Chapter 171: A Smooth Start
Fang Zheng and Nanali naturally didn't know what Kulia was doing, they just watched the girl leave in a hurry, and then brought an old man back in a hurry. Seeing the old man in front of her, Nanali suddenly became nervous.
"Grow up!"
"President?"
Hearing Nanali's words, Fang Zheng couldn't help but take a closer look at the old man in front of him, indeed, the old man in front of him was quite generous from the outside, but he himself didn't have much strength, he didn't look like a warrior or a mage, but Fang Zheng just glanced at the other party, and he felt that his eyes were going blind.
Without him, it was simply because the magic aura that burst out of this old man's body was too dazzling.
How many high-level magic props are being worn, the real local tyrant is really impossible to look at.
If Fang Zheng throws a magic aura to the old man at this time, I'm afraid he will become a second little sun.
"Hello, Nanali, long time no see."
Like all people in high positions, the old man smiled and greeted Nanali without the slightest presence, and then began to carefully observe what was in front of him. He walked from one end of the greenhouse to the other, carefully observing the crops in front of him, and even reached out to pinch the fruit and branches of the orange fruit, and also grabbed a handful of soil and studied it carefully.
After a long while, the old man stood up and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's a great idea, well, a lot of people think that alchemists are looking for the ultimate in mystery, but in fact, we don't need that powerful spells to change the world......... You're doing well, Nanali. β
With that, the old man looked at Nanali again and smiled.
"I know some of your things, and I'm glad you've made a difference. Don't think that an invention made from materials like slime is inconspicuous, in fact, the more mundane it is, the more it tests the strength of an alchemist. It's not unusual for anyone to be able to use dragon's blood to create brute force potions. But if you're able to make brute force flasks out of powerful mushrooms, that's the real thing. At least for now, I think your invention is mature and useful. β
"Thank you, Lord!"
Hearing the old man's evaluation, Nanali's face turned red with excitement, she knew the old man's identity very well, to be honest, Nanali never thought that she could get such a high evaluation from him.
"So, can you tell me how you came up with this?"
"This ........."
Hearing the old man's inquiry, Nanali's face was a little complicated, but she hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
In fact, the Elder Grows......... It was Mr. Ezio and Miss Nimfu who gave me advice, and I was only responsible for doing the work. Actually, at first, I didn't expect such a good effect........."
"Oh?"
The old man was visibly surprised by Nanali's answer, and then he looked up at Fang Zheng and the blue-haired cherub beside him.
"Are these two alchemists too?"
"We're not alchemists."
Fang Zheng shook his head at the old man's inquiry.
"In fact, we should say Miss Nanali's relatives plus employers......... Well, we want to be able to do some business and trade here, and we have a little friendship with Miss Nanali, so we invest here, and we want to rely on Miss Nanali's alchemy to do some alchemical trade. β
When it comes to making up nonsense, Founder's skills are at least LV5. At least he said so with his eyes open, and it wasn't his question whether others believed it or not.
"I see."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the old man nodded as if he had realized something, and didn't say anything more. Just as in the world of Founder, many companies invest in research labs, and in this world, it is nothing new for businessmen to invest in alchemists. In fact, many of the inventions in the Alchemist Guild are the result of similar investment research.
But even so, the old man still looked at Fang Zheng meaningfully for a while, you must know that ordinary businessmen do not have such skills, they may be able to come up with a lot of ideas on a whim, but it is not so easy to turn these ideas into reality.
According to what Nanali said just now, the young man in front of him not only provided novel ideas, but even gave suggestions on raw materials, and all Nanali did was process them through alchemy techniques. If so, then the core of these inventions is not Nanali, but the young man in front of him.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Ezio, Ezio. Auditore. β
"Mr. Ezio, these whimsical ideas of yours are really interesting......... Well, for now, I think that's valuable......... What are you planning to do next? β
"Of course."
