Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Of course, there is another reason why we think it is due to the poor local climate and environment. As time goes by, the survival rate is getting higher and higher, so we think it is a problem of poor local climate and environment."

"I see." Muirseth nodded, calmed down and tried to feel the emotions of the plants in front of him.

【Friends you haven't met yet? 】

[Is it an elf or a druid? 】

[Such pure water element, feels so comfortable~]

"What a clear meaning!" Muirseth immediately let go of his hand and looked at the Earth Soul Grass in front of him with some surprise. What was a druid?

They mentioned elves, so are druids another race? No, that's not right. Were they really created out of thin air by Xiyue?

"Don't worry about it." Xiyue patted Muirseth on the back, "Let's focus on the current problem."

"That's true." Muirseth nodded, touched the Earth Soul Grass again, and after hesitating for a moment, conveyed his thoughts to the Earth Soul Grass he touched.

【How are you? 】

After Muirseth conveyed his meaning to the earth soul grasses, the earth soul grasses immediately expressed doubts: [You spoke? Are you an elf? Are you an elf? So there are elves here? ]

[Well, I guess so. By the way, I want to ask why so many of you died? ]

[Because there is so little magic power here. ]

[It's really rare. We all tried our best. We didn't do it on purpose.]

[Hey, no, the magic power around me seems to have suddenly increased, everyone, grow up quickly! ]

In response to Muerses' questions, the Earth Soul Grass immediately gave its memories, and the response gave Muerses even more questions in his mind.

What is magic? And these are really just Alipay, their thoughts and emotions are conveyed with great accuracy.

In other words, did these plants walk into the wrong set? Not only are their IQs a bit strange, but how come there is a sudden magical setting?

Muirseth also immediately looked at Xiyue, who was in a sense the culprit behind him, and the look in his eyes seemed to ask him to give an explanation quickly.

Xiyue also gave Muerseth a look that indicated that they would explain it together later.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" The perfumer raised his head and looked at Muerseth who turned his head and stared at Xiyue. "Do you have any questions?"

"Not yet..." Muirseth shook his head and stood up. He finally knew why the Earth Soul Grass had withered on a large scale.

Although it is unclear what exactly this magic power refers to, it is probably because their growth lacks magic power, which leads to the large-scale withering.

But the problem is how to tell the perfumer about this thing. What is this magic? Muerseth doesn’t know either. Did these earth soul herbs really go to the wrong set?

"I can't figure out the specific reason so quickly." Muirseth evaded the question, "Let's look at the next plant."

"Hmm." The perfumer nodded and pointed to the plant in the nursery on the other side. "This is called Fire Red Lotus. It is a blood-activating plant. Its effect is better than most of the blood-activating plants we know of."

"It also doesn't require any special growing conditions, grows quickly, and more importantly, doesn't suffer from any acclimatization problems."

While the perfumer was still introducing, Muirseth pulled the sleeve of Xiyue beside him, and Xiyue understood and built a spiritual channel.

"Xiyue, you really don't know what's going on?"

"I know about Earth Soul Grass. Do you see the glowing nursery next to it?" Xiyue pointed to the nursery that was reflecting light in the sun. "That's the plant I got that has both therapeutic effects and can help the Earth Soul Grass alleviate its condition."

"It's just not that efficient, and it takes a little time."

"A little bit of time?" Muirseth looked at the nursery that was reflecting the light. "A little bit of time for ordinary people or a billion bits of time for immortals?"

Muirseth knew that the concept of time of the immortals was not exactly the same as that of ordinary people. For the immortals, they had a lot of time.

The concept of time has long been faded. Any time may be called a little time, but for ordinary people, it may take several years or even more than ten years to experience changes.

"It must be an ordinary person. I'm not an old monster." Xiyue smiled, "After another month or two of renewal, the Earth Soul Grass will no longer die."

"Hmm." Muirseth nodded perfunctorily, then looked at the perfumer and pointed at the glowing nursery. "May I ask, what is that glowing nursery over there?"

"Oh, that one is called crystal orchid." The perfumer looked in the direction of Muirseth's finger, "It's a herb that can calm the nerves."

"The reason for the glow is that when the crystal orchid grows to maturity and produces flowers, it secretes a kind of sticky substance, which hardens after covering the entire plant."

As he explained, the perfumer led the two people over there: "And the hardened goo will look like this, reflecting light in the sun."

"Is that so?" Muirseth walked to the nursery and squatted down, looking at the crystal orchid that was glowing in the sun. "It's really a strange plant."

"Won't this hardened goo covering the entire plant affect their respiration or something?"

"This is also the special feature of this plant." Hearing Muirseth's question, the perfumer looked a little embarrassed. "According to our research, they hardly breathe. In fact, based on the changes in the nutrient content of the soil, they don't even need much nutrition."

