Poseidon in Arknights

“I know part of it.” Xi Yue nodded. “But I only know part of it. For example, the reason why Earth Soul Grass is affected by the overall lack of magic power is because of this.”

So I assigned them crystal orchids, which have some healing properties, and they can also generate a little magic by basking in the sun.

Xi Yue raised her hand and made a gesture of a galaxy at her fingertips. Of course, those crystal orchids could only produce a little bit of magic power.

"So that's why the mortality rate of Earth Soul Grass gradually decreased?" Muels nodded. "What about the others, like Yin Yang Robe and Spirit Breaking Grass?"

“Those two are simply picky about their environment.” Xi Yue spread her hands. “They are relatively delicate plants, and it’s easy for them to die because I drank an extra drop of water today.”

"They're one of the more difficult types to raise, but let's let them go for the sake of the drug's effectiveness and growth rate."

Chapter 215: The Cold Ringing of a Bell

"I see..." Muels nodded thoughtfully. "So, in other words, the only things we need to be careful of are water lilies, snapdragons, and popcorn flowers, right?"

“That’s right.” Yuuki nodded. “These are the species whose mortality rate is relatively high, and my research in this area…”

"It can only be said that those who know, know, or to put it another way..."

“Because you don’t need it at all.” Muels nodded understandingly. Couldn’t Yuuki do it? No, or rather, Yuuki was the best solution.

If you throw Xiyue there, any plants around her that Xiyue wants or needs will grow rapidly and have a 100% survival rate.

Moreover, the plants that grow from this will inevitably be the best in terms of appearance, and theoretically the best, because the environment that Xiyue can provide is the best environment, with the most absolutely stable conditions.

This is Yuuki's instinct, so what does Yuuki research? In front of Yuuki, there isn't even a defective product. For Yuuki, where are there plants that don't grow well, that are on the verge of death, or that are on the verge of extinction?

Yuzuki really didn't have this concept, and she had no way to study it, since she didn't even have a sample. If Yuzuki wanted to study it, she would have to find someone else to help collect the data.

Even if we actually did that, there would only be one outcome: after researching for a while, we would discover one thing.

Researching different methods may not be effective and takes time; the fastest way is to go there yourself.

"So, it's best not to count on me for this." Xiyue shrugged. "Logically speaking, they should be able to be accepted by the current Terra, but the only question is whether they will be unsuited to the environment."

"So this is something we can only rely on you for."

“Otherwise?” Muirsey smiled, her face radiating confidence. “After all, that’s why you captured me.”

"Alright, alright." Xi Yue smiled and patted the head of the confident Muelseth. "I believe you can find a solution."

"I'll take the equipment and do some basic testing tomorrow," Muirsay thought about what he needed to do tomorrow. "At least I need to collect the current data."

"Is the data from the perfumer insufficient?" Yuuki asked Muerses with some curiosity.

“Rhodes Island’s data is fine.” Muirsay shook his head. “Although the data is very complete, perhaps because Rhodes Island, as a pharmaceutical company, focuses more on the medicinal materials themselves, the detailed data is quite old.”

"The recent data mainly focuses on a few plants that are more prone to dying, and the data is still not comprehensive enough, so I still need to collect it myself."

"Oh, I see." Yu Yue nodded somewhat blankly, since he really didn't know much about this area. However, Yu Yue knew that Muerses was an expert, so he could just leave it to the expert.

"Oh, right, I wanted to ask something," Muels said, as if suddenly remembering something, "Speaking of which, Xiyue, does your influence on plants diminish after just one day?"

“How could that be? It’s not that simple.” Xi Yue shook her head. “You’ll have to wait until all of this wave of plants is harvested before my influence will be completely eliminated.”

"It may not be completely eliminated, which is why I have always avoided going to botanical gardens to avoid interfering with research data."

Muirsey nodded: "Okay, it's fine. A standard environmental impact assessment is a good thing for me too, so I can make comparisons later."

"Then I wish you success." Yuuki nodded, then glanced at the time and casually asked, "By the way, did Rhodes Island arrange a room for you?"

“Yes.” Muirsey nodded. “For various reasons, many people from Rhodes Island come here to stay, or there are sudden staff members joining.”

"So as long as you register with the accommodation manager, you can stay in any empty room, and it's free for just one night."

