At the National University of Singapore (NUS), one of Asia's top universities, an ordinary avocado ornament has unexpectedly become a land god!
Build a house for avocados
At the beginning of March, this pendant was just picked up by a kind classmate and placed under a lamppost, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Soon after, things started to get interesting, and an architecture student actually built a miniature house for it!

Then, a small sword was added to the house, and two more Lego figures were added to the front of the house as doormen.
Just like Guan Gong God statue standing next to Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, this NUS "Avocado God" also has its own "left and right protectors", Guan Gong is holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and this avocado God is holding the "Golden Sword".
With the blessings of these "magic weapons", this hut already has the prototype of the "Land Temple".

This "land temple" is close to the Department of Architecture, and everyone is talking about how talented the students of the Department of Architecture are.
土地庙还有自己的“匾额”，上面用英文写着写着“祝你好运并取得好成绩”（Wish You Good Luck & Good GPA)。
Some students began to worship the god of the land, wishing them success in their experiments, graduation and so on.
In addition to the "plaque" at the beginning, a solitaire with the words "multiple papers, early graduation" was later added as the "inscription" of the land temple.
The classmates began to half-jokingly say, "College students can do anything except finish their homework." ”

Some people also ridiculed that it is normal to have no students at the end of the semester.
The avocado is on fire! The incense is in full bloom
The avocado god soon had its own mini-shrine, and the building became more and more "grandiose", and students even began to offer small snacks and other small items to it, which can be described as "incense flourishing".

For highly educated college students, worshipping gods may come across as feudal superstition, but avocado worship is acceptable.
The students were worried that it might be lonely, so they gave it a bear girlfriend in the back.
In addition to snacks and drinks, some people tossed coins in the hope that their wishes would come true.

Slowly, the place formed a whole small temple and also turned into a check-in hotspot.

The school sent someone to clean it up
As more and more offerings grew, the place eventually attracted too many ants, and the school also arranged for personnel to clean up on the spot.

In the first few cases, it was just to clean up the offerings, but in the end, for unknown reasons, even the god of avocados was cleaned up by the school.

Avocado land god returns
NUS students quickly solved the problem, and one of them used 3D printing technology to welcome the avocado land god back.

After the avocado god returned to his throne, someone left a message saying that although his body was gone, his soul was still there.
Some people also joked that they still have time to do these things when they are so busy with exams.
Some netizens boldly predicted that someone would help color this new avocado god in the future.
The story of the avocado god is not only widely spread in NUS, but also among students of Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Some netizens posted that she saw a bear sticking to the pillar in NTU, so she made a wish to the bear, and since then NTU has its own land god.