When saying this, the perfumers were not very confident, because it didn't sound right at all, and they were also confused when they discovered this.

After all, this thing doesn't sound reasonable no matter how you look at it. It doesn't conform to their botanical knowledge, but after many experiments, it seems to be the case.

After this result was confirmed, they were even more confused. After all, the growth of the ghost orchid was real, but the nutrients they consumed did not match their growth at all.

"...Is that so?" The corners of Muirseth's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xiyue who was pretending to whistle beside him, "What magical plants they are."

"Take your time to look, there are other things." Xiyue laughed twice. When she was looking for the plants she needed, she didn't care so much about how they grew. She only cared about whether they could survive in this place.

After all, medicinal efficacy is a basic need, and Xiyue also requires the plants to have strong medicinal efficacy. Rapid growth is to ensure the supply of medicinal efficacy, and they are also required to be able to survive on this land. If more requirements are made, it would be a bit too much for the plants.

After much selection, I only picked these few types. These plants grow fast enough and have strong medicinal effects.

The most important thing is that they can ensure survival on this land of Terra, and the adaptability of each plant on this land has reached more than 70%.

"It seems that I can indeed gain a lot today." Muirseth looked up at the many nurseries around him, "Of course, maybe I can also get a lot of questions."

Chapter 214: Tour Completed

"I think these plants should satisfy Miss Muirseth's curiosity." The perfumer smiled, not understanding why Muirseth turned around and looked at Xiyue just now.

"Some of them are indeed very strange, but we just need to use them. There are many things in nature that we cannot understand."

"I know." Muirseth smiled. "But if you can understand it, it would be the best. Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?"

"Not yet. Its survival rate is almost 100%." ​​The perfumer shook his head. "The only condition for growing it is that it gets enough sunlight."

"However, judging from several simulated planting experiments, it seems that it doesn't matter whether the crystal orchid is exposed to the sun or not. If nothing unexpected happens, its survival rate can reach nearly 100%."

"Accidents?" Muirseth raised his eyebrows. "You just said that they hardly need any growth conditions. With a survival rate of almost 100%, what accidents could happen?"

Celseth touched the crystal orchid, as if he had figured something out: "Oh, is it the hard layer on their bodies?"

Logically speaking, a plant will not behave in a way that would trap itself in a cocoon. Growth and expansion are the instincts of any life, including plants.

However, the ghost orchid will secrete mucus, which wraps itself up and turns it into a hard crystal. There must be a reason for this.

For example, their plants are very fragile during the growth process and may have problems due to the external environment, so they have evolved this ability to protect themselves.

It's like when some trees are injured, they will become deformed or secrete resin to protect the injured area.

Or maybe the hardening mucus of the crystal orchid exists for this reason. In that case, Muirseth roughly understood what the unexpected situation that the perfumer was talking about might be?

"It seems that Miss Muleses has already guessed it." The perfumer looked at Muleses, and his expression of sudden enlightenment showed that he had guessed that Muleses had probably deduced the reason.

"For some reasons, some crystal orchids will not be fully covered by the treatment. Although those crystal orchids will grow larger during their growth, some of them will die."

"Is that so?" Muirseth nodded, then looked up at the other nurseries, "It's getting late, shall we look at something else?"

"That's natural." The perfumer nodded. "Then let's take a look at the jade bamboo on the left."

——————Rhode Island·Accommodation Area·Corridor——————

"There are so many magical plants." Muirseth stretched. There were so many plants in the planting shed that the perfumer talked from the afternoon to the evening.

Because they were too engrossed in the activity, they didn't even prepare dinner. But they didn't mind as they would learn to cook for themselves later.

As for the perfumer, it seemed that he was so excited about the conversation that he had no intention of eating.

"I know you have a lot of questions." Xiyue smiled, "Have dinner first, and I will slowly answer them for you. You can also prepare a small notebook and ask me questions one by one."

"The small notebook may not be enough." Muerseth smiled and poked Xiyue's face with his finger, "Xiyue, where did you get these plants from?"

"From their thoughts, it seems that they are not plants from this continent at all."

"It's true." Xiyue pushed open the door. "But now that things have come to this, let's eat first. I think..."

Xiyue looked into the room and saw Hong, who seemed to have fallen asleep while waiting: "Look, Hong has fallen asleep while waiting."

Hearing Xiyue's voice, Hong raised her head and wiped her eyes: "Mom, are you back?"

"Yes, we are back." Xiyue walked into the room and touched Hong's head, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry." Hong rubbed Xiyue's hand, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"I'm sorry, Hong." Xiyue touched Hong, but looked around curiously, "Speaking of which, where are Kong and Croissant? Didn't I ask them to come to dinner too?"

