Chapter 1290 Cocoa Tree Orchard

Blaze took out the things in the warehouse and threw them at the back of Kulene's head. He was very angry. It turned out that Kulene had increased the difficulty of obtaining the things manually and offended him.

"You said I tied you up and went to invite you to join the party, but I couldn't get a cocoa tree as a reward."

"..." Kullene fell silent and did not answer.

First of all, if we rule out the tiny possibility that Kullene was hurt by these words, the only possibility is that Kullene is feeling guilty.

Blaze patted the chicken's neck, and the chicken immediately quickened its pace and kept pace with the queen bird. Sure enough, Kullene's face was covered in cold sweat, and this expression was a true god-level guilty conscience.

"What on earth did you do, man?!"

"This, this is not because the yield of a single cocoa tree is not enough. I thought, at least this much is needed." Kullene made a small gesture with both hands, "So I went there dozens of times more. Basically, apart from passing the normal trial, I did everything I could."

"You don't leave yourself any way out!"

"It's hard to change one's nature." Kullene smiled awkwardly, but then he patted his chest and said seriously, "But I can guarantee that I didn't use my physical body! This is what my lousy father taught me, not to date gods. I will not forget it, and I will not let myself fall into this quagmire."

"The other person is a goddess?"

"No, whether the other party is a man or a woman, a human or an animal has nothing to do with using the body. The body is not such an inconvenient thing!"

Kullene became inexplicably proud, and Blaze just felt a headache, a headache in every aspect.

"Then the cocoa tree has no reproductive function?"

"If there was, would I still risk my life dozens of times to go into the dragon's den and the tiger's lair?" Kulene shrugged and waved to the two of them, "Follow me, and you will know after you take a look at the scene."

Kulene attached great importance to the cocoa orchard, which was the source of his first pot of gold and for which he risked his life. Not only was it hidden very deeply, but there were also many disguised entrances and traps.

Even with a guide, it took them quite some time to reach the cocoa orchard.

This is a warm and humid land, where the cocoa orchard quietly unfolds like a green painting.

What first attracted Blaze's attention was not the cocoa orchard, but the light source in the cave that made it look like daytime.

In the center of the cave, there is a small sun.

Following the rays of the sun, the cocoa trees are neatly arranged in the orchard, with thick and upright trunks, dark brown bark, and dense lines on the surface. Their crowns are broad and dense, and the oval leaves form a cloud-like crown.

At the junction of the trunk and branches, fruits are hanging. These fruits are rough in appearance, with uneven lines all over the surface. Some are not yet ripe and appear green, while others are ripe and have turned golden or dark red.

Blazer had never seen that kind of plant before, it was probably a cocoa tree.

The ground of the orchard is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and humus, and pairs of snow-white bare feet leave footprints on it. They are a group of goddess-like girls, wearing snow-white feather clothes and shuttling between the cocoa trees, carefully and seriously checking the quality of each cocoa tree to ensure that the cocoa trees are in perfect condition.

On the other side, there were smaller girls who looked younger, holding baskets that were bigger than themselves. The baskets contained ripe cocoa beans, and they brought the baskets aside, then got inside and threw out the unqualified cocoa beans.

Those thrown away cocoa beans will rot over time and become fertilizer for the earth, making the earth more nutritious.

After arriving at the cocoa bean orchard, the Queen Bird couldn't wait to shake Kulene off her body, then shed her bird and beast appearance and turned into a beautiful mature woman.

Compared to the heavy and solemn feathers of the girls in the orchard, the feathers of the queen bird were much bolder, generously exposing the healthy wheat-colored skin. The other fast-walking ostriches also shed their bird and animal appearances and turned into women with different but quite bold clothes.

"Three age groups, three jobs, guarding the orchard, taking care of the fruit trees, and picking the fruits." Herbie nodded thoughtfully. Although the operation method of this cocoa orchard is quite old-fashioned, it also fits the positioning of chocolate as a high-end product. Every step has labor costs.

Unlike the mature fast-walking ostrich that was disgusted with Kulene, the fast-walking ostrich in the appearance of a little girl immediately ran over happily after seeing Kulene, chirped and climbed all over Kulene's body, calling "Dad" one after another.

"When I think about how you will be rude to me in a few years, I feel like crying." After enjoying the company of the cute children for a while, Kullene hugged them and introduced Blaze and Herbie to the cocoa orchard.

"I tried to grow cocoa trees myself a long time ago, including the recent sea of ​​golden apple trees. I took a cocoa tree branch and a cocoa bean and tried to graft and plant them, but the result was also a failure."

"Even the golden apples can't make the cocoa trees reproduce, and these cocoa trees won't wither. This can only prove that this is a special plant that has deviated from the normal natural cycle."

"It won't die, so it doesn't need to reproduce."

Blaze picked up a cocoa bean from the ground and examined it carefully. He tried to use the prayer he got from the Perfect Druid to make the seeds grow, but the cocoa bean did not respond.

"It's really special." Blazer handed the cocoa beans to Herbie. "Is this the reason why chocolate has never become popular?"

"No, it's not because I can't bear to part with the fact that chocolate is a high-end product. Please, do you think those noble lords are very generous when it comes to buying chocolate?" Kullene said very directly, he spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"Besides, I don't have the final say on this [high-end product] business. The chocolate doesn't taste that good. What's important is the feeling that the nobles enjoy [only they can eat rare goods]. If I take the initiative to expand the scope and output of the business and lower the price of chocolate, it will make these old customers unhappy and ruin their experience."

"This not only violates the contract, but also harms the customer experience. This is not what a qualified businessman would do."

"Does this mean you're not going to help with our Valentine's Day event?"

"No, I really want to help you, but I can't take the initiative to help." Kullene shook her fingers with a smile on her face.

"I am just handing over an old business as a person who is about to retire. What the young people will do is their business."

"How about this explanation?"
