After the exam, Po Li searched around the designated area for the Gan couple but couldn’t find them. He guessed they might still be inside, so he sat down at a random spot to wait.
One by one, people began to exit the exam room, and it wasn’t until the bell signaling the end of the exam rang that Po Li finally spotted the Gan couple.
Mrs. Gan looked a bit down, while Gan Xia appeared quite relaxed.
As soon as Gan Xia came out, he asked Po Li, “How’d it go? Did you know the answers to the exam?”
“I’m fine. I’ve worked in gardening before, so I knew that. For the animals, I wrote about raising brine shrimp. How about you?”
“I’m alright. I used to work at a zoo, so I know quite a bit about raising animals. As for the plants, I was a bit lost, but I managed to make something up. As for my wife, she’s always worked as a nanny, taking care of children. She has no experience with plants, but I heard she wrote about raising kids and her experience with brine shrimp, so she should still pass.”
Po Li looked at Gan Lin’s mother, who was still a little overwhelmed, and comforted her.
“It’s okay, sister-in-law. I left early and overheard them discussing it. A lot of people haven’t encountered this kind of knowledge before, and everyone is unaware. There are many who didn’t even answer the questions, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“You’re so good with words. My husband wouldn’t even know how to comfort anyone.”
…
While people were discussing the questions on the exam, on the other side, government workers had already collected the papers and were sending them to the information room to begin scanning.
They needed to scan all the papers into the Star Network within two days and select the best 1,000 to send to the biological breeding base.
Although the planet had billions of people, most were working outside, there were still many who came to apply after seeing the announcement, so the workload was quite heavy.
All levels of the government on Poyang Star, except for the necessary personnel, were involved in grading the papers.
First, they filtered out all the blank papers and those that were obviously failing. This eliminated more than half of the papers. Then, they examined the specific answers. Those that were clearly made up were directly rejected. The relevant ones were scanned and compared with the biological database provided by the research institute.
All workers worked overtime to finish the task within two days. If it weren’t for the rewards promised by the higher-ups for everyone involved, they wouldn’t have worked so hard.
Lin Huanyan had barely a couple of days to rest before getting busy again.
The next batch of products for sale had already begun to be collected and packaged, and Lin Huanyan was there overseeing everything.
Soon, the exam papers sent by the imperial government from every planet arrived, waiting for her to arrange them.
She had no choice but to enlist the interns at the base and Gu Yinchen to help grade the papers.
This time, they were recruiting 3,000 employees, so they had to choose 9,000 out of the tens of thousands of papers sent from several dozen planets.
Then, in the interviews, they would select one-third of the people as hired employees.
Since Lin Huanyan learned that her ability was related to biology, she had been quickly catching up on interstellar biological knowledge. With her high intelligence and sharp memory, she could remember everything she read clearly.
So, her speed in grading papers was very fast, almost ten seconds per paper.
“Eh?”
Lin Huanyan suddenly stopped. She had found an unusual paper.
The person wasn’t very knowledgeable about plants, only writing down what they knew, but it was very limited. However, they wrote something interesting about animals.
They wrote about two species, one was the Artemia (brine shrimp) that her shop had sold before, and the description was detailed and accurate. The other was surprisingly about human children.
However, humans are indeed a type of animal, so it wasn’t wrong.
Lin Huanyan, intrigued, continued reading. She discovered that this person had written in great detail, stating that they were from Poyang Star, known as the “working planet,” and had always been liked by young children. Regardless of whether the children were familiar or not, they always liked her.
So, when she grew up, she decided to apply for the position of a children’s nanny, a job she had been doing for over ten years without a single bad review. If it weren’t for her low mental strength, she would have already become a gold medal nanny.
Lin Huanyan thought for a moment and concluded that this situation might be similar to hers. The person may have the potential to develop abilities but, due to other factors, could not fully develop them.
This caused the ability energy to be unable to store within the body and instead leaked out, resulting in some special situations.
After thinking about this, she highlighted this person and placed them in the pile for acceptance.
Then she continued grading papers and came across two more special papers.
One person seemed to know a lot about plants, answering in great detail. Lin Huanyan gave them a full score for the plant section. As for animals, the person wasn’t very knowledgeable, but they were a user of Artemia.
Not only did they describe the breeding situation of Artemia in great detail, but they also wrote about their own personal experience, which was a case different from laboratory experiments, making it highly valuable for reference.
So, Lin Huanyan gave them a near-perfect score.
The other paper was the complete opposite. The person claimed to have worked at a zoo and had extensive knowledge of animals, answering well enough to get a full score.
For plants, it was clear they were clueless, but mysteriously, this person’s luck was extraordinary.
