The Law of Food Raising - 16

Chapter 16 - Heinous crime

In the end, Hua Duo just called Guze's name and stopped talking. The pronunciation of the language in this world was very strange. Every time she spoke, her throat felt itchy and uncomfortable.

Guze was not discouraged and planned to continue his efforts in the future. He always has unparalleled patience when dealing with children.

"Duoduo, come here." Wei Chen appeared at the door and waved to Hua Duo.

Hua Duo ran over and looked at him with questioning eyes: What's the matter?

"Beitu has sent a batch of artificial plants and would like your help to test them." Wei Chen explained the situation concisely and comprehensively while taking her to the laboratory.

Apart from Samus, there are only a few core figures in the laboratory who know Hua Duo's identity.

As soon as Hua Duo came in, everyone greeted her with affection beyond words. If it weren't for Samus' cold glare, some people would even want to go up and give her a hug.

"Duoduo, come here." Samus naturally locked Duoduo into his aura, not allowing others to covet her.

Hua Duo glanced at him to make sure that her energy had not been lost, and then she calmly turned her attention to the experimental table.

There were seven kinds of plants neatly placed on the test bench. She had just heard Wei Chen briefly explain that these were edible plants that were widely grown in Beitu.

Edible plants? Hua Duo clearly saw that the Lanxuan, which had been confirmed to be poisonous, was also among them. After she tested other plants with the Book of Spiritual Wood, she couldn't help but marveled at how good the physical fitness of the people from the the Planet Thuran was!

Four of the seven types of plants are poisonous!

【Water wheat, artificial plant, grade (none), low quality, high fecundity, low nutritional value, inedible. 】

【Pinto beans, artificial plants, grade (none), low quality, high fecundity, medium nutritional value, can be eaten in small amounts. Efficacy: Nourishing the stomach, laxative, aiding digestion, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling. 】

【Fragrant fruit, artificial plant, grade (none), low quality, medium fecundity, medium nutritional value, can be eaten in small amounts. Efficacy: nourish the stomach, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the kidneys. 】

Of these three safe plants, two can be eaten in small amounts, which is an unexpected discovery, but the next three are not so wonderful.

【Green mushrooms, artificial plants, grade (none), low quality, high fecundity, contain neurotoxins, long-term consumption can cause mental confusion, five sense disorders, severe cases will cause indirect convulsions, coma, or death due to respiratory depression . 】

【Fire Phoenix Plume, artificial plant, grade (none), low quality, medium fecundity, has certain ornamental value and medicinal value, effects: cough relieving, analgesic, hypnosis. Long-term consumption can cause strong dependence. Once consumption is interrupted, negative symptoms such as fatigue, drowsiness, inattention, and irritability will occur. 】

【Rock Taro, artificial plant, grade (none), low quality, high fecundity, poisonous sap, irritating to the skin and spleen and stomach, long-term consumption can cause sore throat, gastrointestinal spasm, convulsions, suffocation and even heart attack, death from paralysis. Special reminder: Not only is rock taro itself toxic, but the water droplets flowing through its stems and leaves are also toxic and should not be touched at will. 】

After the test, Hua Duo couldn’t believe it. Are these really edible plants? Just how powerful are the stomachs of the Thuronians? So many people eat it without any problems?

"Duoduo, what's going on?" Samus noticed her expression and asked aloud, "What are the results of the test?"

Hua Duo picked up a glass tube and pointed to the water wheat, pinto beans and fragrant fruits respectively: "It's edible."

Then she pointed to the orchid, green mushrooms, fire phoenix plume, and rock taro one by one: "Poisonous."

When Samus and others saw this, their expressions all changed. Although they had guessed in advance that Wangcheng might have tampered with other plants, no one expected that there would be as many as four types.

"They are so cruel!" Bai Dong punched the test platform. Although Kavos is not widely grown, the nutrient solutions they usually buy also include these flavors. The situation may not be as serious as Beitu's, but the potential harm is obvious.

"Duoduo, I'm not doubting your judgment, but I still want to confirm, are there really problems with these plants?" Chi Xiao said seriously.

Hua Duo nodded affirmatively.

Several people looked at each other and saw the anger and surprise in their eyes.

Samus clenched his fist and asked in a deep voice: "Duoduo, can you tell me specifically about the dangers of these plants?"

Hua Duo shook her head, saying she couldn't explain clearly. The Book of Spiritual Wood's tests on plants are all based on her physique. If Samus and the others want to get more accurate results, they must retest, and she can only do a preliminary screening.

"Wei Chen, I'll leave this matter to you." Samus immediately ordered, "During the test, please let Xiu Yi participate in the entire process without slacking off."

