Compared to the height of summer in the southern hemisphere, the northern region is now in winter, and the weather is colder.

"But,Compared to the snowy situation in my hometown,The school park is much better.。

In the lounge of the Birdwind Tower, Heshea and several classmates were chatting around a table with a warm stove and two cats, a gray cat and a tanuki cat, squatting beside them.

"Because it is a northern area, it is an area surrounded by mountains and valleys, and it is not directly blown by the north wind, so it will be much warmer." Mel said as he looked at the gray kitten under him and tried to pick it up, but the guy seemed a little reluctant, probably in the rebellious period.

"Wow, cats don't like me anymore." Mel was a little disappointed.

"Meow~" The gray moon cat below meowed when she heard it, and then continued to lie down, lying down by the warm fire.

"I guess it prefers the stove below." Heshia smiled.

"Speaking of which, Heshea has been in school very little lately, and she has not been able to find you several times, and the teacher said that you have to prepare for some competition, so she went to the field for training." Mel remembered something, and said in a soft voice.

"Well, there is indeed a competition, but that is next year, and now it's just a warm-up." Heshea nodded to the lovely Mel, indicating that she was not lying.

"Really, what kind of game is that, can I go and see it then?" Mel piqued her curiosity.

"This, uh...... I think I can see it, but it's a secret for now. Heshia went on to explain, suddenly feeling like one of those bad guys who coaxed ignorant girls.

"Hehija's tone is so tight, I guess the game is very special, so I won't ask." Mel saw that the girl was a little difficult to explain, so she explained it for the other party.

Well, Mel has become powerful, the girl meditated in her heart, feeling that during the time she was not very good, this girl was much smarter.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mel's academic performance has always been good, but he is a little silly in his usual life, probably because he was well protected by his family in the past and had less contact with the outside.

"It's going to be a secret for now, but I'll tell Mel for sure." This time Heshia decided to give the girl in front of her a reassurance.

"Uh-huh, come on, Hesia." Mel nodded, softly.

After that, a few people talked about the situation on the side of the Kite Garden now,Talking about the upcoming exam at the end of the semester,Compared to the situation that the exam has been completed in the Edes School Park,The exam week here in the Kite Garden has not yet arrived,This is because the length of the spring and autumn semesters is different,The semesters in autumn and winter will be a little longer,And the semesters in spring and summer will be shorter。

"At the end of the semester, in addition to the normal exams, there is also a league of the ten schools in the north, and the time will be after the exams, which is also an important part of the winter festival celebration."

"Because the northern districts are not as developed as the south, the winter festival celebrations in the four-leaf crystal star domain always can't get into the top few, so the top-ranked school parks in the north simply organized a league by themselves, that is, the top ten school parks in the northern regions." One student explained.

"Lower Bracket Tournament?"

"Don't say that, it's cruel, haha."

"Well, although the gorgeousness and excitement are certainly not as good as the Winter Festival in the star field, the process is very interesting."

"Probably because of the frequent variety of tricks, the way of fighting will be very different." One student groped his chin in thought.

"For example, our Kite Garden,It's a fight with extraordinary animal partners.,This is rare in other school parks.,In addition, there are three-phase moon school gardens that cultivate witches.,Heat surge breaking the sky school garden that cultivates martial artists.,Luo Zhen's eye school garden that teaches puppet skills.,Twelve single school gardens famous for changing clothes.,There are also mountain treasures and bamboo schools that are good at cooking.,Five colors and seven injuries school garden named after refining poison and medicine.。

"It's all the remnants of the old days." One of the classmates took a sip of the teacup, then slowly put it down.

"Because it's in the interstellar era.,These things that used to be powerful and exclusive,The advantages are not so obvious.,So those factions have become the form of a school garden in order to pass on their skills and doctrines.。

"Fortunately, there are always people who are interested and needed.,So these school parks have been tepid.。

"Among them, our Kite Court is in a relatively good situation, if it weren't for the environmental destruction of the jade skirt, which caused the 'courtyard' for cultivating transcendent creatures to disappear, maybe we could still compete for the top ten positions in the star field."

"Things from the old times are not necessarily worthless, and I believe that people will rekindle their love and enthusiasm for these things in the future." One of the students said with great enthusiasm.

"Will there ever be a day?" Someone next to him asked in a whisper.

"Yes." He patted his chest.

Although everyone knows that such a possibility is actually very small, if it happens, it cannot bear to deny it.