In the plant section, they listed four or five plants, writing about them somewhat randomly, yet miraculously, many of their answers were correct.
Lin Huanyan calculated the points and found that they scored quite well.
It should be noted that these were short-answer questions, and Lin Huanyan herself had never guessed the answers right. It was almost impossible to randomly get them right.
But this person, despite clearly guessing, somehow got the answers right. It was quite miraculous.
Lin Huanyan couldn’t stop someone’s good luck, and she had always believed that luck was part of skill, so she still awarded points according to the rules.
In the midst of such busy work, the second batch of products from Lin’s shop went live.
Since the recruitment of planting and breeding personnel was not yet complete, the quantity of products this time was slightly more than the first batch, but still not enough for the vast interstellar population.
After the countdown for the product release and sale, Lin Huanyan, during a break from grading papers, took some time to browse through the forums.
However, to her disappointment, there was hardly any discussion about the product sale in the once-popular Lin Jia Shop’s posts.
Feeling a bit let down, she didn’t feel like checking out other forums either and closed her smart brain, returning to her papers.
Hmm, this paper really is quite balanced— the plant section is somewhat good, and the animal section is also decent.
Just as she was about to start grading, a loud shout suddenly startled her, making her jump and almost knock over the cup on the desk.
It was Zhang Qianqian, who ran over with a beaming face, her round apple-like face flushed, making her look even more like an apple.
“Professor Lin, Professor Lin, it’s sold out, it’s sold out!”
“Stop, stop, stop. Come on, take a breath first and then tell me.”
Lin Huanyan waited for her to catch her breath before asking again.
“What do you mean it’s sold out, sold out? What’s sold out?”
“Our products, all the products from Lin Jia Puzi, they sold out in less than ten seconds after going live.”
Lin Huanyan had been listening calmly, but now she was shocked.
“Really sold out?”
“I swear I’m not lying, Yan Yan, it’s really sold out. You can check it yourself in the backend.”
Lin Huanyan immediately accessed her smart brain, logged into her account on Kaka Network, and checked the backend. Indeed, all the products were marked as sold out.
“Wow, it really is…”
Lin Huanyan murmured to herself and then remembered something. She quickly reopened the forum she had checked earlier.
Scrolling through the Lin Jia Puzi post, she noticed that within just a little while, the number of comments had already increased by thousands. She couldn’t even keep up with all the new ones popping up every time she refreshed.
Finally, she scrolled to the top and started reading from there. The first comment stood out.
Little Dumpling: [Waaahhh, I’m crying, I didn’t get to buy it. I clicked in and it was already gone.]
Old Man, Not Aunt: [Me too, it’s heartbreaking, I was just about to pay and it was gone.]
Formerly Known as Happy Everyday: [No, I think I’m the most tragic. I was waiting for an hour in advance, sitting in front of the store in holographic mode, but couldn’t get in. So sad. Male tears.jpg]
Xiao Ming: [Spinning around in happiness.jpg, humanity’s joys and sorrows are not shared, I got it, hahahahaha.]
Mech Master 111: [Wasn’t it not this hot last time? I still managed to buy it the next day. This time, I went to the bathroom for a moment and it was gone.]
Silly Kid: [Last time was different. Back then, no one knew much and was hesitant to buy. But now that so many people used it and spread the word, everyone in our office is scrambling to buy.]
Second-Hand Dealer: [High price offer for watermelon, bowl lotus, and brine shrimp, price negotiable, absolutely high offer!]
Xi Xi: [The product is indeed great. I bought a bowl lotus for my mom last time. It’s growing well, and the headache she always had has been much alleviated. This time, I wanted to grab the watermelon, but I couldn’t get it.]
Ricky Star Tycoon: [To be honest, watermelon is forever the best! Oh, by the way, I also buy products, limited to watermelon. Price negotiable, check my nickname, not lying.]
…
There were many more below, but Lin Huanyan didn’t read them all. Just these few comments were enough to show the immense popularity of Lin Jia Puzi.
The reason there was no news during the countdown was because everyone was busy waiting in the store to grab the products.
Lin Huanyan felt both happy and proud. She had been working hard on these, and although she knew the products were great, these genuine comments were even more rewarding.
Lin Huanyan felt a bit pleased and proud. These were products from her hometown, Earth, and she had personally cultivated them.
The atmosphere in the makeshift grading room grew lively. These interns had chosen to come here for the achievement, and now that the company was doing well, their futures looked even brighter.
Many of them secretly checked the forum until someone reminded them to focus on their work, and they returned to grading papers.
Though they were exhausted from grading, they were also smiling inside.
