TWWMABMTBH Chapter 44
by VolareChapter 44: Heavy Gold Seeking Son
Now, not just the System, even Rong Ziyan felt it was becoming fantastical.
He opened the pink box and found a small bottle of perfume inside.
Rong Ziyan sniffed it but couldn’t smell anything. So he clicked on the item details to check the specific effects.
Heavy Gold Seeking Son: Jade dew from the Guanyin Bodhisattva’s bottle. Throughout history, some species have always had difficulty continuing their lineage. Using this perfume can enhance the charm of male creatures. Even ugly ones can unleash supreme masculinity and successfully attract female attention, increasing mating success rates.
The System couldn’t help but cut to the chase, “Isn’t this just an aphrodisiac?”
But Rong Ziyan’s focus was on another point, “So Guanyin usually carries such an indecent thing around with her?”
System: …Maybe she and the Heavenly Path were taking fake medicine on the same day.
That made a lot of sense, and Rong Ziyan rarely agreed with the System’s complaints.
So, without any burden, the two of them finished badmouthing the Heavenly Path and then fell asleep together. Neither of them noticed the prompt: [Depression Value from the Heavenly Path: 1000]
The quiet environment was particularly conducive to sleep.
From the show to the official competition, Rong Ziyan had been busy for two full weeks. Especially in the last week, except for sleep, Rong Ziyan’s brain was working at high speed every second. Even though he was young and energetic, such high-intensity work had exhausted him.
However, Rong Ziyan was very cautious. Before going to bed, he remembered to pack the salted duck eggs and salted fish and put them in the closet.
As for the remaining one hundred and ninety-nine goose eggs, he simply put them in a corner. Rong Ziyan planned to use the incubator in the department’s lab to hatch them later.
The Veterinary Medicine Department at the Agricultural University recently had a project on ecological animal husbandry. Geese, as highly productive domestic birds for down, meat, and eggs, were the most important part of this.
Through his recent observation of the geese, Rong Ziyan could tell that the Anxi White Goose seedlings provided by the System should be the top of the line. Not only were they intelligent, but they also had a strong ability to express themselves, and their down content and quality were also second to none.
Perhaps Rong Ziyan could study their biological characteristics to improve the down production of ordinary Anxi White Geese.
In addition, there were other things to do tomorrow. He wanted to try the newly drawn “Heavy Gold Seeking Son” to see how effective it was. If it worked, he would definitely have to isolate the active ingredients.
Rong Ziyan thought about his plan and then fell asleep.
The next morning at 6:30 am, Rong Ziyan opened his eyes on time. After changing clothes and washing up, Rong Ziyan headed towards the Veterinary Department’s self-retained vegetable garden.
As fate would have it, when Rong Ziyan arrived, someone was already there by the garden, and it seemed like they were helping him feed the geese.
But judging by the sounds, this person seemed to be arguing with the geese?
“Hahahaha, bald, bald, you’re bald too.” Probably because there was no one else around, the person laughed recklessly.
The mocked geese were not to be outdone. After a brief confrontation, they resolutely stretched their necks and pecked at the person.
“You’re bald, you’re bald, your whole family is bald!”
The adolescent geese, united, were as powerful as a medium-sized hunting dog. At first, the person was not in a hurry, but within a minute, they were repeatedly defeated and quickly seized an opportunity to jump out of the vegetable garden and flee for their lives.
In the morning breeze, a black toupee floated gracefully from the top of their head. Rong Ziyan stared at the shiny scalp for a while and immediately recognized the identity of the goose feeder: the head of the Veterinary Medicine Department.
Rong Ziyan thought for a moment, picked up the toupee and shouted to him, “Director, your toupee fell off.”
Early in the morning, this shout was very penetrating. Immediately, the eyes of everyone jogging, sweeping, and heading to the cafeteria focused on the department head.
The department head, bewildered, touched the top of their head, and then looked at Rong Ziyan’s hand, angrily snatching the toupee from Rong Ziyan’s hand and turning to leave.
He thought to himself, this unlucky kid is as annoying as the geese he raises.