Since it is talking about business, Founder will not waste this opportunity.
"In fact, greenhouses and slime fertilizers are just the first step, and when the time comes, I want to plan to study soilless cultivation technology........."
"Soilless cultivation?"
Hearing this, the old man's eyes widened in surprise, the word was actually very easy to understand, but because of this, he couldn't believe his ears.
"You mean to say? Do you want to research a technique for growing crops without soil? Can this be done? β
"Of course, but the specifics ......... Allow me to sell it first. β
Fang Zheng also came up with this after confirming that slime's fertilizer can speed up the growth of crops, although soilless cultivation itself is a very delicate skill, but with Nimfu and Nanali, plus slime fertilizer, it is not difficult to make a nutrient solution for soilless cultivation.
But this is based on the fact that there is no problem with the slime fertilizer itself.
Otherwise, Founder's plan would be completely ruined.
"Grandpa!"
Seeing her grandfather chatting with others here, Kulia, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, also hurriedly shouted. After hearing his granddaughter's voice, the old man also smiled.
"Okay, I know......... Well, leave it to me. β
As he spoke, the old man took out a small box from his arms, and when he saw this scene, Fang Zheng also raised his eyebrows.
"It's ........."
"Hehehe, I'm ashamed to say that I'm here mainly because my lovely granddaughter asked me to test the composition of these fruits......... Well, although in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with these oranges, but it is still necessary to check them. β
As he spoke, the old man opened the box, and then Fang Zheng and the others saw a ball of pure water emerge from it, and then turned into a bird-like creature and landed on the old man's shoulder.
Elemental creatures.
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng also narrowed his eyes slightly. As a mage who specializes in spells, he certainly knows the power of elemental creatures. In particular, this kind of elemental creature that can shape itself must be a high-level elemental creature. It's just that what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that unlike the mage who summoned through the elemental plane, could he actually hold such a high-level elemental creature?
It seems that the alchemist is not an easy character to deal with.
"What is this?"
Looking at the water bird, Nanali also asked her own question curiously. After hearing her friend's inquiry, Kulia proudly puffed up her almost empty breasts.
"This is Grandpa's most powerful companion, don't underestimate it, it can break down the elements of any food, and judge its value. If there is any danger or harm to these oranges, then it can also detect it? β
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng's eyes lit up. The reason why he had to be cautious about experimenting was because Fang Zheng knew that even if he said that these things were fine. Others won't believe it, and to put it bluntly, you can't reassure others without getting real and reliable data through repeated experiments. But now, with the endorsement of the president of the Alchemist Guild, there is no need to worry about security.
The old man also smiled at Nanali and Fang Zheng, then reached out and whispered something to the waterfowl on his shoulder. The waterfowl, the size of a sparrow, spread its wings and flew to one of the orange trees, and then ......... Suddenly, like a snake, it opened its mouth and swallowed the entire orange fruit tree along with its roots.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This can also be done?
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng's eyes widened in surprise. Although the orange fruit tree is not as tall as ordinary trees, it is more like a bush, only more than half a meter high, but the waterfowl is only the size of a sparrow......... Is this okay?
After swallowing the orange fruit tree, the size of the water bird also inflated like a balloon, and Fang Zheng and the others could even clearly see the orange fruit tree that it had swallowed. The orange tree seemed to have been soaked in some kind of liquid, and then gradually began to decompose into some kind of pale green substance, which was then absorbed by the water birds.
And with the complete decomposition of the orange fruit tree, the body of the water bird also became more and more verdant. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng twitched the corners of his mouthβββ which reminded him of a muscular weirdo with a green body......... Is this still glowing?
On second thought, it seems that slimes are green.........
Is it messed up?
"I didn't expect ........."
At the same time, the old man's eyes widened in surprise, staring at the emerald water bird in front of him, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Zheng and Nanali.
"Mr. Ezio, Miss Nanali, your invention is wonderful!"
