Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 803: Chapter 117: Startling News (2)

The matter of the Spiritual Fruit Garden, whether it truly gave Xu Lan Ya a lesson, is unknown. Recently, she hasn’t appeared in the Spiritual Fruit Garden at all. The several acres under Xu Lan Ya’s name, originally cared for by Ye Heng, have been neglected for quite some time.

In the week before visiting Bai Xue, Xiao Xian shifted her focus to her coursework. She has completed most of the Intermediate Course, and can already synthesize herbs with a decade’s age to about fifty years using quintuple synthesis.

For the remaining time, Xiao Xian would call Yiyi and Xuerou to the ginseng field in the Spiritual Fruit Garden to turn over the soil and plant some new Purple Ginseng seeds.

After Xuerou toured the Spiritual Fruit Garden, she discovered that each of the four corners of the garden had different rhinestones buried in them. "Adding up the size of the rhinestones is roughly equivalent to those in Farmer Spring, yet the Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Fruit Garden is much denser. Maybe because the area of Zone B is far smaller than Zone C," she remarked. From the perspective of area, Zone C is more than three times larger than Zones B and A combined.

With Xuerou’s careful observation over time, it’s confirmed that rhinestones of similar amounts are intermittently distributed across the entire campus. But the remaining Spirit Power is different. The rhinestones in Zone C have already become mere stone, just slightly harder than ordinary stone.

"Do you remember the stormy night with thunder and rain? I suspect that Xiao Xian and the Little White Jiao disrupted the balance of the three zones while bringing clouds and rain," this suggests that when the Huake Institute originally designed the geological features of different campus zones, it was carefully planned.

Zone C is large. To maintain balance with the same rhinestones, the density of plants within the zone must be reduced, thereby reducing the consumption of rhinestones. However, Xiao Xian inadvertently upset this balance by completing Zone C’s greening project; vegetation flourished, and coupled with the Spirit Power consumed by the "Heavenly Thunder Cage" that night, Zone C’s rhinestones lost their effectiveness.

Xiao Xian found Xuerou’s analysis reasonable.

"Moreover, I suspect that these rhinestones can transfer energy to each other. Last time, when I helped Romeo One check its system, the rhinestone inside it served as its power source. Both the robot itself and the humans thought Romeo One malfunctioned due to its outdated model or aging parts. But now it seems, it was due to a lack of rhinestone replenishment," Xuerou explained in straightforward terms so Xiao Xian and Yiyi could understand.

"No way? Doesn’t that mean Xiao Xian indirectly killed Romeo One?" Yiyi was wide-eyed, shocked.

In the Spiritual Fruit Garden, the three sat on the field ridge of Xiao Xian’s Responsible Field. After the new ginseng seeds had been sewn, nurtured by the garden’s Spiritual Energy for several days, they had sprouted into lush green ginseng sprouts.

Under the warm sunlight, they appeared especially vibrant.

"It’s just my hypothesis. Given they are both robots, Juliet One hasn’t had many issues," noted Xuerou, who had only repaired Romeo One and wasn’t sure if Juliet One was built the same way.

"You all seem quite leisurely, huh? Enough time to bask in the sun," a shadow cast over the three.

Ye Heng stood at the edge of the field ridge with a sullen face, his gaze falling on Xiao Xian’s raised wrist.

The nourishing Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Fruit Garden did indeed accelerate crop growth, but unfortunately, weeds grew just as quickly, particularly among the ginseng sprouts, forcing Xiao Xian and her friends to painstakingly remove them by hand to avoid damaging the tender plants.

"Hey, Xuerou, look, is the sun rising in the west today? Why is there only a stray dog outside without its owner?" Yiyi, who had quite the distaste for Ye Heng, sarcastically sneered at him.

"Brat, don’t think learning the Fighting Skills from Juliet One means you can get mouthy on the side. If I really fix you, you’d surely suffer more than you know," Ye Heng menacingly retorted, glaring at Yiyi. He had originally come just to check the Spiritual Fruit Garden since Xu Lan Ya hadn’t been in contact for some time.

Seeing the blackened crop stalks left unprocessed in the Responsible Field, Ye Heng felt even colder inside. As for the three freshmen leaning against the field ridge, displaying poor manners, were it not for the desire to please Xu Lan Ya, he wouldn’t bother with them.

Ye Heng was about to walk away when a glinting brightness drew his eye.

The radiance came from the bracelet on Xiao Xian’s wrist. Approximately the same style, Ye Heng had seen it once a few days earlier.

A similarly designed silver bracelet crafted with delicate engravings. Yet, anyone with eyes could tell that the bracelet on Xiao Xian’s wrist was far more exquisite.

In comparison, Anna’s pocket watch silver chain and Xu Lan Ya’s rose pendant, which she rarely let out of sight, appeared crude.

"Where did you get that bracelet?" After returning from the National Convention and Exhibition Center, no matter how hard Ye Heng probed, Xu Lan Ya wouldn’t reveal who Li Ye was, and rudely ordered him not to meddle in her private affairs again.

"Sorry, there’s no need for me to answer your questions," Xiao Xian waved her hand, beckoning Xuerou and Yiyi to leave. Not being on the same team, even standing there gave a chilling feeling.

Women change their minds rather quickly, don’t they? It’s not all bad, though. It appears that the person Xu Lan Ya truly cares about is this freshman. Hah! Xu Lan Ya, the Xu Family is in turmoil now, the school has decided to participate in a conference. Let’s see how you plan to plead with me this time, Ye Heng thought coldly as he watched Xiao Xian and her friends leave the Spiritual Fruit Garden. He glanced again at Xu Lan Ya’s neglected Responsible Field, contemplating. (To be continued.