Will there be a day, Hehia looked sideways at the stove under the table, and there were still small pieces of wood burning in it, and the occasional slight spark sound added a touch of warmth to the quiet room.

Compared with electric stoves and heating, such stoves are undoubtedly primitive, but looking at the burning orange flames and the occasional slight sound of sparks, it gives people a kind of spiritual peace and comfort.

Technological progress is inevitable and unstoppable, but as an animal and a life, the imprint engraved in the genes of human beings will still be attached to those things that bring them personal touches, such as beautiful and beautiful clothes, delicious food, plush animal companions to get along with, strong body and strength, scents between the mouth and nose, and trees and plants close to nature, etc.

Perhaps, it is these seemingly useless, and instinctively favorite things that make people brave to live, man is not a machine after all, so he needs meaning, and the world that brings him colorful feelings.

Suddenly, Hehia had a sense of realization or a premonition that the future would not be like in many science fiction stories, where the way of life and architectural style of human beings would be unified, and that kind of architectural scene that was as neat and brilliant as bricks might never appear again after the short-lived appearance of the Fourth Age.

The gradual abundance of material things will make people slowly turn to the pursuit of their own personality and preferences, in fact, as long as you think about it, you will understand, how can there be exactly the same people in the world, so everyone's personality and preferences must be very different, always slightly different.

In the past, the pursuit of unity and unity was to overcome the harsh natural disaster environment and fight and compete with the enemies of various countries.

However, now that it is the interstellar age, humanity no longer huddles in the cramped Earth to fight the trapped beasts in cages, and has even gradually spread its footsteps to other galaxies.

There are very few reasons for wars between countries, if it weren't for the space-time technology, they might not have been touched for hundreds of years, and the so-called rare resources in the past are not special in the eyes of the entire universe, and they have lost the dazzling attraction of the past.

After entering the unfettered universe, it is inevitable that all kinds of decentralized ideas will spread, and how to maintain a vast territory, and the biggest difficulty is to keep the national model from falling apart.

Most of the resources in each star system are self-sufficient, and for the people of this era, natural disasters are no longer a threat, and most of the resources are sufficient, and there is no race and state conflict caused by small geography in the past, so many people in the star field will think, why do we still stay in the Federation, subject to various jurisdictions and restrictions.

This question is not easy to answer, Heshea thought for a while and gradually gave up, I guess I will experience more in the future, and I will have an answer.

Although she didn't know how to answer, she also had a vague feeling that if the Federation was really dissolved, it would not be a good thing, but the beginning of hell, and how much violence was born under absolute freedom.

Although the Rose Federation has many shortcomings, its existence is a kind of luck after all.

The thoughts in her mind faded as she continued to add a few pieces of wood to the stove before she looked up.

"Where is Heshia going?" Mel saw her add some firewood and stood up, thinking that Heshia was leaving again.

"I'm going to get something to bake and eat, I'm a little hungry." The girl turned around and waved at her, indicating that there was no need to worry.

After that, Hehia asked for a few potatoes, sweet potatoes, and a few oranges from the restaurant downstairs, and placed them next to the small stove under the table, and some were buried in the ashes of the grass and trees under the stove.

"Heshia is so skilled, that, can oranges really be baked?"

"You can bake it, but not for too long, it will be very sour." As she spoke, she placed a few other oranges on the warm table and gave them to the classmates present.

"Ahaha, I haven't eaten roasted oranges yet, let's try it today."

There was a little more laughter and excitement in the lounge.

The next day.

Heshea was taking care of her three Cole ducks, and now the three ducklings had grown relatively large, and their feathers had been completely changed to white, and the girl could not even hold a Cole duck in one hand.

"Looks like the three of you are getting a little fat." Squatting on the balcony, Heshia touched the feathers of the three big ducks with her hands, and it felt very fluffy and warm, no wonder her previous winter clothes were filled with duck down.

"Ga~Ga~Ga~" Around the girl, three big white ducks with orange and red beaks made a call, as if they were looking for her to eat.

"Okay, okay, don't scream, I'll take you to the buffet later."

The girl touched the three ducks,A little reluctant,Because the end of the semester is coming.,These three ducks will be handed in as course answers.,The school teacher will score according to the growth of the three ducks and the degree of training.。

"Before you know it, you've grown up." Think about the first two months, the three little ones were still swimming in the pond with crooked steps, and now they are all able to fly.

