Lin Chen had just finished answering the audience's questions about the bananas. He hadn't walked more than a few hundred meters when he stopped again. He stared uncertainly at a dense patch of plants in a clearing in the forest ahead, taking a few extra looks.
He couldn't help but be puzzled. The main reason was that this patch of plants was incredibly dense. Their leaves were broad, their stalks were tall and straight, and their tops were covered in flowers that resembled morning glories. These features immediately triggered the information from the botanical encyclopedia in his mind.
To verify his guess, he deliberately walked closer for a look.
As he got closer, a faint, pungent odor drifted through the air, tinged with a hint of bitterness.
The moment he smelled it, he didn't need to investigate any further. He was already one hundred percent certain of the true identity of the plants before him.
Tobacco!
That's right, the raw material used to make cigarettes.
