Infrastructure starts from the game

March is low season for tourism in Cecilia.

The guests of the Holy Ghost Festival have already returned home. Although the Adventurer Hotel has been open for thousands of years, because there are not many guests, the buffet breakfast provided in the peak season has been canceled, so that the storefront of the hotel is always empty during the day. In the evening, regular customers from nearby come to the store to drink a few glasses of ale to reward the hard work of the day.

Isin, the hostess of the hotel, also relaxes because of this.

She can finally participate in Magic Gear activities not as a waiter, but as a player.

At this moment, Isin and her best friend Hana are tossing the seeds of magic gears in the hotel yard.

However, the two girls who grew up in the city had never planted before, and they didn't even know the basic steps, so they simply bought a set of planting kits in addition to the seeds. The size of the planting bag is also quite large, so it took Hana half a day to take it apart.

"Aren't you too clumsy? You are still a tailor!" Isin complained.

Hana heheed twice.

If Isin had said that about her before, she would have bitten off a piece of the opponent's flesh, but after making clothes for various guests during the winter vacation, Hana is now as calm as water, and she doesn't take this idiot with five fighting strengths at all. X's best friend is serious.

"But there are so many things!" Isin looked at the manual and compared it with the real thing: "Let me see: first put small stones on the bottom, add water to moisten them, and then put them in dark nutrient soil...there is still nutrition here. The process of making soil..."

Hana ignored Isin's narration, she was driving the Magic Network!

Magic Gear has specially created a planting interface for this planting festival, and Hana just needs to follow it.

Under the command of the interface, Hana poured the pebbles into the flowerpot, added water to wet the pebbles, placed dark nutrient soil, then put seeds in the middle, and spread a thin layer of light-colored soil. Nutrient soil, and then spread a layer of ground moss, and then poured business liquid, complete.

"Is it necessary to lay ground moss when planting flowers? I always thought they grew in pots by themselves!" Hana pondered.

"It is said that ground moss can provide nutrition." Isin said casually.

She threw away the instruction manual and looked at Hana's flower pot: "Is it finished? Then give me this pot."

"You did it yourself!" Hana said angrily.

"No, it will dirty your hands." Isin showed Hana his hands, "I just did my nails."

"Then don't grow it!" Hana gritted her teeth.

"Hana, please!" Isin said coquettishly, "And that flower pot is lonely, it's boring for you to plant. I have a pair of flower pots here, which are very suitable for you and your boyfriend! If you buy it, I will You can get [-]% off."

Only [-]% off?

Hana laughed angrily.

This girlfriend is not as plastic as the first day.

Hana asked, "Why don't you use that kind of flowerpot with your boyfriend?"

"He went back to Sensenata."

"Hmph, then why are you still planting flowers? Isn't there no one watching?" Hana sarcastically said.

"Ryder will see... ah, Ryder is a new guest living here, five years younger than me, very innocent, looks like the type of innocent girl who also likes to grow flowers." Issing explained road.

Hana didn't sound right: "Wait a minute, you broke up with your... ex-boyfriend?"

"It's disgusting, why curse others!"

"Then this is for fun now..."

"No, this one is thinking about getting married, that one is just for fun," Issin said sweetly, looking at his nails, "Just like you said before, simply being rich is not enough, that one is too old, and it is impossible to get married. My family will run the hotel, but it is impossible for me to give up the hotel to my younger brother, my wife has been used for so many years, she must get the right to inherit the hotel, so I must choose a suitable groom."

...Why do I have girlfriends with this kind of guy?

Hana picked up her flower pot: "In that case, work hard! Excuse me."

"Wait……"

"Are you going to participate in the Magic Gear event?"

A voice interrupts Isin and Hana's double talk.

But there were only voices, but no one was seen.

The two girls looked carefully, only to find that there was a little elf floating in mid-air, looking curiously at Hana's flower pot.

Isin showed a commercial smile to the little goblin: "Guest, you just said 'also', do you want to participate too?"

"Well, I want a flowerpot," replied the goblin.

There are flower pots in the planting bag, but the goblin obviously doesn't need such considerate and foolish service, so he only bought the seeds back.

Issing immediately showed a friendly smile: "We provide all kinds of flowerpots here, including glazed ones, ceramic ones, purple pottery ones, and..."

"We want the cheapest one!" The goblin tightly gripped the small purse.

Isin's smile didn't change because of this: "Then it's just tiles."

She took out the "flower pot".

Because it is the cheapest "flower pot", it is indeed relatively simple, but the volume inside is large enough, and the gaps on the top are also permeable enough. Although the material is old, it is strong enough, and it is enough for a goblin.

The goblin nodded in satisfaction: "I want this."

It bought more than a dozen in one go, and flew away on top of its little head.

After its figure disappeared, Hana said: "Profit merchant, you obviously picked up those tiles from the ruins outside the city, right?"