Species: Cole duck subspecies

Status: Healthy (sub-adult)

Introduction: Natural Sequence 2 - Fast Feather White Duck (Ordinary Red Bronze Grade)

Talents: [Duck Down White Feather] (Normal): Has a good warmth effect, and can also assist in flying.

Ability:

【Quick Feather】(Excellent): When the feather is fanned, it can gain more lift and power, making it possible to fly.

[Cold-resistant] (ordinary): Able to live normally above -10°C.

Skill: [Flying Lv.2] [Fishing Lv.1]

Just looking at the panel, it feels very ordinary.,But if you let the school teacher evaluate it.,This girl is definitely talented in cultivating a teacher.。

Because the Cole duck is an ordinary animal, and the IQ is not outstanding, if you want it to condense its magic power, it is difficult to advance to an extraordinary animal, not to mention that these three are not only sequence 1, but even entered sequence 2, even the most basic sequence 2 core template, as long as the condensation is successful, it is a record-breaking existence, after all, in the past, this kind of duck was only raised as the most basic pet, or even poultry, and very few people would specifically cultivate as extraordinary animals.

————

Three days later, the students each brought their own ducks to the scene, the whole scene was a quacking sound, you can see many students chasing their ducks running, for fear of getting lost, and in order to distinguish each other's ducks, everyone also tied their own names and numbers to their feet.

"Look, look, although I can't catch them flying up the trees, you see that these are not very strong, and the cuties I have cultivated have always eaten well." A chubby boy stood cross-legged under the tree, talking to his companion, calling twice from time to time, trying to get the duck down from the tree.

"I really don't understand, the duck's flippers are obviously not suitable for catching trees, why do they stay there all the time." After shouting, I saw that the duck I raised didn't give face, and the chubby boy's face was a little unbearable.

"Probably because you're down there, haha." A few of his companions laughed, but they could also see that these ducks were indeed well raised, and they could fly up trees, and they were healthy and their feathers were white.

"Alright, next." In the center of the scene, the teacher called the next student after grading a duck raised by a classmate.

"I'm coming." Wearing a gray and blue winter coat, Qiu Shu trotted all the way over, followed by three quacking white ducks, it seems that he usually takes his ducks for running.

"Okay, let me take a look and check." The teacher greeted him with a smile and asked one of the ducks to be weighed on the scale.

"Well, the weight ratio is good, the wings are also very powerful, the cry is crisp, and there are no pests and diseases on the body, it seems that it is impossible to say that I will not give you a '3A'."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." Qiu Shu put down the duck in his hand and scratched his head.

"Next, Hesia." After the grading was over, the teacher continued to call according to the list.

"I'm here." On a bluestone at the scene, the gray-haired girl was sitting there, looking at the three white ducks circling around her feet under her.

Hehia jumped off the bluestone and came to the teacher with three wobbly guys.

"Heshia has cultivated well, too." The teacher looked up at the three ducks with snow-white feathers, and couldn't help but praise them, but soon his eyes were fixed again, and he seemed a little incredulous.

"Did you let them advance?"

"Well, yes, didn't you say before that the purpose of our study is to help a lot of animals who are not talented enough and not very smart to advance, so I tried for a while and reluctantly cultivated them to Sequence 2, but unfortunately it will be difficult to go any further." The girl shook her head and regretted that although the big white duck was a little cute, the lifespan of Sequence 2 was only a little better than that of ordinary ducks, and it couldn't accompany people for a long time.

Seeing the girl's regretful reluctance, the teacher wanted to say something to comfort.

"Actually, it's already very good, no, no, no, it's already a record-breaking, Hesia, you may not know, the first year is mainly familiar, you haven't been exposed to all kinds of secret techniques that help transcendent creatures advance, and cultivating transcendent animals is not very real...... It's surprising that you can do this in the first grade. He shook his head.

"The lifespan of animals is already high and low, and separation is unavoidable."

"Originally, the arrangement of the school park was,After you finish cultivating,Will find a suitable owner for these Cole ducks,Let it live as a pet,But your three are more special,It's definitely not okay to keep you all the time,This will delay your learning and life energy,If you don't mind,The school will adopt it for you.,Put it in a small lake in the back mountain.,There are also some other birds with gentle personalities.。

"Thank you, teacher, for arranging." The girl bent down and saluted, knowing that this was also an exception for herself, which made the teacher embarrassed.

"It's okay, I just feel that there are talents in the country, when I was in school, I was also a little genius, but now it seems that I am not as good as your generation."
