1492 Manor
“After completing the infusion, you can obtain natural science experience points. In the beginning, it is more difficult to control the natural energy, and it is also very difficult to sense the natural energy. This is related to natural talent. Just spend more time practicing, and eventually, man will conquer nature, and hard work can make up for one’s weakness.”
So that was the case.
“Thank you. I’ve remembered everything.”
Fang Heng secretly noted down the key points in his head. He looked at the night sky outside the window and said, “It’s a little late. I want to find a quiet place to rest for the next few days. I hope it’s spacious. It’s best if it’s suitable for me to study natural science.”
He was thinking of a quiet and spacious place that was suitable for holding the zombie clones, as well as cultivating natural science.
!!
“You want to learn natural science? Here?”
Ruan Ziying was even more confused.
Natural science could be learned anywhere. Why did he have to spend so much effort to come to the advanced game world to learn?
Was it to increase the difficulty for himself?
Was there such a need?
Fang Heng saw Ruan Ziying’s hesitation and asked, “Is it very difficult?”
“No problem. You’re our customer. We’ll try our best to satisfy your requests.”
Ruan Ziying had not realized the seriousness of the matter.
She had received many clients before, and there were many who had more troublesome problems than Fang Heng.
At the very least, Fang Heng’s current requests could be resolved with money.
As long as it could be solved with money, it would not be a problem!
“It just so happens that I have a manor in the suburbs. It’s abandoned and no one lives there. Usually, no one will disturb me. A master of natural science used to live there too. Cultivating in the house can also give you a little bonus. You can stay there, how about it?”
“Good!”
Ruan Ziying waved at the driver and said, “Brother Liu, go to the manor in Lin County.”
A hint of doubt flashed across the driver’s eyes as he stepped on the accelerator and turned into the small road leading out of the city.
There were fewer people in the suburbs, so it was easier for the zombie clones to move around. There was also the added bonus of learning natural science. It seemed to be a pretty good place.
Fang Heng was very satisfied with Ruan Ziying’s arrangement.
“So…”
This question made Ruan Ziying slightly stunned. She nodded and said, “Yes, it has been many years.”
Ruan Ziying sighed in her heart as she replied, “The advanced game world is sometimes more like the real world. I’ve stayed in the game longer than the outside world. After a long time, sometimes I can’t tell if it’s a game or reality.”
Fang Heng looked out of the window and asked, “I heard that this world is very safe?”
“Safety is relative.”
“Hmm?”
Fang Heng turned his gaze to Ruan Ziying, feeling that she seemed to have a hidden meaning behind her words.
“It’s probably the so-called ‘those who don’t know are fearless.’ Ordinary people can’t see, can’t touch, and won’t go near danger. To them, this place is a paradise.”
“What about you?”
“I’ve seen many dangers. In short, if you don’t touch the taboo, you won’t encounter any danger.”
“Taboo? What is it?”
Ruan Ziying put her finger in front of her mouth and made a gesture to silence him.
Fang Heng frowned, then shrugged and asked, “Alright, have you heard of any strange rituals?”
“Ritual?”
Ruan Ziying frowned and thought for a while and said, “I don’t have any impression of it. This world is very similar to the world we live in. There are also some strange stories and things like that. You can look them up online. By the way, I have a friend who works in a newspaper office. I can help you find out.”
“Thank you, in addition to this, I also want to find some precious plants to bring back. The rating needs to be S-level or above.”
“Is it related to the mission?”
“Yes.”
Ruan Ziying finally understood the purpose of Fang Heng’s visit.
So it was for a mission.
“S-level plants are more difficult. I’ll go back and contact a few of my friends. There should be some clues.”
An hour later, the car stopped in front of a large manor. The manor was built at the end of the path and had a large garden.
The main building of the manor was located in the depths of the garden. More than half of the building was covered with vines.
It seemed that there were very few people who came here usually.
“We’re here. This is the key to the main gate.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Heng took the copper key from Ruan Ziying and weighed it in his hand. He got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him again.
“How is it? Are you satisfied?”
“Very good. There’s no need to send me off. I can go in myself.”
Ruan Ziying didn’t insist. She stuck her head out of the window and asked, “I’ll ask a few friends about plants later. How about I pick you up at 10 am tomorrow morning?”
“Alright.”
“Right.”
Ruan Ziying reached out to stop Fang Heng, who was walking toward the manor.
“Hmm?”
“One more thing, there’s an organization called the Occult Investigation Joint Committee in this world. In short, it’s best not to get into conflict with them. If you encounter any problems, call me immediately.”
“Yes, alright.”
Fang Heng nodded to indicate that he would take note of it and waved his hand at the car.
The car turned around and slowly drove away along the path.
Ruan Ziying couldn’t help but stare at Fang Heng for a moment.
A strange guest.
The driver, Uncle Liu, moved his lips and asked, “Xiao Ruan, is it okay to leave him there alone?”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Abandoned manor in the suburbs?
In fact, it was the residence of one of the natural science teachers, Edoma Cervantes, after his old age.
It was said that Edoma had once written the monumental work of natural science, “General Theory of Nature”.
After hundreds of years, the manor passed through several owners. In the end, it was bought by Ruan Ziying at a high price.
After getting the manor, Ruan Ziying thoroughly searched the manor several times and even lived there for half a year.
In the end, she didn’t find anything!
It was just that the special structure of the house had a little bonus to the study of natural science below the intermediate level.
Ruan Ziying was convinced that this was just an ordinary manor.
Letting Fang Heng stay temporarily was already a waste.
…
Fang Heng estimated that the trip to Watts would only take three days, so he did not bring any luggage.
After entering the manor, he first entered a garden.
Although it was an abandoned manor in the suburbs, it could be seen that someone cleaned it often.
In the garden, the stone paths leading to the entrance of the manor were very clean.
The cultivation of natural science required one to sense natural energy.
Fang Heng could hardly feel this natural energy in the car.
Now, the large garden in front of the manor was filled with plants.
That should be enough, right?
Fang Heng was not in a hurry to enter the manor. He first walked to the center of the garden and scanned the area.
He could give it a try.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes again, focused, and activated natural science.
He opened his eyes again and Fang Heng finally saw the so-called natural energy.
At a glance, there were about thirty soft bright green lights scattered among the flowers in the manor’s garden.
The light was very dim, and there were very few of them.
