The Law of Food Raising - 2
Chapter 2 - Kavos City
At sunset, several people successfully arrived in Kavos City.
Hua Duo looked around, with some doubts in her eyes. Isn’t it said that the technological level of Planet Thuran is two levels higher than that of Earth? But how does the city in front of her looks like it has no high technology? Not to mention the old buildings, human beings’ means of transportation are still various animals! If she hadn't believed in the detection results of the Book of Spiritual Wood, she would have almost thought that she had arrived in the Middle Ages. What is even more incredible is that there is not even a single real plant in the city. The flowers, plants and trees on the roadside are all decorations made of special artificial materials.
Book of Spiritual Wood:【Most of the technology of Thuran relies on supernatural plants. After the mutation of the plants, the technology is in a hollow state. Only the Royal City maintains the level of ninth-level technology. 】
[Because Wangcheng has the "unparalleled strength of a thousand miles"? ] Hua Duo communicated with the Book of Spiritual Wood in her heart.
【Yes. 】
Hua Duo is very curious about the "Thousand Miles Tree", and she must go and see it if she has the chance!
【 In addition, except for artificially cultivated edible plants, there are no natural plants in other cities.】
A city without plants would be intolerable to Hua Duo!
Bai Dong and others were about to take Hua Duo to the Personnel Institute to register. Unexpectedly, they heard bad news halfway—their lord, Samus, was seriously injured and was dying!
The three of them hurried to the Lord's Mansion and asked eagerly before entering the house: "How is your situation, sir?"
There were four people in the bedroom; two of them were restraining Samus' arms on the left and right, another was pressing his legs, and the last one was checking his body.
"Well..." Samus' face on the bed was distorted, his veins were exposed, and he seemed to be enduring great pain. His skin was covered with gray-purple patterns, spreading like vine branches.
"D*mn it! The parasitic vine has spread to the neck." Guze, who was wearing a white uniform, said with an ugly face. "It will take a few seconds for the medicine to take effect. I'm afraid it won't be able to keep up with the spread of the parasitic vine!"
"You have to catch up even if you can't catch up!" Utrey shouted, "If anything happens, sir, I will definitely k*ll you!"
Guze ignored him and concentrated on rescuing him. Seeing that the parasitic vine has spread to his jaw, once it enters the brain, Samus will definitely die.
At this moment, the spread of the parasitic vine suddenly stopped. Half of Samus' face was covered with vine patterns, but it did stop.
A trace of surprise flashed in Guze's eyes, and he turned his head to look as if he was feeling something. He saw the petite figure next to Bai Dong at a glance.
Her face was covered with stains, her clothes were in tatters, and she looked as embarrassed as a little beggar. But her smart black eyes are impressive. As she approached, the expression on Samus' face gradually relaxed, and his originally tense body also relaxed. At this time, the medicine finally took effect, and the parasitic vine changed from gray-purple to gray-white, imprinted on the bronze skin like a tattoo.
Like Guze, who also noticed Hua Duo was Wei Chen, who was pressing Samus' left arm. The moment Hua Duo stepped into the room, he seemed to see the beautiful scenery of the garden full of flowers, and the breeze was blowing on his face, as if he were bathing in nature. When he took a closer look, it returned to normal, as calm as water.
"Temporarily out of danger." Guze retracted his hand and announced coldly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Guze added: "Don't be too happy. You all know what a parasitic vine is. In history, no one has survived for more than two years after being parasitized."
Everyone's expressions darkened again.
Bai Dong asked: "What's going on? Your Excellency just went to the Royal City to apply for cultivation technology, how could he be parasitized by parasitic vines?"
Utrey replied angrily: "Those b*stards in the Royal City want us to find five kinds of active wild plant seeds in exchange for qualifications."
The so-called "active wild plants" generally refer to wild plants with edible value that can be cultivated artificially. The current food source of Thuran is the seeds of this active wild plant, which are cultivated by technicians in the Royal City and then made into nutrients for sale or distribution to other areas.
Wangcheng, which possesses the "unparalleled" sacred tree and food cultivation technology, is not only far ahead in science and technology, but also controls the lifeblood of the world. For hundreds of years, no region has successfully applied for cultivation technology, and at most only the cultivation rights are open for a certain period of time. Artificially cultivated seeds will lose their activity after three generations.
"With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to go deep into the jungle to find the five active seeds. How could you be parasitized?" Chi Xiao wondered.
Wei Chen replied with a cold face: "Wangcheng sent a team of people to accompany and assist us, but in fact they have hidden murderous intentions. They have no intention of letting us come back alive, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice more than twenty senior soldiers to achieve their goal."
"They are planning to completely break up with us this time!" Utrey's eyes were filled with fire, and he wanted to rush into the Royal City immediately to avenge his Lord.
The rest of the people were also filled with righteous indignation and cursed angrily.
At this time, Guze said: "Okay, adults need to rest. Don't make any noise here. Let's talk after we go out."
He packed up the medicine box and walked out of the room first. Others also filed out, leaving only one person to look after Samus. No one noticed that after Hua Duo left the bedroom, Samus on the bed frowned again...
Walking into the courtyard, Guze stopped, looked at Hua Duo, and asked, "Chi Xiao, who is this little girl?"
