Chapter 041 Happy Community (IV)
Bai Tao looked up at the sky, and countless lines of varying thickness disappeared into the clouds.
Bai Tao's thread was also among them, but she could only see other people's threads but not her own.
Through the line, the copy announced new rules and also controlled the actions of the copy residents.
After being baptized by my boss, this level of manipulation is like scratching an itch.
Bai Tao could easily suppress the upturned corners of her mouth and resist the copy.
But Bai Tao did not do so. Let's look at the fate of the outlier. Bai Tao saw the fat lady who left before her, now lying in the soil, acting as fertilizer for the flowers.
She controlled the upward movement of the corners of her mouth and smiled happily, just like the people around her.
Every resident of the Xingfu Community has a happy smile on his face. If you look closely, you will find that the curvature of the corners of each resident's mouth is the same.
The facial muscles seemed dead, with happiness, joy and delight mixed together, giving people a strange stiffness, as if the whole face was fake.
——The residents just wore a smiling mask.
Bai Tao also put on the same smiling mask on her face, and her aura began to converge with that of the residents.
The residents accepted her, and there were about 40 residents in the small square.
A halfling who looked to be the same age as Bai Tao stepped forward and said, "Hello."
This is a greeting. It seems that Article 2 of the "Code of Conduct for Residents of Xingfu Community" has not completely become invalid.
She blocked Bai Tao's way and said, "The community is holding an anniversary celebration and has requisitioned the square. Non-participants are not allowed to enter."
"How do we get through the square?"
"Join our activities," said the halfling.
"What activities are there?"
The halfling took out the event poster.
"Soilless cultivation"
——Use your own flesh and blood to cultivate flowers
"The most beautiful gardener"
- Use scissors to trim the branches of the shrubs and trees that are dancing in disorder
"Living specimen"
——Cosplaying as a plant, turning the participant into a plant from the inside out
All three activities are related to plants, and the Happy Community has become the shape of plants.
Now the importance of the garden has increased.
"That sounds good." Bai Tao asked, "Which event are you attending?"
Halfling: "I'm a staff member."
The half-man was not wearing property management work clothes, nor did she have the logo of the residents' committee on her body. Instead, she was wearing the badge of the XX Plant Squad.
Even more eye-catching is the line behind her head.
The threads of other people draw nutrients from the host, while the threads of this halfling deliver nutrients.
——In a sense, the halfling is the spokesperson chosen by the copy.
The halfling said: "If you participate in the event, you will be rewarded. If you win first place, there will be a surprise prize waiting for you."
"A surprise prize?"
"Yes, a wish. It can be any wish."
"The most beautiful gardener"
Bai Tao chose this one. Among the three activities, the most beautiful gardener has requirements for martial arts value, and Bai Tao happened to be very confident in her martial arts value.
The moment the registration was successful, Bai Tao's eyes blurred and countless shrubs and trees appeared out of thin air.
"Dear residents, the selection of the most beautiful gardener is about to begin. Let us welcome contestant number one—"
There was warm applause.
"The game begins—"
There were a total of 6 contestants, representing six buildings. Bai Tao represented Building No. 3 in the competition.
The bush in front of each contestant is his or her target. There are 6 contestants and 6 types of bushes.
Bai Tao matched the six bushes with the photos in the plan one by one.
In front of Bai Tao is a Photinia fraseri. The plan says that this is the favorite plant of the residents of Building No. 3. In front of other contestants, it is also the favorite plant of the building they represent.
The Most Beautiful Gardener event is to select the most skillful gardener.
After listening to the host's words, an idea immediately emerged in Bai Tao's mind. If there was only one contestant left, that person would naturally be the final winner.
Bai Tao didn't take any action. The first one to try something new always has to take risks. Bai Tao believed that the "simple-minded" residents of Dream City would not let her down. She just had to wait for the commotion to happen.
The Photinia fraseri in front of the white peach had not been trimmed for a long time, and its branches grew freely, causing them to become deformed, with tall and short branches. The tall branches pointed straight up to the sky, while the short branches could not bear the weight and dragged on the ground. Its size was much larger than that of an ordinary shrub, and was about the same size as a tree.
It is growing very well, has a beautiful red afro, and has a very bad temper.
As soon as Bai Tao took a step closer, Heather began to scream: "Get out, get out!"
He was very uncooperative, swinging the branches crazily, the tops of the branches were like knife blades, Bai Tao suspected that even a slight touch would cause a piece of flesh to fall off his body.
Bai Tao tried to communicate, but Photinia completely ignored Bai Tao.
As soon as you get close, you will be attacked.
It is difficult for Bai Tao to get close to the Photinia without damaging the body of the Photinia, let alone trim its branches and leaves.
Bai Tao was not the only one who couldn't get close. Other contestants encountered the same problem. They were targeted by the bushes and couldn't get close.
Demons were dancing wildly and branches and leaves were flying everywhere.
The bushes aimed at the contestants, but their accuracy needed to be improved. They missed several times and fell to the ground, raising a lot of dirt and dust.
At this moment, not only the contestants but also the onlookers outside were blocked from view.
The contestant next to him pointed his claws at Bai Tao's comb.
Baitao: "?"
Does she look weak?
Bai Tao endures the consequences for plants, but is not so polite to the contestants.
