Chapter 350: Massacre in the Mechanical City (5)
In the next few days, Jasmine stayed by Hualei's side and devoted herself to the study of the power of the Flower of Life.
They found a large number of flowers and plants that were about to wither, collected materials from every corner of the sky garden, and put together precise experimental plans.
Although Jasmine knew very little about the power of fairies.
But her scientific methodology brought new ideas to Hualei.
They classified and organized the dying plants, recording the characteristics, life state and degree of decay of each plant.
Jasmine designed a series of controlled experiments to teach Hualei how to control variables, how to record experimental results, and how to extract useful information from failures.
The flower buds are responsible for exercising the power of the flower of life, trying to give these plants life after death.
At first, most of the attempts to plant buds ended in failure.
Some plants even wither faster when receiving the light of the Flower of Life;
Some will temporarily revive, but will soon decline again;
Others showed no reaction at all, as if they were immune to the power of the Flower of Life.
However, through Jasmine's rigorous recording and analysis, Hualei gradually discovered some patterns and began to be able to control the power of the Flower of Life more accurately.
Through repeated experiments and adjustments, the progress of the flower buds is visible to the naked eye.
Her success rate in bringing life to the dead grew higher and higher, and lasted longer and longer.
Initially, it could only revive the plants for a few minutes, but later it stretched to a few hours and then to a whole day.
Jasmine's methodology began to show great results.
At this moment, Jasmine was standing in a sunny greenhouse, concentrating on watching the buds control the flower of life.
This greenhouse is their laboratory, filled with plants of all sizes, from common herbs to rare flowers.
There is a label next to each plant, recording detailed data and experimental records.
Hualei stood in the center of the greenhouse, with the white flower of life suspended in her palm.
At this moment, she was no longer as nervous and uneasy as she was at the beginning, but instead was calm and confident.
Her eyes were focused and calm, her breathing was even and steady, and her whole body exuded a maturity and control that transcended her age.
The flower of life slowly rises under the control of the bud, emitting a soft and pure light.
The light flowed like liquid, covering a row of withered flowers.
These flowers had lost all their color and vitality, their petals were dry and curled, and their stems and leaves were drooping, as if only a thin layer of shell was left.
However, under the light of the Flower of Life, miracles began to happen.
The withered flowers seemed to be injected with new life, the petals gradually stretched out and restored their original bright colors.
The shriveled stems and leaves became full and strong again and stood upright again.
Even the stamens began to emit a faint fragrance again.
The whole process is so natural and harmonious, like watching a video of accelerated spring recovery.
What’s even more surprising is that this time, the flowers that regained life did not wither again quickly.
They remain in full bloom, as if they have forgotten the existence of death and returned to the most beautiful moments of life.
When Hualei saw this scene, a bright smile broke out on her face and the joy of victory flashed in her eyes.
She carefully put away the flower of life.
Then she turned to Jasmine with an expression of undisguised excitement and pride on her face.
"awesome!"
Hualei cheered, her voice filled with pure joy and accomplishment:
"I am now becoming more and more proficient in controlling the Flower of Life!"
"Look, the flowers have come back to life, and they last much longer than before!"
"Moli, I feel like if we try a few more times, Sister Haitang might be saved!"
Jasmine looked at this scene with a rare smile on her face and a look of relief and approval in her eyes.
Even though she didn't understand the power of the goblins.
But she could see the huge progress Bud had made in just a few days.
That scientific and systematic learning method is indeed much more effective than blind attempt.
“The progress is clear.”
Jasmine nodded, with appreciation in her tone:
"Your control and understanding have improved significantly since your initial attempt."
"Keep going, I believe you will soon be able to master all the secrets of the Flower of Life."
Just then, the greenhouse door was pushed open with a loud bang, interrupting their conversation.
Feiying rushed in breathlessly, carrying several large cages on her back, with an expression mixed with nervousness and excitement on her face.
Her hair was messy and her clothes were covered in dust and stains, and she had obviously just experienced a difficult adventure.
"Xiaolei, I found some more little guys that are about to die!"
Feiying said eagerly, with a kind of expectation of asking for credit and reward in her voice, as if she was a child waiting for praise:
"It wasn't easy this time. We were almost caught by the patrolling puppets!"
She carefully put down the cage, which contained several dying kittens. They were curled up together, their fur was dull, their breathing was weak, and they had almost no strength to move.
These little lives seem to have reached the end of their lives and may leave this world at any time.
In the past few days, Jasmine's main task is to help Hualei do various experiments, so that Hualei can become familiar with the authority of the Flower of Life better and faster.
