In the nghua Pavilion, located in the seventh district, there is a botanical garden specializing in cultivating floral crops.
Among all the crops produced by this garden, there is one low-tier crop that Li Zheng is very familiar with, which is a herb-like shrub with a center of fla-like flowers.
The center of the flowers dots with golden stans, from a distance resembling fireworks bursting in the night sky, splendid and enchanting.
"Fla Plants?" Li Zheng exclaid at the sight of the long rows of cultivation dishes filled with these crops: "So many? And they are mature, blooming Fla Plants?!"
The owner of nghua Pavilion is a middle-aged woman with two pairs of transparent cicada-like wings on her back, nad Hua Xiangyu. Her appearance is plain, with a few crosswise stripes made of pollen-like paint on her cheeks, bearing a distinct exotic charm.
This is the Butterfly Flower Race, a race that loves to live among flowers and has a natural fondness for floral crops.
Among the myriad of races in the Outer City, less than ten are truly skilled at cultivating floral crops, and the Butterfly Flower Race is one among them.
Li Zheng ca to promote the enhanced interdiate cultivation liquid and the first botanical garden he knocked open was nghua Pavilion. He hadn't expected such a magnificent scene upon entry.
The mature Fla Flowers lined in rows, standing among them it felt like being trapped in a fire field, sparking an urge to flee.
There must be at least a thousand Fla Flowers here!
And this is just a small corner of nghua Pavilion.
Compared to nghua Pavilion, Kang'er Botanical Garden seems rely like a shabby workshop, not even matching the grandeur of one section of nghua Pavilion!
"These are Fla Flowers," Hua Xiangyu introduced, "an excellent variety cultivated from Silver Level Fla Plants. They solve the short flowering period flaw and have a stronger effect, upgrading from Silver Level to Platinum Level."
The biggest disadvantage of Silver Level Fla Plants is their short blooming period, with flowers only open for half an hour to decide whether to consu, resembling a fleeting mont like Epiphyllum.
On the basis of Fla Plants, Fla Flowers not only boast a longer flowering period, but also greatly enhance the probability of developing Fire Gene Ability from two percent to ten percent!
Moreover, the original thirty percent chance of causing harm to the consur was significantly reduced.
As long as one belongs to a race not incompatible with Fire Energy, consuming Fla Flowers almost leaves no aftereffects!
From Li Zheng's current perspective, Fla Flowers are one of the most perfect varieties among Platinum Level crops, with their only flaw possibly being their tier too low, able to only develop Platinum Level Genetic Abilities.
Prelis' Eye instantly analyzed the Fla Flowers' data and recorded it.
Li Zheng glanced casually around; it hardly differed from Hua Xiangyu's description, and he genuinely admired: "Amazing! This variety hasn't been officially launched in the market yet?"
A month ago the Fla Plants he obtained was during a resident's attempt to cultivate a new variety while heading to Matrix, which he coincidentally benefited from.
At that ti, Fla Flowers had likely not been cultivated yet, otherwise there would've been no attempts still on Fla Plants.
"Indeed, they are not launched to market," Hua Xiangyu said, "To be precise, I haven't had plans to launch Fla Flowers to market, as Platinum Level is still too low to fetch a price. These Fla Flowers you see are kept temporarily, and if a better variety cannot be developed later, they will be sent to the fertilizer plant and made into fertilizer to supply other crops' growth."
Hearing this, Li Zheng montarily didn't know what to say.
Thousands of Platinum Level crops in nghua Pavilion ended up rely as fertilizer, while just a month ago he was still complacent over acquiring several Silver Level Fla Flowers.
Really, comparisons drive one mad!
"Turning them into fertilizer is a pity. Although Platinum's basic tier is a bit low, after multiple consumptions, Platinum Level Genetic Ability can be enhanced to full level. The effect is not much weaker than freshly developed Extraordinary Ability." Li Zheng lanted: "Rather than waste these Fla Flowers, why doesn't the Garden Master open a floral shop in the fourth district? When the new players enter the Outer City with generally low strength, maybe a tidy profit can be made?"
