Looking up from the Shawen Valley, one could see the sun shining down from the clouds. The surrounding mountains were so tall that they pierced through the clouds. It was precisely these mountains that created this rare warm granary in the Northlands.
Nature's uncanny workmanship created this land of natural miracles. The mountains and forests blocked out the cold winds and winds, while the rain and underground rivers brought rich nutrients to the land, creating this rare granary in the Northlands.
The Northlands wasn't a land that produced food. In other places, one harvest per year was already the limit. But here, with the help of mages, it was possible to have three harvests per year. Not only that, due to the abundance of nutrients and a suitable climate, the quality of the crops here was also quite high.
This was also the reason why we absolutely had to come here. The cultivation of new crops couldn't be separated from the actual planting process. Ten years of effort in other regions would only be enough to select ten generations of improved crops. But here, it would be at least thirty generations. The difference between one generation of improved crops would be enormous, and the difference between twenty or so generations would be even greater.
"Can't you directly use magic to accelerate the ripening process?"
"… I really don't know how you managed to pass the Life Theory exam back in the day. Using magic to accelerate the ripening process and growing real crops are two completely different things. Magic infused with the will of the caster will directly distort the growth of the plant. If you want to see a normal life's growth process, you have to do it step by step."
"You still don't know how he passed the exam? It was all because of cheating. If it weren't for his amazing cheating skills, he would have long since failed most of his classes and directly been expelled from school with that wooden brain of his that was basically zero comprehension of the elements. "
After waking up from her long hibernation, Heloise entered a phase where she was overly energetic. She was currently badmouthing me while lying on my head and pulling on my hair to make a furball.
"Teacher Heloise, with your current appearance … could it be that your physical body's form will affect your soul?"
The silly cat suddenly paused upon being reminded of this. Only then did she realize that her behavior was no different from a real cat's. She immediately covered her face with her paws and was speechless.
"Pfft, of course not! Her cat form is only one of her disguises. She's just addicted to pretending to be a cat … Silly cat, you actually dare to bite me!"
Alright then, after I used reality to show her what it meant to cause trouble from the mouth, Heloise used her actions to show me what it meant to become angry from embarrassment.
"A pet cat dares to ambush its master? Are you rebelling? Damn cat, you haven't ruled the world yet. "
The silly cat and I immediately started fighting each other. Just as I was about to obtain victory by relying on my size, I heard Amelia's faint voice.
"Your relationship is really good."
"Who would be on good terms with him/her!"
Alright then, at the very least, we agreed on this point. In order to prove this point, and in order to make Heloise's explanation the truth, I grabbed the cat by its neck and spun it around eighteen times in hell. As expected, I received a delightful screech, followed by a stunned dead cat.
Compared to the past, the awakened Silly Cat's mimicry had become more realistic. From her appearance, she had evolved from a Meow Alien cub into an adult black cat. Her originally withered cat fur had become glossy and smooth.
After successfully devouring the SemiGod Equipment 'Dark God's Breath of Death', Heloise had finally begun to display her potential as a top-notch Magic Pet. While her appearance had become more luxurious and elegant, the silly cat had undergone an even more profound transformation in a more concealed location.
【Magic Pet: Heloise (Mother of Greed), Race: Special Slime, Strength: 14, Agility: 10, Stamina: 35, Intelligence: 30, Will: 25, Charm: Undetermined. Job: LV37 Mage. Overall Evaluation: Position. Race Ability: Special Transformation (Legendary), Splinter Greed Sub Body (Legendary)】
【Talent Ability: Special Transformation (Legendary): Transforming into a harmless cat is her weakest ability. She can choose a weapon form to transform. Currently, there are 2 forms available for you to choose: Staff (Breath of Death), Magic Sword (Pseudo – Pale Justice).】
【Talent Ability: Splinter Greed Sub Body (Legendary): Splinter a small Greed Sub Body. This Sub Body inherits a portion of Heloise's abilities and attributes. As long as it is within a certain range, this Sub Body will be completely under Heloise's control, acting as her eyes and ears. Current Number of Splits: 15417 – When one is unlucky, people tend to think that the black cat that brings misfortune is everywhere. However, for Heloise, it is not difficult to be everywhere. She will always turn into a crow/black cat form to mock your bad luck.】
【System Evaluation: This is your Magic Pet. However, she is constantly thinking about how to rebel within the limits of the contract. Don't be fooled by her appearance. As a Master Mage, even if she only has the strength of a Bronze-rank, she is still able to easily deal with those Gold-rank rookies. Furthermore, her extremely high basic attributes and shapeshifting ability allow her spells to be even more hidden and dangerous than before.】
【System Evaluation 2: She is far from being as weak and powerless as she appears to be. As for why she is hiding her strength, do you still need me to explain? Perhaps, she is very satisfied with your recent interactions, so she has decided to let you live after she succeeds in her rebellion … So, what are you waiting for? While you still have the upper hand, take care of this foolish Meow Alien.】
The quality of the Death Breath Scepter that is only in its Epic form has obviously decreased. Furthermore, the Power of Death that has been devoured has caused Heloise to become dangerous and powerful. Looking at the stats of the various abilities on the interface, looking at the increasing number of Greed Sub Bodies, I am starting to suspect that if I were to fall out with her and have a serious one on one fight with her, the one who would emerge victorious in the end would most likely not be me.
