Although Nanali had long known that her good friend had a very eccentric side, she had to admit that she was still stunned when she heard Kuria's confident answer.

Is there such an operation?

"You don't understand this."

Seeing her friend's expression, Kulia had to hold her hand and explain in detail.

"Don't think that judging by appearance is unreliable, but for people in our industry, judging by appearance is the basis."

Kulia was not lying. As a staff member of the Alchemist Association, her main job was to identify the visitors to see who was sincere in their cooperation and who was just here to cheat for free food and drink. You have to know that the nature of the work of the Alchemist Association is similar to this. You must distinguish between black science, high science, and folk science. Don't report things like turning water into oil as some major alchemical invention, that would be a laughing stock.

But the staff are staff after all. People like Kulia are not even alchemists. Although they have never seen a pig run, they have eaten pork. However, they have to identify all kinds of alchemy every day, including all kinds of things flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. You can't expect these staff members to know everything about astronomy and geography.

If that's the case, why bother working as a receptionist? Just be a librarian.

In comparison, it is much easier to read people.

At least you can tell some of a person's characteristics from his conversation, manners, temperament, etc. If he is a person who likes to brag, then you must take a reserved view of his inventions. And if he is an honest and dull person, then there may be something about his inventions that he has not explained clearly in time... In short, Kulia believes that she may make mistakes in judging inventions, but she will never make mistakes in judging people!

At the beginning, she did have some doubts about Nanali's so-called "relative", especially Nanali's hesitant attitude, which deepened Kulia's suspicion. She and Nanali grew up together, and Kulia knew her relative's character very well. Seeing her like that, Kulia knew that she must be hiding something from her, so she decided to follow her to see what was going on.

The reason why Kuria kept saying bad things about "Ezio" along the way was to see Nunnally's reaction. If Nunnally really hated that man, she would agree with her opinion inadvertently. If Nunnally was fascinated by that man, she would refute him a little.

But what puzzled Kulia was that after hearing her "trash talk", Nanali did not show as if she had found a soulmate as she thought, nor did she defend her oppa like a woman who had lost her mind in love. She just dissuaded him with a bit of trouble. Looking at her, it seemed that she was more respectful than coerced or confused by the other party?

After seeing Fang Zheng in person, Kulia immediately saw his extraordinary qualities.

This young man was only in his early twenties, but his dress and manners exuded a noble and elegant temperament, and his eyes were very calm. No matter whether he was looking at herself or Nanali, he did not show any evil feelings. Not only that, when Fang Zheng looked at her, Kulia even felt a strong pressure - it was as if a ruler who controlled the world was looking at her, making Kulia almost tremble all over!

But more importantly, the young man in front of me is so handsome!

Unlike Nanali, a research dog who stayed at home all day, Kuria had seen many young talents. There were many talented people among alchemists. Although this was not the headquarters of the association, there had been some "geniuses" and "prodigies" over the years, such as a blond dwarf who dreamed of getting the Philosopher's Stone, or a big guy who wanted to do human transmutation...

Being an alchemist is a profession that costs a lot of money, but it is also a profession that makes money. So while working in this field, Kulia has also met many noble sons and wealthy bachelors. Some of them are good-looking, some are elegant, and some are both.

But there is really no one who has reached Fang Zheng’s level!

Although Fang Zheng's appearance has not changed much since his rebirth, he was not ugly and fat before his rebirth, and his body was also fine-tuned during the reorganization, otherwise his charm would not have reached C++. It can be said that Fang Zheng now has good looks and temperament, plus the dominance bonus brought by the Heart of the Swarm, naturally he is not comparable to ordinary people.

Precisely because of this, Kulia's attitude towards Fang Zheng naturally could not be that bad. How could Kulia not like such an elegant, graceful, handsome and long-legged Oppa?

I guess not hugging your thighs and shouting "Oppa I love you" and asking for an autograph can be considered as having self-control!

But when Kulia followed Fang Zheng and others to the greenhouse, she was immediately mesmerized by the unimaginably beautiful scenes before her!

“It’s really unimaginable…”

Looking at the green patches in the greenhouse in front of her, Kulia stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Since this is just an experiment, Fang Zheng did not choose crops such as wheat, because these crops take a long time to grow and the effect of eating them is not very intuitive. For example, wheat needs to be ground into flour and then made into bread... This process is really too long.

Therefore, they chose to plant a kind of fruit in this world called orange fruit, which is similar to strawberry. After all, this kind of thing has a short growth cycle, can be eaten directly, tastes good, and is easier to use for experiments. And now, after these days of cultivation, these orange fruits are almost ripe. Just the bright red and tender fruits under the green branches and leaves, and the fragrant fruity aroma, made Kulia drool.

More importantly, it’s winter! Winter!!

Tangerines are a very popular fruit because they are sweet and delicious. Everyone likes to eat them. They are popular among both the upper class and the common people. But unfortunately, tangerines have high requirements for the environment, so they only bear fruit in summer. Although many people grow them because of their popularity, these fruits can only be preserved until autumn at most, although they can be preserved until winter with cryogenic magic. However, cryogenic magic is quite expensive, and the taste after cryogenic preservation is not very good.

Take Kulia for example, she also likes to eat oranges very much, so every summer when oranges are on the market, she eats them to death, until she feels like vomiting, because she knows very well that after this season, this store will be gone.

Kulia had thought more than once about what it would be like to eat a bite of sour, sweet, soft, crispy, and cool orange fruit by the burning stove in winter. But at that time, she was just thinking about it. Now, looking at these large pieces of plump fruits...

If there weren't so many people watching, she would have probably pounced on it and devoured it! Fortunately, her rationality prevented the girl from doing such a disrespectful thing in front of everyone. But even so, looking at this fresh and delicious fruit, Kulia couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

“This is simply amazing!”

Subconsciously wiping the corner of her mouth, Kuliya looked at Fang Zheng with excitement.

"Sir, can I have a taste?"

In Kulia's opinion, there was nothing wrong with her request. But to her surprise, Fang Zheng shook his head and rejected her proposal.

"It's not ripe yet, and even if it is ripe, I don't plan to let people eat it right away."

"Huh? Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Kulia was shocked and didn't understand why he said that. You know, these oranges are not only fragrant and sweet, but also much bigger than the oranges sold in the market in her memory. The color is also brighter and more attractive, making her drool. Logically speaking, shouldn't they ask people to taste them at this time to prove the power of their invention?

No, in Kulia's opinion, being able to grow oranges in the middle of winter is already amazing!

"Because these oranges are not yet ripe, and their safety is uncertain."

Fang Zheng seemed very calm. He was not a scientific researcher, but he knew that experiments should not be done carelessly. To be honest, the effect of this "fertilizer" was beyond Fang Zheng's expectations. Nymph and Nanali used the slime's body fluid to mix these "fertilizers", which made the oranges grow faster than if they were injected with hormones, which made Fang Zheng a little nervous.

You have to know that in reality, fertilizers and hormones don't grow so fast. If this were put in a horror science fiction movie, it might be some genetically mutated species... What if something bad happens to you after eating it?

Even if everything is fine now, what if the baby is born with deformity after eating it...whose fault is it?

"Then, who are you going to feed these oranges to?"

Kuliya obviously didn't know what was going on in Fang Zheng's mind, but she was also confused at the moment. Why didn't he eat such a good fruit? Then what was he going to do after it was ripe?

"Anyway, I'm going to do some animal testing first...feed the dog."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Nanali didn't react, but Kulia was instantly furious.

Such a good thing, he wants to feed it to the dog?!

This is such a waste of resources!!!
