October, the autumn winds gradually faded.
Sylutia crouched in the backyard field, carefully examining the Swan Orchid before her that reached arm's height.
The greenish bulbs resembled spindles, standing in the soft soil, with light green long leaves branching from the bulbs, naturally curving.
【Swan Orchid】(Good-53): Growing, humidity and light suitable, good ventilation.
Only good? The young girl gently touched the flower stem with her hand, feeling slightly disappointed.
She had originally thought that by fulfilling all the growth requirents for the Swan Orchid, the quality should reach excellent.
It seems things aren't that simple.
If eting the growth requirents isn't enough, then she needs to further analyze the growth situation to achieve an optimal state. The problem is, how would she know under which conditions the Swan Orchid grows best?
Communicate with the plant? But the Swan Orchid is just a plant, not a living creature that can speak.
Wait, although the Swan Orchid can't speak, it's not an inanimate object either. Just as animals have blood flowing through their bodies with their own rhythms, plants also have liquid called 'nectar' flowing within them. If she could perceive this rhythm, wouldn't she be able to understand its condition and help it thrive?
Sylutia felt a surge of hope. She placed her hand on the Swan Orchid's bulb, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed, searching for that subtle rhythm.
Ti passed...
After a long while, she opened her eyes and shook her head in disappointnt.
Plants and animals differ greatly. They don't have heartbeats, so there's no such thing as a rhythm.
She could only go ask Scholar Hyde.
...
The next day, after class ended, Sylutia went to Scholar Hyde's study to inquire about plant cultivation.
"It seems you've encountered a bottleneck." Scholar Hyde had anticipated this.
"Your problem is the sa one that the earliest gardeners faced several eras ago."
"Unlike fairies who are naturally skilled at cultivating plants, if humans and other beings want to learn how to cultivate extraordinary crops, they must overco the barrier of communication and understanding."
"There are actually two approaches. The first is very common - directly replicating based on experiences left by predecessors. The second is to individually understand each plant's situation in detail, then make targeted adjustnts."
"The latter is clearly more effective, but also much more difficult. Most gardeners use the first thod in the early stages."
"That's why you can see in the sa orchard, there are both high-quality fruits and poor-quality fruits. What gardeners can do is only try to increase the base number to allow more high-quality fruits to appear."
"I actually wanted to suggest that you simply cultivate according to experience templates for now."
"However, through our ti together, Tia, I know you're certainly not satisfied with just following experience and waiting for luck, right?" Scholar Hyde stroked his beard and spoke with understanding.
"Yes, teacher, please teach ." Seeing his confident manner, the young girl knew full well that this teacher must have a solution.
"Hehe, you always call
teacher so affectionately at tis like this." The old man complained slightly. Sylutia rarely communicated with him in class, usually staying quietly in the corner listening without actively answering questions.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you." He stood up, searched through the bookshelf, and finally pulled out one book.
