Chapter 521

The old Tengluo clan came over with the younger one. They didn’t know what they had exchanged. The old Tengluo clan looked at the three tiger brothers, and their eyes lit up: "ΠΣЕГнВПЖЗ"

Li Zheng: "What is he talking about?"

The second tiger man had already adjusted his language to the Tengluo clan, and was puzzled by Li Zheng's question, but Kota reacted and retranslated it in their own clan's language before he understood: "Oh, he just said thank you. We sent Basil back before, and Basil is the little vine clan, his grandson, who came to visit him from Jiuyi3 block."

Then, he said strangely: "No, when did we escort him back? Brother, didn't we rob him before?"

Kanger: "...?"

Basil: "...?"

Li Zheng: "...!"

Nima, you failed in the robbery, and people mistakenly thought you were escorting him, so you recognized it, and actually told the truth in front of his grandfather?

It's okay to say it, at least you can change the language!

Everyone understands it!

This time, Li Zheng understood a little bit why the second tiger man kept losing in the casino.

This seems to be shrewd, but it is actually a foolish brain circuit. I am afraid that someone else asks your trump card, so you tell them honestly, right?

(For viewing convenience, the following dialogue is transcribed)

Kanger: "Several of you are really joking. My family Basil told me that you escorted him here, for fear that he might lose something on the road, and let him check it carefully.

Since I happened to be here, I will give the three of you a little thank you in a moment. "

"Thank you?" The third tiger man touched his forehead and asked Kota, "Brother, does this count as a successful robbery before?"

Boom!

The second tiger man smacked his head: "Stupid! Isn't the purpose of robbing us to gain benefits from the target? No matter whether the benefit is obtained at the time or after a while, isn't it all considered to be obtained?

From this, we learned that our robbery of this little vine clan was a success! "

"Oh..." The third tiger man rubbed his head, raised a tiger claw and praised: "Second brother is really smart!"

Well, the reason why the third tiger man is the most stupid has also been found. He is often smashed like this, even a normal person is fooled by the smash.

Li Zheng now suspects that the reason why the three tiger brothers are so poor is not because they lost or spent money in a prostitute.

This is simply being deceived!

God!

These three fools still learn from others to be robbers?

How dare they?

Li Zheng obviously saw the bark at the corner of Kanger's mouth, the old tree man, and he probably also saw that there was something wrong with the three brothers' brain circuits, so he changed the topic: "I saw only one person taking the task in the background, Are you team action?"

"That's not it!" The second tiger man shook his head vigorously, pointed at Li Zheng and said: "This one is the one who took the task... By the way, what's your name? Oh, Li Zheng. The one who took the task is this Li Zheng family. Player, we failed to rob him, and he was caught by him as a helper."

Basil dragged Kanger and said, "Look at Grandpa, I said they are good people, how can robbers fail to rob and help others with tasks?"

"Haha, from the perspective of casinos and prostitutes, they are really good people." Li Zhengpi smiled.

The three tiger brothers can only say that their nature is not bad, but what they do is not a good thing in essence.

Li Zheng was too lazy to struggle with this kind of thing here. He was more concerned about the task, and asked the second brother Tiger Man to ask Kanger for the details of the task.

"Talk while you walk."

Kanger then reacted, and walked inside the botanical garden with a large group of people, introducing things related to the mission.

In general, Kanger, as a vine family, has a unique advantage in cultivating plants.

The plant fruits cultivated by him are much higher than other similar products in terms of taste and taste.

He has contracted the supply channels of many restaurants and fresh food stores on the nearby streets.

In recent days, he has cultivated a new variety. Once it is put into the market, there is no homogeneous product in a short period of time, and he can make a lot of money.

Seeing that it was time to harvest, I didn't expect a bug called "leaf ant" to appear in the planting area of ​​the new variety.

This worm feeds on the leaves, stems, and roots of plants, and has a strong ability to reproduce.

Not only that, but they are also the nemesis of the vines.

Once the "leaf ants" crawl on their bodies, the indestructible "leaf ants' jaws" can easily break through the defenses on their body surface, burrow into the inner layer, and reproduce in the nest. In just seventy-two hours, the newly bred "leaf ants" can devour a single vine clan without leaving a single bit of debris.

