A Beekeeper in a Magical World

Chapter 150: Rave Reviews - (2)

The messages continued, showcasing the myriad benefits of the honey.

"Ah, I was slow to join the circle, and when I finally did, it was already sold out. Now seeing you guys flaunt it, it's uncomfortable."

"I was thinking of waiting and buying... turns out waiting was foolish."

The comments were unanimously positive! Regarding the much-discussed issue of a comeback:

While the third batch of Graceful Honey was almost ready for harvesting, and there was still plenty of stock on hand, he wouldn't immediately put it up for sale.

The plan was to wait until the Wind Chime Flower Honey was harvested before putting them up together.

Selling once every month or so would be sufficient.

Apart from the public information, he received a special private message.

It was from "Muyu Xiaoxiao."

The other party started with a heartwarming emoji.

Seems like she's moved past the thought of self-harm.

This was completely within his expectations.

He was well aware of the effects of the Mirage Flower Honey.

"Boss, I've completely come to terms with it."

"Whether my life is happy or not is under my control and has nothing to do with others."

"To get so worked up over that thing before was really stupid."

"I'm going to walk at my own pace and explore a broader world."

Muyu Xiaoxiao sent consecutive messages, clearly in good spirits.

But she also expressed her curiosity: "I'm really curious, how is this honey made? Are there any healing ingredients added?"

"It's magic, I added magic."

Hua Mi silently responded in his mind and typed, "Sweets can uplift one's mood, possessing the power to heal the heart."

"Is that so?"

While Muyu Xiaoxiao was not very old, she wasn't going to be easily fooled by such words. "The effect seems too good, it really was immediate. The moment I consumed it, it felt like a beam of light shining on my heart, making me want to open up and embrace the sunshine. Thinking back to the change in my state at that time still feels incredible."

"Not bad rhetoric."

It vividly described the feeling after taking the Mirage Flower Honey.

"Boss, are you really an incarnation of a deity in the mortal world?" Muyu Xiaoxiao, in her adolescence, couldn't contain her imaginative thoughts. "People in the circle are saying these honeys are miracles manifested by you."

"Don't deify the effect of the honey," Hua Mi said, "The 'beam of light' you felt is actually a power you already had, just hidden deep inside. The honey's effect merely coaxed it out. I hope that in the future, you can discover and utilize that light's energy without relying on the honey. By then, you'll understand."

"Wow, that's profound. Can't get it ()?"

"It's okay if you don't get it now. You'll understand when you're older."

"Okay."

Hua Mi found his own words somewhat cringe-worthy upon reflection.

What was with this sudden elder-like tone?

"At her age, she might call me 'brother' at most. After spending so much time with the Seven Littles, I better not start thinking of myself as a 'grandpa'," Hua Mi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

However, the positive feedback from circle friends strengthened his resolve to continue selling honey on Earth.

Upon careful consideration, this was essentially transporting magical elements from another world to Earth bit by bit.

Although the progress seemed slow for now, accumulation would lead to a qualitative change.

To a certain extent, the fusion of magic and Earth might bring about wondrous reactions.

He had worried about this before.

But as he gained more experience in the other world, his thinking had undergone some changes.

There was no need to be so overly cautious.

Just like technology, magic was also a double-edged sword. He couldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Additionally, he couldn't predict the future.

All he knew was what he was doing at the moment, whether providing magic honey or using magical power to address environmental issues, both were good for the common people and beneficial for Earth's development.

That was enough.

...

With the arrival of building materials, Hua Mi started expanding the greenhouse.

This time, he planned five sections.

One section was dedicated to Wind Chime Flowers, covering around ten acres.

There were only five Abyssal Trees planted, considering the optimal spacing; they required only a small area of land, currently the smallest field.

The other three sections, each around ten acres, were for planting Feather Dress Flowers and Dreaming Moon Flowers.

These two honeys had quite a demand in the circle; it was time for a comeback.

One section was left as a reserve.

Wind Chime Flowers would take just over ten days to yield honey.

However, the growth cycle of Abyssal Trees was longer.

Even with continuous magical catalysis, it might take several months for them to bloomunless there was a more effective, more magical method.

...

A few days later, the third batch of Graceful Honey was harvested.

The inventory increased by nearly 500 bottles.

However, as planned earlier, they wouldn't be put up for sale temporarily, waiting for the Wind Chime Flower Honey production.

That would probably take another ten days or so.

Moreover, during this batch's Graceful Honey harvest, luck favored them; a byproduct appeared, the Strength Pill.

This had occurred once before, formed by Strong Bees and Graceful Flowers.

Following the same process, after taking the Strength Pill, Hua Mi entered a meditative state.

His body's muscles felt as though they underwent intense refinement by fire. By the time the effects of the Strength Pill completely faded, his strength had increased by a level. Lifting a 50-kilogram barbell with one hand was effortless; he could practically dominate the gym now.

Externally, there wasn't much change in his muscles; the growth wasn't significant. However, the hardness had noticeably increased; his chest and abdominal muscles felt as firm and resilient as activated wood.

...

That day, Hua Mi was reading in the wooden house.

Outside, there was a continuous banging sound, courtesy of Big Bear's construction work.

Speaking of efficiency, Big Bear was truly remarkable. When working, he was as efficient as ten peopleof course, he also ate several times more than an ordinary person.

However, food and such were in unlimited supply. With enough savings now, he could say the entire Earth was his resource reserve.

Big Bear's diligent and conscientious nature made him, as the contractor, feel very reassured.

He could concentrate more on reading.

The book Hua Mi was currently reading was the alchemical formula found in the Misty Mountain Range.

Though he lacked a mana bar and couldn't learn alchemy, memorizing the formula was a safer bet.

Knowledge was a form of power; what he remembered was his, and in that aspect, his own brain was the most reliable.

This way, even if the notebook were lost or destroyed, there would be no loss.

Furthermore, if he intended to establish himself as an alchemy master, he couldn't afford to pull out his notes every time someone mentioned a certain alchemical creation; that would undervalue his image.

In the evening, Hua Mi finished reading.

He replenished his mental strength by consuming a Graceful Honey Pill and then took out the meditation sphere.
