Chapter 104: Lian Mai Secret Realm, give me a price for the elixir!
In fact, there are no particularly serious conflicts between humans and most plant monsters. It’s just that the way ordinary plant monsters communicate is too abstract. Although plant monsters of a slightly higher level can speak human language, they are all scared - it is not easy for plant monsters to advance. The path to advancement is much more difficult than that of flesh and blood monsters, and it is purely by endurance.
After growing carefully for so many years, it finally grew into a towering tree with complete intelligence, so it must be more precious about life!
The only difference between humans and plant monsters is a translator.
After chatting for a while, Ji Ruo went to the floating island to find Aunt Jinglan.
Even Gu Xingzhou was a little surprised - Ji Ruo had actually learned to open a portal in the same space? This child's compatibility with the fragments of the Universal Mirror was higher than he had imagined.
Although Aunt Jinglan still dislikes Gu Xingzhou, she is very happy about Ji Ruo's arrival.
"啾~ (Little Jiruo, come quickly, Auntie has prepared a lot of ingredients and has been waiting for you for a long time!)"
“啾~ (Master! I miss you so much! Make something delicious!)”
"Chiu~ (Delicious, delicious!)"
Ji Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you missing me? Maybe you're missing the food I cooked?"
Without much hesitation, he took out various seasonings that he had prepared long ago from the pantheon - he had been setting up a stall recently, so these things were naturally always on hand.
Although some spiritual fruits and plants can barely replace various seasonings, they are not real seasonings after all, and there will still be slight differences in taste.
Ji Ruo now has the title of "God of Cookery". He is more adept at combining various seasonings and controlling the heat. With the added effect of "Delicious +3", the food he cooks is even more delicious than before. Aunt Jinglan and her family are very happy with the food.
"啾~ (Xiao Jiruo is really good at cooking!)"
Aunt Jinglan said with satisfaction: "Chiu~ (It's much better than that human who would ask the child for a treasure.)"
Ji Ruo laughed loudly, and Gu Xingzhou asked curiously, "Ji Ruo, what is Jing Lan talking about?"
He would never call Jinglan auntie.
Ji Ruo said, "Uncle Gu, Auntie said she is very happy that you can come."
Gu Xingzhou grinned, but before he could be happy, Aunt Jinglan ruthlessly exposed him in a stiff human language: "I told Xiao Jiruo not to play with you, a bad guy who would ask a child for a treasure!"
Gu Xingzhou: “…”
Ji Ruo smiled, took out the gift he had prepared for Aunt Jing Lan, and said, "Aunt, this is the gift I prepared for you."
"Chiu~ (The gift is ready? What is this?)"
Aunt Jinglan asked curiously.
Dabao and Erbao also came over.
"This is a tablet computer." Ji Ruo said, "Aren't you bored? I don't know if you can accept our human culture, but this thing is pretty good for entertainment.
I have downloaded a lot of movies and TV series for you, you can watch them when you are bored. "
"Chiu~ (How do I use this?)"
"I'll teach you."
….
After teaching Aunt Jinglan how to use the tablet, Ji Ruo couldn't help laughing when he saw Aunt Jinglan carefully controlling it with her bird claws.
The family of three huddled in front of the tablet, watching with great interest a martial arts film that Ji Ruo had downloaded.
"Jiu~ (These fancy moves look pretty, thank you, Xiao Jiruo.)"
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."
Gu Xingzhou stood aside feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Ji Ruo, can you think of a way to help improve the relationship between me and Jing Lan's family? I will be staying in Wanshou Mountain Town for a while. It's not a solution that she has always disliked me..." He whispered to Ji Ruo.
After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo gave Gu Xingzhou a reassuring look, and said to Aunt Chong Jinglan:
"Oh, Auntie, I may not be able to come back to the Mountain of Beasts to cook for you often in the future. How about this, let Uncle Gu invite a few chefs to come up and cook for you?"
"Chu~ (Chef?)"
"Yes, my cooking skills are not that good. After all, I am just a high school student."
"Is it okay?" Aunt Jinglan turned her head and asked stiffly.
