Chapter 879: Chapter 27: Too Similar
When Wang Shuai woke up, he saw Zhang’s baozi face twisted into a pretzel.
Zhang Yiyi’s eyes were red, and her prolonged staring made her eyes appear somewhat dazed.
As Wang Shuai had just woken up, she was in a trance for a moment before reacting.
"Did you cry?" Wang Shuai raised his hand to wipe away her tears.
Upon hearing that long-awaited warmth, Yiyi had a brief moment of surprise, and when she realized Wang Shuai was awake, she jumped up in fright.
Her movement was too large, tipping over the chair and startling the other people in the treehouse.
Xiao Xian and Locke were still studying the fungi and ferns brought back from the jungle, while Quinn, rubbing his temples, helplessly watched as the two piled up various wild plants across the entire research room.
"It’s good that you’re awake, truly a useless fellow, unable to pass even a miasma area, yet you’re Wang Fenglei’s eldest grandson. I wonder what that little lizard girl sees in you," Quinn said gruffly to the just-awoken and still half-dazed Wang Shuai.
Quinn doesn’t care about the Wang Family. He had some interactions with Wang Fenglei before, both with fiery tempers and often ending up fighting vigorously when they met.
"Was it Locke who saved me?" Wang Shuai said awkwardly. This time he did, indeed, capsize in the gutter, succumbing to a complex poison. If Locke hadn’t intervened, he might have lost his life here.
He always said Xiao Xian and Yiyi would cause trouble, but this time he got into big trouble.
Quinn scoffed, "Then you thanked the wrong person; the one who saved you was that little girl you brought along."
When Xiao Xian accurately reported the species and toxicity of the fungi, Quinn couldn’t help but admire her.
"Xiao Xian? You went to the miasma area too? You didn’t get poisoned?" Wang Shuai couldn’t withstand the poisonous gas, how did Xiao Xian avoid it.
"Kid, don’t be arrogant, even I would detour around that miasma area. That little girl and Locke are both monsters; they can distinguish various antidotal fungi and follow the only safe passage through the miasma area in the Biological Garden." Quinn explained as Locke and Quinn allocated corresponding tasks while creating this Biological Garden.
Quinn manages beasts, while Locke plants different species according to different regions. Locke is a pure plant cultivator with limited self-defense abilities, so to avoid the dangerous beasts Quinn raised, he intentionally opened several safe passages.
These passages run through the thickest areas of miasma, even the garden’s predators don’t dare to step on them recklessly. An ordinary person entering needs to find antidotal plants and also be wary of the venomous critters that can appear at any moment.
Passage? Wang Shuai was puzzled. Upon entering the miasma area, he had carefully observed every area’s miasma distribution; the density was about the same everywhere, with no existing safe passage. Wang Shuai is not foolish; most of the Wang Family are not specialized plant cultivators; they practice multiple disciplines like physique, beast taming, and medicine. Take Si Yiyi Hospital, for example; it was initially founded by a medicine cultivator from the Wang Family.
This extensive multidisciplinary practice led to the Wang Family flourishing in many areas over the years, yet never producing any standout talents internationally.
Originally, there was Wang Peng who showed promise in medicine cultivation, but unfortunately, his crooked mind led Zhang Lvxiao to cripple his tendons and meridians, turning him into an ordinary research scholar.
"A safe passage composed of ferns, there is only one such passage in the entire Biological Garden, starting from the entrance and going deep into the jungle, river course, miasma area. The whole Biological Garden is divided into Cold Zone, Tropical, Subtropical, and Temperate zones according to climate and plant growth laws. I have observed only a subspecies called Gray Feather Fern growing throughout the region, and this Gray Feather Fern is also the only ordinary fern in the entire garden that hasn’t been modified. Without a special purpose, I can’t figure out why such an unremarkable fern would be planted throughout, but Xiao Xian would look differently at the fern, just ten centimeters tall, partly because she had specially researched ferns while carrying Vincetoxicum fern."
"So you followed the ferns by the riverbank to find a safe mudflat, easily avoiding the threat of man-eating crocodiles, then safely passed through the miasma area. No way, no way, this is too easy, it’s practically cheating," Quinn was the first to express dissatisfaction; he felt extremely displeased for being outsmarted by this little girl.
