"As you can see, taking care of the pea vines here is the main focus of our work."

Miss Pea led Ronald into the garden.

When it came to introducing the work content, Miss Pea's attitude changed in an instant, becoming a rather responsible Cultivator.

She guided Ronald through the entire setup of these twenty-two types of peas, then described their growth habits and the key points of regular watering and fertilizing work by the cultivators, as if enumerating her family treasures.

Miss Pea didn't forget to continue with heartfelt earnestness:

"For instance, take this pea vine; it belongs to the long-stem pea, and must be strictly distinguished from the short-stem pea over there. We mustn't confuse their types; there's also the round and wrinkled seeds, seed coat colors, which are not easy to confirm during the flowering period like now. But even so, we must ensure absolute accuracy in distinction, because once there's a mistake here, all work would be in vain..."

Ronald followed Miss Pea, walking through the garden.

Besides feeling the meticulousness and complexity of this work, his heart couldn't help but be stirred by Miss Pea into memories of the past.

Just like when Ronald was a child, seeing it in textbooks.

The pea plant is indeed a good experimental target for verifying genetic factors, with various traits that are very easy to identify and nearly error-free.

And to select such fine varieties from countless plants.

Even if only discussing the effort during the selection process, it would likely consume more energy than most people can imagine.

These scientific workers, whose names are marked in human history,

are truly admirable.

...

Thus, following Miss Pea all the way.

Due to the huge difference in body proportions compared to the pea vines, when Miss Pea finished introducing the work content, about three hours had passed.

After completing the task of introducing the work to Ronald, Miss Pea immediately shed her previous serious demeanor.

"Oh?!"

The next second, Miss Pea's face turned beet red, and she lowered her head, dashing away in small steps toward the Cultivators' living area. After walking several meters, she shyly stopped, then turned back to beckon to Ronald:

"Alright, the introduction on this side is over."

"Now, let's go back, and I'll tell you about the Cultivators' lodging, and some small details to note in the daily work."

Ronald smiled and nodded, quickly catching up.

"Hold on, I'll be right there."

"..."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at their destination.

The Cultivators of different plants in the garden live in different areas, but they are generally divided within the range of the plants they are responsible for. The place where Miss Pea resides is right next to a pea frame, built with a large framework woven from long wooden vines.

Although the actual size of this vine frame is merely the volume of a handcrafted object.

But for them, whose bodies have shrunk to the size of ants, this is unquestionably a palace-sized, super luxurious residence!

Miss Pea then led Ronald into it.

Passing through a doorway elegantly decorated with a homey vibe, the first thing that met their sight were several backpacks hanging from the porch behind the entrance.

Miss Pea immediately followed up with an explanation:

"These backpacks are very important tools in our work. Because insect pollinators might mix up the species, the pollination work for plants must be entirely up to us—I've been busy with this recently!"

Ronald curiously confirmed:

"Are these backpacks for carrying pollen?"

"Exactly!" Miss Pea nodded seriously with an expression, "And you must remember, to the east, there is a small pool where every time we finish pollinating with pollen, we must first go there to clean the backpacks and remove any residues..."

Jingle!!!

Suddenly, a crisp bell sound came from up ahead at the monastery.

Upon hearing this sound, Miss Pea's expression changed in an instant.

Then, she didn't bother to continue explaining the importance of work details to Ronald but turned and rushed into the room, grabbing her small satchel, then hurriedly ran towards the outside of the garden.

Just before leaving, Miss Pea halted in time, not forgetting to instruct Ronald for the last time:

"The bell sound is the adults calling us, those responsible for cultivating plants!"

"Ronald, this afternoon's pea pollination work is up to you, remember not to make any mistakes!"

With those words, Miss Pea's figure instantly vanished at the garden's entrance.

Ronald stood frozen, seeing the scene, taken aback for a moment.

It wasn't until a few seconds later, upon carefully observing his surroundings, that he confirmed Miss Pea had suddenly disappeared from this world.

Moreover, looking towards the other areas of various plant types in the distance,

the cultivators, whose traces could be vaguely seen, had all disappeared at this moment.

In other words—

At this moment, the garden within the monastery only had Ronald left!

"..."

Facing such a sight, Ronald stood in place, shaking his head bitterly with a wry smile, only to suddenly realize:

"So... this is the second content of the trial, huh..."

After confirming the situation, Ronald hesitated no longer.

He turned and grabbed a backpack from the corridor, turned around, and headed toward the area where the peas were growing.

After all, Miss Pea had made it very clear before she left.

His task today, staying here, was to pollinate these pea vines.

And to be fair, compared to the implicit trial of choice earlier, the work Miss Pea left for him now was rather straightforward, and the difficulty is apparent.

As long he paid attention to every word during the explanation just now, and remembered the distinctions and notes of different pea types, the following work would just follow the routine and maintain careful repetition.

But if he hadn't listened carefully to the information given by Miss Pea,

then this task could be destined to encounter failure, with almost no possibility of completion.

After all, these twenty-two types of peas are not just twenty-two plants.

Each plant variety actually has several pea vines requiring dedicated pollination, which concerns the accuracy of experimental data conclusions and must not bear any negligence.

Fortunately, Ronald was meticulous enough.

Every handling detail that Miss Pea had mentioned along the road, as well as the current stage only in bloom, where specific details of the pea vines could not be discerned, he remembered the traits they represented.

Now it simply came down to putting on the backpack and pollinating these pea vines.

Moreover, remember to wash the backpack in the eastern pond each time after pollination—
