A Beekeeper in a Magical World - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Rave Reviews

The next day arrived.

Two measurement bees finished their transformation.

Hua Mi controlled these two new swarms of bees, intending to practice with them first.

Their target: a rock.

The bees swarmed, densely covering the surface of the stone.

As the measurement magic field opened, the information about the target immediately appeared in Hua Mi's mind.

"It's a common mineral, moderate hardness, suitable for making stone tools. Valuation: junk."

Then, he took out a bottle of Thousand Illusions Flower Honey.

Controlling a group of measurement bees to attach to the bottle.

"A 500ml bottle of Thousand Illusions Flower Honey. Brewed from the nectar of Thousand Illusions Flowers by bees. It tastes sweet and refreshing, with an uplifting effect. Valuation: high."

From this, two conclusions could be drawn.

First, the received information was related to his own thoughts and memories.

Second, the measurement target depended on his own will. For instance, just now, he wanted to measure the honey, not the bottle.

With this new type of bee, exploring outside would be much more convenient.

Although due to incomplete characteristics, there were bound to be objects that the swarms couldn’t analyze.

But he was already quite satisfied.

---

The snow stopped today.

Hua Mi started preparing to build a shelter for Lu Fei.

He planned to build it next to the small wooden house, the two structures nearly touching with only a narrow alleyway in between.

He searched for a stable design online, intending to follow the blueprint.

It didn't need to be too complicated in structure or too large, just a single room for Lu Fei.

First, collect materials, mainly wood.

The trees in the Black Forest were hard in texture and mostly grew straight, perfect for processing into building materials.

And now, his control over section-cutting bees was impeccable, so cutting wood was no longer an issue.

Next, he planned to practice wood carving using the section-cutting bees... it felt like it would be quite challenging.

While controlling the section-cutting bees to cut wood, a sturdy figure appeared in his field of vision, approaching him briskly.

It was "Big Bear."

On the night of the full moon, this lycanthrope lost control and came to the greenhouse, but Hua Mi "converted" him with a bottle of Thousand Illusions Flower Honey.

"Big Bear" wasn't his real name; his actual name was too long to remember.

He strode directly towards Hua Mi and said straightforwardly, "Let me handle the construction."

Hua Mi found it odd, wondering how did he know I was planning to build a house?

After an explanation, Hua Mi understood.

Turned out, today, Big Bear met Xiao Zi outside and casually inquired about Hua Mi's situation. Learning that Hua Mi was preparing to build a house, Big Bear came specifically to help.

"I promised not to take your honey for free. So, let me handle this small matter."

Big Bear mentioned having previous experience in house construction, ensuring there wouldn't be any issues.

His sincere words and his muscular build seemed genuinely suitable for the job.

Hua Mi didn't hesitate further, gladly agreeing. Considering his experience, he simply set aside the blueprint he found online, allowing Big Bear to freely execute his skills.

Thus, Big Bear became a short-term worker here.

Although Big Bear declined payment, Hua Mi didn't treat him unfairly.

Earth's delicacies were supplied uninterrupted, with honey served every meal.

Big Bear seemed to enjoy his time here immensely.

This way, Hua Mi could focus on more meaningful tasks.

Don't assume he's usually relaxed; he's got plenty to do.

Such as tending to the flower field and bee swarms, practicing bee control, enhancing mental strength, studying this world through books, learning foreign languages, managing affairs from Earth, running the "Bee Whisperer's Cottage"...

Each task was crucial and couldn't be interrupted.

Back on Earth.

In less than a week, all the honey from the first batch of the "Bee Whisperer's Cottage" was sold out.

The Micro Chat group had grown to over seven hundred members.

Discussions became livelier, often continuing into the late hours.

Apart from the enthusiastic chatter, some engaged in serious discussions about honey and bee knowledge.

Of course, the most talked-about were the two newly launched honey varieties.

Hua Mi glanced through and found an overwhelming number of positive reviews.

One user named "Master Chef San" shared a photo of his championship trophy from a cooking contest and a picture of a mouthwatering dish.

