Chapter 315 Female version of Hashirama Te!
"An extraordinary being who can control plants?"
Xiao Yu suddenly heard Hong Lian's voice transmission, and in an instant, he arrived at the orchard.
Then he saw Honglian and the flaxen-haired girl from the Luoyan tribe.
"What abilities do you have?" Xiao Yu asked, scrutinizing the girl with curiosity.
He hadn't seen many plant-based supernatural abilities before.
"Greetings, Lord City Lord!" Aqing glanced at Xiao Yu and bowed respectfully.
When they first met, they were too far apart.
The girl was still somewhat timid and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yu at all.
Only now, up close, do I realize how handsome the city lord is, and how approachable he seems.
"My ability is to communicate with plants, give them a spiritual quality, and control them to fight."
As Aqing spoke, she looked into the orchard, glanced at the apple and pear trees, and then walked to the nearest apple tree. She placed her rough little hands on the apple tree and seemed to be muttering something, as if she were chanting a spell.
The next second, a crystalline green light emanated from the girl's palm and flowed into the apple tree.
Then, the apple tree seemed to come alive and began to sway joyfully.
Upon seeing this, Aqing shouted, "Attack!"
Instantly, dozens of apples flew out, hitting the ground more than ten meters away.
When all the apples were gone, the apple tree branches began to shake violently again.
The treetops flared wildly, like hands.
If anyone gets close, they'll be whipped until their head is swollen like a pig's.
"This is... an Apple Shooter?" Seeing this, Xiao Yu's lips twitched slightly, and he asked curiously, "How many trees can you control at the same time? How can you make them fight like this?"
Such a powerful attack is too weak to harm superhumans.
But superpowers don't necessarily have to be used for fighting; they have many other uses.
"It's like this, Lord City Lord. After I imbue them with sentience, they will fight for me on their own. Even when I'm not here, they can keep attacking. But I'm only at the third rank right now, so my control is limited. I can only manage a maximum of ten trees." Aqing scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
The other third-tier powerhouses all possess formidable combat strength.
However, at this third level, she could only control low-level plants, and her physique was also quite ordinary.
Such an attack would be completely ineffective against a superhuman.
“Ten trees are quite a lot. Although their power isn’t strong, they’re perfect for guarding the orchard! And… we won’t need to do anything to harvest the fruit.” Hearing this, Honglian’s eyes lit up.
The key is that even if Aqing isn't in the orchard, these fruit trees can still fight.
That's like hiring ten gatekeepers for the orchard, isn't it?
If anyone tries to steal the fruit in the future, these fruit trees will teach them a lesson.
Of course, if you encounter a superhuman, even if you can't defeat them, you can at least stop them.
All you need to do is put a wind chime or something on the apple tree.
Just ring the wind chime once, and the whole city of Dragon City will know.
“That’s really good. If your strength improves, will you be able to control more plants? The power should be even stronger, right?” Xiao Yu thought of something and looked at the thin girl.
She was clearly a beauty in the making, but now she's become quite thin and unattractive.
He's in terrible shape and can't perform to his full potential.
This is after my body was nourished by the glowing environment yesterday, and it has already improved.
"After increasing your strength, the power will naturally be greater." Aqing nodded gently.
"Go and fetch a cup of Night-Shining Dew," Xiao Yu said, looking at Hong Lian beside him.
"Okay." Honglian nodded and quickly left.
Xiao Yu then had A Qing try it out.
He discovered that this girl still had a lot of room for improvement in her abilities.
For example, controlling the precision of these plants.
Just as Honglian said, in no time at all, all the ripe fruits were picked.
It controls the plants, making them tear themselves off.
Additionally, you can control plants to grow rapidly, sprouting vines to entangle enemies.
But she is still too weak, and her abilities have not been fully developed.
A moment later, Honglian walked over with graceful steps.
She held two sets of gray and white work clothes and a small crystal bottle about the size of a thumb, and handed them to Aqing, saying, "These are your work clothes. You'll wear them to work from now on. This is Night-Shining Dew. Drinking it will be very beneficial to your health."
"Oh, thank you, Lady Honglian."
The girl took it and touched the work clothes; they were very smooth and soft.
She thought it would be very comfortable to wear.
Looking again at the milky white liquid flowing from the crystal bottle in her hand, the girl asked in disbelief, "Is this the Night-Shining Dew? Is it really for me?"
Everyone in Dragon City knows the legend of the Night-Shining Dew.
Therefore, even though she had only just joined Dragon City, she had already heard many people mention this thing.
