When the farmer brought back the wheat seedlings, Luo De had just transplanted the previously discovered blue wheat seedlings to the open space by the manor.

All houses around the manor, except for the Blacksmith Shop, had been demolished and the land had been turned over and prepared for the Magic Plant Garden.

This made the space in the town more cramped, and Luo De understood why wizards needed to establish Wizard Towers.

Magic Plant Garden, Alchemy Room, Meditation Room, Treasure Vault, Library…

A single level simply couldn't accommodate all the things wizards needed, and vast lands would require too much defensive power if built horizontally.

"Didn't think wheat seedlings could really grow in the snow."

Vivian leaned on the fence, looked at the Snow Wheat in the field, and couldn't help but sigh, then asked in confusion,

"This is the fourth one, right… Why wasn't it discovered before?"

"You managed to come out of your sister's body, transforming from a shadow to a human. Wheat growing in winter isn't that surprising."

Luo De said casually, "A lot of things need opportunity and luck. If you seize it, you can discover it."

"Perhaps Snow Wheat was discovered before, but people just didn't care."

Snow Wheat was the name Luo De gave to the blue wheat seedlings.

It's worth mentioning that after careful observation of these Snow Wheat, Luo De found that their stems were slender and leaves were long and narrow, suggesting they mutated from rye seedlings.

And the places where they were discovered were all areas where rye was planted.

As for the mutation of wheat, Luo De has not discovered any to date.

After all, wheat wasn't planted in large quantities and was exclusive to the lord's grain, harvested more carefully, so any lost was minimal.

The four Snow Wheat found in the wild proved that this mutation was directional, not completely random, which undoubtedly gave Luo De confidence.

Luo De now assigned all available slaves to their work, divided into five groups of a total of five hundred people, planning to cultivate 200 acres of experimental mutation fields.

If each acre is expected to have 80,000 seedlings, then 200 acres would be 16 million rye seedlings.

Even with a one percent probability, they could harvest from two acres by then.

Luo De couldn't estimate the yield, but if following rye's yield, it should be about 900 pounds.

Luo De wanted more experimental fields, but time and manpower didn't allow it.

Moreover, everything about these Snow Wheat was unknown, so stopping all else to focus on them wasn't feasible.

"Hmm, that does make sense."

Vivian nodded slightly and then changed the subject, "My sister has finished translating all the book titles in the library. I can write them out immediately."

"Then hurry and write them out, and let Avril take a couple back to the manor to translate."

Luo De couldn't help but sigh, "Staying in that underground Wizard Tower for so long, she must be molding already."

"I think it's fine."

Vivian pouted and followed Luo De back to the hall.

On the other side, Avril placed the list of book titles in front of her, looking at them line by line, while Vivian wrote them out one by one in the hall.

Once actually written out, Luo De found it wasn't thousands of books at all.

But 22,178 books.

Vivian copied from the afternoon until night and didn't even finish a fraction.

Vivian managed to keep copying energetically, but Luo De, after eating two frozen pears, grew sleepy.

Critically, at this rate, Vivian wouldn't finish copying even if she wrote for two more days.

No wonder Avril hadn't reported back for such a long time.

"Stop copying for now, "

Late at night, Luo De sat next to Vivian, and said,

"Let Avril come back first."

"Oh, does Lord Baron miss my sister so much?"

Vivian put down the pen and looked at Luo De with interest.

"Of course I miss her, and this is mainly your fault."

Luo De smiled openly.

"My fault?" Vivian was a bit puzzled.

"Of course it's your fault. If you were as gentle and graceful as your sister, I wouldn't miss her so much."

As he spoke, Luo De glanced Vivian up and down, expression slightly disdainful.

"… Bah!"

Vivian rolled her eyes, speechless.

Her banter backfired, causing her to turn her head away, refusing to look at Luo De.

"You always lose to me in arguments yet still love to banter."

Luo De reached out and rubbed Vivian's head,

"Have your sister check if there are any books on magic plant cultivation, magical beast breeding, and foundational spellbooks to bring back."

"Also, if there are any books on magic potions, bring those back as well."

Luo De was no longer an ordinary youth without magic power.

"Hmph!"

Vivian snorted with her back to Luo De.

"Hmph?"

Luo De raised an eyebrow in response.

Next second, he directly grabbed a frozen pear from the plate and suddenly stuffed it against Vivian's neck!

"I'll show you to snort, I'll show you to snort!"

"Ah—help!"

Vivian screamed and shrunk her neck, trying to escape.

But how could she match Luo De's strength?

Struggling fruitlessly for a long time.

"I won't humph anymore, I won't!"

She quickly begged for mercy, protecting her neck, "I'll talk business! My sister replied, there are more than ten of the books you want!"

"Should I bring them all back?"

Hearing it was business, Luo De withdrew his hand, casually placing the frozen pear aside, nodded,

"If they're foundational, bring them all back."

"Okay."

Vivian agreed and conveyed Luo De's order to the other side.

"Let's go, back to the room to rest."

Luo De yawned long and headed towards the room.

Vivian glanced at the frozen pear on the table, a cunning smile appearing on her lips.

Seizing the moment Luo De walked past her, she swiftly grabbed the frozen pear and jabbed it towards Luo De's neck!

However, Luo De reacted quickly, sensing the coolness behind his neck, he swiftly turned around and grabbed Vivian's wrist!

"Hmm? Sneak attack?"

Luo De asked with a smile, and with a little force, pressed Vivian's arm in front of her,
