"W-wow! Cool!" Alex then walked out of the house into the courtyard.
That's when he saw two humanoid Gardemek and two Gardemek reconnaissance dogs.
He hadn't noticed them when he brought the two ladies inside earlier. Were these the guards Furina had told Neuvillette about?
Alex walked past them and found that none of them entered a state of alert or attacked him.
It seemed his information had already been pre-entered into their systems.
"That's great," Alex sighed. He also wanted to bring his summoned creatures home to raise them. Unfortunately, the three he caught at noon were still too low-level.
Even after such a long period of high-intensity Hydro Tulpa farming, they still couldn't avoid being hit by its attacks, taking DMG, and being instantly killed by a single punch or javelin.
After that, Alex didn't waste time catching more pets, because there were no more suitable ones to catch. It was a pity about the Hilichurl Rogue.
He couldn't even keep the one Hydro and one Anemo Hilichurl Rogue.
He really lacked a skill that could revive pets! He didn't have one yet; once a caught pet died, it was truly gone and he could only catch a new one. It was such a shame.
He felt that catching other summoned creatures wasn't as stable as increasing the number of his Combat Skill summons.
Moreover, after he ascended to level 40, he could summon more of his own summoned creatures.
And the newly discovered ability to store them in the summoning space also gave him a lot of operational flexibility. He could recall them to the space if the situation looked bad, then release them elsewhere.
By constantly controlling the entry and exit of summoned creatures from the summoning space during battle, he could essentially ensure his summoned creatures took no DMG.
Leaving that aside, Alex arrived at the spirit field. The five lemon trees were all full of large, plump lemons.
Alex sniffed lightly, and the rich, fresh scent of lemon filled his nostrils.
Alex casually picked a lemon. This lemon was so fragrant, constantly tempting his taste buds, making him want to eat it. He might as well try its sourness.
Alex used both hands to break it in half and popped it into his mouth.
Taking a bite, Alex instantly squeezed his eyes shut, >_<.
Hmm? It wasn't as sour as he imagined; there was a hint of sweetness in the sourness.
Nom nom, ptooey! After two bites, Alex still spat it out. Oh, eating raw lemon was really suffering.
But he also felt good. He had never seen Furina make such a sour face even after a ten-pull with two golds. It wasn't until now that Alex truly recovered.
For picking lemons, there was no need to be as careful about bumping them as with strawberries. After all, strawberries were delicate and easily rotted if bumped too much.
lemons were different; they had hard rinds.
His saved Elemental Burst now had a use.
"Open! My Waterland!" Alex shouted loudly, unleashing his Elemental Burst.
Then, dense water spouts continuously weaved through the five lemon trees, finally forming a water vortex in the air, with new lemons constantly being drawn into it.
In less than half a minute, all the lemons on the five lemon trees were pulled off by Alex's Hydro element!
Finally, Alex clenched his right fist and extended two fingers, controlling the flow of the Hydro element.
The lemon vortex in the air seemed to turn into a lemonade dragon, spiraling down into the bamboo basket Alex had prepared.
"Wow! This is too cool!" Behind him, Furina, who had just arrived, suddenly clapped her hands, having witnessed Alex's operation.
It turned out that Furina, unable to bear the loneliness, had left the sofa not long after Alex went out, heading to the courtyard field, wanting to watch Alex pick and perhaps taste a lemon beforehand.
Clorinde also followed behind Furina. She didn't want to sit there alone, so she followed Furina to see Alex's lemon and strawberry fields.
These lemons were larger, and the yield from one tree was also very high. With five trees in a ten-square-meter plot, Alex filled four bamboo baskets as tall as lolis.
Putting away three bamboo baskets into his backpack, Alex took out five more lemon tree seeds from his backpack and planted them.
However, the planting locations for these lemon trees were specifically rearranged this time.
Alex's plan was to surround this acre of land with lemon trees.
Inside would be the strawberry planting area, or other plant seeds if they appeared in the future, would also be planted there.
Thump thump thump thump thump, Alex first placed the five lemon tree seeds on the outer edge of the field closer to his house.
Hmm, he still needed to leave some small paths for people to pass through in the middle.
Alex clapped his hands, finished the arrangement, and then looked into the distance.
Hmm, the five strawberry fields were still counting down; they would be ripe for harvest in another two and a half days.
Oh? Under the cover of night, Alex also clearly saw three half-meter-tall sweet flowers, glowing faintly and vividly in Bloom, next to the strawberry fields.
"Hmm???" Alex immediately voiced his confusion.
Walking forward, Alex exclaimed, "Well, I'll be!"
Alex touched the nearest sweet flower. The next moment, the sweet flower retracted into the ground, and then a Pyro Whopperflower emerged.
The Pyro Whopperflower's three petals contracted together and began to turn red; it was about to spit fireballs!
Alex immediately captured it, and the Pyro Whopperflower turned into an ally. Its reddish petals returned to normal.
The main flower bud's two round black eyes blinked and blinked, its body slowly swayed from side to side, with three small lantern-like flames floating around it.
On the slightly cold night, one could feel warmth around this Pyro Whopperflower.
Then, Alex repeated the process, touching the other two sweet flowers.
A purple Electro Whopperflower appeared. The main flower bud's two yellow inverted-triangle eyes blinked and blinked, its body also swayed, with purple electric light lanterns floating around it.
A blue Cryo Whopperflower appeared! The main flower bud's two oval yellow eyes blinked and blinked with a line in its eyes, its body also swayed, with blue ice crystal lanterns floating around it.
"Wow!" Alex was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected to lose three Hilichurl summoned creatures and not even think about catching more, only to pick up three Whopperflowers of different elements when he got home that night.
Surprise after surprise!
"Oh, Whopperflowers!" At this moment, Furina also walked over, stood beside Alex, and said with her arms crossed, "I guess it's very likely that the scent from this strawberry field you planted is too enticing! Too sweet!"
Furina then took a deep breath, "Mmm~~~," she narrowed her eyes, clearly enjoying it. The air here was truly fresh and sweet.
"So that's how it is!" Alex also widened his eyes, then seemed to understand. Whopperflowers really seemed to be attracted by the scent of flowers and plants. So there was such a simple way to summon Whopperflowers!
Clorinde also walked over, looking at the three Whopperflowers, and said to Alex, "Since you can tame monsters, I think you can keep these three Whopperflowers. As long as they have enough nutrients, they might grow into huge trees that sway and spew magic after a while."
"Oh? Right!" Alex's eyes lit up again. These three Whopperflowers could also grow into Pyro Regisvines, Cryo Regisvines, and Electro Regisvines!