Hua Xiangyu's expression shifted, looking at Li Zheng with surprise: "Did you co just to persuade to open a shop in the fourth district? That's the territory of the Celestial Net Race, deeply rooted, not a place ordinary people can go."
"Celestial Net Race?" Li Zheng was equally surprised: "Doesn't the Garden Master know the fourth district has been allocated by the terminal to Blue Star players as a settlent?"
"Unaware." Hua Xiangyu was even more surprised: "What exceptional qualities do these new players possess, for the terminal to gift them such a high-numbered district?"
She scrutinized Li Zheng: "I don't recall seeing a foreigner like you before, you are..."
"I am one of the first players from Blue Star to enter the Outer City." Li Zheng finally revealed his identity, almost forgetting to introduce himself and his purpose due to being imrsed in observing the botanical garden's offerings.
"So you are a Blue Star player." Hua Xiangyu smiled apologetically: "I stay at nghua Pavilion all year round, rarely contact the external world, not aware of news, and thought you were a new shop assistant from so street, coming to for goods."
Li Zheng froze, then chuckled: "Garden Master, being so reckless, aren't you afraid I'm a bandit infiltrated from the Wilderness, here to rob you?"
"I'm not afraid of that." Hua Xiangyu shook her head calmly: "Wilderness people without Outer City identity rarely enter, such incidents are almost unheard of historically. What worries more are those returning from the Wilderness infected but unaware, compared to bloody bandits from the Wilderness, the infected are what the Outer City truly needs to guard against."
"However, your mind is clear, eyes bright, appearing uninfected, otherwise I wouldn't have mistaken you for a new shop assistant and let you in."
Though Hua Xiangyu didn't explicitly say, there is significant confidence in her words.
Li Zheng had long used Prelis' Eye to thoroughly inspect Hua Xiangyu and knew this seemingly plain Butterfly Flower Race mber was quite strong, confident in her capabilities.
A master who broke through basic level strengths, not saying she walks unchallenged in Outer City, at the least she doesn't suffer an unjust death.
"Since you're not here for goods, what business do you have with ?" Hua Xiangyu finally rembered to inquire of Li Zheng's purpose.
Li Zheng naturally glanced at Mirel, who shook her head slightly, indicating Hua Xiangyu's strength too formidable and hard for her, being of the sa gender, to influence as previously planned.
Li Zheng understood, having a sense, he turned back to invite Hua Xiangyu: "What I ntioned is my purpose, to invite the Garden Master to open a floral shop in the fourth district. By the way..."
He produced an enhanced interdiate cultivation liquid from a capsule: "If the Garden Master agrees, I can offer this to nghua Pavilion at market price."
Hua Xiangyu's wings moved slightly: "Is this cultivation liquid?!"
With a glance, she identified the item in Li Zheng's hand, took it, sniffed it close, eyes flashing with an astonished look: "And it's an enhanced product based on interdiate cultivation liquid!"
For a botanical garden of nghua Pavilion's size, whether through black market or official channels, purchasing advanced cultivation liquid is affordable.
However, for many slightly lower-quality crops, using advanced cultivation liquid helps growth but incurs too high a cost.
While interdiate cultivation liquid is too weak, scarcely circulated, its use as auxiliary is insufficient.
At this mont, the enhanced interdiate cultivation liquid Li Zheng produced perfectly complented nghua Pavilion's mid-tier product shortfall.
Neither costly like advanced cultivation liquid, yet more effective than standard interdiate cultivation liquid.
Undeniably, Hua Xiangyu was tempted.
After hesitating a bit, she asked: "How much of this can you supply?"
"The raw materials are not hard to find, so the Garden Master can rest assured regarding supply." Li Zheng smiled slightly, knowing those running botanical gardens just couldn't resist the temptation of cultivation liquid, surely taking the bait.
Though the market's catalyst supply had diminished since the cultivation liquid factory was destroyed,
Li Zheng had strong backing with the terminal. Once settled in the fourth district, he could request catalyst formulas from the terminal.
Given the terminal's disposition, Li Zheng believed they had backups of all formulas and designs found in the Outer City. As long as he didn't touch the red line of Overlimit Cultivation Liquid, the terminal should not refuse the small favor.