"That's weird." Li Zheng asked after listening to Kanger's narration: "I just walked all the way and observed that all the surrounding buildings are fully enclosed, so it should be difficult for things from the outside to get in, right? Where did the leaf ants come from?"

"There are two possibilities."

Kanger speculated about this: "One is that I didn't check carefully when I introduced the original plant of the new variety, and was taken advantage of by the ant eggs attached to the original plant.

There is another..."

"Did someone else put it in?" Li Zheng had already guessed what Kanger was going to say.

"That's right."

Kanger sighed and didn't say much, it seemed that there was a hidden meaning in it.

But that's none of Li Zheng's business, he just has to deal with the leaf ants.

The interior space of Kanger Botanical Garden is unexpectedly large. The area where Li Zheng followed Kanger alone is at least 80 acres!

Eighty acres of land are divided into more than ten greenhouses of different sizes, and fixed imitation sun lamps are installed on the ceiling to provide the necessary light for the plants.

Other high-end equipment such as temperature controllers, humidity controllers, special gas controllers, etc. are also installed in the corners of some greenhouses to meet the different needs of each plant.

When he came to the door of a greenhouse, Li Zheng looked inside through the transparent outer wall. It turned out to be a plant very similar to a coconut tree, except that the leaves were gnawed in pieces, and the top of the tree was growing. The fruit is more than twice the size of an ordinary coconut.

"These are the new varieties you have cultivated?" Li Zheng watched carefully, and finally found a few blue ants on one of the trees.

Each leaf ant is the size of a thumb and has long jaw teeth that make its way through tree trunks effortlessly.

"If you can, could you please help me keep a few live ants?" Kanger hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Because the ants eat plants, but they also secrete A biogenic substance that can greatly speed up plant growth."

This is also a skill that leaf rodent ants rely on to survive. It uses biogenic substances to speed up plant growth to ensure that their food is not consumed too quickly.

The owners of some botanical gardens will raise a few broods to extract biomass to speed up plant growth and increase yield.

"Grandpa!" Basil hurriedly shouted: "The leaf ants are too dangerous. If they are not handled carefully, they can easily endanger their lives!"

The vine family itself is a plant-like life, and the breeding of rodent ants is as outrageous as the rat's delusion of raising a cat.

It's far more dangerous than standing next to a tanker and playing with fire.

There have been vines who have done this in the past, but the final result was that the leaf ants got into the body along the palm of the hand during a feeding, and had to spend a lot of money to find a brilliant doctor to help take it out.

Some rodent ants sense danger and will run around in the host's body. There are also examples of important organs such as the brain stem or the heart being pierced by rodent ants on the way to the hospital.

"All investment behaviors have risks." Kanger patted Basil gently, "but Grandpa also believed that the higher the risk, the higher the final return."

"Several nearby botanical gardens have introduced rodent ants. If Grandpa falls behind, the market share originally occupied is likely to be encroached on by them."

"The milk salt fruit is Grandpa's hope. This batch of fruit is ruined. I have to cultivate another batch before the delivery date, otherwise I will pay a large amount of liquidated damages."

However, the growth cycle of conventional cultivation methods is too long, and he can't wait.

Li Zheng frowned slightly: "Don't you have oxytocin here? Using that can also speed up plants, and it's safer."

"Oxygen..."

Kanger shook his head bitterly: "That kind of high-end goods are only available in a few blocks, and here we... The cost is not affordable for us."

Who doesn't want to use something safe?

The problem is it's too expensive!

The fee for transporting goods across the block is too high, and it is more difficult to open a branch factory. The oxytocin is sold to the botanical garden after layers of agents, which is simply an exorbitant price!

Only a few botanical gardens are willing to buy small quantities for the cultivation of particularly precious and rare plants.

"How expensive is it?" Li Zheng asked casually out of curiosity.

"If you want to ask about the price..." Kanger stretched out a finger full of vines: "One hundred grams of oxytocin extract costs one thousand white crystal coins!"

"It's so valuable?!" Li Zheng was shocked, 100 grams of oxytocin can only supply a plant for a little more than an hour's consumption.

"It takes 12 days for a milk salt fruit tree to grow. If oxytocin is used to speed up the whole process..." Kanger shook his head: "I can't even think about it!"

