Chapter 74 Black Buds
Emenas, black water lily activity room.
Lily sat on the sofa next to her, flipping through the paintings, putting down her books from time to time, and eating some snacks on the coffee table.
"Well, it's so boring." She leaned back on the backrest and said with open arms.
As a salted fish with self-awareness, Lily doesn't have many pursuits. Usually, her grades are generally moderate. She estimates that she can only be promoted to the fourth grade at most, and then graduate.
No matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with those geniuses. Lorraine, Bumantha, Yeling, and Wemiya, none of them are simple. It is Niya who is similar to her, but now Niya is in Bridge Pier Academy, and she works very hard, she can't learn that kind of perseverance.
The Cang Cui Empire places great importance on family blood, and she is not a genius, no matter how hard she works, she doesn't want to live so hard all her life.
In the future, I will marry a good family, raise fish, grow flowers, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.
After sighing, Lily put the book down from her forehead, turned her neck, and looked to the other side, where Hongfan was playing chess with Kuye.
Since the end of last year, this activity room has gradually become lively. The addition of Hongfan, Kuye, Ling, Igley and other members of the club has made Black Water Lily, a small club of three to five members, rapidly expanding.
"Just help me if you're bored." Bumantha walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a plate of freshly prepared snacks in her hand. This was a hobby she never gave up.
I often cook more, and I can't finish it myself, so I often cheapen other members of these societies.
But in this way, everyone is gradually familiar with it. Since Loren Hill left, Bumantha has also become the acting president, handling some affairs of the society.
"Wuwu, I don't want to move. Although I'm bored, I still don't want to work." Lily made a high-spirited voice.
"If you look like this, if the Eidolon is here, it will definitely laugh at you." Bumantha came over, put away the books on the sofa, and put a snack into Lily's mouth.
"I almost slapped her...." she replied, eating snacks.
The activity room door was pushed open, and two girls walked in with flower pots.
"Good afternoon, Bumantha, Lily, and everyone."
Igley put the flower pot in the corner, stood up and said hello. Ling followed behind and put down another flower pot, but this one was special. There was clear water in the white porcelain flower pot, and a circular green color was floating in it. blade.
"What is this?" Lily trotted over like a smart kitten.
"This is what we cultivated recently. You also know that I used to be the president of Nectar Bud. Although Nectar Bud is now under the black water lily, most of the previous members are still there, so we have been studying something recently. It's got some results.”
"These are two potted plants that we have carefully cultivated, one is a black-red rose and the other is a black-purple water lily."
"Hey, isn't this the same as our club name?" Lily squatted in the corner, looked at the two potted plants in front of her, and made a surprised voice.
"Yes, it was originally intended to explore in this direction." Igley walked into the middle of the activity room and sat in front of Bumansa.
"What does the vice president think, do you want to promote it, giggle."
Bumantha poured tea into the cup in front of her, one for Igley and one for herself.
"Wait a few more days to see what these two plants look like in bloom." She picked up the teacup, blew the heat, and took a sip.
"It's a pity that Lorraine is not here. She also likes flowers and plants, and sometimes she will tell me some little knowledge about planting."
"President Loren also understands this? I can't see it at all." In the hearts of Igley and others, Loren is probably the kind of noble and elegant young lady who doesn't touch the spring water.
"Aha, in fact, Lorraine is very easy to get along with. She used to make delicious food for us in the dormitory. The style and taste are very special. Everyone likes it." life in.
Before you know it, most of the college life has passed, and now they are also in the third grade. In two years, I will graduate and leave.
"Can President Loren still cook? I can't imagine it at all." The elf girl Atati came out of the lounge in the back room and said as she walked, tying her hair with a light green hair band.
"Although I'm an elf, I don't know anything about cooking. It's most convenient to eat fruit directly." She said so, sitting on the sofa and picking up a yellow apple.
"Ling, do you want to eat? These apples are said to have just been transported by water from Crancia. They are very fresh." She looked at the girl opposite.
The winged girl shook her head, turned her hand to pick up the dessert on the coffee table, and nibbled at it. This girl with two wings on her back, although she is extremely cold and harsh on the field, is quiet and quiet in life.
In the activity room, a few people were playing chess, chatting, and eating fruit snacks. Lily squatted in the corner and touched the flower bud that was about to bloom.
The deep black petals make this rose full of charm before it blooms. The burgundy color on the edge makes the petals distinct. The buds hang down from the branches and leaves, and a few small light green leaves emerge from the roots of the buds. A few thorns are separated on the stem, preventing others from touching it at will.
The fingertips lightly stroked the flower bud, feeling the cascading touch of the petals.
"It's not open yet, this flower." Lily murmured.

Crancia, Solander.
In the next half month, Roland Hill and everyone agreed on the details of the five-year plan, and then worked out a detailed manual and started printing.
Sheets of pale yellow paper stained with a faint scent of ink were compacted by heavy steel, then threaded, sealed with glue, and stacked in the warehouse.
From a small pile at the beginning, to a box of boxes, and finally to the entire warehouse, millions of copies are like a hill, gradually reaching the dome of the warehouse.
A young girl in a black and blue robe walked in, and under the guidance of several staff members, she took out the book and opened it.
"His Royal Highness Roland Hill, with the full operation of nearly 10 printing plants in the capital, 30% of the first batch of promotional materials has been completed. Due to the current shortage of paper, it takes time to dry, and the next batch will have to wait for next month. ."
"Well, I see."
After flipping through the illustrated brochure in his hand, Loren Hill put it back in the stack of books and turned to look to the other side.
"How about the printing of other textbooks, the first batch of technicians will start teaching soon."
The first batch of projects such as steelmaking, cement, etc. will require a large number of technical personnel. During this period, Loren Hill will temporarily serve as a mentor and teach the first batch of students, so as to spread, they will also become the backbone of technology in the future. , leading construction projects around the world.
"These materials have been completely printed." The staff straightened their back proudly.
"Very well, then let's get started, the first spark of the industrial age."
The girl turned over a new page in history.
