How can there be so many inside the facility?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t wait to pull them out of the soil!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freshmen stared in awe at the sea of flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, instructors and students from the three universities. This way, please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance, the garden’s chief administrator, Ma Yang, and his staff had already been waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Director Ma.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor in charge of this harvest was Hu Ping, from the Weaponry College of Demon University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sixth-rank peak psychic—Xu Jingming had once attended her class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since his gunnery had already reached Master level, he never returned after that single lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Ping nodded slightly, then led the freshmen into the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing University students will harvest Sunflowers in Zone C-12.

Xu Jingming, Kiran, Dong Sheng—you three step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest, follow your respective school instructors to your assigned zones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harvest S-rank rare flora alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming frowned slightly—he felt something off about Director Ma, but couldn’t pinpoint what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t say exactly what felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with the instructors here, nothing should go wrong...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to figure it out, Xu Jingming turned and told Song Qiuyun and the others, then walked ahead alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harvest S-rank rare flora alone? I want to go too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, you’re dreaming—only the top three get that privilege!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even inhaling the scent of an S-rank rare flower could bring tremendous benefits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the freshmen’s envious gazes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming and the other two left the group and followed behind Hu Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Instructor Hu, and the three students, follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Ma’s smile widened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other dozen or so administrators also split into three groups, each leading the faculty and freshmen from their respective universities to different regions of the plantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wishing all dear readers a joyful Mid-Autumn and National Day holiday!\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-21T05:33:57.936Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7473f74a75bb5a9a05730f9f6fef42951f2e8598ae14e62bbedb1224a1adeb43","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-143","global-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-chapter-141",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-psychic-powers-starting-off-with-the-awak-cover.jpg"]
