Finding that Arthur was stunned with half a biscuit, Alan couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, the silver-haired handsome young man glanced at him and shook his head: "It's nothing. Then he put the remaining half of the piece into his mouth without saying a word.

"Alan, you finally know how to change the taste!" Heller didn't "steal" Philos's share, so he could only turn his head and chat with Alan: "I've been making pear blossom-flavored cookies for more than a month, and you don't get tired of it, and Your Highness doesn't get tired of it, but we can't stand the smell anymore!" ”

Alan was a little embarrassed, glanced at His Royal Highness Kyle, who was sitting next to him and couldn't see his expression, and didn't dare to say that someone asked him to do this, so he had to smile and say, "Not this time......"

- Silk Begonia is a fourth-level medicinal plant, much more expensive than pear flowers, and his planting space does not have the seeds of Silk Begonia, so there is no way to grow it himself, just the material cost consumed during this time has made him feel distressed, and it is definitely impossible to use it as a cabbage!

Hearing this, a certain highness silently put the remaining half bag of biscuits into his locker in full view of everyone, with the meaning of "since it is a limited edition - then put it away - so as not to be stolen".

"......" Heller.

"......" Philos.

"......" Arthur.

Seeing this, Alan hurriedly played a round and said, "Ah...... That one...... Biscuits are easy to get wet when left outside! Put it in the cupboard! That one...... What dessert do you want to eat tomorrow for afternoon tea, I'll order ......"

appeased the four would-be mecha warriors who almost had a "discord" because of half a bag of biscuits, and then brought the same biscuits to Tang Haichao and Thorpe, who were also in the training ground, and Alan went back to the dormitory with gifts to visit the "rabbit duo" who wanted to wear them.

Finally, back in the dedicated dormitory, Alan washed his hands and entered his system space - he was going to start trying to make the purifier of the second fourth-level medicinal plant today!

I thought that there was plenty of time, and maybe I could complete the mandatory tasks of the system in advance. But two days later, Alan found himself in the biggest trouble ever!

His spiritual power is completely uncontrollable! It's hard to even sort out its veins, let alone make a purifier!

Although Mika, who said that he would not be online, appeared again, and Alan discussed it with him for half a night, but this special medicinal plant of the third star region itself is in a special situation, and the other party has not actually operated it, so he failed to help Alan solve the problem.

Later, Alan also consulted the head of the department, Mr. Wright, on the grounds that he was interested in mecha enhancers, but only came to a very frustrating conclusion.

——With his current level of spiritual power, he shouldn't be able to make the purifier of the Nash Snake Vine in a short period of time!

That's when Alan suddenly realized that it wasn't just a matter of choosing the wrong raw materials - it was a problem with his whole mentality!

Probably because he has always been used to smooth sailing, when he didn't know it, his heart became a little impetuous.

So, when the new mandatory mission came along, Alan didn't take it as carefully as he used to...... He even regarded Nash Snake Vine, which is clearly a leader in fourth-level medicinal plants, as his first batch of "hand exercises"!

Now it seems that it is simply beyond my strength!

If you fall, you can get up, but this shame from within makes Alan fall into an inferiority complex that he hasn't seen for a long time.

Time was of the essence, and he was not allowed to give up on himself. Alan tried to adjust his mentality, so he ordered Herm's Jade Orchid on the virtual platform overnight, which was another fourth-level medicinal plant that Mika Jianyì could use to get started.

However, this kind of negative feeling is obviously not something that can be eliminated lightly.

Although he still forced himself to smile during the day, and at the same time seized a moment to keep himself busy, and had no time to take care of his low mood, the extremely low efficiency proved that he still did not get rid of the frustration caused by the bottleneck, and the self-blame for the consequences of his momentary pride and complacency.

When Alan had no choice but to pretend that he was unwell and took a half-day leave to complete the system task at the last moment......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The little tiger was pushing the ball on the carpet to play, one was not paying attention, and hit the ball on Allen's feet, the little guy quickly looked up at Allen on the sofa, but found that he was unaware of it, and seemed to be in a daze.

Sensing that Eren didn't seem to be in a good mood, it ran back to his bedroom on his short legs, and quickly pulled out a handmade puppet—one large and one small, to be exact.

That's what Anna has recently started trying to make, so she made a pair of "Alan and Vinson love each other" dolls according to the little one's preferences.

The little guy put his favorite toy on Alan's lap and arched it with his little head, screaming at Alan.

- Give Alan my favorite toy, Alan will be in a better mood when he plays with it! Whew!

