chapter 51
When Si Nian was looking for Richard, Richard was making a real yàn of the recovery potion.
The Star Grass used in the trial was purchased in the Star Mall.
It's a pity that the price of star grass with pots is not cheap, for Richard, it is okay to buy in small quantities, but it is not cost-effective to buy in large quantities.
He carved a small area in the real yàn room and planted some of his own seeds, but the growth rate couldn't keep up with his real yàn progress at all, and he really didn't know when he would be able to complete this potion optimization if he continued like this.
It's normal for the real yàn to fail again, and if you can succeed once, there will be ghosts.
But Richard was not in a good mood, so he directly put the bottle in his hand on the ground.
The transparent bottle was a bit similar to the flask that Si Nian had seen in the past, and after it hit the ground, it made a loud collision sound, but the bottle did not break, but rolled a few times and came to Si Nian's feet.
Si Nian was taken aback, but he still bent down and picked up the bottle that Richard had thrown down.
Richard's expression was a little embarrassed, and he stiffened his face and said, "I'm sorry, I've been doing a little bad lately, I scared you." ”
For this student with high hopes, Richard still bothered a lot, and he didn't want Si Nian to be scared by himself because of this incident.
Si Nian shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
"What's the trouble you're in?"
Seeing Si Nian's expression as usual, Richard shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, you see, this damn real yàn!" I've been dragging it out for more than a month, and all kinds of wonderful realizations and research are waiting for me, but because of this damn star grass, all my realizations have to slow down! ”
Richard is not exaggerating, because the optimization potion is very time-consuming, and as long as Richard does not complete this work for a day, he will not be able to get rid of it for a day. He needs to spend a lot of time and energy on this practice every day, and he really doesn't have more effort to do the research he likes.
As for postponing this practice and moving on to the others, Richard's sense of duty did not allow him to do so.
Favorite research is as addictive as a drug for researchers, and it's hard to say when Richard will be able to recall it once he puts optimization off the ground......
Si Nian didn't quite understand Richard's words, but he keenly noticed the word "star grass".
"What's wrong with Star Grass?" Si Nian asked.
"I need a lot of fresh star grass for Shi Yàn to use, but the amount of star grass can never keep up with the speed of use. Every time I run out, I have to stop doing something else, but you know, when a research work is stopped and picked up again, there is always a short period of adaptation, and besides, the things prepared are different, and this gap between the realities is a waste in itself. Richard complained.
He had been worried about this for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to talk and vent, and regardless of whether Si Nian understood it or not, he said it all in one go.
"You mean you want a lot of fresh star grass, right? If you can be provided with enough star grass every day, can you solve your problem? Si Nian continued to ask.
"That's right, that's what it is. But the problem is not so easy to solve. I want a lot of it, because the consumption is very fast, and I have also tried to let the courier send it, but even the fastest courier company can hardly guarantee that the things will be delivered within an hour, not to mention that there is no such breeding base around the academy star, and they may not even be able to deliver it within two hours. As for finding a place for a school, don't even think about it, it's impossible, you see this little nursery is made up by myself, but unfortunately it takes two months for these seeds to be planted and used. I had to buy a few from the internet and pick a few mature ones from the college's botanical garden. Richard did seem to have been driven mad by this, and it was not difficult to hear the mania in his heart from his tone.
"Can you let me try it? I'm here to tell you a little bit about growing plants. You also know that I have a high affinity for plants, and I thought I could help you. Si Nian said what he thought.
Richard was stunned for a moment and said: "Although I appreciate your idea of helping me, I think the most important thing for you now is to study hard, pharmacy is not only plant affinity, you must systematically learn all kinds of basic knowledge." Only in this way will you be able to help me better in the future. ”
Although Xingcao's problem did bother him, Richard didn't want it to affect Si Nian's studies. As he said, to become a good pharmacist, plant affinity is not enough, and a thorough understanding of the basics is the beginning of a good job.
Si Nian didn't want to convince Richard in empty words, after all, he had already seen the importance that people in the interstellar age attached to plants. But he was confident that he would be able to convince Richard, especially if the other party was so troubled.
"I know the basics are important, but I guess it's not that difficult for me to take care of plants." Si Nian said and put the environmental bag in his hand on the table.
Richard frowned slightly, although he admired Si Nian very much, he didn't want Si Nian to become too arrogant.
Si Nian didn't explain, he felt that it was better to speak with facts.
He took out the well-growing mimosa from the bag and touched the leaves of the mimosa very casually.
As if she was really shy, the mimosa gently rolled up the emerald green leaves.
