    What is this!

    Ye Bai was taken aback, but fortunately those tentacles were not tightly entangled, Ye Bai broke free as soon as he pulled his hand, he took a few steps back in shock, saw those tentacles resting on the edge of the glass grid, looking soft,Like hair wet by rain, it doesn't move anymore.

    If it wasn't for the wet feeling from being entangled by the tentacles on his hands, Ye Bai would have thought that what he saw just now was just an illusion.

    At this time, footsteps sounded from the side, Ye Bai saw that the boy who looked after the shop had returned.

    He was holding a brand new green book in his hand. Before Ye Bai could speak, the boy yelled in surprise: "Ah!"

    He pedaled and ran to the shelf. Because of his short stature, the boy couldn't touch the glass lattice on the top floor, so he just raised his head and looked eagerly, his eyes full of joy.

    "Glut's head has finally sprouted! It's great."

    grunt head?

    Ye Bai looked at the "purple onion" in the water, so it's called Gulutou?These tentacles are the buds it sends out?But... these buds are too long!

    "Are the buds on this Gulutou movable?" Ye Bai asked, "They were entangled in my hand just now."

    The boy nodded: "Gulutou can use its sprouts to prey on mosquitoes. Could it be that you were too close to it just now, and it entangled you when it sprouted?"

    Ye Bai also can't remember the specific situation at that time, it seems... did he get entangled accidentally?

    "Maybe." Ye Bai looked at Gulutou curiously again. It turns out that this plant is similar to the flytrap. Since it can prey on mosquitoes, it is not surprising that the tentacles can move.

    "Here is the instruction manual you want." The boy handed the book in his arms to Ye Bai. This manual is similar to a textbook. Ye Bai roughly flipped through it, and suddenly realized one thing: I don't know enough to read.It's a little hard for me...

    However, there are a lot of illustrations in this book, and even the guesswork can be understood. After some weighing, Ye Bai still decided to buy this book.

    "What's the way of listening to the gardening class coupon you mentioned earlier?" Ye Bai asked. He felt that if he could listen to a few classes in the early stage and then read books together, the effect might be better.

    "My father held a gardening class. You can come to the class for free with the class voucher. The time is Monday and Tuesday afternoon, and the place is here." Mentioning his father, the boy's eyes lit up obviously, full of joy.It's all admiration and pride, "My father is an A-level spiritual power user in the plant department. The plants he cultivated and improved won the Planter Award, which is amazing!"

    "Wow," Ye Bai exclaimed, "It's really amazing."

    Ye Bai knows that there are not many people who awaken their spiritual power in this world. People with S-level spiritual power like Huo Chengyuan are completely rare. Although people with A-level spiritual power are not as good as S-level, they are still comparable to ordinary people.Said to be one in a million, the best among all.Such a person is not short of money at all. He runs a gardening shop and also offers gardening classes. It must be because of his love and interest, which is very rare.

    According to the boy, if the purchase amount exceeds 100 star coins, you can get a free lesson coupon, so Ye Bai picked out a few beautiful small flower pots in the store, took a set of planting tools suitable for novices, and recommended by the boy, bought three pots of small tomatoes that had just sprouted.

    "This variety was improved by my father. After it germinates, it can bear fruit within a month." The boy pointed to the pot of tender green seedlings, and introduced enthusiastically, "Of course, if you can't wait, you want to eat it sooner."When harvesting small tomatoes, you can also use nutrient solution to ripen them, and they will usually bear fruit within two days."

    Ye Bai was very surprised: "So fast?"

    The boy nodded: "However, there is a probability of failure when using the nutrient solution. If the ripening fails, the whole pot of plants will wither. Different nutrient solutions have different success rates. The expensive one has an 80% success rate, and the cheaper one.Probably only 50%."

    Ye Bai thought for a while, "I'll buy a bottle of nutrient solution and try it, the one with an 80% success rate."

    He is very curious about how the plants ripened with nutrient solution grow, will it be like pressing the fast forward button of the video?I really want to see it.

    The boy helped Ye Bai pack the nutrient solution, Ye Bai paid the bill, got a coupon for free lessons, and then left the store with the bag.

    Back at the villa, Ye Bai didn't enter the main room, but went directly to the glass greenhouse in the backyard.

    Since he hadn't taken gardening class yet, Ye Bai was afraid that he would waste the flower seeds by messing around, so he put aside the plan of planting flowers for the time being, and started to study the three pots of small seedlings he bought.

    These seedlings are green and green, about as high as the middle finger, and the one that grows the best has already pulled out several green leaves.Ye Bai poured the nutrient solution into the measuring cup, and according to the method the boy said, mixed with water to make the correct ratio, and then evenly sprinkled the nutrient solution in the cup on the soil of one of the seedlings.

