Joey checked that there was no Magnemite wandering around the entrance of the power station and confirmed that Nanjo Aoi had returned to the power station.
Through the transmitter outside the power station, Joey and Luther informed Nanjo Aoi in the main control room of their intentions.
After waiting for a while, the electronic door made a "click" sound and opened.
Because the power station was about to be expanded, a lot of construction materials were piled up behind the wall of the power station. In order to prevent rainwater, Nanjo Aoi and Crayfish dragged several large waterproof tarpaulins out of the power station gate.
While covering the building materials with a waterproof tarpaulin, Nanjo Aoi said: "Yuzi brought you here specially. I'm afraid you might need my help if you have something to do. Let's talk about it."
Luther was stunned for a moment before realizing that the grapefruit mentioned by Nanjo Aoi refers to Joey. Does it sound like a nickname?
"Then let me get straight to the point. To put it simply, I would like to ask you to help me purchase some saplings or tree species, and I may even need your help in cultivating them."
Nanjo Aoi glanced at Joey and sighed helplessly: "It seems that Yuzu said something to you... Your description is indeed simple enough, but the information is not enough. Tell me, what do you want to buy saplings and tree seeds for?
.”
Luther described his thoughts in detail in the afternoon and also talked about the things he was currently struggling with.
"I want the elves on the island to have a better environment to live in."
After Luther finished saying this, Nanjo Aoi was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'll help you."
Things were much easier than Luther and Joy imagined.
On the way here, Joey and Luther were both worried that Nanjo Aoi was not good at communicating with others...
And it sounds like Nanjo Aoi still has some sad memories that she has not told Joey. She comes from a gardening family, but she stays away from the hustle and bustle by herself, as if she specially avoids crowds, choosing quiet places to perform tasks.
The crux is probably related to gardening.
Luther is ready to ask the eight inspectors to find another relevant professional to help him.
Maybe it will be a loss in the long run... But if the problem of the elves on the island can be solved quickly, Luther thinks it is worth it.
"but…"
Nanjo Aoi's voice made Luther's excitement sink again.
"I need you to understand that according to your plans and assumptions, it will cost a lot of money." Nanjo Aoi looked at Luther with her clear eyes, "It cannot be done overnight. The environment on the island can only be changed little by little."
"Change takes time, which means that the money invested will not see the effect for the time being, which is equivalent to not hearing the sound when you throw it into the water, and the risk of failure follows you."
"Even so, are you willing to bear the consequences and costs and work hard for the elves on this island?" Nanjo Aoi asked.
Luther responded decisively without any hesitation: "I have awakened."
Nanjo Aoi didn't see any wavering in Luther's eyes, his eyes were firm from beginning to end.
Nanjo Aoi chuckled, and after realizing what she was doing, she covered her mouth in embarrassment.
This is the first time that Joey has known Nanjo Aoi for so long that he has seen her talk so much to someone she has not interacted with many times, and even...smiled in front of Luther?
Does it really mean that you become more talkative when you talk about things you are good at?
"I'm just kidding. It's not as serious as I said. The consequences of failure are nothing like that. I just want to see if you really have this determination."
"Originally, after you bought the island, I was already thinking about whether to move to a quieter place to carry out the alliance's tasks. Now it seems that I don't need to. I admire your kindness towards the elves, because it not only requires a lot of courage, but also
Don’t be afraid of trouble.”
Upon hearing this comment, Luther was stunned for a moment.
You should be the one who fears trouble the most, right?
What he is doing now is indeed not in line with his character.
A little weird.
Nanjo Aoi, who recognized Luther, followed him to the station.
When everyone arrived, Nanjo Aoi began to answer Luther's doubts and use her own experience to make reasonable suggestions.
"The East Island of Lily of the Valley is too big to become fat in one go, so the first batch of saplings we purchase should be those with a short maturity period and less stringent climate requirements. This can greatly alleviate the elves' problems.
food stress.”
"Although most of the fruits produced by this type of tree have a mediocre taste and the energy they can replenish is mediocre, the advantage is that the cycle is short."
"Secondly, in view of the lack of plant species, the saplings we introduce should take into account the island's environment and buy more saplings that adapt to the conditions so that they can bloom everywhere."
"Also, it is necessary to purchase some cold-resistant fruit trees so that the wild elves on the island can harvest something in winter."
"Also, buy large quantities of saplings with delicious fruits that can quickly replenish the energy needed by the elves. The saplings can be young. Anyway, this is for the long term."
"Next is..."
Character collapse?
How does this eloquent and high-spirited look look like a person who is not good at communicating?
After Nanjo Aoi arrived at the station, Luther and others did not interrupt. As long as they asked a question, she could quickly answer the question and then elicit various other ideas.
Is this what it looks like when a professional gets into the zone?
"Stop, stop." Luther quickly interrupted Nanjo Aoi, who was talking non-stop after entering the state.
Nanjo Aoi happened to feel thirsty as she spoke, so she took the water from Joey, who was already dumbfounded, and took a sip.
"We know you are a professional, so just make a list for me based on your ideas." Luther said, "Just write it according to what you think is the best configuration."
Quickly finding a piece of white paper, Nanjo Aoi picked up the pen and started writing quickly. She paused while writing, thinking about something.
Mai, who knew a little bit about fruit trees, looked at the increasing number of names on the paper and suddenly realized...the wallet would suffer heavy casualties.
When the list was handed over to Luther, he fainted.
"White Bamboo Fruit: It has a sweet taste, large and firm flesh, lots of juice, average fruit size, but good environmental adaptability."
"Sweet cherry fruit: sweet smell, full and crystal flesh, small amount of fruits, suitable for the climate of the island, and can meet the energy needs of most elves, and has a strong feeling of satiety."
"Red Ink Pear: It has many fruits, matures quickly, has very low climate and land requirements, the flesh is slightly astringent, and it can replenish little energy."
“…”
A piece of white paper is filled with writing, leaving almost no empty space.
Luther still knew the fruit trees purchased in this batch based on Nanjo Aoi's label, and there were fourteen types of other plants.
As for these fourteen types, except for the three types of sweet cherry, pomelo, and green mu fruit that Luther had heard of, the others were completely unheard of.
Since Nanjo Aoi has lived on the island for a long time and is familiar with the island's environmental structure, she believes that the fruit trees on this list are the most suitable for the climate, land, and existing living spirits of Suzuran East Island.