“Your situation definitely isn’t just for one night,” Yuuki asked Muerses with some confusion. “You can’t possibly solve the problem tomorrow.”

“I really can’t solve the problem tomorrow, but I didn’t say I was only staying one night.” Muirsey rolled her eyes at Xiyue. How come she never noticed before that Xiyue could be so clueless at times like this?

"I'll stay here for one night, and I'll ask Miss Perfumer or Miss Amiya to arrange a room for me first thing tomorrow morning."

"It seems you already have a plan." Xi Yue nodded. She had originally thought that Muerses wouldn't have a room to stay in today. She was even planning to ask Xi if she could borrow a scroll so that Muerses could stay for a while.

But since Muirsey has her own plans, let her go ahead.

"Speaking of Xi..." Xi Yue glanced at the scroll, "Where has that child gone so late? It's so late, why hasn't he come back yet?"

——————Rhodes Island Bar——————

In a private room at the bar, the Rhodes Island operators' usual little gathering had already quietly begun. What? You want to know what the event was about?

This mainly depends on who is hosting the small gathering. Depending on the situation, it could be just chatting, eating, arm wrestling, or even a backrest cross-country roller skating competition in a bar.

Another essential part of every small gathering is chatting, eating, and drinking, since it's a bar after all.

In the subsequent matches, drinking was usually used as a punishment, but today, it's to celebrate Descartes' promising recovery.

Led by Dr. Gavial, who was in a particularly good mood and had no work tomorrow, the operators' small gathering today naturally consisted of nothing more than drinking.

At that time, Ling, who had already become familiar with several agents who frequented bars, felt that he should drink to his heart's content today. But then he thought that it would be a bit pitiful to be left here.

Although Ling is certainly not afraid of this and won't catch a cold from being left here, it would be bad if they felt he was too drunk to talk back and tried to persuade him to drink more.

The main issue is that if he doesn't have a friend to pick him up, people might advise him not to drink too much during the drinking sessions, so that he won't be left without anyone to pick him up later.

So in this situation...

"I shouldn't have listened... Ugh!" Xi tried her best to resist the order to feed her wine, but how could Xi, a homebody, resist the order of someone who had been through many battles?

Therefore, Xi's resistance was doomed to failure, and she was forced to drink a large mouthful of wine.

"Cough cough, are you sure you weren't trying to murder me for money?" Xi Xi looked at Ling angrily. Just now, Xi Xi felt like Ling was about to shove the gourd into her throat.

"How could that be?" Ling patted Xi on the back. "You've mistaken the person you're talking about. I'm your sister, why would I harm you?"

"Hehe." Xi rolled his eyes. If he hadn't just received another text message saying that she had something urgent to tell him, he wouldn't have come out of the painting.

Unexpectedly, it was an urgent matter. Humph, she should have been more alert when she realized the place she was coming to was the cafeteria.

"Alright, you've had enough to drink, haven't you?"

"Oh dear, Xiao Xi, where are you at all?" Ling patted Xi's back. "Oh dear, it's a pity Xiao Nian isn't here. If it were her, she could have had a few drinks."

"You guys go ahead and drink, I won't..." Xi rolled her eyes and was about to stand up and leave when she realized that Ling had grabbed her wrist tightly without her noticing.

Xi stared at Ling, who was smiling and waving a bottle of wine at her, with dead fish eyes: "You won't even let me leave?"

——————Rhodes Island Doctor's Office——————

In the doctor's office, the desk was piled high with documents that could overwhelm or block one's view. Every now and then, a small hand could be seen reaching out from behind the documents to pick them up or put them aside.

The professor looked at the mountain of documents on the table that he had finished processing, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Yuuki, who was idly drinking coffee to the side.

"Yuzuki, I want dessert!"

"Okay." Xiyue nodded and put down her coffee. "Is there anything you'd like to eat? Or would you like some sweet desserts, since you just came back from the snow mountain not long ago?"

"You said you just got back, but how long have you been on the road?" The doctor waved his hand. "A little dessert will do. I need some dessert to recharge myself."

"Sugar can recharge the brain, right?" Yuzuki nodded and stood up. "Then wait for me."

Yuuki was very efficient and walked out of the room in no time, while the Doctor turned on the communicator and asked the department corresponding to the document to send someone to pick it up.

Normally, a clerk would take the documents, but the PhD student was very quick today and finished processing all the documents in no time.

