Tang Wan's voice was like something beautiful mixed with a hint of something not so beautiful. When the players who were addicted to the scent of the flowers opened their eyes, the first thing that caught their eyes was a confused face.
Then, I woke up from a dream.
The player who claimed to be Tang Wan's neighbor stood up as a player representative: "Hey, my brother Wan, why are you still asking everyone what happened? Didn't you notice the smell? It was so fragrant. We were all attracted by the smell and then found that the smell came from your house. Brother Wan, what on earth is that smell?"
Tang Wan: “…” He felt embarrassed as if his favorite toy had been discovered by someone else.
What should I do? Are these people trying to steal his toys?
But on second thought, this is a game, and the fragrance comes from the game props he exchanged for 1,000 points. It doesn't sound that strange, right?
There's nothing to hide.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan simply told him about the "fairy flower seedling": "Oh, my 'fairy flower seedling' has finally grown. It was originally just a thin petal, but today it has become a complete flower, and it also has a smell. It smells really good, super fragrant!"
"'Fairy flower seedling'? Why does it sound so familiar?" A player among the onlookers spoke hesitantly, looked up and thought for a long time, suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted in surprise, "I remember! When I was exchanging points for props before, I accidentally exchanged for this prop. Because it was not in my plan list, I wasted 1,000 points in vain, so I just threw it in my backpack and didn't pay much attention to it. If this fragrance is emitted by the 'Fairy flower seedling', then wouldn't I make a fortune? Hehehe..."
After saying that, the player started searching in his backpack. Then...he took out a purple flowerpot with a strange black and purple plant growing on it, which looked a bit like a pitcher plant.
The eyes of the people around are curious and expectant.
Tang Wan also looked over and then immediately said "???". Why was the plant in this person's hand completely different from the one in his pot?
Is it that the varieties in each pot are originally different, or has this pot mutated?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the faces of the other people who were originally slowly moving towards the player suddenly changed. Some covered their mouths, some pinched their noses, and they quickly retreated in the opposite direction.
There were also a few obvious retching sounds.
Tang Wan was far away and was the last to smell the overwhelming stench.
He was in a terrible state, as if his soul was about to ascend to heaven. He stood there stupidly, swaying. He had never smelled such a stinky smell in his life. Even the stinky tofu flavored nutrient solution launched by Wei Gu Food a few years ago was not as stinky as this one!
In the end, he couldn't resist the stench and leaned weakly against the wall outside the house.
The player who took out the stinking fairy flower was also dumbfounded. He stared at the thing in his hand with his eyes wide open like copper bells. His nose and mouth had been completely closed because of his desire to survive. He only used the air he had inhaled earlier to get through this most difficult period.
How could this happen?! Wasn't it supposed to smell like flowers? Why did the pot he took out have a strong stench and even an ominous color?
The player felt wronged as he watched his surroundings turn into an empty space in a few seconds. Others could hide, but he couldn't. At the critical moment, he was reluctant to throw the flower away or destroy it on the spot. After all, it was exchanged for 1,000 points...
"Brother, why are you still standing there? Take it back quickly. I'm almost dying of the stink, yue..."
"That's right, for everyone's safety, please put this gas bomb back immediately, please!"
"Fuck, such an overbearing smell. I can no longer smell the floral scent from before. Is my nose broken?"
The people around shouted and begged loudly, but no one chose to run further away. Although they pinched their noses and covered their mouths, their eyes were still rolling around, observing the pot of black and purple flowers from afar, their curiosity increased instead of decreased.
If they were initially just curious about what kind of "fairy flower" could emit such a charming scent, now they are curious about why both of them are "fairy flowers", but one can emit an intoxicating fragrance that makes people addicted to it, while the other is a walking human weapon that can give people nightmares for several nights after taking a few whiffs of it.
The contrast is so strong that I wonder what the other 19,998 pots will look like.
The player holding the stinking "fairy flower" finally reacted and quickly put the source of the stench into his backpack. Then, like all the other players, he looked eagerly at Tang Wan. Their intention was obvious, they just wanted to see if the pot that belonged to Tang Wan was also black and purple and ugly.
After the stinking fairy flower was taken back, the charming flower fragrance spread again. Unfortunately, the players did not dare to breathe in hard this time, fearing that there was a trap waiting for them behind the fragrance. Even so, when they took a sip of the pleasant fragrance, they felt that their wounded hearts were mended.
Woo woo woo, Xiangxiang Huahua, save their lives!
Tang Wan had originally intended to take out his own pot of flowers to satisfy everyone's curiosity, but he was interrupted. After the situation settled down, he said something to someone and went back to the house. After a while, he came out holding a pink pot of flowers.
Planted in the flowerpot is a snow-white flower with soft and delicate petals, which is in line with everyone's imagination of the idiom "fairy-like".
"This is it. This is the fairy flower I grew." Tang Wan explained to everyone.
So the question is, why did he grow white ones while the other person grew black and purple ones?
