The process is not complicated, but unfortunately the screening results are often disappointing. Since the number of applicants has remained high for a long time, in previous years the state government only randomly selected a few for assistance. On average, one was selected from hundreds of people. As you can imagine , under such a small probability draw, the one who can be drawn can be described as lucky. In order to develop his small farm as much as possible, with the kind advice of his neighbor James, and with a lottery mentality, Will filled out the form and followed There is no doubt that everyone knows that the chance is extremely low. Although he has submitted a report application, in fact Will himself did not have much hope at all. The reason why he filled out the application was just to try his luck.

result……

A miracle happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as the application was sent out, he received a call from a local agricultural research institute. The other party informed him that some experts would be sent to the farm to conduct on-site inspections in the near future. In order to prevent misunderstandings, the institute also sent the information in advance. Information about the upcoming experts was sent to him via fax along with photos.

Will is delighted!

Unexpectedly, he won the bid for expert assistance that others failed to apply for every year. Not only did he win the bid, the institute also dispatched a large expert working group. With the help of this group of experts, not to mention that he had mastered it. With a certain amount of agricultural knowledge, even if he doesn't understand it at all, he can still make reasonable suggestions and build a basic framework for himself.

The only surprising thing is...

Because the farm is too remote, it would take two days at the earliest for the expert team to arrive. However, who would have thought that only one day had passed before the expert team arrived early.

Although it was a bit unexpected, after comparing the fax photos and confirming the identity of the visitor, Will warmly welcomed the two people in front of him.

………

The question is, when a farmer in urgent need of expert guidance finds out that the expert has arrived early, what will he do?

The standard procedure is to be polite, introduce yourself, and then casually ask about any doubts discovered during the observation.

"Kraken, Will, nice to meet you two."

After shaking hands with the two 'agricultural experts' in front of him, Will glanced at the left and right sides. Although he was still polite, Will still looked suspicious and asked after confirming the number of people present: "Um, I'd like to ask, Miss Cheng, the previous notice given to me by the research institute stated that the inspection team should be 12 people, why..."

Yes, this is what Will is currently concerned about. The experts did come, but they were very different from the notice. The notice clearly stated that this time they would come with an expert working group composed of 12 people. , unexpectedly, there were only two people in front of him?

Faced with the polite question from the man with rice dumplings, Cheng Ying shook her head and denied it: "No, please don't get me wrong, Mr. Will, the plan has not changed. There are indeed 12 of us here this time, but because you are too remote, The working group only came to a general area. As for the specific location of the farm, they are currently searching for it. We were just lucky enough to find the farm in advance.

After saying that, Cheng Ying took out the communicator in front of Will, pressed the digital button, and then said something meaningful: "Team leader, Peng Hu and I are looking for a farm now. Mr. Will is at home. The specific location of the farm is in the southeast of the plain near the forest, and he welcomed the expert working group sent by our ARS Agricultural Research Institute."

At the same time, the scene moved to a thousand meters away. At this moment, in the middle of the high slope, after listening to the notification prompts from the communicator, Cheng Ying took back the communicator. Except for He Fei who nodded slightly if he understood something, the others I also roughly understood the meaning of the girl's words. There is no doubt that if nothing else is said, just from the agricultural research institute and expert working group that the other party deliberately mentioned, it can be easily guessed that Cheng Ying is reminding everyone to use language art to use language arts to get the results they just obtained. Tell everyone the news in a vague way, and remind everyone to be prepared.

It turns out that the curse has arranged the identity of the execution team in advance. It is actually a team of agricultural experts. Let’s not talk about what the so-called expert team does specifically. With this identity, the executors can at least reasonably enter the farm. Thereby coming into contact with the plot character named Will!

However, a new problem appeared in front of everyone, and Zhao Ping was the one who first discovered the problem.

Watching He Fei nodded slightly and everyone suddenly realized, he raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The man with glasses spoke calmly and said first: "The curse has set us an official status in advance. Although it is a bit unexpected, it is still there after all. As expected, with this layer of identity cover, it saves a lot of trouble."

