The professors refused to leave.
Shen Wei decided to let them stay.
However, this gaming pod was a futuristic product rewarded to her by the system.
Its industrial standard was extremely high.
The entire exterior didn't even show a single screw mark.
It looked as if it was molded in one piece, and the professors couldn't figure out how it was made no matter how much they studied it.
Shen Wei didn't reveal much, and the old professors present were all aware of confidentiality.
They gave up when they couldn't get any research results.
But every day spent here, they would teach a calculus class at the kindergarten.
Then they would enjoy a hearty meal, tend to the garden, check on the seedlings, and play games for 20 minutes.
These old professors became even more reluctant to leave.
They never knew before that this was what life should be like.
Moreover, the little ones at the kindergarten were all very polite, addressing them as "grandpa" every time they saw them.
This made the professors' hearts bloom with joy, feeling there was no better place than this.
Professor Liu had intended to bring back two university professors to help look after the kindergarten.
He didn't expect things to get so out of hand.
Everyone wanted to stay.
This made the event organizers blame him.
These professors represented half the computer science departments in the country.
There were department heads, doctoral supervisors, and leading experts. Now they had all been lured to a kindergarten. How would the universities manage their classes?
So Professor Liu tried to persuade them to leave one by one, but it's easier to invite gods than to send them away.
They all made excuses, asking others to leave first.
They just wanted to stay for two more days.
Liu Chef was using all his culinary skills every day to cook, and the professors were extremely satisfied with the meals.
Once people relax, it becomes difficult to return to their previous lifestyle.
Those who were living comfortably here became a bit angry when they saw Professor Liu and Professor Gao so actively persuading them to leave.
"Well, well, you've had your fill of good food and comfortable living, and now you don't care about us brothers, is that it?"
Professor Liu said, "You can come back next time."
Over the past few days, the old professors' lectures at the kindergarten were both profound and interesting.
This caused the number of online viewers in the live streaming room to suddenly exceed 300,000.
There were even college students coming to attend online classes.
Considering they were teaching children, the professors used the simplest language possible.
This was very challenging, requiring them to break down all complex technologies.
Only then could they explain things in such a simple and easy-to-understand way.
After much persuasion, and also because they really had teaching duties to attend to, they finally left reluctantly.
After everyone had gone, Professor Gao said with relief, "It's good they left. Otherwise, the Principal might have had to come personally to fetch them."
When these people left, their reluctance was almost tangible.
Seeing Professor Gao's schadenfreude, Professor Liu said, "Why don't you go back too? One of me is enough for the kindergarten!"
Professor Gao immediately bristled, "You want to keep all this to yourself? That won't do!"
He was now very happy at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
After buying a house, he had even moved his wife and children here.
He looked like he was planning to stay for good.
He was a high-level talent. Many government officials were keeping an eye on his movements.
After discovering he had bought a house, local schools tried to poach him with high salaries. They would be happy to have him as an honorary professor even if he didn't want to be a department head!
But Professor Gao refused all offers.
He just wanted to stay here, to be an ordinary old man, or maybe a doorkeeper.
But when he learned that the doorkeeper at Starry Sky Kindergarten was a former special forces king, he immediately felt intimidated.
He couldn't compete, really couldn't compete.
...
In the vegetable garden, they grew seedlings and then transplanted them to the field. Who knew that this time the germination rate would be 99%? There were too many seedlings.
They didn't want to throw them away but didn't know what to do with them.
So Liu Chef discussed this issue with Shen Wei. Qin Shu, who was nearby, saw this and said, "It's simple. Give a pot to each student's family and let them grow it themselves."
Liu Chef said, "Great idea!"
He was mainly worried about wasting the seedlings, so giving them to parents was no problem.
Initially, when each student's family received a pot, it was just small green vegetables. They just needed to water it and it would grow. Seeing the green leaves made them happy.
These vegetables grow fast, ready in 10 to 15 days.
They had become like houseplants.
The children at home would check on them every day, and their families became reluctant to eat them.
Until one day, a student's parent suddenly ran out of vegetables while making noodles.
With no choice, they picked a couple of leaves to cook with the noodles.
The result was a bowl of noodles with a unique fragrance.
They had made these noodles many times before.
The only difference this time was the addition of two green vegetable leaves.
It tasted incredibly refreshing, so they enthusiastically praised it in the class group chat.
"Starry Sky Kindergarten is really generous. When they give something, it's always something good."
"These vegetables are so delicious. You can't even buy vegetables this tasty."
Parents in the group chat would often praise the kindergarten.
Praising Starry Sky Kindergarten had become a habit.
But when parents praised this dish so enthusiastically, others became curious.
So that day, many people made noodles.
When they tasted it, it was indeed extraordinarily fragrant and refreshing.
Especially the vegetables, which were cooked to perfect tenderness. Everyone was amazed.
They had never bought vegetables this fresh and delicious from the market before.
"Ever since I cooked those noodles, they were so fragrant. Now my wife treats that pot of vegetables like a treasure, afraid I might casually pluck a couple of leaves."
Other parents laughed and said, "Can't blame your wife for being so protective. Mainly because this small pot of vegetables doesn't last long. I haven't even dared to stir-fry them."
They had initially thought it was just a potted plant from the school.
To let the children observe plant growth, as kindergartens often like to do such things.
They didn't expect Starry Sky Kindergarten to use the best seeds to grow seedlings that could not only be observed but also eaten.
And they were especially delicious.
This time, the parents couldn't sit still. After tasting these delicious vegetables, they kept craving them every few days.
These vegetables indeed regrow after picking a leaf.
However, they didn't grow as fast as they were being eaten.
One pot wasn't nearly enough, so many parents started pleading in the group chat: "Could we buy a couple more pots? We're willing to pay."
Meanwhile, they were praising the kindergarten frantically on various social media platforms.
Earlier, when other kindergartens tried to imitate Starry Sky Kindergarten by giving out vegetables, it backfired.
They didn't understand why their vegetables didn't receive any praise.
Starry Sky Kindergarten gave out just one pot of seedlings and received so much praise.
They felt bitter, thinking all the good parents were at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Now, all the parents wanted to buy these vegetables.
They had plenty of vegetables.
Because they had only given away about 100 seedlings before, there were still tens of thousands of plants that hadn't been planted in the field.
Qin Shu said, "Let's do this: we'll sell them online for 20 yuan per pot, pickup only."
20 yuan per pot wasn't expensive.
In just three days, the tens of thousands of seedlings were sold out.
Many people bought them without knowing much about them.
It was mainly because parents of students online were raving about them.
Everyone wanted to give it a try. After 10 days, when they started eating them, they suddenly felt they hadn't bought enough.
If only they had known to buy ten or eight pots from the start.
This Starry Sky Kindergarten really had something special going on.
