When Nanali heard Fang Zheng say that he was going to feed the fruit to the dogs, she was very calm. In fact, she was just like Kulia at first, and couldn't understand it at all. But after Fang Zheng told Nanali about his worries, Nanali trembled all over. Obviously, she didn't want those people to mutate their bodies or give birth to deformed children after eating the fruit grown with "slime fertilizer".
You should know that slime is a kind of harmless monster in the main world, but it is still a monster and is classified in the slime genus of the Warcraft department!
Of course, the fact that magic beasts are not edible does not mean that they cannot be eaten. Many magic beasts can be killed and eaten. Unless they are too polluted by chaos and have undergone secondary mutations, otherwise, people can still try them.
But the problem is... Slime is not among them.
You said you killed an ice wolf or something, and you can just stew the dog meat. But this slime looks like a large jellyfish and a snail without eyes and shells. The first reaction of most people when they see this thing is... can this be eaten?
Although the "slime fertilizer" was extracted from the body fluids of slimes, and because of this, Nanali didn't think much about it at first. But after she heard Fang Zheng's reminder, Nanali also reacted. So she still supported Fang Zheng's statement.
After all, she watched how fast the oranges grew every day, just like blowing up a balloon, and they changed every day. Sometimes even the farmers they hired thought that the fruit was growing too fast and there was something wrong... In this case, of course, they couldn't just let people eat them.
Although Nymph had already proved through scanning that these oranges were just a little bigger due to external stimulation and had no effect on the human body, Fang Zheng still had to be cautious about this kind of thing. Don't you see that genetically modified organisms have almost become synonymous with the Black Death in his world, which makes people shudder at the mere mention of it? In this world, he certainly doesn't want to make such a mistake.
Fang Zheng's plan was to first launch greenhouses and slime fertilizers, and then as long as he was sure that the fertilizers were OK, he could move to soilless cultivation. As long as these three were done, Nanali's alchemist level would definitely be able to rise, and then he could happily hide behind and count the spirit crystals. After all, in Fang Zheng's opinion, these three items were enough to change the agricultural structure of the main world. As for the others... he was not interested in getting them at the moment.
As for Nanali, Fang Zheng was not worried. He had been in contact with Nanali for some time and found that this girl had solid basic skills, except that her mother had led her thinking a little bit. Moreover, this alchemy work also benefited Nanali a lot. She no longer always focused on some lofty goals that were beyond her reach, but became more down-to-earth.
But Kulia obviously couldn't accept this explanation like Nanali did. She was obsessed with oranges, and now, in the snow, such big and juicy oranges were right in front of her, but she could only look at them and not eat them. Isn't this a way to kill herself? !
Isn't it because I'm afraid it's poisonous? I, Kulia, will die today, and I will die here. I will also eat a bite of orange fruit before I die!
"...I'm going back to find my grandfather. You guys wait here!"
After saying this, Kulia turned around and left in a hurry. Her mind was now full of orange fruit. Although she was also afraid of being poisoned, but... Humph, isn't it just checking whether there is poison? This is too easy for the Alchemist Association!
"What is she doing?"
Seeing Kulia running away without saying anything, Fang Zheng was also stunned, and then looked at Nanali next to him. He had originally planned to ask Nanali to talk about her future ideas, but this little girl just stared at the orange fruit for a while and ran away with just these words?
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Nanali shook her head blankly. She had no idea what was wrong with her friend. She had clearly agreed to come and see her inventions, but within a few minutes after she came in, and before she had even had the chance to introduce them, she turned around and ran away in a hurry. As for the reason... Nanali didn't know!
In fact, at this moment, Kulia had already forgotten what she had promised Nanali. She only had one thought in her mind, which was to quickly find out whether the orange fruit was poisonous or not. If it was not poisonous, she would definitely eat a bite! !
This has been her long-cherished wish for more than ten years!
With this thought in mind, Kulia used all her strength as a swordsman and ran back home as fast as she could.
"Grandpa! Are you there? Grandpa!!"
"What's wrong? Kuriya?"
Hearing Kulia's cry, an old man with gray hair and wearing an alchemist's robe walked out of the room. Seeing his granddaughter panting, the old man was also surprised.
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"No, no, no one bullies me..."
Hearing the old man's question, Kulia raised her hand and shook it, then she hurriedly looked at the old man.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you still have that water bird?"
"Sure? What do you want to do?"
"I want to take it for testing!"
Hearing the old man's answer, Kulia suddenly became excited.
"You know Nunnally, Grandpa, right? Nunnally has come up with an incredible invention this time!"
"oh?"
Looking at his excited granddaughter, the old man was slightly stunned.
"You mean the little girl from Tilda's family? What did she come up with this time?"
At this point, the old man's face also showed an expression of great interest. His granddaughter had played with Nunnally since she was a child, so he certainly knew a thing or two about Nunnally's "skills". In fact, Kuriya had mentioned Nunnally's "great inventions" in front of him many times before, but at that time she mostly spoke in a helpless and teasing tone. But looking at her now... could it be that she really made something amazing?
"She invented something called a greenhouse that allows people to grow crops in the winter, and she also made a fertilizer that can speed up the growth of crops!"
"oh?!"
Hearing Kulia's answer, the old man's expression suddenly changed. Maybe Kulia was just thinking about finding time to take a bite of the orange, but as a great alchemist, the moment the old man heard Kulia's answer, he immediately thought of the potential value of this invention!
"Did that little girl really make something like this? Do you have the blueprints with you?"
"Of course, here."
Kulia immediately took out the blueprint and handed it over. The old man took the blueprint, opened it, and then looked at it carefully.
"Hmm...? I see, it's a method of building houses for crops, is that so... Hmm? Using the skin of slime and tempered fine wood? I see, this way we can indeed take into account the cost and the time of setting up, just like a huge oval tent... Oh? And this fertilizer..."
Although there was not much written on the drawing of Nanali, the old man's eyes sparkled just by looking at the raw materials and the effects.
"Kuliya, have you confirmed all these things?"
"Of course, Grandpa, that greenhouse is amazing. It looks light and airy, but it's actually quite warm inside. And the fertilizer is also amazing. I heard from them that after using this fertilizer, it only took more than half a month for the oranges to mature!"
“So soon?”
The old man was also shocked at this time. You know, according to reason, it would take three months for oranges to mature if they were planted normally. But after using this fertilizer, it only took less than a month?
"Is this why you asked me for the water bird?"
"Yes, I want to see if the orange fruit is poisonous. They are always worried that the fruit grows too fast and may bring bad effects..."
"Hmm... very good. A qualified alchemist should have such a cautious temperament."
Looking at the granddaughter in front of him, the old man nodded.
"Well, I'll go with you to see what good stuff your good friend has come up with."
