For those living in L.A., there is a place that no one can avoid.

That's Knowles' Orchard on the west hill of Los Angeles.

Not to mention that the fruits needed for the lives of all people in L.A. are supplied by Knowles Orchard, but the fact that Knowles Orchard and its related industries provide nearly one-third of the jobs in L.A. is enough to show its importance to L.A.

In fact, compared with Los Angeles, which is an ordinary prefecture-level city, Knowles's Orchard, which is the only three large-scale fruit production bases in Liuguo County, has more important strategic significance.

Since the arrival of the tide of spiritual power, especially since the defeat of the abyss battlefield more than two thousand years ago, the power of the abyss invaded the earth, and the geological composition of the entire earth has undergone major changes.

A large part of the land has lost its ability to nourish plants, and the land that can provide edible crops for humans has become quite limited.

Although with the gradual mastery of extraordinary power by human beings, especially with the development of the professional system of founders, human beings have mastered the method of using energy materials to directly convert artificial food to meet the needs of human survival.

However, there is a kind of material necessary for life that still cannot be obtained by energy conversion, and must always be obtained by primitive cultivation.

That's vitamins.

In today's world, vitamins have become the most important and valuable strategic reserves.

The soil that produces a steady stream of vitamin-rich fruits is the world's most valuable asset.

It can be said that the mountain forest occupied by Knowles' orchard alone is enough to buy six or seven cities of the Los Angeles level at the price of land.

Very few people know, even the Lou family, the nominal owner of this Knowles orchard.

The name of this orchard should be prefixed with the word Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Knowles, the humble and remote branch of the Knowles, are the real owners of this orchard.

But this has little to do with Lou Cheng.

Even though Knowles' Orchard can earn a staggering amount of wealth every year, this wealth has always been overseen by an organization called the "Family Fund Management Committee".

Until he truly becomes an adult to inherit the position of head of the family, all he can do is have a limited amount of dividends that are regularly credited into his account every month.

Knowles' orchards occupy the entire West Hill, and it is lush and full of fruit trees hanging with fruit.

Turquoise leaves, fresh and attractive fruits, and a little bit of bright sunshine.

From afar, it looks like a fairyland.

There are many varieties of fruit trees planted in Knowles' orchards.

From primordial fruits left over from before the outbreak of the spiritual power tide to improved fruits that are grafted and fused with primordial fruits from the dungeon world.

It can be said that Knowles' Orchard has the largest variety of fruits in the entire Rokukoku County.

However, the most important thing in Knowles' orchard is the "Blood Spirit Fruit" planted on the top of Xishan Mountain, which covers an area of less than ten acres.

The Blood Spirit Fruit obtained by grafting the branches of the Holy Fruit "Blood God Fruit" obtained from the dungeon world and the original fruit "Orange" is rich in vitamins and a large amount of qi and blood power.

Only a small one can meet the vitamin needs of an ordinary professional for about half a year, and can provide a large amount of pure qi and blood power for the eater.

In the professional circle, the Blood Spirit Fruit has always been a sought-after item in short supply.

The Blood Spirit Fruit and the various medicines obtained by using the Blood Spirit Fruit to potify it have always been the first choice for professionals to use as a vitamin supplement before entering the dungeon in the Six Kingdoms County and several surrounding counties.

After all, most of the dungeon worlds do not exist as vitamin food, and a large number of vitamin supplies are important items that professionals must carry when entering the dungeon world.

Professionals have a limited amount of space for their belongings.

How to reduce the space wasted on carrying vitamin supplements as much as possible is a big headache for every professional.

In order to solve this problem, they are willing to spend a lot of financial resources.

The "Blood Spirit Fruit" on the top of Xishan Mountain, which covers an area of less than ten acres, can bring a huge amount of wealth to the Lou family every year.

Lou Zi'an was the only one who had the right to enter the orchard.

Knowles Orchard has tens of thousands of employees, and Lou Zi'an is the most special one.

Lou Zi'an is the best fruit farmer and the best horticulturist in Knowles' Orchard.

This piece of blood spirit fruit was grafted and cultivated by Lou Zi'an himself.

Even now, those creators still couldn't understand why an ordinary person who wasn't even a professional could create a divine object like the Blood Spirit Fruit through the most crude means of grafting.

They didn't even understand why these Blood Spirit Fruits couldn't grow and multiply once they left this land.

For the people who grew up in Los Angeles, Lou Zi'an has another identity - the oldest ordinary person in the entire Los Angeles.

In this era, the life expectancy of those professionals is very long, even ordinary formal professionals have a lifespan of nearly 200 years.

Those high-level kingly thrones have thousands or even tens of thousands of years of long life.

However, the life expectancy of ordinary people is very short.

Due to the erosion of increasingly violent spiritual power, it is difficult for the vast majority of ordinary people to live past the age of sixty.

However, the old man Lou Zi'an has been the gardener of choice for Knowles' orchards for more than 100 years, and it is said that his appearance has not changed since then...

At this moment, the old man Lou Zi'an was standing quietly in front of a blood spirit fruit tree.

An old man who was so old that he exuded a dull air of death, a large tree that was lush and green and hung with bright red fruit.

At first glance, it looks particularly incongruous.

The old man looked at the fruit tree and sighed deeply.

"Hey! Poor little thing. “

Following his gaze, he found that one of the Blood Spirit Fruits hanging from the branches of the fruit tree did not seem to be in very good condition.

The ordinary Blood Spirit Fruit is bright red all over, and it looks like the brightest ruby, exuding an alluring fragrance.

However, this Blood Spirit Fruit was a little black and astringent, and when it was sniffed carefully, it seemed to emit an unpleasant fishy smell.

The old man slowly walked up to the Blood Spirit Fruit and gently stroked the Blood Spirit Fruit.

The withered, wrinkled old hands slowly moved on the surface of the strange blood spirit fruit.

Suddenly something strange happened.

The Blood Spirit Fruit slowly became a little more round and fresh, and the color of the fruit became much redder.

Soon the Blood Spirit Fruit became the same as the other fruits.

A satisfied smile began to appear on the old man's face, and he looked happily at the rejuvenated fruit, as if looking at a remarkable work of art.
