Chapter 2 The Flower God System
"Xiao Ai, do I have flowers on my face?" Zhang Ling stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said.
"No, it's just that you don't always hate gobbling up food! Isn't it too bitter to transform the star? Xiao Ai said with a distressed face.
The Terraforming Star is a planet discovered by humans from the edge of the solar system 8 years ago, and under the joint efforts of the United Earth Government, it has become a galactic satellite for mankind in order to resist alien attacks. Because the mortality rate of the Transformation Star was extremely high, during Zhang Ling's 3 years of service in the Transformation Star, even Su Xiaoai thought that Zhang Ling was dead.
Zhang Ling shook his head with a smile and said slowly: "The food of the Transformation Star is still very good, I just miss your green pepper scrambled eggs, they are still so delicious." β
Xiao Ai didn't know the situation of the transformation star, but he was very happy to see that Zhang Ling was safe and sound. Regarding how Zhang Ling spent the past three years, if he wanted to say, he would naturally tell himself.
"Has the old man ever been back?" Zhang Ling asked casually.
Xiao Ai shook his head and said, "It's just that grandpa appeared once when you left three years ago, and you haven't come back yet." β
Looking at Xiao Ai's worried look, Zhang Ling said hatefully: "That bad old man is like this, he only cares about playing by himself, where to take care of his family." If he likes to play, go play, anyway, I'm back now. By the way, didn't the old man leave a lot of money, Xiao Ai, why did you live such a hard time? β
Hearing Zhang Ling's inquiry, Xiao Ai hesitated and said, "Yes, it was taken away." β
"Taken away?" Zhang Ling frowned, he remembered that the old man had left a lot of money, and just relying on the management of Suzaku Street to collect fees, it would take at least a hundred years, how could it be taken away in less than three years?
Xiao Ai lowered his head and said: "In the second year after you and your grandfather left, someone said that the property rights of our house had reached the deadline, and we had to pay the land use fee again, and the 50 million left by our grandfather was taken away by them." β
"50 million land use fees?" Zhang Ling smiled coldly, not to mention whether the land property rights have really expired, just based on the old man's contribution to the country, no one dares to come here to collect land use fees.
"Yes, I'm sorry......" Xiao Ai buried her head lower.
"Xiao Ai, how can I blame you, I feel sorry for you! You gave all the money out, what do you eat? Zhang Ling rubbed Xiao Ai's head and said gently.
"There is a plot of land in the yard, I have planted some vegetables, and I have raised a few chickens, but ...... But it doesn't lay eggs. Xiao Ai said with a red face.
Zhang Ling had already seen the little chicken pen in the corner of the yard, there were only three chickens in total, even if the three chickens lay eggs every day, it would not be enough to eat!
At night, Xiao Ai tidied up the room, Zhang Ling lay on the bed alone and looked at the ceiling, and said in pieces: "System, come out!" Don't you want to raise flowers, my house is a flower shop, how do you say to raise them? β
"Master, although the soil quality here is better than other places, it is still not suitable for raising flowers, so it is recommended that the owner find the right soil." A cold voice appeared in Zhang Ling's mind.
"Can't raise a single one? What use do you say you're for? You said that I have more natural qi in me than others, and you want to merge with me, and I have satisfied you; You said that the Transformation Star is not suitable for raising flowers, and I am retired now; You said that you want to find a place where you can raise flowers, my house is a flower shop, at least better than others; You're telling me that the soil quality is poor, what do you mean? β
The system was silent for a while and said, "Master, if you can collect some morning dew, the soil here is still suitable for raising a kind of flower." β
"What flowers?" Zhang Ling was interested.
"The intoxicating rose, the lowest flower in the system."
"Morning dew is morning dew?" Zhang Ling looked at the introduction of the system, the so-called morning dew is the dew that the sun rises for five to ten minutes in the morning. The night was cold and the water was cold, and the purple qi came out of the east, and in that moment, the dew would be purified, but it would only be less than ten minutes.
"I water the flowers with dew, how much dew do I have to collect?"
Zhang Ling's complaint was not exchanged for a gift from the system, but a task.
System Mission: Planting and breeding intoxicating roses
Task requirements: remove all garbage plants in the yard, plough the soil, and collect 10 catties of morning dew to water the soil within 10 minutes of tomorrow morning light.
Reward: 10 points of natural qi, 100 catties of low-level nutrient soil
Zhang Ling blinked, and told himself in his heart to keep his bearing, he was a generation of soldiers, and he would not be angry with a second-class system.
"Is there anything special about this flower?" Zhang Ling asked.
γFlower God Scienceγ
Intoxicating Rose: A low-grade flower
Flower language: fiery love
Also known as: Dream Flower
Plant characteristics: erect shrub, half a meter high, stout, clumped, thorny.
Efficacy: It reminds people of the beauty of the past and improves olfactory sensitivity by 1%
Application: Just smell it
"Damn, can you improve your sense of smell?" Zhang Ling was speechless, he even had his own attributes, which was a bit against the sky!
Collecting 10 catties of dew in 10 minutes is definitely not possible to collect by hand, but for a warrior like Zhang Ling, who has extremely rich experience in field combat, it is much simpler. Fortunately, there are some ordinary trees along the Vermilion River in Zhang Ling's home, and some simple wire erection and collection bag installation are carried out, and you just need to wait for the next day to collect them on time.
"Who are you? What are you doing sneaky? Just as Zhang Ling was installing tools by the river, the muzzle of a black hole was already aimed at him.
"Miss Qianqian, don't come unharmed, it's not a good habit to point a gun at someone." Zhang Ling stopped what he was doing and smiled lightly, and sighed that Tang Qianqian, the law enforcer, was really dedicated.
