Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 395 Beware of Flower Girl

There were already people waiting under the flight platform where the luxury plane was parked.

"Mr. Zhou, I've heard a lot about you. Welcome! When I heard that you were coming over, I didn't believe it at first. I thought he was just teasing me..."

Tabo looks somewhat similar to Shahaigong, with a round head and a round brain.

It was shorter, snow-white, wearing a green loose shirt jacket, striped skirt and pants, and a pair of gold-edged straw sandals. Its clothes were very stylish.

Zhou Yi asked: "Are you and Lord Shahai brothers?"

"Not brothers, but better than brothers."

Tabo said with a smile: "My elder brother and I used to hang out in the Dead Sea together, but later we discussed and decided to open a route to the east and west respectively."

"Big Brother has a good vision and is good at business and seizing opportunities, so he expanded his territory and became the lord of the sea."

"I don't have any other skills, but I have some experience in aesthetics. So I find some unpolished gems that have not yet developed, and then use our clan's [catalysis] to make their talents further and quickly develop. In Huayi, my skills are very suitable."

It is of the same clan as Shahaigong.

All have catalytic capabilities.

Zhou Yi said, "I don't see many of your people. Are there very few?"

"Indeed, there are few of them. Our branch is called "mutated beasts" among the Light Na species. We are not good at fighting or being strong, and we die easily when we are young."

Tabo said: "Our catalytic ability sounds good, but the conditions for use are harsh. It requires the Dead Sea as a catalytic environment, and the catalytic process will cause extreme alienation pain and tearing. Not to mention the high energy consumption, the success rate is also difficult to guarantee."

"When it comes to surviving in the wild, the red-haired monster's frenzy is more useful."

Zhou Yixin said that’s true.

Now Lord Sha Hai is still busy transforming electric cats into electric souls. He is often in a state of exhaustion, as if his soul has been drained out by the work, and he is often absent-minded.

We asked it to rest, but it refused, saying that it didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Tao from our club."

Tubbo raised his hand to signal.

A young girl next to him said in a lively voice: "Hello, Mr. Zhou! I'm Xiaotao!"

Xiao Tao looks to be fourteen or fifteen, with naturally straight hair. Girls of this age haven't fully grown up yet, and their facial features are a little immature, but you can still tell that she is a beauty.

She was wearing a baggy pullover and shorts, with long legs and a pair of flat shoes.

In terms of dress and attire, they are no different from old humans.

I don’t know if she sprayed perfume or used some skin care products, but she had a faint fragrance.

Zhou Yi used [Alert] to look and saw that the girl was emitting green light, which meant that she was a D or C level life form.

"Mr. Zhou, how about Xiao Tao being your guide? It's a bit of a spoiler for me to be here."

Tabo introduced enthusiastically: "Don't underestimate Xiaotao's age. She is a local flower girl. She is smart and well-behaved. She is also the top star of our April Club."

Zhou Yi nodded.

It said goodbye and left immediately.

Next, Xiaotao led Zhou Yi and his group forward.

The flying platform is about 1000 meters away from the urban area of Huayi. There is a trail here, with flower beds, trees and shrubs on both sides forming a staggered tree-lined avenue.

There are many fruit stalls run by human vendors along the way, all of whom are playing harmonicas or flutes to attract customers.

Just as the rumors said, there were many beautiful men and women coming and going. They accompanied the tourists, spoke different languages, and laughed from time to time.

Zhou Yi asked Xiao Tao next to him: "Is Tabo the owner of the April Club?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded: "Boss Tabo is a very good man."

Zhou Yi was happy: "What's so good about him?"

"In our club, if the blooming period of the flower girls and boys is over, the boss will keep them until they die. Other clubs are not like this. They will be fired and thrown away after their blooming period. Many of them have a miserable old age."

"Flowering period?"

"Is such that."

Xiao Tao explained: "We flower girls and flower boys all belong to the same type of light-skinned creature, called 'flower faces'. We started as flower shapes when we were young, and then slowly grew into human shapes."

"The characteristics of flower faces are that they look pleasing to the eye and have their own unique fragrance. Once they take human form, they enter their flowering period, which usually lasts 3 to 5 years. However, maintenance technology and drugs are developing rapidly now, and the maximum life span can reach 10 years, which is much longer than before."

The flower-faced girl said: "During the flowering season, we are also the most popular time. Because it looks good and smells good, and the flower-faced girls are trained by each club, they will teach us how to talk to people and make people happy. In addition, we have special abilities that can enhance the effect in this aspect."

"So during the flowering period, we will go around to accompany guests, or participate in various activities, or even be bought by other big shots to become their exclusive companions. At this stage, we earn a lot!"

"But after the blooming period ends, the flowers will wither and become old and dilapidated in a short period of time. For example, in about 4 years, I will become an old woman, and then I will be despised. Because my physical strength is poor, I look ugly, and my body smells bad... In short, I will be pitiful."

When talking about the flowering period and the withering of flowers, Xiaotao is still smiling.

Zhou Yi listened silently and looked around.

At this time, he had already entered Huayi City.

The city is large in scale, with a decentralized structure almost like a satellite city. The streets are flat and quiet, and the buildings are lined up one after another, but most of them are not tall.

Huayi mixes various architectural styles. You can see an onion-domed auditorium, a Gothic bell tower, classical Chinese carved eaves, and Roman columns and Greek temples.