Putting aside the fact that she thinks that she has concealed her strength well, she has long exposed her true strength. I am also enjoying bullying the darned cat so blatantly. Despite having strength, she could only take out a notebook to record down her current situation in order to make me overlook her own fighting prowess.
In terms of strength, Heloise's experience and knowledge are what we rely on the most at the moment. Furthermore, she was the one who helped us choose the first batch of crops.
Of course, the more important reason is that Amelia and I lack common sense and limits in our research, so we need her to check and correct us.
"I have a good idea. Let's plant rice on a frog with moist skin, allowing animals and plants to coexist. I have even thought of a name for it, it's you! Wondrous Frog Seed! "
"Rejected! Putting aside the technical difficulty, the frog would probably die in a few days. Also, how are those things going to reproduce? "
"Then, let's plant it on a zombie. I heard that the rotting flesh of the dead is very nutritious to plants."
"Rejected! Who would dare to eat something like zombie rice! "
"Then …"
"If you dare to say zombie rice or zombie biscuits, I will smear your face with slime slime."
"Alright, I will go back and think about it."
Should I say that as expected of an expert? I thought that Amelia would be the same as me, viewing it as an interesting project and trying out the latest technology. In the end, she is the one who deals with it by the book.
"Special Huoder barley, Special Xier rice … That's it?"
"Yeah, the first batch of 27 types of mutated plants. We need to find the ones that are most compatible with the cold-resistant genes, as well as the ones that have the strongest adaptability to dry and frozen environments. After obtaining the most adaptable type, I will use magic to mutate it and choose the best mutation to enter into the second generation."
"Mutation isn't something that can be done in a day. Even with the greenhouse technology you provided, the most we can do is to speed up the replacement process. For the safety of ordinary people, we need to be careful … Why are you looking at me so strangely, did I say something wrong?"
I hurriedly shake my head. You didn't say anything wrong, but it doesn't match your image.
"'Use a grateful heart to thank Mother Earth for her blessings and treat her blessings cautiously.' Back then, when I was a saintess in the Church of Earth God in Xidril, my teacher taught me this. What a pity … "
Saintess? Or is it the saintess of the Church of Earth Mother who has a surprisingly good reputation? I can't help but sigh at Amelia's colorful past. I am a little curious as to how she got to where she is today.
"A pity?"
"A pity that she was deceived by a man. As a saintess of the church, she lost her chastity and was naturally expelled from the church. The worst part is that that man abandoned her and said to her, 'I was just playing with you. Men are naturally interested in the identity of a saintess, but you aren't even a saintess now, so how can I give up my honor to fool around with you?' Not long after that, my teacher committed suicide. She died such an unhonorable death and was treated as a stain on the Church of Earth God. Even I, as the successor saintess and adopted daughter, was unable to attend her funeral. It can be said that her reputation was completely ruined. "
Beneath those casual words is a bone-piercing hatred.
"Did you take revenge for her?"
"I killed that man's entire family, but he managed to escape. Even now, I still can't do anything to him …"
"Now? He's still alive? "
"'Dragon Hunter' Damose. He's the first generation Damose, his adopted son. I've already killed the second generation Damose. One day, I'll …"
This isn't the first time I've heard of this name. Isn't this the same name Marsolit's enemy? Recalling the information I obtained from the old Ottoman Emperor, I chuckle.
