"So, we have an additional consultant and foreign aid, right?" After Allen left, Anneli looked at the information sheet in her hand repeatedly, a little incredible.
After a period of negotiation, Ya Lian became half a member of the club. Why do I say half? It’s because he usually doesn’t come to participate in activities because he has to focus on his own research. However, if the club needs help in any way, , he will also provide help and serve as a consultant to the society.
"That's not bad. In fact, I also like the members to be more relaxed, and don't have to delay their own affairs just to join the group." Tilan drank the cool scented tea, and then looked at the six seeds left on the table.
Purple Pomegranate Seeds [Indigo Pomegranate Level] are seeds that can grow extraordinary plants, but have strict requirements on the growth environment. If cultivated properly, they can produce a fruit with extraordinary effects, 'Indigo Pomegranate'.
After receiving Tilan's teaching, in return, Allen also left a gift in return, which was these six seeds.
"Although this kind of purple pomegranate tree is very small and does not occupy a large area, it requires a very stable Aijaka particle (magic) environment. If the magic power fluctuates in the middle, or is interfered by other factors, the quality of the fruit will be greatly affected. If it declines, it will probably only produce copper-level 'indigo pomegranates.'" After checking the information, the girl tilted her head and looked at the seeds in front of her.
"If it is a low-concentration magic environment, its growth rate is extremely slow, and it may take decades to take shape. If it is a high-concentration magic environment, the highly active magic power can easily cause other mutations and lead to environmental changes. .”
“The database in the Grand Library shows that if you want to plant, you need to clear the soil and other organisms in the environment before creating a suitable environment, such as fungi, weeds, insect eggs, etc.”
"And we have to make sure that these things don't interfere with the growth."
"That means we need a sterile environment." Anneli came to the girl and looked at the six seeds.
"That's true, but these are only the most basic conditions. The important thing is that it can grow with the afterglow of the sunset."
"Because this extraordinary fruit of the purple pomegranate is meant to precipitate the afterglow of the sunset and form a special 'concept'."
The reason why these words are used to describe Ayaka particles and their effects are extraordinary, magic, and magic. It is because these extraordinary abilities and effects do not follow scientific laws, but follow 'conceptual' laws.
'Concept' is some kind of imaginary product that spiritual will sublimates from real things. Although it does not really exist, it really affects the relationship between lives, such as 'friends', 'country', 'loyalty' 'Beauty' and so on, these concepts often do not exist alone, but are combined with various things.
The most common one is the worship of celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, stars, etc. In the innate myths of peoples around the world, the eternally burning sun in the sky is so magical and special, and of course it has been entrusted with many imaginary concepts, such as 'powerful' 'burning' 'blazing' etc.
For this reason, many extraordinary fruits, creatures, minerals, etc. that enhance personal strength are all related to the 'sun'.
This condensed fruit of purple pomegranate is also taken from the milder sunset afterglow part of the concept of 'sun', which is absorbed and solidified to form a special magic power. In this way, it also has the concept of making life 'powerful'.
The condensation of magic power is the condensation of concepts.
The scattered magic power is very weak and interferes with each other. If you want to condense it, you must rely on a certain concept.
In addition to the sun, people's understanding of some animals in primitive life has also formed certain concepts, such as 'lion' and 'venomous snake'. 'Lion' is often associated with 'powerful', 'ferocious', etc. Poisonous snakes are often associated with "venom" and "cunning", and even secondary concepts are derived from them, such as "lion" corresponding to "king", "snake" corresponding to "wisdom" and so on.
If you want to make extraordinary potions that make people charming and regal, then you probably need to find some materials related to the extraction of lion beasts. Similarly, if you want to temporarily become quick-thinking, then use materials from snake-like beasts. It’s also indispensable.
However, nature is also rich. In addition to lions and snakes, there are also many similar concepts, such as 'elephant' and 'goshawk'. In the myths of some areas, elephants are powerful and goshawks are wise, so It can also produce corresponding effects.
The concept of 'powerful' is a lock, but there are many keys that can open it, such as 'sun', 'lion', 'elephant', etc. Among them, 'sun' and 'powerful' are the most consistent and unquestionable ones. The strongest effect.
Without life, Ayaka particles are just like ordinary dust and will not change anything in the world.
But because of the emergence of life, the birth of thinking, imagination, fantasy, etc., Ayaka particles have the possibility to change everything.
It is an excellent medium to project what is imagined in the mind into reality and make it happen.
The mind and imagination can interfere with reality, which is the origin of all transcendence.
However, the Ayaka particles are weak, and simple imagination can hardly detect any changes, nor can it drive anything to change.
So, if thousands of Ayaka particles are gathered together, arranged neatly, and driven by the same ideological spirit, will it be possible?
