A Beekeeper in a Magical World - Chapter 150: Rave Reviews - (1)
The Next Day
Two measurement bees completed their transformation.
Hua Mi directed these two new bee colonies to line up, intending to practice first.
Their target? A stone.
The bees swarmed, densely coating the stone’s surface.
As the measurement magic field opened, the target’s information immediately appeared in Hua Mi’s mind.
“It’s a commonly found mineral, moderate hardness, usable for making stone tools. Valuation: garbage.”
Then, he took out a bottle of Mirage Flower Bee Honey.
Directing a group of measurement bees to adhere to the bottle.
“A 500ml bottle of Mirage Flower Bee Honey. Brewed from bee-collected Mirage Flower nectar, with a sweet and delightful taste, invigorating. Valuation: high.”
Two conclusions surfaced.
Firstly, the received information was related to his own thoughts and memories.
Secondly, the measured target depended on his personal will. For instance, he wanted to measure the honey, not the bottle.
With this new bee species, future explorations would be much easier.
Although due to their incomplete traits, there’d inevitably be objects the bee colonies couldn’t analyze.
Yet, he was content.
…
Today, the snow had stopped.
Hua Mi began preparing a separate shelter for Lu Fei.
He intended to build it beside the small cabin, the two structures almost adjacent, with just a narrow alley between.
He quickly found a stable design online and planned to follow the blueprint for construction.
The structure needn’t be overly complex or large, merely a single room for Lu Fei.
First step: gather materials, mainly wood.
The trees in the Black Forest were robust and mostly grew straight, perfect for construction.
His control over the ring-cut bees was proficient now, so cutting wood was a trivial task.
Next, he planned to practice wood carving with the ring-cut bees… a challenging endeavor, he anticipated.
As he controlled the ring-cut bees to fell trees, a burly figure entered his field of vision, striding briskly toward him.
It was “Big Bear.”
On the night of the full moon, this lycanthrope had lost control and ended up in the greenhouse, but Hua Mi had “tamed” him with a bottle of Mirage Flower Bee Honey.
Big Bear wasn’t his real name; his original name was too long to remember.
He marched toward Hua Mi and got straight to the point:
“Let me handle the construction.”
Hua Mi found it odd. How did he know I intended to build?
It was only after an explanation that Hua Mi understood.
Turns out, Big Bear had met Xiao Zi outside today and casually inquired about Hua Mi’s situation. Learning that Hua Mi was preparing to build a house, Big Bear had hurried over to help.
“I promised not to take your honey for free. So, let me handle this small matter,” Big Bear said earnestly.
He claimed to have prior experience in house construction and assured there wouldn’t be any problems.
His sincere tone and muscular physique seemed fitting for the task.
Hua Mi ceased his courtesy, agreeing readily. Considering Big Bear’s experience, he discarded the online blueprints, allowing him free rein.
Thus, Big Bear became a temporary worker here.
Although Big Bear didn’t demand payment, Hua Mi didn’t skimp on him.
Earthly delicacies were served continuously, with honey provided at every meal.
Big Bear seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time here.
This allowed Hua Mi to focus on more meaningful tasks.
Don’t be mistaken; he was usually quite busy with numerous tasks.
Caring for the flower field and bee colonies, practicing bee control, training mental strength, reading to understand this world, learning foreign languages, managing affairs from Earth, running the “Bee Whisperer’s Cabin”…
Each task was crucial, unable to be neglected.
On Earth’s end,
In less than a week, the first batch of honey from the “Bee Whisperer’s Cabin” was completely sold out.
The Micro Chat group had grown to over seven hundred members.
Discussions became livelier, sometimes with heated exchanges late into the night.
Aside from the playful banter, there were serious discussions about honey and bee-related knowledge.
Of course, most discussions revolved around the two newly released honeys.
Hua Mi quickly skimmed through and found overwhelmingly positive reviews.
A member named “Three Stones Chef” posted a photo of a culinary contest trophy, along with an appetizing dish.
“This is a traditional dish in my family, called ‘Seven Delicacies.’ Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away suddenly without passing down the recipe, leaving behind only a partial cookbook.
“Taking advantage of this culinary contest, I’ve been researching its preparation. However, this dish’s process is incredibly intricate. Without the complete recipe, replicating it is exceedingly challenging.
“Just when I was about to give up, the boss entered my sight again with his honey.
“Let me share my experience. Firstly, this Blessing Flower Bee Honey not only boosts mental acuity but importantly, it significantly enhances my perception of ingredients. I can even sense the fusion between seasoning and ingredients, imagining the final flavor… Thanks to this honey, I quickly replicated the recipe for Seven Delicacies and won the culinary contest championship, so I’m here to share the good news.
“Lastly, I want to say to the boss: Boss, you’re my savior!”
This lengthy message naturally caught Hua Mi’s attention.
After reading it, he couldn’t help but smile.
That’s how superfans are created, huh?
However, the chef’s mention of how the Blessing Flower Bee Honey improved his ingredient perception… that was unexpected.
He hadn’t anticipated this honey having benefits for cooking. But considering the honey’s effects, it wasn’t surprising. He’d simply overlooked this aspect, being focused on alchemy before.
Cooking, in some ways, shared similarities with alchemy—adding various ingredients to create a final product. Quantities, sequence, timing, heat, all played crucial roles.
The only difference was that cooking didn’t require magical involvement.
Fellow group members congratulated him on the victory.
Following that, another member named “Mendeleev’s Hydrogen Element” echoed the chef’s sentiments:
“I’m a professional inorganic chemist. Recently, I’ve been tormented by an experiment, failing at least fifty times.
“This honey has enhanced my control over experiments, allowing me to witness material reactions. Finally, I successfully obtained the target crystal.”
Accompanying the text was a test tube image, containing an unidentified liquid with a transparent crystal immersed within.
Many other group members shared their achievements too.
“This honey significantly boosts mental acuity. I managed to achieve a full score in an exam, thanks to it!”
“Blessing Flower Bee Honey makes writing ten thousand words a day a breeze!”
“It’s helped clarify my thoughts while I’m slacking off at work!”
“Too bad it’s limited to one bottle. Boss, when will this honey be restocked?”
