Without instruments, Charlie had no way to control the acid-base balance of the soil and accurately measure trace elements, so he had to abandon the soil composition experiment.

In any case, as he progressed through round after round of experiments, he had more and more favorable factors at his disposal, and quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes.

On the other side, in Maca's house, there is another scene, in fact, the weeping grass is very easy to raise, because the caretaker of the botanical garden has basically understood its temperament and has a complete set of cultivation methods.

Maca's advantages are unimaginable to Charlie, although the soil is the same, Maca has a trump card: the first-order natural spell scroll "Nourishment", it can release a certain amount of life energy, can promote the growth of any plant, increase its vitality, is a universal scroll without any poisonous side effects.

This is the benefit of the Ron Botanical Garden, Master Ron has accepted more than a dozen registered disciples, and the most common daily work of these magic apprentices is to make natural spell scrolls to "nourish", and they will be widely used in the cultivation of the Botanical Garden.

Of course, in fact, there are spells that are more effective than "nourishment", the third-order natural spell "growth", it contains more abundant life energy, which can shorten the time for plant growth and development, if you use this kind of scroll, Charlie will have no chance of winning, but these scrolls are made by Master Ron himself, they are expensive, the number is limited, and any use will be recorded, and Martin does not dare to use them easily.

In addition to this trump card, Martin also buried another pit for this game, and there is a necessary step before the weeping grass grows into an adult plant, which can even be called a ritual, called "buried crying", which is a pattern discovered by the botanical garden's caregivers after countless failures.

On the sixth night of growth, the weeping grass seedlings are buried in the soil, and on the seventh day, when the sun falls on the soil, the weeping grass will make a child-like crying sound, break through the mud, and complete the metamorphosis.

Before the start of the competition, Maca patted Martin's chest and promised him to win, betting on his farming career!

A week was spent in a busy state, and Charlie seemed to have entered the state of work in his previous life, busy and fulfilling, although he was a quantum physicist, and now he is a botanist.

The organic fertilizer was made on the third day and came in handy, and by the fifth day, he had basically figured out the habits of the weeping weed, and the last two days were cultivated in the optimal environment he had set: just the right amount of light, the right temperature, the right amount of water and fertilizer, and if the weary was self-conscious, he must be grateful for the caring care.

Finally, the week-long competition entered the judging session, which was held in front of the open space outside the two experimental rooms.

Martin specially invited Brian as a guest and sat with him in the guest seat, and the judges' bench sat three old men in purple uniforms, their skin was dark, their faces were wrinkled, and they had many of the characteristics of laborers, but that certainty and confidence identified their identity, such an expert-level talent, even Martin and Master Ron's assistants had to be polite.

Charlie and Maca are ready to enter the competition, one left and one right, waiting for the judging to begin.

Martin nodded to the three Zizhang herbalists and said, "Carl, Perrault, and Evan, hello, I wasted the precious time of the three of you today, I didn't want to do this, but in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the game, at the request of our player, such a big formation was dispatched." ”

This is obviously the evaluation rules proposed by himself, but he puts the responsibility on his head, Charlie sneers at this hypocritical man, and only sneers in his heart.

Carl said: "Okay, let's not say polite words, let's get straight to the point, I'm still busy!"

Martin smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll make a long story short, this guy in front of me is the nephew of Brian, the steward of the castle, trying to challenge the authority of Master Maca, I held a weeping grass breeding competition for the two of them, for seven days, today is the day when the results of the competition will be announced, please judge the masters, which of the two of them cultivated the weeping grass is healthier and stronger? ”

Carl couldn't help laughing: "A third-order blue medal and an apprentice compete in planting techniques, I have lived for most of my life and it is the first time I have seen it, it is really embarrassing!"

Evan stroked a strand of his beard and said with a smile: "A small competition, the director of the garden is engaged in such a big battle, it seems that the plan is not small!"

Martin had an embarrassed look on his face, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, these herbalists were really not likable at all, and just as he was thinking about how to respond, Maca opened up and freed him from his embarrassment.

Maca glanced at Charlie and said, "There is actually nothing to say about the cultivation of weeping grass, this is a necessary skill for the green chapter nurse, I think any nurse who is handed over to the botanical garden can take good care of it, but it is not necessarily the case for a layman."

If you survive, it means that people are still smart, so you should be more self-aware.

Green chapter nurse is an entry threshold, after each level, it is a different stage, green chapter to blue chapter is a new level, young people are far-sighted is a good thing, but, more often than not, we still have to be down-to-earth, recognize the reality.

I'm willing to compete with you, just to let you see the difference between amateur and professional, and let you see how big the gap is between us, just to frustrate your spirit.

There were 20 seedlings in this competition, and I chose three of them with the best growth, so please take a look!"