"This is a traditional dish from my family, called 'Seven Delicacies.' Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away suddenly before passing down the recipe, leaving behind only a partially damaged cookbook.

"I wanted to recreate this dish during the cooking contest but struggled due to the complexity, especially without the complete recipe.

"Just when I was about to give up, the boss appeared with his honey again.

"Let me share my experience. First of all, this Gifted Flower Honey not only boosts mental capacity but also significantly enhances my perception of ingredients. I can even sense the fusion level between condiments and ingredients and imagine the final taste... Thanks to this honey, I quickly reconstructed the recipe for Seven Delicacies, winning the cooking contest championship. I'm here to share the good news.

"Lastly, I have a message for the boss: Boss, you're my savior!"

This lengthy message naturally caught Hua Mi's attention.

After reading it, a smile couldn't help but spread across his face.

That's how fans are born, huh?

But the mention by the chef about the Gifted Flower Honey enhancing his perception of ingredients... That was somewhat unexpected.

Who would've thought this honey had benefits for cooking too?

Actually, considering the effects of the Gifted Flower Honey, having such an impact wasn't that surprising. He had merely been focusing on alchemy before and hadn't considered this aspect.

In a way, cooking and alchemy did share some similarities. Both involved combining various elements to achieve a final product, where quantity, order, timing, and heat were crucial.

The only difference was cooking didn't require magic.

Fellow group members congratulated the chef for his win.

Following that, another member named "Mendeleev's Hydrogen" echoed the chef's statement:

"I'm a professional inorganic chemist. Recently, I struggled through an experiment, failing no less than fifty times.

"This honey improved my precision in experiments. It's as if I can visualize the reactions between substances. Finally, I successfully obtained the target crystal."

The attached image showed a test tube filled with an unknown liquid, in which a transparent crystal was soaking.

Numerous other members shared their achievements as well.

"This honey significantly boosted my brainpower! Thanks to it, I aced my first-ever perfect score in life!"

"Eternal Bliss Honey makes it a breeze to churn out thousands of words daily."

"It's making it so much easier for me to focus at work and not slack off!"

"But it's a pity I could only grab one bottle. Boss, when will this honey be back in stock?"

"Ah, I was slow to join the circle; by the time I did, it was already sold out. Now seeing you all flaunt it makes me feel left out."

"I thought I'd wait and observe before buying... Turns out, waiting was just foolish of me."

Hua Mi's lips curled into a delighted smile as he savored the impact of this honey on mental acuity.

The reviews were unanimously positive!

Regarding the highly anticipated restock:

While the third batch of Eternal Bliss Honey would soon be ready for harvest and there was still plenty in stock, it wouldn't be immediately restocked for sale.

The plan was to wait until the Windchime Flower Honey was harvested before restocking everything together.

Selling once every month or two would suffice.

Besides the public announcement, Hua Mi received a particular private message.

It was from "Drizzle Rain."

The sender started with a heartwarming emoji.

Judging by this, it seemed like she had shaken off thoughts of self-harm.

This was completely within his expectations.

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

"Boss, I've truly come to terms with everything."

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

"Thinking otherwise over such trivial matters before was just foolish."

"I intend to pace through life at my own rhythm, to explore a wider world."

Drizzle Rain sent a string of messages, indicating she was in good spirits.

However, she also expressed her curiosity, "I'm really curious, how does this honey work? Does it contain any healing components?"

"It's magic, I added magic to it."

Hua Mi silently responded in his mind, typing, "Sweet treats can uplift one's mood, possessing the power to heal the heart."

"Is that so?"

Though Drizzle Rain was young, she wasn't easily fooled by such explanations, "The effect feels far too profound. It's truly immediate. The moment I consumed it, it felt as though a beam of light shone upon my heart, prompting me to open up and embrace positivity. Reflecting on that transition, it still feels incredible."

"Nice way with words."

She vividly described the feeling post-Mirage Flower Honey consumption.

"Boss, could you really be the embodiment of a deity on Earth?" Drizzle Rain, in her adolescence, couldn't suppress her wild fantasies, "People in the circle talk as if these honeys are miracles performed by you."