Waiting for the clerk to come and collect the documents, and then having the clerk distribute them, would be a bit slow. It's better to just call the people from the corresponding departments over and let them take their respective documents.

Just as the doctor finished his call and was about to relax with a cup of coffee, he heard a knock at the door.

"...Sigh." The Doctor sighed upon hearing the knocking. Rhodes Island operators rarely came to see him without a formal reason.

Because they know they are usually very busy with work, they won't be bothered unless there's a formal reason for the knocking. At this time, it's only possible that someone has something to say.

However, a few girls do come to visit me, but they definitely won't knock; they'll just walk right in.

"I'm such a workaholic," the doctor said, pouring himself more coffee and calling out towards the door, "Come in."

"Hello, Doctor, I'm sorry to bother you. I hope I haven't disturbed your work." An operator pushed open the door and entered, carrying a stack of documents.

"It's alright, it's alright." The doctor glanced at the pile of documents and breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that this person had just come to deliver a report. He knew the researcher from the Medical Department's Botanical Garden.

According to the Doctor's memory, nothing particularly noteworthy should have happened at the Botanical Garden during the time he was away from Rhodes Island.

So they're probably just here to deliver their latest research report. They should just take a look; there shouldn't be anything particularly troublesome...

Oh, no, there's something I need to pay attention to. Ansel, who came over as an assistant yesterday, said that the medical department got a powerful prescription from Yuzuki.

That was a prescription that could help paralyzed people regain the ability to live a normal life.

"Are you here to deliver a report?" the doctor asked, taking a sip of coffee. "Oh, by the way, I heard the medical department acquired a new prescription. Is this the research report related to that prescription?"

"Yes." The operative nodded, then turned to look at the mountain of documents on his desk, unsure of where to put them.

"Just give it to me." The Doctor took a sip of coffee, walked over, and took the document from the operator.

"Excuse me, Doctor." Seeing that the Doctor had accepted the documents, the operator gave a slight nod to the Doctor and then walked towards the door.

"Just consider it a way to balance things out while waiting for dessert." The Doctor watched the operator leave, sighing. It was just studying documents; there was no need for him to provide any special guidance.

Afterwards, the doctor sat comfortably in her office chair and began to flip through the documents in her hand, but as she flipped through them, something about the documents seemed strange to her.

'I have absolutely no recollection of these plants... and these chemical components seem to be missing a lot. Is there something that wasn't analyzed?'

——————Rhodes Island Dining Hall——————

"Sure enough, there's even more delicious food outside." A girl dressed in thick clothes sat in a corner of the pond, enjoying a dessert made with love by Gu Mi.

"As expected, contacting the Rhodes Island operators and having them bring me here was the right choice. I hope Ya'er can help me keep this a secret for a little longer."

"It's about time we left." Chu Xue breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Since it wasn't lunchtime yet, there were very few staff members in the cafeteria.

Although the first snow was wearing rather thick clothes, it didn't look like the kind of clothes one would wear at this time.

But there was more than one weirdo on Rhodes Island, so no operator paid any attention to this thickly dressed "weirdo" sitting in the corner.

However, Chuxue didn't want to be recognized. Although, in theory, not many people on Rhodes Island should know her, she was just here to relax, or in other words, to slack off.

Just as Chuxue picked up the sacred bell that was on her lap, the bell, which wouldn't ring even if shaken, suddenly rang out with a clear sound because of the slight movement when she picked it up.

"What's going on?" Chu Xue looked at the sacred bell she had picked up with some confusion. Shaking the sacred bell didn't make a sound, so it wasn't because it was broken.

Rather, it's because this bell has been blessed by the gods. If you shake it without reciting a prayer, it won't make a sound; instead, it will freeze the user into an ice block. If you recite something incoherently, the magic released through the sacred bell might even turn around and beat the bell-ringer.

But now, the Holy Bell in Chuxue's hand suddenly rang out with a clear, crisp sound. Even though Chuxue quickly steadied the swaying Holy Bell, the sound still echoed in the cafeteria.

'What's going on?' Chu Xue looked at the Holy Bell in her hand, which was ringing continuously, somewhat at a loss. She had never heard of such a thing before.

The next moment, the sacred bell, which had been ringing continuously, suddenly stopped ringing abruptly.
