Chapter 23
Su Ci observed the miniature formation that appeared in the air. The patterns on it were not complicated, but it exuded a sense of mystery. It floated leisurely in the air, emitting a subtle light golden glow.
After taking a few glances at it and making some minor changes, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Su Ci's fingertips moved slightly.
This micro water purification array was under his control and was secretly attached to the water outlet of the automatic water dispenser.
With this water purification array, not only can all the impurities in the water be filtered out, but also some spiritual energy can be retained in the water. Drinking more of this water containing clean spiritual energy is good for children.
More importantly, this water is also suitable for watering spiritual seeds.
Su Ci was fiddling with the water source, and when Number One walked into the room, he noticed something was wrong.
He almost subconsciously looked towards the living room and walked closer to that place.
“Hungry…hungry…”
A familiar faint consciousness came over the child, and he was startled. He quickly took steps with his short legs, walked around the sofa which was a bit high for him, and then saw an open can of food on the coffee table in the living room.
He knew that this can of food, which contained delicious meat, was what the breeders ate in the morning.
“Hungry…hungry…”
That faint consciousness did indeed come from this can, and the child tilted his head in confusion.
He leaned over, stood on tiptoe, and peeked into the can. He saw that the can did not contain the delicious-smelling meat, but...
Yellow-brown soil!
The child's eyes lit up.
Was it dug out from that little patch of dirt in the yard? Was there a talking seed hidden in this can of dirt? Or something else?
Number One was extremely curious. He felt that his lonely and boring life had suddenly become colorful since he met the breeder.
However, he lay down beside the coffee table, turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, then looked at the can of soil on the coffee table. In the end, he resisted the urge and did not reach out to dig.
“Hungry…hungry…”
That faint consciousness continued to come to him, very similar to what he heard in the morning, but with a little difference.
Number One opened his mouth slightly, but when he thought of his own unpleasant voice, he closed it again.
He stretched out his little hand, gently touched the metal shell of the can with his fingertips, then reluctantly withdrew it and continued to lie on the edge of the coffee table, staring at this box of clay cans that was very rare to him without blinking.
The slightly moist soil gave off a faint earthy smell. The smell was not unpleasant to the child, but rather made him feel familiar, as if it was... the smell in his memory.
Su Ci placed the glass and the powdered strips of nutrient solution on the dining table. He glanced towards the living room and saw Number One lying on the coffee table, his eyes fixed on the can of soil.
He thought about it and walked over.
Hearing his footsteps, the child looked up at him and pointed at the box of clay cans, wanting to say something eagerly, but still couldn't speak.
Seeing that his face was flushed and he looked very anxious, Su Ci reached out and put his hand on the top of his head, rubbing it gently.
Number One felt the hand on his head. He raised his head slightly and met the breeder's warm black eyes.
He blinked his eyes, and suddenly his anxious mood was miraculously soothed.
He pointed to the can of dirt and asked the keeper to look at it.
Su Ci withdrew his hand and sat down on the sofa next to the child. He took the can on the coffee table and looked at it, then looked at the child who was staring at him eagerly.
"Did you sense it?" he asked.
Number One tilted his head slightly, sensing something? Was it something hidden inside?
He nodded his head, pointed at the clay can with one little finger, touched his belly with the other little hand, and opened his mouth.
Su Ci looked at his actions and frowned slightly, not sure if she understood what he wanted to express.
"This thing is not edible." He said tentatively.
Number One shook his head, pointed at the glass and nutrient solution noodles on the dining table, and then pointed at the can in Su Ci's hand.
Su Ci watched him dancing with great interest, and finally said, "It's hungry, right?"
Seeing that the breeder finally understood what he wanted to express, No. 1's face showed joy, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
He can still pronounce such simple syllables with a soft baby voice, which is so cute.
Su Ci put the can of clay back on the coffee table and looked at the child in front of him with some surprise.
The child has a pair of big black and red eyes, and his hair is pure black with a hint of red. Apart from that, there is nothing special about his appearance.
So, what kind of dead thing could give birth to such a spirit?
Being able to sense the vitality of the land and "hear" the voices of plants is not something that any spirit can do.
Su Ci didn't understand it for the time being. Seeing that the child's face gradually showed uneasiness as he looked at him, he restrained his expression and looked at the box of soil.
Spiritual seeds are naturally different from ordinary seeds.
Ordinary seeds contain the nutrients needed for seed germination. Only after the roots and cotyledons grow do they begin to gradually absorb the required energy from the outside world.
In order for spiritual seeds to germinate, in addition to suitable temperature and clean water, they also need to absorb a large amount of nutrients.
The two spirit seeds he buried last night have awakened and started to absorb the nutrients needed for growth from the outside world, but the poor soil obviously cannot meet the needs of these two spirit seeds.
So starting from the morning, they keep releasing hunger signals——
This is just an instinctive appeal and complaint, not that they have the ability to communicate with the outside world.
Su Ci still remembered that when he was traveling in the human world, he once heard a spiritual plant master say that the embryos in spiritual seeds are very delicate babies. After waking up from a deep sleep, they will quickly wither and die if their needs are not met.
At that time, he didn't care about it.
He even stepped lightly on the land in front of the spiritual plant master, and then the spiritual seeds that the spiritual plant master had just planted began to sprout one after another.