"… I'll plant some Grass of Undying in his bones and cut off a piece of his flesh every day to feed him …"
Amelia's eyes are bloodshot as she says the torture she imagines in her mind. It's obvious that she's on the verge of losing control. However, I pat her on the shoulder.
"There'll be a day when you take revenge. I'll help you. I'll make his death even more unhonorable and despairing than your adopted mother's."
Amelia pauses in surprise for a moment before taking two steps back to increase the distance between us. She stares at me with a vigilant gaze.
"Stop trying to get close to me. You won't be any better off. I've already investigated your past. Although you've never had a confirmed relationship with a woman, nor have you ever toyed with a woman before, the women you've provoked definitely owe you more emotional debts than that bastard. "
I gape. Where did this rumor come from? I've been single for three lifetimes already. If I really have emotional debts, why would I owe them? Wouldn't it be better to just pay off my debt and get rid of my single status?
"I, I didn't …"
"Hmph, stop with your flowery words. You playboys are the best at hoping for women. Can you even remember how many women have cried for you? Right now, we're only in a cooperative relationship. Don't even think about obtaining my trust. "
Alright then, I don't even know what to say anymore as I watch Amelia turn around and leave.
"Playboy, playboy! An old bachelor is actually being treated as a playboy … Pfft! I'm dying of laughter! "
This silly cat is actually rolling around in laughter, making me want to throw her out. Yep, the next moment, I did just that.
The silly cat is rolling around in the air, but she's still shouting.
"I'm so dizzy! I hate this feeling! I'll be back! "
"Hmph, I hate cat aliens who know how to speak human language."
I turn around and see a bunch of fawning faces.
"Lord, can we rest now? It's almost noon. "
"No, continue working for me, this is your punishment!"
Of course, since it's an agricultural experiment, there are naturally hardworking farmers. At this moment, the 'farmers' who are covered in mud and have been busy for an entire morning are a bunch of bosses from the various departments.
"Eaglestorm, I'm grateful for your support, but you can't do this even if you can't recruit students."
Hearing that, the legendary Druil's face turns red. Yesterday, after they couldn't recruit students no matter how hard they tried, under a certain person's creativity, they started to transform into bears, wolves and other animals to play with the youngsters, carrying them around to increase their favorability. But as they ran, under an indescribable primal drive, the famous specialty of Sulfur Mountain City once again appeared on the surface.
"Mom, what is that! Little bird? "
"Little bird your sister, it's obviously a small elephant!"
"Ah!! Hurry up and leave, don't look! "
"… Xueti, yesterday I heard that there are already people calling the Law the Church of Naked Running."
"That, boss, leave it to me. I will show you the innate farming skills of us Tauren. Our racial specialty is herbology + 5. Although I can't understand why the Tauren would need such a racial talent, but perhaps, it exists for today. Ohhhh, I'm burning up, I want to work hard! "
After becoming a beef jerky, this fellow finally restrained himself for two days. But this time, he is burning up at a new place and seeing this familiar wave of stripping, how can he restrain himself?
As for Grimm and the bunch of goblins … When they started to demonstrate their mechanical assembly skills, I should have been lazy with them. Those holes in the mines still have to be filled up.
As for Beifeng … Right, what did Beifeng do? Why is he being punished here?
"Beifeng, what did you do that day?"
"My lord, I've been wronged. This is like flying snow in June. I was just chatting with someone, but everyone inexplicably brought me in."
"Ah, Beifeng, you actually didn't do anything wrong? I'm sorry, I'm used to bringing you in as soon as I saw you. Then, I will deduct your punishment next time. "
Diana's apology isn't sincere at all, but the decision to deduct his punishment this time was unanimously approved by everyone. Obviously, no one thinks that Beifeng wouldn't commit a mistake again.
"Impossible, Beifeng actually didn't do anything wrong?"
"Nonsense, it must be a smokescreen. How can he not do anything?"
"Sigh! The world slandered me, bullied me, humiliated me, laughed at me, belittled me, despised me, hated me and lied to me, so what? Just bear with it, let it be, avoid it, bear with it, respect it and ignore it. Just wait a few more years and see how it goes. "
In the end, facing the criticism of the crowd, the innocent Dracon sighs. Leaving behind a sentence that makes people want to beat him up, he goes to accompany Xueti who is working hard.
