Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"You again? Want to steal again?" Alice exclaimed, frowning.

Didn't this guy just run away? Why is he back again?

Moreover, there was a malicious aura emanating from his body. Although it was much weaker than before, there was still a little bit of it.

"Oh?"

Ai Lisuzi's words confirmed Tang Han's idea.

The time it took for Ailisuko to look at the door and see Tang Han was almost the same as the time it took for others to hear Tang Han calling out, then look for him based on the direction of the voice, and finally see him.

This means that she only knew that there was someone in this direction, and like everyone else, she had to stare for a long time before she could discover Tang Han.

Furthermore, Tang Han had clearly borrowed the money and was planning to make the purchase normally, but Li Suzi actually said that he "wanted to steal things again"?

It seems that her mind reading ability is also fake. She just knows that Tang Han wants to do something that is not good for her.

Then Tang Han would not be afraid anymore.

"Can this dress of yours reduce your presence?" Alice suddenly asked.

While Tang Han was analyzing why Ai Li Su Zi was able to discover him, Ai Li Su Zi was also analyzing why Tang Han was able to become invisible.

You need to cover your whole body, if you stare long enough you will see...

Airi Suzuko finally came to the conclusion that the black-clad man's clothes could reduce his presence.

"Guess..." Tang Han didn't want to answer this question.

Ever since Tang Han was ambushed from behind by two senior trainers a long time ago, he never told anyone about the effects of his clothes, in order to prevent anyone from having bad intentions towards them.

The best response to hide the truth is "Guess."

Neither admit nor deny, and no matter what the other party says, do not reveal any more information. This will make it difficult for the other party to see your thoughts clearly and make them fall into an indecisive situation.

On this basis, Tang Han also added the tactic of changing the subject.

"Then you can see something similar to malice emanating from me, right?" Tang Han asked in return.

"Yes."

Although Airi Suko saw that Tang Han was trying to change the subject, she was different from Tang Han. She had no intention of hiding the truth about her ability, but instead wanted to expose it.

She reached down to the bridge of her nose and plucked a...

Glasses?

In fact, she had been wearing a pair of transparent glasses tonight, but because the environment was too dark, no one noticed.

Ai Li Suzi placed the glasses on the table and introduced them to Tang Han with a smile, using the same tone as when she introduced various products before:

"These are a pair of [Intention Glasses] I developed. They can judge a person's general intentions and mood by the color and shape of their breath."

"White represents kindness, pink represents love, and black represents malice..."

"Red is anger, blue is anxiety, yellow is happiness..."

"A heart shape represents like, a triangle represents normal, and a cross represents dislike..."

“The degree of intention can also be displayed numerically.”

"The other customers are all white triangles with higher values. They are kind to me because I've helped them a lot by giving them useful potions."

"And you..."

"It's always been a black triangle. Although the value is lower now than when I first discovered you ten minutes ago, you still have ill intentions towards me."

Airi Suko knocked on the table. Although she still had a smile on her face, her tone revealed her dissatisfaction with Tang Han's malicious attitude towards her.

The general meaning is:

What? You still want to steal my things?

"Ah, this..." Tang Han scratched his head awkwardly.

I won't steal anymore, but I still want to report to Rudolph that Elly Soko is secretly running a black market after I buy the things...

Can this kind of malice be detected?

"I suddenly want to ask, could the Black Heart be..."

Elesako smiled slightly.

"Yandere~"

155. Unlimited Exploitation

"Would you like a pair? These [Intention Glasses] are actually a black market item, but they're not sold publicly."

Ai Lisuzi pressed her fingers on the bridge of her glasses on the table and pushed them towards Tang Han.

"Ah? These glasses can be bought?" Tang Han was shocked.

He thought that such a high-end item was not for sale and was left by Ali Hayabusa for her own use.

So it turns out that props can be obtained?!

"How much?" Tang Han asked anxiously.

To be honest, Tang Han really wanted glasses that could see other people's general intentions.

If you buy one and wear it, you can always observe the intentions of people around you, and maybe it can help them avoid some danger at critical moments in the future.

All I saw was Elissa holding up a finger.

"Ten million is needed."

"Forget it, let's talk about it next time..." Tang Han waved his hand.

He really couldn't afford this price.

But you can keep an eye on it and buy it next time when you have money.

"Okay." Ali Suko took back her glasses, put them on again, and then looked at Tang Han for a moment.

At this time, there was no longer any black aura emanating from Tang Han's body.

"Huhu, now the malice has completely disappeared."

It seems that her judgment was correct. The first time the black-clad man in front of her had high maliciousness, it was because he had no money and wanted to steal things, while the second time he had low maliciousness, it was because he had money, but after buying things, he reported her black market activities.

