Chapter 282 Taoyao: I have one wish

Just as Taoyao and Zhongmo were whispering and communicating secretly, the sound of brisk footsteps was heard in the distance.

Hualei was trotting over with an empty flower pot in her arms. Her face was filled with a joyful smile and her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

Although the flowerpot is a bit old.

But it has a beautiful shape and is made of a translucent blue material with some delicate and mysterious geometric patterns engraved on the surface. It can still reflect a faint luster even in dim light.

Hualei held the flowerpot as if it were a precious treasure, carefully and with great pride. She ran and shouted happily:

"Sister! I found a very suitable vase! Look!"

There was undisguised excitement in her voice, and she even breathed rapidly, obviously because she was too excited that she forgot to control her breathing.

When she finally ran to Taoyao, she immediately stopped, held the flower pot to her chest, and waited expectantly for Taoyao's evaluation as if she was showing a work of art.

Tao Yao turned to face Hua Lei and lowered her head to carefully observe the flowerpot in her hands.

She stretched out her fingers and tapped the surface of the flowerpot gently, her movements gentle and precise, as if testing its material and structure.

“You have a very good aesthetic.”

Tao Yao nodded approvingly, with sincere appreciation in her voice:

"This material is called 'Starlight Porcelain' and is made from a special mix of minerals and synthetic materials, making it ideal for growing rare plants."

She pointed to the delicate patterns on the surface of the flower pot and continued to explain:

"And these patterns are not just decorations, they are actually a micro energy-guiding system that helps plants better absorb and use the energy around them."

Hearing Taoyao's praise, Hualei's face immediately blushed. She lowered her head a little embarrassedly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"No... I just picked it randomly..."

Hualei's voice became a little softer, with a hint of shyness, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed:

“The pot looks beautiful and is the perfect size for the twin flowers.”

"I also saw some special growing soil in the flower pot area that I can take back with me."

She raised her head, her eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of impatience, and changed the subject:

"Sister Qing, I found the flowerpot. Next, I want to go back and transplant the flower into the pot."

Taoyao nodded slightly after listening to Hualei's words.

"Well, we'll go with you."

Taoyao's voice was gentle but firm, and could not be rejected.

"There are still many dangers in this ruin. You will be safer with our escort."

"Also, I have some knowledge of plant cultivation, so I might be able to give you some advice during the transplant process."

When Hualei heard what the puppet sister said, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

Ever since coming to this strange and dangerous steel ruins.

She had been alone, walking carefully among the ruins, always on guard against any danger.

Now that she has met such a gentle sister, she will naturally not be stingy with her love.

But Hua Lei was still a little hesitant. She bit her lower lip, and a hint of hesitation and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

"But...will it delay you?"

There was obvious confusion in Hualei's voice.

"We just met... I've troubled you so much... I really don't know how to repay you."

There was a complex emotion in her eyes, a mixture of gratitude for the unexpected kindness of strangers and a certain guilt and uneasiness for being overly dependent on others.

Travel to the world of fairies.

She felt everything around her was both familiar and strange.

Even though she knew the game well, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But the two puppet sisters in front of her gave her such a different feeling that she couldn't help but want to rely on them.

When Taoyao heard what Hualei said, the expression on her face became softer.

She slowly reached out her hand and gently placed it on Hualei's shoulder.

"It's ok."

Tao Yao's voice was gentle and full of understanding. "We help you because I also hope that you can help us. It is rare to meet a living person like you in this iron ruin. What's even rarer is that you have a special temperament, which is different from most mechanical creatures here."

When Hualei heard what Taoyao said, her eyes lit up instantly.

Here comes the mission!

She thought excitedly in her heart.

Isn't this a typical game plot development?

Complete a simple task first, then get the recognition of the NPC, and then you can receive the more important main task!

"Just ask me if you need me to do anything, dear sister!"

Hualei's voice was full of enthusiasm, "As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help!"

Her expression became serious and determined, completely unlike the timid girl who was afraid of the mechanical guards just now.

This sudden change made Zhongmo narrow his eyes, as if he was re-evaluating the value and potential of this little human girl.

Tao Yao looked at Hua Lei's eager reaction and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She shook her head, with a hint of teasing and patience in her voice:

"Don't worry, little girl."

Tao Yao said softly:

"Finish what you want to do first. After you finish your part, it's our turn."

Tao Yao didn't say anything directly.

However, Hualei was secretly delighted.

This feeling is so familiar!