I thought that the man would stop here. However, before He Fei or anyone else could say anything, Zhao Ping suddenly changed his mind and looked up. While scanning the crowd, he spoke in a completely different solemn tone than before. He said a sentence, a sentence that was enough to make everyone present collectively stunned:

"Since the curse has given us an extremely unified identity, we are all agricultural experts responsible for helping Will plan and support the development of the farm. In this case, I have a question for everyone, who among us knows agricultural knowledge? Or rather Who else knows about agricultural research?”

"this……"

The sentences he said were harsh, and the questions at the end were heart-wrenching. As expected, if at the beginning most of the people were thankful that they had gained the identity of being able to reasonably interact with the characters in the plot, then after listening to the questions raised by Zhao Ping, including Everyone, including He Fei, was stunned for a moment. For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then shook their heads in collective embarrassment. It was obvious that there were no agricultural experts among the people present, let alone knowledge of agriculture. Well, they don’t even know how to do the most basic farming. In the real world, Zhao Ping himself is a lawyer who sits in an office all year round, and He Fei is a college student. The work that others do in the real world is also incompatible with agriculture. It is true that It's much easier to do things with the identity given by the curse, but the problem is that if you don't even have the skills required for your personal identity, wouldn't it be revealed quickly? After all, the plot character named Will is waiting for them to help plan and develop the farm!

Ever since, under the glasses man's questioning, everyone was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, one day the executor would be embarrassed by his identity for the first time. For the first time, he was at a loss because his abilities had nothing to do with the assigned identity. Yes! What Zhao Ping said makes sense. Even if everyone has a cover of identity and can reasonably enter the farm and contact the plot characters, please don't forget that the purpose of their coming here is to help Will plan the farm. In any case, they will inevitably involve Agricultural knowledge and even animal husbandry knowledge, as for being fooled? Don't even think about it. The reason is that the other party is not a novice. As a farmer, Will must have a rough understanding of the relevant agricultural knowledge. If you really dare to talk nonsense, if you make a mistake, the truth will be exposed.

Of course, there is a saying that goes well, a living person cannot suffocate to death. No matter how difficult the situation is, there is always a way to deal with it. Just when everyone was thinking about how to deal with it, they seemed to suddenly remember something. Li Tianheng suddenly flashed his head, then turned to Chen Xiaoyao beside him and asked: "Hey, Brother Chen, I thought I heard you say before that when you were in Lushan, you and your master seemed to make a living by farming. Do you make a living by helping people exorcise evil spirits and cure illnesses?"

What do you mean which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted? This is called which pot should not be opened, and the result can be imagined. As soon as Li Tianheng asked the question with hope, everyone present turned their heads and cast their gazes, collectively looking at Chen Xiaoyao. At this moment, feeling the crowd around him Taoist Chen was startled by the gaze he cast on him. He quickly shook his head wildly and denied it: "Damn it, Li Tianheng, you kid can't say that! Yes, I do know how to farm, but so what? I know how to farm." Land does not mean that I am an agricultural expert! A hoe is enough for farming, but the key is that the Americans’ farming methods are different. Let’s not talk about the high-tech farming. Let’s just talk about the selection of farm planning equipment. I don’t understand these things, and since I don’t understand them, how dare I pretend to be fat?”

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoyao's answer, Li Tianheng couldn't help but feel disappointed. Disappointment was a trivial matter. What was really scary was that Chen Xiaoyao's words gave a certain girl an opportunity to take advantage of. Sure enough, Taoist Chen's words trailed off, and he finally seized the opportunity with his dexterity. Already followed closely and sarcastically said: "What did you say? You said you don't have the habit of pretending to be fat? Are you kidding? Have you not done enough of this to pretend to be fat? You are so thick-skinned. Will the guy who is bigger than the city wall pretend to be fat?"

Depend on!