Richard:......
Isn't it said that when mutated mimosas, they will have a slight attack on human touch? Why didn't Si Nian look like he was being attacked at all?
No, shouldn't the mimosa's reaction be a little too strange? It's like I'm really shy. Why don't you scratch him with leaves?
Is this differential treatment?
It's no wonder that Richard is so resentful, you must know that he also got a pot of mimosa at the beginning, because he saw its cute appearance, he directly touched the leaf with his hand, who knew that the mimosa looked delicate, but the leaf was quite powerful, and when it curled up, it rolled Richard's fingers fiercely.
It took a great deal of effort for Richard to get his finger out, but it was swollen by the time he took it out. Although a long time has passed, if you look closely, you can still see some small scratches on Richard's fingertips, which have become a pain that he will never forget, and until now he still rarely uses mimosas.
But why, is this mimosa in front of me mutating again on the basis of mutation?
Or is it possessed by something unclean?
Well, Richard is an atheist, and he absolutely doesn't believe in possession or something.
Richard lightly slapped the mimosa with his stick, really only a very slight, just touching it, but the mimosa still curled up the leaves sharply.
Richard tried to pull the stick off, but it didn't twitch.
He glanced at Si Nian, who understood and put his finger next to the leaf where the stick was rolled. The leaves of the mimosa moved slightly, and the stick was gone.
Si Nian gently rubbed the leaf with his hand, and the leaf trembled twice as if it felt itchy.
Richard looked blankly at the stick in his hand, and then at the mimosa in his hand, although he had always known the importance of plant affinity, he had never thought that it could have such a terrible effect.
Is this really the effect of plant affinity? Richard was confused for a moment, but then put the thought behind him.
What he wants is a qualified apprentice, and as for whether there are any other secrets in this apprentice, it is not something he needs to delve into.
"Mr. Richard, what you get on paper is shallow, and I think that if you actually do it, you will have a deeper understanding of knowledge. There aren't many courses right now, so why not give me a try? Si Nian continued to fight.
Richard pondered for a moment, and had to say that Si Nian's hand really moved him.
He originally accepted Si Nian's apprentice in the hope that the other party could help plant plants, but now he has just advanced the Yiqiē plan, and it seems that there is no problem.
Richard finally nodded and agreed with Si Nian's plan, but he also told Si Nian bluntly: "You are still in the investigation period, you can help me plant an ordinary plant like Star Grass, if the effect is really good and does not delay your study, I may give you more plants." ”
As for what would happen if he didn't meet his requirements or if it affected Si Nian's studies, Richard didn't say, but he thought that both of them knew it in their hearts.
Si Nian naturally agreed, and he didn't want to touch high-end plants that were too expensive until he was sure.
The main reason is that I am worried that I will not be able to afford to pay for it......
"I can help you cultivate some star grass first, if there are too many of them, I'm worried that the effect won't be too good, how many plants do you need a day?" Si Nian asked.
"I need at least five trees a day." Richard gave a figure that was not too high, he didn't want Si Nian to feel overburdened, in fact he thought that Si Nian might not even be able to guarantee this number.
Si Nian didn't say that he couldn't do it, but he didn't immediately make a package ticket, but just asked Richard for a rectangular flower pot, ready to dig up a little of the seedlings that Richard had planted.
It takes a process for plants to sprout from seed to germination, and since Richard was short of time, Si Nian thought about simply digging a little back from the plants that the other party had planted.
"Of course you can, I have planted a lot, don't look at this nursery is very small, but there are thousands of seeds in it, you can still bring a little seed back, do you need it?" Richard didn't care about this cheap plant.
"If it's convenient." Si Nian replied.
"Of course, the seeds of the star grass are actually very cheap."
This kind of cheapness is of course relative to Richard, for Si Nian, who only has a few star coins on his body as a spare spend, any expenditure needs to be carefully calculated.
"I'll get you a smaller shovel so it won't hurt the seedlings." Richard said and buried his head in the search.
Si Nian saw a small shovel the size of a palm next to the nursery, what else did he need to find?
So he picked up the shovel and said, "No, Mr. Richard, there is a shovel here." ”
Richard wondered, he remembered that he had put the mini shovel in a drawer, could he be mistaken?
"Well, then you be careful, don't hurt the ...... of the plants," Richard didn't finish his words, because when he looked up, he saw Si Nian poke the "huge" shovel from the edge of the nursery mercilessly, and then threw a large piece of soil with the seedlings into the flower pot that had just been given to him.
Richard:......
Can such a student really be able to cultivate Star Grass well?
