The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 443 - 342: Botanical Garden, Remia’s Time Reversal
The Ugly Emperor followed Michael to the botanical garden, which from the outside looked like a modern glass building reminiscent of a pyramid.
But once inside, the scene expanded several dozen to a hundred times, lush and verdant like a primeval jungle.
Michael laughed and said, "The first floor is filled with common plants, which originally wouldn’t qualify for such an expensive exhibit space, but their value lies in constructing a massive ecological system. Let’s go upstairs!"
Ahead was a Teleportation Array, and a service attendant stood respectfully at its edge: "Please, sir!"
On the second floor was a vast expanse of orchard, wheat fields, and vegetable patches.
Michael said, "This floor consists of common grains, fruits, and vegetables; their value is in preserving the original species!"
Then they teleported to the third floor.
The third floor was still an orchard and vegetable garden, but Chun immediately spotted familiar giant pumpkins, shockingly large! There were also various other giant fruits he didn’t recognize in the orchard.
Michael said, "This floor is the Empire’s experimental field for breeding and improving crops to increase yields. Several gentlemen from the library are researchers here; if you’re interested, you can chat with them."
The Ugly Emperor nodded repeatedly in shock: "Understood..."
At that moment, Chun suddenly remembered how Shannon mentioned his hometown on Watermelon Island, where his research was usurped by the Island Lord, Marquis Iguado. Could the Marquis’s pumpkin achievements be here?
Then they teleported to the fourth floor, with a peculiar scene filled with glowing exotic plants never seen in the game before!
Michael marveled, "Here is where Explorers collect exotic plants from around the world, and the Fluorescent Flower you’re interested in is on this floor."
They arrived at a nursery piled with multicolored Mineral Crystals, with flowers blooming in a variety of colors.
The Ugly Emperor was amazed: "As the books say, Fluorescent Flowers are particularly sensitive to Crystal Ore, with different colored crystals producing different colored flowers! And these flowers can survive in harsh environments!"
Chun had to admire him. Despite his primary focus on studying mathematics, he could still remember these things. Previously, Chun was frustrated at losing in math and thought he was an AI, supposing that not pretending would be natural. After seeing these fields, Chun changed his mind; this game has extensive research projects after all! It can’t just be an NPC entitled to computing power as a genius; at least the setting of Earth Lotus, unable to read human characters, presents Old Deng as possessing human genius-level intelligence!
Michael then smiled at the attendant, saying, "My friend Mr. Clown needs to study these flowers, prepare a flower pot."
The attendant immediately took out a flower pot: "Do you want one of each color of the flower?"
The Ugly Emperor was noncommittal: "Sure!"
But Michael said, "Wait, use the best flower pot!"
"Alright, sir."
The next moment, the attendant took out an exquisite, gold-embossed jade-inlaid flower pot.
——System Notification: Congratulations! Your Expert-level Treasure Identification Technique has discovered a high-class Magic Power artwork. Your Treasure Identification Technique has upgraded to Expert Level 2...
Holy Shit! Just a glance to level up an expert level? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
The Ugly Emperor was stunned: "Sage, this is way too expensive, what if I accidentally drop it..."
The attendant demonstrated by dropping the pot: "It won’t break, it’s a synthetic diamond flower pot!"
Holy Shit, synthetic? Has the game become so industrialized?
Michael laughed, "So take it, sir. A good flower pot signifies importance to the research item!"
The Ugly Emperor trembled as he took the flower pot, touching it repeatedly: "Really, too grateful, sir."
Michael laughed, "No, these flowers thank you! It is because of you that their value can be further explored."
The Ugly Emperor was a little nervous: "I may not be able to develop anything."
Michael laughed, "Then let it be a gift of our friendship."
The Ugly Emperor sighed, "How should I repay your friendship, sir?"
Michael laughed, "You’re already repaying it. By seriously studying, you declare the awakening of the common people, you repay all the common people..."
Chun was dumbfounded! With such charisma, eloquence, and generosity, wouldn’t any NPC be won over?
Meanwhile, the attendant filled the flower pot with Seven-Colored Crystal Soil and transplanted seven Seven-Color Fluorescent Flowers: "Sir, these flowers don’t need water or sunlight. If the light dims, it means the Crystal Stone energy is low, just replace the Crystal Stone. You can use this pot to directly come to the hall for replacement."
The Ugly Emperor solemnly accepted: "I understand!"
Chun was comforted by the density of the flowers and leaves, perfect for Hua’s hiding. The flowers’ light could also conveniently hide the Rune typing.
Michael pointed to a Teleportation Array in front: "Since you’re here anyway, why not go up one more floor to take a look? However, the plants on the next level will overturn your understanding!"
The Ugly Emperor was more intrigued: "Sure!"
So they teleported to the upper floor, but unlike the previous garden, the area wasn’t as large, and there were only hundreds of rows of Teleportation Gates, much like the second floor of the Lost Paradise Treasure Guild.
Chun seemed to guess what it was.
Close to the Teleportation Gates, there were plant-related graphic labels next to them, and Chun was indeed surprised; they were all things with moving eyes, long manes, wings, fangs, indistinguishable from plants or animals! There were even some writhing in fire!
The Ugly Emperor was stunned: "What are these?"
Michael solemnly said, "Demon Realm plants, most of them eat people! Even I do not have direct authority to go inside and see them, so we can only observe their images here."
The Ugly Emperor exclaimed: "Then the people who captured these plants must be incredibly brave!"