Each building has its own sign, which is either carved from diamond-shaped stone or made of more expensive gold and silver, and it is very bright even during the day.

The names of various clubs were written on the signs in the common language of the East and West continents.

Apart from common shops such as stores, hotels, restaurants, bars, etc., the rest are all various clubs, which are also built in the most luxurious and exquisite way.

Zhou Yi looked at Xiao Tao: "What kind of services do these clubs provide?"

The girl said: "There are many kinds of services. Different clubs provide different services."

"Like that."

She pointed across the street to an erected diamond-shaped stone sign with a carved picture of a blooming flower.

"This Sweet Club specializes in sleeping companion services. The flower girls and flower boys inside are very good at sleeping with all kinds of customers. They have a very good reputation."

"You see, that flower represents the scope of the club's business. The flower series means you can sleep with the girl, and if it's a leaf, it means it's just ordinary companionship and emotional services, and you can't have sex. These are also the two branches of the club." Xiao Tao said: "Our April Club belongs to the leaf series."

Zhou Yi looked around.

He saw the difference between the flower and the leaf on the club's sign. Both logos were very eye-catching, making the scale and content of the services provided by each clear at a glance.

"In fact, these two branches have been developing for many years. Sometimes the flower series is popular, and sometimes the leaf series becomes the mainstream. Now they each have their own audience."

The flower-faced girl counted on her fingers and said, "Generally speaking, the flower system is more about getting to the point quickly and directly, and the relationship is short. The leaf system is more delicate and in-depth, and the experience is usually much longer."

Zhou Yi understood.

The former is purely about sex without any feelings, while the latter is more about pure love.

He was a little confused again: "Huayi has developed to its current level by relying on this club model? Does it have other industries?"

"some."

Xiao Tao said, "Actually, Huayi's flower accessories are also very important. I'll take you to have a look."

Then she walked into a small shop next door.

The cabinets inside were filled with different flowers, all placed in various containers, most of which were glassware, but there were also some pottery and silverware.

The boss was an old man with spots all over his face. He was dozing off and had a peculiar smell of decay that only old people have.

“This is the flower shop.”

Xiao Tao whispered, "The boss was once a young and handsome man, but now he has become a faded flower."

She pointed to a small glass jar filled with red petals and said, "Like this thing, it looks like a decoration, but it's actually a grinder that can sharpen things."

Xiaotao picked up a branch that was inserted nearby and inserted it into the opening of the glass jar.

Then the petals inside began to rotate rapidly. They rotated like blades, making a hissing sound.

Xiaotao took out the branches.

The front end becomes pointed.

"and this."

The girl picked up another flower. This flower had not yet bloomed, only a yellow bud, and the long branches were wrapped with a kind of hemp rope.

She pulled the rope at the bottom.

Then the bud suddenly grew larger and turned into a broad flower with dense petals, more than one meter in diameter.

“It’s actually an umbrella.”

Xiaotao tied the rope back again.

The big yellow flower gradually closed up and slowly turned into a bud.

Zhou Yi became interested.

This flower is interesting.

He picked up a small glass box next to him that was about two fingers thick. There was a small purple flower soaked in liquid inside. The mouth of the box was covered with copper, and it was impossible to tell what tool it was just from the appearance.

"Xiao Tao, what is this?"

"Oh, that's sparks."

"Can you start a fire?"

"Ah."

“You shake it, then pull the cap off.”

Zhou Yi did as she said.

As it was shaken, the purple flower inside seemed to wake up and began to stretch its body. There was a spring on the bottle cap, and when it was pulled open, the pistil of the purple flower was there, and then a ball of flame emerged upwards.

Flower lighter!
Zhou Yi couldn't help but wonder: "Are these flower sets expensive? But why haven't I seen them in many cities? Is it because the distance from the West Continent to the East Continent is too far?"

"No, they're cheap, but hard to maintain."

Xiao Tao said: "The biggest difference from ordinary tools is that flower tools need to be maintained as living flowers. Watering is the most basic, and then nutrient solution is needed. Some also need to be kept at a suitable temperature, and some need a certain amount of light. It is difficult for outsiders to maintain them, so the flower tools will wither and become ineffective soon."

"So although flower tools are commonly used locally and are cheap, they are also daily consumables and are difficult to sell in large quantities to faraway places. They require a bit of storage and maintenance."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Yi nodded.

Just considering the spring-like climate of Huayi all year round, the flowers that leave here will probably find it difficult to adapt to the foreign environment.

It is a kind of tool with strong regional factors.

However, Xiaotao also said that the most important exports are still the flower faces such as flower girls and flower boys.

Zhou Yi decided to go to the club to experience it and see what it was all about.

He asked, “Any clubs you would recommend?”

"New customers tend to go to the flower department more often, while old customers tend to go to the leaf department more often. Let's go to the flower department first!"

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up and she gave a thumbs up: "Then let's go to the Weather Club! The soup and rice there are super delicious!"

"..."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

I asked you to take me to a nightclub, and you said the soaked rice in the nightclub is delicious?
After half an hour.

Zhou Yi was huffing and puffing as he ate a bowl of rice and soup.

The flower girl next to him said, "Eat slowly... Stop eating, let's play first."

Don't say it, don't say it.

This soup rice is really delicious!
