Greenleaf City in the world of Plants vs. Zombies is doing very well right now, the only problem is that the population is too small. Even though it took so long to attract humans from all over the world, the prolonged zombie catastrophe still caused the human population to drop significantly.

For example, the land where Luye City is located is more than 10,000 square kilometers, and even if you remove the mountains and waters that are not suitable for human survival, there are more than 8,000 square kilometers. But there are only more than 20,000 people living on such a large area of land. It is precisely because of this that in the past year or so, in addition to taking a few commanding heights around the plains and scattered islands overseas. They all nest on the leafy plains and carry out all kinds of construction, instead of going out to reclaim the territory occupied by zombies. After all, no matter how much territory is occupied, no one will be able to defend it.

In order to stop the infiltration of zombies, people have greened all the places where they can grow plants with the help of robots. A corresponding consequence is that there is a serious surplus of food in Luye City. Because of Dave's transformation of plants, even if only 1/10 of the area is used to grow grain and vegetables, the green leaf market is far from exhausting. A while ago, Ryan also opened the space doors of the Fallout World and the Plants vs. Zombies World at the same time in the Wanjie Grocery Store, and then used a conveyor belt to send a whole day's food to the Fallout World.

So Dave has now replaced the grain varieties with new varieties that grow slower than the previous varieties and have lower yields but are much better nutrient. So as soon as Ryan thought of supplementing nutrition after his illness, he came to fight the autumn breeze.

Soon, Ryan returned to the kitchen with two large sacks about the height of his own, filled with vegetables and fresh meat and eggs. In addition to the fact that the eggs are indeed laid by chickens, all kinds of fresh meat are grown from some newly cultivated plants. But it's understandable, it's normal for Dave, who can cultivate so many amazing plants, to grow beef-growing trees.

In addition, the catastrophe also caused heavy losses to the animals bred by humans before, and the population of oviparous animals such as chickens, ducks and geese recovered quite quickly, and a year was enough to supply eggs and meat. However, it is much more difficult for large animals such as cattle and sheep to recover their populations, and they can only rely on changing plants to solve the problem.

"Wow, so much fresh food. Would you like to cook?" asked Alice, looking at the contents of the two bags.

"Of course I can cook, but today it's not my turn to do it for someone who is not very skilled. Speaking of which, Ryan said as he looked at Helen the robot. "The real cooks are here. ”

"Of course, sir, miss. I'd love to show you my craft. Helen waved her mechanical tentacles. "Leave it to me, Miss Alice, this is the beginning of a serious illness. I'll be coming up with a scientific and delicious dinner soon. ”

Twenty minutes later, Helen floated in with a large silver platter and introduced it to the table as she served it. "Miss Alice, this bowl is a porridge with fish, meat and vegetables, which is very delicious, nutritious and easy to digest. The bowl of pork milk mashed potatoes next to it is just as delicious. Finally, a clear consommé with minced chicken and vegetables. Please use it slowly. ”

"It tastes awesome. Alice said after tasting all the dishes in front of her. Ryan also began to enjoy this 13-course French meal at this time.

The next afternoon, Alice takes Ryan to the manor's warehouse to display his father's treasures. Walking through the backyard through the snow, they walked into a delicate-looking warehouse.

It was an eye-opener for Ryan, such as a clock that was similar to the table clock in the reception room that could run out of all kinds of animals. Dolls and animals that can move autonomously after winding. As soon as the box was opened, there was a whole puppet band that could play a dozen tunes. Here Ryan could clearly feel that it was not just the power of the mechanism that made these things move, but the driving core of which should be the product of some kind of alchemy.

"I see you like these things very much, so did you learn how to make them from your father?" Ryan asked on the way back.

"I really like this, but unfortunately I can't learn it. Alice said in a low tone. "Learning alchemy requires special qualifications, and I don't have them. One of the most important factors in my father's running outside was that he wanted to find a way out of the ordinary. ”

"But without alchemy, I can make things. After returning to the castle, Alice showed Ryan a lot of mechanical products he had made, such as music boxes and clocks.

In the days that followed, the two of them discussed a lot about magic and machinery, and Ryan had a great conversation because of his mechanical heritage, and the two of them even spent a whole day working to build a steam engine with the help of magic. Alice has a very high opinion of this machine, which can keep moving as long as it is fueled, and even thinks that it can change the world.

On the fifth day of Ryan's arrival in this world, he was discussing with Alice in the reception room about the use of the condenser on the steam engine when a young male voice came from the living room downstairs.

"Alice, where are you? Daddy is back. ”

"Daddy!" Alice immediately got up from the couch and ran downstairs with a puff of smoke. After a while, she walked in with a young man with blonde hair.

"This is the wizard Mr. Ryan who saved my life. Alice introduced her father.

"Thank you so much, my daughter is going to have an accident and I really don't know what to do. Alice's father expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"If you hadn't been out all day, I wouldn't have almost died this time. Alice said expressionlessly at this time. His father was also confused and didn't know what to say.

Ryan, as an outsider, felt very embarrassed to see this scene. But at this time, he couldn't leave, so he could only sit on the sofa. Soon Alice was back in her room, leaving Ryan and her father in the reception room.

"Thank you so much this time, Wizard Lane. But can you tell me what you're here for our world?"

"You, how do you know I'm not from this world?" Ryan asked with some horror, he really didn't expect anyone to be able to see that he was from another world at first glance. No one in the world he had been to before had been able to do this.

"Alchemy is a very powerful skill, and since I came in, I have used the special methods of alchemy to observe you. Naturally, I can see that you are from other worlds, and I can see that other worlds are very friendly to you. Otherwise do you think you can still sit here in peace? Of course it's not polite for me to observe you in that way, but since you're next to my daughter, I'll have to find out what is going on. ”

"Is this in the hands of his daughter's father?" Ryan thought speechlessly. But since you can see this, maybe there is a way to detect lies. If you use the Upper Clearing Technique to block the soul and prevent observation, it will be too hostile. Thinking of this, Ryan simply said the truth.

"I'm just traveling around the world and doing some trading, and by the way, I learn to strengthen myself. Of course, if you see that the world is in trouble, you will also help. ”

"That's right, then you can stay at my manor for a while. We can exchange our knowledge. By the way, you can call me Luo Zhen. The blond young man stretched out his arm. Ryan smiled and shook his hand. "Then please take care of me. ”
