Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 14 This foxtail grass is inedible.

[Earth Spirit Ginseng: One of the main ingredients used by cultivators to refine Spirit Nourishing Pills. It possesses abundant spiritual energy and can be consumed without worry.]

Wang Ce's eyes widened. "Although I grew up in the city, how could I not tell the difference between foxtail grass and ginseng?"

Looking around, there were still quite a few of these foxtail grasses, belonging to the category of those that no one had picked.

Wang Ce tried to pick one, but an old man nearby smiled and said:

"Young man, you think foxtail grass can be domesticated into millet, so you want to collect it to study, right?"

"This process requires thousands of years of natural and artificial selection, which we definitely cannot wait for."

"Before the transmigration, this foxtail grass was indeed edible. It is cooling in nature and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It can be eaten in moderation or boiled in water. But this is after the transmigration."

"Yesterday I tried to persuade a young man to eat this, and as a result, I ended up having diarrhea with him all night. You really shouldn't eat this!"

The old man was clearly someone of some status and position, and the young people around him all treated him with great respect.

One of the young men, who had an honest-looking face, laughed and said, "I am the young man that Professor Guo was talking about. Professor Guo is a biology professor. He came to our factory to conduct experiments. I never expected to travel through time with him."

"Yesterday, I listened to Mr. Guo's advice and ate this foxtail grass. I had diarrhea all night long."

Wang Ce breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't poisoned to death, that was fine. He would never have had the courage to try that meat sausage before.

This herb only causes diarrhea; we can still verify whether the gold-level entry is reliable.

In any case, the recognition end is definitely unreliable, and the result end still needs to be tested.

If something that's like a laxative to others is like a precious ginseng to you, then you've really hit the jackpot.

"Hey, hey, hey—young man, are you starving? How can you be so stubborn? You really can't eat this!"

Old Guo waved his hand repeatedly, trying to stop Wang Ce, but Ce ate even faster!

"If Brother Ce is eating, then I'll eat too!"

Before Wang Ce could even determine whether the foxtail grass was truly a spiritual ginseng, Huang Feipeng, standing beside him, grabbed a foxtail grass and ate it without a word.

In his view, there must be a reason why someone as cautious as Wang Ce would choose to force himself to do something like this.

"Hey, hey, hey—you fatso, you can't eat this!"

Wang Ce was surprised that Huang Feipeng ate so fast. Before he could stop him, Huang Feipeng had already swallowed the food.

"It's okay, Brother Ce, I understand."

Huang Feipeng thought Wang Ce was putting on a show for him, and he smiled and prepared to eat another one.

But the next second, Huang Feipeng clutched his stomach and his face changed.

"Something's wrong, something's really wrong! I feel like my stomach is about to shoot an arrow!!"

Zhang Luoyan, who was standing nearby, also walked up to Wang Ce with a puzzled look on her face and whispered in his ear:

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly eating this?"

She understands Wang Ce and wouldn't make baseless accusations.

Wang Ce didn't know how to explain, so after the group had walked a distance forward, he finally spoke:

"My physique has evolved. You can think of it as my physique being special, able to digest things that others cannot digest."

Zhang Luoyan nodded thoughtfully. Huang Feipeng, standing beside her, seemed to have just realized something, his eyes widening instantly, and he said incredulously:

"Brother Ce, that meat sausage—you can't actually eat it, can you?"

"Ouch! My stomach! I'll never eat whatever I want again!"

Huang Feipeng clutched his stomach, his forehead covered in sweat.

Wang Ce originally planned to walk all the way to the riverbank for a stroll, but judging from Huang Feipeng's posture, he probably wouldn't be able to keep going until then.

However, this trip also confirmed a few things. First, not all predators in the forest are as terrifying as they seem.

The giant wolves attacked humans before because this wolf pack was the apex predator in the area.

Humans were like sudden invaders, and naturally they were attacked by giant wolves.

His previous speculation that the giant wolf might have encountered other humans now seems to be inaccurate.

Secondly, Fuhuakang Electronics Factory did not hunt extensively, nor did it produce a large number of evolved beings. The reason they were able to sweep across the Great River so forcefully was entirely due to the power grid.

Previously, Wang Ce saw at the south gate of the park that four employees of Fuhuakang Electronics Processing Plant were operating a large grid, which was actually an electric grid developed by their factory.

As long as electricity is applied, even a giant wolf will be stunned. This is the core reason why Fuhuakang was able to leave the factory and go out to explore in a short time.

Thirdly, his ability to identify things is truly useful; the information he identifies may be wrong for others, but correct for himself.