"Is that you? What are you doing by the river in the middle of the night? β
"Collect the dew."
"What are you collecting dew for?" Tang Qianqian didn't believe it.
"Plant flowers, Miss Qianqian, you know that my family still owes management fees."
"Heh, do you think you can pay off the management fee of 500,000 yuan with a few flowers? In a few days, it's a million. Besides, who grows flowers with dew, who do you lie? Of course Tang Qianqian didn't believe it, if it weren't for Su Xiaoai's relationship, she would probably have arrested Zhang Ling.
"Okay, Miss Qianqian doesn't count. Of course, if Miss Qianqian is going to come to buy flowers tomorrow, then she is extremely welcome. Zhang Ling smiled warmly.
"Hmph, I told you earlier, I will keep an eye on you, don't let me find out what you are doing."
Looking at Tang Qianqian's leaving, Zhang Ling touched his nose and muttered, why can't this girl get along with me? You can't be fancy me, right? That's not going to work......
The next morning, Zhang Ling finished his work, planted dozens of seeds in the system and went to sleep. He felt terrible, and it was easy to go home, and he didn't let people get a good night's sleep.
"Ahh
Zhang Ling, who was awakened by the screams, subconsciously showed the miniature dagger hidden in his sleeve, and when he walked out of the door, he saw Su Xiaoai squatting on the ground and sobbing.
"What's wrong! Why do you cry? Zhang Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Ai, touched her little face and said.
"The vegetables and flowers I planted are gone, someone must have sneaked into our house yesterday, and those real estate developers must have done it." Su Xiaoai cried so much that she stared at the land that had been turned over and said.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I turned the ground, and I got rid of the vegetables and flowers. No, do you see the green shoots in the ground? I planted it newly, and when I went back to the house and slept again, new flowers and plants grew. Zhang Ling half-hugged Su Xiaoai and comforted.
"Wow...... I know you're coaxing me, how can I grow flowers in half a day, unless it's a synthetic genetically modified variety. Su Xiaoai immediately cried loudly.
"Little fool, there are many ways to raise flowers, this is really my doing, don't believe it, don't believe it, you will come back to see it later." Zhang Ling pinched Su Xiaoai's nose and said dotingly.
"But, but ......"
"No, I didn't sleep much to get these things, let's go to sleep." Saying that, Zhang Ling picked up Su Xiaoai and went back to the room directly.
"Ah Ling...... Me, my room is over there. Su Xiaoai stiffened and said nervously.
The corners of Zhang Ling's mouth rose slightly, as if he hadn't heard it, and after putting Su Xiaoai down on his bed, he fell asleep, holding Su Xiaoai's body that was no longer too nervous and stiff with both hands.
"Ah Ling......." Su Xiaoai blushed and whispered in her ear.
"Ah Ling......"
Su Xiaoai wanted to shout again, but when she heard Zhang Ling's slight voice, she breathed a sigh of relief for a while, but she was slightly disappointed. She was afraid of waking Zhang Ling, so she didn't dare to move, and she began to worry about the flowers and plants in the courtyard again, and fell asleep in a daze in her grievances.
When Su Xiaoai woke up again, Zhang Ling was no longer there. She recalled that the embrace was so warm, she couldn't hold back for a while and fell asleep, it was the first time she got up so late, it was a shame.
When she went out, Su Xiaoai smelled a strange fragrance, which seemed to arouse the warmth of people's hearts, as if she was tolerated by love.
Su Xiaoai suddenly fell into memory.
"Little sister, what's your name?" A little boy said to the little girl with a dirty face.
"My name is Su Xiaoai." The little girl was sobbing.
"Where's your mom and dad?" The little boy asked.
"It's all gone." The little girl cried.
"My mom and dad are gone, but I still have a grandpa. Come to my house, how about I raise you! The little boy took the little girl's hand and tilted his head back and said.
"Xiao Ai, are you up? I don't know where to start! Zhang Ling walked out of the kitchen, with an apron in front of him and a spoon in his hand.
Su Xiaoai, who was suddenly awakened by Zhang Ling, immediately saw dozens of delicate and blooming red roses in the yard, her face was full of incredulity, but she saw that her mouth was slightly open, and she was speechless.
Seeing Zhang Ling's home image, Su Xiaoai immediately laughed, the domineering man yesterday is now full of sadness, it is so cute.
"Ah Ling, what are you doing?"
"Boiled chicken!"
Xiao Ai turned her head and looked, sure enough, there was a chicken missing, she didn't feel sorry for the chicken, but looking at Zhang Ling's image at the moment, she suddenly felt like crying, at this moment she felt very happy, sudden happiness.
"Little fool, why are you crying again? Come and help me cook chicken broth, it's much harder to cook a chicken than to kill it. Zhang Ling rubbed his nose with his arm and said.
"Pss
Xiao Ai hurriedly trotted over and took the spoon in Zhang Ling's hand. Although she was surprised by the roses in that yard, it was still important to cook, and she didn't want Zhang Ling to be hungry.
Half an hour later, a man and a woman in the courtyard, each holding a bowl of chicken soup, were squatting on the edge of the flower pond while eating and looking at the roses in front of them.
"Ah Ling, you are so good, can you tell me how to grow it?"
"Xiao Ai, this is a long and tortuous story, to put it simply, I have seeds, to put it simply, I have superpowers!" Zhang Ling said while nibbling on a chicken leg.
Xiao Ai turned her head to look at Zhang Ling's smiling face, and the latter's two slightly narrowed eyes seemed to have magical power, which suddenly made her little face crimson.
"Ah Ling, I believe in you."
