Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 73: Crystal Grass

Seeing Elijah speechless, Fiona continued, "Not far from the east side of the hotel, we've built a greenhouse flower room. Firstly, it's for cultivating some fresh flowers for our beloved guests, and they can also be transplanted to other areas on the island. At the same time, we've planted some green organic vegetables and fruits inside, reassuring our guests that they can enjoy them!"

"Ah, I see. Katherine can manage these from now on, and we'll have fresh vegetables to eat," Elijah responded.

"Exactly!"

In fact, someone else was responsible for the planting and management, but they had already died and turned into a corpse.

But Katherine was somewhat related to planting, so it should be fine!

Fiona nodded to herself.

She had worked hard to increase their assets, just like Grace, who mainly dealt with electricity maintenance.

But there were manuals and such for everything; learning and adapting was quite similar... right?

Anyway, there was some communication with former colleagues, so she knew at least a bit.

It was definitely better than letting Elijah and the others manage, as they didn't understand anything!

These thoughts only briefly crossed Fiona's mind before she returned to the matter she was initially pondering.

After hesitating for a moment, she eventually spoke up.

"Actually, this morning when Katherine went to pick vegetables, she saw a plant in the flower room that resembled the one you showed me yesterday... the one that can glow."

"What?" Elijah suddenly sat up straight. "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure! I went to see it myself. It's indeed a glowing plant, and there seemed to be fireflies around it," Fiona described its appearance roughly, making Elijah's heart race with excitement.

He had seen that plant before! And it had cost him his life! Crystal Grass!

Elijah couldn't wait; he grabbed Fiona's smooth hand and was about to go.

"Take me to see it!"

"Wait, what about the others?" Fiona stumbled as she was pulled, looking at him reproachfully.

But in her mind, she thought that the plant seemed important.

At least more important than the one that could awaken abilities!

She considered hiding it from Elijah, but she didn't know its purpose or how to use it.

She feared consuming it recklessly might lead to serious consequences.

It was better to tell Elijah.

If this plant could awaken abilities, considering they already had one, it wouldn't be right to keep it to themselves.

And if it was as valuable as the current situation suggested, Elijah would owe them compensation...

Fiona was confident in her ability to judge people; she believed Elijah wasn't short-sighted.

So she took a gamble!

At the very least, they would still have one plant that could awaken abilities!

"Yes! What about the others?"

Elijah realized he was too impatient.

He turned to the other women and said, "Ladies, let's go. Let's move on to the next place."

"What place?" Daisy came running barefoot.

"Fiona said there are six more villas nearby. Further west, there's a sunny flower room with many flowers and vegetables. Let's go see the flower room first, then pick one of the villas to move into!"

"A flower room? Count me in!" Daisy exclaimed eagerly.

The group got back into the car, and Fiona led them straight to the flower room. Passing by several villas on the way, Elijah noticed they weren't far from the beach.

He made up his mind to choose one of these villas; that way, they could easily see the beautiful women playing on the beach in their swimsuits.

Soon, under Fiona's driving, they arrived at a tall glass structure.

The flower room was entirely made of glass, about four meters high, a hundred meters long, and twenty to thirty meters wide, making it quite spacious.

Inside, various beautiful plants were clustered together, competing for fragrance and beauty.

In addition to that, there was a large area of vegetables and fruits, some grown in soil, and some looked very advanced, being grown without soil, hanging in the air.

As soon as the women entered, they were dazzled by the flowers.

Meanwhile, Elijah pulled Fiona along, asking her to lead the way to the plant resembling Crystal Grass.

After walking a few steps, Elijah's attention was immediately drawn to a small plant no bigger than a palm.

Its leaves were tiny, not even as big as a thumbnail, but fleshy and succulent, resembling a succulent plant.

Its translucent emerald green color gave it the appearance of fine jade.

Though its leaves were small, they were numerous, with many branches sprouting from its small body, resembling a blooming hydrangea flower, delicate and exquisite. -exclusive-content

Around these leaves, a layer of faint light wandered, visible even during the day, as if emitting fireflies and attracting some invisible energy.

"Indeed, it's Crystal Grass..."

Elijah forcibly suppressed his excitement.

"It's still in its seedling stage, with only one aperture!"

Elijah approached for a closer look. In the lush foliage, he noticed a small aperture at the center.

It was said that mature Crystal Grass had seven apertures at the center, resembling the seeds of a lotus flower, hence its other name, Seven-Aperture Crystal Grass!

When consumed by a second-tier ability user, there's a chance to advance to the third tier.

Even if it's immature Crystal Grass with more than four apertures, consuming it as a first-tier ability user almost guarantees advancement to the second tier, unlike mature zombie grass, which still carries a risk of failure.

"Wow! Another new spirit plant!"

Daisy exclaimed, attracting the other women to gather around and observe.

"Is this what they call spirit plants?"

Charlotte had only heard of them before, and today was her first time seeing one, her face showing a look of confirmation.

"Is this plant called spirit plants?"

As the discoverer, Katherine only knew its characteristics and didn't know its specific name or function.

It was only after Fiona's rough description that she coincidentally found a match.

Now that it's confirmed, she was curious about its actual function. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Yes, this grass is exquisite and delicate. Let's just call it Crystal Grass!"

Elijah made the final decision.

"Bella, go find a flowerpot!"

"Alright!" Bella understood what Elijah intended to do.

She found an empty flowerpot nearby and discreetly buried a corpse core in it while no one was paying attention.

Elijah had given her these corpse cores because her ability could prevent zombie grass from being accidentally damaged or killed.

After burying it in some soil, Bella brought the flowerpot over.

By now, Elijah had begun to dig up the Crystal Grass.

Using a dagger, he dug out a portion of the soil around the Crystal Grass and placed it in the pot Bella brought.

"Alright, Bella, hold onto this Crystal Grass for now, and be sure not to let it die!" Elijah's expression was solemn as he instructed.

Bella nodded. "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on it!"

Elijah then turned to Fiona.

"Thank you for providing this Crystal Grass. I won't take it for nothing; I'll give you another one later!"

Fiona's face lit up with joy.