Just like playing a game, complete a mission and then unlock the next one.

This is how the main storyline progresses step by step.

First settle the twin flowers, and then the puppet sister will give her the next task.

This clear sense of purpose made her feel like she was playing a game.

"Okay, sister! Let's go back quickly!"

Hualei excitedly hugged the flowerpot in her hands, with an expectant smile on her face.

Taoyao has now said it so directly, so Hualei naturally cannot refuse this implied invitation.

Then, Hualei and the two puppet sisters left the flower shop and returned to the ruins where the twin flowers were found before.

Along the way, Taoyao always stood by Hualei's side, protecting this fragile human girl.

Hualei held the precious flowerpot and walked forward carefully, fearing that she would accidentally damage the treasure.

After returning to the ruins, Hualei immediately started the transplant work.

She first carefully checked the condition of the black and white twin flower to make sure it was still healthy.

Then she carefully began to dig into the surrounding soil, trying to keep the root system intact.

"Slow down, even slower..."

Hualei muttered to herself, her hands moving extremely gently, as if she was handling a fragile piece of art.

Her brows were slightly furrowed due to concentration, and even some fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Tao Yao stood aside, quietly observing every movement of the flower bud.

When Hualei successfully dug the black and white twin flowers out of the abandoned soil and was about to transplant them into new pots, Taoyao finally spoke.

"The flowers that can grow on this abandoned land represent the miracle of life."

"Even if it will eventually breed fairies whose good and evil are unclear, your kindness should have an impact on the fairies and make them good fairies."

Hua Lei's hand paused for a moment, and she looked up at Tao Yao, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

She didn't expect Tao Yao to suddenly mention fairies, and there seemed to be some special understanding and insight in her tone.

"Does Sister Qing know a lot about fairies?"

Hualei asked carefully, while continuing the transplant work, gently placing the twin flowers into the new pot, and then began to fill it with special cultivation soil:

"After all, to humans, fairies have always been described as mysterious and dangerous beings."

"Aren't you worried, sister?"

She deliberately concealed her knowledge of the game "Fairy Journey" to see what kind of information this puppet sister would reveal.

When Taoyao heard Hualei's question, a deep light flashed in her eyes.

She seemed to be thinking about how to answer this seemingly simple yet profound question.

After a while, she slowly spoke, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in her voice.

"I do have some special understanding of fairies."

Tao Yao's voice was calm and deep. "To humans, goblins are full of evil. They disrupt order and bring disaster."

She looked into the distance, as if she could see the world beyond the ruins:

"But for mechanical life, fairies also give machines souls."

"After all, the former master of all machines in this land was a special fairy that evolved from the self-creation of machines."

"The machine gave birth to a new fairy, and the fairy also brought glory to the machine. They rely on each other and achieve each other."

Tao Yao paused for a moment, as if recalling some distant memory:

"Goblins may bring bad consequences, but it is undeniable that the power of some goblins can also bring happiness and beauty."

"It's like two sides of the same coin. It depends on how the holder uses this power."

Hua Lei couldn't help but slow down her hand movements as she listened to Tao Yao's explanation.

She understood it all at once, and more new guesses emerged in her mind.

at the same time.

She was also more convinced that her previous thoughts were correct.

This puppet sister is definitely not an ordinary mechanical puppet!

After all, the puppet sister's attitude towards fairies is somewhat different from that of the human natives of this world.

She had clearly recognized the unusualness of the black and white twins, but she did not directly show hostility towards them. Instead, she provided them with protection and help.

This shows that the so-called Lord of All Machines should also be a very important and special fairy in the game.

"It seems that my idea is right. As long as I follow this puppet sister and get closer to her, I will definitely be able to participate in the plot of this game later!"

"Maybe I can influence the direction of the game's plot by then!"

"And if that's the case, then this unexpected time travel of mine won't be in vain!"

With this in mind, Hualei filled the flowerpot with the last piece of soil and patted it down gently to make sure the soil was neither too loose nor overly stressful on the roots.

When she was done, she carefully poured in a little water to make the soil evenly moist.

The black and white twin flowers look particularly energetic in the new pot. They are just the right size, neither crowded nor empty.

What’s strange is that the flower seems to be very happy with its new home. Its black and white petals glow softly in the dim light, as if expressing its joy.

The complex patterns also became clearer, like a mysterious pattern, telling a story that only it knows.

The flower buds gently caress the petals, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy arises in my heart.