    A few minutes later, the seedlings in the pot really changed—the thin green stems began to grow slowly, green leaves popped out one by one, and small yellow buds appeared on the branches of the green branches.Although it has not bloomed, it is undoubtedly a precursor to the fruit's gestation. Obviously, the ripening of this wave of nutrient solution is very successful.

    Ye Bai was very pleasantly surprised, and sprinkled the remaining nutrient solution in the measuring cup into the soil of the remaining two pots of seedlings.

    Soon, the remaining two pots of seedlings also grew rapidly, and new branches were pulled out one by one, and tender small flower buds bloomed.

    Wow, with the help of nutrient solution, growing things is so simple!

    Ye Bai walked around the three pots of small tomatoes a few times, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.He admired it happily for a while, then turned around to rinse the measuring cup and put it away with the nutrient solution. When he returned to the small greenhouse, he found that everything had changed.

    The green leaves of the three pots of small tomatoes have wilted, and the small flower buds on the branches have also shrunk significantly. The color of the main branches is no longer green, showing an unhealthy withered yellow.

    Ye Bai:!!

    This, what's going on!

    While Ye Bai was watching, the three pots of small tomatoes became more withered and yellow, and they were about to wither completely.

    Ye Bai was shocked, and suddenly remembered what the boy from the gardening shop said - "If the ripening fails, the whole pot of plants will wither."

    Could it be that the nutrient solution failed to ripen?

    But, but that nutrient solution has an 80% success rate!My face is so dark, and all three pots have stepped on the unlucky 20% failure?

    Ye Bai touched those small withered and yellowed leaves distressedly, almost crying with sadness.

    He had just witnessed the gestation and growth of new life with joy, but in the blink of an eye he was about to watch them quickly wither. The impact of this contrast between new life and death was too strong, and he was so uncomfortable that his chest ached.

    Is there a way to revive them...

    Ye Bai was sad and anxious, but also helpless.He didn't realize that when he stroked the withered leaf's left palm, a green leaf totem suddenly appeared.As soon as the totem appeared, it turned into a faintly invisible ray of transparent green light, which merged into the withered tomato branches and leaves. Because the speed was too fast, Ye Bai didn't notice any abnormality, and he didn't even feel the burning of his palm.

    Feeling mournful, the young man touched the three pots of withered tomatoes one by one. Even if he didn't want to accept it, he had to admit that they couldn't be saved.

    Ye Bai sighed sadly, turned his head to look at the small yard outside the greenhouse, and thought deeply about where to bury these three poor little tomatoes.

    But when he turned his head again, he saw a miracle—the three tomato seedlings that had withered before were full of life again!

    As if it had been nourished by the nutrient solution again, the withered yellow of the branches gradually faded, the withered leaves were re-coated with green, and the shrunken flower buds became full again, and small bright yellow flowers bloomed soon.

    The breeze blew in, and the tomato branches and leaves with small flowers swayed, as if waving their hands to the stunned boy, showing him a bright smiling face.

    Thinking about the little Flower Immortal at home, Huo Chengyuan completed today's task ahead of time, and rushed back to the villa before the sun set.

    He walked into the courtyard, and before he had time to enter the main house, he saw a figure rushing out of the glass greenhouse, and the figure rushed to him like a whirlwind, grabbing his hand.

    "Ayuan!" Ye Bai blushed with excitement, shaking Huo Chengyuan's hand desperately.

    "Come on, come on, let me show you my results today!"

    "?"

    Huo Chengyuan followed Ye Bai to the glass greenhouse, and as soon as he entered, he saw three pots of small tomatoes placed on a stone table at the door.They grow very well, the green stems are straight and strong, the leaves are shiny green, and clusters of red fruits have been hung on the branches, like red agate stones.

    "Dangdangdang!" Ye Bai proudly introduced, "The little tomato I planted is amazing!"

    He didn't do anything in the afternoon, and stayed in the greenhouse to guard the three small tomatoes, watching their fruits grow from scratch, grow from small to large, and finally hang on the branches, a great harvest!

    "Awesome." Huo Chengyuan clapped the floor and applauded, he looked carefully at those little tomatoes, and then glanced at the boy with a smile.

    "You planted this in one day?"

    This question went straight to the core, and Ye Bai smiled embarrassedly.

    "Hehe, I planted it with the nutrient solution...but I did the mixing and spreading of the nutrient solution! There is no credit but hard work."

    He picked a plump and beautiful little tomato from the tomato branch, and handed it to Huo Chengyuan: "Come and taste it, I've eaten it just now, it's sweet and delicious!"