That foxtail grass would cause severe diarrhea in others, but after he ate one, not only was he fine, he also felt that his body's evolution was deepening.

Although it can't compare to the giant wolf's red crystal core, there are so many foxtail grasses in the forest that quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.

There aren't many crystal cores outside for him to evolve, so these foxtail grasses might allow him to reach the evolution threshold earlier and enter the next level of life.

Fourth, Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng are exceptions. While some people do become evolved beings, their physical abilities increase significantly, but I have never heard of anyone being able to sense that they might have superpowers.

Excluding those who deliberately conceal their abilities, the number of people who can master supernatural powers should be extremely small.

People like myself are probably a very small minority.

When we got back to the vicinity of the factory, the workers from the factory to the north were driving around aimlessly.

Under such intense searching, the giant wolves dared not linger in the park, and the few remaining giant wolves fled in panic, leaving the park.

Zhao Erde occupied the north gate of the industrial park, seemingly trying to emulate Fuhuakang Electronics Factory.

After all, most factories in the north are automated factories with dozens of employees, while Xinke Plastics Factory has a scale of more than 200 people, so theoretically he could have done it.

However, there seemed to be some kind of argument in front of the north gate of the park.

"Pfft!"

Huang Feipeng farted like thunder; he must have farted countless times in the car along the way.

Wang Ce kicked him out of the car and left him in front of and behind the factory gate. Zhang Luoyan stepped on the gas and prepared to go to the north gate of the industrial park to take a look.

Tomorrow they will organize a hunting party, and they will need to explore both the north and south sides of the park.

"What's going on? What are they arguing about?"

Wang Ce saw Luo Ji from Jingmao Luggage and Zhou Li from Daqiang Electronics Technology at the back of the crowd, and went up to ask what was going on.

Compared to the factories in the south, the power structure centered around Fuhuakang Electronics Processing Plant is much more complex in the north of the park.

The number of people was actually not much different, and no one was willing to submit to anyone else. Everyone wanted to be the leader, and they couldn't agree on the distribution of benefits, so conflicts naturally arose.

Zhou Li adjusted his glasses, took a deep breath, and said, "This Zhao Erde seized power after transmigrating, taking advantage of the boss of Xinke Plastics Factory's absence."

"I heard that he gathered a large group of male workers and acted like a tyrant in the factory. Any female worker he took a fancy to would be forced to sleep with him."

"He even slept with the owner's wife at the plastics factory."

"This was originally an internal matter for their factory, and I didn't want to get involved, but this bastard actually tried to block the north gate of the industrial park and collect protection money."

Luo Ji from Jingmao Luggage was so angry he laughed, and said speechlessly, "This Zhao Erde is a real idiot. I don't know how such a fool became a workshop supervisor."

"He actually naively thought that guarding the north gate of the factory would keep the people inside the industrial park out of the way?"

"We can't leave through the South Gate? Surely I can climb over the wall and get out?"

Zhang Luoyan didn't say a word, turned around and prepared to get into the car. Not only Wang Ce, but also the other two factory workers' eyelids twitched.

They had all heard about Zhang Luoyan's car accident that killed two elderly women. She was a ruthless person who would violently run people over at the slightest provocation.

Wang Ce grabbed Zhang Luoyan, knowing that if they bumped into each other, it would have a bad influence and be detrimental to their development.

"Why are you holding my hand? I'm getting in the car to get my chewing gum."

"I don't believe you for a second," Wang Ce said, holding Zhang Luoyan's hand tightly in front of everyone, refusing to let go.

Not far away, Zhao Erde, standing in front of the north gate of the park, saw Zhang Luoyan next to Wang Ce and his eyes were filled with undisguised greed.

In the days since he traveled through time, he has experienced the thrill of power.

The once aloof and superior proprietress is now kneeling on the ground, striking poses and going to great lengths to please him, all for a bite to eat.

Those who usually disagree with me are now fawning over me, not daring to utter a single word.

In his view, as long as he beckoned, a top beauty like Zhang Luoyan would rush to throw herself into his arms.

"By the way, Manager Zhang, I heard from the property management that your factory has discovered the function of the giant wolf crystal core. I think it's used to strengthen metals?"

"I know a few factories that have hunted down giant wolves and wanted me to ask you if it's really possible to trade them for food or weapons and equipment?"

Luo Ji from Jingmao Luggage suddenly spoke up. Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan exchanged a glance, suppressing their excitement.

The fish has taken the bait; this is the effect of information asymmetry.
