This attitude is truly enthusiastic...

Ronald slightly grumbled in his heart, then immediately spoke:

"I'd like to inquire, after I make my choice, do I need to do something right away?"

Though he already had a basic judgment of the environment he was in.

Ronald's attitude remained very cautious.

He understood that in the current trial, all spell abilities were basically unusable.

In such circumstances.

Maintaining a cautious approach in dealing with everything is always the right choice.

The group surrounding him did not hide much either, as one person generously explained:

"Once the choice is made, of course, it's to join us in cultivating the plants!"

"The master's work requires a considerable number of people to participate and collaborate, even that poor Pea Miss beside you, if you ask her now, she actually also needs manpower."

As soon as the explanation ended, someone else quickly followed up:

"Of course, I believe with your wisdom, you shouldn't be joining some weak and useless plant cultivation work."

"Choosing the right path is extremely important for everyone!"

"..."

Hearing these persuasions and explanations, Ronald became more certain of his suspicions.

Thus, he made one final tentative probe:

"May I ask, with Mendel's experiment, what stage are we currently at?"

"..."

"How dare you address the master's name directly!"

Upon hearing Ronald's inquiry, the crowd surrounding him instantly became abnormally tense, and soon someone rebuked:

"Understand this——as cultivators, once we work diligently, we'll all enjoy the final glorious results together. You fool, never address the master's name so recklessly next time!"

"..."

Receiving such a reply, Ronald almost broke into laughter.

Although he already had considerable confidence in his deductions earlier, hearing such a confirmation from people in front of him, he was now 100% certain.

The trial he was currently part of was indeed the "Plant Hybridization Experiment."

As for Mendel's experiment...

Despite it having been years since he last heard of it, Ronald couldn't possibly forget the famous pea experiment completely.

Thinking of this, Ronald's gaze naturally shifted towards the Pea Miss, who had lowered her head due to the arrival of many discussants.

This cultivator, choosing silence at this moment.

Is actually rightfully the absolute protagonist in this monastery garden.

While other cultivator factions like Violet, Chrysanthemum, or Corn.

In Ronald's memory.

They might also be subjects for Mendel's experiment, but their significance could not possibly compare to peas, merely validating experimental results and reflecting insights.

With such obvious information laid out, Ronald's mind was crystal clear.

Yet, he couldn't help but reflect——

If some ignorant resident from another world entered this trial.

The first challenge they would face is choosing a faction.

Compared to the three factions that could directly engage in garden discussions, the quietly standing Pea Miss is truly easy to overlook.

Making the correct choice here is an extremely challenging task.

Unfortunately, such a misdirection was ineffective against Ronald.

So, with a smile appearing on his face, Ronald voiced:

"I choose to join the side of Pea Miss."

"So next, could you possibly guide me on what to do?"

"..."

"Foolish!"

"Ignorant!"

"A dimwit that dares address the master's name directly is surely not a clever being!"

Ronald's choice resulted in others expressing their stance quite frankly.

But unfortunately, these people were no longer relevant to Ronald.

After stating his position, he immediately looked at the surprised Pea Miss before continuing to ask:

"Or perhaps we should also join these discussions, arguing about the importance of our own work?"

With Ronald expressing his current stance. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Pea Miss looked shocked, almost unable to believe the reality before her:

"This cultivator... Are you truly choosing to join my work?"

"Of course!" Ronald replied with a tone that hinted at the obvious, "I wouldn't deliberately voice a choice against my conscience in front of everyone, would I?"

"Ah..."

"Well, since that's the case, why don't we first go see the growth status of the pea seedlings. Participating in the discussion here isn't quite our place."

Though Pea Miss's tone remained shocked, her decision-making speed was rather satisfactory.

She quickly let go of continuing debates over cultivation priorities with other factions, instead taking Ronald away from there and heading towards the left side of the garden.

...

Walking within this gigantic garden like ants.

It's indeed a novel experience.

Ronald followed Pea Miss ahead, passing through many plants specifically cultivated here and freely growing weeds along the way. He even saw insects similar to his own size, passing on the dirt road beside him.

If Pea Miss hadn't reminded Ronald that these insects wouldn't harm them.

Suddenly seeing insects of this size, even just out of instinctive defense, Ronald might have had to avoid them from afar.

And just before they reached their destination.

Seeing Ronald's rapport with Pea Miss developing through conversation along the way, he continued to push the topic forward:

"Pea Miss, how long has our work been underway at the monastery?"

Pea Miss immediately replied:

"This is the third year."

Perhaps because of their road-side conversation, Pea Miss quickly realized that Ronald was someone who enjoyed socializing, and unlike the previous discussants, he didn't exert verbal pressure on others.

Thus, after answering, she even eagerly added her own explanation:

"But according to master's thoughts, our experiment has only completed the initial steps. It'll require at least another three to five years before we can finalize the experimental data..."

With Pea Miss's detailed explanations.

Ronald was finally led to their destination.

It was a pea cultivation area on the monastery's side, specifically fenced in.

Though it didn't occupy much of the entire garden's space, the careful attention that it received indicated it was a significantly prioritized area.

Ronald scanned his surroundings.

Briefly confirming on the towering plant frames.

It soon became clear that there were twenty-two different kinds of peas, all growing healthily here.
