Chapter 400: 240
At the mention of this issue, Hiludi couldn’t help but tear up, “Falling out, a lot of it falls out, particularly during test periods.”
This might be an unavoidable problem for every young and promising wizard. Over-thinking, staying up late, eating food high in oil and salt, having unclean habits, and excess oleaginous secretions clogging the hair follicles...
Hiludi doubts whether her hair can last until she’s forty. Many of her seniors barely pass thirty before they start to bald.
To outsiders, wizards appear elegant in their floating robes, high collars, and pointed hats. However, Hiludi knows that once the hats are removed, most of them are bald.
She doesn’t want to become a bald person like her seniors. If it were actually to happen, she would rather shave all her hair off.
However, the more she doesn’t want to be bald, the more anxious she becomes, and the more her hair falls out. She has consulted many wizards, regardless of schools, all claiming to have no solution.
“If there was a solution, would we still be bald?” One irritated senior yelled at her. He felt that she was poking his wounds, just because she still had her hair.
Now, Hiludi has learned to not dwell on this issue. If it happens, she’ll just shave it all off. Unexpectedly, Lisa brought up this topic suddenly, causing all her worries to resurface. With a reproachful look towards Lisa, she complained, “Why did you bring this up? It can’t be cured.”
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Lisa say, “Hair is a bit difficult; it needs adults to handle it personally. The effect will also be slower, needing a whole night. How about this? Rest here tonight? Sister can arrange a sand bath for you?”
Hiludi swallowed her unspoken words and asked with a stunned tone, “Can... can it regrow hair?”
Lisa replied as though it was the most natural thing in the world, “Of course, this is the Goddess of Beauty City. If there was no hair, where would the beauty come from?”
“I... this... Sister, let me catch up for a moment.” Hiludi took a deep breath, contemplated for a moment, and suddenly asked, “Sister, if I start believing in the Goddess of Beauty now, will it be too late?”
...
On the barren land between East River and Goddess of Beauty City, Ange had obtained a lot of water velvet fluff. It was used to improve the water retention capacity of the sandy soil, and bird droppings and dragon soil were mixed in as fertilizers to enhance the soil properties. Different kinds of crops were planted in different plots, with the breadfruit tree accounting for the majority.
This new crop, obtained from the druid, had the potential to become a new staple crop. It is particularly suited for desert environments due to its drought resistance, and can survive in sandy soil.
During high moisture periods, it collects water in its trunk and fruit, and then consumes this stored water during the dry season to survive.
It doesn’t have many leaves, hence a low rate of evaporation, making it suitable for large-scale planting.
Bamboo was planted in small amounts for experimental comparison. However, even if it survived, he has no plans to plant bamboo in the desert; they consume too much water.
After dropping Hiludi off with Lisa, he was kept busy here. Both he and Negris unanimously agreed that in terms of manipulating people’s hearts, Lisa’s skills were 120 times superior to theirs.
But it’s not always this way. For instance, Negris’s Fire of Mass Faith ignited on its own. The Fire of Mass Faith of the Harvest Girl Goddess was ignited by nobles and landlords. In short, it’s all very puzzling.
Ange hadn’t done anything; he just kept tilling the fields, yet for some unexplainable reason, his Fire of Mass Faith was ignited out of nowhere. Was he the Goddess of Fortune? Was the flame lit by the Goddess of Fortune?
“Touch it and see what it is,” Negris said.
Ange extended his hand and gently tapped the transparent flame.
The Fire of Mass Faith whooshed into Ange’s body, with countless pieces of information flooding into his soul.
After remaining dumbstruck for quite a while, Ange turned around with a strange expression.
Negris asked eagerly, “Well? What’s the situation? Who ignited the Fire of Mass Faith? What divine category? Any awakened Divine Technique?”
“Hiludi, Goddess of Beauty, no Divine Technique,” Ange responded.
As he spoke, Ange held out his palm. Hiludi’s face appeared on it, her eyes full of hope. A voice rose, “Such a good thing, we should share it with our senpai. Is it too late to believe in the Goddess of Beauty now?”
“This sentence ignited the Fire of Mass Faith?” Negris asked skeptically, “Why? What’s the key? Good thing? Sharing? Or ‘believe in the Goddess of Beauty’?”
Negris speculated considerably but without more samples for comparison, he still couldn’t understand how Hiludi had ignited the Fire of Mass Faith.
“So, now you have dual divine category? Goddess of Beauty? What use is that?” Negris inquired.
Ange shook his head, “Three, God of Knowledge.”
“The God of Knowledge category is mine...” Negris raged, stomping in frustration. So pitiful, he was down to one category and this guy was still trying to steal it.
But right after he said this, he remembered that, yes, he was Ange’s subsidiary god, so theoretically, his divine category belonged to Ange as well.
“Kvada...”
Things got a little out of control because Hiludi has ignited the Fire of Mass Faith. This was a huge gift and as per the principle of equivalence, Lisa couldn’t use the ‘free package’ to entice the other party, she’d have to opt for a direct giveaway.
Lisa, who received Ange’s instructions, was a bit taken aback, but she soon laughed and said, “Hiludi, how about a lifetime all-inclusive free package?”
Hiludi was clueless that this was an equivalent offering. She thought Lisa was making demands, so the girl who had previously insisted she wouldn’t even glance at the Magic Crystal Mountain immediately grabbed Lisa’s hand, “No problem, sis, I’m up for anything.”
PS: I seem to have the same problem as Harvey, a little disc protrusion in my waist, it hurts when I sit down.