So all Elise needed to do was to take out something that the man in black wanted but didn't have enough money to buy, and she could make the man in black give up the idea of ​​reporting her.

Because if the black market disappears now, the man in black won’t be able to get the glasses, which would be a loss.

After all, interests are always one of the key elements in interpersonal communication.

The fact that Ali Suko has been able to open so many black markets in the academy and has not been shut down shows that she does have some skills in judging people and bribing them.

"What do you want? You are the last customer today, I can give you a discount~" said Ali Hayabusa with a smile.

"Discount?!" Tang Han's eyes lit up, and his favorability towards Eliseko increased a lot.

"Excuse me, do you have any potions that can shorten the growth cycle of plants?"

"Oh?" Tang Han's words surprised Ai Lisuzi.

Generally speaking, if the customer is a horse girl, she will basically buy a potion that can help her live a happy life with her trainer. However, the man in black in front of him is different. What he wants is something related to plants?

Could it be that... she/he is not a horse girl?

Or.....

S/he wants to use the plant potion on the trainer?

"Let me remind you first, potions used on plants cannot be used on humans. Just like mushroom growth agents can't make a trainer's mushrooms grow bigger, plant potions have no effect on humans and can even be fatal..."

"Uh...I know this..." Tang Han scratched his head in confusion.

Why did Airi Hayako specifically say this? Has a horse girl ever used this before?!

"So there is?"

“Yes, there is…”

Elissa touched her chin and thought for a while, then stood up and walked to the pile of medicines with "Do Not Touch" signs on the wall of the laboratory, and pulled out a test tube filled with light green liquid.

"But as for the actual effect...it's better if you see it with your own eyes..."

Alice held the test tube and walked to the corner of the laboratory. She dug out a flower pot from the pile of miscellaneous items and placed it on the counter.

Then she found a bag of mung beans from under the counter, scattered a few and buried them in the soil of the flowerpot.

"Look carefully, this potion has an effect."

After giving a reminder, Airihakuko poured all the light green liquid in the test tube into the flowerpot.

The moment the potion touched the soil, the soil and the flowerpot burst into a dazzling green light.

The light enveloped the entire laboratory and lasted for ten seconds before disappearing!

Then.....

And then nothing...

The room returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Ai Lisuzi pointed at the empty flower pot except for the soil and asked Tang Han:

"What do you see?"

"Huh?" Tang Han was surprised.

Is there anything besides glow?!

But since Airi Hayabusa said so, it must be true.

So Tang Han widened his eyes and carefully looked for the differences between the current flowerpot and the one a few seconds ago.

But no matter how hard he observed, he couldn't see any changes in the things in the flowerpot after applying the medicine...

Tang Han reached out and touched the soil in the flowerpot and found that the soil had become much drier, as if all the moisture in it had been absorbed away.

"It seems you have discovered..."

Alisuko took out a shovel from somewhere, dug up the soil, and dug out the mung beans she had just planted.

It was then that Tang Han discovered that the mung beans had actually taken root and sprouted, but when they had just grown a little, they withered for some reason, and their appearance was shriveled, as if they were severely lacking in water.

Airihaku explained:

"The potion is working. It stimulates the seeds' respiration and photosynthesis, thus accelerating plant growth."

"But that's just a stimulus. The potion doesn't provide the seeds with the water, inorganic substances, or sunlight they need. With rapid growth, their consumption increases significantly, so the soil's moisture is sucked dry, causing the seeds to wither."

"Then wouldn't it be enough to prepare enough nutrient solution and sunlight for the seeds in advance?" Tang Han asked.

"I've tried this method a long time ago, and it didn't work." Alice shook her head.

"Plants that have been treated with growth enhancers are actually much like horsegirls in heat. They both frantically want to extract what they want. The only difference is that the former want nutrients and sunlight, while the latter want to extract their trainers."

“But there is a difference between the two.”

"Although ponygirls will exploit their trainers like crazy when they are in heat, they still have love and will stop if they find their trainers have been bent unconscious."

"But plants don't have that. They just take nutrients without limit, regardless of their own limits."

"So once you put several times more than a plant needs in its environment, eventually it's going to take too much and explode."

"The plants I've used to test this possibility have either drowned due to too much water in the nutrient solution, or burned to death due to overpowered fluorescent lights..."

"The only solution is to add some special factor to this potion to limit the plants' unlimited absorption."

"But I haven't researched this limiting factor yet, let alone added it to the drug. So, right now, this plant growth agent is a semi-finished product."

"Although my next research plan is to perfect this herbal medicine, it may take a month to successfully perfect it..."

"Such a half-finished product... do you still want it?"

156. Unexpected Visitor

"Yes! Of course!"

Even though the effect of this plant growth agent is not as good as Tang Han imagined, it is still the only hope now.
