Chapter 526: This Project, Please Come Up with a Plan

Lloyd stared at the 'nursery' in front of him for a while. Since he knew nothing about gardening, he turned around and waved at the tentacle grass in the glass cover.

The tentacle grass crawled out of the glass cover by itself, and then jumped to Lloyd's side.

"Well... I'll leave this nursery to you to take care of from now on."

"Hey?"

Tentacle Grass asked in confusion.

"Just help me tidy it up. Make it beautiful, neat, clean, gorgeous and exquisite, but also low-key and restrained... But the most important thing is, don't cause any damage. How about that? It should be simple, right?"

"Hey..."

The tentacle grass looked dejected and seemed very reluctant.

It wasn't that Lloyd was deliberately trying to pua others, but after a simple observation, he found that after these sprouts were planted, it would be a bit troublesome to move them...

It's not that he himself would get hurt, but the [Seed of Distortion] would be damaged, just like forcibly digging a seed in reality out of the soil, and it would most likely die.

Therefore, if I want to optimize the layout of this nursery, it means that these more than 600 [Twisted Seeds] have to be replanted.

This is too troublesome...

Moreover, this brutal and forced removal of the [Seed of Distortion] is likely to cause some immeasurable adverse effects on the victim.

So Lloyd thought of the tentacle grass, to see if it could come up with a better solution.

Even though it looks like a monster, Lloyd was quite satisfied with the solutions it came up with when encountering problems before.

So if this problem can be properly resolved this time, let him be promoted to project manager!

However, Tentacle Grass doesn't seem to be very interested in this rising opportunity?

Lloyd saw that it lacked motivation to work, so he quickly encouraged it:

"Work hard, and if you do well, I'll let you be the project manager... Oh, no, aren't you the project manager now? You're mainly responsible for the gardening project here."

"嘤嘤嘤?"

Tentacle Grass showed a surprised look, perhaps because it didn't expect that it would encounter this form of workplace bullying?

Then it started to dance around, trying hard to explain something to Lloyd.

Lloyd tried to interpret it, and then asked tentatively:

"You mean... you can't do it? You can't even do such a simple thing? You don't have ambition? You don't have confidence? You don't have artistic appreciation? You don't know gardening?"

"Hey..."

Tentacle Grass admitted reluctantly.

Although what it originally wanted to express was probably not what Lloyd understood, it probably didn't think so lowly of itself...

"Ah...you really disappoint me."

Lloyd shook his head helplessly.

So Tentacle Grass started shouting and explaining again, trying to convey his thoughts to Lloyd again.

After some effort in body language communication, Lloyd probably understood some of it:

"You mean, you don't want to be a commander without troops, and you want a subordinate? Let it be in charge of this matter?"

"Hey!"

Tentacle Grass responded quickly, with much more strength than before. It seems that Lloyd guessed right.

"You don't want to be a good project manager, but you want to be an incompetent HR..."

Lloyd complained in a low voice and then asked:

"Then how do you plan to recruit subordinates? As you know, this is my [Thinking Field], not a bus. Not everyone can come in."

The tentacle grass then skipped to the front of the nursery, stood next to the most special plant, and then began to explain something with gestures.

The young bud it chose happened to be the most special one in the field. It was blood red all over, representing the advisor Eskimir...

"You want to take him in as your subordinate? No, no! It's too dangerous!"

Lloyd waved his hand quickly.

The tentacle grass did not continue to force it, but changed its target and moved to the sprout representing Jenkins, indicating that this one would also be acceptable.

"Old James? He may be fine, but can you ensure his safety? And will my identity not be exposed? And how do you plan to let him play the role of 'gardener'?"

Lloyd asked.

Tentacle Grass then took out a 'live broadcast interface' from behind it as if performing magic, and the content was exactly the nursery in front of it.

However, there was no sign of Lloyd and Tentacle Grass.

Then, a blurry figure slowly emerged in the picture. It looked somewhat similar to Jenkins and was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown.

It seems that he has not fully recovered since being kidnapped last time and is still recuperating.

But this figure is not Jenkins's real body, but seems hazy and blurred. It may be just a trace of his consciousness, or a state similar to "out-of-body experience", a bit like the situation when the seminar was held when the black and white chessboard was still there.

However, no such shadow appeared in front of Lloyd, nor did he feel that anyone had entered his [Thinking Field].

In other words, the nursery seen in the live broadcast is not the one in the realm of thinking, but a replica of the tentacle grass through some means?

It feels a bit like a scene constructed with the power of [illusion]?

"and then?"

Lloyd asked curiously, wanting to see what other tricks the tentacle grass could perform.

The tentacle grass immediately started dancing again, and then James in the 'live broadcast' was seen approaching a tender sprout in a daze, and then carefully touching the leaves of the tender sprout with his hand.

After a moment, a faint glow appeared on the surface of the leaf, as if it was infused with spiritual power.

What followed was a magical scene that Lloyd felt. A young sprout in front of him began to glow slightly, and he could sense a hint of "redemption" on it.

"Huh? You actually transferred the power over here?"

Lloyd couldn't help but be surprised by this discovery.

Although this tentacle grass can always do some unexpected things, it can also draw other people's power from the sprouts to strengthen the octopus puppet for Eloro.

But this is the first time I have seen someone actively give strength back to the sprouts.

Active and passive, there is a big difference between them...

"What happens next?"

Lloyd asked again.

Tentacle Grass then used body language to signal Lloyd to operate the live broadcast screen in front of him.

Lloyd tried to poke the slightly glowing bud with his finger, just like he did when he played the pay-to-win mobile game. The bud seemed to be specially highlighted.

The young bud suddenly shook as if it was very elastic, and then floated into the air, as if it was "lifted up" by Lloyd.

Then swipe your finger again and tap the screen, and the sprout will be planted in another place.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The tentacle grass hummed twice with some pride, as if it was showing off something.

"Okay, I see what you mean. This is an unexpected new feature, quite interesting..."

Lloyd responded casually, then moved closer to check the sprout that had been moved.

It does not represent Jenkins' own plant, but belongs to a work of art monster.

After this movement, the effectiveness of the [Twist] above was not affected at all and continued to operate normally, effectively preventing these monsters from committing suicide.

This is exactly the effect Lloyd needs most.