[Anger Value: 1000]
Listening to the System’s prompt, Rong Ziyan followed behind the department head and advised, “Calm down, it doesn’t matter if you’re seen, everyone already knows anyway.”
The department head was silent for three seconds, then suddenly felt the urge to cover their face and run away crying. No wonder people on the forum always want to put Rong Ziyan in a sack; this person is really too doggone it!
Looking at the department head’s retreating figure, Rong Ziyan shook his head and sighed, “As expected, he’s still strong in his old age!”
The department head, hearing that from afar, stumbled again.
Bullshit! I’m clearly only forty-eight this year!
[Anger Value: 2000]
Thus, the department head, who had become very “energetic” early in the morning because of Rong Ziyan, sat in the cafeteria and, along with salted duck eggs produced by Rong Ziyan, devoured two large bowls of cornmeal porridge.
They really could eat a lot.
Meanwhile, Rong Ziyan, after checking on the geese, walked towards the rabbit cages.
These were the experimental subjects Rong Ziyan had decided on last night.
Behind the experimental building of the Veterinary Department, there were quite a few small animals. Not only for experiments, but a large part was for observation.
As a veterinarian, no matter what industry they want to work in the future, whether it’s simply being a pet doctor, specializing in immunology, or working in animal husbandry, they must first be familiar with the habits of various common species.
The Veterinary Department of the Agricultural University emphasized growth through practice. To this end, the Veterinary Department of the Agricultural University also set up an animal clinic at the branch school.
Every year, a large number of veterinary students were dispatched there for practical training. The Veterinary Department itself would also treat some animals and raise them in the department so that students could better understand their ecology, so that after graduation, they wouldn’t be just reciting from textbooks and knowing nothing.
The rabbit that Rong Ziyan was targeting today was one of the most typical ones.
A particularly beautiful Angora rabbit, with long white hair, fluffy and soft. Before the arrival of the milk geese, it had long occupied the position of the first mascot of the Veterinary Department.
The only drawback was that this Angora rabbit, for some unknown reason, was almost two years old, but it had never shown any signs of estrus. Not only that, but it seemed to reject all males.
Before, some people in the department had brought their handsome male rabbits to “go on blind dates,” but without exception, they were bitten bald as soon as they were placed in the same cage.
Therefore, Rong Ziyan’s instructors had jokingly assigned a task, “Research why rabbits have delayed sexual development.”
However, later Rong Ziyan and his group did research it and found out that this Angora rabbit had actually matured long ago. The lack of estrus may simply be sexual apathy, or it may be that it wasn’t interested in those male rabbits.
Coincidentally, today someone who didn’t believe this brought their male rabbit to try and find her a match. Right now, they were in the cage next door, letting them get used to each other’s scent.
Rong Ziyan looked at it for a while. The male rabbit was also a rather handsome Angora rabbit. The silver-gray back hair looked very noble. By human standards, it was indeed a good match.
So why exactly didn’t that female rabbit like it?
Rong Ziyan stared at the female rabbit curiously. Sure enough, a barrage of comments appeared above the female rabbit’s head, “Tui! Short-legged man.”
So it was actually because she disliked his short stature?
Rong Ziyan looked at it for a while and found that the female rabbit was really because of this reason.
The male rabbit, on the other hand, was completely fascinated by the female rabbit and had been leaning against the bars, staring at the female rabbit obsessively.
Rong Ziyan thought that being a simp was not easy these days.
So he sprayed some liquid from the Heavy Gold Seeking Son bottle towards the male rabbit. Afterwards, Rong Ziyan moved away a bit, set up his phone camera, and recorded the time.
It was truly magical.
The effect was actually completely different from what the System had blurted out about it being an aphrodisiac. This liquid seemed to enhance the individual charm of male animals in the eyes of the opposite sex.
For example, right now, the female rabbit who had previously disliked his short legs was now completely attracted by his beautiful back hair.
She even shyly moved closer to him.
“He’s, he’s kind of handsome.” Obviously, the female rabbit’s heart was aflutter.