He used the garden shears to attract hatred in front of the Photinia fraseri, successfully attracted the attack, dodged the attacker's claws, went around behind him, and pushed him gently.
I feel chilled to the bone, but my heart is also high.
A hole was made in the attacker's chest. The Photinia fraseri laughed and its roots surged out of the flowerpot and pierced into the corpse.
The dust cleared, and only three contestants were left standing.
Bai Tao knew that the Dream City had a "simple folk custom", and this was still the case even in the dungeon.
"Contestant 1, Contestant 4, and Contestant 5 are out!"
The host announced in a super loud voice.
"The competition continues. Which building will win the title of the most beautiful gardener? Let's wait and see!"
The signal given by the host made the battle more intense.
——Unlimited activities for the most beautiful gardener
In other words, you can take action.
The remaining two contestants looked at Bai Tao, and a hint of contempt appeared in their eyes at the same time. The two of them started fighting, completely ignoring Bai Tao.
Baitao: "..."
Does she really look weak?
Okay, be weak if you will. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.
Continue to fight with Photinia fraseri. The host never said that after all the contestants die, the remaining one will be the winner.
A two-pronged approach is safer.
After dodging the branches again, Bai Tao suddenly noticed a small detail: there was something wrong with the leaves of Photinia fraseri!
There is not one plant in front of you, but two. On the branches of the Photinia fraseri grows another climbing plant - the coral vine.
The two plants were similar in color, and Bai Tao couldn't tell them apart at first glance.
But it’s not too late to see it now.
"One fertilizer is not enough for you and the coral vine to grow!"
A gap appeared in Photinia's defenses, and Peach Blossom crossed over the gap and cut off its longest and most obtrusive branches.
Nice, much better looking.
This was the first time that Photinia experienced human cunning, and it went mad.
It wanted to beat Bai Tao to death, but Bai Tao had already run away.
"Do you want to get some sun?"
Bai Tao's words calmed Photinia down.
Bai Tao had noticed a long time ago that the small square was filled with plants, and even the trees could only be confined to small pots. Photinia fraseri was a shrub, and it could not get any sunlight under the shadow of the trees.
Therefore, it can only strive to grow upwards and try to break through the barrier of tall trees.
The struggle of plants is far more brutal than that of animals.
Bai Tao didn't believe that Photinia fraseri allowed the coral vine to grow on its body voluntarily.
"I can help you get out of this square and back to your home."
Bai Tao said so and used her talent. It was the first time that Bai Tao used Memory Confuser on a monster, and it was a plant at that.
The photinia wavered, and the branches whipped less resolutely.
Memory confuser, the longer the time, the better the effect. Now it's time for Photinia fraseri to think about it.
The two contestants next to them are about to decide the winner.
The fisherman appears.
He picked up the gardening shears dropped by the dead contestant, aimed and fired, and the shears flew out of his hand and hit the surviving contestant's head.
With a little bit of accuracy and great force, the last contestant fell to the ground and died before the smug look on his face disappeared.
"Oh, there is only one contestant left, number 3."
The host stood on the periphery and asked, "Excuse me, contestant No. 3, are you ready to end this activity?"
What an ending! The host didn’t directly announce her as the winner. There must be something fishy going on.
The competition for the most beautiful gardener ultimately comes down to the plants. The other contestants didn’t even touch half a leaf with their scissors, but Bai Tao did.
But the current state of Photinia is far from the most beautiful.
If she left now, she would probably be thrown into the soil as fertilizer like the fat lady.
Dragging the bodies of the two contestants to the red-leaved heather.
"Hey, do you want these two fertilizers?"
If Photinia had eyes, it would have turned red by now.
The twigs stirred when she couldn't see.
Taking a step back, the plan to rob fertilizer failed.
Photinia: "Can you really let me bask in the sun?" It craves fertilizer, and it craves the sun even more.
"The winner gets one wish, which I can use on you."
Photinia fraseri couldn't resist the temptation and chose to cooperate with Bai Tao.
Release white peach into the territory and trim the branches.
During the pruning, they tried to chop off the comb on her head twice, tried to strangle her with branches three times, and tried to root her inside her five times.
In short, the cooperation between the man and the tree went smoothly, except for some minor incidents.
Bai Tao removed the coral vines from the red-leafed photinia, and with a pair of scissors in each hand, she cut the body back to its original shape, and then slightly modified it to become a smiling face.
——In the "Garden Construction Plan for Happy Community", the red-leafed Photinia was trimmed into a smiling face.
Now the residents of Xingfu Community all have smiling masks on their faces, and the smiling faces of Photinia fraseri are a complete positive buff.
Kill the contestants√
Prune shrubs√
Forced Photinia to praise her as the most beautiful gardener√
If she isn’t the most beautiful gardener, who else could it be?
Bai Tao raised her hand to indicate the end of the game.
The host came over and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, our contestant number three is a complete newcomer. The shape of this red-leafed photinia is not that round, and the arc of the smile is not enough..."
He kept talking very loudly.
The host said with certainty: "It is totally not up to the standard of the most beautiful gardener!"
"Shh——" the onlookers cheered.
Host: "What should we do with unqualified gardeners?"
The onlookers shouted, "Make it fertilizer! Make it fertilizer!"
As he spoke, he changed direction and grabbed Bai Tao.