She designed experimental plans, recorded data, analyzed results, and provided theoretical guidance and suggestions to Hua Lei.
This kind of work requires patience and carefulness, which just fits Jasmine's calm and rational personality.
Feiying's mission is simpler and more brutal, which is completely in line with her passionate and adventurous personality.
She is mainly responsible for the various errands she is best at, searching for various small lives that are suitable for performing the Death and Life technique.
This may sound simple, but in a special environment like the Mechanical City, this task is extremely difficult.
For the city of machinery.
Excluding the humans living inside, this place is basically full of mechanical life.
True organic organisms are extremely rare, and most are closely guarded as precious research objects or decorations.
In addition, Feiying is now marked as a puppet life carrying an unknown virus and is wanted. She risks being arrested every time she goes out.
Because of this, Feiying's errand task is extremely difficult.
Just from bringing back a few kittens, Feiying was already sweating and panting, looking exhausted.
But even so, her face still showed that pure enthusiasm and satisfaction.
Jasmine looked at Feiying like this and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Feiying."
Jasmine said softly, with a rare gentleness in her tone:
"You take a break. Xiaolei and I will take care of these kittens."
As she spoke, Jasmine carefully took the kittens out of the cage, gently placed them on a prepared cushion, and then placed them in front of Hualei.
These kittens are too weak.
It didn't even have the strength to utter a meow, and could only lie there quietly, waiting for its fate to take its course.
When Hualei saw these poor little lives, a trace of pity and determination flashed in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and adjusted herself.
Then she waved her hand, and the flower of life reappeared in her palm, emitting a warm and pure light.
The miracle of life is revealed at this moment.
Under the light of the Flower of Life, the kittens that were originally dying began to change.
Their dry fur gradually became thick and smooth, their dull eyes regained their luster, and their weak breathing became strong and powerful.
It was as if an invisible life force was injected into their bodies, pulling them back from the brink of death.
Soon, the kittens were fully revived and began to jump around, chase and play on the cushions, and meow happily.
Their eyes were bright and curious, full of desire to explore the world, and it was completely impossible to tell that they were on the brink of death just a few minutes ago.
Jasmine looked at the kittens who had recovered and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Different from her usual cold and rational expression, at this moment she revealed a rare softness and warmth.
She approached gently and picked up one of the orange kittens carefully, stroking its soft fur with her fingertips and observing its reaction and condition.
The kitten curled up comfortably in her arms, purring contentedly, obviously enjoying the feeling of being pampered.
Jasmine carefully checked the kitten's eyes, ears and limbs to make sure it had fully recovered.
"He looks very healthy again. He doesn't look sick at all."
There was a hint of imperceptible admiration and joy in Jasmine's voice:
"The next step is to observe and record the changes in their status."
"Xiaolei, remember to write a diary for today and record every detail and feeling during the spellcasting process. This is very important for subsequent adjustments and progress."
Her tone was strict and professional.
In Jasmine's opinion, only through strict recording and analysis can one truly understand the mystery of the power of the Flower of Life, rather than just relying on intuition and luck.
It turns out.
Her thoughts and opinions.
It does have a certain effect on the flower buds.
Hualei listened to Jasmine's suggestion and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, I will definitely record it all!"
Hualei responded cheerfully, her voice full of confidence:
"I will write down every attempt and every detail, without missing a single one."
“I’ve accumulated a lot of notes during this time, and they’ve helped me a lot.”
After saying that, Hualei followed Jasmine's example and gently picked up another pure white kitten.
Her movements were gentle and careful, for fear of hurting the little life that had just been rescued.
The kitten seemed unusually well-behaved in her arms, its big blue eyes full of trust and dependence, as if it knew that the girl in front of it had just saved its life.
Hualei held the kitten and began to stroke it frantically, sliding her fingers gently through its soft fur, scratching its chin, and touching its little head.
The kitten seemed to enjoy this kind of pampering. It squinted its eyes, purred comfortably, and was completely immersed in the happiness of being caressed.
When Feiying saw this scene, she was not willing to be outdone and prepared to step forward and pick up the remaining kitten.
She stretched out her hand, with anticipation and excitement on her face, like a child seeing a favorite toy.
"Come here, little one, let your sister hold you~"
Feiying said with a smile, her voice full of enthusiasm and anticipation.
However, the little kitten obviously didn't like Feiying.
It glanced at the approaching Feiying, its eyes full of vigilance and disgust, as if it was looking at a suspicious stranger.
When Feiying's hand approached it, it even arched its back slightly and made a low warning sound, expressing its dissatisfaction and protest.