"Don't idolize the honey's effects," Hua Mi replied, "That 'beam of light' you felt is, in fact, a power you've always possessed, just hidden deep within. The honey merely induced it. I hope that in the future, you'll discover and utilize that power without relying on the honey. You should be able to harness that energy by yourself."

"Sounds profound; I don't quite get it (⊙⊙)?"

"It's fine if you don't understand now. When you're a bit older, you will."

"Okay."

Hua Mi cringed slightly upon seeing his own words. The sudden authoritative tone he adopted was odd.

"At her age, at most, she'd call me 'big bro.' Spending too much time with the Seven Littles, I shouldn't start considering myself a 'grandpa,'" Hua Mi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

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

In hindsight, it was akin to gradually transporting elements of magic from another realm to Earth.

Although the progress seemed slow, incremental changes would lead to a qualitative transformation.

To a certain extent, the fusion of magic and Earth might trigger marvelous reactions.

He had previously fretted over this.

But with an increasing exposure to the otherworldly, his perspective had shifted.

There was no need to be excessively cautious.

Just as technology possessed a double-edged nature, so did magic. One shouldn't throw away opportunities for fear of the unknown.

Moreover, he couldn't foresee the future.

All he knew was what he was presently doing, whether providing magical honey or using magical forces to address environmental issues—both were beneficial to ordinary people and Earth's development.

That was enough.

...

Upon the arrival of construction materials, Hua Mi began expanding the greenhouse.

This time, he planned five distinct areas.

The Windchime Flower occupied one, covering about ten acres.

There were only five Abyssal Trees planted, requiring minimal land due to optimal spacing. It was the smallest field at the moment.

The remaining three areas were roughly ten acres each, designated for Feather Garment Flowers and Dreaming Moon Flowers.

These two honeys had garnered significant attention within the circle; it was time for their return.

One area was kept as a spare.

The Windchime Flowers would yield nectar in just over ten days.

However, the growth cycle of the Abyssal Trees was considerably longer.

Even with continuous magical catalysts, it might take months for them to bloom—unless there was a more efficient or miraculous magical method.

...

Several days later, the third batch of Eternal Bliss Honey was harvested, adding nearly 500 more bottles to the inventory.

As planned, they wouldn't be restocked immediately. Instead, they'd wait for the Windchime Flower Honey production, which would take another ten days or so.

Additionally, during this harvest, luck seemed to favor him, resulting in a by-product: Vigor Pills.

This had occurred once before, formed by Vitality Bees and Eternal Bliss Flowers.

Following the same procedure, consuming the Vigor Pills propelled Hua Mi into a meditative state.

His muscles and tendons felt like they'd undergone a refining fire. Once the effects of the pills dissipated, his strength surged by another level. Lifting a 50-kilogram barbell with a single hand was effortless, making him almost the ruler of the gym.

Physically, his muscles hadn't visibly changed much in size, but their firmness had remarkably increased. His chest and abdominal muscles felt as solid as live wood.

...

On this day, Hua Mi was engrossed in reading inside the wooden house.

Outside, there was incessant clattering as Big Bear worked on construction.

Speaking of efficiency, Big Bear was truly remarkable, working as effectively as ten men—of course, he also ate several times more than an average person.

However, food and such were supplied limitlessly. With enough savings, he practically owned Earth's resource reserve.

Big Bear's diligence and conscientiousness provided Hua Mi, the client, with immense relief.

It made focusing on reading much easier.

The book Hua Mi was currently engrossed in was the alchemical recipe discovered in the Misty Mountain Range.

Though he lacked the blue bars and couldn't study alchemy, remembering the recipe was a safer bet.

Knowledge was a form of power; what was remembered belonged solely to oneself, with the brain being the most trustworthy in this regard.

This way, even if the notebook were lost or destroyed, there would

be no loss.

Moreover, if he aimed to establish himself as a master alchemist, he couldn't afford to flip through notes every time a particular alchemical creation was mentioned; it would diminish his credibility.

As evening approached, Hua Mi concluded his reading session.

He replenished his mental energy by consuming an Eternal Bliss Honey Pill before retrieving the meditation sphere.