"I can't help it. Master Mage is too disrespectful in organizing this event. He didn't even notify us first, which made it impossible for us to buy flower pots temporarily. It's because I'm smart that I can think of those broken tiles outside." Isin said proudly.

Obviously, like fairies, there are quite a few who only buy seeds.

Hotel tiles are sold out a lot.

Hana didn't bother to complain about her, she just felt a little sighed: "But there are more and more foreign guests in the city! Before, I only heard about them in adventure stories."

"That's true," Issin deeply agreed, but she immediately gossiped with Hana, "However, the group of guests with the goblin is a bit different, weird."

"weird?"

"You go and see for yourself?"

Isin dragged Hana to the corner of the yard, from where he happened to see the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the tavern, and there were several creatures sitting there, including an old man in a green robe, a beautiful elf, a petite elf, a snow tribe, and a centaur.

There is no doubt that this is a very strange combination, even in the age of magic.

But what the two girls don't know is that their peeping is also very strange for this combination.

"There are two female humans spying here." Centaur said.

"Don't mind, little human girls are always full of curiosity." The elf lady said with a smile.

"That's right! When I went to buy flowerpots, they were also planting the seeds of magic gears. They looked like novices at first glance, and their methods were very rough. It was a waste of soil and seeds." The goblin complained in disgust.

The elf corrected her prejudice with a wry smile—but obviously she was not optimistic about it: "It's not going to be wasted. These are the seeds of the heart grass, which are very easy to plant, and basically there is no possibility of raising them to death."

"Follow your heart?"

It was A Rong, the patriarch of the Snow Clan, who asked this question.

He's a beauty made of ice, literally.

The Snow Clan's skin is white snow, and their hair is solid ice. Judging by their appearance, they can only live in extremely cold regions. Without powerful magic power to maintain their bodies, they cannot move at normal temperatures. Naturally, they don't know much about plants.

The elf explained to him: "A magic plant."

"This kind of plant has no fixed shape. It will only grow according to the wishes of the animals with the most contact, and grow into the plant that the other party is most looking forward to, luring the other party to eat their own seeds to help spread."

"Very cunning grass." Sagittarius commented.

"Very perverted grass." The Snow Clan commented.

Centaur and Snow Clan glanced at each other, expressing that they did not understand what the other was thinking.

"Does this grass have any special function?" Green Sage asked thoughtfully.

"You don't know either?" The Snow Clan was a little surprised.

The green sage showed a disgusted expression, and was obviously always asked this way: "I am a wood element envoy, not a farmer. If I have nothing to do, I will not study every plant. I will only select a few useful plants as the main research objects."

"So, why do you humans always care about the use of a thing?" The little goblin complained: "Isn't it purely for fun? The grass is very fun!"

Greensage knows how to deal with such goblins.

He said: "But Angel Cecilia is a human being, and he must be concerned about the function of this grass."

When hearing that name, all the aliens present shuddered.

"I hate the custom of you humans always taking a name," the centaur muttered, "The fate will be affected by the name."

The green sage smiled without saying a word.

In fact, when he heard the name "Angel Cecilia", he also murmured in his heart.

The owner of this name is too famous, it is a page in the history book that cannot be bypassed, but he is always appearing in the cracks of history, and it seems that he may appear in front of his eyes at any time.

Because of this, the Green Sage couldn't leave "this time" Angel alone.

After Angor left Academy City, Green Sage handed over his work to Purple Sage, and secretly came to the Magic City. He wanted to observe Angor's daily life, but he did not expect to meet him at the hotel. A foreign race with the same purpose as him.

So they jointly established the "Black Robe Observation Group".

As the first subject of the "observation group", this "Planting Festival" hosted by Angor was the first topic.

But the content confuses them.

Ms. Elf explained: "Although the magical properties of the heart grass are very interesting, it has no effect. It is non-toxic and harmless, but it does not have any nutrients. Even if it can grow into edible plants such as strawberries and wheat ears, it is just They are similar in shape, and even the magic element is very weak, containing only a small amount of spiritual magic element."

"So, why does Cecilia grow weeds?" Greensage asked.

"Maybe he discovered the special effect of the Heart Grass?" The Snow Clan guessed.

"I saw the brilliance of the stars on the grass seeds." Centaur closed his eyes and said.

The other "people" turned their heads to look at the horses and horses, but did not speak.

Anyway, if you ask, you will only get more inexplicable answers.

Sagittarius has always had this kind of virtue.

"Anyway, you can tell just by looking at it!?" the goblin said with her hands on her hips.

"That's the reason." The elf nodded.

The goblin immediately picked up the seeds: "Let me show you the goblin's planting skills."

"Please wait," the centaur said, picking up the planting instructions, "You forgot to take this."