And the male rabbit, who had always been a simp, was naturally overjoyed to get a response. He tried his best to gnaw at the cage, wishing he could jump over there and complete the marriage in the next second.
But Rong Ziyan did not let them go over.
System: People are already trying their best to seek a son, how can you separate them?
Rong Ziyan: I want to see how long the medicine lasts. Besides, forced love is not sweet, and love cannot be achieved through medicine.
System: So what did you just use?
Rong Ziyan: I’m conducting scientific research to improve the mating success rate.
After saying this in all seriousness, Rong Ziyan continued to make detailed observation records of the two rabbits. After half an hour, when he estimated that the effects of the Heavy Gold Seeking Son had worn off, the female rabbit quickly sobered up. She kicked the male rabbit with disdain and went back to her nest to start grooming herself.
She thought to herself, was I cursed just now? Why would I want to be with a short-legged man like that?
The male rabbit, who had his dreams shattered, suffered a double blow and immediately curled up into a ball in the corner and became withdrawn.
Rong Ziyan shook his head and sighed, “What a sin!”
The System was already numb, “Isn’t it all your fault for messing around?”
Rong Ziyan: “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s clearly because the male rabbit didn’t seize the opportunity.”
After hearing this one last shot, the male rabbit became even more withdrawn. Even the grass by its mouth didn’t taste good anymore.
However, Rong Ziyan did not stop there. He took the Heavy Gold Seeking Son and went to several other cages.
That day, all the students in the Veterinary Department felt what it was like to be a single dog.
Even Rong Ziyan’s bald geese could be held in the peacocks’ palms as little darlings. They, the old bachelors who didn’t have partners, suddenly looked extremely miserable.
So what exactly was going on? Why were all these animals suddenly paired up?
These Veterinary Department students naturally didn’t understand and thought it had something to do with the weather.
At this time, however, Rong Ziyan had already extracted a small portion of the liquid from Heavy Gold Seeking Son and put it in a dish to see what it was made of.
He discovered that it was pheromones.
In simple terms, it was a kind of signaling molecule. As early as 1959, scientist Peter Karlson had already discovered the existence of this hormone. Over the years, with the development of technology, the discovery of pheromones has indeed made a huge contribution to biology.
It was only after obtaining the Heavy Gold Seeking Son that Rong Ziyan realized that pheromones could actually be used for the breeding of mammals. Not only could they enhance attraction between opposite sexes, but they could even increase the success rate of conception after mating.
Therefore, if the rules governing them could be understood, the breeding difficulties of some rare species would likely be overcome.
However, the biggest problem was how to synthesize this kind of pheromone.
Rong Ziyan spent a whole month and a half in the laboratory. With a finished product in hand, he imitated and produced a bottle of a similar potion to Heavy Gold Seeking Son. He really wanted to try it again.
But this time, his experimental subject was no longer rabbits, but alpacas, who were part of the institute’s breeding program.
Rong Ziyan took his small bottle of potion and went to the alpaca cage. He was surprised to find that a lot of people had gathered there.
Rong Ziyan didn’t pay attention and walked directly into the alpaca pen. He used a small portion of the potion and then began to observe the phenomenon.
He made sure to choose a spot with few people, where he wouldn’t be blocked, and put his camera on. Then Rong Ziyan stepped back and took out his notebook to start taking notes. Just then, someone came up from behind and bumped into Rong Ziyan without looking. Rong Ziyan instinctively dodged, and the potion in his hand splashed onto the person’s pants leg.
“Hey, you student, can’t you look where you’re going? Why are you so clumsy? You scared me.” The person started to berate Rong Ziyan as soon as they spoke.
Rong Ziyan first looked at his wet pants leg, then turned his head and glanced at the alpacas in the pen who were already eager to move. He patted him on the shoulder with sympathy, “In a moment, you’re definitely going to be scared.”
After speaking, Rong Ziyan quickly left the spot.
The person was confused by Rong Ziyan’s sudden words. Immediately after that, the sound of some animal running came from behind. The person turned his head and met the deep loving eyes of several female alpacas.