Since these harmful plants can pass general testing, it means that the toxins they contain are concealed to a certain extent, and conventional testing is definitely useless. If it weren't for Duoduo, he's afraid none of them would have thought of conducting repeated tests on these artificial plants.

The next day, Xiu Yi learned the preliminary test results of these plants and became angry on the spot.

"Extremely shameless!" He squeezed out these words through his teeth. He was so powerful and murderous that the whole room was filled with murderous intent. The maid who was accompanying him almost fainted.

"Your Excellency Xiu Yi, please calm down. The matter may not be as serious as you think." Wei Chen reassured, "The specific harm of these plants has not been detected yet, but one thing is for sure. Their harm requires long-term consumption to appear. If you only consume it occasionally or intermittently, it shouldn’t have much impact.”

"The entire Beitu has been eating these plants for at least two years." Xiu Yi said with a frosty look on his face.

"Then have you paid attention to the health status of Beitu's residents?"

Xiu Yi fell into deep thought, his lips moved and he didn't speak, but his expression became increasingly ugly.

After a long while, he asked: "Can the natural plants cultivated by Kavos remove the toxins from these plants?"

"I can't answer your question." Wei Chen said, "Of the several natural plants we have cultivated, we have only found that the golden ball has relatively high medicinal value, but it can only remove ordinary toxins and impurities."

Xiu Yi nodded, stood up and said, "Please take me to the laboratory. I must personally figure out the dangers of those plants."

When Hua Duo returned to Courtyard No. 1, the first thing she did was to hold the plant atlas and run under the grape trellis to check the characteristics of those plants. She already knows a lot of otherworldly texts, and with the addition of the Book of Spirit Wood, she can basically read them simply.

Comparing the dangers of those artificial plants, their mutated forms are even more ferocious. At least in Hua Duo's view, they are definitely terrifying species that can pose a threat to her life. She was glad that she was picked up by Bai Dong and others as soon as she came to this world. If she were wandering around alone in the mountains and forests, she would have turned into plant nutrients long ago.

After this period of understanding, she found that most mutant plants already have certain characteristics of animals. In addition to being unable to move, their reproduction methods, perception abilities, subjective aggression, digestive systems, etc. are all moving closer to protozoa. Some even developed simple consciousness.

Hua Duo suspected that if the plants continued to mutate, they would most likely break away from the soil and become new species with both plant characteristics and behavioral abilities... Just thinking about it was terrifying, so Hua Duo quickly dismissed this idea from her mind. Plants are spirits bred by nature. Their attachment and love for the earth are unmatched by any living creature. She never believed that they would one day abandon the earth and destroy the natural order.

"What are you looking at?" A familiar voice came from above, interrupting Hua Duo's thoughts.

Hua Duo raised her head and faced Samus.

"Why didn't you take care of your dragon fruit today?" Samus sat next to her and put his arm on her waist in a half-hug position.

She originally planned to cultivate her dragon fruit, but her energy was severely depleted and she had to spend half her time absorbing spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, Hua Duo stood up quickly, hugged the book and ran away quickly, away from this dangerous person.

Samus' face darkened, and he stared at Hua Duo's retreating back in silence.

"The test results of the green mushrooms are out!" the researcher said excitedly. "We separated all the elements and tested them one by one. The results showed that this substance, tentatively designated as the "R" element, formed after fifty-one superpositions. A special neurotoxin. Through simulation experiments, taking this neurotoxin will greatly weaken a person's mental strength and six senses, inhibit the improvement of magical powers, and even affect the awakening rate of magical powers in the next generation."

Xiu Yi's face was condensed, his fingers trembled slightly, and his emotions were suppressed to the extreme.

Samus said in a solemn tone: "The purpose of the new royal family is obvious, which is to weaken the strength of each territory and inhibit our evolution."

"Beitu is not the only territory where these plants are planted. Once the test results are announced, the new royal family will face the wrath of all the people in the territory." Xiu Yi said coldly, "They are so courageous. They dare to flout the laws of human evolution and commit crimes. Such a heinous crime."

Chi Xiao said: "These plants have been promoted for more than a hundred years. Except for a few territories that have not obtained planting rights, two-thirds of the area has formed a certain scale."

"In other words, most of the human beings around the world have been poisoned." Guze said with a gloomy expression.

As soon as these words came out, the laboratory suddenly fell into silence.

Bai Dong took a deep breath and broke the silence: "No wonder, there are fewer and fewer people awakening to strange magic! Originally we all thought it was due to the influence of mutated plants, but now it seems that the new royal family is the culprit."

Samus picked up a green mushroom with a gloomy look: "The new royal family is digging its own grave. Everyone, prepare to fight!"

A new revolution that can change history is about to begin...

The author has something to say: The setting of this article is relatively large. This is just the beginning. The rabbit will gradually become stronger and various strange plants will appear one by one.

I hope everyone will support me!