However, in the blink of an eye, the originally bare land was covered with various spiritual plants. These spiritual plants even waved their dense branches as if to ask for credit, as if to show him how well they grew, which made the spiritual plant master stunned.
Now, it is difficult to have the grand occasion of that day.
Could this be... what mortals call the cycle of fortune? Su Ci shook his head and took out the bag of solid fertilizer from the space button.
The multifunctional maintenance liquid is quite expensive, so he plans to try solid fertilizer first. After all, he has to exchange his canned beef for points, so he might as well save as much as possible.
After removing the packaging of the solid fertilizer, you can see the white particles inside. Each particle is round and has a dull surface. There is a plastic spoon in the bag, and one spoon can scoop up about a dozen particles.
Su Ci looked at the instructions on the fertilizer, first sprinkled a spoonful of solid fertilizer on the soil in the can, then went to the kitchen to get a cup of spiritual water purified by the formation, and poured it evenly on the surface of the soil.
Those white fertilizer particles dissolved in water. By the time Su Ci finished watering, they had all melted and seeped into the loose soil.
Number One lay down beside the keeper, his eyes fixed on his movements. Then he discovered that as the keeper poured the clean water in his hand, the sound of the hungry creature in the mud can suddenly changed.
"Oh my!"
This is the very brisk exclamation it makes when the breeder is watering it, and then...
"Long-long-long-long-"
"Long-long-long-long-"
The weak consciousness, tender yet full of determination, was constantly released to the surroundings, as if it was holding back its strength and growing outwards vigorously.
Number One watched curiously, so, is this little guy in the soil growing up?
"Well, it seems possible."
Su Ci touched his chin. He also noticed the changes in the spirit seed. However, when he sensed the consciousness released by the spirit seed, he frowned.
What's the point of just shouting slogans? Even if you shout, the seed coat won't break.
As the spirit of the earth, Su Ci had seen too many plants grow rapidly and bear fruit in front of him, so he was naturally not satisfied with the growth rate of this small spirit seed.
Of course, the little spirit seed buried in the soil cannot sense Su Ci's thoughts, so it is still constantly yearning to release growth signals.
"Long-long-long-long..."
It's like a little kid who wants to shout to the whole world about it and get everyone to pay attention to it before even starting to work.
Su Ci curled her lips, deciding to ignore this spoiled brat. She turned to look at the child beside her and said, "You should have seen it this morning, too, that small piece of land in the yard?"
Number One nodded.
"There's also a spirit seed buried in there, and it's been crying out for food since this morning." Su Ci scooped up a spoonful of solid fertilizer. "Here, go add some to it. Just like I did just now, sprinkle these little balls on the soil. Do you know how to do it?"
Number One took the spoonful of solid fertilizer he handed over and nodded.
I know, he knows what to do!
"Then go quickly."
Su Ci patted his head, and the little guy grinned and turned around impatiently. As soon as he took a step, his figure disappeared from Su Ci's sight.
Behind the nursery building, the child appeared next to the land. The spoonful of fertilizer in his hand was just within the spiritual shield and was not exposed to pollutants in the outside air.
Number One looked around blankly, and he unexpectedly ran out all of a sudden!
His eyes fell on the land in front of him, a hint of joy appeared on his little face, then he bent down, recalling the breeder's actions just now, and sprinkled the solid fertilizer in the spoon evenly on the soil.
After sprinkling the water, I found that the faint consciousness was still shouting: "Hungry...hungry..."
Number One thought about it and realized that solid fertilizer seemed to need to be melted before it could be absorbed by the soil...
Thinking that he still had to water the plants, No. 1 stood up, turned around, and appeared again in the breeder's dormitory No. 303, standing next to the sofa in the living room.
He was not yet accustomed to such a change of scene, and was inevitably a little dazed. When he looked up, he met the breeder's approving gaze.
The child paused, his face slightly flushed. He raised his hands high and handed the spoon back to Su Ci.
Su Ci took the spoon, and the child was already pointing at the cup of water on the coffee table, his mouth open.
"Well, go and water it."
Su Ci handed him the glass of water, and the child hugged the glass and disappeared again.
Looking at the child who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Su Ci couldn't help but sigh. It was only less than half a day, and the speed was so fast...
In the yard, Number One squatted outside the spirit shield, holding the glass that was a little too big for him with difficulty, and poured the water in the glass onto the solid fertilizer particles.
"Oh! Oh!"
As the clear water was poured, the fertilizer particles were integrated into the soil, and the spirit seeds buried in the soil cheered with joy.
When No. 1 finished watering, the cheers stopped, but the plant did not grow as vigorously as the spiritual seeds in the room.
Number One frowned as he watched the quieted spirit seed. He observed patiently for a while, and slowly, he "heard" an unusual movement.
“Huff… Wuuuu…”
Number One listened to the long, comfortable breathing and blinked in confusion. Is this... snoring in sleep? He couldn't help but listen carefully again.
“Huff… Wuuuu…”
Although the consciousness was immature and weak, it was full of peace and leisure. One could tell from the sound that he was sleeping comfortably.
Compared to the little spirit in the room who works very hard as soon as he hears something, this little lazy guy!