The goblin proudly puffed up her little chest: "Huh, we goblins don't need humans to guide planting. That kind of thing is obviously for those little human girls who don't understand anything! ——However, I don't think it's okay to have this Yes. It’s not that they will be raised to death, but that they won’t grow any more. From this point of view, human beings are more capricious than us elves!”

"It is!"

All the alien races present nodded and sentenced the two girls to death without authorization.

In this way, a week later, Heipao received a total of [-] pots of Spurs.

If repeated planting is not counted, one out of 100 people in Cecilia's population of 20 million participated in this event.

"There are more idlers in this world than I imagined!"

Even though it was caused by Angel himself, he still couldn't help complaining.

Fortunately, he was already planting ground moss, and there were enough materials. There was no shortage of materials this time, and not all the participants were as lazy as the pair of plastic girlfriends, willing From the collection of nutrient soil, there are many guys who do DIY by themselves. This kind of guy who brings his own rations just offsets the type that will waste materials.

That's right, it's a little fairy.

"That black robe is cheating!" The little goblin was so angry that she was about to cry.

It has planted dozens of pots of Heart Grass, and at best was forced to buy a magic gear planting bag, and all of them died.

The little goblin felt that his dignity as a goblin had been insulted: "He tampered with the seeds! He intentionally prevented others from planting them successfully, woohoo!"

"It's not wrong for you to say that." The green sage said, "This batch of seeds has been specially refined, and they must be planted in strict accordance with the planting steps required by him, otherwise they will die no matter what method is used."

"You didn't say it earlier!" the little goblin yelled.

Green Sage coughed twice.

He just discovered it, because the seeds that Green Sage used his "special technique" also died. Not only that, but the elf lady and Mr. Centaur who were also good at planting also failed miserably.

Now the only one in this team who has planted living flower seedlings is the Snow Tribe who has never sown any plants.

The flower seedlings of the Snow tribe are also particularly beautiful.

This flower seedling is like the snow family, showing a white color, but the branches are pulled out like coral, with various shapes of snowflakes hanging on it, none of which are the same.

"Sir, the flowers you planted are so beautiful!" Isin praised casually as he passed by.

She was not with Hana this time, but was holding a simple and honest boy with pimples all over her face.

Xue Clan nodded to Isin: "Not as beautiful as yours."

That's right, Isin has also been planted.

She didn't give up as the goblin predicted.

Rather, people became enthusiastic about planting after noticing that these grasses had grown in different ways. Many people bought seeds from Magic Gear even if they didn't have time to participate in this selection, hoping to grow a pot of their own unique plants come.

So Angel simply built a large flower stand in front of his soil slope, and put the flower seedlings that people successfully planted layer by layer. Every visitor can rate the flower seedlings through the planting interface when entering this area. The higher the score, the more prominent it can be placed.

Now the Snow Clan's 'Snow Coral' occupies the center of a flower stand, while Isin's is closer to the center than the Snow Clan's, and even owns a flower stand by itself.

Isin's flower seedlings are indeed beautiful.

The flower seedlings of that plant are like a small banyan tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, covered with flower buds, shining even in the daytime.

I didn't expect that I was so talented in planting.

Isin thought triumphantly, his mouth was still modest: "Not anymore!"

"No, it's really beautiful," said her new boyfriend. "You're the second most beautiful in the room."

Isin's smile froze.

She looked at the boy, who looked back with innocent eyes.

What the other party said was the truth.

Although Yixin's flower seedlings are close to the center, they are not in the center after all.

On the middle flower stand, there is a flower seedling like a forest - but it is only one plant, its branches and leaves are as dark as the night, but the luminous buds are dotted between the branches and leaves, like the stars in the night sky. admiration.

This thing obviously surpassed the scope of plants, and everyone who saw it praised it.

But, even if it was the truth, did you tell the girl like this?

Isin thought.

Why are all the men I'm looking for like this? !

Isin is always a little jealous of Hana at this time, after all, Hana's family is very obedient.

"Ah-"

Lance sneezed loudly and rubbed his nose under the mask.

"You don't really have a cold, do you?" Hana looked at her boyfriend worriedly and asked.

"I'm fine." Lance shook his head hastily.

He doesn't look convincing, though, as he's wearing a trench coat, mask, and hat, making him look like a patient who just escaped from a hospital.

Lance had no choice but to dress like this.

Since the editor-in-chief published the "strange building outside the city" with his name, what is it for? ! "After the article, he has been receiving all kinds of cursed letters from readers. The number has made Lance feel that he will be beaten up if he shows up on the street, so he made himself like this.

"Let's go back early today!" Hana straightened Lance's collar.

"It's okay, you can go back after the award ceremony is over." Lance insisted.

He knew that even if he really died of illness, if he didn't report the event in full, he would be picked out of the coffin by Heck's editor-in-chief and cursed.