Yes, this is the first step to form the extraordinary core, which is to gather enough Ayaka particles (magic power) and arrange them according to unified rules to form a stable structure, so that they can be called at any time.
However, such a transcendent core is still very primitive, its driving ability is not strong, and its efficiency is low. Therefore, in order to focus on a certain field, life begins to specialize its own Ajika particles (magic power), thus forming different transcendent sequences.
From the most primitive original sequence, it continued to evolve and improve, and finally formed the nine natural sequences, the cutting blade sequence, the light feather sequence, the spirit child sequence, the dragon sequence, the withering sequence, the tidal sequence, the blood pupil sequence, and the original sequence. species, each with its own characteristics and strengths.
After selecting the sequence, it was not enough. In order to further enhance the driving force of magic in certain areas, the extraordinary person continued to specialize his core structure and condensed it into different imprinting patterns. These imprinting patterns allowed the extraordinary person to use extremely powerful Interfere with certain concepts and fields in powerful and efficient ways to form different skills and abilities, such as 'fire', 'solidity', 'water flow', 'atmosphere', etc. High-level extraordinary cores can also build more abstract concept imprints, For example, 'travel', 'memory', 'time', 'dream', etc.
Back to the main story, if you want to cultivate these six purple pomegranate seeds, the afterglow of the sunset is essential, but this part is unpredictable.
The same seeds are all taken care of in the same way, and they are all placed together to receive the afterglow of the setting sun, but the fruits they produce have different qualities. This uncertainty is the biggest factor restricting the birth of this rare and extraordinary fruit. .
"According to the current information in the big library, the best method at present is to cultivate it uniformly and on a large scale, and then after harvesting the fruits, classify the fruits according to high and low quality." Anneli looked at the information on the projection screen on the desk , said.
"The probability is a bit low. Only about 200-300 plants can have a high-quality 'Indigo Pomegranate', and most of the others are copper-grade 'Indigo Pomegranate'." Tilan glanced at the data below.
Anneli curled her lips: "It turns out that Allen is perfunctory with us."
"Probably not. He said that this is a variety that he has been researching and improving recently, and the yield rate is much higher than those on the market." Tilan shook her head.
"Let's plant them first. If it doesn't work, just treat them as ornamental plants in the club activity room." The girl laughed again. She originally wanted to buy potted plants before, but now she just doesn't want them.
If there are no expectations, there will be no disappointment, and there is no expectation that high-quality fruits will be produced. Even if they are low-quality, it is good to let the members and themselves taste the taste.
After experiencing many things, Tilan has now looked away from many things and no longer deliberately pursues the so-called best, first, perfection, etc.
Being able to live a good life without any grievance or torture is already the greatest happiness. Why add unnecessary troubles to yourself? Isn’t the meal tonight delicious? Isn’t the bed uncomfortable? Isn’t the game fun? Aren’t the animals cute? Isn’t the place you’re going to go to tomorrow interesting? Life should be very easy and comfortable after leaving behind many self-imposed shackles.
When a person becomes perseverant, it is most likely that she has received a lot of positive feedback, and the process is not uncomfortable. If you make yourself miserable in order to persist in something, that thing is destined to not last long.
They found six flower pots, sterilized them first, planted the seeds, and put them in special glass covers. The two of them placed the flower pots on the window sill of the activity room.
"If you cultivate it in the simplest and most basic way, you won't lose if it grows out." Anneli said to Tilan.
The recruitment is still going on, and we don’t know who the next new member will be.
——————
At night, the water rat area module in South District 1.
The steel-style hover car stopped at the entrance of the alley, its lights flashing slowly, illuminating the figure at the end of the alley.
The coat and clothes on his body were very torn and messy, mixed with dried blood, burnt edges, water stains, dust, dust, etc., and dark red wounds could be vaguely seen in the damaged areas.
Although the laser can penetrate the flesh, the advantage is that the wound burned by the high temperature will be cooked instantly and will not cause any infection. This sounds like some kind of hell joke, but in this situation with no retreat, he can only think This kind of joke can relieve your tense nerves.
Greed took a deep breath, activated the extraordinary core in his body, and temporarily suppressed the pain coming from his body's limbs. Then he clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, raised his gaze, and looked at the burly man who was walking towards him step by step.
With short gray hair, a square face, and almost solid muscles and body, this man seemed to be made of steel. He was still wearing a large windbreaker in the hot summer. At this time, he was holding a smoking and cooling laser gun in one hand and another in the other. The hand moved slightly, and the thick knuckles made a sound of bones colliding.
After arriving five meters in front of Greed, the man stopped and stood still, looking at the young man who had no way to escape and spoke slowly.