With that, Makara got out of the curtain on the car.

Arrogant!

However, Charlie is not a jerky hairy boy, he can speak with facts, never speak quickly, and let him float for a while.

"Wow, wow......" A series of cries startled Charlie, and something amazing happened.

Under the curtain, the three clay pots filled with dirt on the car suddenly let out a childlike cry, and then, the dirt in the center was arched, and the dark green plants emerged from the dirt at a speed visible to the naked eye......

The power of the first birth is the most powerful force in the world, breaking through all things in the world, the vitality is so abundant, the action of breaking through the ground lasted for dozens of seconds, until it grew more than twenty centimeters, and the speed began to slow down.

Among them, the middle plant is the most luxuriant, with a height of nearly 30 centimeters, and spreads seven leaves, the largest of which has a hint of lilac, and the edge of the leaf is covered with jagged thorns, which are deadly stingers.

Is this the true form of the weeping grass?!

Brian was dumbfounded, and Charlie frowned tightly, his face was very ugly, if he judged purely from the size of the plant, he had already lost.

Charlie couldn't help but wonder in his mind: why does seven days grow so fast? Shouldn't he have figured out its habits?

Maca's proud gaze wandered around, as if asking, who else, who else can compare with me?!

Martin breathed a sigh of relief, and the arc of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Perrault's eyes were full of disdain: "Maka, I really don't know what makes you happy here, three weeping plants, six nourishing scrolls, let a nurse do it step by step, it won't be worse than you, are you very proud?"

If there's any point in this competition, then the significance is that Director Martin used weeping grass to test the superposition effect of the nourishing scroll, which looks quite amazing! It shortens the growth period by at least five days, but I want to ask: Do you need money for the scroll? You can squander it at will?!When did the master give you such permission?!"

The other two masters also showed disdainful expressions and shook their heads.

Karl added: "Maka, when you can cultivate this level without scrolls, you can call yourself a herbalist, we are not magicians, and all methods that rely on special means are sideways!

At this moment, Martin's tricks were exposed in public, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, and he didn't know how to round the game, he regretted a little that he let the purple chapter herbalist evaluate the game, with their experience, it was indeed easy to discern the doorway inside.

Right now, the situation is a little out of control, Martin quietly looked at Brian beside him, if this old butler makes a fuss, it will be difficult for him to get Jordan's staff smoothly, it is really a big trouble, and it will not do him any good.

Evan made a conclusion and sneered, "This game is the most boring, the most wasteful, the most meaningless game I've ever seen! ”

What presumptuous! Martin's face sank like water, and his anger was full of nowhere to vent.

Who is the director of the botanical garden?!Don't think that with the title of master, you can do whatever you want?! Martin wants to stop the three of them and ask them to come to a final conclusion, otherwise, his early investment will be in vain.

At this time, Charlie stood up and said with a smile: "Since the masters are here, why don't you take a look at my work? I don't use scrolls, and I can't afford to use them." ”

In a word, keep three herbalists.

The three of them looked at each other, and Carl snorted softly: "Okay, give you a chance, I hope you don't get as boring as Maka!"

Charlie bowed slightly, and said: "The situation of the weeping grass I raised seems to be a little different from that of Master Maca, I only used some basic botanical techniques, such as: provide them with the most suitable light, temperature and humidity, and then apply some organic fertilizer, of course, because I was not familiar with its habits before, I did many experiments to find the best growth environment, and now they grow like this." ”

With that, Charlie ripped off the curtain.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the wooden cart in front of him, and when it was different from Maca, Charlie brought all the weeping grass seedlings over, and their height was not much different, the highest height was not more than fifteen centimeters, which was a lot shorter than Maca's work.

However, they are different from ordinary weeping plants, the leaves are no longer green, but purple-red, full of vein-like veins, those veins seem to flow with red liquid, quite permeable, five of the twenty pots of plants have flower bones, and three pots have purple red flowers, the texture of the flowers is very peculiar, like a terrible grimace, slightly exuding a sweet smell, at first glance it feels like an extremely dangerous plant.

When checking the explanation, the three masters were confused by a series of terms he threw out, light, temperature and humidity, as the name suggests, can be understood, but they are not commonly used in the mainland, the mainland does not have similar terms, think about it, and feel very vivid.

If these three words can be understood, then what is "organic fertilizer"?

Then, when he showed his work, the doubts in the minds of the masters were put out of their minds, and they were immediately stunned by the scene before them.

Evan stood up suddenly, and almost knocked over the table in front of him: "This ...... This is a grimace?!"

"What?!Grimace?" Carl and Perrault looked shocked.

Martin and Maca were even more dumbfounded, stunned by this sudden turn of events.
