As a Mecha, I Can Evolve Unlimitedly

"Thanks……"

While Bai Ying was still immersed in the lush greenery, Douzi had already opened the shoe cabinet with some paint peeling off, took out a pair of dark blue rubber slippers and placed them at Bai Ying's feet.

But when Bai Ying noticed that Douzi was wearing only a pair of socks and stepped on the metal floor, she knew that these slippers were specially prepared for guests.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Ying shook her hand in embarrassment, and followed Douzi's example by putting on her socks and stepping on the floor - do as the Romans do, and she didn't want Douzi and Sato Yu to accommodate her in every aspect.

Seeing that Bai Ying was still acting a little reserved, Douzi became even more enthusiastic. After putting the slippers neatly back into place, she pulled Bai Ying into the somewhat narrow living room.

I don't know if it was due to limited space, but apart from an L-shaped open kitchen and a refrigerator, the furniture in the entire living room only had a tea table that was so short that you had to kneel down to use it properly.

Induction cookers, microwaves, sinks...all kitchen and bathroom appliances were squeezed onto a countertop less than five meters away. Bai Ying could even imagine how troublesome it would be to cook.

The refrigerator is also an old single-door model, and its size can be called a mini. According to Bai Ying's estimation, even if the refrigerator is filled to the top, its storage capacity will not exceed three days' worth of food for one person.

The only thing that surprised Bai Ying was that there were seventeen pots of plants of various sizes placed in this cramped space, and there were some soaked in water and some planted in the soil!

Since Bai Ying was born, she could only see plants in textbooks and historical documentaries!

Occasionally, I have seen real plants a few times, and I have also seen them in museums and artificial natural gardens in wealthy areas.

Since mankind completed the fourth technological revolution forty years ago, natural plants have gradually transformed from a "land burden" in the previous expansion era to a "luxury product" in today's restricted era.

An inactive endangered plant seed is enough to fetch tens of millions of dollars at auction, not to mention a green plant that has already taken root!

But what makes Bai Ying even more puzzled is how these plants can grow to such an extent without any protection!

As the fourth technological revolution changed the ecological environment of the entire planet, 95% of plants became extinct on a large scale because they were unable to adapt to the new environment - and the remaining 5% could not survive in the open air. To survive.

Compared with having a seed, it is more difficult to build an environment where the seed can take root and germinate!

It can be said that the money required to buy a live seed is not even one-tenth of the cost of building a natural-like garden!

That's why Bai Ying was so surprised when he saw these plants.

jingle!

A crisp bell brought Bai Ying's thoughts back to reality. When she looked up, she realized that Douzi was holding a copper bell.

Seeing that Bai Ying was no longer in a daze, Douzi brought the two cups of "tea" he had just brewed to the tea table, and then knelt down obediently opposite Bai Ying.

"This is...tea?" Waves of steaming steam emerged from the cup in front of Bai Ying, and a green leaf floated and rotated leisurely on the transparent water.

Douzi nodded vigorously, and his big sky-blue eyes seemed to be asking Bai Ying, "Isn't this tea?".

Bai Ying raised his eyebrows slightly and looked along where Douzi was working in the kitchen just now. He suddenly discovered that a green plant there was missing two leaves!

"..." Bai Ying held the hot tea cup in both hands, and for a moment he didn't know whether to drink it or not.

Douzi seemed very calm. She widened her eyes as if to demonstrate, blew the hot air off the teacup with her mouth in front of Bai Ying, and took a sip.

So Bai Ying could only pick up the teacup obediently and muster up the courage to take a sip.

The taste is not as strange as expected, it even has a very strange fragrance.

But when he thinks that every sip of such a cup of "tea" is worth thousands of gold, Bai Ying always feels like he is drinking money...

However, looking around the entire small and dilapidated apartment, such an environment would have been considered poor even a few decades ago - Bai Ying once lived in a renovated relief shelter in Zhenhai City, which was dirtier than this room. Some and other facilities are even more comprehensive.

Suddenly, Douzi seemed to have forgotten something important, and almost burned himself when the teacup was brought to his mouth! Immediately afterwards, Bai Ying saw Douzi hurriedly stand up and bow his head to apologize to him, then immediately rushed to the refrigerator and took out a paper bag.

Douzi held the paper bag with both hands, closed the refrigerator door with his back, and then carried the paper bag to the kitchen counter.

Gudonggudong!

Several red fruits rolled out of the paper bag, and one of them almost fell to the ground, but luckily Bean caught it in time!

When the petite Douzi brought a plate of neatly cut fruits, Bai Ying immediately recognized this thing that looked exactly like the one in the textbook!

If Bai Ying remembers correctly, during the expansion period, apples were the first fruit to disappear from the public eye.

Later, humans still found ways to retain the seeds of natural apple trees, but these seeds could no longer adapt to the planet's environment, so people could only cultivate new varieties through artificial intervention.

It is a new type of fruit tree with an extremely short growth cycle that can be harvested twelve times a year and its output has increased more than ten times.

The apples produced by this fruit tree are free of worms, have firm flesh, and are full of juice. Apart from being only half a fist in size and having an unflattering black color, they are not much different from apples in other aspects.

Later, people also created a series of flavors such as "watermelon-flavored apple", "strawberry-flavored apple" and "grape-flavored apple" through genetic modification...

So much so that Bai Ying once thought that the new apple was the only type of fruit left in the world.

Later, she learned from history books that although most of the remaining fruits retained their seeds, they had failed in genetic modification and would only make ends meet when put into production. That's why humans kept using new apples to clone other fruits. the taste of.

And the plate of apples placed in front of Bai Ying was obviously not a new era variety!

"Is this...an apple?"

Bean nodded.

"Can you show me a complete one?" Bai Ying has not been so excited for a long time.

The obedient Douzi immediately stood up and took out another apple from the paper bag in the refrigerator. After cleaning it with water in the sink, he dried it with a paper towel and finally handed it to Bai Ying's hand.

"This is a real apple...a real apple!" Bai Xingying carefully looked at the red fruit in his hand as if he was holding some precious artwork.

Now Bai Ying just felt that Douzi was showing him a miracle!

If she can learn how to grow these plants from Douzi and get a few seeds, Black Sky's financial dilemma can be easily solved!