The players looked at each other, trying to get closer to the white fairy flower, while making reasonable explanations based on their own understanding.
"Just like pet eggs, mount eggs, and surprise gift packs, the fairy flowers grown from this 'Fairy Flower Seedling' are also random? The ones grown by Brother Wan are fragrant, but the ones grown by the other brother are smelly?"
"If you ask me, how could the fairy flower be smelly? Rather than saying it's random, I'd rather believe it's actually spiritual. Brother Wan takes good care of it, and it repays you with its fragrance. As for the other brother, it's been locked in a small dark room for ten whole days. If I were you, I would also become evil. Even if I stink you to death, it means I'm kind, humph!"
"Hahahaha! Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, I stand for the second reason! Did you hear that, brother? You can grow this stinky treasure, but you still have to bear the blame~"
It’s true, although this group of players are nonsensical in their daily lives, they sometimes have extremely sharp intuition. Although the reason why the two fairy flowers are different is described based on their understanding, it does fit in with Bai Li’s setting.
In Bai Li's setting, the initial state of the "fairy flower seedlings" are all the same, but how they will eventually grow depends on how they are cared for and treated during the ten days of growth.
You give me sunshine and rain, and I give you a room full of fragrance; you lock me up in a dark room, and I will fuck your grandma's legs and let me stink you to death, and then we will die together!
In short, you reap what you sow. However, Bai Li did not make this setting too rigid. If the player accidentally grows a fairy flower with a special odor, it can be slowly restored with subsequent careful care.
However, the recovery process is long and arduous, and it takes ten times longer than the time it takes for the fairy flower to grow.
If the players are willing, they can do it. If they are not willing, then there is nothing he can do.
After learning about what happened in other villages from the gossip-loving Jiang Huaibi, Bai Li made a patch in the introduction of Xianpa's props and stopped paying attention to it.
However, in the game forums, the discussion about Xianba is becoming more and more intense.
"There are 20,000 fairy flower seedlings in total. If they are divided equally among 200 villages, there will be about 100 players in each village. I hope the players in our village have taken good care of their seedlings in the past ten days. I don't want to be poisoned by the stench..."
"You think too much. The majority of people in our game are old men and old women. They live rough lives... Tsk tsk, I can't bear to watch. Planting crops and scattering flowers in the yard is already the greatest kindness they can do. Expecting them to take good care of those seedlings is just a dream. (From a sad person who fainted five times after logging in and did not want to reveal his name)"
"I have never smelled so many different smells in my life! Pleasant smells are all the same, but disgusting stench is different in its own way QAQ!"
"Actually... the fragrance of those fairy flowers is also slightly different. Thanks to the Beast God, the brothers and sisters who live next door to my house are all straightforward and love life. They not only take good care of the fairy flowers they exchanged, but also sit in the fitness area of our residence every day to discuss N kinds of experiences in growing flowers. Good people are rewarded, they successfully grew fragrant fairy flowers, and now they are the big stars of our village! And I am surrounded by these fragrances 360 degrees, maybe I am pickled in them~"
"Wow, if I had known that the 'Xianhua Seedling' could grow flowers with such a strong fragrance, I would have changed the pot no matter what. I regret it now."
"Regret +1"
"Regret +2"
“…”
In Novice Village No. 66, Zhu Moling, Fox One, and Fox Two were sitting around a round table. In the center of the table was a pot of flowers with black petals.
"Strange." Zhu Moling raised his hand and moved the petals of the black flower, wondering, "Didn't the forum say that the scent of dark-colored fairy flowers is not very pleasant? Why does the scent of my flower smell so good?"
As if wanting to confirm his statement, Zhu Moling leaned forward and smelled it carefully. It really smelled good, a special scent with a dark temperament but making people feel a hint of warmth for no reason.
As Zhu Moling touched it, the large black petals swayed up and down a few times. Under the warm yellow light above, colorful starlight flowed on the surface of the petals.
This kind of petal color will never appear in reality.
Fox One and Fox Two shook their heads together, expressing their confusion.
They didn't even know why the clan leader gave up the first and second rewards when exchanging points, and chose the pet eggs, mount eggs, and fairy flower seedlings.
Even though he had made rapid progress and participated in both the Hundred-Man Labyrinth and the Ancient City Search, and even ranked in the top three, he still used up 11,000 points to exchange for these three things, so there was nothing left to exchange for...
If Zhu Moling could hear what the two were thinking, he would be very kind to tell them the reason. The reason was that he was lazy. Taking care of pet eggs was taking care of them, taking care of mount eggs was taking care of them, and taking care of fairy flower seedlings was also taking care of them. Since they were all taking care of them, he might as well do it together.
During these ten days, whether he was fishing by the river or mining in the mine, he always brought the small seedling with him. He let it enjoy the sunshine when fishing and the loneliness of darkness when mining. Whenever he was tired and resting, Zhu Moling would sit beside the fairy flower seedling, gently stroking its flower buds while humming an incomprehensible ballad.
Ten days later, a colorful black fairy flower was born.
