Chapter 142 Atmosphere
The flower nursery owner quickly completed the count, and all fifty-three bees returned intact.
At that moment, Miss Officer Jenny came out of the room, escorting a middle-aged man dressed in a flower nursery uniform.
The flower gardener pointed at the man and shouted to the three bees, "I mistook him for someone else and let him switch your food!"
"But this will never happen again! I promise all the bees in my flower garden will eat and drink well!"
The owner must possess considerable personal charisma to be able to manage such a large flower nursery.
"Go back and rest today, and start work tomorrow. I'll have the staff bring you some fairy food and honey right away!"
After the three bees flew back to the hive, Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Manager, what's the deal with this person?"
The casino owner snorted coldly, "This guy is one of my long-time employees. He went to an underground casino a while ago and lost hundreds of thousands."
"There was no other way, so I thought of using his identity as a purchasing agent to switch the elf food and steal three honeys to sell."
"I called Ms. Officer Jenny, and her Growlithe dog found three unsold honeys in her cupboard."
The farm owner was furious. "This guy is really bold. He actually dared to steal the honey from the remaining fifty bees to sell, although the quantity was relatively small."
"If he hadn't been so greedy, we might never have been able to find evidence to arrest him."
Li Shuwen approached Officer Jenny with a smile and asked, "Officer Jenny, how is that trainer who abandoned Salamence last time doing?"
Miss Officer Jenny said, "He's already been detained and awaiting trial. This time, he'll face at least three years!"
Three years is the minimum, huh? Then it's fine.
"People like this should indeed be severely punished, so that all trainers can take this as a warning."
Miss Officer Jenny nodded in agreement.
"I knew it! You're really good at solving cases, Librarian. Look, you've caught another criminal for the police. Now you can handle any tricky cases you encounter."
"I hope the librarian will be willing to offer his guidance."
Li Shuwen's lips twitched. He had originally thought that the problem with this mission was with Pokémon.
The result was entirely man-made.
"Alright."
Miss Officer Jenny saluted. "Then I'll be going now."
After Miss Officer Jenny left, the owner insisted on taking Li Shuwen out for a special flower feast from their flower nursery.
Li Shuwen couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to stay for dinner.
You know what, the flower banquet was really nice.
Especially the pastries; the owner proudly introduced them to Li Shuwen, "These are our flower nursery's latest products—sweet flower cakes!"
High-end ingredients do indeed require only simple cooking methods.
"It tastes great."
The owner smiled and said, "Since the book collector likes it, take two more boxes with you when you go back."
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "That's enough, that's enough. The host has already spent enough on this meal."
The owner continued, "One million has already been transferred to the bookstore owner's account, after tax."
"This..." Li Shuwen hesitated.
The owner waved his hand, "This is just a small amount of money. I'd like to ask the curator of books, do you have any research on the evolution of the three-necked bee into a queen bee?"
Li Shuwen stroked his chin. "Evolving into a queen bee isn't actually difficult. You just need to keep eating honey and fairy food, and she'll evolve naturally."
"Is the farm owner trying to accelerate their evolution process?"
The farm owner nodded and said, "I hope to evolve the docile female three-necked bee, or the more rebellious female three-necked bee."
"If she gets upset and takes away my entire swarm, I'll lose everything."
Li Shuwen frowned. "My research on insect attributes isn't very deep, and I've only been raising that one. I'm afraid it might have some ideas now that it's just come back."
That is indeed a problem.
The owner quickly said, "I'm willing to offer another million. Please help me think of a way. If the three bees evolve successfully, I'll give you another million."
"That two million is after tax!"
This boss is really generous.
Li Shuwen nodded, "Alright, I'll go back and think of a solution first. Once I find a solution, you can pay me the first million."
The owner waved his hand dismissively, "No need, I trust the curator!"
The venue owner directly transferred one million yuan into Li Shuwen's account on the spot.
"I just hope that the librarian can help the three bees evolve soon."
Li Shuwen nodded, "Leave it to me."
The early birth of a queen bee in a bee colony not only helps stabilize the colony.
Moreover, the queen bee can continuously reproduce three bees, expanding the scale of production.
Li Shuwen's experience in simulating the giant butterfly cannot be fully applied to the three honeybees.
He needs to go back and check the information.
"Then I'll take my leave now. The gym may have more challengers coming. I'll try my best to provide an evolution plan within a week."
The owner nodded, "I'll leave everything to Master Shuwen!"
Before leaving, the owner insisted on stuffing four boxes of sweet flower cakes and a bucket of honey into the trunk.
Driving back to the dojo, Li Shuwen noted that only one challenger had visited during his absence.
Ah Kai has already told him to come back tomorrow.
Li Shuwen took out his phone and called Yongzao to explain the situation.
"The sweet flower cakes from this flower nursery are really delicious. I'll mail them to the research institute later, and you and the doctor can try them."
"Help me find the evolution data of the queen bee. Once the queen bee evolves, the quality of the honey will definitely improve. When that happens, I'll send you even sweeter flower cakes."
Yongzao smiled and said, "That would be great. I'll have Miaozi look up information about the Queen Bee at the research institute and send it to your email."
"However, the specific evolution plan needs to be tailored to the specific Pokémon."
Li Shuwen certainly understood this.
Of the two three-bee hybrids, Li Shuwen was more optimistic about the evolution of the three-bee hybrid from the peach.
If there were no external interference, perhaps it would truly be her who advanced.
That obedient three-necked bee was no less impressive.
The queen bee's information was quickly sent to Li Shuwen's email address.
After carefully reading the text, Li Shuwen came up with a good method.
Li Shuwen then called the owner of the farm, "Owner, I will use the three honeys you gave me, along with some other ingredients, to make elf food."
"Feeding that female three-necked bee will speed up her evolution."
This fairy food boosts the energy levels of the three bees, somewhat like magic candy.
It does not enhance the fighting power of the three bees, but it helps with evolution.
The owner was somewhat surprised and glanced at the time displayed on his phone.
Judging from when Li Shuwen left the flower garden, he should have only been back at the Curtain Dojo for at most half an hour.
A solution has been found so quickly?
"It will have some impact on the Queen Bee's combat power, and you will need to make up for it through extensive training."
The owner waved his hand, "That's not important. My queen bee only needs to be responsible for production. The flower nursery has dedicated security Pokémon."
Fine.
Li Shuwen nodded. "I'll start adjusting the formula tonight, and I'll have my apprentice deliver the first batch of finished products to the flower nursery around the day after tomorrow."
The owner waved his hand, "No need, just call me and I'll arrange for someone to come and pick it up. It's too much trouble for you to make the trip."
The owner of this venue is indeed generous; even Li Shuwen was somewhat impressed.
He earned two million in just half a day.
Even after tax, the owner only offered this price because of Li Shuwen's increasingly prominent reputation.
Li Shuwen suddenly felt that as the owner of a dojo, it might not be so bad to have a big reputation.
