A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 13: Neurotoxin
These cute little guys are usually only about the size of a palm and can be grasped with one hand. They feel good and relieve stress (I have not tried them, but I heard from friends).
Pseudo-flower essences represent the will of nature and are highly pure species. They are closely related to the local natural environment. Theoretically, as long as the environment does not deteriorate, they can always exist. Their longevity is the best among the felines. This pure-blood human expressed great envy.
Fake flower essences generally live in groups, but there are not too many in a group. In order to show their individuality, they often wear different styles and use leaves, vines, petals and other materials to form a variety of beautiful shape.
Although they have different personalities, in general, they are a kind and enthusiastic group. If you are lucky enough to meet them in the black forest, you can ask them to lead the way or ask them to help with some small favors. As long as they can help, they generally do not Will refuse.
If they like you, they will even prepare an exquisite banquet for you (don’t expect to be full at the fake flower essence banquet).
Don't worry about language barriers, these little guys are proficient in various languages not so much language, but telepathy.
Fake flower spirits generally feed on nectar. In return, they will be happy to help with pollination or perform some simple magic that is beneficial to the growth of flowers.
……
"These little guys can make flowers grow faster and better... Great, the greenhouse needs you!"
Although the construction of the greenhouse has not yet happened, it is better to prepare for a rainy day.
Hua Mi is determined to have a good relationship with them, so it’s not a big deal to contribute some honey to this end.
As the embodiment of natural will, these elves cannot like money, so they can only be paid with honey.
They feed on nectar, so it’s impossible for them to refuse honey.
……
This adventure guide helped Hua Mi deepen her understanding of the Black Forest. She learned about many monsters, some with high intelligence, some with low intelligence, some gentle and kind, and some evil and cruel.
The environment may be complicated, but no matter what, his goal will not change, which is to carry out his belief in farming and beekeeping in another world.
I watched less than half of it. Although I was not sleepy, my energy was really unsustainable and drained.
"We'll see the rest tomorrow."
Hua Mi lay in bed and stayed up until dawn, half asleep.
After breakfast, we went to another world to prepare as usual and moved the beehive outside.
Then the templates of Iron-clad Bee and X-Venom Bee were injected into one bee colony respectively.
For these two new bee species, which are more focused on combat, just expand a bee colony each first.
Anyway, the most he can do now is control a swarm of bees at the same time. Any more will be useless and a waste of mental energy.
After Hua Mi made arrangements here, he returned to Earth, took out the bottle of X-bee venom from the refrigerator, put five gold coins in his pocket, and ran to identify it.
The first stop is the town’s identification laboratory.
After all, it is a historical institution left over from the peak period of Huayu Town. Although it is of little use now, the instruments inside are still very fragrant.
It was originally used to identify the components of honey and plant juices. Now that the industry in Huayu Town has declined, it has become useless.
The laboratory is not big, just a small bungalow from the outside.
Hua Mi pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting inside was an old man in a white coat with gray hair and a square face that looked very resolute and cheerful.
People in the town usually call him Dr. Chen.
Not a local, he came to Huayu Town on his own initiative after retiring from university. It is said that he wanted to study the ecological changes in Huayu Town.
As a resident of Huayu Town, Hua Mi really doesn’t know whether she should feel honored or not.
It's like a disease has to be named after itself. Anyway, I feel quite complicated.
Hua Mi took out the reagent bottle: "Hello, Dr. Chen, I want to do a test."
Dr. Chen took the vial and put his eyes on it before he saw the drop of colorless and transparent liquid at the bottom of the bottle. He didn’t ask any questions. He may have thought it was some kind of plant juice or body fluid secreted by bees. After all, he was a beekeeper. What else can be analyzed besides these two.
Get up and walk towards the analytical instrument.
This kind of high-tech operation is quite complicated. Dr. Chen chatted with him while operating it.
"How is business lately?"
"Still the same."
"There are not many people in this town who are still persisting. Sometimes giving up is also an option. There is no need to force yourself when you can't hold on. You are still young and you have no time to switch to other fields."
"I am the kind of person who won't cry until I see the coffin."
Hua Mi said this half-jokingly, and Dr. Chen smiled and stopped talking, concentrating on analyzing the drop of venom.
After the results came out, Dr. Chen stared at the screen for a while, and his face suddenly became serious.
"Where did you get this?"
"A strange bug came into the house. I caught it out of curiosity. This is the liquid it secretes."
Hua Mi didn't dare to say that it was the venom secreted by bees. The old man in front of him was not easy to fool. If he was asked why the bees couldn't tell him, wouldn't it be revealing his secret?
As a result, Dr. Chen immediately said: "That insect is very dangerous and must be dealt with immediately."
Hua Mi hurriedly said: "It was already killed and flushed in the toilet. What's wrong, Dr. Chen, is this thing poisonous?"
Dr. Chen nodded: "It is a very powerful neurotoxin."
Hua Mi's heart trembled: "Is it fatal?"
"Lethal...that's not likely to happen." Dr. Chen looked at the sample and said, "At least this amount will not cause death, but it will cause extremely severe pain, which may be accompanied by spasms, allergies and even shock. , it depends on the individual’s constitution.”
"Extremely severe pain...how painful is that?"
"I'm afraid you won't understand if it's complicated. For example, have you heard of the bullet ant? The neurotoxin it secretes can make people feel the pain of being shot, hence the name. What you brought The composition of this sample is very similar to the venom of bullet ants, and the pain caused is even worse."
The pain equivalent to being hit by a bullet?
That's really awesome.

Very good, there is another way to save life.
"Since it can produce severe pain like being hit by a bullet, let's just call it...'Pain Bee', it's simple and easy to understand."
Dr. Chen seemed to want to ask about the source of this drop of venom. Hua Mi was afraid of revealing his secret, so he made a few perfunctory remarks and left the laboratory in a hurry.
The next stop is to go to a gold shop in the town and ask the boss to help identify the material of the five gold coins.
"These four must be gold."
The boss knew it as soon as he weighed it in his hand. Of course, in order to convince Hua Mi, he still put it on the gold purity tester.
"I'll go, Thousand Pure Gold!"
The boss whistled when he looked at the results of the instrument, and Hua Mi explained to him with a confused look on his face: "It is what we usually call 24K, which is currently the highest level of gold purity. The workmanship is also very detailed, it is simply art. Pin, where did you come from?”
"My grandfather left it to me. And this one?"
"This doesn't look like a serious gold coin at first glance. I can't tell you what material it is made of. It's strange. It doesn't look like any metal I've ever dealt with... You can take it to a professional institution for appraisal. Remember to tell me. Results."
Even a veteran in his field couldn't tell what the material of the dough sticks was, and most likely it was a specialty from another world.
Will it cause a sensation in the scientific community if it is tested by a professional institution?
It's better to be cautious.
While Hua Mi was pondering, the boss poked his arm: "Hey, do you want to sell these four gold coins? I can give you a good price."
"Not for sale."
Hua Mi put away the gold coins and answered simply.
This is the currency in circulation in another world. Maybe it will be used there at some point. It would be a loss to exchange it for banknotes.