Fortunately, the magic gear didn't mean to be a secret, and when the crowd was about to arrive, they began to announce the winner's name through the loudspeaker.

There are only a hundred names, and it took them a little time.

"—The above are the selected winners!"

Kim Gradient and Maine Coon's hospitality cat said from the podium.

The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

But some of them find it strange.

"Did I miss it? I don't seem to have heard Isin's name," Hana said strangely. "According to the position of the flower table, she is at least No.2."

"I didn't hear that either." Lance shook his head.

He has reservations about Hana's best friend, and doesn't want to get involved in anything related to her.

But at this flower show, Lance had a little opinion: "I can't see that she has this kind of skill! Could it be that the potted flower is from another species, and was discovered by the magic gear."

"That's not the case. I watched her plant it. Although... well, I don't understand why she planted it so well."

Hana frowned, feeling incomprehensible.

In fact, half of Isin's remark was helped by her, but Hana's pot was just a very ordinary pot of plum blossoms, and Isin's one turned into a fairy.

Thinking of this, Hana felt a little complicated.

"So, what are the conditions for winning?"

"Of course the condition for winning is obedience." Angel said, "Alfalfa is the technical support for the real adjustment of the formula. I just need a group of material dogs who can only clean pipes, and I don't need a planting master."

"Don't say such things so bluntly." The black cat pressed its front paws on Angel's face.

But materials science is so cheating.

90.00% seven is completely repeated trial and error experiments, and the remaining [-]% is the result of luck.

Even if alchemy potions are used to speed up the growth of plants, it has to be done over and over again. That's why Angel used the whole city to select experimenters for himself.

The [-] "planting masters" selected now are the perfect experimenters in the city who abide by the planting manual the most, and strictly follow the requirements in every move. Angel believes that they will help Alfalfa complete the next planting work.

And, thanks to this event, the most important planting material was also confirmed.

Confirmed for now.

——Maybe we will find a better one in the future, and materials science is like this.

"So that's it, there is such an inside story about the planting festival!"

Recifia nodded, and she looked at Enlis strangely: "So, what are you pulling me here for?"

Recifia accompanied the prince to participate in the flower show. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came here, Enlis invited her to the backstage with an excuse, and she was separated from the prince and others.

Enlis grabbed Recifia's hand, her expression was a bit complicated: "We didn't expect that kind of experimental material, so...you might be wronged next time."

"Wronged?" Recifia asked strangely.

While they were talking, the reception cat at the front desk continued:

"Presumably everyone has discovered meow, the list of planting masters is not the same as the planter who planted the 'most beautiful flower'. This is because the beauty of flower seedlings and planting techniques are different."

"That's right! This time we are using special flower seedlings. Only with the most sincere love can we grow the most beautiful agapanthus!"

"This love flower really blooms only for a moment, and then it will bear the fruit of love."

"Lovers who eat the fruit will be blessed forever."

Such a speech made the audience - especially the female audience blush.

"True love" is much more gimmick than simply planting flowers.

Who doesn't want true love?

"Next we invite the top three of 'Most Beautiful Flowers' to come on stage."

"No.3, Miss Lian White!"

"No.2, Miss Issing!"

"No.1, Miss Su!"

Recifia watched Miss Su walk up to the podium with Crown Prince Hyde on her arm.

She finally knew what Enlis's "sorry" meant.

"I'm sorry!" Enlis grasped Recifia's hand and said a second time.

Enliss was against accepting the award, but Angel insisted on doing so.

Although Enlis felt that Angor probably had his reasons, she felt that she was too sorry for Recifia, so she deliberately tried to find a way to take Recifia away and let her avoid that embarrassing occasion.

But for the eldest lady, this kind of occasion is actually nothing.

"It doesn't matter," Recifia said, "I'm actually very glad that it wasn't me who was there."

"but……"

Recifia paused, looking at the podium.

After the three award recipients came to the stage, the black robe also walked into the exhibition hall, but he did not talk nonsense as usual, and only waved his magic wand at the three basins.

The buds on the flower seedlings bloomed immediately.

Sure enough, their beauty is only for a moment, and then it bears fruit.

The entertaining cat took the fruits and gave them to whoever grew them.

"Your Highness, I want you to grow these fruits." Miss Su said affectionately.

"Honey……"

Prince Hyde took it over moved, but heard an exclamation from the side.

A red fruit rolled to the prince's feet.

"I'm sorry." Isin came over.

Picking up the fruit, he smiled at the prince, then returned to his boyfriend, and presented the fruit to him.

The prince's eyes couldn't help but stop on Issing: "I really don't deserve it!"

He said regretfully, not knowing who he was talking about.

Miss Su's smile stiffened suddenly.

Recifia looked at this scene with cold eyes, and then confirmed to Enlis:

"True love?!"

"... Sincere love." Enlis nodded.

Blessed by the black robe... true love!