"Where did you take your stuff?"
"Things? What do you mean, your thing?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Greed's mouth.
Hearing this meaningless ridicule, the man's cold expression did not change and he just repeated it again.
"You know what I'm talking about. Let me ask you again, where did you put it?"
"What will happen if I don't tell you?"
"I'll let you speak." His voice was still so steady and unshakable.
"Tsk, it's really scary, haha." Although Greed mocked, his hind legs were really shaking slightly. After all, the man in front of him could indeed do it.
'Iron-B7300' is the codename of this burly man. No one knows his real name, but this codename often appears in the underground world of South District 1. He acts ruthlessly and will accept even extremely dangerous tasks. With a very high completion rate, he is now highly valued and is only employed by some large companies.
After running through several thoughts and ideas in his mind, Greed finally calmed down. His pupils shrank, then he kicked forward quickly with his heels and sprang out like a black wolf.
The hilt of the sword behind his back was suddenly swung, and the bright blue lightsaber burst out. The violent flow of particles reflected the alleyway white, and Greed himself was also illuminated by this dazzling lightsaber, and small patches appeared in his sight. Blind spots.
The powerful lightsaber slashed down the burly man's head. Violent sparks and harsh sounds exploded like firecrackers. After one strike, Greed didn't have time to take a closer look at the opponent's injuries, but rushed towards the alley without looking back. , trying to leave here quickly.
However, just when he thought this man was not dead but seriously injured, a ruthless iron hand stretched out from the exploding sparks and dazzling blind spots, grabbed Grid's shoulder, and seemed to tear him in half and pull him, He forced Greed back and then threw him directly against the wall.
The back of his head hit the wall, and Grid was briefly dizzy. His body slid down the wall like a rag and rolled several times on the ground, covered in dust.
Holding back the severe pain, Greed woke up and propped himself on the ground again, trying to grab the hilt of the lightsaber and continue to resist.
A foot wearing an iron-colored boot stepped down directly, and then turned hard, crushing his hand bones and sword hilt, and twisting the bones.
"Uh-ah-" Grid clutched the wrist that could not be pulled out, and Grid twisted in pain on the ground, his body arched like a prawn, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Then, a pair of iron-like hands grabbed him and pressed him against the wall.
"Where did you take that thing?" The burly man continued to ask. The pupil in one of his eyes kept dilating and shrinking, as if he was testing the authenticity of Greed's answer.
"I... I'm hiding... ahem... Why should I tell you... I said before that if I get the secret of the 'Three Pointers Workshop', I will be given appropriate remuneration... As a result... is this the reward? ...Ahem."
"What you handed over is not worthy of that kind of reward."
"That's enough, do you think I'm a child! If I hand over everything and you don't give me a penny, can I still sue you!?"
"You have received the first payment, otherwise you would not be able to purchase these equipment." Codename 'Iron-B7300' pointed to the broken lightsaber hilt at his feet.
Although he was struck by the lightsaber, only his coat was damaged. The real subcutaneous muscles were made of high-strength alloy fibers and were not ordinary flesh and blood.
Such a body will not be easily split open by the slash of the lightsaber, but a long hole one centimeter deep will be opened on the surface.
"When making the second payment, the verification of the information you gave failed. The company judged that you did not reveal the truth but were perfunctory, so it issued a warning to you."
"But you ignored it and continued to ask for it, saying that you would only give out the key things after you got the money."
"Before, Edes Academy blocked it for you for a while. You didn't realize how precious this opportunity is, and you actually wanted to use it to bargain with the company." As he spoke, there seemed to be mockery in his eyes, mocking Gray. Virtue's innocence and childishness.
"You don't understand the rules of South District 1. Such behavior is not allowed. The company will not accept threats or recognize changes in the agreement midway."
"So, they asked me to come."
"Let me ask you again, where did you put your stuff? The 'Three Pointers Factory' started martial law after your actions and announced the suspension of new product development. Even if the stock price plummeted, they did not change their minds."
"This is unreasonable and shows that they have indeed lost something important."
"So let me ask you one last time, where did you put your stuff?"
As the words fell, the black muzzle of a gun slowly came into Greed's eyes. He could even feel the hot and hard barrel pressing against his bones on his cheek.
"I...I..." Greed spoke quickly, as if he couldn't breathe, but in the end he kicked hard towards the burly man in front of him.
"I'm not a wild dog!"
There was anger and fear in his voice. While roaring and howling, he also exposed his own despair and vulnerability.
However, instead of reversing the situation after roaring like the legendary hero, the young man in black shirt was directly held by his leg, lifted up and thrown to the ground with force, and passed out.
The roaring voice just now stopped suddenly, and the alley became quiet.