"I don't know, I picked her up on the road." Chi Xiao replied expressionlessly.
Bai Dong glared at Chi Xiao and explained to Guze: "This child seems to be mute and wandering alone in the wild. Very pitiful."
Guze looked at Hua Duo carefully for a while and said, "Let her stay in the lord's mansion."
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked by his decision.
Bai Dong whispered: "Although she looks pitiful, her origins are unknown after all. Isn't it a bit..."
"I agree with Guze's proposal." Wei Chen responded, "Let her take care of our Lord from now on. I will send someone to monitor her secretly. You don't have to worry."
Everyone looked at each other and didn't understand why they made such a decision. However, these two people, a housekeeper and a doctor, have enough say. Since it is their decision, it is not easy for everyone to object.
Hua Duo stayed out of the matter and didn't know that others had arranged her future life on their own.
[Xiaomu, that person just now was actually parasitized by a plant! ] Hua Duo said in fear, [Is that a kind of supernatural plant? Amazing! 】
【B-level parasitic vine has a 57% promotion probability, strong aggression, and high fecundity. Once an organism is parasitized, it can survive for up to thirty days. With appropriate drug control, death can be delayed. 】
【That man's situation is a little bad. 】Hua Duo thought, 【It is estimated that he can only live for one more year at most. 】
【Your spiritual energy has a suppressive effect on the parasitic vine, but it is best not to consume spiritual energy to treat him. 】
Hua Duo naturally understood the meaning of the Book of Spiritual Wood. If she did not find enough spiritual energy to replenish, her spiritual energy could only be consumed for ten years and could not be wasted casually.
"Girl, come with me, I will arrange a place for you." Wei Chen walked up to Hua Duo and made a "please" gesture to her.
Hua Duo followed him and left. Before leaving, she smiled and waved to the three people who brought her into the city.
Bai Dong looked at her back and said worriedly: "What a good child, Wei Chen won't b*lly others."
"Don't worry about it." Chi Xiao glanced at him sideways and said, "Let's go, let's discuss the current situation before the Samus wakes up."
Hua Duo was taken to a remote small courtyard by Wei Chen.
"You can live here from now on. I will send someone to bring you clothes and food." After a pause, Wei Chen asked, "You really can't speak? Are you literate?"
Hua Duo shook her head in confusion.
"Where's your name?" Wei Chen frowned and said, "Okay, as for the identity issue, I will help you register and re-apply. As for the name... we'll talk about it in two days."
Wei Chen thought about asking someone to teach her how to read and let her choose a name. After choosing a name, he could apply for a temporary identity card for her.
After Wei Chen left, someone quickly brought buckets of hot water and clothes.
Hua Duo jumped happily into the tub. Although the rabbit doesn't like bathing, she has become a spirit after all and loves to be clean. Frequent washing and bubble bathing are essential.
Hua Duo washed her whole body clean until her skin returned to its original color before reluctantly leaving the tub.
After putting on the new clothes, Hua Duo fiddled with them in front of the mirror. She had no special feeling about the clothes from another world. The short coat has narrow sleeves, large trousers with a delicate waist button, and a pair of small cloth boots. It looks very cute.
Hua Duo combed her long hair, letting it hang straight behind her back, letting it sway gently with her every step.
"Are you done?" Wei Chen's voice sounded outside.
Hua Duo put down her comb, ran over and opened the door, showing a bright smile to the person at the door.
Wei Chen was dazzled by her smile, it was... too bright.
The little girl after washing herself is like a pearl with dust removed, crystal clear. She has snow-white skin that is rare on Planet Thuran, and her facial features are exquisite. When she smiles, she reveals two tiger teeth.
This was the first time Wei Chen saw such a pure and flawless child. There is an ancient and natural atmosphere about her, which is clean, fresh and ethereal. This is probably why she was able to help relieve Samus' pain.
He withdrew his gaze and took the food into the room.
Hua Duo leaned over and took a look. Wei Chen was holding two glass bottles, one containing light blue liquid and the other containing light yellow liquid.
"This is a nutritional supplement with vegetable and fruit flavors. I hope you like it." Wei Chen handed the glass bottle to Hua Duo.
Hua Duo took it, opened the lid and smelled it. The smell was quite good, but...
【Low nutritional value, many harmful impurities, not suitable for consumption. 】The voice of the Book of Spiritual Wood is always so blunt.
The people of Thuran have already adapted to the environment, so they accept this kind of food well, but Hua Duo's fragile stomach won't be able to handle it.
Wei Chen saw her looking at the nutritional supplements with a melancholy look on her face, thinking that she didn't like people watching her eating, so he said understandingly: "Have a good rest after eating and recuperate your energy. I hope you can attend to our Lord after a while."
After saying that, he walked out of the room and closed the door for Hua Duo.
Hua Duo looked at the glass bottles in her hand regretfully, and then put them into her storage bag.
After touching her belly, she threw herself on the bed and rolled over.
Well, although the building is old, the furniture and various daily necessities are still very contemporary, and the bed and quilt are also very comfortable.
Hua Duo's eyelids drooped. After a day of exhaustion, sleepiness gradually came over her, and she fell asleep within a moment.
She has not yet realized that the environment with negative spiritual values makes her tired easily and her body will become weaker and weaker.