Alan picked up the puppet on his lap, it was a doll with a clear appearance, and he was holding a small tiger in his arms that was also unreadable - if it weren't for the fact that it was wearing a pair of bib pants that cubs also have, Alan would have thought it was a pig!

"Boy, what are you doing here?" Alan stroked its little head and shook it with the puppet.

The little guy jumped on Allen's lap, pulled the puppet with his little paws, then touched Allen's chest with his little paws, rolled in his arms embarrassedly, and finally grabbed Allen's stomach and wagged his little tail.

- Eren holding my puppet, he won't be unhappy because he thinks I won't see me again! Whew!

At this time, Anna walked in and reminded Alan that it was time for lunch, and when she saw the set of puppets in his hand, the deacon, who had always been gentle and steady, couldn't help but blush, she coughed twice, and explained pretending not to care...... It's the first time I've done it, and I don't have much experience......"

"Why don't you try a bear or something a little simpler?"

Anna looked at the preoccupied Allen, although she didn't know what he was thinking, but she replied, "Of course I can be a bear or a rabbit, but His Highness Vincennes wants it like this." Rather than make a perfect one, but it doesn't fit its heart, it's better to make an ugly one, but it likes it, doesn't it? ”

- Yes, although he used to be overwhelmed, isn't his real wish to make an extraction that can help His Highness Kyle and them more? There may not be anything wrong with that!

- As long as he adjusts his mentality, is more down-to-earth, no longer so impetuous, and works slowly towards the goal in a down-to-earth manner, then one day, he can also make a qualified mecha enhancer! So, don't be discouraged here! Hurry up and cheer up!

Alan kissed the little tiger's little head, and the little guy immediately happily kissed Allen's chin - look, Alan got this puppet, and his mood immediately improved! Whew!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Back in the bedroom, Alan buried his head and continued to make the purifier of the jade orchid.

In the morning, in order to complete the task, he hurriedly made only the last quality purifier - now that he is determined to keep his feet on the ground and set sail again, let's start with the improvement of this purifier!

Alan had just processed another piece of material and was about to take a break when there was a knock on his door.

Alan opened the door and saw that it was Arthur standing outside.

"Are you back so early today?!" Alan looked out, looking for the others.

"Kyle has gone to the meeting, Heller and Philos are still at the training ground, and I'll come back first." At this time, Arthur was no longer as cold as a glacier, and with a gentle smile on his face, he patiently and in detail explained to Allen.

Alan carefully observed the expression of the silver-haired young man, and suddenly realized something, so he also showed a shallow smile and asked curiously, "Why don't you come with them?" ”

"I haven't had a delicious afternoon tea in the past two days, so I have to come back and prepare it myself." Arthur raised the cup and small porcelain plate in his hand to indicate if he could enter Allen's room.

Alan was in a bad mood during this time, Kyle found out early and asked a few times, and Alan naturally wanted to cover up the past.

Unable to ask the real reason, Kyle thought that it was almost time to leave for the Fifth Star Zone, and Alan might have been a little nervous before the game, so he asked him not to go to the training ground together, but to stay in the dormitory to rest more, or go to the castle to play with the little tiger and relax.

So in the past two days, they have no "Allen brand" friendship afternoon tea to enjoy.

Alan thought of his state during this time, obviously making everyone worried, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry, he turned sideways and let Arthur into the room.

Arthur walked in, put the cup and small plate with snacks in his hand on Allen's table, glanced at the empty boxes piled up next to the table, and asked casually: "There seems to be the scent of orchids in your room, is it Herm's jade orchid?" ”

Alan didn't doubt him and nodded.

Arthur didn't continue to ask about the orchid, and chatted with Alan for a few more words, so he clicked the cup of flower tea with his finger, and said to Alan gently: "Don't be too tired to prepare for the game, you can get twice the result with half the effort when you rest, some things are not in a hurry, rather than putting too much pressure on yourself, it is better to do it step by step...... Sometimes, the boat goes straight to the bridgehead naturally. ”

With that, he patted him on the shoulder and left Allen's room.

Allen, who was comforted by his friend, was very moved, so he didn't notice that the flower bones floating in the tea had completely bloomed in just a moment!

Alan took a big sip of the teacup, then ate all the snacks, wiped his hands with a paper towel, and continued to enter his system space, preparing to strive for the high-quality Jade Orchid purifier he made tonight!

In this way, I can continue to make afternoon tea snacks for His Highness Kyle tomorrow!