"How much does the growth-promoting substance secreted by the leaf ants increase the plant?" Li Zheng asked again.

"1.25 times." Kanger thought for a while: "But I have heard that if the formula can be found, the fertilization substances secreted by the leaf ants can be made into fertilizers, and the value can be increased to 1.75 times. "

1.75 times, that is to say, even worse than oxytocin.

Li Zheng remembered that when he discovered the plant cultivation room left by Roemont, he had obtained some ordinary culture medium, and the increase was twice as high, which was even more powerful than the growth-inducing substances of the leaf ants.

"Actually, oxytocin also has some side effects." Kanger said: "Using oxytocin directly on plants will squeeze the potential of plants. Except for the first batch of fruits that can maintain the original taste and taste, the results will be more and more after each time. Worse, until it becomes worthless.

So those botanical gardens that buy oxytocin will also choose to stop using oxytocin after a quick batch of fruit is produced, allowing the plant to breathe and restore its original potential.

If oxytocin can be made into an intermediate medium, this side effect can be avoided. "

Having said this, he sighed deeply again: "Unfortunately, the factory that made the intermediate culture medium was destroyed, and the formula disappeared. So far, no one has been able to reproduce it on the market."

Another factory destroyed?

Li Zheng's heart moved, how come several things he opened from the treasure box, his own production factory was destroyed at a certain period of time?

Is it a coincidence?

still……

"The delivery date of the first batch is just ten days away. I can only catch up with the army by taking advantage of the leaf ants." Kanger pleaded with Li Zheng: "Please help me keep a few live ones."

At this time, Keta, the tool person in charge of the translation, seemed to want to show it, patted his chest and assured: "Old man, don't worry, I will help you with this!"

Knowing that the target of the mission is leaf ants, which is only a fatal threat to plant-like life, the three tiger brothers are revived, and they speak a lot.

Li Zheng glared at him: "Is it your task or my task? What are you talking about here?"

"I'm sorry!" Kota suddenly shrank his head in fright, and apologized sternly.

Just now, I was a little complacent, and I forgot that my life was still in the hands of others.

Although Li Zheng had already dissipated the icy needles the moment he entered Ru Botanical Garden, Keta did not dare to be presumptuous, because every time he thought of doing something to Li Zheng, he could feel the presence or absence of it from the other party. pressure.

It seemed that the man had always reserved a part of his energy to keep an eye on himself.

Cota doesn't know yet, it's not just him who feels this way, but everyone in the room feels the same way.

Including Kanger's grandparents, otherwise they wouldn't be so polite to Li Zheng.

"Tell me about the weakness of leaf ants first."

Li Zheng didn't immediately agree to Kanger's request, "I'll consider whether to keep a few for you when I start to get rid of them."

"Thank you so much!" Kangel was overjoyed, talking about the weakness of leaf ants: "These insects are afraid of high temperature, and they can only be completely killed by cutting them in two.

In addition, there is a unique soldier ant in the colony of leaf ants. Its jaw teeth are stronger than ordinary leaf ants, and it even has wings, which can fly and attack hostile targets.

If you see soldier ants appear, you must protect the most vulnerable organs in your body, and the consequences will be disastrous!

Nothing else. "

"Oh, that's right!" Kanger remembered something and added: "Don't underestimate these bugs. Although a single leaf ant is only close to the extraordinary strength of the diamond level, once the number increases, it is even a star level. Life will suffer even if it is careless.”

After Hu Er finished translating, his face changed, and he pointed at Li Zheng with great satisfaction: "Old man, let alone a few less than extraordinary little bugs, this person from Li Zheng's clan has the strength of a king, and for a while Once you get in, it's a matter of hand!"

"Yes, yes!" Hu San nodded vigorously: "Pinch in hand!"

Seeing the two idiotic younger brothers flattering Li Zheng, Keta covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly.

He is the enemy!

Enemy!

Our little lives are still in the hands of others, how can you two act like you are their little brothers?

"Kota!"

"exist!"

Li Zheng suddenly called out his name, startling Hu Da, and immediately put down his hand and stood upright.

"You three, let me go in and kill the insects!"

"!!!"

It was only then that Kota remembered that the three of his brothers were pinched by others, and he almost forgot to help them with tasks.