    Huo Chengyuan glanced at him, and didn't reach out to pick it up, but leaned over and took the red fruit with his mouth, and at the same time he took the young man's fingertips holding the red fruit.

    Ye Bai: "!"

    He felt that the tip of Huo Chengyuan's tongue rolled, and the little tomato was swept away by the other party. His fingertips still had the wetness of being licked. Although it was only a little bit, Ye Bai's cheeks couldn't help but start to feel hot.

    "Well, it's really sweet and delicious." Huo Chengyuan didn't seem to notice the boy's abnormality, he also picked a small vivid tomato from the tomato branch, and handed it to Ye Bai's mouth.

    "Would you like to try another one too?"

    Ye Bai saw Huo Chengyuan's deep black eyes looking at him deeply, and the other party slowly chewing the tender red flesh, as if he was tasting not only the little tomato in his mouth, but also other things.By coincidence, Ye Bai also opened his mouth, ahhh, he bit off the little tomato on the other's fingertip.

    Huo Chengyuan was startled, and the smile in his eyes deepened a bit.

    "Is it tasty?"

    Ye Bai blushed and nodded.

    This little tomato is really, really sweet.

    Wooden gardening shop.

    When it was completely dark, a middle-aged man walked into the store.

    He has a refined appearance, a calm and peaceful demeanor, and a look of exhaustion between his brows. When he saw the man, the boy who was guarding the cashier immediately ran out happily.

    "dad!"

    Seeing the boy rushing over excitedly, the refined man's slightly frowning brows instantly relaxed.

    He smiled and rubbed the boy's black hair, turned around and locked the store door, put up a "Closed" sign, and then the father and son walked towards the small door in the corner of the store, which could lead to their upstairs residence.

    "Father, are you going out to do things well today?"

    "Well, it's okay."

    "Are you still going tomorrow?"

    "Not for now."

    "Dad, a super beautiful big brother came to the store today. I have never seen such a good-looking person!" The boy excitedly shared what he saw today, "It's a pity you didn't see him. I think he is better than a TV star."It’s not bad, it’s a hundred times better!”

    "Haha, yes, it's a pity that I didn't see it."

    "Oh, by the way, Dad, Grump's hair has sprouted, and it's growing very well. I was shocked when I found out."

    "Huh?" The man paused, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Have Gulu's hair sprouted?"

    He immediately went to the shelf where the Guru head was placed, and sure enough, he saw that the Guru head in the glass lattice had spit out purple tentacle leaf buds. The man stretched out his hand and felt it mentally.

    strangeness.

    According to the concentration and effect of this nutrient solution, Gulutou should not germinate so early...

    The man carefully checked the transparent nutrient solution in the glass grid, but he didn't see any problem.He thought about it, and used a measuring cup to fill a nutrient solution from the glass grid, planning to store it in the workshop first, and study it tomorrow when he has time.

    When he was about to leave with the measuring cup, his gaze inadvertently glanced under the shelf.

    At the bottom of the shelf, there were some nutrient solution bottles. The man was stunned for a moment, pointing to the corner of the shelf and asking.

    "Tata, where is the nutrient solution I put here?"

    The boy took a look: "Oh, I sold it."

    "Sold?"

    "Yeah, that's what I told you just now, that pretty big brother, he wants to buy the highest-grade nutrient solution, so I'll sell it to him." The boy reported truthfully.

    The man's expression was a bit indescribable for a moment, and he pointed to another corner of the shelf: "The advanced nutrient solution is placed here, the bottle you sold is expired nutrient solution. I was going to throw it away,But when I left the house in the morning, I was in such a hurry that I forgot about it.”

    "Ah?" The boy was stunned for a moment, and immediately became anxious, "Then, what should I do then!"

    If an expired nutrient solution is used for the plants, the survival rate is only 15%, or even lower. He remembered that the blond brother bought three pots of small tomatoes. If they were all sprinkled with nutrient solution, the three pots of small tomatoes would probably die..

    "Didn't he come to see you again?" the man asked.

    The boy shook his head.

    "Maybe it's not used yet," the man let out a sigh of relief, "otherwise he will definitely find out that there is a problem with the survival rate and think that he bought a fake product to claim compensation."

    Now can only hope that the other party did not use the nutrient solution on some rare plants, otherwise the loss will be great.

    The boy nodded in frustration, and suddenly remembered something.

    "Oh, by the way, that brother took a coupon for a gardening class, and said he would go on Monday, so we should be able to see him during class, right? Let's tell him there is a problem with the nutrient solution."

    "That's it." The man's serious expression softened, and he nodded.

    "I hope he will go, and then we will explain the situation and refund the money to him."