Gu Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Yes, of course!"
…
After leaving the floating island, Ji Ruo helped Gu Xingzhou plan a plan to make the source of the elixir public.
Gu Xingzhou was confused as he looked at it: "This, this, this, is this possible? Will the mountain god tree agree?"
"Uncle Gu, look at how happy the Mountain God Mu Ye is now. He wishes he could have a better relationship with us humans. Don't you agree, Mountain God Mu Ye?"
"Yeah, yeah, hahaha, it's so fun to be around humans!"
Gu Xingzhou: “…”
So Gu Xingzhou took Ji Ruo's plan back and reported it to the General Affairs Department.
Although the General Affairs Department thought this plan was a bit ridiculous, since it was proposed by that kid...
"Then give it a try."
…
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the functional achievement: This is my plan! 】
[Skills Acquired: Farsight]
[Foresight: When the host child participates in the formulation of a plan, after the plan is finalized, this skill can be used to check the success rate of the plan! ]
【Note: What do you mean by cooking shit behind the scenes? It’s the mastermind behind the scenes! 】
[Note: When it comes to planning, I am a professional! ]
…
The next day.
The General Affairs Department has issued a notice to the whole country, telling everyone that there will be a mysterious live broadcast at 6 o'clock this afternoon, which is about the price adjustment of low-level spiritual medicines. Please watch it actively.
Five fifty.
Gu Xingzhou held the manuscript Ji Ruo had written for him, still a little hesitant: "Ji Ruo, is this really okay?"
"Believe me, it's right!" Ji Ruo raised his thumb.
He used his [Farsight] skill to check and found that the success rate of this plan was 98%.
It can be said that there is almost no possibility of failure.
"All right."
Gu Xingzhou took a deep breath and went over the contents of the manuscript in his mind again.
Live streaming is on.
Gu Xingzhou quickly entered the state.
"Welcome everyone to watch this live broadcast. I am the host of this live broadcast. My name is Gu Xingzhou."
"I believe everyone is curious about the content of this live broadcast. How will the General Affairs Department adjust the prices of low-level spiritual medicines?"
"Everyone knows that martial arts training requires a lot of resources. As the saying goes, a poor scholar is good at martial arts. People who practice martial arts have a great demand for spiritual medicine. However, the conditions for the growth of spiritual medicine are somewhat complicated, and it is difficult to cultivate them artificially. In addition, the available arable land in Daxia has been shrinking year after year..."
Speaking of this, the mood of the live broadcast barrage is relatively low.
There is no troll saying anything nonsense, everyone knows that this is the fact.
People watched the live broadcast quietly.
"Fortunately, hard work pays off. After years of hard work by the Military and Agricultural Departments, we have finally succeeded in cultivating a five-star mountain god tree in a secret place!
Recently, thanks to the efforts of various officials, this sacred mountain tree has successfully taken control of the ground in the secret realm!"
The live broadcast screen paused slightly.
Gu Xingzhou's voice became excited.
"The Life-Saving Fruits that the Finance Department recently distributed to injured examiners and students all came from this artificially cultivated mountain god tree!
We humans have already mastered the method of mass production of the fruit of life. As long as we invest enough life essence, we can harvest an endless supply of the fruit of life! "
"Not only is it a fruit of life, this artificially cultivated mountain god tree has mature intelligence and is fully capable of mass-producing a variety of low-level spiritual medicines according to our requirements!"
The live broadcast room was completely boiling with excitement, and the thick bullet screen almost drowned out Gu Xingzhou's figure.
The three words that appear most frequently on the barrage screen are: Is it true?
Gu Xingzhou laughed loudly and said excitedly: "I know you may not believe it. After all, this matter is too ridiculous, but this is the fact!"
"Seeing is believing. Since everyone doesn't believe it, let's just get straight to the topic of this live broadcast!"
"Please prepare yourselves and keep your eyes open. Now——"
Gu Xingzhou waved his hand, and a blood-red vortex portal suddenly appeared behind him.
"Lian Mai Secret Realm, give me a price for the elixir!"