However, this luminous dew was too precious, and she was somewhat flattered.
"Stop talking nonsense and drink it quickly." Xiao Yu waved his hand and urged from the side.
"Oh, oh." Aqing licked her lips and quickly took a small sip.
It not only tastes very sweet.
Moreover, it felt ten times more comfortable than when I bathed in the glow-in-the-dark area yesterday.
Soon, Aqing finished the entire bottle of Night Glow Dew.
At this moment, she was still somewhat thin and bony.
However, her complexion gradually became rosy.
The exposed skin is no longer as dry and shriveled as before.
The level 8 Night-Shining Dew has a significantly improved effect on nourishing the body.
"How does it feel? How about we test its power again?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile, seeing the girl's change in demeanor.
"Lord City Lord, I feel better than ever before." Aqing clenched her fist, her still-childish face full of surprise, her eyes sparkling.
Following Xiao Yu's instructions, she tried again and exclaimed with delight, "Hahaha, Lord City Lord... I can now control twenty trees at the same time!"
"Not bad, not bad! Now there are twenty gatekeepers in the orchard." Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.
“Yes! This orchard is very important! Originally... we were saying we'd need to hire dozens of people to take good care of these fruit trees.” Honglian smiled with satisfaction at Aqing’s methods. “Now... you alone are enough.”
Beverages will become a signature industry of Longcheng in the future, a high-end, mass-production industry.
The production of alcoholic beverages currently relies mainly on these fruit trees.
It's easy to imagine how much Xiao Yu valued these fruit trees.
Next, Aqing tried to encourage the fruit tree to grow more branches and leaves, and to make it twine around.
Its power is also about twice as strong.
Nowadays, no ordinary person can enter the orchard without Aqing's permission.
Even if superhumans were to enter, there would still be some danger.
"I'm entrusting this orchard to you! You're new here, so I'll give you a month's salary... 500 merit points! If you do well, I can increase it further, and you'll get all sorts of benefits." Xiao Yu was very satisfied with A Qing's performance, patted the girl's shoulder, and encouraged her with a smile.
As he spoke, he handed Aqing a card with 500 merit points remaining.
He was thinking of nurturing this girl who could control plants.
Although she is weak now, once she grows up, she might become the female version of Hashirama Senju!
"Thank you, Lord City Lord! I will definitely work hard! I won't let you down!" Aqing promised repeatedly, her little face full of seriousness.
I never expected the city lord to value her so much.
They gave her Night Dew as soon as she arrived and treated her so well.
In this way, she only needs one month to officially join Dragon City.
"It seems a bit too spacious here." After arranging the work in the orchard, Xiao Yu looked around the orchard and frowned slightly.
With a thought, a torrent of earth and rocks surged into the middle of the orchard.
Then, right under Aqing's dumbfounded gaze...
The earth and rocks were quickly piled up, building a house that was similar to the residential area of the inner city.
It still has two bedrooms and a living room, with windows on all four sides, and Xiao Yu even built crystal glass windows.
"Lord City Lord, you are truly amazing!"
This was the first time Ah Qing had ever seen the City Lord unleash such power.
She finally understood.
How were so many beautiful and sturdy houses in Longcheng built?
"From now on, this will be your rest area while you work. Later... I'll have someone bring some bedding over." After the house was built, Xiao Yu thought back to what else the security room in his previous life would need and prepared it all.
"Is this really for me? Can I stay here indefinitely?"
Although she had already guessed the city lord's intention in building this house, upon hearing this, Aqing was still overwhelmed with surprise and jumped up excitedly.
"Hehe! Don't be too happy yet! I didn't say that the Night Dew I drank earlier was a gift for you! It's worth about two thousand merit points, and it's all on your tab!" Xiao Yu said, winking at the flaxen-haired girl.
"Huh?" Aqing's dry little face instantly puffed up into two little buns.
The joy of just getting a house instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
On her first day at work, she signed a contract for a huge sum of two thousand? How is she going to pay that back?
"Hehe! Look how scared you are."
Seeing the girl's somewhat adorable appearance, Xiao Yu shook his head with amusement and spoke again.
"I'm just kidding. If you can reach the required physical strength and advance to the fourth rank within a month, this Night-Shining Dew will be your reward. But if you can't break through... hehe! You know what I mean."
"A breakthrough in a month?" Aqing looked up at the ceiling, hope rekindling in her eyes.
Plant-type talents improve strength very slowly, but with the Glowing Tree, things might be different!
"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will do my utmost."
