"Did they really burn an entire acre of land?"
No, something was wrong. Inquilinar quickly discovered the issue: an acre of magical plants?
As the name suggests, magical plants are either precious materials or ingredients used in Alchemy and Magic Potions. They could also be certain plants imbued with magical properties that have various effects. However, generally speaking, magical plants are measured by individual specimens. When did magical plants start being measured by the acre?
Surely, the Wood Magic sisters aren't trying to deceive us for points, are they?
Noticing the skepticism in Inquilinar's eyes, Daphne nearly unleashed a Wood Magic spell but held back at the last moment. It was Xu Lie who first researched Magical Rice. He entrusted it to us sisters to cultivate and mass-produce.
Do you understand how extraordinary this magical plant is? Its yield reaches an astonishing ten thousand pounds per acre! If this were to be promoted widely, it could ensure that no one in the world would ever go hungry again!
Do you get it? We can end hunger!
Inquilinar and Beric, along with the two Potion Masters nearby, were left speechless, their jaws dropping.
The viewers watching were equally captivated by this plant.
"Is Episode Four really this explosive? I thought it was just about daily school construction. At first, Xu Lie was publishing books, and the wizards were achieving small results for half an hour, but then this huge revelation came at the end?"
"Well, it's magic. Just think about it—wizards can turn a Pumpkin into a carriage that big; isn't an acre yielding ten thousand pounds more acceptable?"
"Listening to Brother Danmaku earlier, it seems like ten thousand pounds per acre is still a bit lacking compared to turning a Pumpkin into a carriage; both weights would exceed that by far."
"Unbelievable! While turning a Pumpkin into a carriage can't be promoted, this certainly can!"
The audience was undoubtedly excited about the prospect of food security, their discussions drifting into lofty ideas.
Just having left the village, Beric felt like he was in the presence of such a noble crop. Coming from a small village himself, he couldn't say he had enough to eat every day—that would be unrealistic. Most days he had only two meals of thin porridge and often went to bed hungry. Only during grand festivals could he occasionally fill his stomach.
After apprenticing under Inquilinar, things gradually started to improve. He was the most painfully aware of how difficult it was to go hungry. If that Magical Rice could truly yield tens of thousands of grains per mu, wouldn’t he be a sinner? The people around the world who were still starving would surely kill him.
In that moment, he deeply realized his mistake! The regret and pain on his face somewhat alleviated the anger of the Daphne Sisters, but they still couldn’t help but grumble a bit.
For us magicians, it wasn’t a problem; with just a simple enlargement spell, we could magnify an ordinary grain of rice enough to fill our stomachs. However, applying the Magical Rice was different; we couldn’t sow it and benefit the masses. It was Xu Lie who first figured out how to propagate the Magical Rice—how could we not cherish that?
Not making you pay points was already quite generous. Inquilinar went off to find Reiner, borrowed some money, and managed to gather two points to come and apologize. Reiner even mentioned this incident to Xu Lie as a casual topic of conversation.
Xu Lie provided an explanation: after all, students had to leave home for school; we should ensure their families felt at ease. When the time came for the teacher to bring the Magical Rice and demonstrate a yield of ten thousand pounds per mu, the parents would surely trust us.
Though it was said this way, it was merely part of Xu Lie’s plan to establish a Logistics Base. Looking ahead aside, let’s consider the past. If at that time in the world of Cang Hai Jue, Xu Lie had managed to produce such rice, people around him might have rushed to offer warm clothing and golden robes for the Second Prince as winter approached.