How could Taoist Chen be happy when he saw that poisonous-tongued girl maliciously attacking him? He was about to say something sarcastic, but before the quarrel broke out between the two parties, He Fei in front of the team, who had been bowing his head in deep thought for a long time, suddenly turned around to stop the two of them, then smiled, and said something inexplicable in addition to the smile: "No need to worry, I will solve this problem."

"Eh? Lao He, what do you mean by that?"

"It's being kept secret for now. Okay, now that it's confirmed that the farm ahead is indeed Will's farm, let's go there."

………

10 minutes later, the central residence of Will Farm.

There were many people gathered in the originally empty farm living room, and all the seats and sofas were occupied. At this moment, Will glanced at the all-oriental faces around him, and was stunned. During his daze, his brain suddenly recalled the scene. Something his grandfather once said to him when he was a child:

"Will, the people of country Z are not only hard-working, but all the people of country Z are also masters in agriculture. We in the United States cannot compare."

(It seems that what my grandfather said makes sense. The Agricultural Research Institute actually hired so many people from country Z...)

Of course, surprise is a surprise, emotion is a sigh of relief, but in reality the politeness is necessary. Looking at the group of 'agricultural experts' who came all the way to help me, I saw the young man surnamed He who claimed to be the team leader. Just as he politely extended his right hand, Will suddenly came to his senses. Will quickly regained his smile and extended his hand as well. Then he shook hands and flattered: "Team leader He worked tirelessly to lead the team here. It's hard work. In addition, I would like to thank the institute for its attention and support to the farm. I’m so grateful for that!”

As the saying goes, flattery never wears off its clothes. In fact, compliments are not a specialty of Easterners, and Americans are not much different. Especially intellectuals like Will who have received higher education are extremely concerned about social etiquette. When it comes to compliments, it's a man who has a lot of skills. Seeing that this American with brown hair and blue eyes actually spoke so plausibly, everyone was surprised. However, these are still not the focus, and they are not really surprising. They are really eye-opening for everyone. It was He Fei who turned to shock, or rather the young man who followed him politely.

As soon as Will finished speaking, He Fei smiled slightly, then nodded and responded with a very natural expression: "Mr. Will, there is no need to be polite, we are not actually experts, we are just investigators sent by the institute. , Oh, by the way, there is one thing I want to declare in advance. In order to get the farm back on track as soon as possible, in addition to sending a group of our inspection personnel, the institute also temporarily decided to transport some agricultural equipment to you. However, due to the large size of the equipment, Due to inconvenience, the equipment has not arrived yet, so our work cannot be carried out until the equipment arrives.”

"What? Equipment? There is actually equipment? Oh Mika!"

"When will the equipment arrive?"

"Well, it is initially expected that the shipment will arrive in a week. After the equipment arrives, our work can officially begin."

An unexpected surprise, a real unexpected surprise. As expected, when he heard that the institute, in addition to sending experts, also used equipment to help him build a farm, Will was immediately overjoyed. Obviously, he was lucky enough to be ars He was overjoyed that this kind of scientific research institution was selected as a support target. Who would have thought that the other party would also use additional equipment? What does this mean? There is no doubt that this means that it can help him save a lot of subsequent financial investment. Faced with such news, how can Will not be happy and excited? The man with the rice dumpling hair is happy only secondly. In fact, this is exactly what He Fei is clever about, a deliberate delaying strategy!

Don’t the executors know nothing about agriculture? It was easy to handle. First, he used his status as an expert to deliberately inform the other institute that the equipment was about to be delivered, and then delayed the work on the grounds that the equipment had not arrived. As a result, the college student easily found a reasonable excuse for everyone not to work within 7 days.

As for whether the other party is suspicious?

Don't worry at all. Don't forget that the identity of the executor as an 'agricultural expert' was given by the curse himself, which is almost equivalent to an official identity. Since the identity is true and there is no doubt that it is false, then it will be natural for him to lie through this official identity.

It turns out that what He Fei meant before when he said he could solve this matter!

Has the problem been solved? Of course it's solved, but the solution is a bit...

This is deception, typical strategic deception!