"Why aren't you here? Are you out to eat because you can't wait any longer?"

"Not really." Hong shook her head, "Sora and Croissant were next door. They seemed to be bored waiting for mom, so Sora suggested going to a movie, but I wanted to sleep for a while, so they went back to the next room."

"Oh, I see. Sorry." Xiyue patted Hong's head. Water flowed around her body, and the water flow quickly turned into a home apron. "I'll go cook now. It will be ready soon."

"Please wait for a moment. Oh, and Hong, call them back. I'll be there soon."

--------------

"You guys came back so late today." Sora picked up the chopsticks and ate the rice in the bowl. "By the way, have you resolved the issue at the botanical garden?"

"Well, no, it shouldn't be solved so quickly. Should I say, do you have an idea?"

"No." Muirseth shook his head. "I just went to take a look today. I didn't even bring any tools with me. But you can say I have no idea."

As he spoke, Muirseth looked at Xiyue who was standing beside him: "Because the plants Xiyue brought here don't look like the things that should be on this land at all."

"Did Xiyue make some unusual changes to those plants?" Croissant, who had been monopolizing the TV since the previous week because he had finished the test early, guessed after hearing what Muirseth said.

"Just like the Frankenstein monster in horror movies, making some modifications to the plants?"

"First of all, there is no such thing as a horror movie." Muirseth shook his head. "Secondly, it would be fine if we just did some transformation like Frankenstein."

"At least it means that the original plants are still there, just with a little bit of stuff added."

"So, does that mean they are plants I've never seen before?" Sora tilted his head. "Well, maybe they are just some rare plants?"

Although they knew that Xiyue had provided Rhodes Island with a prescription and some plants, they were not interested in that and naturally did not ask any further questions.

As for Kong, in this regard, the most she knew was about decorative plants. Once it came to scientific research, she was completely clueless.

But since everyone is talking about this now, I just happened to interject a few words.

"That would be great if that's the case." Muirseth shook his head with some melancholy, "Someone keeps saying he'll give an explanation, but he hasn't said a word yet."

"Okay, okay, oh, really." Xiyue shook her head helplessly, "You guessed right, they are indeed not the original plants on this continent."

"Sure enough." Muirseth nodded in understanding, "Are they some kind of prehistoric plants? Did you preserve them, Xiyue?"

"Is the civilization they originally belonged to a magical civilization similar to the ones in novels?" There was some excitement in Melses' eyes. As the ocean of this planet, Xiyue must know a lot of things.

The fact that there was an earlier civilization on this land was something that Muirseth had long known, although based on current research, the other party was clearly a technological civilization with extremely high levels of technology.

But this planet has such a long history that perhaps there was an earlier magical civilization. Who knows? Muir Seth's performance is full of desire for knowledge.

From the information heard from a group of plants this afternoon, words such as magic, druids, spiritual power, elemental energy, etc. revealed from the plants' fragmentary words constantly aroused Muirseth's curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

However, Xiyu had been suppressing his appetite. It was not that Xiyue seemed to have some concerns, and he could not beat Xiyue at all. Muirseth might have dragged Xiyue to the small dark room and questioned her one by one.

But even facing Muirseth's somewhat fiery gaze, Xiyue just quietly used her chopsticks and calmly tapped the dish in front of her.

"Okay..." Muirseth understood Xiyue's actions. Don't talk about business at the dinner table. After the meal, they will naturally say what they need to say.

--------------

"We'll finish our meal~" Kong stood at the door and waved at the two people in the room, "You two can just talk about your business. If you need anything, we'll be watching a movie next door. Feel free to call us."

Although it's hard for Croissant to say, Kong really wants to stay here, but it's obvious that Muirseth and Yuzuki want to discuss business.

And it was the kind where I absolutely couldn't get a word in, not even a word.

Then if I stayed any longer, it would just be a complete waste of time, and I would just have to sit here and watch them talk out of boredom.

After all, if others are discussing very rigorous academic issues and he is watching TV here, it might not just be a simple spoiler.

It's obvious that he's here to cause trouble. To be honest, if someone is watching a movie or TV series with the volume turned up while I'm practicing singing, I would probably just throw that person out.

So you should just take Hesong with you and don’t be the one who spoils the fun and gets thrown out.

During the fasting process, when you left, Sora looked at Hong who was sitting in a chair playing with her tail: "Oh, by the way, Hong, do you want to come with us?"

"Woo?" Hong heard someone calling her and looked up at the door. "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Come on, come on." Kong waved to Hong, "Xiyue and Miss Muirseth are going to talk about something soon, so we'd better not disturb them."

"Oh." Hong nodded as if she understood something, then looked at Xiyue beside her, asking with her eyes whether she should follow Kong out as he said.
