook his head and sighed. “What a pity.”
Shamate shook his head along with him.
Yun Youyou: “…” What Cactus and Pea Sprout? These two were clearly a pair of rotten bamboo shoots.
“Are these the plants we’re supposed to find?”
A stranger’s voice suddenly came from the distance.
The three plants looked up at the sound.
They saw a group of young men and women walking over.
They were all students from Agricultural and Forestry University.
Back when they were human, people had not seemed frightening at all. But now that they had become plants, the sudden sight of a whole crowd surrounding them made them feel inexplicably uneasy.
Especially since all three plants had to crane their heads up just to see the students’ faces clearly.
“Whoa, this Sunflower is holding its head really high. Its cervical spine must be in great shape.”
“Idiot, plants don’t have cervical spines!”
“Oh, right, right!”
After joking around for a while, the group finally got down to business.
“The teacher just said the plants we planted are in this area. If we can’t find them, we’re doomed.”
“But I don’t know how to take care of plants at all!”
“Number 3232. I found it.”
A tall man stood in front of Yun Youyou.
A large patch of sunlight over her head was blocked out.
Yun Youyou craned her stem so far it was almost about to snap, but she still could not make out what he looked like.
Fortunately, the man finally crouched down.
When she saw that handsome, refined face, Yun Youyou finally remembered who this man was.
Wasn’t this Su Gou-the guy who’d loved building Ghost Realm Lego back then?
Who would’ve thought she’d run into him here?
Su Gou had no idea that the Sunflower in front of him was an old ghostly acquaintance.
He carefully checked the little sign planted in front of the Sunflower and confirmed that this was, indeed, the subject of his assessment.
He was clearly a computer science major, yet now he had to become an agricultural student inside the Game.
This wasn’t even remotely related to his major!
Su Gou’s face was utterly expressionless, but internally, he was full of complaints.
This stupid Game was getting more inhumane by the day.
No one knew what would happen if they failed a class, and none of them dared to gamble on it.
Fine. Time to see what his research topic was.
Su Gou pulled a sheet of paper out of his pocket.
Written on it was: “Cultivate a Sunflower That Doesn’t Swear at People.”
Su Gou: ?
There were actually Sunflowers in this world that swore at people?
Wasn’t this written wrong? Shouldn’t it be “cultivate a Sunflower that does swear at people”?
Su Gou stared at it for a long while but couldn’t make sense of it, so he simply looked up and began studying the Sunflower.
It looked pretty sturdy. Its leaves were nice and green too, so it should be healthy. Whether it swore or not, though, he had no idea.
After staring for a while, Su Gou’s hands started to itch. He couldn’t help reaching out to touch it.
Yun Youyou’s face was full of terror.
Don’t come any closer!
Su Gou couldn’t hear her and continued stretching his evil claws toward Yun Youyou’s leaves.
Then, something strange happened.
In broad daylight, he actually saw the Sunflower’s leaf flick to the side, trying to dodge his touch.
Su Gou frowned deeply. Could this Sunflower have become sentient?
No. It had to be because of the wind.
Su Gou tried again.
This time, the Sunflower’s leaf nimbly darted aside once more.
Su Gou: !!!
No. I have to touch it.
Su Gou stubbornly reached out his hand.
This time, he gave Yun Youyou no chance to react and touched her leaf directly.
A voice rang out clearly in his mind.
“Fuck!”
Su Gou: ???
He blankly lowered his hand, his entire body going still.
What was going on?
Could this Sunflower really swear?
In disbelief, Su Gou crouched on the ground and stared at the Sunflower for a long time.
But this Sunflower looked so polite on the outside. What exactly was happening here?
After sitting there in a daze for ages, Su Gou finally climbed back to his feet.
Dizzy and muddle-headed, he walked back the way he’d come.
Someone nearby saw him like that and couldn’t help coming over to ask, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?”
Su Gou rubbed his temples.
“I feel like there might be something wrong with my mind. I need to go back and rest.”
The person watched Su Gou leave and muttered in confusion, “What on earth happened?”
Yun Youyou innocently spread her leaves.
It seemed like she’d scared Su Gou.
Red-haired Trendy Guy understood Su Gou’s feelings very well.
“Anyone who heard a Sunflower swear ‘Fuck!’ would feel like they’d seen a ghost. I can understand how he feels.”
Shamate joined the conversation too.
“I’m so pissed off. What kind of garbage topics are these students researching? My topic is actually On Whether a Pea Sprout Can Grow Into a Peashooter!”
“If I could grow into a Peashooter, the first thing I’d do is spray them with peas!”
Red-haired Trendy Guy patted his root comfortingly.
“You’ve still got it pretty good. They’re trying to research me into a Cactus that can be planted in the ocean. I’m starting to suspect there’s something wrong with their brains.”
“By the way, Sister Yun, what’s your research topic?”
