Emenas, Black Water Lily Activity Room.
Lily sat on the sofa nearby, flipping through a picture novel, occasionally putting the book down to eat some snacks on the coffee table.
"Well, how boring." She leaned back on the chair and said with her arms open.
As a self-aware indifferent person, Lily did not have too many aspirations. She was satisfied as long as her grades were generally average. She estimated that she could only be promoted to the fourth grade at best and then graduate.
Anyway, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up to those geniuses. Luo Lan, Bumansha, Ye Ling, Wei Miya, each one of them was extraordinary. Only Niya was about the same as her, but now Niya was at Qiaodun Academy, working incredibly hard, and she couldn't learn that kind of perseverance.
The Cang Cui Empire attaches great importance to family bloodline. She is not a genius, and no matter how hard she tries, she will be just so-so. She doesn't want to live such a hard life.
I hope to marry into a good family in the future, raise fish, plant flowers, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.
After sighing, Lily put the book down from her forehead, turned her neck and looked to the other side, where Hongfan was playing chess with Kuye.
Since the end of last year, this activity room has gradually become lively. With the addition of other club members such as Hongfan, Kuye, Ling, and Yigli, the Black Water Lily club, which originally had only three or five people, has expanded rapidly.
"If you feel bored, just help me." Bumansha walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a plate of freshly made snacks in her hands. This is her hobby that she has never wanted to give up.
I often make a lot and can’t finish it myself, so I often give it to other members of these clubs for free.
However, in this way, everyone gradually became familiar with each other. Since Luo Lanxier left, Bu Mansha has become the acting president, handling some of the affairs of the club.
"Wow, I don't want to move. Even though it's boring, I still don't want to work." Lily said in a voice full of ambition.
"If Ye Ling were here, she would definitely laugh at you." Bumansha came over, put the books on the sofa away, and stuffed a piece of dessert into Lily's mouth.
"I almost fucked her..." she replied while eating a snack.
The door of the activity room was pushed open, and two girls walked in carrying flower pots.
"Good afternoon, Bumansa, Lily, and everyone."
Igli put the flowerpot in the corner, stood up and said hello. Ling followed behind her and put down another flowerpot, but this one was more special. There was clear water in the white porcelain flowerpot, and round green leaves were floating in it.
"What is this?" Lily trotted over like a clever kitten.
"This is something we cultivated recently. As you know, I used to be the president of Nectar Bud. Although Nectar Bud is now under the Black Water Lily, most of the former members are still there, so we have been researching something recently, and now we have achieved some results."
"These are the two potted plants we carefully cultivated. One is a black-red rose, and the other is a black-purple water lily."
"Hey, isn't this the same as the name of our club?" Lily squatted in the corner, looking at the two potted plants in front of her, and made a surprised sound.
"Yes, we were originally exploring in this direction." Igli walked into the middle of the activity room and sat in front of Bumansha.
"What do you think, Vice President? Do you want to promote it? Haha."
Bumansa poured tea into the cups in front of her, one cup for Igli and one cup for herself.
"Let's wait a few more days and see what these two plants look like when they bloom." She picked up the teacup, blew away the hot air, and took a small sip.
"It's a pity that Luo Lan is not here. She also likes flowers and plants and sometimes tells me some little knowledge about planting."
"Does President Loran also understand this? I can't tell at all." In the minds of Igli and others, Loran is probably the kind of noble and elegant young lady who never gets involved in sex.
"Ah ha, actually Loran is very easy to get along with. She used to cook delicious food for us in the dormitory. The style and taste were very unique and everyone liked it." Bumansha talked about the little things in the past and recalled her life in the dormitory.
Before they knew it, most of their college life had already passed, and they were now in their third year. In two years, they would graduate and leave.
"President Loran can cook? I can't imagine it at all." The elf girl Atati came out from the lounge in the back room, talking as she walked, with her hair tied with a light green headband.
"Although I'm an elf, I don't know anything about cooking. It's most convenient to just eat fruit." She said this as she sat on the sofa and picked up a yellow apple.
"Ling, do you want to eat some? These apples are said to have just been transported from Clansia. They are very fresh." She looked at the girl opposite.
The winged girl shook her head, picked up a snack from the coffee table, and began to nibble on it. This girl with wings on her back, although exceptionally fierce on the field, was actually quite quiet and reserved in her daily life.
In the activity room, some people were playing chess, some were chatting, and some were eating fruit snacks. Lily squatted in the corner and touched the bud that was about to bloom with her hand.
The deep black petals make this rose full of charm even before it blooms. The wine red color on the edges makes the petals clearly layered. The buds hang down from the branches and leaves, and a few light green leaves are revealed from the base of the buds. A few sharp thorns are separated on the stems to prevent others from touching them casually.
Gently stroke the flower bud with your fingertips and feel the layered touch of the petals.
"This flower hasn't bloomed yet," Lily murmured.

Clancy, Solander.
In the next half month, Loran Hill and everyone agreed on the details of the five-year plan, and then developed a detailed manual and began printing it.
Sheets of light yellow paper, stained with a faint scent of ink, are compacted by heavy steel, then threaded, glued, sealed, and stacked in a warehouse.
From a small pile at the beginning, to boxes, and finally to the entire warehouse, millions of books were like small mountains, gradually reaching the dome of the warehouse.
A girl in a black and blue robe walked in and, under the guidance of several staff members, took out a book and opened it to read.
"Your Highness, with nearly ten printing factories in the capital working at full capacity, 30% of the first batch of promotional materials has been completed. However, due to a current shortage of paper, the next batch will have to wait until next month."
"Yeah, I understand."
After flipping through the illustrated brochure in his hand, Loran Hill put it back on the pile of books and turned to look to the other side.
"How are the other textbooks being printed? The first batch of technicians will start teaching soon."
The first batch of projects such as steelmaking and cement production require a large number of technical personnel. During this period, Loran Hill will temporarily serve as a mentor to teach the first batch of students. They will then become the technical backbone in the future and lead construction projects in various places.
"These materials have been completely printed." The staff member straightened his back proudly.
"Very well, then let us begin, the first spark of the industrial age."
The girl opened a new page in history.
