Regarding the origin of Farmer Spring, there has always been a lot of speculation within the Campus. Even the campus robots couldn’t explain how it formed.

In the early days of North Campus’s establishment, the location of Farmer Spring was uncertain, wandering around the outskirts of the entire C-area.

Later, after several data analyses by the campus authorities, its approximate location was determined.

As for its taste, those who have tried it agree—it’s terrible.

The bottled Farmer Spring sold in the resource center has been purified by the campus, and it tastes slightly bitter.

Xiao Xian and Yiyi have both tasted the unprocessed water, which is bitter with a hint of astringency, though it is quite effective in recovering physical strength.

The above mentioned is about the Farmer Spring before it changed. Around the time the C-area greening project was completed, the water of Farmer Spring suddenly lost its bitterness, and the once fluctuating water level also calmed down, stopping at the outskirts of the living area in C-area, about a kilometer away from Xiao Xian and their new apartment.

The Spring’s effectiveness disappeared; its ability to relieve fatigue and restore physical strength was gone. Because of this, the campus robots even took a new sample of water and sent it to South Campus for analysis.

Analysis results showed that the water in the Spring no longer differed from ordinary surface water. The few remaining bottles of Farmer Spring in the C-area resource center were permanently sealed by campus authorities, preserved as a memorial.

Xiao Xian was a bit annoyed by this incident, suspecting that her and Little White Jiao’s accidental rainfall caused the Spring to lose its effects.

Xuerou consoled her, saying, "Don’t worry about it, this is just like how a country needs to develop—there has to be a trade-off between economy and environment. Perhaps springs like the Farmer Spring are only suitable for environments like the sandy C-area."

Continuous rainfall transformed the Farmer Spring into Sha Lake, its area expanding from a few meters to the size of half a soccer field.

Feeling guilty, Xiao Xian also planted Tamarisk around Sha Lake. Today’s Farmer Sha Lake, though not comparable to the willows by the crystal-clear West Lake, has already gained a third of West Lake’s charm.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Xian, bothered by the heat of the hot pot, also stood up and followed Xuerou’s gaze towards Sha Lake.

"There seems to be a bright light in the middle of the lake." From the second floor, looking past the not so tall Tamarisks, one could see the entire lake surface.

"A bright light? I didn’t notice that, Yiyi, come take a look," Xiao Xian’s eyes, irritated by the heat of the hot pot, rubbed the corners of her eyes and looked towards Farmer Sha Lake, only seeing the eastern side of the lake with the moon emerging.

"Where? Let me see," Yiyi, biting her chopsticks, bounced over. On the lake surface, rippling waves occasionally reflecting a lone late-returning bird, nothing else.

"Both of you didn’t see it? It’s about thirty to forty meters away on the southwest side of the lake, there’s a bright light fading," Xuerou pinpointed the exact location, but Xiao Xian and Yiyi still couldn’t see anything.

"You must be seeing things," Yiyi pulled them back to the table, Xuerou kept staring at the lake surface a few more times, Xiao Xian also looked again along the lake surface, still seeing nothing.

After moving house, the three of them began focusing on their respective studies.

After entering Bailin Forest, the central computer, just like last time, popped up a line: "Would you like to continue the last unfinished lesson?"

"Yes," Xiao Xian was more confident this time, the last challenge that stumped her was "Turning three three-year-old Dragon’s Beard Grass into a ten-year-old Dragon’s Beard Grass."

Three clusters of robust Dragon’s Beard Grass appeared in front of Xiao Xian. Dragon’s Beard Grass is a common grass in warm and humid areas, taller than cattail, standing over one meter tall, with the tallest cluster reaching her shoulder.

In previous course experiments, Xiao Xian used a method similar to weaving cattail mats and pads, attempting to infuse Silver Space Spiritual Energy into the Dragon’s Beard Grass.

Unfortunately, the cattail used during weaving was dry grass after being harvested, whereas the required Dragon’s Beard Grass was living grass, which easily deflected the infused Spiritual Energy.

With a bit of force, Xiao Xian caused the Dragon’s Beard Grass to rot, unable to complete the course content.
